NOTHING TO BE WRITTEN IN THIS MARGIN
W(B)L 51-7406
between the remaining six detained in China
and the confrontation prisoners. I fear that,
having released Watt, the Chinese will now do
nothing about Crouch and Johnston until we
have made a gesture of some kind. They make
it clear that they do not regard normal
remission as adequate although this should
not stop us continuing to tell them we do.

If út
hossille
were
to release some sick
prisoners I think I could present it to
Mr. Ma as an adequate next step for a move on
their part. Otherwise I fear that there is
a real risk that the Chinese may now feel
forced to proceed to sentence Crouch and
Johnston.
