I am to transmit to you, to be laid before Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain, the accompanying copy of a despatch dated the 9th March, 1926, from the Governor of Hong Kong on this question. Mr. Amery concurs generally in the views expressed by Governor Clementi, to whom a copy of your letter under acknowledgment will be forwarded under cover of a secret despatch. I am to ask that a set of the enclosures to that letter may be furnished for transmission to the Governor.\n\nPage 74\n\nI shall be glad to receive an elucidation of the above.\n\nI am to add that comments will be forthcoming from the Secretary of State on the subject.\n\n(Signed) G.
