GEN.
Con.
Of
Jugitive from China
and taking refuge in Hongkong
in order
to make extradition
applicable it follows that under the
existing rules the former,
as well as
allegedly, the "Crime"
must be a
Crime
against Chinese Law.
When therefore
a
Chinese
accused of
Crimes which in
Europe would be
described
as
"Political
Offences", the only
question
that would appear
to arise
is whether the
particular offence
in its circumstances
is
an infraction
of the Municipal Law and this
of course it is.
