•

FOLLOWING FROM POLITICAL ADVISER.

I AM SURE YOU WILL BEAR IN MIND THAT MCLAREN DOES NOT ARRIVE TO

RELIEVE WALDEN AS APA UNTIL 2 MAY, AND THAT A BRIEF TAKEOVER .

-

PERIOD WOULD BE DESIRABLE, ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF THE POSSIBILITY

OF CONTINUING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE N CNA.

;

2. WE ASSUME THAT WALDEN'S ENTRY VISA WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE GRANTED

(PARA 2 OF PEKING TELEGRAM 333). GRATEFUL OF TELEGRAMS ON THIS

SUBJECT COULD BE COPIED TO HONG KONG IN VIEW OF POSSIBLE RELEVANCE

TO LAUGHTON AND WALDEN.
