be recruited by the Recruiting Staff in India, and

that none will be entertained locally.

These new

rules will have effect from 1st January 1907, and the

notification will be published in the Gazette of India

and in India Army Orders; a copy is being forwarded

to His Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and

Minister Plenipotentiary in China, for notification

in that country. Although this may not actually put

a stop to the independent flow of emigrants from India

in search of police or other employment in the East,

we consider that the restrictions now imposed will

effectually check it.

Regarding the enforcement of the immediate

repatriation from China to India of natives of India

who may be unable or unwilling to be enrolled in the

Municipal Police at Shanghai or Tientsin, we consider

that, apart from the fact that the Government of India

has no jurisdiction over the areas concerned,

compulsory repatriation is undesirable, as to enforce

it against men who have emigrated to China at their

own expense,

would be to encroach, to an undue extent

on their personal liberty.
