7th March, 1939,

Dear Broadmead,

I have now made the follow ing additions to the

extended list of Chinese Govemment Official and Sem 1 --

official offices in Hongkong, a copy of which was enclosed

in my letter to you, 3/0 4 of the 27th February 1839:-

(30) Bank of China (Head Office)

2.

6 Des Voeux Road, C,

Bank of Canton Build ing,

First Floor.

Item (9) on the list is merely the longkang branch of the

Bank of China, and I have made a no te against that item

in my copy to see item (30). The Head Office of the

Bank of China is in chrge of P'ei Tsu-yee who, as you

know, was formerly in charge of the office in Shangha 1.

He works in a small room next to the rooms occupied by

T.V. Goong, I understand that he and Soong are concerned

principally with currency matters. His desk, when Rob

Scott and I called on him the other day, was piled with

correspondence headed in Chinese "Head Office of the Bank

of China.**

3.

(31) Foreign Trade Commis si on of the National

Goverment of the Republic of China,

(Fa Hus)

408 York Building,

Chater Road.

This Commission is a department of the Ministry of Finance

and I understand that in Chungking it is controlled by T.5.

The manager of the Commission in Hongkong is C.T.

Miao.
