With reference to Lord Milner's telegrams of
the 14th December and the 5th January, and his Confidential
despatch of the 14th January regarding the lease of the site
at Kowloon for an Oil Fuel Installation, I have the honour to
enclose copies of correspondence with the General Officer
Commanding the Troops on the subject..
If the objections raised by Major-General
Sir George Kirkpatrick are not considered fatal to the use
of the site for the purpose suggested, I should be willing
to lease it to the Asiatic Petroleum Company. The terms of
the lease would require some consideration and it would probably be best if the Company would empower a local agent
to negotiate on their behalf and submit proposals for their
acceptance.

With reference to the letter of 24th
February addressed by the Hon. the Colonial Secretary to

Colonies regarding the site for Oil Tanks at Kowloon for commercial purposes, I have the honour to forward for your
information a copy of a cipher telegram I propose to address
to the War Office.
I should be glad if Your Excellency would
favour me with any observations you may wish to be added to
the cable, in accordance with Colonial Regulation 199.
I have, &c.,

March, 1921. With reference to Colonial Office
telegram of 14th December regarding Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company's request for site at Kowloon. Proposed site objectionable as too close to approved Admiralty tanks thereby affording increased chance of successful air attack
and too close Whitfield Barracks. It seems possible to find
site more isolated, more remote from buildings, and more in
accordance with provisions of 489 M. of Oversea Defence
Committee.

In reply to Your Excellency's letter K.782
marked Secret of the 2nd March, I have the honour to inform
you that the Manager of the Asiatic Petroleum Company Mr.
W. H. Bell, has stated that the oil which it is proposed
to store on the site at Canton Road is a viscous substance
with a very high flash-point and practically non-inflammable
and I should be glad to learn whether in view of this you
adhere to your objection to the site,
I have, &C..
