I am directed by the Marquess of Lansdowne to acknowledge the receipt of your letter 35987/05 of the 16th instant respecting a conversation between the Governor of Hong Kong and the United States Secretary for War on the question of the duties on sugar imported into the Philippine Islands.

I am to point out that the statement made in the note handed by His Excellency to Mr. Secretary Taft, to the effect that Parties to the Brussels Sugar Convention are bound to penalise or prohibit sugar from countries having an excessive surtax is contrary to the view held by His Majesty's Government, and expressed in a despatch to His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Brussels of the 18th of March last, to the effect that Contracting States are only required by the Convention to apply countervailing duties.

The Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office.
