(printed on pagos 132 - 4 of the Confidential Colonial Offica paper Eastern No. 88 of April, 1907.) was handed by Mr. Rons to
Taotai Wen both in the original English and in a Chinese trans-
-lation. We added that, when the Loan Agreemont was negotiated,
the intention of the British and Chinese Corporation and of the
Chinese government in using the words "joint-working of the
two meation" was clearly that the joint line should be worked
on the principles embodied in this Memorandum and that the Loan
was made on this understanding. This, we said, was also the
view taken by the Hongkong Government, it was a position from
which we declined to rocodo.
Mr. Woi Han remembered the meeting of the
18th. December, 1905, and said that he also had been present at
it. To refresh his memory we handed him a copy of the English
text as printed.
With regard to the connection with Hankow,
Hr. Wel said that the Board had raised no objection. In this
connection we handed him a copy of the Preliminary Agreement of
the 28th. March, 1899, (printed as an Appendix to Eastern No.
88.
To thon gavo Hr. Wel two copios of the draft
Working Agrooment as proparod by the Hongkong Govern ent and
read is through with him, explaining it clause by clause.
Mr. Woi said that he personally had no
objection to the principles involved and that he would communi
-cate the draft Working Agreement to the Board at Peking: but he
expressod the hope that we would support him by requesting by
tel gram the British Minister at Peking to urge our views upon
the Board.
