With reference to your lete 2003/1911 of the

14th. October, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey

to transmit to you herewith, for the information of the

Secretary of State for the Colonies, copies of recent

papers respecting the proposed Anglo-Japanese Convention

for the mutual protection of trade marks in China.

It will be observed that as a result of the visit

paid by Mr. Crowe, Commercial Attaché to His Majesty's

Embassy at Tokyo, to the various Chambers of Commerce

during his presence in this country, it was suggested

that the proposed counterdraft for presentation to the

Japanese Government should be altered by the addition

of certain words to Article 1 and by the omission of

Articles 3 and 4.

These suggestions have been forwarded to the

Board of Trade in the letter from this Office of June

19th.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
