(see despatch No. $485$.)\n\n46\n\nI suspect the Hongkong gov't have overlooked this point; but there is nothing in the Govt despatch 177955, regarding actions then on the outbreak of war, to show that the Proclamation has been issued.\n\nref: to the\n\nI think the gov't should be asked with G.O.C. Wigram to W.D. whether the exigencies of the situation could best be met by the issue of a Mock's enforcing the dims contained in Secret despatch of 14 May 1897. The Defence of the Realm Acts have been introduced in other Cols.\n\nT.C.H.\n\n16/10/14\n\nMr. Risley.\n\nI think it is plain, as the War Office suggest in their letter, that the Defence of the Realm Acts and Regulations do not apply outside the United Kingdom.\n\nclearly so I think. A rep. of the 1.0.00 I dismissed the time being on the same context ? 1x of the Army Act !\n\n68\n\nI also agree with Mr. Macnaghten that the objects aimed at by the Acts could, to a large extent at least, be attained by means of the Order in Council of 1896. Section 3(4) of the Order in Council subjects all persons within the Colony affected to military law; Section 4(3) and section 5(4) & (5) to some extent meet the requirements of Chap. 29 section 1(a) as amended by Chap. 53 Section 1(a). (Note that the Order in Council makes all persons subject to military law as if they were accompanying His Majesty's troops on active service beyond the seas.) Probably also some of the general prohibitions contained in this part of the Army Act would apply to most cases coming within section 1(b) of Chap. 29 as amended by section 1(b) of Chap. 53, and in this connection attention may also be drawn to Article 4 of the Order in Council.\n\nI think we might proceed as proposed by Mr. Macnaghten informing the Governor that the Defence of the Realm Acts and Regulations do not apply to the Colony but that there is no objection, subject to the question mentioned above as to the sufficiency of the Order in Council, to his introducing similar legislation.\n\n06-17.\n\nAVC\n\n10.

Course has been carried out on the short range.\n\n## Signalling Section\n\nA Signalling Section, consisting almost entirely of trained telegraphists, was formed and numbers 23. The Section is very efficient in flag signalling and with the heliograph and lamps. Much credit is due to Sergeant Blair for the efficient state of the Section.\n\n## Stretcher Bearer Section\n\nA Stretcher Bearer Section has been formed, the members of which are nearly all qualified pharmacists. The present strength is 8.\n\n## Cadet Company\n\nThis Company, which now numbers 1 Officer and 67 cadets, is over establishment. Drills have been regularly held and the boys have been instructed in swimming. A number of the boys were employed as orderlies and messengers by the Commandant, the Cable Censor, and the Provost Marshal and proved very useful.\n\nThe Annual Camp was held at Doue Hill from 2nd to 11th January 1915 inclusive. Their work in camp was inspected by H.E. the Governor and the Commandant on 8th January. The annual inspection of the Company has not yet been held.\n\n## Mobilization\n\nThe Corps was called out for Active Service by Proclamation of H.R.H. the Governor on August 5th, 1914, and the mobilization positions were manned. The outlying detachments were withdrawn on 22nd August 1914. The remainder of the Corps, which forms part of the General Reserve, were quartered in Murray Barracks. On the 16th August, the latter were moved into camp on the Corps Parade Ground; on 16th December, the camp was disbanded.\n\nOn March 6th, 1915, the guard at Headquarters was re-established, and mounted alternate weeks with the Reserves - 2 Officers and 100 men.\n\nPage 321 \nPage 036",

        "content_text": "# CANADA AND INDIA\n\n## AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION\n\nThe Toronto Globe published recently some interesting letters which help to throw some light on the Hindu question in Canada. \"Orillian\" in its columns makes the suggestion: \"Why sacrifice the lives of thousands more of Canadians, the best citizens in the British Empire, instead of accepting, say, five millions Hindus, who are good British subjects, but not so valuable to the Empire as are our Canadians.\" To this another correspondent of that paper writes: \"His idea that Britain should draw a million or two Hindus instead of calling upon Canadians for the ignoble reason he advances is one that will be repugnant to all Canadians.\" Whilst \"A Man\" writes in another letter: \"Hindus offer their lives, which are just as dear to them as his to the Orillian, to help the Empire in this great struggle, irrespective of several harsh treatments they received at Vancouver some time ago.\"\n\n## THE FRIENDS AND THE HINDUS\n\nThe Canada half-yearly meeting of Friends, held at Newmarket, Ont., Sept. 27th, 1915, passed the following resolution unanimously: \n\"The question of the Hindustanis in British Columbia having been at this time considered in our half-yearly conference, and it appealing to us that they live under disabilities which are unjust, we are united in asking the Government of Canada to make timely regulations that will facilitate the entry into Canada of the wives and children of these British subjects resident in Canada and thus restore to them the privileges of home life. We ask this in the interests, we believe, of morality and Christian civilization and a united Empire. We understand the majority of the East Indians in Canada are Sikhs, whose religion teaches the inwardness of God's revelation, the unity of mankind, the equality of the sexes, education for girls, monogamy, physical and moral purity, and the avoidance of Idol worship, superstition, caste exclusiveness, and the use of spirituous liquors.\n\n\"The regulation requiring continuous passage of Asiatic immigrants operates to discriminate against these people, understanding that while the conditions of travel permit the Japanese and Chinese to easily comply therewith, it is practically impossible for women of India to do so and not run the risk of deportation.\n\n\"In this strenuous moment of national difficulty, we would ask only for a simple regulation that will speedily recognize this claim of humanity and social order in behalf of these people and of Justice.\n\n\"Directed to be signed by the clerks this 27th day of the ninth month, 1915, and forwarded to the Hon. the Secretary of State and Sir Robert Borden, Prime Minister in the Government of Canada, for and on behalf of Canada Half-yearly Meeting of Friends.\"\n\nIn connection with this, we have to thank Mr. William Greenwood Brown and other friends who held a large meeting where he and others spoke regarding this movement.\n\n## CANADA INDIA COMMITTEE\n\nWithin the last few months, there has been formed in Toronto the Canada India Committee. The following extracts from the published syllabus state briefly the outlook and purposes which have called it into existence:\n\nA few individuals have formed the Canada India Committee for the furtherance of two objects, which in their opinion are of vital importance to India, to Canada, and to the British Empire. The objects are:\n\n(a) To promote a wider appreciation of Canada's relation to India.\n\n(b) To secure its equitable adjustment.\n\nThe first is of a general educational character, designed to remove certain prejudices on the part of the citizens of both India and Canada. The second will develop a series of practical campaigns to remove certain injustices imposed on the people of India resident in Canada.\n\nThe committee's motives are based on the fundamental **RIGHTS OF MAN** and the principles of Christianity, professed by all the Western peoples, without regard to political, sectarian, or personal aims.\n\nThe Committee:\n\n(1) ACCEPTS, as involving a high moral obligation, the great pledge given the people of India in 1858 by Queen Victoria and subsequently confirmed by King Edward and King George, which proclaimed: \n\"We hold ourselves bound to the natives of our Indian territories by the same obligations of duty which bind us to all our other subjects,\nMay the God of all power grant to us and those in authority under us strength to carry out these,\"\n\n(2) DECLARES in consequence the necessity of Canadian laws which will prevent discrimination against British Indians, whilst maintaining the established economic policy of the country.\n\n(3) INVITES the aid of all persons and organizations actuated by the above motives, in securing the successful outcome of the committee's objects.\n\nThe committee realizes that unaided it would be powerless to create a great wave of popular protest which will induce the Government to provide simple justice to our fellow British subjects, therefore, the committee invites the co-operation and support of all religious and missionary bodies, the social, fraternal, and patriotic societies, and the press of Canada; in fact, the aid of any group is welcomed that will work for the **CAUSE** itself regardless of personal advantage.\n\n## WORK OF THE COMMITTEE\n\nA sympathizer writes about the committee in the Friends' Intelligencer: \"It is the forerunner of a movement that should surely succeed in removing the blot upon Christianity and civil government associated with the domestic disabilities under which the Sikhs in Canada and their families in India exist. The wives and children are practically forbidden to live in Canada.\n\n\"While inopportune to enter upon the broad question of political rights, and the economic considerations involved in their status on the Pacific Coast, the inhumanity, as it appears to us, the claims of morality, justice, and right relations within and without the British Empire call for immediate correction.\n\n\"To those interested in missionary enterprise, this travesty upon Christian brotherhood on professed Christian soil is a serious handicap. To those not self-centred or indifferent to the march of events and world vision, it must be apparent that every people, individually or in groups, national or less, affects all other peoples, and by them is affected in return.\"\n\n\"A Syllabus of Its Objects, Principles, and Procedure,\" issued by the Canada India Committee, and other literature may be had by writing to the Secretary, Dr. L. A. Davis, 68 Tranby Avenue, Toronto, Canada.\n\n## GREAT BRITAIN\n\n### AFTER THE WAR\n\nAt a meeting of the Royal Colonial Institute, Sir John McCall, the Agent-General for Tasmania, said: \"For the first time in the history of our widespread Empire, men from all parts are taking a share in the war, and one gathers from general conversations that there has been a strongly expressed feeling that the whole Empire should have a say in the making of war as well as the making of peace. How can this union be secured without putting too tight a rein on young democratic Dominions? Moreover, there are certain countries practically within the Empire which do not rank as Dominions, but which to my mind should be consulted before any final decision as to Imperial union is decided upon—I mean India and Egypt.\n\n\"My proposal is that a convention be called together by the King or the Imperial Government at the time of the next Imperial Premiers' Conference, and that those to be invited to attend the convention should be, in addition to representatives of each important party in the Parliament of this country, the Prime Minister and leaders of the Opposition of the Dominions' Parliaments, together with two others to be selected by them each from his own party, and a representative from each party in the Senate, the Premiers, and leaders of the Opposition in each State and Provincial Parliament: a representative from each Crown colony, together with such representatives of India and Egypt as may be decided upon by the Indian and Colonial Offices in conjunction with the Council of India and other Councils interested.\"\n\nSir Charles Lucas, the Permanent Under Secretary of State at the Colonial Office said: \"If you gave two representatives on this commission to each of the self-governing Dominions and two to India and had three for the United Kingdom, including the chairman, you would have fifteen. Assuming that a convention is recommended and called together, its work would be to draft a scheme for a future organization of the Empire. That scheme would be sent out and all the Legislatures would sit in judgment upon it. This will take time, but that in my opinion is an advantage.\"\n\n### PREMIER BORDEN ON HINDUS\n\n*India* (London, Eng.) says: \"We do not know what Sir Robert Borden is going to do with the Indian grievance in Canada when the war is over; but he certainly does not forget India, as some English politicians do, in the public speeches which he has been making during his visit to London. Last week he was entertained at luncheon at the House of Commons by the Empire Parliamentary Association. Mr. Balfour and Mr. Bonar Law were both present; and in responding to the toast of 'Canada and the War,' Sir Robert Borden said: 'Last autumn, in speaking before a Canadian club in the West of Canada, he said that if the war continued for a year it was reasonably probable that the overseas Dominions would have in the field 250,000 men. He ventured to think that to-day, if they estimated what Australia had done and was doing—what New Zealand had done and was doing—what South Africa had done and was doing—what India had done and was doing—the overseas Dominions of the Empire had in the field or in training, as organized troops, no less than 350,000 men.'\"\n\nPage 630\n\n## CANADA AND INDIA\n\n### AN EMPIRE DAY CIRCULAR\n\nThe British Empire of to-morrow will be made by its children of to-day. What then can be of more importance than the ideals which are placed before them? That the London County Council has realized this is shown by a printed circular which was issued for use in the elementary schools in London on the occasion of this year's celebration of Empire Day. Its tone and purpose are evident in the following extracts: The response of the Empire, so immediate and complete, has moved to admiration those who awaited it with confidence, and astonished those who doubted of the reality of Imperial Unity... As scattered particles of steel respond to the magnet, as a solution, shapeless and unordered, resolves itself at the right touch into beautiful forms, true to type and loyal to some mysterious force, so has the Empire responded to the touch of necessity. Never before has the world witnessed so calm, so splendid, so unrehearsed a pageant as is presented by the rally of the Empire to-day.\n\n### THE RESPONSE OF INDIA\n\nMost touching and dramatic of all has been the response of India. For here are no subtleties of kinship, no bonds of a common tongue or a common faith, no traditions of our island race. Sikhs from the Punjab and Pathans from the north-western hills, martial Rajputs and tireless Gurkhas, men from the Khyber and Chitral tribes, have united in unswerving loyalty and enthusiastic devotion to the King-Emperor.\n\nThe proudest princes have volunteered for active service, and are to-day with their men on the battlefield, headed by chivalrous Sir Pratap Singh, who at seventy years of age claimed leadership. A far-reaching fellowship of race and spirit has been created, and Christianity has found some answer in the creeds of Islam, Buddha, and Brahma.\n\n### THE TIE THAT BINDS\n\nThe Mother Country is still the heart of the Empire. Love has ever been a stronger bond of union than force. The word Empire first appears in English history in a statute of Henry VIII., and there it denotes not domination, but spiritual and temporal independence. \"It may fairly be stated,\" says Sir Charles Lucas, \"that at the present day British Empire connotes British liberty.\"\n\nTo freedom may be added justice in administration and loyalty to the pledged word; tolerance whenever possible of customs and modes of life, and, not least, reverence for other faiths. There is, too, in increasing measure, a humanitarian aspect of the spirit.\n\nWhat of the future? None dare predict, but all may feel that, because of to-day, to-morrow can never be again as yesterday. The British Empire is becoming a federation of free peoples, organic and not mechanical in its growth; a federation based on community of interests, finding unity in consent and strength in diversity.\n\n### SIR GEORGE PAISH ON HINDU IMMIGRATION\n\nWriting about Hindu Immigration to Canada, Sir George Paish, the eminent authority on finance, said in the London *Statist*: \"Remembering that the population of India amounts to 315,000,000 of human beings; that it is sunk in abject poverty; and that nobody who takes the trouble to enquire can doubt that it would be an immense help to India if there should be a large and successful emigration. We had hoped for broader views, for more prescience, and for a truer Imperial spirit on the part of the people of Canada. They themselves are all settlers from foreign lands, or the descendants of such settlers. We had fondly hoped that, knowing all this, they would recognize the consequent (Imperial) obligation upon them. We have been disappointed.\"\n\nAt a recent meeting of the General Board of Social Service and Evangelism of the Methodist Church, discussion took place as to the advisability of asking the powers that be to allow the families of the Sikhs domiciled in the Dominion to enter Canada. Dr. Watson spoke of the apparent unfairness that British subjects should be thus debarred.\n\nSir Reginald Craddock will lay on the table of the Imperial Legislative Council a statement showing the number of colonials employed in Government service in British India, in reply to a question by the Hon. Mr. Surendra Nath Bannerjea, of Calcutta.\n\nCapt. Mellish at the Anglican Synod, held here last month, speaking of the Hindus on the Pacific Coast, said they have been treated miserably. \"If we treated the Hindus rightly, we would find them splendid citizens.\" He felt that the recent immigration trouble on the coast was badly managed.\n\nRepresentative periodicals published in India are: \"*The Modern Review*,\" a monthly English magazine, issued from 210 Cornwallis Street, Calcutta, India. Enclose 15 cent stamps for a specimen copy.\n\"*The Bengalee*,\" an English daily, printed in Calcutta, India.\n\n## INDIA\n\nThou who dost charm the heart of all the world, \nThou land gleaming with the golden glory of the sun, \nThou mother of our fathers and mothers, \nThe soles of whose feet are washed by the waters of the blue sea, \nWhose green skirts are fluttered by the breeze, \nWhose forehead, the Himalayas, is kissed by the skies, \nWho wearest the diamond diadem of the snows; \nIt was in thy firmament that the first day dawned, \nIt was in thy hermitages that the first hymns were sung. \nWords of wisdom, religion, poetry, history, first \nWere preached in thy forest temples. \nThou art blessed, the eternal dispenser of good; \nThou dost distribute food from land to land. \nThe Ganges and the Jumna are the milk of mercy flowing from thy breasts.\n—Rabindranath Tagore.\n\n### THE INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS\n\nThe response of India in this crisis of the Empire has been so spontaneous that an account of the Nationalist movement in India may be of some interest. It was after the Government of India was taken over by the people of Britain from the hands of a mere trading corporation that real interest was manifested in India's affairs. The terrible days of the Mutiny were over, and soon after that the late Queen Victoria issued the famous proclamation giving certain rights to the people of India, amongst which it said: \"We hold ourselves bound to the natives of our Indian territories by the same obligations of duty which bind us to all our other subjects.\" This in India is truly called the Magna Charta, for by this the rights of Hindu subjects of the Crown are duly recognized. It is not a mere \"scrap of paper.\"\n\n### EARLY HISTORY OF THE REFORMERS\n\nFollowing the days of racial conflict, passions rose high, and that, too, in a country where the racial question is always more or less acute. It took nearly a generation for the Indians to adjust themselves to the new conditions. Raja Ram Mohun Roy, the great reformer, who early in the last century went over to England to represent India's cause, and who did so much for reforms, political, social, and religious, died in England. It was late in the seventies that the famous leader, Keshub Chunder Sen, accompanied by some students, paid a visit to England. He was cordially received, and three of these students, Romesh Chunder Dutt, Surendro Nath Banerjea, and Krishna Govinda Gupta, rose high in the service of the Motherland.\n\nBut it was in 1884, when the works of these great leaders and of the Swami Dayanand Saraswati, who preached pure Hinduism from one corner of India to the other and founded the Arya Samaj, that steps were taken to organize India politically. Up to that time, the people had not much to say in the administration of their own country. Their voice, if heard at all, was ignored. The bureaucracy in India was a law unto itself, and it was the famous Ilbert Bill controversy which set the ball rolling.\n\nHindus who had received education in the best colleges and universities of the West and the East, learned in law, medicine, business, and other professions, got together and formulated plans to have their opinions heard. The condition in India was like that of Canada in 1837 when, under the leadership of William Lyon Mackenzie in Upper Canada and Papineau in Lower Canada, the people of the then Canada asked for primary rights of self-government, and it was not till Lord Durham came out to Canada as Governor-General and sent his famous despatch that Canada really got what she wanted. The full result of this act received its final consummation in the Confederation of Canada in 1867, granting Provincial autonomy to the various Provinces.\n\n### THE FIRST CONGRESS IN BOMBAY\n\nIn India, things were very similar. The foreign bureaucracy was well entrenched. It scoffed at this microscopic minority in India who asked for their just rights. This great movement, known afterwards in world history as the Indian National Congress, met for the first time in Bombay in December, 1885. There were representatives from all parts of India, great scholars, judges, lawyers, and editors. Mr. W. C. Bannerji, a well-known barrister-at-law of Calcutta, presided. At this day, when a learned Indian is sworn of His Majesty's Privy Council in England, whilst there are two Indians in the Council of the Secretary of State for India in London, and another a judge of the Madras High Court, who has been recently appointed the Minister of Education for India, it seems the beginning of the Congress was auspicious. These were modest men, but they, on behalf of the people of India, asked the primary rights of citizenship granted in India's Magna Charta. India's service to humanity in matters spiritual is recognized over the wide world, but the desire of her sons to make her a nation, which she is geographically as well as racially and otherwise, was very disconcerting to the official class.",

        "content_text": "The Attorney-General by his answer claims that possession of the said premises was lawfully taken by or under the authority of the competent Military Authority for the use of His Majesty, by virtue of His Majesty's Royal Prerogative, as well as by virtue of the powers conferred by the Defence of the Realm Consolidation Act, 1914 and of the Regulations issued thereunder by His Majesty in Council,\n\nThe Attorney-General further states that His Majesty claims as against the Suppliants no right or interest in the premises beyond the right to take and use them for so long as may be necessary for securing the public safety and the Defence of the Realm during the continuance of a state of War between His Majesty and any foreign Power. The Attorney-General denies that any rent or compensation is by law payable to the Suppliants either under the Defence Act, 1812, or at all.\n\nIt is therefore necessary to consider what powers are by law vested in the Sovereign, and exercised by the Executive Government, over the lands and houses of subjects required for the defence and security of the Realm.\n\nThose powers which the Executive exercises, without Parliamentary authority are comprised under the comprehensive term of the Prerogative. Where, however, Parliament has intervened and has provided by statute for powers previously within the prerogative, being exercised in a particular manner and subject to the limitations and provisions contained in the statute, they cannot be so exercised. Otherwise, what use would there be, in imposing limitations, if the Crown could at its pleasure disregard them, and fall back on prerogative. Indeed, it was expressly admitted by the Solicitor-General (Sir Ernest Pollock) that where a matter within the prerogative is provided for by statute, the prerogative is merged in the statute. In Ex parte Postmaster-General, 10 Chancery Division 595, Sir George Jessel, Master of the Rolls, said: \"The general rule as expressed in Bacon's Abridgment (7th edition, at page 462) is that where an Act of Parliament is made for the public good, the advancement of religion and justice, and to prevent injury and wrong, the King shall be bound by such Act, although not particularly named therein.\"\n\nAs instances of the exercises of the Royal Prerogative in the past, which are dealt with in the law books, the Crown relied particularly upon the right of entering upon the land of a subject to dig trenches and make fortifications: and to the right to take saltpetre for the purpose of making gunpowder. Various passages from writers of authority were cited dealing with these matters. Thus in Chitty on the Prerogative of the Crown:\n\nAs the constitution of the country has vested in the King the right to make war or peace, it has necessarily and incidentally assigned to him on the same principles the management of the war, together with various prerogatives which may enable His Majesty to carry it on with effect. Chitty on the Prerogatives of the Crown, Chapter IV., Section V., page 41.\n\nThus the King is solely entitled to erect, fortify, and govern forts and other places of strength within his dominions. (2 Institute 30, 1 Ibid 5). In case of necessity, the King may enter on the land of his subject to make fortifications (1 Rolle Reports, page 152). In the Saltpetre Case (1607) (12 Reports, 12) it was resolved: \"When enemies come against the realm to the Sea Coast it is lawful to come upon my land adjoining to the same Coast, to make trenches or bulwarks for the defence of the realm, for every subject hath benefit by it. And therefore by the common law, every man may come upon my land, for the defence of the realm, as appears by 8 Edward IV., Chapter 23, and in such place on such extremity, they may dig for gravel, for the making of bulwarks; for this is for the public, and everyone hath benefit by it; but after the danger is over, the trenches and bulwarks ought to be removed, so that the owner shall not have prejudice in his inheritance; and for the commonwealth, a man shall suffer damage: as for saving of a city or town, a house shall be plucked down, if the next be on fire; and the suburbs of a city in time of war for the common safety shall be plucked down; and a thing for the commonwealth every man may do without being liable to an action, as it is said in 3 Henry VIII. Fol. 15.\" Although it thus appears by the Saltpetre case that at common law even the public were entitled to enter upon another man's land to dig for gravel to make bulwarks, a statute to the same effect was passed in 1512—4 Henry VIII., Chapter 1 (Extracts, page 436). This provided that it should be lawful for all the King's subjects by the advice and assignment of the justices of the peace or sheriff to make all manner of bulwarks in every man's ground and to dig and delve for earth and stones for the making of the bulwarks and without any manner of payment, or any manner of action by anyone, against any of the King's subjects for any such matter or cause. The Act was a temporary one to endure to the next Parliament.\n\nThe power to enter to make trenches and erect bulwarks obviously has reference to preventing or repelling invasion, when enemies come against the country and when active measures are necessary at or along the coast, and particularly at or near the places threatened.\n\nWith regard to saltpetre, this was a matter of \"Purveyance,\" and was paid for. The first warrant for searching for it, in evidence in these proceedings, is 7 Henry VII. (1492); it assigned to James Hede to take material \"suitable and requisite for the making of saltpetre for our ordnance, wheresoever they can be found, as well within liberties as without, the fee of the Church only excepted, for our moneys in this behalf reasonably to be paid.\" Another warrant, in the 6 Henry VIII. (1515), granted to Hans Wolf for the like purpose (Extracts, page 400) provides for all damage being agreed and paid for. Another warrant, 31 Elisabeth (1589)—(Extracts, page 407), requires the petre or powder-makers to make good all damage making up all places digged or overthrown in as good perfection and state as they or any of them did find the same.\" A similar warrant, of much greater length (Extracts, page 400) was issued under the Privy Seal, in 41 Elisabeth (1599). This requires the grantee, at their own proper costs and charges to make up and repair every place \"hindered or defaced by their operations; and concludes by a clause which should satisfy those who contend for the greatest prerogative—\"notwithstanding any statute, Act of Parliament, Order, Proclamation, Ordinance, law, usage, custom, or any other matter whatsoever to the contrary.\" In the Book of Extracts there follows a warrant by King James I., and the last of the series was granted by King Charles I. on the 28th April 1629. (Extracts, page 431.) This recites that: \"At this present time, we have more than ordinary occasion to provide good and sufficient saltpetre and powder to furnish our stores for the defence and safety of our realms and dominions.\" It then grants powers to take all material fit for making saltpetre and to make the saltpetre into gunpowder and for that purpose \"to have and take workhouses for our said service, and houses and stables, outhouses and yards, of any of our subjects and therein to set up vessels and to bestow their servants, cattle, and other necessary provisions for the effecting the same our service, paying unto the owners or present possessors of such houses, barns, stables, yards, and outhouses, reasonable rents and rates for the same for the time they shall be used for our service.\" It will be noticed that this grant was not a private monopoly. It was made after the abolition of monopolies by the statute 21 James I., chapter 3. It was for the obtaining material for the defence of the realm, and the occupation of all lands and buildings was to be paid for. We were told that after the year 1665, or thereabouts, there are not...",

        "content_text": "March 25th, 1922]\n\nWhile recognising the justification for the order to shoot, we can all regret that the occasion made it necessary. That no one regrets more keenly than Mr. KING the sufferings caused by the necessities of the occasion we can well believe, but that he acted with the greatest forbearance and a full sense of his responsibility was made abundantly clear. Moreover, those who have closely followed the evidence must fully share the conviction of the Jury that at the time the shooting took place a stage had been reached when any further concession to the will of the crowd would have only resulted later in bloodshed on a far heavier scale if the law was to be eventually upheld. It is clear that the crowd set out with the deliberate intention of breaking the law; the consequences of their illegal action must therefore be accepted.\n\nGovernment undertook to consider the giving of compensation in the case of persons who had been killed or injured it went beyond any legal obligation. Now that the inquiry has terminated, the Government will, of course, fulfil the promise it made, but we hope that, instead of the word \"compensation,\" the term \"compassionate allowance\" will be used to describe any gifts that are made to the sufferers, for that term more correctly expresses the character of the gift.\n\nOne word may be added in reference to the seventh paragraph of the Jury's rider in which they refer to the extremely abnormal conditions that prevailed in the Colony at the time of the incident which, it is very appositely remarked, was closely connected with the criminal intimidation which brought about the strike. When the Jury say that they trust the Government will take such immediate steps as are necessary to prevent any repetition of such chaos, we regard this as a subtle way of expressing the opinion that the Government had failed in this respect in the instance under consideration. The same inference, we suppose, is to be drawn from the expression of a hope \"that the Chinese residents, for their part, will do all that lies in their power to assist the Government to this end with suggestions and advice.\" Many European residents have been wondering whether the Chinese residents—the men who have an important stake in the Colony—gave to the Government on this recent occasion all the advice and help that they might and should have done in their own interests as well as in the interest of the general community.\n\nWe may be quite sure that the Government have learnt many lessons from the recent strike, by which they may be expected to profit in the event of a recurrence of criminal intimidation in the Colony on such a scale; but it is to be hoped that the true lessons of the strike have been learnt by the Chinese, and that we may never again have to record any similar organised effort in the Colony to defy the authority of the Government.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nVICTORY OF THE ANTI-MUI-TSAI AGITATION.\n\n(Daily Press, March 23rd, 1922.)\n\nIt has been at last decided to abolish the mui-tsai system in Hongkong. We have never doubted that this would be the outcome of the agitation maintained in growing strength against it during the past five years. Mr. CHURCHILL, as Secretary of State for the Colonies, has made the announcement in the House of Commons, and the cable tells us it was received with \"cheers.\" These cheers testify to the general interest which has been aroused in a system which violates the British law against slavery, and has been allowed to endure in the Colony from the beginning of its history and the local Government has repeatedly defended the system as a benevolent institution.\n\nWhen the Government undertook to consider the giving of compensation... ...the voice of protest against the system has been raised locally from time to time, and the notable protest of Sir JOHN SMALE, when he was Chief Justice here, some fifty years ago, was mentioned by Mr. CHURCHILL when replying to a question in Parliament on the subject a month or two ago; but never before has a persistent agitation been maintained at home on the subject such as we have had in the last five years.\n\nAs many of our readers will recollect, the starting point of the effort which has culminated so successfully, was a case in the Supreme Court in 1917, when Mr. C. G. ALABASTER was defending a prisoner charged with having unlawfully, by fraud, enticed away two little servant girls from the custody of their mistresses. Mr. ALABASTER argued that the indictment could not stand because the lawfulness of the custody was an essential ingredient of the offence and it had been shown by the evidence that these children had been living in a state of slavery which could not be recognised in a British Colony.\n\nWe discussed in a leading article at the time the point taken by Mr. ALABASTER, and showed that the precedents in other places under the British flag supported his contention. The Chief Justice, it may be mentioned, had been spared the necessity of giving a decision on the point raised by Mr. ALABASTER, as the case against his client had failed on another issue.\n\nLieut.-Colonel JOHN WARD, M.P., the well-known Labour leader, happened to be in the Colony at the time, in command of a regiment of the garrison. He became greatly interested in this flag, and from that moment inaugurated at home an active campaign against the mui-tsai system in British territory.\n\nThere came to the Colony shortly afterwards a Naval Officer and his wife, Commander and Mrs. HASELWOOD—who also became deeply interested in the question, Mrs. HASELWOOD especially. She personally investigated the system, wrote vigorously on the subject to the local papers, and by cable and letter brought the matter to the notice of influential persons at home. Her activities seem to have so exasperated the local Government that it resorted to the most autocratic and reprehensible means of suppressing them. Because Commander HASELWOOD declined to help in this direction he was transferred from the station. He retired from the Service in consequence, on half pay, and has since devoted a good deal of time in assisting his wife to disseminate a knowledge of the mui-tsai system at home.\n\nAccording to the Census there are 8,653 mui-tsai in the Colony. The effect of the Secretary of State's decision is not necessarily to cast all these girls from their present homes, but simply to release them from conditions of service which come within the meaning of the term slavery. The great majority of them will doubtless remain as hired servants. For those who are not so retained some temporary provision will, we suppose, be made by the Government or charitable organisations.\n\nThe Census Officer in his Report on the Census taken last April remarked that the returns showed that very few young girls are employed in the Colony as hired domestic servants. The girl hired by the year, who has been suggested as a substitute for the mui-tsai, does not appear, he said, to be popular, but there are on the other hand a large number of boys between the ages of 12 and 14 employed in domestic work in Chinese households, and there were 122 young girls described as Tuk Mui, a term which in most cases denotes the same status. By a stroke of the pen the mui-tsai status will cease to be recognised, so that all the girls will acquire the status—the designation, at least—of hired domestic servants.\n\nThe mui-tsai system will not be effectually abolished by the mere issue of a proclamation. Some machinery for enforcing the order will be needed, and we await with interest the details of the scheme which is to give effect to this decision.\n\nMeanwhile it is of interest to mention the recent decision of the Chinese Government in Canton to abolish the system, and that a Judicial Commission is at present engaged in drafting regulations which are to apply when abolition is formally decreed.\n\nTHE PEARL OF THE PACIFIC.\n\nThe glories of the waltz should be quickened afresh by \"The Pearl of the Pacific,\" composed by Maud Fitz-Stubbs, better known locally as Mrs. Harry Woods. Already a popular success in Australia, following on the \"Heather\" and \"Orlando\" waltzes, by the same composer, there is every reason to believe the \"Pearl\" will soon become a favourite in dancing circles in the Colony, and beyond. The tune is not flamboyant but is simple and sweet and ideal for its purpose. The second movement, in particular, being especially tuneful.\n\nPiano-players will find this an acquisition to their dance music, and a piece that presents no difficulties to the average player. Copies can be obtained from local music-sellers.\n\nThe will of the Right Hon. Lord Mount Stephen, formerly a draper's apprentice in Aberdeen and in St. Paul's Churchyard, has been proved at £1,414,319. Estate and legacy duties amount to over £500,000. The residue on the property, estimated at £750,000, is left to the King Edward Hospital Fund.\n\nPage 301",

This equals $1,200,000.\n\nIn addition to this reserve fund and interest 30 per cent. will be placed to the special reserve fund, i.e., $791,906.97. The directors have decided to allow on each share a dividend of eight per cent, the total being $1,200,000. This together with the interest referred to above gives the shareholders 16 per cent. on their money.\n\nTHOMAS HARDY'S SECRET.\n\nCHANGE TO BE CARRIED OUT WITHIN A YEAR.\n\nLONDON, March 22nd.\n\n29\n\nBRITONS IN CHINA. A STATEMENT IN PARLIAMENT.\n\n318\n\nLONDON, March 31st.\n\nIn the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Lestrange Malone, Mr. Harmsworth said the number of British officials paid by the British Government on Foreign Office vote (Diplomatic, Consular and Commercial Diplomatic Services) and employed in China was 106. No British officials on the Foreign Office active service list were employed in the service of the Chinese Government or paid by the Government. A number of British subjects were employed and paid by the Chinese Government in the Customs, Salt, and other Departments but the details were not available.\n\nBANQUE INDUSTRIELLE.\n\nMINISTERIAL DECREE AGAINST M. PHILIPPE BERTHELOT.\n\nPARIS, March 16th. A Ministerial decree places M. Philippe Berthelot on the retired list for ten years.\n\nASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE OF KWANGTUNG AN INAUGURAL MEETING.\n\nCANTON, March 20th. An Association of the Chambers of Commerce of Kwangtung was inaugurated at Canton. The ceremony was attended by over 500 prominent men including officials, merchants, and labour leaders. Among those present were Major Sun Fo; Che Chih, Chief Secretary to President Sun; Dr. Jamieson, British Consul-General; Mr. A. H. Harris, Commissioner of Customs, Messrs. Tso Ying-pak, Fung Chih-yau, Tang Tseh-yu, Che Leung-mu, and others.\n\nMr. Woon, President of the Association, occupied the chair. A message of congratulation was read from Governor Chen Chiung-ming, and numerous congratulatory speeches were delivered.\n\nIn the House of Commons, replying to a question, Mr. Churchill, Secretary of State for the Colonies, announced that the Governor of Hongkong had reported that his Government, in consultation with the Society (Societies?) for the protection and abolition of mui-tsai, would draw up a scheme for the abolition of the system.---- (Cheers.) This would take time. Meanwhile, Mr. Churchill said he had directed the issue of a Proclamation stating that the status of mui-tsai, as existing in China, would not be recognised in Hongkong in future. Particularly, no commission for girls over twelve to leave their homes would be allowed.\n\nDr. JAMIESON, H.M.'s Consul-General, delivered a speech which was interpreted into Chinese. He dwelt upon the mutual interests of Hongkong and Canton and expressed a hope that the Association would undertake to get rid of certain old practices which were obstacles to the prosperity of business in the province.\n\nMr. HARRIS, Commissioner of Customs, addressed the gathering in Mandarin.\n\nMr. CHE CHIH, President Sun's Chief Secretary, pointed out that some of the existing Chambers of Commerce in China were not established for all merchants but for the more wealthy ones—not for the purpose of promoting commerce and industry, but for the social purposes of a few.\n\nMr. Che recommended to the officers of the Association that this organization must be made democratic so that every merchant throughout the province could have the same privilege of membership.\n\nGeneral HSU SHAO-CHING said that the Association was proposed by President Sun Yat-sen at a banquet given to the prominent merchants of the city and the President is expecting that the one in Kwangtung will set a good example so that a similar merchants' institute will be organized in other provinces when the country is unified.\n\nMayor SUN FO said there should be no division of the classes in regard to labour and capital in China. The Association of Chambers of Commerce will not only co-operate in the development of industries but encourage good feelings between businessmen and workers.\n\n[In connection with this subject the following paragraph from yesterday's Canton Times is of interest:-\n\nThe mui-tsai system was recently abolished by a Presidential proclamation, but the future occupation of the newly-freed girls has now become one of the vital questions engaging considerable attention from the women of Canton, who propose to organize as many industrial institutions as possible in which to place these \"fortunates\" and give them the necessary vocational education to enable them to earn an independent living after they have secured their freedom. Many public-spirited citizens who advocated the abolition of slave girls are in favour of the proposition, and now advocate the immediate establishment of such institutions. The necessary funds may be donated by the Government and raised from the public. Concerning the campaign of raising funds, regulations have been drawn up to be submitted to the Government for approval.”\n\n\"HONGKONG'S CHILD SLAVES.”\n\nLONDON, March 22nd.\n\nThe Daily News is gratified at the news that \"the Child Slaves in Hongkong\" are to be freed. It congratulates Mr. Churchill on the characteristic thoroughness of his announcement and the prudent measures taken to ensure the drawing up of a practical scheme for the future welfare of the liberated children.\n\nIt was seven years since Mr. Henry Arthur Jones had produced a play in London, said Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in proposing the health of the distinguished dramatist at a dinner in his honour at the Authors' Club. There was something amiss in that, continued Sir Arthur, because he had actually during that time produced then elsewhere. I hope we are not going to have another tragedy like that of Mr. Thomas Hardy,\" he added. \"For reasons which have never been clear to me, but which I believe are partially due to criticism he resented, he ceased to write the finest series of novels brought out in our generation.”",

        "content_text": "Official Report\n\n29 May 1922\n\nHONG KONG (LIEUT.-COMMANDER HASLEWOOD),\n\n44. Mr. INSKIP asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is aware that the Governor of Hong Kong requested the Naval Authorities at Hong Kong to restrain the wife of Lieut.-Commander Haslewood, then superintendent of the chart department, from advocating publicly the prohibition of the mui tsai system, and that the Commander-in-Chief thereupon tried to bring pressure to bear upon Mrs. Haslewood, through her husband, to desist from her public advocacy of a Measure which has now been substantially adopted by His Majesty's Government, as evidenced by the proclamation in Hong Kong that slavery is not allowed to exist in the British Empire and that, therefore, the mui tsai are not the property of their owners; and whether, in view of all the circumstances, the Government can make some amends both to Lieut.-Commander Haslewood and to Mrs. Haslewood.\n\nMr. CHAMBERLAIN: I had better first state the facts as far as I have been able to ascertain them. According to the Governor's report, his attention was drawn to the fact that Mrs. Haslewood was at that time conducting her campaign, which included allegations of widespread cruelty to mui tsai, in terms which gave much annoyance to the Chinese community. The Chinese have great regard for official position, and when an officer's wife, with the encouragement of her husband, made attacks of this character, the Governor considered that there was a danger that they might get the impression that the Government approved the terms which were employed, and that thus a state of ill-feeling towards the British Government would be created which would be highly undesirable, especially in view of the unsettled state of South China. A Governor is both entitled and bound to do all he can to restrain persons from acting in a manner likely to disturb the peace of the colony for which he is responsible. In these circumstances, the Governor had decided to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies to request the Admiralty to move Lieut.-Commander Haslewood to another station, but on further consideration, not wishing to damage Lieut.-Commander Haslewood's professional prospects, he communicated privately with the Commodore on the subject, suggesting that he should ask Lieut.-Commander Haslewood to restrain his wife from taking part in a public controversy affecting racial questions and customs and stirring strong and dangerous feeling in the Chinese community.\n\nThe Commodore, and subsequently the Commander-in-Chief, interviewed Lieut.-Commander Haslewood, and the Commander-in-Chief informed him that if he wished to continue his campaign, he ought to resign his official appointment in the Dockyard. In the meantime, Mrs. Haslewood was taken to hospital, and her condition was such that the doctors had the gravest doubts as to her recovery if she did not leave the Colony at once. The Commander-in-Chief accordingly informed Lieut.-Commander Haslewood that he was prepared to allow him to proceed home with his wife and to replace him in the Chart Office by another officer. Lieut.-Commander Haslewood accepted this offer, and on returning home gave as his reason for leaving the Chart Depot: \"I applied to proceed on urgent private affairs. This was approved by the Commander-in-Chief, China Station.\"\n\nLieut.-Commander Haslewood was a retired officer who had volunteered for service during the War. About the time of his leaving Hong Kong, the War being over, the Admiralty were reverting such officers to the retired list, and they were being warned in advance of the likelihood of their being relieved at an early date by active service officers as opportunity offered. The object of this warning was to give these officers as much notice as possible of the impending change. Lieut.-Commander Haslewood knew that this was the Admiralty policy at the time, though it is doubtful if the warning reached him before he left Hong Kong. It will be seen that the naval authorities acted at the request of the Governor, and the Governor seems to have shown all possible consideration in the performance of what he felt to be his duty to the Colony. Lieut.-Commander Haslewood suffered no injury to his professional career, and the Admiralty did not at any time express displeasure at his conduct.\n\nI wish to make it quite clear that there has not at any time been any suggestion that Lieut.-Commander Haslewood and Mrs. Haslewood acted from any but the highest motives.\n\nSir J. D. REES: Is not the Proclamation of the Governor in spirit a negation of the spirit of self-determination, seeing that the British are a mere handful among half a million of Chinese?\n\nPage 115",
