GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 30th. October, 1916.
You
With reference to my Despatch No. 365 of the
21st. September and previous correspondence relating to sheltering cargo, I have the honour to enclose copies of certain correspondence which I have had with His Majesty's Consul-General at Shanghai about a consignment ex S. 8. *Scandia* which the Chartered Bank obtained possession of and forwarded to Shanghai on a Dutch steamer.
While not wishing to criticise the action of
the Consul-General, I would point out that if such transactions are frequent it appears that firms and banks at Shanghai are being placed at a considerable advantage over firms and banks in this Colony.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
ANDRE BONAR LAW, M.P.,
