        "content_text": "Rank \n\nand File. \n\nFoot. \n\nCORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO \n\nThe amount of military force must depend, in some degree, upon the state of affairs in India, and the necessity which may exist for employing a larger or a smaller force upon the Burmese frontier. \n\nOf British troops, the strength of the regiments now serving in China has been increased by sending out the detachments stated in the margin; and an addi- tional regiment, the 98th, has been added to the force, together with a company of Royal Artillery. These reinforcements sailed from hence on the 20th instant, and may confidently be expected to be at Singapore by the middle of April. It is presumed that the Governor-general may be able to detach in aid of this force not less than four native regiments; and Her Majesty's Government hope that a somewhat larger force may, without inconvenience, be spared from India. \n\nI enclose a list of Her Majesty's ships now in the China Seas, in addition to which those mentioned in the Return No. 2 are either now \n\non their passage or will be immediately sent out to relieve those which are placed opposite to them in the corresponding column. \n\nThe Governor-general will perceive, by the accompanying copy of a despatch addressed by the Secretary to the Admiralty to Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, that the Admiral is authorized to detain, for a limited period, any or all of the relieved ships, in case the exigencies of the service should appear to require it. \n\nYour Lordship will, doubtless, cause the Governor-general to be informed of the period, as stated in your letter of this day, at which the Memnon and Acbar steamers may be expected; and as Lord Auckland has found it necessary to recall two of the Honourable Company's steamers to the coast of India, I have directed the Admiralty to replace them by Her Majesty's steam-vessels Vixen and Geyser, which are fitting out with all expedition. \n\nThe collective force thus assembled will, it is hoped, be sufficiently formidable to effect, in the course of 1842, the objects which Her Majesty's Government seek to obtain. For the reasons above stated, I forbear to enter into any detail of the course which should be adopted. Her Majesty's Government rely, with entire confidence, upon the Governor-general for giving the directions\" which will be necessary, in the first instance, for the execution of the objects which I have above indicated, and, with equal confidence, upon the exercise of the discretion with which it is necessary that they should intrust him for modifying the views which they are at present led to take, should unforeseen circumstances render such an alteration of their original plans, in his judgment, necessary or desirable. \n\nI have to request that your Lordship will have the goodness to cause this despatch, with its enclosures, to be communicated in the usual manner to the Governor-general of India. \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nNo. 2. \n\nRETURN of Ships ordered out to the East Indies, with the Names of the Ships they are intended to relieve. \n\nGuns. \n\n36 Cambrian \n\nGuos \n\n44 Druid. 26 Herald. \n\n26 Conway. \n\n26 Calliope. \n\nto relieve \n\n42 Thalia \n\n>> \n\n26 North Star \n\n18 Dido \n\n16 Hazard \n\n18 Modeste. \n\n\" \n\n16 Siren \n\n18 Favorite. \n\n16 Harlequin \n\n18 Larne. \n\n18 Hyacinth. \n\nTroop-ships. \n\n16 Serpent \n\nBelleisle Apollo Sapphire Vixen Geyser \n\nSteam-vessels intended to be sent. \n\n-No. 16.- \n\nCopy of a LETTER from Sir John Barrow to Vice-Admiral Sir \n\nSir, \n\nWilliam Parker. \n\nAdmiralty, 22 November 1841. \n\nNo. 16. \n\nI AM commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint Sir John Barrow to you that, although the several ships their Lordships are sending out to the Sir W.

        "content_text": "The Dispatch letter above referred to.\n\nand\n\naddi\n\n18.\n\nŝi and comparatively safe conditions, a vent under worst conditions would have been the result of inaction, it is very probable that, as a member of the Social Science Association, he might have subscribed to a remonstrance of the kind sent to the Secretary of State.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONG KONG, Oct. 20, 1868.\n\n1. The attention of his Excellency Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell has been recently called to a memorial addressed by the Standing Committee of the Social Science Association to his Grace the Secretary of State for the Colonies, praying that an immediate stop should be put to the system adopted here of permitting gambling in certain houses licensed by Government and subject to police surveillance.\n\n2. In paragraph 5 of that memorial, the following passage occurs:-- \"Since the summer of 1866, when the first Ordinance was passed, the farms had been created by the local authorities, put up by them to sale, and granted to the highest bidder.\"\n\n3. That assertion is not merely incorrect, but is even totally opposed to all the details fully given in a series of despatches which must have been at the time before the committee, because they allude to and quote from them. The Governor, therefore, is persuaded that the committee will at once ensure to this contradiction as wide a publicity as to the original misstatement.\n\nIt is possible under such circumstances that, like those who committed the mistake, he might have regarded the policy pursued at Heligoland and Baden, and here, as identical. Gambling, he might have reflected, is permitted at all those places, and a revenue results therefrom in each. Such a policy is indispensable at Baden and Heligoland, where unnecessary suffering would otherwise occur or at least decline. Therefore, he might perhaps have argued it is equally indefensible at Hong Kong. Nevertheless, no one here would pretend that there is the remotest chance of the vice of gambling being diminished by the suppression of the licensed houses, as would be the case at Baden. It would simply become more widespread and require more police interference, however little, there would inevitably be more extended corruption and consequent insecurity to the community.\n\n4. It is true that the mischief caused by circulating an incorrect version of actual facts, especially when so framed as to support the argument of those who use such a weapon, seldom admits of any adequate reparation. No acknowledgment of such wrongful proceeding, particularly as must be the case here, when not extracted till months subsequently, and perhaps after the close of the discussion affected thereby, can undo the mischief which it may have caused. Nevertheless, the right of the party misrepresented to require even inadequate reparation is indisputable.\n\n5. In the present case, it must be conceded that this Government has been most completely misrepresented on the very point as to which it was easiest and most unfair to excite popular prejudice. To speak of this Government as selling the licences in question to the \"highest bidder\" is to imply that it was animated by a sordid motive of greed.\n\n6. Such a statement is a very extraordinary misrepresentation of facts recorded in documents to which the committee refer and had access. All Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell's despatches in connection with the subject to the end of last April were before the committee, having been presented to the House of Lords last June.\n\n7. It would be idle to repeat here the various details given in those despatches as to the anxiety of this Government to deal with a great public evil without reference to the question of revenue. The committee can refer to them if they wish, but I am instructed to beg their special attention to paragraph 8 in Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell's despatch (No. 439) of the 30th of last January, as follows:---\n\n\"Your Grace, however, is sufficiently aware that this Government has not been swayed by any desire of gain. On the contrary, I have never written a despatch in which I have not regretted that a policy justified by necessity should be encumbered with any pecuniary gain, for the latter affords to opponents of that policy an opportunity to impute to myself and my council motives the reverse of those by which we are animated. If mere addition of revenue had been our object, I should not have accepted $52,000 dols. as the annual licence fee instead of upwards of $60,000 dols., which was actually offered, nor would I have gradually reduced the original $60,000 dols. to $04,000 dols., at which it stands during the present month.\"\n\n8. The above plain statement completely disproves the assertion of the committee that, since 1866, the licences \"had been put up to sale and granted to the highest bidder,\" and I am now further instructed to add that not merely had $60,000 dols. been declined, but that by consecutive reductions, the licence fees had been lowered till a few weeks back they reached only $56,000 dols.\n\nEven that reduction was less than his Excellency had hoped to effect, for as more fully explained in his recent financial statement to the Legislative Council, an extract from which is appended hereto, he was prepared (Par. 19) to make any reduction necessary to compensate the licensees for excluding all but Chinese from the play houses--a reform now most effectually carried out.\n\n10. Reasons alluded to in the accompanying appendix, and more fully explained in the Governor's communications to the Secretary of State, have produced for the moment the unexpected result of an increase of licence fees just as the frequenters of the licensed houses were diminished.\n\nThe licences beyond the amount necessary to work the system as a strictly police measure, a motive which it is not pretended to adduce in favour of licensing gaming in Europe.\n\n14. Again, only natives, who are practically beyond the reach of the law, are allowed to cater to the licensed houses, and unless it be shown that Europeans are similarly excluded at Heligoland, and that gaming is only permitted there to an overwhelming majority of Orientals, or strangers coming and going in numbers exceeding 600,000 every year, and that it is only allowed \"because they cannot otherwise be efficiently reached by the police,\" no parallel is established between that place and Hong Kong.\n\n15. Finally, to complete such a parallel, it would be further necessary to show that the authorities at Heligoland had been exerting themselves as here from the first to keep down any revenue accruing from the licences.\n\n16. It may therefore be as well to speak frankly and declare at once that the only argument in the memorial of the committee which seems to his Excellency deserving of notice is their suggestion (par. 9) that the authorities here have not as yet so exhausted the direct means at their disposal for the suppression of gambling as to justify a departure from the general principles of penal jurisprudence elsewhere.\n\n17. It is difficult to imagine where the committee got their information as to the entire suppression of gambling in Chinese cities by laws establishing tithings and hundreds, &c. Gambling has been now and then stopped in a particular place for a short time by high officials, who were guided sometimes by upright and sometimes by corrupt motives, such as that of raising the toll on an illegal luxury. This, however, has been done by extreme severity, such as razing houses to the ground and torturing the landlords, measures to which, it is true, this Government has never yet resorted.\n\n18. At this moment, the police system inaugurated by his Excellency amongst the Chinese--an institution quite apart from that of the colony--is working admirably, but the last thing which a resident here could dream of would be the handing over to any Chinese, whether in tithings, hundreds, or otherwise than as parties directly and openly interested therein like the licensees, the slightest control over their gambling brethren.\n\n19. His Excellency is unable to follow the reasoning of the committee in the other portions of par. 9 of their Memorial because he can only state as the general result of the most determined efforts on the part of himself and all his subordinates that, whatever might have been the varying nature of his expectations from time to time, he has long been convinced of the impossibility of putting down gambling by any police which it is possible to procure here, or even with the best police in the world, if they could be procured, and were stationed six deep here.\n\n20. Sooner than recur to the infamous past, his Excellency would prefer legalising gambling of all descriptions in the colony, which is the only alternative that he thinks practicable, but he has steadily declined to bear a part voluntarily in continuing the sham which the committee unwillingly recommend.\n\n11. It is perhaps superfluous now to accumulate further evidence of the inaccuracy into which the Social Science Committee have fallen as to a matter of fact when they represented this Government as selling the licence monopoly to \"the highest bidder.\" The Governor, however, wishes to record at the same time his conviction of the excellent objects of the committee and of the general body which they represent.\n\n12. The personal feelings and sympathies of his Excellency are entirely with the committee, and had he never visited China, nor been compelled by his duty to this community to deal on the spot with the unquestioned and real evils arising from the inordinate love of gambling of the native population here, and the absolute necessity for checking it.\n\nThe appendix alluded to consists of paragraphs 12 to 22 of the Governor's Financial Statement for 1869.\n\n21. It is easy for the latter to say that the honest policy now followed detracts from the free and noble institutions of the colony, \"which were one day to stand as a model to work the regeneration of the Chinese Empire.\" Do the committee seriously think that the shrewd natives of China respected this Government a whit more, either for its intelligence or its efficiency, when the laws of the colony merely rendered an irrepressible vice more dangerous and odious, whilst it brought to light the venality of the paid guardians of the law?\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364",

The Colony was at that time infested by a gang of desperate characters from the Chinese Mainland. But owing to the energetic efforts made to strengthen the Police Force, a great reduction in the graver descriptions of crime became soon apparent, and the Return for 1892 shows that in that year 89 persons were tried at the Supreme Court, of whom 52 were convicted and 37 acquitted, and although the Return shows 7 cases of Highway Robbery, only 1 prisoner was convicted of Murder, 1 was convicted of Burglary, and there has been none of Piracy. There has been a steady decrease in crime ever since, owing to the great addition recently made to the strength of the Police Force.",

No scheme has been formulated as the extensive Public Works at present proposed will tax the resources of the Colony for four or five years. But if the expansion of the City goes on at its present rate the question of a bridge, or of an improved ferry system will ere long become pressing.\n\n3. On the 4th September, 1901, I addressed a letter to Vice-Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge on the subject, a copy of which with his reply I enclose.\n\n4. The bridge will, according to the rough estimate of the Harbour Master, cost Nine Millions of Dollars. When the scheme comes to be formulated the question may fairly be considered whether a contribution might not be given by the Imperial Government equal to the value of the Colonial and Military Land taken by the Imperial Government for Naval purposes in 1896 without compensation to the Colony, which pays in addition 20% of its gross revenue as a Military Contribution.

C. T'ang Shao-yi eventually proposed that the question be left in abeyance pending discussion of the price of the Loan.\n\nArticle XIII. H. C. T'ang Shao-yi stated that the Chinese Government was about to issue new regulations in regard to Government railways stipulating for payment of Maritime Customs duty on importations of material; the exemption arrangements heretofore in force could therefore not be applied in the present case: under the conditions of the present contract, however, the matter would not affect the bondholders. With the omission of the reference to Customs duty, the Article was agreed to.\n\nH. C. T'ang Shao-yi in adjourning the meeting stated that owing to pressure of other business he could not appoint a date for these negotiations earlier than Thursday the 18th instant. It was agreed, however, that with a view to expediting business at the next meeting, Mr. Bland should continue the revision of the draft with the Canton Viceroy's deputies, reserving for discussion all points of disagreement.\n\n(Signed) J.

At the utmost 3 or 4 only were legitimate criticisms. The animus with which the list had been drawn up was manifest: to make it as long as possible in order to carry out the sarcasm of the heading.\n\nAnnexed to Mr Severn's letter was also a memo. from the Treasurer containing some criticisms, most of which were erroneous. As to the letter itself the hostile spirit which actuated it was manifested by the piling up one on top of the other the errors which I knew of and those which had been alleged but not inquired into. Further it laid to my charge the mistake of omitting the Railways Loan Ordinance which was omitted on the authority of Government itself. But piled together in this reckless way it made a famous list on which to frame the indictment of inaccuracy. But apart from this the letter was wanting in the most elementary courtesy. There was no occasion to play Bombastes; on the contrary, having in view the position of the author and the circumstances in which the work had been done, and the magnitude of it, it was essentially a case in which the greatest consideration ought to have been shown. The mistakes were regrettable; no one regretted them more than I, as I had shewn by withdrawing the Volumes in order that they might be corrected. The course which courtesy and gentlemanly feeling demanded was, not to jump into the breach and brandish a wooden sword, but to point out that it was impossible for the Council to approve the Volumes until they had been corrected and to request me to correct them; a course which not only I was bound to, but should have agreed to without demur. I was not a Chinese contractor who had done work badly and insisted on its being accepted, but I was treated like one, and a hostility displayed at once which was entirely out of place. For instance, Mr Clementi asked me \"how I accounted for the mistake in the Official Signatures Ordinance?\" There was no question of \"accounting\"; it was a mistake, and one which could have been easily rectified. Another instance of this hostility was the attempted Mr Clementi that the Railways Loan Ordinance had been printed as a slip which is a fact after consultation with the Colonial Secretary's Office, The mistake about the slip was that the printers had omitted a page number, but this could have been put straight by hand-stamping.\n\none,\n\ndenial by",

        "content_text": "## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nI admit, and it may probably be said that their labours. It is making a farce of we have a very satisfactory number of the thing to ask women to undertake more nurses, and cannot afford any more. work than they can possibly carry out, That is a debateable point. I think we and then turn round and say, can and we ought to. That is not the our nursing staff, as good as any other question. As to the number of nurses, we Colony of the same size has, and you have to deal with a population of so must be satisfied.\" That is not the way many hundreds of thousands of people. I to look at it. I think the Government The point is that we require trained should take the whole community fully nurses from Home, not local probationers into their confidence. Let us discuss this who, as we know, are practically of little question, not in a hostile spirit, but work- use for certainly many months after they ing for the best results to the Colony, first take office. We are prepared to pay and I am quite sure, Sir, that any reason- anything in reason for this necessity-not able proposition your Excellency puts luxury, absolute necessity; exactly in the before us we shall be glad to accept. We same way as wireless, which was unknown do consider, in the first place, that the a few years ago, is now an absolute neces- staff should be increased, and, if that is sity to modern shipping. If it can be not possible, that the work of the nurses proved to the satisfaction of the Colony should be decreased. that we cannot afford more nurses, that we have got to rest content with the small staff we have, then I can only say that the whole reorganisation of the work of that staff should be considered. We be lieve we are amply justified in stating that these good ladies are greatly over- worked. We know the number of patients who are treated in the hospitals, and we know the number of nurses, and we quite realise that they cannot possibly satis- factorily grapple with the amount of work they are supposed to do.\n\nNow, I am not speaking without special know- ledge. It has been my fate to have had very considerable experience of nurses and nursing homes. I spent many months at two very well-known nursing homes in London, where women were constantly relieved, undertaking comparatively few cases, and some of them only single cases. They were working night and day under my personal observation, and I know that, even, under the most favourable con- ditions, the work was so arduous that they constantly required recreation. The nurses here have other things to contend with. They have a tropical climate, suffer troubles, illnesses and petty annoyances in the way of prickly heat and so forth, which they would escape at Home. This is all added to the fact that they are deal- ing with a great number of cases at the same time: I believe I am right in say ing, far too many cases, and the holidays are, comparatively speaking, few and far between.\n\nI maintain that the Govern- ment have no right to work their em- ployees to such an extent, certainly not ladies, delicate women engaged in an arduous profession and in a hostile climate. It is wrong, absolutely wrong, and if you cannot see your way to in- crease the staff, then you must reduce the work.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-Gentlemen, I am sorry I cannot accept this motion for a very simple reason. The number of recommendations to increase the staff which are forwarded every month in the year to the Governor by each department are very numerous, and if I were to appoint a committee to inquire into each one of these with which I did not agree, well, the busy time of unofficial members of this Council, and of civilians outside Government departments who apparently desire to sit on such committees, would be occupied to an extraordinary extent.\n\nNow, it is the rule of the Government service that if the head of a department wants an increase of staff he sends for- ward a recommendation, backed by solid facts, in time for provision to be made in the estimates of the succeeding year after there has been time to get the sanc- tion of the Secretary of State to the increase in the personnel. This recom mendation was made in the middle of last summer, beyond the time which I have stated. When you come to examine the facts set out in the answers to the questions of the hon. member you are faced with the conclusion that there has been no great increase of cases treated in the hospitals; extensions to hospitals of any material size; nothing to indicate why, suddenly, in the middle of the year 1913, it is considered necessary to increase the staff of the hospitals.\n\nThere have been many able heads of the Medical Department. Dr. Atkinson him- self was the man who introduced the Nursing Staff from Home. For several years before he left the Colony the staff stood as it is now. He never made any recommendations for an increase. Therefore, when I received the recommenda- tion, backed as it was by officers of the department but that is nothing extra- ordinary, for some heads of departments are only too ready to recommend increases in their staff-it was not surprising that I should consider it necessary that some justification should be given me for such an increase.\n\nI considered that an increase in the probationers' staff would be sufficient. I made that decision on the 11th August, and left the Colony on leave on the following day. Probably, if I had remained here, and it had been represent- ed to me that it was difficult to get pro- bationers, then I might have made some other disposition. As it was, remarks made by the hon. member who represents the Chamber of Commerce when the Estimates were under consideration were brought to my notice when I returned. I inquired whether probationers had been obtained, and as they had not, then I proceeded to thoroughly investigate the conditions of the staff.\n\nWell, the conclusion I arrived at was that while the staff was absolutely adequate for the work it has to do, there was no provision for absences during leave. That is in accordance with the policy of this Government; no de- partment is supplied with extra members of the staff, and in addi- tion there is a staff of coolies to do the housemaid work, so the plea of overwork won't hold water. I also found a matter which had not been, but required to be, dealt with, and to which I had myself drawn attention before I went on leave; that was the treatment of maternity cases by nurses from general wards. That is a point which ought to be remedied.\n\nTaking these two points into consideration, I came to the conclusion since the last meeting of the Council that I would re commend to the Secretary of State an increase of three sisters as a temporary measure pending further investigation as to the disposition of the staff. One of these nurses has been engaged, and we are looking for two more. I trust that that information will be satisfactory to hon. members, and it seems to render quite unnecessary the elaborate committee which they wish to have appointed.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-Does your Ex- cellency mean three sisters in addition to the one coming out at the end of June to supply the vacancy of one of the sisters who got married?\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY- Yes, and I think it would be useful if I just say a word about the work of these sisters. I have the greatest sympathy for them. I have suffered a great deal myself: I passed perhaps eight years of my life in bed when a boy, being nursed, so I know what good nursing means. Now, these sisters here do eight hours' duty out of the twenty-four; that is to say, they have sixteen hours of leisure. At the London Hospital the nurse on day duty goes on at 7 in the morning and remains on duty till 9.30 p.m., with an interval of three hours off duty out of that time, and the nurse on night duty is on for twelve hours at a spell. In addition, the nurs- ing staff at the London Hospital do the whole of what I may call the menial services; they have no other help or assis- tance of any kind, they have to wash the patients, make the beds, deal with slops, bed pans, etc., carry food and medicines; in fact everything is done by the nursing staff with the exception of scrubbing floors, cleaning stoves, making fires and washing crockery.\n\nNow, the sisters here are assisted by no less than 22 ward boys and amahs, and in the Maternity Hospital by five amahs. The whole of the drudgery work is done by this part of the staff...\n\nThere is another point I would like to mention, and that is, that as far as I can make out there is not any hospital in any Crown Colony of the size of the Civil Hospital that has the same amount of European nursing staff. I have been in the Colony of Fiji, which has a very large medical department, and certainly we had nothing like the white staff there. The same obtains in Ceylon, and in Singapore and the Straits Settlements. The Empire of India would be ruined if they tried to run their hospitals the way we run ours.\n\nTherefore I have been forced to the conclusion that some reorganisation is necessary. I am going to make, with the approval of the Secretary of State, an increase in the staff for the specific purposes mentioned, but I would inform hon. members that in my opinion we must place a limit to the number of sisters doing the ordinary work of the hospital. It is not at all necessary that the 'hildar pirates should have the tender care of white nurses; something less expensive ought to be good enough for them.\n\nThe hon. member who proposed the resolution took some exception to the answers to these questions. Really I cannot understand why. I took a good deal of trouble and why.\n\nPage 557",

It has been taxed with the \n\nutmost liberality, the profit costs being allowed at $17,000. \n\n(sd.) Hugh A.

Jordan of the 13 Sep. 1911, a copy of which was enclosed in the letter from the F.O. of the 4 Nov. 1911.\n\n(2) While it is certainly the case that there has been a change of attitude on the part of the Govt. of H. Kong towards the taxation of salt, other considerations which led the col. Govt. to re-open the negotiation in 1915-16 have gradually ceased to operate; e.g. (a) the pressing need for addl. revenue; (b) the expectation that the Peking Govt. might in the near future again control Kuangtung; and (c) the hope that the Convention, or parts of it, could be put into force at an early date. It was not, however, until 1918-19 that the vexatious delays of the Chinese Govt. gave the Govt. of H. Kong an opportunity for reconsideration, and withdrawal.\n\n(Signed) G.

Measures would also be considered to reduce the necessity for seeking the prior approval of the Education Department for details of a school's expenditure. The Bishop was quite prepared to permit the scrutiny of school accounts as a whole and to suffer a reduction of grant if, in the opinion of Government, the scrutiny disclosed that as a result of there being no limitation in the amount of school subscriptions, the school was receiving too much money. In short, the Bishop was prepared to accept a reduction of grant but not a limitation of the amount of money which he could collect as school subscriptions. The Bishop was prepared for a representative of the Education Department to be added to the different Boards of Managers.\n\nLidia Raisa\n\n27th September, 1948.\n\nThe\n\nPage 40\n\nPage 41",

So far as the British Section's claim is concerned, no difficulties arise over Items 1 and 2 which are agreed at the figures claimed and The War Office have added two further items which were not included in the claim and are shown in the attached statement in Addl. Items.\n\nThey are however unable to admit Item 3, which, as it stands, includes an unspecified amount for the manufacture of missing parts necessary for the fabrication of the 600 40-ton wagons, materials for which were requisitioned from the Chinese. It would appear from two telegrams TNS/76308 and TNS/76307 of 26th June 1941 from C.in.C. Middle East to G.O.C. Hong Kong and C. in. C. India respectively, copies of which I attach, that instructions were given for the manufacture of deficient material in Hong Kong, and that buffers and drawhooks were made in India where fabrication of the wagons was also to be carried out.\n\nEnd 2+3 44 and 5 (copies of telegrams enclosed at Encl 4).\n\nAs you will see from the enclosure to a letter dated 16th October 1941 addressed by the War Supplies Board, to the Director-General of Transportation at Cairo, a copy of which I attach, it does not appear that in fact any significant quantity of missing parts were manufactured in or supplied from Hong Kong.\n\nIn these circumstances and in the absence of other evidence in support of Item 3 of the British Section's claim, the War Office recommend settlement as traced.\n\nThe only evidence, deficient material by thrung Komp is evolines there (copy of letter evt. at (1)).\n\n \n·(11)",

He himself retired in 1936 leaving a brother and a co-director, Mr. F.J. Fountain, to carry on. Both these gentlemen were captured in Hong Kong and were interned in Hong Kong by the Japanese.\n\nAt the time when Hong Kong fell Messrs. Anderson had fifty or sixty pianos which represented their principal capital. It seems that all these were shipped to Japan and the shop was turned into a Japanese prison.\n\nMr. Anderson, who is now aged seventy-five, has still to gain his livelihood as he has lost all his money in Hong Kong.\n\nI should be grateful if you could indicate how long it is likely to be before a settlement for losses of this description is made. I should also be much obliged for any special enquiries you may institute in the matter.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nNiall\n\nMacpherson.\n\nThe Secretary of State for Colonies,\n\nHouse of Commons,\n\nLONDON.",
