(Three lines at the bottom of the page are not provided in the original text, assuming they are page numbering like "Page 28")

Corrected version in HTML format as requested. Note that the original text had several OCR errors, including "actiuswledge" corrected to "acknowledge", "exeloring" to "enclosing", "beads" to "Gaols", and "hocentive" to "Executive". Also, "Honghong" was corrected to "Hong Kong". The text "برس رہے کہ không lông" appears to be unrelated to the rest of the document and was left as is, but it seems out of place and may be a result of OCR misinterpretation or text from a different document.
