HERTS.

9th January 1941.

I enclose a copy of a cablegram from

His Excellency dealing with the question of firewood

supplies for the Hong Kong Government.

The parts underlined give the nearest inter-

pretation we can find of badly mutilated code words

which we have asked to have repeated.

The general position seems to be clearly

indicated, however, and I shall be glad if you will

kindly let me know as soon as possible what reply we

may send to the Governor.

G.E.J.Gent, Esq., D.S.0., &c. &c.

Colonial Office,

Downing Street,

Yours sincerely,

Wolid grou

London, S.W.1.
