/2 July, 1915.

I am directed by Mr. Secretary Chamberlain to

state for the information of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law that

he has recently been in correspondence with the Foreign

Office on the question of Bhagwan Singh, a British Indian

subject of seditious tendencies whose record in British

Columbia is known to your department.

476

Bhagwan Singh recently arrived in Japan from

Manila, and His Majesty's Ambassador is endeavouring to

arrange that he should be deported on a British or Japanese

ship direct to Hongkong. Mr. Chamberlain will be greatly

obliged if the Governor of Hongkong (who is understood to

be in direct communication with the Government of India)

can be instructed to detain Bhagwan Singh upon his arrival,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
