(b) The Governor has reported further (our telegram No.649
and Hong Kong telegram No.760) that all members of
the group except Mr. Butler attended the discussions
with him and that subsequently they tried to persuade
Lord Blyton not to pursue the matter, possibly with
some success.
14. I suggest that these developments do not invalidate the
course of action already recommended. But additionally, if the
information that Lord Blyton will be in London today or tomorrow
proves to be correct, we might consider asking him whether he would
be available to see the Minister separately on Monday or Tuesday
since it now seems he may be the only member of the group who
needs to be persuaded of the dangers of bringing this matter into
the open.
15.
Speaking notes are now attached.
