R: 27 C18 i saw ar. Moore Bennett on Saturday, 23rd.
February; Mr. Fletcher was present. He produced the attached
card to the effect that he is representing Messrs. Bewick Moreing
Company and adued Messrs. Beardmore & Company. His note paper is
headed "The Anglo-Chinese Engineers' Association" and this is I
presume the powerful Syndicate which he staten desiren to start
large smelting and steel piates worka in Hongkong.
2.
He also stute that he was trying to get Dr Wu
Ting Ting to obtain coal concesion, for the Synicate, and that
although Dr Wu huu no oficial connection with the Cunton Govern-
-ment a document from nim se led by the Peking Government could
not be ignoreu in vanton. Thut in doing this he was merely
following the action of the Japmese,
3.
He said that iron existed in Kwangsi beyond Wu
Chow (I se. Iron is mentioned to the North of Tuchow on the new
ma of Chino).
4.
Finally he i.hea to know whether the Government
of Hongkon。 would grant the Syluie te lanu with a deep water
frontage for the proposed worke, and that it was essential that
such works shouïa bẹ connecteɑ by a branɑn line with the äzil-
-Way ·
5.
I confined my remarks to stating that nothing could be more valuable to Hongkong than the establishment of
smelting and steel plate works supplied with coal at a low price,
and that if an application for land for such works were made it
would be duly considered, but that in the absence of any
special reason the land and sen-bed would have to be put up to
auction.
27th. February, 1918.
