I don't thing we need differ from Sir H. May in
his proposal to treat Chinese lunatics who are
british subjects
cts on a different footing and keep
them in the Colony. There can't be many of then,
and the accommodation is no doubt suâficient.
Moreover we wish to mare a distinction between
lunatics for which the Chinese Govt. have a lia-
bility and those for whom ( in our opinion, at
any rate) they have not, since we hold them to
be British subjects. I would therefore agree on
this point.
On the other hand, I don't see why we should
commit ourselves indefinitely to making an annual
contribution for alien Chinese lunatics, when
the Chinese Govt. admits its liability for them,
and may hereafter make suitable arrangements to
meet their liabilities. The H.K. Govt. should
therefore reconsider the matter in a few years'
339
time, with a view to inviting the Chinese Govt. to
carry out their responsibilities.
