DESPATCHES FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
No. 402.
CIRCULAR.
DOWNING STREET,
11th July, 1919.
SIR, With reference to my predecessors' Circular despatches of the 20th May, 1887, and 10th October, 1905, I have the honour to inform you that the Greek Govern- ment have denounced all Commercial Agreements with the British Empire. They will accordingly terminate on the 3rd March, 1920, this being twelve months from the date of the note from the Greek Minister conveying his Government's decision.
2. In giving notice of denunciation the Greek Government intimate their readiness to renew the Conventions in question tacitly for successive periods of three months, so that, failing three months' final notice being given on March 3rd, 1920, they will remain in force until June 3rd, 1920, and failing notice on this last date named, they will remain in force until September 3rd, 1920, and so forth. This proposal has been accepted by His Majesty's Government.
I have, &c.,
The Officer Administering the Government of
HONGKONG.
