Thank you for your letter of 7 October.
5-3
We have sent the telegram you suggest, but to Oslo
only. To Hong Kong Michael Wilford has sent a personal
telegram which informs them that we have decided to say
our piece to the Norwegians but goes rather further in
explaining why we do not accept the Governor's argument
N.P. We have in
///
than a mere copy of the Oslo telegram would
mind that at some time in the fairly near future we shall
be discussing with the Governor this question of the
extent of Hong Kong's negotiating authority. But this
does not mean, of course, that we envisage any gloss on
rs(at
the definition of Hong Kong's powers at which we have
already worked so hard which would allow Hong Kong to
object to what you rightly called in an earlier minute
so "mild an intervention" as we intend in this Norwegian
case.
