GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG, 2nd September, 1926.
Sir,
I have the honour to forward the enclosed translation of a speech made by Mr. Sun Fo and published by the Man Kwok Yat Po on the 27th August. I shall be glad if you will be good enough to ascertain from the acting Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Canton Government whether Mr. Sun Fo did in fact make this speech, and at the same time point out to him that, if the report is correct, the present Canton Government is apparently completely identified with the outrageous acts and the still more outrageous aims of the Canton Strike Committee. In particular the Hong Kong Government desires to know whether it is or is not the policy of the present Canton Government to support "the Can- ton strikers" whether it is or is not the policy of the present Canton Government to inflict such injury as it can upon Hong Kong: and whether it is or is not the policy of the present Canton Government to "develop the anti-British boycott throughout China".
HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S CONSUL-GENERAL,
CANTON.
I have, &c.,
(Sd.) C. CLEMENTI,
Governor, &c.
