have yet been taken under Article 4 of the new Order-in-Council so as to enable the negotiations for the transfer of the whole of the Company's undertaking to the China Mutual Life Insurance Company Limited to be completed, as referred to in the letters from the companies to yourself of January 30th and 31st last.

I have the honour therefore to confirm, on further experience, the advice given in my despatch of 16th March last

in this matter.

My reasons for thinking that any relaxation of the provisions of the new Order-in-Council would be inadvisable are

as follows:-

The transfer of all 'China Companies heretofore

under non-British control to British control has been

practically completed.

As to the British American Tobacco Co. (China)

Ltd. the business of the Company will in future be

controlled from Hongkong where the Company and all

members of the Head Office will be under British

jurisdiction.

If licences allowing non-British management of

China Companies were under any circumstances obtain-

able, a most invidious and difficult task would be set

H..Minister, and the Registrar and also the Crown

Advocate as his technical adviser in such matters.

If such licences were obtainable, the force and

effect of salutary provisions, the need of which has

been felt for years, would be seriously weakened.

If any such licences were granted, good ground of

complaint would be given to those Americans and

Japanese who had heretofore controlled China Com-

panies and who have complied with the Order-in-Council

and renounced the management of auch companies.

I have, etc.

H. P. WILKINSON,

Crown Advocate.
