Government House,

Hongkong, 5th June, 1916.

303

I have the honour to inform you that Mr. C.W. Mark, Manager of the Chinese Telegraph Administration, whose office in this Colony is permitted by this Government to be located in the offices of the Eastern Extension Companies

Offices has informed this Government that he has been

ordered by the Tutuh of Kwangtung to transfer to a post in Canton and to hand over his present post to one Ip Hui-fung.

The Chinese Telegraph Administration is a Department of the Central Government and the Hongkong Government does not recognise the authority of any Provincia

Government to interfere with the Chinese Telegraph Administration which has certain obligations towards the

Colonial Government.

2.

Moreover since the outbreak of the war in

Europe the Colonial Government has been obliged to assume

the control of all the Telegraph Offices in the Colony and it cannot permit any change in the Staff of the Chinese Telegraph Office which has not its sanction.

3.

In these circumstances I have to ask that

you will inform the Military Governor of Kwangtung that this Government regrets that it camot permit Mr. Mark to vacate his post.

I have sent a copy of this letter to His

Majesty's Minister at Peking.
