MR ADDIS'S MEETING WITH CHANG WEN-CHIN 27 MARCH
1. You may wish to see the full record of this meeting. Mr Addis has of
course already reported the salient points very fully by telegram.
2. of the remainder of his discussion not covered in his telegrams the
main points related to the possibility of engaging in cultural
exchanges. It is encouraging to see (paragraph 15) that the Chinese are
contemplating sending their Exhibition of Cultural relics abroad. This
would create considerable interest in this country.
3.
Mr Chang's "frank" reply in the same paragraph about the possibility of
visits to China by British touring groups is disappointing but hardly
surprising. We have been advising organisers of prospective groups
precisely in these terms. Chang's remarks will usefully provide us with
a more authoritative reply to future enquiries until the situation
changes.
4.
Incidentally Mr Addia's reference (paragraph 12) to the use of metal
detectors in archeology would not be welcomed by serious archeologists
in this country, who deplore the widespread use of these machines by
amateur treasure seekers.
5. I have sent copies of the record to Cultural Exchange Department and
Research Department.

I have read this record with interest.

Mr Evans suggested to me that we should probably get echoes of the
Chinese record of this meeting. I think that if you look at the minute
which I wrote recording my conversation with Mr Pei on 7 April you will
see that the subjects which he raised Secretary of State's visit,
Chinese representation in Hong Kong must both have been on the basis of
having seen the Chinese record of Mr Addis's talk. For example, he
specifically mentioned that the representative would come from the MFA a
point which was not, I think, mentioned in Mr Addis's telegram.
