Extract from the 'Sheung Po' of the 13th April 1908.

The suppression of publication of matters concerning Japanese Boycott by the Government of Hongkong.

Yesterday we received a letter from the Registrar General stating that "as the recent publication by various papers on the Japanese Boycott in Hongkong appears to be rather exciting in nature, he (the Registrar-General) hopes that in future all papers will be very careful as to what they publish so as to avoid misleading the public".

This is the order of the Government, so we cannot but obey. In future the letters and news about the Japanese Boycott with which we are favoured will only be published after careful consideration. We hope our readers will understand our regret and recognise our sympathy even in our silence.
