As a result of the present hostilities the

Wagons-Lits Company have had to land some coaches

destined for Shanghai at Hong Kong. Location was

provided for these on the Kowloon-Canton Railway,

necessitating the laying down of 14,000 feet of

siding. This siding and the material employed upon

it are the property of the Railway, and the Wagons-Lits

Company ask that in view of this its cost might be

shared equally between the Company and the Railway.

M.PTIt appears to me that if this expenditure was under-

taken entirely on behalf of the Company, then it is

only right that its cost should be paid entirely by

them. It is moreover possible that the siding in

question will be of little use to the Railway in

future. However, we might, I think, refer this to

the Colonial Government as requested, and I attach

drafts for conson.
