It is of paramount importance to Hong Kong that neither the Japanese nor the French should control the Canton railway and that the negotiations for the railway from Canton to Kowloon should be quickly completed.
The delay in the negotiations for the railway from Canton to Kowloon may adversely react on the negotiations as the Viceroy at Canton is cooperating in this matter.
There are reasons which prevent H.M. Government from advancing the money, but it has been put forward that it may be in the interest of Hong Kong.
