Dear Mayle,

Our newly-appointed Political Adviser suggests that

the legal advisers to the Foreign Office may be interested in

the attached memorandum compiled on the 18th Jamary by T. X.

Hazlerigg

In view of the impression which, though mistaken,

is quite prevalent, that the Chinese have a right to free

admission to Hong Kong, I am enclosing a second copy for your

own reference.

N. L. Mayle, Esq., Colonial Office, Downing Street, S. W. 1

C. C. L. H. Lamb, Esq.,

British Embassy,

NANKING.

Yours sincerely,

Doug
