My Lord,
Prior to proceeding on furlough, I have the
honour to place on record the present position with
regard to the dispute between the Government of
Katso and that of Kuangtung in connection with a pro-
jected acliese for the improvement of the harbour at
dacao and of the approaches thereto.
After the Colonial Authorities had suspended
operations and had entered on upurnarlora with the
epresentative of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs
of the military Govor, mt, it was agreed to appoint
delegates on both sidea to discuss what steps should
be taken permanently to dispose of causes of friction
between the two Governments.
The principal points were: the immediate estab-
lishment of a Delimitation Conmission in tema of the
Treaty of 1887; a revision of the procedure dth rc-
gard to extradition; a remov:1 of the port restric-
tions imposed on cainese national vessels in the har-
bour of : acão; ■ recognition of the right of the
acao Goverment to undertake, without interference
on the part of their neigbour, a scheme of uurvour
improvement within territorial limits, with regard to
mich there could from a non-chineze point of view,
be no contention.
