Kang should not be allowed in the Far East.
We certainly don't want Kang in Hong Kong or Singapore. I do not send on the voluminous papers about his last stay in Singapore but you will no doubt remember that we had to have him locked up by the police and even to get him stowed away on a light-house to preserve him from assassination.
We don't want it all over again. If he is not assassinated he will probably embroil us with China. If he is, we shall probably have to hang some coolie and to wrangle with the Govt of China. We don't want another Yeung Kui Wan case.
Unfortunately we can't deal with him in the airy way which the F.O suggest as there is no law under which he could be prevented from landing in the Straits—nor probably in Hong Kong.
I am not sure as to Hong Kong because we were not told for what period he was banished in 1904 (see 14679/04). But under the Banishment Law of 1882
