It appears to us, at the same time, that the governmental action in this matter will neither be complete nor al- together satisfactory if the Viceroy of Canton he not informed of the irregula- rity to which the attention of the native journaliste has already been drawn. The question therefore suggests itself whether or not the Hongkong Government should request the Viceroy of Canton to submit all such proclamations to the Colonial Secretary previous to their publication in this Colony.
