The General Officer Commanding urges very strongly that

Germans and Austrians deported from Hongkong be prevented

from taking up residence on Shameen Canton; that Germans

and Austrians now resident there especially Consuls be

expelled; and that those of them who are liable for

military service be interned in Hongkong. His view is that

there is great difficulty in stopping leakage from this

Colony as long as enemy residents are as close as Canton

with Chinese and Portuguese employees formerly in their pay

still here. He contends that even if it is impossible to

prevent them going to Canton itself very few will want to

He considers go there if the Shameen is closed to them,

the political situation warrants risking complications with

China by arresting reservists there.

My opinion is that transfer to Shameen should be

allowed to a few approved persons who already have branches

of their firms there; that expulsion of present residents

on Shaneen would be futile as they would merely transfer themselves to Chinese soil. As regards the arrest of re-

servists I deprecate such action as it would inevitably lead to complications with the Chinese Authorities.
