HONG KONG GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE

increasing the cost of the railway to China, the reply was that this was too delicate a matter for him to open his mouth on.

I conclude therefore that it will be best to hold our hand for the present and see how it goes with Sheng. We will inform the Governor of Hong-kong and the Foreign Office of the situation, that they may know we are doing our best, and point out to them that while we are aware that the present moment is a good one for raising money for enterprises in China, they must not expect that because they have at last framed a scheme for working a concession granted seven years ago, it can now be put into final shape with lightning rapidity.
