Ikra 26 DEC !!

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 23rd. November, 1911.

In continuation of my Confidential Despatch

37662

of the 16th. of last October, and with reference to Sir F. A.

7.3.343 Campbell's latter No. 34257/11 of the 16th. of last September, I

have the honour to suggest for your consideration that the offer of the proposed commission should be preceded by a protest against the new Chinese Nationality Law as impracticable. I am, of

course, aware that during the present crisis in China negotia- -tions on this subject will inevitably be suspended, but I make the suggestion now in order that it may not be lost sight of when

the negotiations are resumed.

I have the honour to be,

sir.

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Mangany

Governor,&c..
