Colonel Se etary's Office,

Hongkong, 22nd September, 1914.

Gentlemen,

With reference to your letter of the 21st of July

and to previous correspondence on the subject of the export of limestone from the Kwangtung Province for the use of your factory,

and particularly to that part of the correspondence concerning

your claim against the Chinese Government for the embargo placed upon the export of the stone by the Provincial Government

established by the Revolution of 1911, I am directed to inform you

that the Governor is in receipt of a letter from H.B.M.Consul-

General at Canton covering copy of a despatch from H.B.M.Minister

at Peking in which Sir John Jordan emphasizes the difficulty in

holding the Central Government responsible for the action of

Revolutionary Authorities ever whom they were not in a position

to exercise control, and the hopelessness of pressing a heavy pecu- niary claim on a Government which even if it admitted its liability has no funds with which to meet the claim and in view of the state of war now prevailing in Europe has little hope of

obtaining financial relief from that quarter in the near future. Sir John Jordan goes on to point out that in the present state of

the finances of Kwangtung there is even less prospect of obtaining pecuniary satisfaction and he is, therefore, led to suggest that your Company may be willing in view of the unrestricted resumption of the export of stone to waive their claim for pecuniary compensa. tion for losses consequent on the interdiction of export and to accept instead some grant of further facilities tem-porary exempt- ion from taration or other advantages if the Provincial Authorit- ies can be induced to arrive at a settlement on such lines.

The Governor has in the past used his best endeavours to press the claim of your Company, but he is constrained to remark lessrs. Shewan Tomes & Co.

General Managers,

Green Island Cement Co.,Ltd.
