Addressed to Hong Kong telegram No. 90 of 5 November. Repeated for information to Foreign Office, POLAD Singapore and Washington.
(154)
Your telegram No. 1641 to Commonwealth Office.
I realise that some Press statement is inevitable but in view of the Chinese wishes the less said the better.
In any case no (repeat no) reference should be made to discussions in Peking or to the fact that talks had Peking's blessing, otherwise we may create difficulties for moderate elements here.
53) 2.
As we have only just had your telegrams Nos. 1640 and 1642 the first of which is corrupt we are taking no (repeat no) action with Foreign Ministry.
Foreign Office pass Flash to Hong Kong 90, Priority to POLAD Singapore 16 and Washington 17.
Mr. Hopson
[Repeated as requested]
