No. 9.
TELEGRAM FROM GOVERNOR TO SECRETARY OF STATE.
5th September, 1922.
Your telegram of August. Bill has been prepared but meets with strong opposi- tion from representatives of Chinese Community. I propose to inform them that the bill must be passed to come into force in 1st January, 1923. The alternative course is to read the bill a first and second time to give the members of Council an opportunity of giving expression to their views and then to defer passing of bill pending reference to you with any petition they may wish to send. I prefer the former course.
