the Canton-Kowloon and the Canton-Hankow Railways in the interest of their own lines. He had made the necessary arrango-

-ments for the construction of the junction line during his visit to Canton in the spring, and negotiations were already proceeding for the purchase of the necessary land, but as they involved the removal of thousands of graves in the suburbs of the city, they required delicate handling and might take some time, but I might rest assured that the connection would be built. In view of this assurance, it appears to me unnecessary

at all exents for the present, to raise the question of the

obligation of the Chinese Government to link up the two railways

which was referred to in your despatch No. 199 of June 7 (19244/10).

In regard to the question of joint manage-

-ment Mr. Liang's replies were not so satisfactory. In fact he

gave me to understand that the objections of the Chinese

Government to the adoption of such a system were insurmountable.

He did not appear to attach any importance to the financial

advantages likely to accrue tothe Chinese section from it, but

expressed four as to the complications that might ensue from an

al internation-Board and the constant references to the two

Governments of any points on which the votes of the Board were

Chinese equally divided. He made it quite clear that the Government

have no intention of unnecessarily tying their hands in regard

to the administration of their section of the Canton-Kowloon

railway. I pointed out the immense advantages that would accrue

to the future trunk line from Hankow in having access to such a

port as Hongkong. His Excellency admitted the force of my

argument, but replied that it cut both ways, adding that he

would instruct his representative in Hongkong to negotiate in a

most conciliatory spirit, but only on the basis of through

running powers.

I must confess that neither the wording of

the Loan Agreement nor the minutes of the discussions between Tong Shao-yi, the nowly appointed President of the Board of

Communications,
