The Private Office have asked for our advice as to the reply

to be returned to the attached telegram from the Foreign

Correspondents' Club in Hong Kong.

2. The Foreign Correspondents' Club usually sends an invitation

of this nature on the occasion of Ministerial visits to the

colony and their invitation is usually turned down.

3. On this occasion there can be no question of the Secretary

of State's accepting the invitation since he will have only one

luncheon in Hong Kong (at the Mandarin Hotel) at which he will

make a major speech to some one hundred and fifty guests.

I attach a draft telegram to the Governor.
