Officer should not affiliate to the Chinese Chamber of
Commerce and I see no reason for his affiliation to any other body.
5, I am strongly opposed to the entrusting of the necessary
functions to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The appointment
os recomen:lation of Vis Government of an eminent local Chinese
is open to serious objection and it could hardly prove other
than unsatisfactory,
6. Appointment of a consular officer of some other country
officer might be accepted if it were possible to find a suitable but
I doubt whether any Consular officer who would be considered
suitable by this Government would accept the appointment.
?
7. Ün consideration of whole question Hong Kong will be
prepared subject to stipulation stated above to accept a special officer if Chinese Government persists in its refusal to
appoint the Commissioner of Customs.
