but if we don't go to the Commission we had better

Gov. that he should treat Formosan sugar as

though no bounty existed - pending future con- !

demnation by the Commission of Formosan sugar,

should the question ever arise.

It is unfortunate that the Gov. has told

the Jap. Consul that the matter will be referred

to the Commission. He is singularly unfortuna te

in his dealings with Foreign representatives.

It may be that in view of par. 3 of the desp. F.O.

may consider it necessary to go to the Commis- ;

sion, and our letter to them should touch on this

aspect of the matter.

Government House

29th. December, 1910.

With reference to your despatch

No. 337 of the 18th. ultimo, I have the honour to state

that according to the records of Imports and Exports

Office some refined sugar was imported into Hongkong in

1908 from Japan and in 1910 some brown sugar, Japan having

only declared to give a bounty on "candied" sugar.

2.

No sugar has been imported into

Hongkong from Pormose and in this connection I forward for

your consideration the enclosed correspondence and I shall

be glad to learn with reference to Mr. Punatsu's letter of

the 21st. instant what views the Permanent Commission held

as to the grant by Government of the "cost of necessary

seeds and a part of the expenses for manure"

. This may

constitute a bounty especially as certain "export duties"
