We are informed tied the Tonkin Govoro mint has at lust recognised the necessity of granting concessions to the transit trade
carried on between the seaboard and the Chinese interior. It is, of course, well known in Hongkong that the development of the transit trade of the neighbouring French Colonies has baon hampered-in-the- past by the restrictions set up by the Cus- toms authorities and the high tariff they sought to impose upon goods in transit, The Committen appointed by Sir William Robinson to reply to Mr Chamberlain's enquirica regarding the [conditions under which British trade was carried on 17 Hongkong reported that the transit trade of the Colony exhibited a tendency to mercase with Japan, Sion, the Philippines, Netherlands Iulia, tn, but that the trade
with Indo-China showed a tendency to declinar This decline, the Committee
