CHINA TRADE,

SECTION 3.

JAFEE 08!

Sir,

Board of Trade to Foreign Office,-(Received January 15.)

WITH reference to your communication of the 25th November, 1907, transmitting a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Minister at Peking, in which is inclosed a translation of Prince Ching's note on the subject of the Trade-Marks Regulations, I am directed by the Board of Trade to state, for the information of Sir E. Grey, that, in their opinion, no further steps in the matter should be taken until an arrangement has been come to with the Japanese Government for the mutual protection of trade-marks in China.

When negotiations are resumed, the Board consider that the basis for such negotiations should be the draft prepared by the Powers in consultation and submitted to the Chinese Government in April 1905, as the draft prepared by the Chinese authorities cannot be regarded as satisfactory.

I am to add that one of the points to which the Board attach great importance is that applications made before that date when the Regulations eventually come into force should have no priority and no advantage over those made after the Regulations have come into force.

I am, &c.

(Signed)

T. W. P. BLOMEFIELD.
