1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled
An Ordinance to prohibit former Enemy Aliens from being within
the
Colony without a permit,
307
And I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the
Governor's Instructions.
2. The object of this Ordinance, which is based on instructiona
received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, is to pro-
hibit any former enemy alien from coming and being within the Colony
of Hongkong without a permit from the Government, issued by the
Colonial Secretary.
3.
The definition of "former enemy alien" is in accordance with
the above instructions and has been specially drawn so as to exclude
Bubjects of new friendly states from such definition.
