No. 559/1910.
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Hongkong,
19th August, 1916.
Sir,
I am directed to forward for your consideration
a revised draft of the proposed Anglo-Chinese Customs agree-
ment.
2.
There are in this draft a number of alterations
which are mainly grammatical: apart from these the following
amendments have been made:-
(a) Article I. Subsections (e) (f) (g) (h) put in fuller
detail the purport of the similar sections in the
former draft.
(b) Article II has been revised with a similar purpose.
The reference to sulphur and saltpetre has been
transferred to Article III.
(c) A final paragraph has been added to Article II on the
lines of a suggestion made by Mr. Harris on the 25th July.
(d) Article V. Subsection (a) has already been agreed
upon. Certain changes have been made in other parts of the Article in order to make the meaning more clear (e) The last paragraph of Article VII is omitted, as it is not required for purposes of the agreement. (f) In Article VIII reference is made to Articles V and
VI instead of to Article V only; in the interests of
the Chinese Customs.
A. H. Harris, Esq.,
Commissioner of Customs,
Kowloon & District.
