reference to H.M.G.

The result may not be in the interests of Hong Kong alone and will be consulted without reference to interests affecting Hong Kong.

The general policy towards China is unsatisfactory. The interests of Hong Kong are not necessarily identical with those of the Empire as a whole.

H.M.G. must decide in each case what action should be taken, and how far the Governor should be consulted.

No. 19350 16th June 1909 Last Previous Paper.

It is possible to comply with the request without detriment to our interests.

I have telegraphed to the Colonial Office to recompute the views of the Government of Hong Kong with regard to the form of the despatch.

I have to state that I concur with the views expressed in your despatch.
