and Hongkong where the Geram steamers "Rajah" and "Borneo" previously operated. The results from the two lines mentioned are

about a quarter of what we could obtain in the trades that other people are participating in, but which are of no national impértani -ce whatever, We do not pose as "martyrs", but I unhesitatingly way wo mvo "played the game" from first to last and it is very

aggravating to see other parties securing such ships as the *Dajaburi" and "Quarta" on easy terms, only operate them in employ- -ment which simply swolia their em accounts, especially when suct parties have done next to nothing in supplying ships for national

the

the purpose. In of Straits Steamship Companyds, two German steamers were turned over to them to run frùm Singapore to Bomeo although the parties who got them hade done no war work with their

tennage whatever.

The Suweging reasons, osuple with the fact that all our available funds are placed in Government War Securiti- -es and that in 1915 we contributed/@

(eresse profits tax over

£100,000 makes me hope that the "Powers that Be" will now be willing to give us a "quid pre que" in letting us take over the

Norwegian steamers on reasonable terms,

Should you require further particulars I

shall be glad to provide them,

Yours sincerely,

A. Q. M. Fletcher, Esq.,

Asst. Colonial Secretary,

Hongkong.
