CO129-358 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [10-11] — Page 275

Extract from an Article in "The Hongkong Daily

Preas" of the 26th. October, 1909.

A Britisher," writing

was

to a Shanghai contemporary, has pointed out that British

penny postage intended for the Empire, and not for British subjects resident in places out- 'side

the Empire, and be euggests that the natural remedy for the loss at

present incurred by Hongkong for postal connection with the Treaty ports is that it should either be borne by the Home Govern- ment on behalf of British subjects in those places, or be met by reverting to the 23d. or 10 cents per half-ounce postage to be paid by residents in those ports or by those posting to them.
