Marginal document pronouncement

Opening to enlarge for the navigation of but that in Treaty inland the West River the ratified this important stipulation has not been included.

It is not of the moment necessary to discuss the motives for the withdrawal, but still it has been pressed upon the notice of the British Authorities, but at this period has the opportunity of doing so with effect equal to that of the present.

The Chamber of Commerce also desired to bring to the Government's notice the feeling of the Chamber that the opening of the river is of great importance to the Colony and also to the atmosphere of British trade.

A subject of navigation that has for many years, from time to time, been pressed upon the notice of the Government is the question of preferential duties accorded to goods for native vessels by Chinese Authorities, and the importance of freeing the Colony from this differential duty which places foreign-owned steamers under manifest disadvantage.

I have the honor to remain,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most Obedient Servant
