that paragraph (5) of the rule expressly provides that nothing in that rule shall be construed as limiting the operation of any other rule of the Order, the object being to save Rule 7. The question of fixing a small maxi cum value for local trade consignments to non-White List firns, as suggested in the Secretary of State's despatch of the 12th Nove.aber, 1915, was considered, but it was found that the result would be to stop a large volume of valua le and perfectly unobjectionable trade.
A general form of export licence has been included in the schedule in case one may be required, and it is possible that it may be convenient to issue export licen- ses to certain passage boats and launches which ply regu- larly to places on the West River or on the coast of Kwong Tung in the neighbourhood of Hongkong. Of course each licence would be limited to the particular place or places
to which the vessel in question plies.
Theimport and export statements required by Rules 26 and 27 are in the forms in the Schedules expressed to be furnished also as manifests under the Certificates of Origin Ordinance, 1915, and the Declarations of Ultimate Destination Ordinance, 1915, respectively. The objects
of this are (a) to avoid a double return of the same par- ticulars, and (b) to bring the statements clearly with the evidence provisions of section 9 of this Ordinance.
Liquore, opium and sugar have been exempted because there is already sufficient control in those three cases, In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His
Excellency the Governor may properly assent in the name
of His Majesty and on His behalf.
