Extract from letter to Sir H. de Sausmarez of 4th. May, 1912.

10 JUN 12

Re Shanghai Companies I hope to write to you very soon on the Board

of Trade's Despatch and Memorandum. But the idea of the Assistant

Registrar at Shanghai being a Hongkong Official is entirely new and

would involve a new official being appointed. This in any event will

require consideration by the Executive here and I expect at home as

there is in any case the question of cost to be considered. Do you

not think that we have arrived at a stage when our correspondence had

better be considered at the Foreign Office and Colonial Office both on

the general question and on the question of the relative jurisdiction

of the 2 Courts ?

I will ask the Secretariat to forward copies of the correspondence to

the Colonial Office perhaps you would do so to the Foreign Office.

As A. G. I am functus officio and as to any xx new point arising my

successor would have to advise this Government.

Please excuse this hastily written note but I think it expresses in

brief my view in reply to your letter of the 15th. ultimo re the Board

of Trade's despatch and memorandum.

(Sd.) W. Rees Davies.
