Sir: -
You. I start
With reference to your letter of the 20th ultimo

enquiring whether Formosan Sugar is to be regarded as
bounty-fed, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to
state that it is owing to the wording of the British
certificate of origin that all sugar coming from
Japan is treated as ineligible for the issue of an
export certificate although only Japanese candied
sugar has been declared to be bounty-fed by the
Permanent Sugar Commission.
Sir E. Grey therefore suggests, subject to Mr.
Secretary Harcourt's concurrence, that the instruc-
tions issued to the Governor of Hong Kong might be
allowed to stand.
de Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
Love mallet
