Dear Sir James,

Enclosure No. 9.

Governmenthouse,

Hongkong, 16th December, 1923.

Perhaps it will be the most convenient course if I follow your example and take seriatim the points in your letter

of December 15th.

1, 2, and 3. I do not think that there is, from the practical point of view, mach difference between ignoring a proposal and not answering it for three months but that is not Sun's my business. I am not concerned with the justice of Dr. complaints or with the soundness of his arguments. All that I am concerned with is the fact that he declares that unless he gets certain things he will do certain other things and those other things will, in my judgment, be so disastrous to the interests of this Colony and of British trade that everything possible ought to be done to avoid them.

4. Admitting that money which falls into the hands of either side will be used to fight the other, why should the Powers interfere on one side? Thy not leave the Chinese to settle their own difference? The logical course would be to tell the Customs to keep all the money, after providing for the cost of the service and the interest and sinking fund of the loans which are secured on the Custome, and to account for it to the Government of a United China when there is one.

5. I understand that he would have consented to deposit the money in Banks approved by the Powers, but in any case his later proposal makes this passage obsolete.

6. Perhaps; but the Powers have not applied this doctrine to the "Governments" which controlled Peking and nothing else.

ir James Jamieson, K.C.M.G..

H. B. M. Consul-General,

CANTON.
