FURTHER ACTION.

Dear Sterndale Bennett,

Thank you for letting us see a copy

of Sir H. Seymour's despatch No.

682 (5/13B/45) of the 20th June and

enclosure about the proposal to appoint

an Economic Liaison Officer to work with

the American Army Headquarters. We have

read this with interest, particularly the

suggestion that this Officer is likely to

be used by the Americans for liaison on

general matters in addition to those for

which he is nominally to be appointed

and the reference to Hong Kong in paragraph

3B of Colonel Cowell's report. For our

part we should welcome the early appoint-

ment of such an Officer and should be glad to have

opportunity

to know whe is finally sex him

before he takes up his appointment.

Yours sincerely,

(Sad) Effent
