attempt by the latter to apply a considered African policy, would suffer a marked deterioration. If, therefons, the question of an exchange of Notes, covering the grant of reciprocal rights between this country and China in the matter of acquiring real property, comes to be pursued further, we hope that the Foreign Offies will consider Very carefully whether there is any means of securing that in doing so we can avoid raising this awkward dilem in respect of the Kenya position.
