THE CASSEL CONCISSION.
STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LONDON, August 5.
Mr. B. Kenyon (Co. L) asked whether the Government was aware that the Cassel concession in Kwangtung Province bad established a przetical aining monopoly. Whether it was opposed by all sections of the Chinese. Whether the American representative on the Consortium regarded the agreement as violating the Consortium conditions.
Mr. Cecil Harmsworth, the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, replied that some misunderstanding existed regarding the concession. The Syndicate was permitted to search for coal and another mineral The agreement was not monopolistic, but confers prospecting rights for coal in certain districts. It allows fifteen months for selection of the mining areas and excludes 51 mines in those districts which are already granted to other parties. The concessionaires are cot a British campany, but a Sino-British company formed on lines which have proved mutually beneficial elsewhere in China. The British firms interested include those of the highest standing in the Far East, and the agreement represents years of effort. It will relieve Chinese and foreign shipping in South China from The the serious handicap imposed by dependence on imported coal. agreement has been negotiated with the provincial authorities strictly in accordance with the Chinese Government's rule that the terms must be settled with the provincial authorities before ratification by the Central Government. There is opposition of some sort to practically every agreement made in China, but in this case there had not been any marked opposition other than that instigated for political purposes. The Minister made a formal application fo: ratifcation on October 30th last, but owing te certain difficulties the agreement was referred back for further discussion of the prints in detail with the Canioa authorities.
