The American President Line made their first attempt last Satur-- day on the departure of the Pre- sident ́ ́Coolidge for the United States. However, according to the local manager, Mr. T. B. Wilson, the baggage system they are ai- tempting to adopt will not be con- fined to Chinese passengers or to ships leaving this port homeward bound. It will apply to all passen- gers. Arst, second, tourist class, etc. and to all ships arriving at and departing from Hongkong.
It is true the American President. Line has had difficulties with cer- tain passengers attempting to land oplum in the United States. In fact, attempts of this nature have been made during the many years of the Line's history, but this is not the only reason the American Pre- sident Line's officials have decided to adopt a systematic baggage scheme.
The difficulties encountered with the racketeering baggage coolles" and the petty "cum- shaw merchants" have finally proved too annoying for "pas-

Mr. R.A. Butler, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, "replied that. the local British authorities would take such measures as were sible, but that no special instruc- tions appeared to be called for:
