In accordance with His Excellency's request I have consulted some of the Chinese in whom I have confidence and who are most respected in this

Community regarding the proposed appointment of a Chinese Consul in Hong Kong. They

are, one and all,

strongly opposed to such appointment, which

they consider

would be detrimental to Chinese

interests in

they say,

Hong Kong. In necessity,

exists for such an

officer

in a Colony situated on the borders

of China, the Chinese are more securely protected than in their own

country

by the Government generally and by the Registrar General or Interpreter.
