(A) THE POSSIBILITY OF VISITS BY NCNA ALONE. (IF THE CHINESE ASK SIR DONALD HOPSON WHETHER VISITS BY NCNA ALONE ARE TO BE ALLOWED, HE COULD AT THIS STAGE CONFINE HIMSELF TO SAYING THAT HIS INSTRUCTIONS ARE THAT AN NCNA REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE ALLOWED TO ACCOMPANY THE EMPLOYER IN EACH CASE. IF THE CHINESE CONTINUE TO PRESS THIS POINT, WE WOULD THEN CONSIDER WITH YOU AND DECIDE WHETHER IT WAS BETTER HANDLED IN PEKING OR HONG KONG).:
(B) THE BONA FIDES OF NAMES ON THE CHINESE LIST AND A DECISION ON THIS MUST IN THE FINAL INSTANCE REST WITH YOU IN HONG KONG. 4. YOUR PARAGRAPH 4.
WE FULLY SHARE YOUR WISH TO MINIMISE THE PROPAGANDA OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CHINESE, AND WE HOPE THAT THE SUBSTITUTION PROPOSED IN PARAGRAPH 1(A) ABOVE HELPS TO MEET YOUR POINT.
5. AS THIS HAS BECOME SO INVOLVED, M.I.F.T. SETS OUT THE PLAN OF ACTION FOR HOPSON IN TELEGRAM NO 324 REVISED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THIS TELEGRAM, HOPSON IS BEING INSTRUCTED TO APPROACH THE CHINESE
AS SOON AS YOU HAVE CONFIRMED THAT YOU HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE
CHANGES.
