CHINESE MAIL

THE CHINA MAIL,

(Continued from Page 1.) ·

plained that the copy was a rough one and might not be word for word Identical with the one he had sent, but it would serve the purpose of conveying his reason for, refusing Chinese malls. The letter read:

To the P.M.G-Sir.-In reply to your latter of the 12th instant, I beg to say the following:-.

"The 8. "Sanning" is not own ed by the Man On Company which is a Chinese firm at Wachow, and the agents there for the Kam King. S.8. Company. of Hong Kong, who are the ownens of the vessel.

"On making enquiries through my. purser, the Manager of the Man On Company stated that a few years: ago the then Chinese Government forced them to sign a contract to carry malla which has no stated time-limit. At the time the vessel, I think, was being operated by an- other company between Wuchow and Canton under the Chinese flag In which case they had no redress. But when the Company was re- formed and the vessel put under the British lag, in 1926, I take it that that contract was no longer valid, as I believe that a foreign firm in a foreign country has not the power

to make contracts for a British ves- sol carrying mails out of a British port, they not being the owners of the vessel. But even if this is so, and the contract is valid, then the onus of responsibility must rest on the firm or someone paid by them, and not on the master of the vessel, whom they expect gratutiously to take charge of the malls which they. | have agreed to carry, whether by force or of their own free will.

"If this is not the case, I am being forced to take the risk of | boing fined anything up to $500 for 10ss or damage for no recompense whatever. I have known cases where masters have been heavily fined, but in those cases they werd paid for what they carried...

"I have been verbally told that the big companies have agreed to carry Chinese transhipment mail free. To those wealthy companies it is a mere nothing and a fine would not hurt them, but the "Sanning" is a single ship Company and the malls are left to the Master, so in case of loss or damage, I could not expect them to pay a fine, as the big concerns undoubtedly would. abould be held responsible, and I de not think that a fair thing..
