With reference to my Confidential Despatch
of the 3rd. September last, I have the honour to transmit for
your information the Postal Convention which has been concluded
between the Hongkong Post Office and the Postal Administration
of China, together with a statement shewing how it as concluded
differs from the draft previously forwarded to you.
2.
The principle involved by the change in
Article I (1) is that as in the case of other Administrations
that have contracted with China the Hongkong Post Office will
not maintain Branches outside Treaty Port Settlements.
3.
The Convention follows closely the lines
of that already existing between the Chinese and French Postal
Authorities.
In connection witte para the attached print (april 22. §1.).
