Mr. Cowell has minuted on another file
with regard to these regulations as follows:-
"These Rules and Principles drawn up
under Chinese law purport to give Chinese
consular officers powers of control, arbitration,
etc., in British territory. We shall have to
watch this carefully. The precedent of the
Indian Agent is not in point; he does not purport
to enforce Indian law in Malaya, but only to
assist Indians to obtain the protection given
them by Malayan laws. We should have the observa-
tions of Legal Adviser and consider whether to
make any representations to F.C. This can be
done on suitable file".
I am not sure whether any representations
are called for, and perhaps Mr. Duncan would say
whether he considers this to be necessary on legal
grounds.
