As for tels Nos.1614 and 1617
From Galsworthy
Hong Kong Border.
Ministers have considered your telegrams Nos. 1614
and 1617. They are in full agreement with the action reported in parzgraph 1 of your telegram No.1617 which is
just the kind of thing we had in mind in paragraph 2 of our
telegram No.2231. Ministers consider it would be most
unwise to give in too quickly and too easily on this point.
They will wish to consider with you what our reactions
should be to the Chinese reply to your latest message.
the Chinese reply is (as you expect) a refusal, one of the
that might be
possibilities to be considered is whether the next step
should be to send lower level negotiators to meeting on
cursuing
If
Chinese side for sole purpose of acting further about venue
What world you think of this?
for next substantive meeting.

and 7 of your telegram No.1614, save that dealing with the
demand for compensation to peasants for losses sustained
as a result of closing the border. They consider it most
undesirable to accede to this demand.
Therefore they
