(d). Using the Newspapers in Canton and other places in

Kwangtung for boycott against British goods and a general virulent campaign against Great Britain and Hongkong. (●). Impressing strikers from Hongkong into military service with offensive object against Great Britain, and lastly (f). Importing freely Russian vessels enormous quantities

of warlike materials.

4. That the cessation of communication by sea and rail between Hongkong and Canton has already had the effect of divert- ing several shipments of rice and flour from Hongkong direct to Canton; and it is feared that if the present state of affairs continues for any length of time, Hongkong will lose the bulk of its sea-borne trade as it is but a distributing centre foż South Chine.

5. That this Committee, on behalf of this Chamber and of all loyal Chinese residents of this Colony, respectfully suggest that the people and press of England may at once be made acquainted with the true state of affairs in China and Hongkong by means of an organised and extensive system of publicity. 6. That the sentiments herein expressed are also shared by

the Chinese merchants in Canton and elsewhere in South China, who have maffered untold damage through the action of the

Bolshevic regime in Cant on, but whe, being in China itself,

are unable publicly to give expression to these sentiments.

7. That it is the fim and solen conviction of the Chinese

merchants of this Colony that as long as the present Bolshevic Government in Canton remains in power, so long will the prevailing

conditions in Hongkong and Canton continue, and that there can be

only one temination to the present situation, which is the

general ruination of the commercial and financial life of Hongkong

and of Canton.
