Treaty Ports in China urge that compensation be granted to naval and

17. military officers on the same basis as that given by the Hongkong

Government to the civil service there.

My Committee are unanimous in endorsing this appeal and as the

hardship is very great they respectfully express the hope that His

Majesty's Government will give the matter their most favourable con-

sideration.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

7. Anderson

Chairman.
