another point suggested
By Mr Mc Reavy Brown's letter is whether

launchers licensed by this Government
should
by Englishmen in this colony
obtain the permission of the Commission
of Customs before leaving or entering the harbour of Hongkong under threat of
confiscation if found without such permission
in what are said to be Chinese waters.
