TELEGRAM from the Governor of Hong Kong to the Secretary
of State for the Colonies
Dated 16th August, 1927.
(Received, Colonial Office, 12.35 p.m. 16th August, 1927).
My despatch of 14th July No.328 Chinese
Extradition (?) Ordinance I shall be glad if this can be
treated as a matter of extreme urgency. In addition to
case mentioned in paragraph 6 I have received two requests
for extradition of criminals one from Canton and one from
Amoy. At present deportation is only course open and that
leaves destination to fugitive's choice. I fear Colony
will become the target for justifiable Obloquy if it
fails to help Chinese authorities in these cases. In
print of bill which accompanied my despatch of 14th July
word Government should be inserted at the end of line 7
of section 2 (a) between words "the" and "actually".
