Civil Governor, Canton, to HM.Consul-General, Canton.
Canton,
23rd November, 1914.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch of the 12th ultimo.
During the incumbency of the Tutuship by Hu Han-min
and Ch'en Chiung-ming you demanded that compensation should be given
to the Green Island Cement Company on the ground that the Provincial
Government had prohibited the export of limestone. In your letter of
September 22nd, 1913, however, you expressly stated that there was
"no necessity to go over ground previously traversed" and that “if on application being made by respectable contractors, permits to quarry are granted", your ob-ject would have been attained.
Further, I beg to inform you that in February and
October of last year I received telegraphic communications from the
Wai Chiao Pu stating that this case had formed the subject of fre-
quent discussions with the British Minister and that the latter had
undertaken not to ask for compensation. The desire of the British
Minister and yourself to act in a friendly manner was thus clearly
shown.
Since the export of limestone is now unimpeded and a
supply may be depended upon, the question of compensation no longer
exists. Your letter of September 22nd 1913, on this point was
extremely clear: when once the export of limestone was commenced the
case was closed, and there is therefore no necessity to discuss
further a means of settlement.
I have, etc.
(Seal of Civil Governor).
