release of the newsworkers.
But lest the Governor should
interpret it as meaning that the Secretary of State has
already decided that the newsworkers should be left to
serve out their sentences until September/October, it would

not yet been taken.

In view of the strong views expressed by the Governor
of Hong Kong in his telegram No. 478of 13 June on the question
of the newsworkers, I propose that we ask by telegram for
his comments on the proposed answer. I attach drafts, which
should issue today if possible.
