Mr. BRIDGEMAN
No formal request on behalf of the Chinese Government for the loan of British naval officers has been put forward, but in reply to informal inquiries which have been received we have replied that so long as the China Arms Embargo Agreement is in force we cannot give such assistance. We shall, however, be only too pleased to render such assistance as soon as the restrictions are removed.
