Proceeding to discuss the clauses of the Viceroy of Canton's draft agreement in their order, and omitting all present reference to the preamble, Mr. Tang Shao-Yi stated the proposals of the Chinese Government, as follows:-
Article 1. An Imperial Chinese Government Loan for £1,500,000 would be issued for which the Corporation would be asked to raise one million, the remainder of the bonds being taken firm by the Viceroy of Canton. On the bonds allotted to China, the Corporation's commission and ordinary flotation expenses would be paid but no expenses for underwriting, the 2% usually expended under this heading being credited to China.
