"We raise this question because the various portions of "the British Empire are often at cross purposes, and we "think the quickest way to obtain the inter-recognition "that we need (such as, for instance, between Hongkong "and Canada) will be to establish first of all the "recognition of the local certificates by the Board of

"Trade."

In the official instructions as to the survey of Passenger Steamships, issued by the Board of Trade in 1913, it is provided in paragraph 17 (page8), under the heading of "Acceptance of Colonial Passenger Certificates":-
