Dear Scott,

(57) I am replying to your letter of the 10th November to

Mrs. Granger Taylor about British companies in China.

I must agree that differentiation between British companies on account of the nationality of their shareholders seems to be difficult and undesirable. A company incorporated in this camtry under the provisions of the Companies Acts is none the less an English Company because the shareholders are foreigners and a foreign corporation is none the less foreign because the shareholders are English.

I am sending a copy of this letter to Miss Reid and Palmer,

Yours sincerely,

A.L. Scott, Esq., Foreign Office,

Whitehall,

3.W.1.

J.D.P. Chataway.
