Your telegram No. 338:
Lau Fau Shan incident.
For the reasons given in Peking telegram No.297
we think that we should not, repeat not, raise the matter
in Peking at present, even if Hopson should be summoned by
the Chinese to receive a protest about the visit of
American ships.
2.
We agree, however, that you should, if you consider it
essential, take firmer action. We would hope that this will
prove effective. We agree that the action suggested in
paragraph 3 of your telegram No. 338 involves a serious
risk of escalation. We suggest ther-fore that you should
not automatically treat these intruders as illegal
immigrants but, if they give cause, should detain the for
e.g. disorderly behaviour and return them immediately to the
/mainland
