2. I can see no objection, should Hong Kong wishes
to,
to asking British posts abroad to take any
action that they thought necessary to re-assure
importers there that business was going on as usual
in Hong Kong and that they could expect orders to
be met. But, surely this should be done in
consultation with the Hong Kong Government, and
not merely at the request of the Hong Kong
Association whose standing in anyway is unknown
to us in Commonwealth Trade Department. No doubt
posts abroad have the appropriate "publicity media"
(to use the words of the Hong Kong Association
letter) to put over whatever we agree with the
Hong Kong Government would be a suitable form of
words. In this connection there was, I believe,
some time ago some correspondence (I think the
papers are with your department) about what British
posts abroad would do on behalf of Hong Kong's
exports it might be worth looking them up in
this connection.
