4. About the same time a despatch was
received from the Governor from which it was learnt
that in December 1924 he had appointed a Committee
(consisting of representatives of the Hong Kong
Government, British and Chinese shipowners and
ships officers) to advise on various suggestions
for the improvement of the Piracy Regulations.
The representatives of the shipowners and ships
officers however refused to take part in the delibera-
tions of the Committee on the ground that they
objected to the Regulations entirely. When the
Governor declined to enlarge the terms of reference,
these representatives withdrew and submitted the
Minority Report referred to above.
5. The Minority Report included a copy of
"Notes on Firacy and its Prevention" by the Senior
Naval Officer in charge of Meat River Patrols, who
expressed the opinion that the only alternative to the
then existing system was to increase the number of
armed launches available. He suggested that if 5
more aimed launches were provided and marmed by
Royal Naval officers and men, the carrying of lar
armed guards and the sailing on convoy could be
abolished and the system of grilles could also be
very much modified.
6. The Commander in thief thina station
concurred generally in this view though he pointed
out that coastal traffic North and South from Hồng
Kong would not be affected by the provision of
additional launches and he was inclined to think that
the Senior Naval Officer was optimistic as to the
mber which would be required to enable the convoy
system to be abolished on the runs between Hong Kong
Canton and the West River.
