DRAFT.
FURTHER ACTION.
It was agreed that these points might be
left over for discussion later. In
Hong Kong it was decided that the draft
of an agreement elaborated between
1910 and 1918 and agreed upon but never
ratified (the "Harris" draft) would form
a suitable basis of discussion. The
points may be summarized as follows:-
On the one side, Hong Kong would be
prepared to agree to
(1)
enlargement of the Chinese
Maritime Customs staff to
co-operate with the Colonial
Administration and to share
in the control of the movement
of goods at the Kowloon
terminus of the Kowloon-Canton
railway and of the junk
anchorage in Colonial waters;
(2) joint control of the salt
(3)
exports in order to check the
smuggling of salt into China;
co-operation in the preparation
of reliable trade statistics;
(4) joint control of explosives,
munitions, live stock and
other cargoes.
