Sir: -

You. I start

With reference to your letter of the 20th ultimo

enquiring whether Formosan Sugar is to be regarded as

bounty-fed, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to

state that it is owing to the wording of the British

certificate of origin that all sugar coming from

Japan is treated as ineligible for the issue of an

export certificate although only Japanese candied

sugar has been declared to be bounty-fed by the

Permanent Sugar Commission.

Sir E. Grey therefore suggests, subject to Mr.

Secretary Harcourt's concurrence, that the instruc-

tions issued to the Governor of Hong Kong might be

allowed to stand.

de Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am, Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Love mallet
