Enclosure 3.

The Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce.

776

St. George's Building.

Hongkong, 22nd. January, 1912.

I have the Honour to enclose copies of two letters which have been received by this Chamber from Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, Agents, China Navigation Co., Ltd., and Capt. W. E. Clarke, Secretary, Hongkong, Canton & Macao Steam- -boat Co., Ltd., on the subject of the smiling of Salt into Canton by vessels trading from this port.

These two letters will place you in full possession

of the facts, and my Committee therefore content themselves with expressing their entire sympathy with omers of such vessels who experience considerable hardship and difficulty in plying their trade with Canton, from the absence of a law empowering the arrest and conviction of persons cau.ht inthe nefarious trade of salt smuggling.

My Committee commend this subject to the earnest consideration of His Excellency the Governor and trust that he will see his way to introduce a Bill in the Legislative Council with the view of reloving, effectually the ground of complaint and affording the necessary protection to owers xix of vessels plying to Canton.
