On the receipt of your letter 11966/1911 of May
11th last, a telegram was, as you are aware,
addressed
to His Majesty's Minister at Peking asking for his
views on the Governor of Hongkong's proposal to intro-
duce legislation providing for the control of the
Telegraphs within the Colony of Hongkong by the
Colonial Government to the exclusion of the present
Chinese Government administration. A copy of Sir J.
Jordan's telegraphic reply was communicated to you in
the letter from this Office of the 16th June last.
I am now directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to
enclose, to be laid before Mr. Secretary Harcourt, for
such observations as he may have to offer, a copy of &
despatch from Sir J. Jordan, in which the question is
gone into at length and the conclusion arrived at that
the course proposed by Sir F. Lugard is open to grave
objection.
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
