Extract from a letter from Mr George Martineau to Mr Pearson dated 27th May, 1904.

(2) A. Art.5 says:-

"les sucres originaires" Can China sugars refined in Hongkong be called sucres originaires de Hongkong?

B. I should say that bounty-fed sugar which have paid the countervailing duty no longer "enjoy the advantages of the convention" and therefore escape the provisions of Art.8.

But surely Hongkong will never be so foolish as to pay a countervailing duty when it can always get plenty of sugar without doing so.
