If (a) and (b) are not practicable suggestions\n\nthere remains (c), viz:- divide the construction work into two\n\nparts, one under the American Company and the other under the\n\nBelgians such division to be defined and approved by the Director-\n\nGeneral.\n\nIn my humble opinion the reason why the\n\nconcession of the Canton-Hankow Line was given to the Americans\n\nlay in the fact that America has never given China any trouble,\n\nand would never attempt to weaken China's sovereignty in the con-\n\ntrol of this railway. Its Government is strong and can be used if\n\nnecessary against aggression by the Belgians and French on the\n\nLu Han Line. This is no doubt your own views. If the American\n\nCompany surrenders its concession to the Belgians there will be\n\nendless troubles and people will say that both the Northern and\n\nSouthern trunk lines must fall into the hands of the Russian and\n\nFrench. Therefore proposal (a) cannot be accepted. With regard\n\nto (c) and the division of the railway, it seems on the surface\n\nto be a fair way of dealing with the shareholders of the two\n\nnationalities and calculated to prevent trouble. It is, however,\n\nthe American Company which has entered into the contract (with us)\n\nand when the American sold their share they never notified us; now\n\neach side wants to obtain more power. This is certainly a matter\n\nwhich must be settled by the shareholders themselves; it is not\n\npossible for us to recognise the Belgian shares; therefore propo-\n\nsal (c) appears to require careful consideration. As to (b), viz:-\n\nthat only American and no other nationality will be recognised as\n\nentitled to exclusive control of the construction work, it is, I\n\npresume, workable and in accordance with the agreement.
