to remind them that Great Britain was the first

country to sign the new Commercial Treaty the object

of which is to secure effective protection for

British Trade Marks,

In my despatch No.46 of the 10th instant I had

the honour to report to Your Lordship the failure

of my endeavour to obtain redress for a fraudulent

imitation of a handbill of Messrs Pears and Company

Limited, although in my note to the Acting Minis-

tor for Foreign Affairs copy of which accompanied

that despatch complaining of the imitation I had

used the argument suggested by Your Lordship,

In that instance the soap itself bore no fraudulent

marks, and if it is the case, as stated by Mr

Payne, that the boxes are made and the labels

printed in Shanghai through the agency of German

firms, it would seem that Shanghai is the place

where any action ought to be taken,

I have no

knowledge of fraudulent imitations of any other

articles of British manufacture being now exported
