RE: 10 8 20!
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 15th December, 1919.
My Lord,
With reference to Mr. Long's Despatch
No. 81 of the 3rd May, 1917, I have the honour to forward a copy of a letter received from the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce dealing with the system of requisitioning for Govemment supplies through the Crow Agents for the Colonies.
I would suggest that the Chamber be informed that there is no intention of abandoning the practice which has given complete satisfaction.

I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
R. E. Stubts
Governor,&c..
