I have the honour to transmit to you, herewith, copy
of a letter which the Agent of the British and Chinese
Corporation addressed to is Prcellency Tong Choa-yi
on the 26th ultime, relative to the proposed participation
ment
of the Canton Governoc in the Canton-Kowloon Railway Loan.
Immediately after the conclusion of the Arree-
ment the Viceroy telegraphed to the Central Government
asking that £750,000 of the Bends should be reserved for
ment subscription by the Provincial fovernor, and Yr. Bland's
letter shows the arrangemente which the Corporation is
prepared to make to meet His Excellency's requirements.
Conversations
In my cene untentters with the Fai-wu Pu and
the Corporation'e Agent I have expressed myself as strongly
in favour of the Viceroy's proposal. Its adoption would,
I think, have a cocé effect in enlisting Chinese coopera-
Bir Edward Grey Bart., V. P.,
etc. etc. etc.
