September 1948.
Requisitioned Railway Materials.
1. In view of the further delay
which is likel
occur before the
Chinese Government's claims can be
settled (see paragraph 4 below) the
War Office have agreed to proceed to
a separate settlement of the War
Supplies Board and the Kowloon-Canton
Railway (British Section) claims,
particulars of which were given in
Appendices A and E to Sir Mark Young's
1947 file despatch No. 80 of 10th April 1947.
enclose for your consideration a
statement giving details of the
immediate settlement which the War
Office are prepared to recommend and I
should be grateful for your
observations on this.
2.
In the case of the War Supplies
Board claim (which is for freight
and 2% commission) a final settlement
cannot, because of the commission
element on it, be reached until the
other claims, Chinese and British,
have been finally settled.
