Government as negotiator for the Working Agreement. He is a man of broad views who has resided in London and Paris and speaks both French and English. He is thoroughly conversant with the negotiations and it was because he considered our proposals fair and acceptable that he resigned his position when His Excellency Liang Shi Yi declined to accept them. The Viceroy of Canton is entirely excluded from any participation in these negotiations, and I had suggested that if His Excellency shared Mr. Wei Han's view (as I understood he did) it might be of use if he so informed the Peking Authorities. I now referred to this matter

and asked if he had done so.

We also briefly alluded to the continued coinage of 20 cent pieces and I warned Mr. Wei Han in a friendly way that if the Canton Mint continued to turn out these coins in great quantities it seemed probable that the Provincial Govern- -ment would find itself in considerable difficulty when the new Currency reform scheme came into operation. I told him of a prosecution which was at the time proceeding against a Chinese Newspaper for publishing articles calculated to cause tumult in China, as a proof of the bona fides of this Government in its desire to assist the Chinese Government. In my Despatch 150 of 22nd. April, 1911, I reported these matters fully to the Secretary of State and enclosed a précis of the interview I have

described.

At the close of the interview Mr. Wei Han asked if he might be supplied with a note of the points we had discussed, and it was in these circumstances that Mr. Clementi's letter of April 21st. was written. It was handed to Mr. Wei Han and not sent through the post, and it formed an enclosure to my further Despatch 204 of 22nd. May, 1911, to the Secretary of State of which a copy was transmitted to Your Excellency.
