SECRET
sir,

May, 1939.
➡ 8 MAY 100
I am directed by Mr. Secretary MacDonald to
transmit to you, to be laid before the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, a copy of a
& copy of a telegram
from the Governor of Hong Kong, dated the 2nd of May, regarding the suspected operation of a wireless
transmitter on board a Chinese vessel of war at present
in Hong Kong harbour.
A copy of the Governor's secret
despatch of the 23rd of April, to which the telegram
refers, was transmitted to the Admiralty by this
Department on the 6th of May, 1938.
2. As there appears to be some doubt as to the
precise status of the vessel in question, Mr. MacDonald
would be grateful for the advice of the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty as to the instructions
which should be sent to the Governor of Hong Kong
regarding the action to be taken in this case.
