Government House,

Hongkong, 11th. December, 1911.

I have the honour to request that you will inform the Tu Tu from myself that I observe with regret a very great increase of rowdiness in this Colony and of a novel kind, namely attacks on the Police and insults to Europeens since the establishment of the new Government in Canton; that I attribute this state of affairs to an influx of bad characters, for no such spirit has before been manifest- -ed there is no grievance of which I am aware; that this Government has been ready and anxious to co-operate with the new Government in all matters of executive action and in the promotion of trade revival etc., and that I shall therefore be grateful to the Canton Government

what

if it will take steps may be in its power to prevent the influx of bad characters from the mainland and to promote and maintain the friend -ly feeling which has always hitherto existed.

I have etc.,

(Sd.) F. D. Lugard,

His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General,

Canton.

Governor,&c..
