THE STEAMBOAT COMPANY'S PETITION.
TO THE EDITOR'or tas “Homakong TelegrafH.”
SIR-By your report of the last meeting of the Legislative Council I notice that Mt. Whitebead intendu to ask at the next meeting
Will the Government lay upon the table a copy of the petition, dated 11th December, 1793, to the Right Honourable the Marquis of Ripon, her Majesty'a Principal Secretary of State for the Colantes, from the Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Co., Ld, and the China Steam Navigation Co., Ld, praying for Government assistance in their efforts to supprem umuggling on board their sinsmaḥips, by causing mach amendments to be made is the Hongkong law as may be thought necessary and effectuni, &c., &c., and a copy of any reply which may have been received thereto." It has occurred to me that you might grani me space for the publica- tion of my views on the lines involved in the important question which the honourable member thereby propones to ratum.
|
That the Steambost Company should seek, by every available means, to protect itself against a repeiltion of the heavy fines Imposed on it by the Canton Customs some few years ago is only natural; and although it is not generally known, the Company has done a good deal towards that end by the establishment of a private Preventive Service under the direction of Mr. J. H. Logan, who has shown himself a zealour and clever hand at preventing the fragrant drug from being smuggled on board the Canton steamers. Owing, however, to the Company's Preventive Service having no legal status, its movements appear to have been more or lesa hampered from time to time and it is now evident that the Company is seeking to cause the Government to eliber grant protection to its officers or, in default, organlie e special Preventive Service for the sole benefit of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company.' Well and good thus far,|| but If the umeoderi Oplum Ordinance, is to be still further amended to meet the wishes of a private corporation, other interests involved there. with should, I submit, te tal en into consideration at the same time; for it should not be forgotten that Preventive Service, If a government depart. ment, should not only exert itself to prevent the lilicit report of opfam, but should zealously safe- guard the Opium Farmer's revenue by prevent- ing smuggling into Hargkeng. Upwards of $20,000 worth of the drug per mansem from Macao and Cariton has found its way into the Colony every calendar month for years past. As a matter fact it will be found (and life point which me its consideration) that there much more saltpetre and sulphur smuggled into Canton from Hongkong than opium, either pre- pared or raw. The mala issue involved in this questlos is one of revenue-the revenus of the Colony, the establishment of a Preventive Service will enhance the revenue of the Colony, then by all mesos let us have that Service forth-

In conclusion, allow me to ask you there question -
·
(a.) Do you consider the polley of the Government wise in pandering to the Chinese Government in the manner indicated above, when such action (or alleged diplomacy) results neither in reciprocal #citon on the part of the powers that be in the Great Middle Kingkom now in any improvement in the Bonncial condition of the colony?
(5.) Have the Chlosse at our request closed ep the leathsome and crime-begeting casinos at Sam-sul-po and Kowloon?
(e) Do they not turn deaf ear to our appeals for the opening up of the West River?
(d) Then why on earth should we study (as there is no doubt we have studied) the Interests of the Chinese when such action on our part results rather in generating contempt for us in the minds of so-called Chinese states- men than in the desire to meet as even heli Way?..
Surely, Sir, the time has arrived when our legislators should look the situation square in the face and practice justice to the Colony before generasity is dispensed to an ungrateful, sellah, exacting and natute neighbour whose motto seems to be—" Mas, mind thyself; the devil take the hindmost."
Yours faithfully,
