No. 1.

Sir Edward Grey to Sir J. Jordan.

Foreign Office, July 7, 1908.

I HAVE received your despatch No.205 of the 11th May last on the subject of the levy of li-kin on the Shanghai-Nanking Railway.

I have to express to you my satisfaction at the result of your representations as to the charges on foreign imports.

I observe that the Wai-wu Pu state that the conditions under which rail-borne and water-borne goods are transported are not the same, but they do not specify wherein the difference lies. I shall be glad to learn how this question stands.

I am, &c. (Signed) E. GREY.
