September 20, 1911.

Sir:-

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit,

herewith, to be laid before the Secretary of State for the

Colonies, a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Minister

at Peking relative to the suggestion of the Governor of

Hongkong that the carriage of mail matter between Hongkong

and Canton should be entrusted to the Kowloon-Canton

Railway.

Pending the receipt of any further observations which

Sir F. Ingard may have to make on the considerations set

forth in the despatch frol. His hajesty's Consul General at

Canton to His Excellency of August 16th last, Sir E. Grey is

inclined to concur in hr. Jamieson's view that the sugestior:

is inadvisable in so far as the mails for the non-Chinese

mercantile community at Canton are concerned.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

huble Servant,

Falabed
