I have the honour to call your attention to the
following which has been brought to my notice, and which
may be of interest to you.
The British Consul at Fameui, Formose, reports that
he has been told by a Formosan that the Formosan authorities
are in the habit of telling Formosane (Japanese subjects but of Chinese race) who are applicants for passports to British
destinations, that it is unnecessary for them to obtain a
visa from the British Consulate.
The informant further stated that he had made several
Journeys to Hong Kong during the past year, without a British
visa, and he is by no means an isolated case.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
(sgd) D.D.Gunn.
Passport Control Officer.
