Mr. Aeland (Cornwall, Camborne, Min.), who replied, said According to the information of his Majesty's Govern ment, the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, the concession embrac ing the province of Shensi and the districts of Chien-chang in Chibli. So far as his Majesty's Government are aware the concession does not affect the province of Szechuan. With regard to the third question, his Majesty's Legation during the last 11 years have taken every opportunity, and will continue to do so, of impressing upon the Chinese authori fies the necessity, in the interests of China herself of developing the minera! resources of the country accordance with the provisions of the Mackay Treaty With regard to the fourth and afth questions, his Majesty's Government have no knowledge of concessions having been granted except to the Standard Oil Company as already mentioned.
