propose, and if a reasonable certainty could be seen

that those countries would give full effect to such &

policy it is possible the stops proposed might be taken

without much danger; but I cannot see that China and

Japan could ever be relied upon to carry such & policy

into real effect.

13. I will not venture to suggest what measurOB

should be taken at the conclusion of, or after the

war, to guard British commerce from the insidious

methods of German commerce or to demonstrate to the

Germana, or punish them for, their wanton atrocities

in the conduct of the war. I leave the consideration

of such measures, with the fullest confidenco, to

the Imperial Council. I am only anxious that the

peculiar situation of this Colony in its relation

to china should have full consideration when such

measures are under discussion.

It is, in my view, of paramount importance

in the interests of the Colony that the Imperial Government should, by all means and influence at its

command, prevent the establishment of a port by China at Whampo&, and that whether she is moved

to do so by German influence, or by the influence

of other nations, or even at her own desire and

the interests of the Oolony demand that, both during the peace negotiations and the consideration of trade after the war the danger of steps or projecte which will make for the establishment of such a port should

be kept firmly in mind.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your obedient Servant,

To the Right Hon. Walter Long,

Alhater

His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Volonies.
