Sir, I have received representations of the

nature indicated from certain leading residents of

H. Kong, but I am assured by the

gov.

that full

consideration has been and is given to local views.

I have replied to the Petition addressed to me that

I am in agreement with the views explained by Lord

respectively

Ripon and Mr. Chamberlain in 1894 and 1896, which

are equally applicable at the present time,

and

cannot see my way to granting wider looal powers

to the unofficial European section of the commu-

nity.
