that from ther; and from paragraphs of ands of the preceding Report of the E.C., it may fairly be argued that what had in their cause, was not under contract whether forced emigration to the U.S. was should be permitted or not, but whether, contracts being made in U.S. and the prosperity of the Chinese in that country being assured, we might not without harm undertake the fancy of the Chinese Emigrant for a contract (which was decided in the negative).

In the whole matter the Governor had considerable reason for concluding that emigration to the U.S. was not under contract. I do not think it is sufficiently clear that it was the intention to prohibit such Emigration.

If there be no doubt of the prosperity of the Chinese Emigrants in the U. States, and of their good treatment on arrival, we may presume that Emigration, from Hongkong, not under contract, to that country is unobjectionable, so long as it is not opposed by the Chinese or U.S. Government. We could not now interfere without consulting the Colonial Government.
