R 27 NOV 09
Government House,
Hongkong, 28th.October, 1909.
I have the honour to acknowledge
receipt of your Despatch Confidential of September 23rd.,
1909, relative to the conduct of the Postal Agencies in
China with its enclosures.
2.
Your Lordship's proposal (contain-
-ed in the telegram of the 3rd. September, 1909) that this
Government should continue to carry on these Postal Agenci-
-es for one year more on condition that His Majesty's
Government guarantee half the nett loss incurred, and that
the local communities be "required" to contribute towerds
the remaining loss was accepted by me, in the necessity of
arriving at some conclusion in order to complete the
Annual Estimates which had already been delayed and be-
-cause it would not have been fair either to the communiti-
-es concerned or to the postal employés to have closed the
Agencies at such short notice. But I would remind Your
RIGHT HONOURABLE
Lordship
(1380). Wt.20,924-26, 6000. 11/08. A.&E.W. (15,813).
18,012-27. 6000. 10/09,
THE EARL OF CREWE,
90...
