(4) Certain monies are at present in the hands of the Trustees derived from the rent of the property of the

Rhenish Mission. We understand it is the desire of the

Trustees to hand over these monies to the Rhenish Mission to

assist in their work in the Kwangtung Prevince, and that

the Secretary of State was recently consulted by the

Hengkong Government in regard to this proposal. This matter we are informed, is one of exceptional urgency since the missionaries in China are stated to be suffering very great privations.

(5) In regard to the Basel Mission, permission has already been granted for the return of Mr. Jucker. He has been

awaiting the decision of the Board of Trustees regarding

the property which is needed for residence and office. The

Basel Hission new desire to send in addition another

missionary to help the Hakka congregation. The man they

have in mind for this work is the Rev. August Nagel, who

has been a missionary in China since 1894. No was a member of the Commission of the British and Foreign Bible Society

appointed to revise the Hakka Bible. If Mr. Magal is for

any reason umnoceptable to the Hongkong Government the

Basel Society would be willing te substitute anether

missionary. In the event of permission being granted to

the Basel Society to resume their work in Hongkong they

would make application to the Board of Trustees for the

use of their former property.

If there are any matters in connection with the

return of the German missionaries to which the Hongkong

Government attach importance, the Conference of Missionary

Societies would be willing to bring them to the attention

of the German societies and believe that these societies

would be willing to conform to all reasonable requirements

of the Government.

I am, &c.,

(sd.) J. H. Oldham.
