Dear Ronald,
11 APR 1939
With reference to our official letter of the
7th March forwarding a copy of a telegram from the
Governor of Hong Kong regarding the payment of
compensation by the Japanese for the bombing in Hong
Kong territory on the 21st February, I enclose a copy
of a semi-official letter from the Governor explaining
the attitude observed by the Colonial Government in
connection with the assessment of the compensation.
Subject to Foreign Office concurrence we
propose to inform Northcote in reply that we fully agree
with the views which he expresses and the principle on
which the Hong Kong Government acted in assessing the
compensation to be demanded.
We are just sending to the Foreign Office a
copy of the official despatch mentioned in the last
paragraph of the letter.
N.B. RONALD, ESQ.,C.M.G.,C.V.0.
Yours sincerely,
5. Gent
