Your telegram No. 1095 Grey.
While the indications which you report are
interesting, we are rather doubtful about
accepting them as solid evidence of Chinese
intentions. As against them, we have Shen Ping's
remark to Mr. Foley that "Grey's freedom had been
limited because of a the unreasonable arrests
of N.C.N.A. journalists and other patriotic
correspondents in Hong Kong" (F.0. telegram No.
825 of 6 September to Peking). We continue to
think therefore that the minimum price the Chinese
will exact for Grey will be both Hsueh and Lo.
But we accept that this can only be a matter of
opinion.
