Powers, for the general convenience, have waived this rule, and the appeal stands adjourned till April when the Commission will meet again in the ordinary course.

Meanwhile the decisions against the States and Colonies in question are in abeyance, and therefore also your difficulty as regards the Philippines. What will happen in April it is impossible to say, but meanwhile would it be possible for you with any advantage to represent the difficulty privately to the United States Consul? If only they would slightly reduce the surtax on raw sugar in the Philippines the difficulty would be got over, as it is the raw sugar you want not the refined.

Another way of getting over the difficulty would be if none of the firms that exported to French Indo China took Philippine sugar or any bounty-fed sugar; China not being a party to the Convention there is no objection to sending bounty-fed sugar there. But this would mean not putting the Act in force, and separating in some way the firms which agreed not to take bounty-fed sugar.
