HONGKONG, 23rd. August, 1912.

With reference to your Circular Despatch of the
oth. July and to previous correspondence on the subject of the
establishment of an Honorary Correspondent of the Commercial
Intelligence Branch in this Colony, I have the honour to enquire
whether you would have any objection to tuis Gover:Lent`nominating
the Secretary of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce to be
the correspondent and paying him a reasonable honorarium of say
$300 a year or a little more if that sum is not acceptable.
In the absence of a Customs House it is extreme-
-ly difficult for any Goverment Official to gain information con-
-cerning general questions of import and export trade. Experience
shows that the Honorary Correspondent here has relied in the past
to a great extent on the information supplied to him by the
Secretary of the Hongtong General Cha ber of Commerce to enable him.
to deal with ais correspondence as Agent for the Board of Trude Commercial Intelligence Branch. The recent compilation of the list of importers, exporters and Leufacturers in the Colony, whid is
likely to be of considerable value, is an example of how much
better qualified the Secretary of the Hongkong General Chamber of
Commerce is then the Harbour Lester for commercial work. The
assistance of the Secretary of the Hongkong General Chamber of
Commerce
