No. 3301/10 - 11 transmitting copy of a despatch from

the Governor of Hong Kong relative to the importation

of Formosan sugar into that Colony.

I am to state that Sir E. Grey does not propose

to bring the question of the existence of a bounty on

the production of sugar in Formosa before the Inter-

national Sugar Commission at Brussels and that, pending

condemnation by that body, Formosan sugar (with the

exception of candied sugar) may be treated by the

Government of Hong Kong as free from bounties. In

these circumstances it is regrettable that the Governor

of Hong Kong should have informed the Japanese Consul

that the question would be referred to the Sugar Com-

mission. This is a matter for His Majesty's Govern-

ment

he Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
