to which a reply has come from Hr, Douglass that Reiss, Hongkong, are consulting with London. It is really heart-breaking to face this loss

of time and money, and the risk to lose the business altogether, in ne- gotiating with people ao regardless of the obvious consequences, What- ever must the Texas Company think of British methods of business! Once more the matter is referred to London and so we are all the time turning in a cirole. And, worst of all, H.E. the Governor is made the unconscious supporter of all this thoroughly un-British procedure.

Mr. Douglass adds to this answering cable of his:

"If cannot arrange with Heiss recommend own organization, ex- pense staff office Hong Kong fifteen hundred mexican (dollars) Canton one thousand monthly, compradore half percent, other (expenses) same au joint account." (1.0. expenses as now).

and thus one link after the other, connecting this business with British intereats, is wilfully broken - a business built up by six years hard work } I quite realise the impossibility for the Government to inter- vene between my Company and Reiss, as you were good enough to cable me | and yet, I was in hopes that Kesura. Reisa in London could somehow be given a hint about the oumulative effect of their doings, disastrous for all concerned and for British prestige in general,

It is in fact because of this canulative wrong-doing of Kesurs, Reiss that my counsel repeats his strong opinion that with people of this "might-before-right" attitude there is only one way of dealing.

Thin

is no further agreements and entanglements with them, at least not during the war, which I cabled you, seeing that you are probably aware that Messrs. Keise have made us - new at last and after breaking our agreement
