SUPPLEMENTARY EXTRADITION TREATY: OUR TEL NO 2050

AND YOUR TEL NO 2986 (NOW COPIED TO PEKING)

1. WE PROPOSE TO PROCEED AS SUGGESTED BY DALTON. THE

INSTRUMENT OF RATIFICATION WOULD BE UNQUALIFIED AND

WOULD THUS INCLUDE HONG KONG. BUT THE NOTES EXCHANGED

UPON RATIFICATION WOULD MAKE CLEAR THAT THE APPLICATION

OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY WAS SUSPENDED IN RESPECT

OF HONG KONG PENDING NOTICE FROM US THAT THE NECESSARY

STEPS HAD BEEN TAKEN TO ENABLE EFFECT TO BE GIVEN

TO IT IN RELATION TO HONG KONG. GRATEFUL FOR

HONG KONG'S CONFIRMATION THAT THEY HAVE NO OBJECTION.

WE CANNOT GO FIRM WITH THE AMERICANS UNTIL WE HAVE

THIS CONFIRMATION BUT SUGGEST THAT IN THE MEANTIME

DALTON MIGHT PROVIDE YOU WITH A DRAFT EXCHANOE OF

NOTES.

2. WE NOW PROPOSE TO CONSULT THE CHINESE AS SOON

AS POSSIBLE. WE WILL SEND A DRAFT SPEAKING NOTE

WITH TEXT OF TREATY TO PEKING BY NEXT BAG WITH COPIES

TO HONG KONG. WE WOULD DEAL WITH ANY COMMENTS ON

THE SPEAKING NOTE WHICH HONG KONG OR PEKING MAY
