That such reports are unfounded well known here and the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce sug- gests that Government might do else- much tallay apprehension.

If Government agrees with this suggestion the Chamber of Commerce could propose to publish this letter together with Government's reply.

I am,
Sir.
