He proposes this afternoon to try and frighten the American

Consul-General in the same way.

Anywhere else the world over except in China Eugene

Ch'en is a British subject, and, if there be any ordinance

providing for the punishment of persons trying to upset or

disturb the peace of the Colonial Government, I would suggest

that, in the event of his making good his threat of a boycott, you arrest him the next time he turns up in Hongkong thereafter.

I cannot refrain from availing myself of this oppor-

tunity to point out that since the early "seventies" it has Foreign been laid down by successive Secretaries of State

-

-

and Colonial that the sole channel of official communication

written or verbal between the Governments of Hongkong and Kuangtung is the representative of the Foreign Office stationed at Canton, and I my cite, as a comparatively recent illustra- tion of how this principle has been observed, the fact that Sir Henry May refused to see Mr. 0. C. Wu, who bore a letter of introduction from his father, who was a personal friend of the Governor. The present system of dual channels, which has been,

somewhat strained, in order to re-establish mutual relations allowed to grow up, more especially when one channel is an individual with the questionable antecedents of Eugene Ch'en, is not only unsatisfactory in the extreme, but detrimental to the interests which we are here to uphold. I do not for one moment lose sight of the importance of the interests of Hongkong, but, with every desire in the world to safeguard such interests, I cannot leave out of account, in discussing this particular question, the wider Imperial interests at stake, should by a precedent created locally, the whole of the Maritime Customs' system come to grief.

That with this view His Majesty's Minister concurs I feel

I am, Dear Sir Edward,

certain.

Yours sincerely,

JT W. JAMIESON.
