Sir,
ENCLOSURE NO. 2.
38
Colonial Secretary's Office,
Hong Kong, 5th August, 1927.
I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 3rd August and to state that the
Agreement which your Company proposes to negotiate
with the Canton Seamen's Union would be, in the opinion
of this Government, both inimical to the best interests
of Hong Kong and detrimental to the Company itself.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(Sa) W. T. SOUTHORN.
Colonial Secretary.
The Acting Secretary,
The Hong Kong, Canton & Macao Steamboat Co., Ltd.
