I am directed by the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No.53267/1921,
regarding the laws and regulations governing the immigration
of Chinese into South American countries.
2.
His Majesty's representatives in all such countries
have already been instructed in another connection to
furnish this information. Replies have been received in
respect of the following countries: Mexico, Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Selvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, the
Argentine Republic, Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela and Bolivia.
Copies of these despatches are enclosed herewith.
3.
It will be observed that this list includes only two
of the four countries in regard to which the Governor of
Hongkong desires the information most urgently, via. Mexico
and Panama, and that in both these cases, the immigration of
Chinese labour is entirely prohibited.
4.
Telegrams, copies of which are enclosed, have
accordingly been sent to His Majesty's Ministers in the
other two countries mentioned by the governor, namely
Chile and Peru, instructing them to expedite their reports
and also asking them to endeavour to supply such further
information as may be desirable to enable the government of
Hongkong to decide whether the conditions of Chinese
labour in Chile and Peru are satisfactory.
The Under Secretary of State,
Coloniel Office.
