DESPATCH.
Special Circumstances
Tiny
Vendor is desirable. I gather from your despatch that it has not been the practice in Hongkong to call upon foreign employees to take the oath of allegiance,
And I see no reason why you should now introduce any general change in existing system. I leave it to your discretion to judge in each particular case whether there are any reasons to render it desirable that the oath should be taken by any officer of the Government of foreign extraction.
