Dear Dr. Drummond Shields,

Mere Cottage,

Birkenhead.

28th May, 1931.

With reference to my question No. 26, reported

in Hansard of May 13th, in which it was suggested

that some evasion of the Registration Ordinance

with regard to Mui Tsai in the colony of Hong Kong was

taking place, I now enclose cuttings from the "Hong

Kong Telegraph" reporting several cases of recent date,

which were the basis of the question, and, I think suggest the necessity forfurther enquiry.

I should be glad if you would let me have the se

cuttings back again in due course.

I regret that I overlooked sending these to you

before and will be glad to have them back to your convenience.

Yours sincerely,

H. Graham White.

MBW.

Dr. Drummond Shields,

Under Secretary of State for the Colonies. Colonial Office. Whitehall.S.W.l.
