YOUR TELEGRAM NO. 168 TO HAMILTON: ALLOCATION OF CALL SIGNS.

1. HAVING CONSIDERED CAREFULLY THE COMPROMISE SOLUTION PROPOSED IN PARA. 4 OF TUR, WE HAVE CONCLUDED THAT WE SHOULD ACCEPT IT, ALTHOUGH IT WILL INVOLVE CHANGING OVER 2,000 CALL SIGNS. WE WILL, HOWEVER, NEED TO SEEK EXCO'S ADVICE BEFORE HANDING ANY PAPERS TO THE CHINESE SIDE.

2. AS YOU CORRECTLY POINT OUT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE CHINESE SIDE WILL REJECT THE PROPOSAL IN WHICH CASE WE WOULD HAVE TO RECONSIDER.
