I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
our Excellency's note to the following effect:-
"It has been agreed that in the event of Chinese
ho have assumed Dutch nationality being desirous, on their
return to China, of retaining the same, they should within
bhree months of their return report to a Dutch Consul, and
that if they propose to make a prolonged stay in China they
should during the first three months of each solar year again
report to a Dutch Consul; persons who fail to take these steps
being considered as having lost their Dutch nationality.
"I fear, however, that Chinese who may be of Dutch
nationality owing to their compliance with the steps above
laid down may for their own advantage pretend to the general
public to be of Chinese nationality, thus being at one time
Chinese, at another time Dutch. Such action is most
improper. Again it is impossible that an individual without
any intentional pretence on his part but simply in ignorance
of his nationality may also give rise to mistakes. This also
is an improper state of affairs, and steps should be taken
to guard against it.
"In my opinion these evils will be sufficiently
guarded against if organs of Chinese administration are made
aware of the names of persons registered at Dutch Consulates
in China; for the organs in question will then know that they
should treat persons so registered as Dutch subjects.
