7733-25-1
In continuation of my Despatch No. 156 of
3295. the 10th. May, 1917, I have the honour to transmit the enclosed
copy of a Memorandum by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs reporting the result of a reference to the District Watchmen's Committee the most influential Chinese Body in Hongkong comprising the leading Chinese Merchants and Bankers here the questions contained in enclosure 2 in Mr. Bonar Law's Circular Despatch of the 25th. of September, 1916..

Paragraph 3 of Mr. Hallifax's minute is not quite clear. The meaning intended to be conveyed is that while it is not suggested that the existing rules for the recognition in China of British subjects of Chinese race by His Majesty's Consular Officials should be modified, a wider messure of protection and help should be accorded to those who are recognised.
3.
I am glad to be able to report that British Merchants have now shown that they more fully realise the importance of the acquisition of the Chinese language by members of their European Staff, by establishing under the auspices of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce a school for the teaching of Chinese to Europerms.
