sir.

Bokohama.

25th March 1920.

I have the honour to call your attention to the

following which has been brought to my notice, and which

may be of interest to you.

The British Consul at Fameui, Formose, reports that

he has been told by a Formosan that the Formosan authorities

are in the habit of telling Formosane (Japanese subjects but of Chinese race) who are applicants for passports to British

destinations, that it is unnecessary for them to obtain a

visa from the British Consulate.

The informant further stated that he had made several

Journeys to Hong Kong during the past year, without a British

visa, and he is by no means an isolated case.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

(sgd) D.D.Gunn.

Passport Control Officer.

The Passport Control Officer,

c/o Colonial Secretary,
