An application for permission for the retention of the Jinkee Road Bureau was certainly made. Mere notification that the Bureau was there would not be sufficient. to enable it to function.
Phe acquiescence of the Consular Body and Council must be formally obtained.
If would, of course, be ridiculous to suggest that the Chinese Government has to ask anyone's permission to open offices "within its own territorial jurisdiction." But then Shanghai does not come into that The inaccuracy of the reference to the pamphlets has already been dealt with on a previous occasion. Some of these pamphlets were private property, apparently not belonging to the Bureau, Others were not.
