Dear Sir.
We are in receipt of your letter of the
21st. and we beg you will tender our thanks to the Marquis
*
of Ripon for his prompt action prohibiting the erection of
Oil Tanks at Singapore without reference to the Secretary
of State on the question of the site of such tanks. We
shall feel much obliged if the Marquis of Ripon will cause
similar instructions to be sent to the Governor of Hong
Kong where an exactly similar condition of affairs prevails
1. e. to say that in consequence of representation made by
the very people who are now applying to erect tanks themselves we the pioneers of the Bulkk 011 bustness in the East were driven away from the Island of Hong Kong itself and compelled to erect our Installation upon an outlying Island but we were assured as in the case of Singapore that
facilities subsequent competitors would not be allowed
which were then refused to us.
Our business is entirely confined to British interests
whereas the Standard Oil Co. of America who are seeking to oppose are Americansubjects and their success if attained would be procured at the expense of British Shipping and
Commerce.
