Mr.Duncan.
Mr.Bushe, having no time before sailing for
West Africa to meet the Treasury Solicitor, deputed me
to undertake this task, and I met Sir Maurice Gwyer
last Wednesday.
In the course of our discussion I stressed
the necessity, from the point of view of the Colonial
Office and the Admiralty, of some action which would
upset the judgment of the Full Court of Hong Kong. If
this judgment was allowed to stand, the Navy, having
no longer the support of the courts, would be
compelled to adopt more drastic measures for the
suppresion of piracy.
Sir
