Hongkong, 12th. August, 1910.
With reference to my Confidential
Despatch of the 23rd. of May, I have the honour to transmit
the enclosed copy of the report which Mr. D. Percebois
has furnished on the control of Junks and Boats, with
suggestions for the keeping of statistics of trade, to-
-gether with a precis of the recommendations made. I also
enclose a subsequent Memorandum by Mr. Percebois on the
subject of the control of Steam-launches.
2.
The report first referred to is
almost entirely devoted to a consideration of the means
of giving effect to the proposed arrangements with the
Imperial Maritime Customs, and I do not therefore propose
to comment on his recommendations at present except to say
that they go further than is proposed in the draft con-
-vention which accompanied Sir F. D. Lugard's Confidential
lov
Despatch of the 28th. of April.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF CREWE,
