We have had less trouble with this firm or their Hong Kong shipments. My agents are always complaining that arrangements are not made in connection with their shipments, but that the merchants have their obligations to fulfil. Those of their imports are of a higher standard than others. Their HK agent seems regularly to correspond with them in their dealings in the Colony.

Mitsui & Company Limited in relation to shipments of Tin by their Hong Kong House, and a copy of the Committee's reply thereto.

The Committee would be glad to be favoured with Mr. Secretary Bonar Law's opinion as to whether there is any foundation for the allegation contained in the last paragraph of Messrs. Mitsui's letter.
