As suggested by Mr. Sampson, then 11.4. Charge d'Affaires at løking, in his despatch to you 30. 60 of March 26th last, you have further consulted a la to the Elvisability of complying with the suggestion which had then been made by the зritish America Tobacco Company (Chim) -imited that in view of the difficulties, arising out of the nature of their business in Chin, which that Gopeng would have in complying with the requirements of the China Companies (Amendinant) Order in Council 1919 s■ to ge ezal and substantial ritish control of the Company, an wanking Order in Council might be made giving H.H. Hinister power to grunt 11oenoes to 3zitish 'China" Companies, in any wyproved to retain the management of such a Company in non- British həidə.
Che British American Tobacco Company (China) Sta.. have by their letters to you of the 6th, 7th and 14th instant, detailed, for your approval, a scheme for the trɑazarenos of the real management and control of the Company, and ite subsidiary China Congunies, from Shanghai to Hongkong.
As Registrar of Companies, and after consultation with myself, you are prepared, in accordance with the pro- visions of Article 4(3) of the Hongkong Companies Ordinance 1915, to tænafer the register of the Company to llongkong. If the proposals made by the Coupny are ourried out, ca there in every zeuson, I understand, to believe they will be, then the grounds upon which a revision of the Ching Comunica (amendment) Order in Council of 1929 way urged ut seking by the represantative of the Company in webruary 2nt, vonid
disappear.
