Enclosure 2.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong, 16th.September, 1909.

In reply to your letter of the

12th. instant, I am directed to refer you to my letter

No. 2938/09 of the 13th. instant and to inform you that

the omission of all mention of Consular Officers in the

regulations to which you refer was intentional. These

regulations were redrafted under instructions from His

Majesty's Government who hold the view that the only

legitimate functions of a Foreign Consul in relation to

a Colonial Administration are those connected with the

welfare of his nationals as individuals, in which category

such application as are the subject of the regulations do

not fall.

The Consul for France.

I have etc.,

(sd.) A. M. Thonson,

Colonial Secretary.
