Thank you for your letter of 29 July about the
sentencing of certain communist trade unionists in Hong
Kong. Like yourself, we were somewhat concerned about
the possible repercussions of this development (although
in the event it appears to have had the desired effect).
Although we had seen the three references to the matter
orts,
in L.I.C. reports, we would have been happier to have
been specifically consulted in advance. The Foreign
and Commonwealth Office Labour Adviser, with his
special interést in trade union matters, raised the
Lase matter here and it was brought to the attention of the
Shepherde Minister However, since you wrote, the Governor has telegraphed further (Hong Kong telegram No. 149) and I
hope you will agree that this constitutes a reasonably
handsome/ apology. We do not therefore propose to take
the matter further.

I/ am following your example in copying this letter on a personal basis to Arthur Maddocks.
