        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH\n\n### Aug. 13, 1867\n\n**CANTON MARKET REPORT**\n\nFine, 30 to 40 taels, short; sales, 11,976 chests. Oolongs: Common to good cargo, 20 to 28 taels, short; fine, 30 to 33 taels, short; sales, 22,300 half-chests. Flowery Pekoes: Common to medium, no sales; fine to finest, no sales. Scented Teas: Common to medium, 18 taels, short; fine to finest, 28 to 36 taels, short; sales, 15,656 boxes.\n\nCANTON-Country Congous: Three chops have been taken at from Tls. 17 to 18, leaving a stock of 54 chops or 3,764 pkgs. Although musters of a few chops of the new crop have arrived, it would be premature as yet to express any opinion concerning them. Country Greens remain unnoticed. Canton-made Teas: Considerable settlements have taken place both in Scented Orange Pekoes and Scented Capers; prices have been somewhat irregular, but as a rule they are tending upwards. Canton Congou of new make has received rather more than usual attention, and Gunpowders have been inquired for to a moderate extent. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Tea Type | Price (Tls.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Country Congou | 17 to 18 |\n| Canton Congou (new make) | 24 to 27 |\n| Young Hyson | 22 |\n| Scented Orange Pekoe | 23 to 32 |\n| Scented Caper | 13.5 to 29 |\n| Gunpowder | 20 to 27 |\n\nElls and Lastings show a slight improvement in price, a slight demand having arisen for these goods; Long Ells continue very scarce. Metals: Lead continues firm, as a Canton demand still continues; other metals remain much as before reported. Coals continue firm; a cargo of 1,100 tons Bristol Channel Coal has been sold at 16 dols. per ton ex ship.\n\n**SHANGHAI MARKET REPORT**\n\nThe market has somewhat improved; the arrival of the steamer from Tientsin having given an impetus to several articles-any improvement in that market acts favourably on prices here. Grey Shirtings are in fair demand, and holders not forcing sales, prices are steady at quotations; best Eagles 8 lbs. 4 oz. tls. 2.00. T-Cloths: A little lower for inferior makes, but best goods still wanted; of these there are but few. White Shirtings are quite neglected; Drills in better inquiry and prices rather firmer. Woollens: Long Ells. 7.95 for H.H. assorted, and 7.20 for C.P.II.; Scarlet do not maintain their value of a fortnight since. Camlets: A few sales of favourite colours are reported at fair prices, but ordinary assortments continue very dull of sale. Spanish Stripes: 1.H. have been sold at 65 cents per yard; the demand is not active, and in other woollens there is no new feature. Metals: There is little change to note; buyers have fairly supplied themselves; stocks have not been increased, and prices remain about the same; Nail Rod, for best brands, tls. 2.50 to 2.55 per picul. Coals: Stocks have been increased by the vessels named as arrived from Sydney, and the cargo of the Lady Alice from Nagasaki. Quotations: Cardiff, from ships' side, tls. 15, N. Wales, tls. 14, nominal; English, s. 14 to 15, nominal; Anthracite, tls. 13 to 13.50, nominal sales, to arrive, at tls. 13.25.\n\n**YOKOHAMA MARKET REPORT**\n\nA decided improvement is noticeable in Grey Shirtings and Cotton Yarn, and a good business, both on the spot and to arrive, has been done in both staples at a slight advance on our last quotations. Stocks of Yarn are very light. We have to notice a contract just concluded for 156 bales, to be delivered in six weeks, at the following rates:-\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 16 to 24 | $3.68 |\n| 28 to 32 | $3.70 |\n| 38 to 42 | $3.78 |\n\nA fair inquiry has commenced for Chintzes and other light summer goods, and it is worth notice that, in consequence of rumours that the French contracts for Black Cloth will be annulled, this article is again saleable, and a slight demand has sprung up. Most other Woollens continued quite inactive, a forced sale of Camlets S.S at $15.50 being the only transaction calling for remark. In Metals, more business is doing; a demand existing for hoop and Nail Rod Iron and bead, and some improvement in prices is apparent.\n\n## CHINA EXPORTS\n\n### TEA\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nThe new season has been opened by the arrival of about 700 piculs of medium and good medium teas, the bulk of which was bought to complete the cargo of the Benefactress for New York, at an unnecessarily high figure: say from 27.50 to 30 dollars. The quality of this first sample is not satisfactory, but considerable arrivals are now daily expected, when we shall have fair opportunities of judging of the character of the new crop. The remaining stock of last season's tea is about 2,000 piculs, and quite unsaleable. We give no quotations, therefore, for any but the kinds at which, as we have stated, business has been done.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nBlack.--A small inquiry has sprung up during the past few days for the new Ningchows and Hohows, and as much as Tls. 24.0.0 has been paid for a chop of each kind. Settlements have been light, but a very large amount of reshipments have taken place. The rates paid for the finest Teas are about equivalent to those ruling at the opening of last season, but fair and medium are obtainable at somewhat easier prices. \n| Category | Quantity (Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 3,700 |\n| Reshipments on owners' account | 68,400 |\n| Stock | 26,500 |\n\nQuotations.-Hobow, fine to finest, 32 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Congou, common, 23 to 28 tls. per pcl.; Ningchow, fair to finest, 29 to 34 tls. per pcl.; Pouchong, 29 tls. per pcl. Green. Only two chops of common Tea have been settled during the fortnight at Tls. 23.5.0, and the season is nearly closed. \n| Category | Quantity (Half-Chests) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Settlements for the fortnight | 415 |\n| Stock | 5,000 |\n\n#### HANKOW\n\nThe business of the fortnight has been exceptionally large, and shipments continue on an enormous scale. Two settlements of finest Teas have been made at full rates, while medium to fine have advanced in value early Tls. 2.0.0. At the same time sales have been somewhat irregular. Quotations were-Oopacks and Congou-kais, medium to good, Tls. 24.0.0 to 29.5.0; finest, Tls. 30.0.0 to 31.5.0 Oonams, fair to fine, Tls. 19.0.0 to 24.5.0. \n| Category | Quantity |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 11,591,467 lbs. |\n| Export of Tea from 1st January to 15th June, 1866 | 7,414,926 lbs. |\n| Increase, 1867 | 4,176,541 lbs. |\n| Stocks | 29,000 chests |\n\n#### KIIKIANG\n\nBlack Teas: About 25,000 packages are to hand. With the exception of the purchase of two small chops at tls. 26.0.0 nothing was done on the market till the 11th, when six full chops of finest Ningchows found buyers at tls. 25.5.0 to 28.0.0 per picul, and since that date little has been doing. \n| Category | Quantity (Packages) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Export from 1st January to 15th June, 1867 | 15,097 |\n| Export for the same months of 1866 | 17,106 |\n| Decrease, 1867 | 2,009 |\n| Stock | 30 chops |\n\n#### FOOCNOW\n\nCongou: The price for the finer descriptions has continued firmly supported during the past fortnight; the rates for the commoner grades, which were slightly easier after the departure of the last mail, have advanced to about the former scale, in consequence of the demand for Australia. Souchong: The teas, being generally of good quality, have been freely taken for shipment to the United Kingdom; a large proportion of this description is more or less \"tarry.\" Oolongs: Full prices have been paid for these kinds, but rates are now slightly easier; the demand for America has not yet commenced. Scented Teas: Those at first offered were deficient in scent, the flowers being very backward; the teas have in many instances, however, commanded full prices; those now coming forward are better scented. \n| Tea Type | Sales (Chests) | Price (Taels) |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Congou: Dust and broken leaf kinds | ... | 8 to 9, short |\n| Congou: Ordinary common | ... | 10 to 14, short |\n| Congou: Light flavoury | ... | 19 to 24, short |\n| Congou: Good flavoury to medium Kysow kinds | ... | 25 to 32, short |\n| Congou: Fine Kysow kinds | ... | 32 to 40, short |\n| Congou | 31,326 | ... |\n\n### SILK\n\n#### YOKOHAMA\n\nBusiness has, of course, been on a very small scale during the fortnight. The exhaustion of our stock is sufficient to account for this, even with the general suspension of home orders, consequent on the fear of war and uncertainty regarding the new European crop. Stocks do not exceed 250 piculs, chiefly of mixed, low kinds.\n\n#### SHANGHAI\n\nDuring the past fortnight considerable transactions have taken place at higher rates, and the settlements are estimated at fully 4,000 bales: making a total of 5,700 bales since the 1st June. The demand has been chiefly for chops and good silks, and lower grades would have been bought at comparatively cheaper rates.\n\n#### CANTON\n\nAfter the arrival of the English mail with rumours that the total yield of the Continental crop would be much smaller than that of last year a good demand for fine silk sprung up. Quotations are as follows:-\n| Silk Type | Price (Dols.) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Loongkong, No. 1 | 560 to 566 |\n| Loongkong, No. 2 | 545 to 550 |\n| Kowkong | 500 to 510 |\n| Rec'd Cumchuck | 595 to 600 |\n\n## SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE\n\n### ARRIVALS\n\n| Port | Ship | Origin | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hong Kong | Helen | Newcastle | June 16 |\n| Hong Kong | Princess | Cardiff | 23 |\n| Hong Kong | Stuart Wortley | Clyde (via Singapore) | 27 |\n| Hong Kong | Tai-wang (steamer) | ... | 21 |\n\n### DEPARTURES\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination | Date |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Hankow | Challenger | London | June 17 |\n| Hankow | Ada | London | 19 |\n| Shanghai | Gossamer | London | 18 |\n| Shanghai | Whinfell | London | 21 |\n| Foochow | Flying Spur | London | 9 |\n| Foochow | Black Prince | London | 10 |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | Ajax (str.) | London | 27 |\n\n## VESSELS LOADING\n\n| Port | Ship | Destination |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | Havelock | New York |\n| Shanghai | Isles of the South | London |\n| Shanghai | Elmstone | London |\n| Foochow | Chusan | London |\n\n## FREIGHTS AND CHARTERS\n\n| Port | Route | Freight Rate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Yokohama | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Yokohama | To New York | £2 10s. to £3 |\n| Shanghai | To London | £3 to £3 10s. per ton |\n| Foochow | To London | £3 10s. per ton |\n| Hong Kong and Canton | To London | 43s. per ton |\n\n## MISCELLANEOUS\n\nThe P.M.S.S. Co.'s steamer Costa Rica reports having left New York April 1st, and arrived in St. Vincent on the 15th. Left again 21st after coaling, and proceeded to Capetown, arriving there May 11th.\n\n**STOKEN**\n\n| Ship | Route | Date | Position |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Englishman | Liverpool to Hong Kong | June 30 | 10 N., 36 W. |\n| Maria | Batavia to Middleburg | July 18 | 37 N., 38 W. |\n\n**CASUALTIES**\n\nThe Pieter Adolf, Jaski, which arrived at Batavia from London, May 26, had sustained damage in her cargo, having been struck by seas, when much water got into the cabin, &c.\n\n## THE GUNBOATS IN CHINA\n\nThe gunboats are in excellent order, and in the highest state of discipline. Their commanders were looking forward with anxiety for the arrival of the new Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir H.

        "content_text": "received not only in England, but in India, and in the British colonies; wherever, in fact, I have met Englishmen, I have met nothing but courtesy, hospitality, and good will to myself and my country. As you have said, I am about to leave the British and pass into the Chinese Empire. I have met no gentlemen so kind as the gentlemen of England. For this reception, more especially for the reception in Hongkong, I am grateful, as I know my friends and countrymen at home are grateful for the kindness that I have been honoured with during the last two years. I do not know that I can say anything better, nor anything which is nearer to my heart, now that I am leaving the British Empire, than to ask you all to unite in this sentiment: The perpetual friendship and alliance of the two great English-speaking nations of the world-England and America.\"\n\nThe General's toast was drunk by all the guests upstanding. Soon after, the ladies retired to the large drawing room, and at ten o'clock General Grant, the Governor, and the Aide-de-Camp, with Mrs Grant and Mrs Hennessy, proceeded to the vestibule, where every person on arrival was received and presented to the General by the Governor. These presentations lasted for more than an hour.\n\nThe guests on arriving were met in the hall by the Governor, and were presented to His Excellency by Major Palmer, A.D.C.; the Governor presented his guests to General Grant; Mr C. V. Creagh presented them to Mrs Hennessy, by whom they were introduced to Mrs Grant.\n\n## The Reception\n\nThe Government House grounds were brilliantly illuminated. On both sides of the numerous walks, slight bamboo frames had been erected, and cords, invisible to the eye unless carefully looked for, ran from one to the other all the way round, one cord three feet, another six, from the ground. Every four feet or so a Chinese lantern was suspended from the cords, these being fixed alternatingly on the high and low line. The effect was brilliant and beautiful and striking in the extreme, and the large company seemed greatly to prefer roaming about amid those thousand lights to staying in the Reception rooms. The Governor and Mrs Hennessy walked round frequently amid their numerous guests, His Excellency with Mrs Grant, and General Grant with Mrs Hennessy. The American Star, a large design in gas, on the north side of Government House, was greatly admired. The fairy-like beauty of the scene could scarcely have been enhanced. The lovely dresses of the ladies, the bright and varied uniforms of the officers of different nationalities present, the delightful music of the band, the merry laughter coming from various groups in different portions of the grounds, altogether made up a pleasing, lively and beautiful scene. It was not till nearly midnight that the company began to thin, and by a few minutes after that hour the guests had departed, the visitors were indoors, the lamps \"burnt low, and silence and darkness again assumed their sway. The gathering was in every way most successful, and every one seemed heartily to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and honour the General they had been invited to meet.\n\nThe following programme was performed by the band of Her Majesty's 37th Regt. (Inniskillings) under the direction of Herr Werner, during the course of the evening:\n| No. | Piece | Composer |\n|----|-------|----------|\n| 1  | Overture, Emma di Rosborgo | Meyerbeer |\n| 2  | Quadrille, American | Julien    |\n| 3  | Selection, Beatrice di Tenda | Bellini   |\n| 4  | Valse, London Society | Coote     |\n| 5  | Selection, Irish Airs | Godfrey   |\n| 6  | Polka, Lieb und Treu | Welcker   |\n\nThe following officials and others were invited to the Reception:\n\nBishop Burdon, Bishop Raimondi, the Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Hon.

        "content_text": "# BANQUET AND RECEPTION AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy entertained the following guests at dinner in the evening at Government House:- Professor Nordenskiold, Captain Palander, R.S.N. Vega, His Excellency Major-General Donovan and Mrs. Donovan, Chief Justice Sir John Smale and Lady Smale, Commodore Smith, R.N., Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Pollock, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Colonel and Mrs. Geddes (27th Inniskillings), Surgeon-Major Max Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Taro Ando, Mr. F. D. Sassoon, Lieut. Bove (Vega), Dr. Almquist (Vega), Lieut. Nordquist (Vega), Lieut. Hovgaard (Vega), Dr. Stuxberg (Vega), Lieut. Drummond, A.D.C. to the General, and Mr. C. V. Creagh, Acting A.D.C. to the Governor.\n\nThe following, to whom invitations had been sent, were unable to attend -- Right Rev. Bishop and Mrs. Burdon, Right Rev. Bishop Raimondi, Hon. W. Keswick, and Col., Mrs., and Miss Hall. The band of the 27th Regiment was in attendance and played the following selection, under the direction of Herr Werner, bandmaster: Overture... \"Fra Diavolo\" Auber, Polka \"O Katchke\" Stasey, \"Swedish Air\" Anon., Selection \"Beatrice di Tenda\" Bellini, Valse \"First Roses\" Werner, Jun., Reminiscences of Ireland... Godfrey.\n\nAt the close of the dinner His Excellency the Governor proposed the toast of \"The Queen,\" which was most loyally received, the band playing the National Anthem.\n\nImmediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said- Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nSix centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.\n\nThis toast was duly honoured.\n\n## Reception\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy held an \"at home\" and a brilliant and numerously attended reception after dinner, in honour of their distinguished guests.

The Consul-General did not\n\ntake the offer very seriously and the proposal was dropped.\n\nThe incident is of interest as suggesting that Dr. Sun\n\nhad not created his military academy under Bolshevik\n\ninfluence). The defeat of the Yunnanese increased the\n\npopularity of the Russians very considerably and gave them a\n\nmuch eurer footing in the provincial administration,\n\nMoreover, their renunciation of their rights as Europeans in\n\nChina, their condemnation of the unequal treaties' and their\n\ntreatment of the Chinamen as equal were very flattering to\n\nChinese self-esteem and tended to increase the respect in\n\nwhich they were held by the Cantonese and to strengthen their\n\npolitical influence at Canton. This is reflected in the\n\nimposition of certain irregular tariffe at Canton even\n\nbefore the Hay disturbances. In flat disregard of all\n\nexisting treaties an illegal tax was imposed on oil and\n\nflour with the obvious intention of affirming China's\n\nindependence in the matter of tariffs and her rejection of the\n\nexisting 'unequal treaties'. The Shanghai riots were\n\nfollowed by a sympathetic strike in Canton. It was not a\n\nbig affair, the resources at the disposal of the strikers\n\nwere alender, and in all probability there would have been\n\nan early return to normal conditions but for the\n\nunfortunate incident at Shameen on the 23rd June, when some\n\nChinese troops in a big procession wantonly fired on the\n\nBritish Concession, killing a French subject. The fire was\n\nimmediately returned and numerous casualties were inflicted\n\namong the Chinese. The strike now took on a new lease of\n\nlife. Funds began to pour in from all quarters and in a\n\nshort time a powerful strike committee assumed partial control of the functions of the National Government of Canton.\n\nrl\n\ncade\n\nreas.\n\nVar",

In concluding he says, in speaking of his battalion:-\n\nTheir many and varied duties did, however, furnish both the Officers and O.R's with a far more extensive general training than this report would indicate. In the matter of drill and general deportment their standard is high, and in spite of the many months (15 in all) of monotonous duties, during which time they had no leave, the morale, discipline, and esprit de corps have been maintained at a very high level.\n\nTo such a body of men which had been mobilized for practically two years, one can apply with confidence the evidence of General Stuart, the present Chief of the General Staff:\n\nA. That is a point that has been concerning me with respect to most of the evidence I have heard. I feel that the evidence I have heard so far has been trying to bring out just the condition of the battalions, and chiefly the Winnipeg Grenadiers in respect to their individual and sub-unit training. Q. Undoubtedly the emphasis has been placed on that?-A. All the way through, sir. Now, that is only part of the training of a unit, my lord; that is superficial. What takes a lengthy time in training a unit is giving the unit something like character, and perhaps the best way I can explain it is this\n\nQ. Individuality and character?-A. Collective character. The training is broken up into three components; the first component is the moral component; the second component is the mental component; and the third component is the physical component. And of those three I put far and away the greatest weight on the moral component.\n\nAs to the moral component, it is true it is an indirect approach, but nevertheless there are certain characteristics that we try to develop in the individual: First of all, loyalty; secondly, confidence. By loyalty I mean loyalty to those working with him, to those under him, and to those above him. As to confidence, the same: determination, sense of duty, moral courage. Give me a unit that has got those attributes, and I could whack it into shape in no time.\n\nQ. There was a favourite phrase years ago that seems to have gone out of fashion, namely, esprit de corps?-A. Absolutely; I am coming to that, sir. You may say that the summation of those moral characteristics is what is commonly referred to as morale.\n\nQ. Yes. A. Now, on the mental side you have got judgment, constant mental alertness, readiness to accept responsibility.\n\nQ. Yes.-A. Then on the physical side you have the need to develop a healthy body that can give effect to the great demands on the spirit and on the mind. Every single thing that a unit does is an indirect approach to the development of those various characteristics. I do not care what it is. That is why I, in the early days of the war used to lose patience with people who would come into my office and complain: \"What can we do when we have not got equipment?\" Even if they have no equipment they can get the really hard and difficult part of the training done without it. Those are the most difficult things to accomplish, and take the greatest length of time. I maintain that if they are brought out on the moral side and the mental side, these alleged shortcomings that we have heard about, which are all very simple and do not take very long to adjust, can be adjusted; and I am quite convinced they could have been adjusted in this particular case in the time that was available to them.\n\n33\n\nNow, what are the requirements. In respect to those two units, they had experienced commanders; they were well officered; as far as I knew they did the job that they were on thoroughly and well. All right, if they did their job well and there were no complaints about it, those characteristics that I have been talking about must have been developed. In other words, they were good units, well tried units, and if that is so it is more than 75 per cent of the battle.\n\nQ. Then your opinion is, from what you have said, that any weapon training or anything of that sort that these units may have been short in as laid down in the books, could have been made up prior to the 8th December?-A. I not only think it, I know it.\n\nFor some considerable time since the outbreak of war in 1939 Canada has been sending troops to England, and since June, 1940, England has been under direct threat of invasion. In October, 1941, there was no war in the Pacific. Speaking of the troops sent to England from June to September, 1940, Lt.-Col. Sparling, Staff Officer in the Directorate of Military Training at National Defence Headquarters who had gone overseas with the Second Canadian Division, said that in his opinion the training of both the Royal Rifles and the Winnipeg Grenadiers was far ahead of the units of the Second Division at the time they proceeded overseas. In speaking of the two battalions in question in comparison with other battalions in Canada in September, 1941, Colonel Sparling said that, from an examination of the training reports, they were the equal of any other unit. It is to be borne in mind that these battalions had an advantage over other battalions in Canada in the experience which they respectively had in Newfoundland and the West Indies, not enjoyed by battalions which had not been out of the country; and it seems proper to call attention to the fact that both these battalions had enjoyed the advantage of having virtually the same men, trained by the same officers and N.C.O's for a long period overseas.\n\nGeneral Crerar had knowledge of the equipment and state of training of the units in the Canadian army. He says:-\n\nDetailed statement of supplies and issues of weapons and equipment to units of Canadian army, and also of state of their training, were prepared monthly under the direction of the Vice Chief of the General Staff, copies of which came to me.\n\nHe further says, as regards these units:-\n\n140\n\nTo the best of my knowledge and experience, however, no battalions of any army, even if fully equipped, can ever be regarded as completely trained. Training is an unceasing process. There were, however, in Canada at the time in question a number of battalions (among which were Royal Rifles and Winnipeg Grenadiers) which, although somewhat handicapped by lack of supplies of certain platoon weapons (mortars and anti-tank rifles) in my opinion were generally adequately trained to undertake defensive responsibilities such those in prospect in Hong Kong,\n\nIt should be recalled that General Crerar had personal knowledge of the Royal Rifles as the result of two inspections, one in the autumn of 1940 and one in the early summer of 1941, as he mentions in his evidence; and that he had first hand knowledge of the Winnipeg Grenadiers from his interviews with Brigadier Kay, as he also mentions in his evidence. This knowledge led him to believe, as he states in his recommendation, that the experience of these battalions in Newfoundland and the West Indies respectively would be of \"no small value\" to them in their new role in Hong Kong. It was evidently General Crerar's opinion that these two battalions were specially qualified to adopt themselves to the conditions awaiting them in Hong Kong. He says:--",
