SECTION 1.
Sir,
Foreign Office to Colonial Office.
Foreign Office, November 18, 1911. 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 Japau 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 instructions issued to the Governor of Hong Kong might be allowed to stand.
I am, &c.
LOUIS MALLET.
