HONGKONG.
20th April, 1926.
I have the honour to address you with regard
to an application for naturalisation by Mr. Li Yau-taứn who
was born in the Nam-hoi District of the Province of Kwong-
tung in China on 23rd June, 1862.
Mr. Li has, apart from occasional short
visits to Canton, resided continuously in the Colony for
the last 48 years, and during that period has rendered
conspicuous service as a member of the numerous Chinese
Committees and Boards which play such a vital part in the administration of the Colony. A list of the most important of these is enclosed. Mr. Li has, moreover, very large
commercial interests in the Colony, and is at the moment
Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

On the outbreak of the crisis in June last
year, Mr. Li immediately placed his whole services at the
disposal of the Government, and regardless of insults and
threats has never wavered in his determination to combat
to the uttermost the machinations of Canton.
He even +
despite his years and poor physique, insisted on taking his
turn of night duty with the Special Guarda instituted to
meet the menace of bomb-throwing and arson. He was also
the
LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P..
