reference to the system I had introduced in Northern Nigeria a country not dissimilar in its conditions and area from this point of view to the Kwangtung Province, and I added that we raised a tax from the Leased Territories three times as great as that which socrued to China without the slightest friction
in a period of 3 weeks or a month. The occasion was I think
unique, for I have never before heard of a Chinese Viceroy frankly exposing his difficulties to a British Administrator
and seeking his disinterested advice and help. I welcomed it
as an opportunity of perhaps sowing some useful seed which might
at some distant time bear fruit, and in any case as tending to
promote a genuine good feeling between high Chinese Officials
and the British. I am under the impression that I verbally informed Mr. Jamieson (with whom my relations have always been
cordial) of the gist of the conversation. I certainly took
the opportunity when I rejoined him after the interview of
explaining to him that my conversation with the Viceroy had been
entirely of a private and informal character unconnected with
Hongkong.
8. In fulfilment of His Excellency's pledge Taotai Wei
Han and Captain Wu Kwang Tsung visited me in Hongkong on April
21st., and the Acting Captain Superintendent of Police and
Mr. Clementi (Colonial Secretary) were present. I made a
number of suggestions for co-operation in the detection of
criminals with a view to reciprocal action between the Police
of Canton and Hongkong and said that I hoped that the process
of extradition might be somewhat cheapened to admit of its fraer
application. Mr. Wei Han then asked two question relative to
procedure in extradition cases. One was covered by the
Ordinance and this was explained in a note. To the other
--(that Chinese Officials should be allowed to sit on the bench
at the trial)- I reserved my reply.
