You will/from paragraph 10 of the note at (47of the meeting held on the 24th of October to discuss plans in eonneetion with the University that it was agreed that the Foreign Office should be informed regarding the establishment of the Committee and its objects and given an opportunity of nominating any member if they wished. Sir G. Gent thought that it was doubtful whether they would take a very active interest in the matter, however, and it was partly on this assumption that Sir George Moss (late Consul General, Hankow) was proposed as a member. In view of the fact that any broadening of the basis of the University will rest on the case for using it as an instrument of British policy in China, it seems essential that the Foreign Office should be associated with its deliberations. Indeed the Committee will hardly be in a nosition to make valid recommendations on matters involving important issues of foreign policy without the benefit of Foreign Office advice.

Love The Foreign Office in conversation with

meдexpressed the wish to be kept informed of our intentions in this matter. I have discussed the matter with Mr. Cox and, if you agree, we suggest that you might like to write to the Foreign Office as in draft herewith.
