Sir,

21221 Rece 677 [REG IG JUN 04]

Hongkong, 9th May, 1904.

With reference to your letter of 28th April, 1904, No. 3273/1904/C.O.D., I regret to inform you that in my letter of 28th April, 1904, No. 267, I have made a mistake and that not all the stipulations of the Brussels Convention are in force in Netherlands-India.

The Government of the Netherlands by the signature of the Brussels Convention and Protocol dated 5th March, 1902, engaged herself to prevent that bounty-fed sugars will be transported in transito over the territory of her colonies and by this way might enjoy the profits of the Convention on the market of destination.

But the Government engaged herself only on behalf of the Kingdom in Europe and not on behalf of the Colonies (i.e. Netherlands-India) to levy countervailing duties on importation of bounty-fed sugars.

The Honourable

A. M. Thomson,

Colonial Secretary,

Hongkong.

I have etc.,

(sh.) Droeze.
