Telegram from the Governor of Southern Nigeria to the Secretary
of State for the Colonies.
(Received, Colonial Office, 5.25 a.m. 31st December, 1910.)
I don't see how we can refuse-inaving regard to the procedents
but the Chinese are accustomed to give presents of great value, and I still think that we ought to
limit the value in any case in which we allow a present. I should approve simply in a code tel. and
that the
in a conf.ipher tel. intimate to Gov.
3. of S. that the value of the present should be
^
limited to a reasonable amount, say 250 at the out-i side. But a similar suggestion of mine on 35032/F.M.S.
was not accepted.
