A 11337 RECP Red 28 MAY 36 81
Count Arnim (Conservative) pointed out the different attitude of the English to the Germans on Colonial questions. The last speaker would like to put up the German Colonies to auction. In conclusion, he asked the Foreign Secretary for information as to the Hong Kong incident.
Baron v Marschall said that he had only received a short telegraphic report from the German Consul from which it appeared that the Captain and Ship's Doctor of a German Steamer had landed on an island in the harbour on which it was forbidden to set foot. They had been condemned, one to three and the other, who had a Kodak, to 4 months imprisonment.
The Consul had interceded and a second trial had taken place in which the punishments had been commuted to a fine of 100 dollars. The Consul's written report must be received before the Foreign Office could give a definite opinion.

Count Arnim ( Conservative ) pointed out the different attitude of the English to the Germans on Colonial questions. The last speaker would like to put up the German Colonias to auction. In conclusion he asked the Foreign Secretary
for information as to the Hong Kong incident.
Baron v Marschall said that he had only received
a short telegraphic report from the German Consul from which it appeared that the Captain and Ship's Doctor of a German Steamer had landed on an island in the harbour on which it
was forbidden to set foot. They had been condemned, one to
three and the other, who had a Kodao, to 4 months imprison-
-ment.
The Consul had interceded and a second trial had
taken place in which the punishments had been commuted to a fine of 100 dollars. The Consul's written report must be received before the Foreign Office could give a definite
