MY TELNO 373

LORD GLENARTHUR'S VISIT TO CHINA AND HONG KONG

ONE FACTOR YOU PRESUMABLY ALREADY HAVE BORNE IN MIND IS THE TIMING

OF JLG X. AS YOU KNOW, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT FIXE ANY DATES WITH THE CHINESE, OUR AIM IS TO HOLD THE MEETING IN LONDON BEFORE THE END

OF JUNE. IF MCLAREN IS TO TRAVEL WITH LORD GLENARTHUR THE TIMING

IN YOUR TELNO 85 TO PEKING WOULD RULE OUT THE SECOND HALF OF

THE MONTH. THERE MAY ALSO BE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS IN HOLDING THE

MEETING TOO EARLY.
