more resentment will be shown ur in the future.
As you are in charge of the whole of the con-
structional work of the line, you can only use harshness
and leniency in equal proportions, and above all you must
avoid too stringent measures.
By responsibility with regard to the construction
of the line, as Director General, is even greater than
yours, and I am consequently fully aware that no cause
for the least delay in 'ho acquisition of land should
be allowed.
Instructions have already been sent to the
Managing Director to ascertain what lands have not already
been bought and to make immediate purchase of them, and
in the meantime I am requesting the Viceroy of Canton
isque strict instructions to the local authorities to
bring the villagers to their senses and to give efficient
protection to the railway, so that further delay to the
constructional work will be avoided.
I therefore request that you will kindly act
in accordance with these instructions.
Yours faithfully,
agd.) Leung Shih Yi.
