obliged for any observations or suggestions
which the Commissioners may be good enough
to offer on these papers, & Regulations
and to the law than he would observe that Regulation 5 appears to require
some amendment to meet cases such as that of
Japan where candied sugar is bounty-fed but
raw sugar is not. As the Regulation now
stands, Hongkong would apparently be obliged
to exclude Japanese raw sugar, which receives
no bounty.
Mr.Lyttelton notices further that
glucose is not mentioned in Regulation 8
enclosure 1, and he would propose to suggest
to the Governor that the word "glucose"
should be inserted between "include" and
"molasses".
With regard to sugar in transit,
Mr.Lyttelton would propose to allow the
Governor discretion to amend the Regulations
so as to provide for bounty-fed sugar passing
through the Colony under proper safeguards
whenever the necessary arrangements can be
made.
