BESITIIV.M.A.I (5P)

• VIAJE7962

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of

your letter of the 5th. instant urging that a Proclamation

should be issued by the Governor to allay uneasiness among

the native population in regard to the policy of the

Government in connection with the boycott of dealers in

Japanese goods.

2.

In reply I am to state that His Excellency

has already taken steps to make known the policy of the

Government not only by verbal explanations to the Chinese

Members of Council and to the District Watchmen's Committee, which is a very representative one, but by the publication in all the Chinese newspapers in the Colony of the communi-

qu copy of which is enclosed.

26,

3. In reply to a Petition presented on behalf

of two of the persons who have been banished and to en- quiries made concerning others who are at Canton replies have been sent to the effect that if they will pulish repudiations of their connection with the boycott, which as you are aware led to serious breaches of the peace and destruction of life and property, the cancellation of the banishment orders issued against them will be favourably

considered.

I am to add that it is anticipated that these measures will have the effect desired by your Chan- -ber but that if this anticipation should not be realised His Excellency will consider the question of issuing a

Proclamation.

.Someb

The Secretary,

Hongkong Chamber of Commerce.
