[Received December 7—10:28 a.m.]
437. My 428, December 2, 6 p.m. Text of British protest November 30th furnished its purport following quoted for your information:
“The Chinese Government have thus not only deliberately and after due warning insisted on infringing two agreements with British companies but they have also been guilty of a breach of faith towards His Majesty’s Government in consummating the agreement with the Federal Company without waiting for the issue of the discussions between the State Department and the British Embassy at Washington.”
In connection with second accusation, see 1452, August 3rd.74 Protest also asserts students trained by Marconi transferred Federal works although needed on Marconi installations in China.
