GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
HONGKONG. 6th, January, 1917.
I have the honour to transmit the enclosed
copy of a letter which I have addressed to His Britannic Majesty's
Chargé d'Affaires at Peking on the subject of restrictions placed
by the Authorities in Tonkin on the import of British goods into
Indo-China.
The letters of the 13th. and 30th. of November
from the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce show that these
restrictions are a serious prejudice to the trade of this Colony
and I would urge that such steps as may be possible be taken to
remove them.
I have sent a copy of this Despatch to His
Britannic Majesty's Consul· at Haiphong.
I have the honour to be,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
WALTER LONG, M.P.,

sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
