I am directed by His Bzeellency the Governor te
seknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th September
relating to the winding up of the affairs of the former enery
firms in this Colony and to internment in the Colony of prison-
ers of war.
2.
Put shortly, the main positions and contentions
of the letter seem to be as follows:-
(a).
That the Hengkang Government has discouraged a
rapid winding up;
(b). That the winding up is being unduly prolonged;
(s). That the winding up of the many firas in Hong
Kong is of the some nature as the liquidation of
companies and of the estates of bankrupts and
desoaned persons;
(d). That advantage should be taken of the expulsion
and internment of the fermans to carry out a
policy of permanently banishing them from the
Colony, and that much an end could be attained by
turning all their surplus property into money and
by removing the fermen prisoners of war to
Australia.
With regard to the allegation that qelerity has
been discourapod,
an to assure you that there is no foundation
whatever
