Sir G. Maxwell referred incidentally to the

report of the local commission in Hong Kong, some

passages in which had made his hair stand on end,

particularly in view of the fact that he has hitherto

held up Hong Kong as a model which it would be well

for certain Chinese cities to follow. I told him

that we had not yet received the comments of the

Officer Administering the Government on this report,

and he agreed to keep its contents to himself for

the present. Copy of this paragraph might be put

on the Hong Kong file.
