Sir,

24th July, 1939.
With reference to correspondence ending with
my secret (2) despatch dated 13th February, 1939,
regarding visits to Hong Kong by certain Japanese
vessels pending restoration of normal conditions on
the Pearl River, I have the honour to forward for your
information a copy of a memorandum of a temporary local
working arrangement relating to the navigation of the
Pearl River by certain British vessels and the visits to
Hong Kong of certain Japanese vessels.
This
memorandum has been drawn up and agreed to by both sides,
without prejudice to the position under treaty, after
discussions between the British and Japanese Consuls-
General in Canton, and full consultation between His
Majesty's Consul-General, Canton, the British Naval
Commander-in-Chief, China Station, and myself.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
f.lo. hortura
