Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received March 21.)
(No. 54.) Sir,
Peking, February 1, 1908.
WITH reference to my despatch No. 13 of the 7th ultimo, I have the honour to forward to you herewith copy of a further despatch, and its inclosures, which I have addressed to His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokio on the subject of the imitation and use in China by Japanese of British and foreign trade-marks. The samples are not inclosed.
I take the opportunity of forwarding to you at the same time copy of a recent letter from the Commissioner of Customs at Shanghae to the Senior Consul in reply to an inquiry from the Consular Body as to the effect of "provisional registration" of trade-marks in Shanghae with regard to the rest of China.
I have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.

Inclosure I in No. 1.
Sir J. Jordan to Sir C. MacDonald.
Peking, February 1, 1908.
IN continuation of my despatch of the 6th ultimo, on the subject of Japanese infringements of British and other trade-marks in China, I have the honour to forward to your Excellency copy of a letter addressed to the Acting Commercial Attaché by the agent of the American Trading Company at Shanghae, transmitting some samples of Japanese imitations of foreign soaps and tooth-powders with their originals. The letter from the Company is explanatory of the samples and of the methods employed by the Japanese in introducing the imitations into the interior of China. The specimen imitations of toilet soap and tooth-powder manufactured by the firm of J. G. Mouson and Co. would appear to be the same as those mentioned in despatch No. 89 of the 11th November from His Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow, copy of which was forwarded to your Excellency in my despatch of the 9th December.
I also have the honour to forward copy of a despatch from Sir Alexander Hosie,* transmitting two bottles of glycerine-one a British production, the other a Japanese imitation of the same. Sir Alexander Hosie has also furnished me with a sample of Japanese drilling bearing Sir Elkanah Armitage and Sons' well-known "Crocodile mark, together with a sample of the original. These I am also forwarding to your Excellency with copy of the covering semi-official letter.*
I have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.
