the river bank, they have at a disadvantage Chinese villagers who attempt to cross the river, and they do not hesitate to open fire upon them. A verbal message has, therefore, by my instructions been sent by the Captain Superintendent of Police to Strike Headquarters at Sham-chun notifying the strike pickets that any of them seen patrolling the frontier will be treated as outlaws and be driven off by rifle fire, if necessary. Should occasion require it, troops will again be placed in camp along the British side of the frontier and the seaplane patrol of the frontier, which was mintained while His Majesty's Ship "Hermes" was here, will be resumed. Inquiries are also being made as to what action against strike pickets may be possible at Swatow, where the present position is most humiliating to His Majesty's Consul and the British residents. I refer you, for example, to Mr. C. Kirke's letter of the 2nd August to the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs at Swatow, a copy of which was enclosed in his despatch to the Foreign Office, No. 63 of the 13th August.

You will observe that article I (a) of the Shipping Regulations of the Canton-Hongkong Strike Committee, a copy of which is enclosed in Mr. Brenan's despatch under reference, reads as follows:-

"If any ships under British management and flying "the British flag come to Canton without the consent "of the Strike Committee, the ships and cargoes will be confiscated.

In spite of this regulation the British river steamers 8. 8. "Fat-shan" and "Leung-shan", flying the British flag, ply regularly to and fro between Canton and Hong Kong. But, in order to "spoil the face" of the Strike

Committee
