? Reply to Sir George Maxwell thanking him

for his suggestions, saying that the S. of S.

has already reached a decision as to the policy

to be pursued on this question; that in view

of the very great differences between the

Mui Tsai system in Hong Kong which so far as

it involved any kind of personal slavery, has

already been declared to be unrecognised by Law

and the Debt-slave system in Kedah ← an exact

7 application of the Kedah plan of Reform

would

be impossible, but that such parts of it as are of

use in Hong Kong have been or will be applied.

The previous file, 62758, should be returned

to the Printing Department as early as possible.
