YOUR TELNO 1753: SIR S Y CHUNG

1.

THANK YOU FOR SECURING THESE VERY SIGNIFICANT

IMPROVEMENTS TO SIR S Y'S SPEECH.

2.

WE COULD LIVE WITH THE REVISED PARAGRAPHS AS THEY STAND.

BUT IF YOU THINK IT PRACTICABLE YOU MAY WISH TO SUGGEST THE

FOLLOWING SMALL EXCISIONS:

(A)

FIRST PARA, THIRD SENTENCE. DELETE THE FIRST CLAUSE AT THAT TIME').

( 'NOTWITHSTANDING THE GREAT CONTROVERSY

ASSUME THAT SIR S Y IS WEDDED TO RECALLING THE THREE PROPOSALS

MADE ON THE VISIT TO PEKING, AND NOTE THAT SIR S Y DOES NOT

INTEND TO SPELL THEM OUT:

(B)

WE

THIRD PARA. DELETE THE SECOND SENTENCE ('THERE IS NO SUCH THING ETC'). THE ARGUMENT FLOWS WELL WITHOUT IT.

3.

PLEASE COULD YOU TELL SIR S Y CHUNG THAT THE SECRETARY OF

STATE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM AT 1045 ON 11 REPEAT 11 JUNE. THE

CALL ON MR RENTON WILL FOLLOW DIRECTLY ON AT 1100 O'CLOCK (IE A
