Telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong to the
Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Dated 15th August, 1939. Received 7.8 a.m. 15th August, 1939.
No. 225.
Your telegram No. 155. Please see reply
of the Attorney General in the Legislative Council
on the 29th June report on which was forwarded by
air mail of the 13th July. If the need for preserving
the rights of Cable and Wireless were sole motive I
would at once agree that magistrate's warrant should
first be sought but at the present juncture at any
rate it is altogether necessary that the detecting
authorities should be in position to act with secrecy
and immediacy in the interests of this Colony's
(1) safety (2) neutrality. When conditions in the
Pacific are again peaceable I will gladly consider
amending the Ordinance accordingly.
