Shipowners and all Representatives of British
commercial interests generally, fails in
effectively dealing with the difficult question
of Piracy Prevention.
Hitherto efforts have been largely
confined to preventative measures on board
the vessels plying in the Southern Delta of
China, but as the result of experience the
Board of Directors consider that the subject
demands wider action if suppression of outrages,
which are so detrimental to British trade and
British prestige and constitute such a danger
to British lives, is to be accomplished.
In giving expression to these views
it is recognised that the difficulties con-
fronting the Hongkong Goverment are very great,
but it is hoped that an opportunity may be given
for a full discussion as outlined in the Minority
Report of the Special Committee of the Chamber
of CommerÃO.
