The Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. (Received, Colonial Office, 11.10 a.m. 31st May, 1907)
I have received information that Shum Chun has been appointed Viceroy of Canton. He has shown such antagonism to British interests and independence of the Taiwupu that British interests in South China and Hong Kong must suffer by his return. I would urge His Majesty's Government to protest against the appointment.
