occupied by ranges and that the results arrived at by the

Conference were based on mutual concessions by the two

Departments.

Mr. Brodrick therefore feels that he must press

for the valuation of this land in common with the other

lands at Hong Kong, but in all the circumstances he is

inclined to think that the measure of the War Department

rights in this rifle range land should be taken as the

difference between the value of the land in the open

market and the value of the land as a rifle range. In

making this proposal, which is of course more favourable

to the Colonial Government than the method of valuation

originally proposed, Mr. Brodrick is actuated by the

desire to carry out the conclusions arrived at by the

Conference as closely as possible and he hopes that Mr.

Chamberlain will accept the proposal as an equitable

solution of the difficulty.

The War Department would in any case be unable

to accept any liability for providing the Navy, the Police

and the Rifle Association with a new rifle range.

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,
