        "content_text": "; \n\n1\n\n61\n\nYour Memorialists, in addition to objecting to the imposition of a Stamp tax as being in principle wrong, even for providing for a temporary deficit, do most solemnly and earnestly protest against the even more injurious policy, declared in Your Excellency's letter, of seizing the opportunity, of there being an alleged need of money, for a purely temporary and transitory purpose, to impose upon the Colony, and its trade, a yearly additional tax of $120,000, being equal to one seventh of the present annual Revenue.\n\nThe only argument Your Memorialists have heard in favour of taxation in this manner, is, that it is not politically expedient to derive all Revenue from one or more specific sources, but if this be true as an abstract proposition of political economy, surely the fact that, since the existence of the Colony, the Legislature have followed this course without even demur on the part of those taxed, is sufficient to shew, that Hongkong, in its circumstances, is in an exceptional position, and must be dealt with as the position requires, and not in the manner required by any abstract dogma or theory.\n\nThere are many other objections to the imposition of any Stamp tax, partly to the principle, and partly to the operation, of such a measure, on which Your Memorialists will not dilate, but they may point out, as instances, the severity and stringency of the provisions punishing breaches of the Ordinance, the difficulty and cost of collection, and almost certain evasion of it by such of the Chinese as retain here, its vexatious intricacy, and its inequality, in leaving untaxed a large body of Residents who, if not individually wealthy, are wealthy as classes or interests, and who ought to contribute to these local requirements.\n\nYour Memorialists in conclusion beg to express their conviction that though this is a Crown Colony, and they can be taxed by an Order in Council, or an express Order from the Government to the Governor here to levy a tax, or raise a subsidy, yet when, in compliance with the Standing Orders of the Legislative Council, and the whole previous course of practice here, the Council, as such, are asked to pass, or reject, a measure involving the mere mode of raising the requisite sums, Your Memorialists are then entitled to have their ideas on that subject received through the recognized medium, the Non-Official Members of the Council, and as their remonstrances were of no avail, they conceive themselves further entitled to bring before the Government the strong opinions they entertain on the matter, and firmly, though respectfully, to urge Your Excellency to a reconsideration of what is, at best, a mere question of expediency, affecting their interests only, and upon which they ought to be considered, if not the best judges, at least as the best exponents of the balance of benefit or prejudice that may result from the measure.\n\nYour Memorialists therefore humbly beg Your Excellency to reconsider the question, to defer such portion of the Expenditure as is not of immediate or vital import to the Colony to a more auspicious period; to raise any Sums that may be presently needed by some other, and less hurtful method, and to postpone indefinitely the further consideration of any Stamp Tax or at least until all other available and usual sources of taxation have been exhausted.\n\nAnd Your Memorialists will ever pray:\n\nB.

        "content_text": "## THE Khyber Pass and Afghan Affairs\n\nThe Bombay Times of Sept. 20 says it is to be hoped that the Government of India will now adopt a vigorous policy. A mere exchange of diplomatic courtesies will not do; the time has come for decisive action.\n\nThe Turkish Circular, says the _Pesth Lloyd_, has a notoriously mendacious tone. A Vienna telegram published by the same newspaper confirms the statement that the Auersperg Cabinet will remain in office until the situation has been rendered somewhat plainer by debates of the Delegations.\n\n## German Parliament and the Socialists\n\nThe German Parliament resumed today the debate on the Anti-Socialist Bill, and passed the second reading of Paragraph 1 in the form, in all essential points, in which it was proposed by the Court. The Centre, Fortschritt, and Socialist parties voted in the minority.\n\n## Social Events\n\nThere has been a great deal of gaiety at Simla this week. The members of the Viceroy's staff gave a fancy dress ball, at which about 100 people were present. Neither Lord nor Lady Lytton appeared in fancy dress.\n\nYesterday, the marriage of Mr. Richard Fanor Curry, stepson of the Rev. J. D. Collis, D.D., and eldest surviving son of the late Admiral Curry, of Shottery Hall, Stratford-on-Avon, to Miss Bright, daughter of the Right Hon. John Bright, M.P., was celebrated at the Friends' Meeting-house, Southport, which was crowded.\n\n## Afghan Affairs and British Policy\n\nThe policy which the Government of India intends to pursue is, of course, shrouded in mystery to all except those in high office, and, of course, there is plenty of general speculation about its nature. In the Punjab, very divergent opinions are entertained about the kind of policy which would be best for the Government of India to adopt.\n\nSome believe that the Afghans should be left alone altogether, to \"stew in their own juice,\" as it were, and that if the Russians become particularly friendly with them, the friendship is not likely to last long.\n\n## Funeral of Lord Chelmsford\n\nIt having been announced that the mortal remains of the late Lord Chelmsford were to be interred in the family vault at Brompton Cemetery yesterday, long before the time fixed, the grounds were filled by members of the legal profession anxious to pay their last respects to the late venerable judge.\n\n## Canterbury Convocation\n\nYesterday, the Archbishop of Canterbury attended at the Board Room in the Dean's-yard, Westminster, and prorogued the present Convocation of the province of Canterbury, by virtue of a Royal writ, to Monday, the 4th day of November next.\n\n## Other News\n\nThe Minister President, Herr Tisza, and Baron Wenckheim leave tonight for Vienna. It is reported here that when Herr Tisza returns, he will hand over the direction of the Home Ministry to another member of the Cabinet.\n\nCount Andrassy is resolved to defend his entire policy before the Delegations, and to make the matter a Cabinet question, on the result of which his retention of office would depend.\n\nThe Executive Council of the Greenwich Five Hundred have decided to give a dinner in connection with the association very shortly, to which Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Stone and Mr. Saunders, the Liberal candidates at the next election, will be invited.\n\nWe regret to have to announce the death, at the age of 57, of Mr. John Kay, Q.C., at the residence of Mrs. Drummond, his mother-in-law, at Fredley, near Dorking.\n\n| Name | Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Richard Fanor Curry | Stepson of Rev. J. D. Collis, D.D. |\n| Miss Bright | Daughter of Right Hon. John Bright, M.P. |\n\n## Telegraphic News\n\n(BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.)\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nPESTH, THURSDAY NIGHT.\n\n## Afghan Frontier\n\nThe Central News says that the Government of India has received official information confirming the presence of Russian troops within fifteen miles of Constantine.\n\nThe news has created great excitement in Government circles, and it was immediately resolved to demand an explanation from Russia.\n\n## British Policy in Afghanistan\n\nThe policy of establishing a series of independent States between Cabul and the Oxus is considered to be a very comprehensive one, and is judged to be worth adopting in the event of the Government of India entertaining no idea of entering upon any bolder or more comprehensive policy.\n\nThe writer believes that it will be good to fortify the Bamian Pass, and so close the way to Cabul for any enemy approaching from Bokhara or Samarkand.\n\n## Other Developments\n\nThe marriage register having been signed, the wedding party left the chapel for Birkdale. Mr. Bright was enthusiastically cheered by the large crowd which had assembled in the street.\n\nThe Executive Council of the Greenwich Five Hundred have decided to give a dinner in connection with the association very shortly.\n\nMr. Gladstone has already signified his readiness to be present.\n\nThe banquet will be to celebrate the successful organization of the association on the Birmingham system.\n\n## Page 363\n\n## Afghan Tribes\n\nThe Afridis, who inhabit the hills about the Khyber Pass, are split up into various clans, all of which are constantly at feud with one another.\n\nThe principal clans are the Malikdeen Khel, Tukka Khel, and others.\n\nThe Khyberees have always been a thorn in the side of the Afghan rulers, and have exacted a heavy price for their allegiance.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nThe situation in Afghanistan remains complex and fluid, with various factions vying for power and influence.\n\nThe British Government is faced with the challenge of determining the best course of action to protect its interests in the region.\n\nPage 594",

J. Collis Browne, who was a Medical Officer in Her Majesty's Army for many years, and who, whilst with his Regiment in India, invented a preparation which he called \"Chlorodyne\", and which has, during the last 40 years, proved of inestimable benefit if administered to persons suffering from cholera, dysentery, or diarrhœa.\n\nThe medicine has had an enormous sale, and the enclosed extracts from the very many Certificates which I hold will show you that those best competent to form an opinion upon the subject consider the medicine invaluable as a remedy for the complaints to which I have referred.\n\nChlorodyne contains a small portion of morphine, although that drug...\n\nPage 420\n\nPage 421",

        "content_text": "not by any means the principal ingredient of the preparation. Although I quite see the importance of preventing the indiscriminate use of Morphine, you will observe that the Bill to which I have called attention is so general in its terms that it would prevent persons from using Chlorodyne, or other harmless preparation containing the smallest portion of Morphine. It is with reference to this point that I am now writing.\n\nIt is of the utmost importance that residents in hot climates, such as China, should have at their immediate disposal an effective remedy against Cholera, dysentery, or diarrhoea, as it is often impossible for them to obtain prompt medical advice, even if they desired it. Chlorodyne has become an almost universal remedy in the East for these complaints. Many bottles of it have been exported to the East and, so far as I am aware, in no case has any injury resulted from its use.\n\nIn every guidebook to the East, there is a recommendation to travellers to provide themselves with Chlorodyne for use in case of need, and I can say without hesitation that thousands of lives have been saved by the timely use of my Father's medicine.\n\nIf your Lordship would like further confirmation of the accuracy of my statements upon this point, I should feel greatly obliged if you would make enquiries respecting it of independent persons competent to form an opinion with regard to it.\n\nThe Bill to which I have referred, if passed in its present form, would not only render it impossible for persons to sell the medicine, except under medical prescription, but would subject any person who possessed it to fine and imprisonment for merely having it in their possession for use in case of need. I cannot believe that the framers of the Bill had the desire to cause such a state of things, and I earnestly ask you to prevent an enactment which would be injurious to the large population in the East which at present uses the medicine.\n\nThere would be no difficulty in altering the Bill so as to control the improper injection of Morphia, without subjecting people to fine and imprisonment merely because they took rational and proper precautions to possess a remedy for immediate use in case of a sudden attack.\n\nI have the honor to be Your Lordship's Obedient Servant,\n\nW. A. Colles Brown\n\nThe Marquess of Ripon.\n\nH.Q. My father's Rifle Brigade\n\nThe Colonial Office, Downing Street, S.W.",

It invariably relieves pain of whatever kind; creates a calm, refreshing sleep; allays irritation of the nervous system when all other remedies fail; leaving no bad effects like opium or laudanum; and can be taken when no other medicine can be tolerated. Its value in saving life in infancy is not easily estimated—a few drops will subdue the irritation of Teething, prevent and arrest Convulsions, cure Whooping Cough, Spasms, and Flatus at once.\n\nCHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, effectually checks and arrests those too often fatal diseases known as DIPHTHERIA, FEVER, CROUP, AGUE, acts like a charm in DIARRHOEA, and is the only specific in CHOLERA and DYSENTERY, effectually cuts short all attacks of EPILEPSY, HYSTERIA, PALPITATION and SPASMS.\n\nIt is the only palliative in NEURALGIA, RHEUMATISM, Gout, CANCER, TOOTHACHE, MENINGITIS, &c.\n\nThe extensive demand for this remedy, known as Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE, by the Medical Profession, Hospitals, Dispensaries—Civil, Military, and Naval—and Families, especially guarantees that this statement of its extreme importance and value is a bona fide one, and worthy the attention of all.\n\nCAUTION.—Always ask for \"Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne,\" and beware of spurious compounds or imitations. Dr. Browne placed the Recipe for making \"Chlorodyne\" in the hands of Mr. Davenport ONLY; consequently, there can be no other Manufacturer. The genuine bears the words \"Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne,\" on the Government Stamp of each bottle.\n\nThe following is an extract from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor in the late Chlorodyne Chancery suit—BROWNE & DAVENPORT v. FREEMAN:—Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood states that Dr. J. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne, that the statements of the defendant Freeman were deliberately untrue, and he regretted to say that they had been sworn to. Eminent hospital Physicians of London stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was the discoverer of Chlorodyne; that they prescribed it largely, and mean no other than Dr. Browne's.—See THE TIMES, July 13th, 1864.\n\nSold in Bottles at 1s. 1½d., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d.

Consul at Manilla, dated Sept. 17, 1864.\n\n\"The remedy most efficacious in its effects (in Epidemic Cholera) has been found to be CHLORODYNE, and with a small quantity given to me by Dr. Barke I have saved several lives.\"\n\nEarl Russell communicated to the College of Physicians that he had received a despatch from Her Majesty's Consul at Manilla to the effect that Cholera has been raging fearfully, and that the ONLY remedy of any service was CHLORODYNE-See Lancet, Dec. 31, 1864.\n\nExtracts from the GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH, LONDON, as to its efficacy in Cholera.\n\n1st Stage, or Premonitory-In this stage the remedy acts as a charm, one dose generally sufficient. 2nd Stage, or that of Vomiting and Purging-In this stage the remedy possesses great power, more than any other we are acquainted with, two or three doses being sufficient.\n\n3rd Stage, or Collapse.-In all cases restoring the Pulse. So strongly are we convinced of the immense value of this remedy, that we cannot too forcibly urge the necessity of adopting it in all cases.\n\nFrom Dr. THOMAS SANDIFORD, Passage West, Cork.\n\nI will thank you to send me a further supply of Chlorodyne. It is the most efficacious remedy I ever used, affording relief in violent attacks of Spasms within a minute after being taken. One patient in particular, who has suffered for years with periodical attacks of Spasms of a most painful nature, and unable to obtain relief from other remedies, such as opium, &c., finds nothing so prompt and efficacious as Chlorodyne.\n\nFrom W. VESALIUS PETTIGREW, M.D., formerly lecturer at St. George's Hospital, London.\n\nI have no hesitation in stating that I have never met with any medicine so efficacious as an Anti-spasmodic and Sedative. I have used it in Consumption, Asthma, Diarrhea, and other diseases, and am perfectly satisfied with the results.\n\nFrom Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hall, Simla-January 5, 1880.\n\nTo J. T. DAVENPORT, Esq., 33, Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, London.\n\nDEAR SIR,-Have the goodness to furnish us with your best quotations for Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, as, being large buyers, we would much prefer doing business with you direct than through the wholesale houses. We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly-esteemed medicine has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be but evanescent. We could multiply instances ad infinitum of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramp, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. Choleraic Diarrhea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne's, from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate breach of faith on the part of the chemist to prescriber and patient alike. We are, Sir, faithfully yours,\n\nSYMES & CO.,\n\nMembers of the Pharm. Society of Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists.\n\nFrom J. M'GRIGOR CROFT, M.D., M.R.C.P., London, late Staff-Surgeon to H.M. Forces.\n\nNovember 26, 1859,\n\nSir, After prescribing Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne for the last three years, in severe cases of Neuralgia and Tic-Douloureux, I feel that I am in a position to testify to its valuable effects. Really, in some cases it acted as a charm, when all other means had failed. Without being asked for this report, I must come forward and state my candid opinion that it is a most valuable medicine, and I have recommended several chemists in this neighbourhood not to be without it for prescriptions.\n\nFrom Jno. E. GOULSTONE, M.D., late Principal Surgeon to the Steam-Ship Great Eastern.\n\nI can confidently state that Chlorodyne is an admirable Sedative and Anti-spasmodic, having used it in Neuralgia, Hysteria, Asthma, and Consumption, with remarkably favourable results. It relieved a fit of Asthma in four minutes, where the patient had suffered eleven years in a most distressing manner, previous remedy having had so immediate and beneficial an effect.\n\nFrom DR. B. J. BOULTON & Co., Horncastle.\n\nWe have made pretty extensive use of Chlorodyne in our practice lately, and look upon it as an excellent direct Sedative and Anti-spasmodic. It seems to allay pain and irritation in whatever organ, or from whatever cause. It induces a feeling of comfort and quietude not obtainable by any other remedy, and it seems to possess this great advantage over all other Sedatives, that it leaves no unpleasant after effects.\n\nA BILL\n\nENTITLED\n\nAn Ordinance for the regulation of the consumption of Morphine and for the suppression of the pernicious practice of administering or injecting preparations of Morphine by unqualified persons.\n\nWHEREAS it is desirable to regulate the consumption of Morphine in this Colony and to forbid the administration or injection of preparations of Morphine except in cases where such treatment has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner.\n\nBe it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-\n\n1. This Ordinance may be cited as \"The Morphine Ordinance, 1895.\"\n\n2. For the purposes of this Ordinance, Morphine shall include Morphia and every preparation thereof.\n\n3. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner, who shall administer by injection or otherwise any Morphine to any other person, except in cases where the same has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner, shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars or to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months.\n\nThe onus of proving the exception shall lie on the person so administering the Morphine.\n\n4. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner, who shall, except in cases where Morphine has been prescribed by some duly qualified medical practitioner, furnish Morphine or a hypodermic syringe or other appliance for the injection of Morphine, to any person, except a duly qualified medical practitioner, shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, or to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months.\n\nThe onus of proving the exception shall lie on the person furnishing Morphine or a hypodermic syringe or other appliances as aforesaid.\n\n5. Any person, not being a duly qualified medical practitioner or a chemist or druggist actually carrying on business as such, who shall have in his possession any Morphine or any preparation of Morphine shall, on conviction before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars and, in default of payment, to imprisonment with or without hard labour not exceeding three months. Provided that this section shall not apply to cases where Morphine has been prescribed by a duly qualified medical practitioner.\n\n6. No prosecution shall be commenced under section 5 of this Ordinance without the fiat of the Attorney General.",

Hospital, and doubtless had good reasons for coming to his conclusions.\n\nI probably concurred. The divergence of opinion between Drs. Knott and Atkinson can be explained. The circumstances of 1894 plague were different to those of succeeding years.\n\nIn 1894, the spread of the epidemic was so alarming that the sick had to be separated from the healthy at any cost, and the situation demanded that the Chinese should be allowed to manage their own hospitals.\n\nThe result was that, in addition to Plague patients, these were soon crowded with sick Chinese with all sorts of festering sores, and the sanitary state of these hospitals was often serious as no attendants would remain.\n\n...\n\nSecretary of State for the Colonies\n\nDowning Street",

Le certificat d'origine sera délivré dans le pays de production, de provenance ou de transformation des sucres par l'autorité fiscale à désigner par le Gouvernement de cet État; il sera revêtu d'un visa Consulaire lorsqu'il s'agit d'un Etat non-contractant, c'est-à-dire, d'un pays autre que l'Allemagne, l'Autriche-Hongrie, la France, la Grande-Bretagne, l'Italie, les Pays-Bas, et la Suède.\n\n# § 19. Les certificats doivent indiquer: (a) l'espèce et la quantité des sucres; (b) l'espèce, le nombre, et les marques des colis; (c) le pays d'origine ou de provenance et le pays de destination de la marchandise; et (d) le mode de transport (chemin de fer, navire, bateau, &c.); ils sont valables pendant un laps de temps à fixer qui les aura délivrés, mais qui ne pourra excéder un an (non compris le temps pendant lequel les sucres auraient séjourné en entrepôt).\n\n§ 20. Lorsque les sucres rentrant dans la catégorie des sucres raffinés proviennent d'une usine établie dans un État non-contractant, le certificat devra attester, en outre, qu'ils sont fabriqués dans une usine ne travaillant pas de sucres originaires d'un État auquel s'applique le droit spécial. A défaut de cette attestation, les sucres seront soumis au droit spécial de 50 fr. les 100 kilog., fixé au premier alinéa du § 17.\n\nOn ne perdra pas de vue que l'introduction dans le pays des produits suivants, assimilés aux sucres raffinés, mais non dénommés au § 16, n'est pas subordonné à la production d'un certificat d'origine, savoir: les jus et sucres de cocotier, de palmier, de guimauve, et autres analogues, les glucoses, la laitose ou lactine (sucre de lait), la maltose, et les sirops de toute espèce autres que ceux provenant du raffinage du sucre.\n\n§ 21. Le certificat perdra sa valeur si, en cours de transport, la marchandise a été transbordée dans un Etat qui donne des primes (voir § 15). Il pourra, toutefois, être accordé des exceptions en cas de force majeure ou lorsqu'il s'agira de sucres provenant d'États contractants (Allemagne, Autriche-Hongrie, Belgique, France, Grande-Bretagne, Italie, Pays-Bas, et Suède), qui transitent par un ou plusieurs de ces mêmes États dans des conditions garantissant leur identité.\n\n§ 22. Si l'importateur ne consent pas à payer des différentes taxes spécifiées aux §§ 15 et 17, les sucres devront être immédiatement réexportés sous régime de transit.\n\n§ 23. Les sucres expédiés en transit sous la surveillance non interrompue de la douane, soit directement, soit avec transbordement ou avec emmagasinage dans un entrepôt public du royaume, ne doivent pas être accompagnés d'un certificat d'origine.\n\nIl va de soi qu'il ne pourra être renoncé au transit ou l'entreposage de ces sucres pour la consommation que moyennant la production du certificat d'origine indépendamment du paiement des droits d'entrée, de la surtaxe et du droit spécial éventuel.

To make a boundary criss-cross across such a country would be a work of the utmost difficulty, even if we had not to expect Chinese obstruction and Kachin opposition.\n\nBut if the Chinese would consent to the principle of the watershed frontier, a small party, consisting, say, of a British survey officer and two or three picked assistants, a political officer able to speak Kachin, and the Teng Yueh Consul, with an escort of not more than half-a-dozen Ghurkas, could proceed from the Chinese side, where supplies and communications present no difficulties, to get a complete topographical survey of the country near the watershed. The Taotai would send a deputy to give any necessary assistance, and postulating the goodwill—or, at least, neutrality—of the Chinese officials, I do not think, judging from my own experience, that such a party would run any very serious risk—at any rate on the higher slopes near the water-divide; on their report it would be possible to judge accurately of the real weight of the Chinese claims, and if they had any weight, the best means of dealing with them, ... by a money settlement or by territorial concession on the N'maikha side.\n\nFailing this, there would appear to be no course for the Government of Burmah to adopt except to insist on the watershed, and as soon as possible make the position good by administering up to the Ngaw Chang. The worst course of all, I am persuaded, would be a Boundary Commission on the lines of the former Commissions.\n\nI may add that I got some details regarding the proceedings of the two cadets from the military college at Yunnan Fu who were sent down by the Yunnan Viceroy last year to inspect the frontier. They had no plane tables or instruments of any kind except a telescope. They went to Kao Liang, Manung Pum, and up to Pan Wa at the head of the Tien Tang Valley, and there their explorations ended; they stayed for some time at the house of Headman Yang, of Lower Ming Kwang, but did not go to the head of the valley. No doubt they got lists of the villages claimed by China on the N'maikha side.\n\nTeng Yueh, April 16, 1904.\n\n(Signed)\n\nG.

But, in the meantime, I am to say that the only provision which appears to Mr. Brodrick, as at present advised, to demand the attention of His Majesty's Government is that relating to the construction of branch lines by the French, which might conceivably be so used as to include lines in the neighbourhood of the Burma frontier, where the prior right of British enterprise should be secured.\n\nAs regards the telegram of the 1st July from His Majesty's Minister at Peking, inclosed with Mr. Campbell's letter of the 4th July, I am directed to state that Mr. Brodrick agrees that it would be premature to apply to the Chinese Government for a concession of a railway from Burma to Tali and Yunnan City, and thence to Szechuen. But should it appear that the French have any intention of asking for concessions for these lines, he thinks that the Chinese Government should be reminded of the rights we possess (under the Agreement with France of the 15th January, 1896) to equality of treatment with the French in the matter of railway construction in Yunnan and Szechuen, which rights, so far as Yunnan is concerned, were recognized in Prince Ching's note of the 16th March, 1902, inclosed with Sir E.

I have reordered the text to form coherent paragraphs. Here is the reasoning behind the changes:\n\n1. The text \"DRAFT.

The phrase \"is directed to nquest you\" is likely to be \"is directed to request you\", but since \"request\" is not explicitly present, I have kept the sentence as \"is directed to inform the L.C. of the Treasury\".\n3. The list of names appears to be a distribution list, so I have formatted it as such.\n4. The text \"RIMISE FOR COLONIAL EASTERN USE Immediate 43\" and \"70 29673 womanffing 441 (Aujou Sie\" appear to be unrelated to the main text and may be OCR errors or extraneous text. However, without further context, it is difficult to determine their significance.\n5.

Ark for: Whether there was an objection to his if he wishes.\n\nIn view of the cer. with the Govt. of H.K. gave him when he left the Colony, of the fact that they offered him permanent employment, which he declined on the ground of the pay being insufficient, and of the acting D.F.W's report in 41340 I see no reason why C.A. should not re-engage Hudson for service in Hongkong should suitable opportunity occur. It does not seem necessary to refer this to the Com.. Fr. Chatham, D.F... told me he knew nothing against Judson, and there is obviously nothing against him.\n\nThe Colony has done him a great deal of harm by a carelessly and inconsiderately worded report to the C.A., which they in turn communicated to Messrs. Singer. Of course Hudson may not wish to accept employment in H.K. on the terms that may be available but that is for him to judge.\n\nAs to the general question, I remain of the opinion expressed on 57748. Col. Govts. frequently say hasty or ill-considered things about a man who has left their employment, and to communicate what they say to would-be employers may preclude an unsatisfactory ex-Govt. servant from earning a livelihood at all. When a man has a good record given to him by the Col. Govt. as in this case, the C.A. should add nothing to it. When he has no statement of service, the C.A. should not report unfavourably without reference to us.\n\nI kept this in order to take the minutes on the journal question which I have just dealt with Art Collais and this case.\n\n2.

I therefore copied your circular to the P.W. officers in the Straits, & Ceylon. Its officers just on leave, Wishart of the higenia, of Cyprus, of Tours of the Straits & Churchill, Groveoch, Creaty & Macgregor of Ceylon. Amongst these we find one who is shown to possess or have had much experience of municipal works, with the possible exception of Turner Juft of Works & Surveys Singapore. He is on a salary of £600-£720 a year, & Mr Stubbs has drawn attention to the fact that the Storiete Civil List shows that he obtained \"Advanced Building Construction, S. Kensington...\" \n\nBut, despite the fact that the lithographie with the Govt makes it clear that he is not anxious to promote anyone in the Colony & would like a Director appointed from outside, I feel bound to call your attention to the papers of Mr Hrugkung. His papers (38863) show that he is a \"First Class Honours Medallist; Building Construction & Design S. Kensington May 1896, & became Associate R.I.B.A. Architects 1899. It also certifies a formidable list of buildings of which he had had charge. He was for five & a half years managing Assistant to Seddon & Co, Finsbury Square E.C, before joining the public service, or Sir H. Nathan, in 1906, reported him to be \"a capable & hardworking officer.\" \n\nHis report for 1908 states principally that \"His training & experience have been of an architectural nature, but I consider him capable of undertaking any of the ordinary work of engineering such as a municipality of moderate size. He is thoroughly qualified & a hard worker.” \n\nThe last Confidential Report, just received, describes him as an architect. In it, Jones reports that he is \"an exceedingly clever member of his profession in construction. He is very careful & a good architect, knowing I think in the matter of his work... & would be a loss to their department if removed\" \n\n- I infer from the above that Mr Fisher possesses very much the sort of qualifications which are required; but perhaps it would be awkward to promote him...",

        "content_text": "6\n\n'granting of the rebate is extended to Formosan sugar also, even though it has paid no duty.\n\nThe grant of this drawback has been renewed at intervals of about two years. The present law expires conjointly with the present tariff, and it is rumoured that the drawback will not be granted afresh from that date. If this should be true the Java sugar will suffer not only the loss of drawback 1.95 yen but also an increase in duty from 2.25 yen to 3.10 yen, a total loss of 2.80 per 100 kin, while Formosan sugar will suffer a loss of 1.95 yen drawback and gain 0.85 yen further protection against Java sugar.\n\n(e.) The export duties abolished were:\n\nBrown sugar, 45 sen per 100 kin. White sugar, 56 sen per 100 kin. Refined sugar, 65 sen per 100 kin.\n\nIt will be seen from the figures of import and home product given that the most important variety of sugar is centrifugalled sugar or bunmitto.\" The relative position of Java and Formosan centrifugalled sugar as regards subsidies and duties is at present thus:\n\n  \n    \n    Java\n    Formosa\n  \n  \n    Subsidy (a)\n    Yen\n    Yen\n  \n  \n    Drawback (b)\n    + 1.95\n    +1.95\n  \n  \n    Import duty\n    - 2.25\n    \n  \n  \n    Consumptions tax\n    - 5.00\n    - 5'00\n  \n  \n    Total\n    - 5.80\n    1.55\n  \n\nThat is to say, Formosan centrifugalled sugar is protected against Java sugar to the extent of 3.75 per 100 kin.\n\nThere has been some talk lately of establishing sugar refineries in Formosa to compete with those in Japan proper. The Government appears to be determined to prevent such a development of the industry in Formosa, as the following extract from the semi-official \"Japan Times\" of the 11th instant shows:\n\nWith the object of preventing over-production, the Formosan Governor-General has given private notice to the existing companies manufacturing unrefined sugar to the following effect:\n\n1. The Government will not give permission for the time being to the establishment of fresh sugar manufactories.\n\n2. Nor will it permit an extension of the present manufactories so as to increase their productive capacities.\n\n3. The same restrictions shall be placed also on the production of refined sugar.\"\n\nThe sugar refineries in Japan are said to be excellently equipped, but never to have been worked to their full capacity by any means.\n\nR.

There are also indications of original document formatting issues, such as potential table structures or lists.\n\n3. **Correcting Errors**: \n   - **Spelling Corrections**: Words like \"boorment\" to \"document\", \"qurbantatios\" to \"quantities\", \"haffheations\" to \"allocations\" or a similar word, \"Ausd\" potentially to \"Aus.\", \"C\" potentially to a date or abbreviation, \"गणि\" is non-English and might be a misrecognition or a word in another script.\n   - **Spacing and Formatting**: The text has irregular spacing and line breaks. Proper paragraphing and removal of unnecessary line breaks are necessary.\n   - **Reordering and Completing Sentences**: Some sentences are broken or incomplete. For example, \"If Carter is nally hcoming\" should be \"If Carter is finally becoming\".\n\n4. **Markdown Formatting**: The task requires transforming the text into standard Markdown format. This involves correctly identifying headers, sub-headers, bold text, and tables, and formatting them accordingly.\n\n5. **Specific Rules Application**:\n   - **Rule 4 (Rejoin broken sentences)**: Sentences split across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n   - **Rule 5 (Restore paragraph breaks)**: The text should be formatted into proper paragraphs based on content and logical breaks.\n   - **Rule 10 (Format of File Reference)**: Ensure file references are correctly formatted without spaces inside parentheses.\n\n## Fixed solution:\nThe provided HTML output has been generated based on the step-by-step correction and formatting of the original OCR text.\n\n## Explanation of changes:\n* **Corrected Spelling Errors**: Misrecognized words were corrected based on context.\n* **Improved Formatting**: The text was rearranged into paragraphs and corrected for spacing issues.\n* **Rejoined Broken Sentences**: Sentences were merged where they were split across lines without logical reason.\n* **Restored Paragraph Breaks**: Logical paragraph breaks were reinstated.\n* **File References Formatting**: Checked for and corrected file references to adhere to the specified format.\n\n## Tests and example uses:\nTo further validate the corrections, comparing the output with the original document images or a more accurate transcription would be ideal. Additionally, searching for specific keywords or names within the corrected text can help verify its accuracy and usability for historical research or administrative purposes.",

        "content_text": "## m. Collis\n\nI do not see that the 1903 dictum need to be regarded as binding on Hong Kong any more than the work deserves appreciation. It cannot be put forward because the lower Class officers are not in the same category.\n\nIt is no doubt a good general principle that similar work should be rewarded by similar pay, but the application is not quite suitable in the Cadet Service where there is a Cadet class considered. The existence of a Cadet service, which is the core of the matter, makes it necessary to provide officers who enter the service with a graduated scale of pay. You take on the left-hand pain class, which is paid less than the higher Class.\n\nThe necessity of providing a suitable scale of pay for Cadets may result in the lower Class being paid more in the same particular appointment. There is a favor class to put it in, but those outside the classification should also be overpaid. I do not assert that Cadet pay is much too low, but it is quite possible that in Hong Kong the real difficulty was not that the pay was insufficient but that they had been reduced. It is also quite possible that the question is a matter of fact.\n\nIn the opinion of the writer, the officer is insufficiently paid for the work he does. The ground for raising his pay is that the most competent are doing this kind of duty. However, I do not think there is any ground for giving this allowance merely because he has got it.",

If his wife goes with him, I suggest she has a free passage as well. His young child would not go there.\n\nThere will be about 14 days (about — at any rate we can call it that) of sacrifice due to Dr. Palmer; and he will probably arrive in the G.

Here's a more detailed analysis:\n\n1. **Format**: The original text is not in standard Markdown. Headers, sub-headers, bold-type, and tables need to be processed using Markdown syntax.\n\n2. **Reasonable adding of words and re-ordering**: Some words are missing or incorrect due to OCR problems. For example, \"sisted dezijuzuten diod Leadofral\" seems to be a jumbled text and might need correction or reordering.\n\n3. **Correct spelling errors**: There are several spelling errors, such as \"dezijuzuten\" ( possibly \"decision\"), \"Nahonality\" (possibly \"Nationality\"), \"Thangments\" (possibly \"Arrangements\"), \"Cactable\" (possibly \"Constable\").\n\n4. **Fix spacing issues**: There are extra spaces and missing spaces throughout the text.\n\n5. **Rejoin broken sentences**: Some sentences are split across lines.\n\n6. **Restore paragraph breaks**: The OCR has merged or split paragraphs incorrectly.\n\n7. **Indicate missing words**: Some words are clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\nLet's correct and reformat the text according to the given rules:\n\nWalk to\n\n·\n\n•\n\nINJ 10 MIN.\n\n... decision ...

Therefore it is wholly unreasonable that they should be charged the full market value of the land held of them. What I should have is land equivalent in military value, or in other words, equally suitable for military purposes.

I have inserted this in all the copies of the statement.]\n\nThe amounts to be refunded to H.K.

Ali unde AE@20\n\nDear Paskin,\n\n18th October, 1923.\n\nWith reference to the inquiries which you have instructed the Governors of Hong Kong and Malaya to make for the purposes of the Far Eastern Conference to be held next year, it occurs to me that the other colonies where smoking is still continued, i.e. Ceylon and North Borneo, should not be left out of count. In Ceylon both the eating and smoking of opium are practised, though eating is much more prevalent than smoking. Smoking is on a small scale and is only permitted to registered persons, and it appears that no new persons are admitted to the register except in special circumstances. It is possible that smoking might now be definitely prohibited, subject to a saving under strict conditions for existing smokers. In the case of North Borneo it will be less easy to get an unbiased inquiry in view of the interest the Chartered Company have in the revenue, but, at any rate, it seems desirable to ask them for their observations on the British proposals.\n\nWhat do you say?\n\nYours sincerely,\nMalcolm Delevigne\n\nCasting 2.0.\n\n... pending approval of our draft amendments but for the ... albeit fake ...\n\nJ.J.

I enclose a copy of his letter herewith. He has also sent me a copy of the Report. As you see, he says that the evidence is being kept as confidential out there, but the Report is apparently in circulation. I conclude, under the circumstances, that the Colonial Office can take no exception to my showing the Report to the members of our Committee.\n\nI should also like to send you a copy of the Memorandum which has been circulated to the members of the deputation that are waiting on Mr. Thomas tomorrow. You will see the lines along which it is proposed to go, and I also enclose a draft of the Memorandum on the Relationship between Venereal Disease and Regulation.\n\nI think it would be really helpful to the Colonial Civil Servants if a Memorandum on somewhat similar lines could be circulated for their information. This also we shall raise at the deputation tomorrow.\n\nYours sincerely,\nC. Neville Rolfe\nGeneral Secretary.",

        "content_text": "# ENCLOSURE NO. 9\n\n## THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, APRIL 29th, 1927\n\n### BRITAIN THE TRUE FRIEND OF CHINA\n\n#### SAFE TRADING CONDITIONS\n\n#### AIM OF BOTH COUNTRIES\n\n#### THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ANNUAL MEETING\n\n#### STRIKING SPEECH BY H.E. THE GOVERNOR\n\nThe annual meeting of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon at the City Hall was notable for a magnificent speech by H.E. the Governor.\n\nNow as always, declared His Excellency, British policy in China aims wholly and solely at security, freedom and equal opportunity for British trade. Great Britain has no territorial ambitions whatsoever in China, and it is amazing that the \"Nationalists\" should denounce Great Britain as \"the enemy\" and clasp to their hearts the Russian Bolshevists, who appear to be pursuing the old Czarist policy of Slavonic aggrandisement in the Far East.\n\n\"We are quite determined,\" said His Excellency, \"to have no Bolshevism in this Colony. Nor shall we permit our coastwise shipping to be preyed upon with impunity by organised piracy.\" The so-called economic weapon Sir Cecil Clementi described as the \"Bolshevist Bludgeon,\" or rather the \"Bolshevist Boomerang,\" because it would most certainly curl back and deliver its shrewdest blow at those who endeavoured to wield it.\n\nThe Governor urged the Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong to see that to combat lying propaganda, the truth is widely told all over China, for the victory of truth is the best means of meeting the Bolshevist menace. After referring to present indications that the Chinese Nationalist Party is at last struggling to rid itself of the taint of Bolshevism, H.E. the Governor expressed the hope that the traditional friendly relations between Hong Kong and neighbouring Provinces in China were about to be renewed. He had complete faith in the future, and believed that, when the present \"spasm of madness\" was spent, Great Britain and Hong Kong would be recognized throughout the Eighteen Provinces as the best friends of the Chinese people.\n\nThe address was received with great enthusiasm.\n\nThe meeting was presided over by the Hon. Mr. D. G. M. Bernard (Chairman of the Chamber), and with him were H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.), and the following members of the General Committee: The Hon. Mr. A. C. Hynes, Messrs. W. H. Bell, Paul Lauder, F. A. Perry, J. A. Plummer, T. G. Weall, L. J. Davies, Capt. R. H. Campbell, M.C., and Lieut-Commander L. J.

        "content_text": "## CHINESE HOSPITALITY\n\n### LUNCH AT THE KAM LING RESTAURANT\n\nOnce again the Chinese community of Hong Kong has distinguished itself by extending generous hospitality on the occasion of a Royal visit to the Colony. On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.

Ltd relating to the road-surfacing material\n\n2\n\nThese people are certainly unlikely to lose business by lack of pertinacity.\n\nShort of its verbosity and self-praise, the voluminous correspondence enclosed in the despatch briefly amounts to the following:\n\n\"Colfix\" is a liquid bituminous top dressing, applied cold, for the surface of roads. Colfix (Far East) Limited, who handle the product in Hong Kong, have repeatedly urged the Colonial Government to substitute it for the \"straight\" asphalt used by the Roads Office. The price of \"Colfix\" has been progressively reduced from 50 cents a gallon in 1927 to 35 cents in 1929.\n\nDuring the past two years, the Public Works Department, in conjunction with the Company's representatives, has given \"Colfix\" five tests on Hong Kong roads. The results have been most unsatisfactory, which the Company, notwithstanding some unconvincing attempts to explain away the fact, has to admit. The most strikingly illogical of these explanations is that in which it is urged that allowance should be made for \"the weight and nature of the traffic borne by the road in question\". Although earlier in the correspondence, Colfix is said to have been used successfully on the Great North Road at High Barnet, carrying 17,000 tons a day.\n\nThe",

Gibraltar City Council still takes supplies, and it is therefore assumed that they find it satisfactory.\n\nWe have no reports on \"Colfix\" from Ceylon, but we understand that \"Coles\", another cold emulsion, is used in that Colony and is now manufactured in Colombo.\n\n13\n\n5. We ship a fair quantity of tar to various Colonial Governments, tar being considerably cheaper than any of the proprietary bitumens. The Government of the Gold Coast reports that tar gives as good a result as bitumen, but \"Colas\", which was extensively tried, was a failure in that Colony. The Government of the Gambia also reports that tar gives the best results. Zanzibar have informed us that they have tried both \"Colfix\" and \"Colas\", and of the two \"Coles\" has given the more satisfactory results.\n\n6. We would like to observe that bituminous emulsions are at best a makeshift. They consist of at least 50% water and obviously, if imported from a source of supply at a considerable distance, must be uneconomical compared with \"hot-mix\", whereof the tar or asphalt is obtainable from a local source of supply, as it is in Hong Kong. In order to combine the bitumen and water into an emulsion, a flux-soap is necessary. If the bitumen is to be of any service in water-proofing the road, the water in its composition must run off at the time of application. The soap does not always run off with the water and its presence...",

        "content_text": "Crown Agents' Bulletin No.4\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n37\n\nVII. PREPARATION OF BITUMINOUS EMULSION FOR ROAD SURFACING.\n\nConsiderable quantities of various proprietary brands of bituminous emulsion for use in surfacing roads oversea are sent out by the Crown Agents annually. These preparations are usually expensive and extremely bulky and therefore the freight charges are also heavy. From one-third to one-half of the total bulk of these preparations usually consists of water and consequently it will be seen that if it were possible for oversea Administrations to make their emulsions on the spot the cost to the Governments concerned would be materially reduced.\n\nThe Trinidad Lake Asphalt Operating Co. Ltd. have recently designed apparatus of moderate cost for making a suitable emulsion and the following particulars will doubtless be found of interest.\n\nThe plant is capable of turning out about 2,500 Imperial gallons of emulsion per day. The mixer consists of a cylindrical tank 4 ft. high by 3 ft. 6 in. diameter standing on four legs and having an outer casing of sheet metal to retain the heat. (See Plate XXII). This vessel has a vertical central shaft fitted with two sets of horizontal blades (canted at 45° from the vertical in order to give an upward thrust to the liquid), and two sets of stationary blades mounted on angle irons on the sides of the mixing tank, the angles being located on opposite ends of one diameter of the tank. The fixed and moving blades are so spaced that one row of revolving blades passes a row of stationary blades with about 1 in. clearance between top and bottom. The vertical shaft revolves at about 25 r.p.m. The actual capacity of the mixer is approximately 240 Imperial gallons but the working capacity is 125 Imperial gallons. The considerable difference between actual and working capacity is designed to prevent difficulty arising from the foaming which will occur when water is first introduced into the mixer. As further water is introduced the foaming will subside.\n\nThe mixer is arranged to stand on legs giving a clearance from the under side of the mixer to the ground of not less than 2 ft., while the outer casing should extend down a further 12 inches. Underneath is located a burner outfit of the fire pot type consuming approximately 1/8th of a gallon of fuel per hour.\n\nThe flame should not be allowed to impinge upon the metal of the mixer shell as this would cause local overheating and might give rise to buckling of the plate.\n\nFrom 5 to 6 b.h.p. has been found ample to drive the machine and a suitable petrol engine or electric motor may be used. The size of pulley will be determined by the speed of the motor and the size of the fast and loose pulleys on the mixer.\n\nRAW MATERIALS FOR AND METHOD OF PRODUCING TRINIDAD LAKE ASPHALT EMULSION.\n\nFor the production of 2,500 Imperial gallons of emulsion per day the following raw materials are required:-\n\n  \n    Refined Trinidad Lake Asphalt\n    ...\n    12,146 lb.\n  \n  \n    Flux\n    ...\n    3,037 lb.\n  \n  \n    Soap\n    ...\n    1,482 lb.\n  \n  \n    Water\n    ...\n    1,125 Imperial gallons.\n  \n\nThe Crown Agents' Bulletin No.4 (Confidential).\n\n15\n\nPage 37\n\n...\n\nPage 38\n\n...\n\nPage 39\n\n is not present, hence not included.

The titre of the tallow in a soap may almost be said to be a measure of market value as an ingredient. Thus the better quality soaps have a titre at a higher temperature; thus, a shaving soap would have a titre between 48° C. and 49° C. as against 42°-- 45° C. for a high quality toilet soap.\n\nThis does not mean that such a soap is the only emulsifying agent available—the powder called \"Rinso\" is stated to be highly suitable for the purpose. We are informed that excellent emulsions have been made from the following composition:-\n\n  \n    Trinidad Asphalt Cement\n    (85 to 100 penetration)\n    54.50 per cent.\n  \n  \n    Oleic Acid\n    \n    0.85 to 0.90 per cent.\n  \n  \n    Caustic Soda\n    \n    0.39 to 0.65 per cent.\n  \n  \n    Water\n    \n    Balance.\n  \n\nThe Trinidad Lake Asphalt Operating Co. Ltd., inform us that they would be very pleased to make tests of any type of soap, or other emulsifying agents submitted, and advise upon their suitability.\n\nFor the guidance of Public Work Departments the following are approximate prices (f.o.b. British Port) of the ingredients shown in the specification:\n\n  \n    Refined Trinidad Lake Asphalt\n    ...£7. 19s. Od. per ton.\n  \n  \n    Flux\n    £9. 0s. Od. per ton.\n  \n  \n    Soap\n    ...26s. to 30s. per cwt.\n  \n\nThese prices would require confirmation and are submitted as a rough guide to enable oversea Engineers to compute the cost of making their own emulsion. The price of soap was obtained from quotations in London, but it is probable that it could be materially reduced if an order for an appreciable quantity could be placed.\n\nMETHOD OF PRODUCTION.\n\nA proportion of Refined Asphalt, broken into small chunks, is first melted in the kettle before the addition of the flux, after which the remainder of the asphalt is broken up into the kettle, temperature not being permitted to rise above 150° C. nor to fall below 135° C. until complete blending has been obtained and if a consistency test is to be made it should have a penetration between 85 and 100 degrees when tested at 25° C. under a load of 100 grammes for five seconds. The proportions of flux given above are based on this range of consistency. If a harder or softer base is desired, then, of course, the proportion of flux must be either decreased or increased. Agitation, either mechanical, or by means of a long wooden paddle is desirable.",

        "content_text": "39\n\nWhen fluxing is complete, the weight of soap above indicated is added slowly, rate of adding depending upon the amount of foaming which takes place, which is, of course, dependent upon the water content of soap. Soap should be distributed over the surface of the asphalt as much as possible to aid in the speed of mixing. Mechanical propellers or hand-operated wooden paddles are used for mixing. When the soap is all dissolved, the mass will appear homogeneous and the surface of the asphalt will be almost free from foam. Appearance of lumps on the paddle will indicate the necessity for further stirring. During this operation, the temperature should drop to about 120°C, and should be maintained at that point. The complete dissolving of the soap is one of the most important steps in the process.\n\nWhen this has been effected, transfer 683 (sixty-eight and three-quarters) Imperial gallons of this hot asphalt-soap mixture to the mixing tank, care being taken to stir thoroughly the contents of the kettle before each batch is drawn. The mixer tank should be warmed by means of a kerosene burner or other convenient method. The blades of the mixer should be revolving while the asphalt is being poured in. Then start adding water very slowly and carefully at first, to prevent excessive foaming. When further additions of water show no signs of dangerous foaming, the water can be added faster. The entire amount of water, 561 (fifty-six and one-quarter) Imperial gallons, can be added in between five and six minutes, the temperature of the asphalt-soap mixture being kept at the prescribed temperature of 120°C.\n\nMixing should be continued for about two minutes or until the mass appears homogeneous and the emulsion is of a dark brown colour. When the process is complete, a mixture of about 1 cubic centimetre with about 50 c.c. of water should show complete miscibility with no signs of separate asphalt particles. The temperature of the finished emulsion should be about 80° to 85°C. At a temperature of 15.5°C, it should have a specific gravity of approximately 1.095.\n\nThe type of soap to be used should be stated when indenting for the other materials. Almost any type of laundry soap would be found suitable, but the preparation may need to be changed to suit. The water content of ordinary bar soap is variable, and this will be a factor which will require consideration. Soap chips, flakes, or pulverized soap show the least water content and therefore require less and will dissolve more readily. As experience is gained, the quantity of soap actually required may be found to be less than that prescribed above.\n\nSome oversea territories (e.g., Tanganyika) have local soap-making works. In order to judge the suitability of the locally made soap for emulsion making, it would be advisable if a sample of 25 to 50 lb. could be sent home for test as an emulsifying agent. When the matter was discussed recently with an East African merchant, and the fact was pointed out that Indian natives use what is known as the Rita berry in place of soap, and that this led to its use as an emulsifying agent, the merchant in question cited a similar case in which the outer fleshy covering of the coffee bean was used by the African natives for cleansing purposes. If it were possible to store this by-product of the coffee-growing industry for a month or two, its properties as an emulsifying agent might prove worth investigation. In this case, also, the Trinidad Lake Asphalt Company would be prepared to conduct experiments on receiving a sample of about 50 lb.\n\nExtremely hard water should be avoided if possible, since such water will require additional soap. The amount of water may be increased materially, but a consequent reduction in the amount of asphalt will result. The water content may be decreased as desired, but the fluidity of the finished product required will govern this.\n\n17",

The consumption of the fuel on the above apparatus would be approximately 5 pints per burner per hour, at a pressure of about 2 atmospheres, which would probably be ample for normal purposes. A higher pressure may of course be generated and used, say 3 or 4 atmospheres, if desired, the result being a more intense flame but a proportionate increase in fuel consumption.\n\nIt will be appreciated that depending upon the pressure, the intensity and volume of the flame, an ample clearance, say 7 to 10 in. between the top of the burner and the bottom of the vessel to be heated must be maintained so as to prevent any possibility of the flame beating back on to the burner itself, which naturally would have a deteriorating effect on the metal.\n\nMessrs. Trinidad Lake Asphalt (Overseas) Ltd., have designed a suitable layout of emulsion plant, set up complete with a mechanically agitated kettle (see Plate XXII). The kettle is placed on a suitable stage in order that the asphalt may be discharged direct from the measuring tank into the emulsion mixer, while this in its turn is raised sufficiently to allow of a barrel or other receptacle to be placed under the drain-off cock to draw off each batch when completed.\n\n19",

Colfix (Far East) Ltd., regarding a complaint that their road-surfacing material 'Colfix' has not received from this Government the support which they claim it merits for use on the Colony's public roads.\n\n2. The correspondence which accompanies the memorial sufficiently indicates that every facility was afforded to the Company for a thorough trial of the material in question which, on the admission of the Company, has so far not proved to be satisfactory. The result of the experiments carried out by the Public Works Department and the Company's own representatives show definitely that 'Colfix' will not take the traffic peculiar to this Colony. It will be observed that the Colonial Secretary's letter of 4th January offers a further test, the result of which is still awaited.\n\n3. The original cost of Colfix compares unfavourably with that of the \"straight\" asphalt now used by the Roads Office, and as the raw material in neither case...\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nLORD PASSFIELD,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.",

In the original stages, the objection was more in the matter of price, with little comment as regards the quality, and subsequently, when our price was reduced to a very low figure, it was then more a question of quality than price.

In that case, it was a question of possibly affecting the vexed question of unemployment at Home, and while the present dissatisfaction in regard to \"COLFIX\", hardly applies in the same way, yet it means that an opportunity is being denied a company like our own, who are endeavouring to promote further local industry in this Colony, and which, incidentally, is adversely affecting British trade as a whole.\n\nWe believe that most of the commitments of the local Government over the last year or two for Hot Asphalt, have been placed with an American concern, and",

The contents of same are so satisfactory that it is unnecessary for us to comment further at present, but you will readily see that after a lapse of six months, the condition of the road was excellent and that the Authorities are very satisfied indeed with the material which we have already supplied.\n\nIn order to substantiate these testimonials, we might advise that in the course of the last two days we have received business from these markets to a very large extent, and consequently we have not only the written testimonials to prove the suitability of the Colfix material, but at the same time have these repeat orders, which are by far and away the most reliable proof of the material which we are in a position to supply. We trust, therefore, that if there are any doubts in your mind as to whether the Colfix material is suitable for the purposes offered or not, the above particulars will dispel any fears which you may have, and that in due course we shall be favoured with your esteemed orders.\n\nFollowing up a recent letter to you in connection with the future of Colfix, we would again repeat that business is now coming in in considerable quantities, which has actually necessitated an extension to our Plant, and we would once again renew our request that you anticipate your requirements, in order that we may be able to take care of your indents when we have the pleasure of receiving these in due course.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nFor COLFIX (FAR EAST) LTD.,\n\nNC/NF\n\nDirector.",

We think you will agree that this is a tremendous amount of traffic for any road to carry, and as the material under such conditions in London has proven to be very satisfactory, and as the traffic in Hongkong would not by any means approximate this figure, we think that this advertisement is a further splendid illustration of the suitability of our material.\n\nIn view of the fact, therefore, that Colfix now has an enormous outlet in the United Kingdom, and as business in most other markets throughout the World is continually on the increase, we are rather disappointed with the comparatively poor support which we have had from the local Authorities. We recognise at the same time certain difficulties with which you are faced, but we trust you will soon be in a position to give us further substantial business, the result of which we are quite sure will be to our mutual benefit. Meantime, we thank you for previous small orders which we have had the pleasure of executing, and trusting that we shall soon again be favoured with further business from you,\n\nwe are,\n\nFor,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nCOLFIX (FAR EAST) LTD.,\n\nNC/NF\n\nDirector.",

As, in the interval, we find that the price is still something of an obstacle towards business resulting in substantial quantities, we have gone very fully into this question during the last few days, and now beg to advise you that we have decided to still further reduce our price. We quote as follows,-\n\nCOLFIX SPRAY\n\nin barrels or drums (our option) containing about 40 British Imperial Gallons,\n\n40 Hongkong cents per gallon, delivered to your depot in Hongkong or Kowloon. Cost of barrels to be debited to you on invoice at $4 each and credited to you in full on the empties being returned in good condition to us.\n\nIn the last mail received from Home, we are advised that the sales of Colfix in all the subsidiary companies at home are advancing at a tremendous rate and that one factory alone, during the first five days of July, shipped a quantity of 37,000 gallons, while the factory which was in operation in New Zealand up to a recent date, has found their production quite inadequate for the demand, with the result that two more factories are in the course of erection. In addition to the above, we have to report that our sales through Hongkong also continue to increase to a good extent, and while the foregoing may not be of any particular interest to you, it will at the same time serve to prove that Colfix is rapidly gaining a very firm footing for use in the construction and upkeep of roads in various parts of the World.\n\nFrom rough figures which we have taken out ourselves, we find that Colfix Spray, even at 45 cents per gallon, compares quite favourably with using Hot Asphalt, and now that we have made a further reduction of 5 cents per gallon, we are quite certain that the reduced figure should bear very favourably in comparison with what you are presently using. We therefore trust that you will now see your way clear to place further and more substantial orders with us, and we look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.\n\nIn the meantime we take pleasure in enclosing a further few copies of the Great North Road at High Barnet, which carries a traffic of over 17,000 tons per day, and which, in our opinion, is as good a testimonial as one could reasonably expect to have of the suitability of the cold emulsion which we offer.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nNC/AF\n\nfor,\n\nCOLFIX (PAR EAST) LTD.,\n\nDirector.",

Director of Public Works,\n\nSir,\n\nHONGKONG.\n\n43\n\nHongkong, 17th May, 1929.\n\nRef: 2302/19D(P.W.D.).\n\nWe have the honour to refer to your letter dated 1st February, in reference to business in our Colfix material, and subsequent to same we understand an interview took place between your Mr. Goldsmith and our manager, Mr. W. N. Fleming, with the result that a further test was arranged. The test referred to took place some considerable time ago now, and we would be glad to hear if you are yet in a position to give us a report on the results obtained.\n\nIn connection with this business generally, we fear we must express disappointment at the support which has been extended to us by the local Authorities since Colfix (Far East) Ltd. was incorporated in Hongkong early in 1927. We are of the opinion that, in view of the keenness of local Government officials to develop local industries, more support might have been extended to us than has actually been the case. We understand, of course, that for some reason or another the various small intermittent tests which have been made have not proved quite up to the satisfaction of those in charge of the Road Departments, but it is somewhat difficult for us to reconcile results obtained in Hongkong with those which we have obtained in very many other markets. For instance, we have put through large business this year in the Federated Malay States, in Indo-China, in Shanghai, in Kwangtung Province, in Tientsin and also smaller quantities in Java, Philippine Island, Chefoo, Dalny and other different markets. We think, therefore, you will agree that, if satisfaction has been obtained in so many markets, as outlined above, not forgetting the enormous world-wide demand for our Cold Emulsion, surely similar satisfaction could be obtained in this Colony.\n\nWe regret if we are troubling you unduly in this matter, but no doubt you will understand that, not only from our own point of view, but from the point of view of promoting British industry in this Colony, it would assist our business quite a lot were we in a position to inform prospective customers that we had the support of the Government in Hongkong.\n\nWe understand you are already in touch with what overtures have been made in the past between the P.W.D. and ourselves, but to put the matter on record, we would just state that the original interviews were held with Mr. Goldsmith and Mr. Pegg, and in the course of two years the total gallonage sold to the P.W.D. in Hongkong has not exceeded 1,000 gallons.\n\nIn our letter dated 3rd August last year, we intimated that we were then in a position to reduce our price to 40 cents per British Imperial Gallon, but as in the interval a very large working arrangement has been made between our Parent Co. at Home and the Standard Oil Co. of California, we are now enabled, through this solid backing, to quote a lower price, and therefore can offer today at 35 cents per gallon, barrels to be charged up on invoice at cost, i.e. $4 each, and credited in full when returned to our godown.",

We feel thoroughly convinced that, provided the material is properly applied to the roads and all the instructions necessary in the application of Colfix rigidly adhered to, you would be very satisfied with our material as well.\n\nWe are, of course, entirely at your disposal for any particulars or information which you require, and awaiting the favour of your reply,\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servants,\n\nFor,\n\nCOLFIX (FAR EAST) LTD.\n\nDirector.",

On receipt of your letter, we have gone fully into all details concerning this test, and we are strongly of the opinion that in this case, as in previous tests made, the instructions necessary in the application of Colfix have not been rigidly adhered to. One of the most important points is that the road must be thoroughly brushed, preferably with hard brooms, before applying the material, and in the case of the experiment referred to, we understand that only bamboo brushes were used, which could not brush the road sufficiently well and draw the metal into relief, which is necessary. We believe that your Mr. Pegg informed us that you had no harder brushes available, but we are of the opinion that in a small matter of this kind, more facilities could have been extended to us.\n\nAt the time the test was made on Connaught Road West, and on which one barrel of Colfix spray was used, we handed to you in all five barrels, and it was understood that the remaining four barrels would be utilised for further test purposes. We would, therefore, be glad to hear if anything has been done in the matter of the remaining four barrels, and if not, we would also appreciate your views as to what steps you would be prepared to take in order to make the further experiments which we think we are reasonably entitled to expect.\n\nWe regret having to mention that we still feel that, in comparison to tests made in other markets in the Far East, we have had considerably more assistance rendered to us by these different authorities than we have in Hongkong, and for that reason, we would request that an early opportunity be afforded us of making a further test, as we are thoroughly convinced that, if the material is applied properly and all the conditions specified, carried out, the results will be exceedingly satisfactory.\n\nIn such an event, we presume that the four barrels which you have in hand just now can be utilised, unless, of course, further tests have been made and advice of which we are entirely without.\n\nWhile, as you will have gathered from our testimonials in regard to Colfix Cold Emulsion, it has been applied to roads carrying exceptionally heavy traffic in London, we would just like to draw your attention to the fact that the test carried out on Connaught Road West was rather a heavy one, in view of the fact that there is so much traffic by hand trucks and other heavy vehicles there. We think that these facts ought to be readily taken into consideration.\n\nWe trust that, on the strength of the foregoing, we will be privileged to receive a reply from you, and that you will be in a position to make arrangements for a further test on a larger scale, in accordance with our request. So far as we are",

Director of Public Works, Public Works Department, HONGKONG.\n\n5th July, 1929.\n\nSir,\n\n60\n\nWe have the honour to refer to the further test which you have been kind enough to arrange for us, and now beg to inform you that this trial was carried out with the COLFIX Cold Surfacing Emulsion on a part of Connaught Road from the junction of Central Street running East for a distance of 156 ft. 6 ins. with a mean width of slightly over 34 ft. 8 ins., giving a total area of 603 sq. yards.\n\nOwing to the very onerous nature of this trial and considering that the said road is one which carries a very heavy amount of traffic, we decided to use the COLFIX GROUT and the amount used was 4 drums each containing 40 British Imperial Gallons, i.e., a total of 160 gallons, which, on the area mentioned gives a covering area of 3.77 sq. yards per gallon, and which result we think you will agree is very reasonable indeed.\n\nOur present price of COLFIX GROUT is HK$30.37 per gallon in drums or barrels, our option, delivered to site in Hongkong and/or to your Middle Road Depot, Kowloon, it being understood that empty drums or barrels will be invoiced up to you at cost, i.e., $4.- each and credited to you in full on their return, the expense of collection of the empty containers being for our account.\n\nWe would just like to put on record that our reason for using GROUT in this instance as compared with SPRAY, which was used in previous tests, is entirely on account of the fact that through experience we have found for a road bearing such heavy traffic as Connaught Road, GROUT is the better of the two emulsions, but in case there may be any doubt in your mind as regards the comparison in price of the two articles, we would draw your attention to the fact that GROUT is only two cents more per gallon than SPRAY.\n\nIt has been pointed out to you in recent testimonials that COLFIX has proven itself to stand up in an excellent manner to heavy traffic roads, as witness the High Barnet Road in London, but we are somewhat of the opinion that in Connaught Road where there is such heavy traffic with hand trucks and other vehicles which very severely abuse the road surface, it may be found that a reinforced Bitumen road is an ideal one, but in such a case might we draw your attention to the exorbitant expense which such a road surface would entail, and consequently, therefore, we would like in due course to discuss with you the competitive costs per square yard of Hot Asphalt as compared with the Cold Emulsion.\n\nSo far as we can ascertain at the moment, our present price of COLFIX SPRAY and GROUT, taking into account the fact that no extra expense in laying a Cold Emulsion is involved, as compared with the handling of Hot Asphalt, you will find that the laid cost to you through using our material will be equally as economical, if not less than the method which has previously been in force in this Colony.\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61\n\nColony.",

Southorn, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary,\n\nHONGKONG.\n\nSir,\n\n62\n\nRef: COLFIX COLD ULSION.\n\nWe have the honour to draw your attention to the fact that the above company, which was incorporated in Hongkong early in 1927 with a view to catering for the requirements of the Far Eastern markets, has, up to the present moment, not been favoured with any support from the local P.W.D. Authorities, although we have intermittently in the course of the two years, been in touch with them. We have made repeated attempts to have them give us various tests, but in every case, the support extended to us has been unsatisfactory, and since the ramifications of Colfix, Ltd., which was recently amalgamated in London with International Bitumen Emulsions and which latter company is now very closely allied with the Standard Oil Co. of California, are very extensive, we are prompted to bring this whole question before you, in the hope that you will extend us official support in our efforts here.\n\nThe arguments of the local Authorities have always been that our Cold Emulsion is entirely unsuitable for their purposes, and while we do not presume to such an extent as would care to definitely challenge their opinion on highly technical points, we have good reason to opine that, in view of the complete satisfaction obtained by other road authorities in world-wide markets, a similar pleasant state of affairs should exist in Hongkong.\n\nTo substantiate our statements in regard to satisfactory results obtained in other markets, we beg to enclose herewith various extracts of reports which we have received, and which we think will amply demonstrate the fact that complete satisfaction has been obtained.\n\nFrankly, we are of the opinion that we have not had the consideration, nor support, which one could reasonably expect from British Authorities, and it is with extreme reluctance that we are obliged to bring this matter before you.\n\nWe do not think that there should be any doubt as to the suitability of Cold Emulsions, in view of the rapid progress which various Cold Emulsion manufacturing companies have made throughout the world in the past two years, and we are particularly disappointed at the entire absence of reasonable support from the local P.W.D., especially in view of the fact that, so far as we are aware, it is the local Government's desire for the establishment of further industries in this Colony. In the past two years of our operations, we have sold close on 250,000 gallons of Colfix, and the limit of any business received locally is 1,000 gallons.\n\nAs a further point of interest, we would inform you that the London Company is meantime working at tremendous pressure, and arrangements have lately been concluded for",

During part of the interview Mr. Craddock was present and expressed his views regarding the tests carried out with \"COLFIX SPRAY\" on the various roads under his control during Mr. Clement's absence, and he stated the results of the tests carried out on Bubbling Well Road, Yates Road and Baikal Road, were very satisfactory, and he was of the opinion \"COLFIX SPRAY\" was excellent material for road surfacing where the traffic was medium. He had sent in his report to Mr. Harpur, recommending they order a further quantity of \"SPRAY\" to carry out surface work during the coming winter months, also that they give \"COLFIX GROUT\" a very extensive test during this period.\n\nEXTRACT OF COPY OF REPORT OF THE CHEFOO INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR 1928.\n\nThe Committee have used a considerable quantity of \"COLFIX\" for surfacing work on the roads.

Southorn, C.M.G., Colonial Secretary,\n\nHONGKONG.\n\n27th September, 1929.\n\nSir,\n\n71\n\nYour reference 5959/1929.\n\nWe have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 24th September, to hand this morning, being in reply to our letter dated 29th July, 1929, in which we registered a complaint regarding the support which we had received from the Public Works Department. We further note that our letter of 29th July was unsigned, which omission we much regret, and for the sake of keeping all these matters in order, we would like to suggest that you return the said letter to us, when it will be duly signed.\n\nMeantime, however, kindly note that the signature should have been provided by our Mr. N. M. Currie.\n\nWe exceedingly regret to observe from your letter under reply that, after having made enquiries in the matter, you have been advised that every opportunity has been afforded us to prove our claim by tests of Colfix which have been made on local road surfaces. So far as this general reference is concerned, we agree that tests have been made, but we are very much afraid that our views in regard to the satisfaction given in this matter, and particularly to the support extended to us by the local Public Works Department Officials, are somewhat alienated from what one could gather from the text of your reply. It seems to us that, to explain the matter fully and to have the actual position in writing as it has been found to exist by us, will necessitate a somewhat lengthy reply to your letter, and since the whole dispute, naturally, from our own point of view, is of great importance, we must crave your indulgence should this letter be somewhat copious.\n\nIn the first place, we must take exception to the statements that the surfaces were \"prepared to the satisfaction of and also \"under the direct supervision of your own representatives\". With regard to the first point, we can only say that, with the exception of one instance, the roads were not prepared to our satisfaction, neither were the requisite materials on the spot, but we shall endeavour to bring this point more strongly before you by recording, according to our memory, the various tests which were given to us.\n\n(1)\n\nThe first test was in 1927, opposite one of the P.W.D. depots at Praya East, and we do admit that, on this occasion, the test was not at all satisfactory, neither to ourselves nor to the P.W.D. Authorities. There is, however, a reason for this, and the cause of same was due to the fact that, prior to our Works being in operation, the material utilised was supplied from Home and was, therefore, anything from two to three months old. We have explained to our various clients, including the local P.W.D., that Cold Emulsion never does improve through lying any length of time and, consequently, it does necessitate fresh material being used, and as early as possible. You will, therefore, see in this that one of the fundamental reasons for the flotation of a company in Hongkong and in other various places throughout the world, is to ensure that prospective buyers can have the material in a fresh condition and in",

In consequence, therefore, of what we write, we fear that, in regard to this first test, we must rule the point out, as the results at that time did not give the satisfaction which we also had hoped for, and certainly were not such as would justify the local Authorities going in for any Cold Emulsion.\n\n(2)\n\nAfter the lapse of a certain time, a test was carried out on the Shek-O Road, particulars of which you will no doubt be able to obtain from the P.W.D. Officials, but, in short, we must emphasize strongly that in this particular instance, as well as in subsequent cases, we had grounds for considerable dis-satisfaction. In the first place, our Manager, Mr. Fleming, proceeded to the Shek-O Road at a time which was previously arranged with one of the Officials, and on his arrival there was no one on the spot to superintend the coolies, and the proper sand for blinding and also the necessary hard brooms for sweeping, were conspicuous by their absence. Furthermore, it is to be recognized that, before applying any Cold Emulsion, the road must be swept thoroughly clean, so that the metal should be shown up well in relief. This is a very important point, but these instructions were absolutely ignored, with the result that the test was carried out under disadvantageous conditions. We might here mention that the test referred to was not at the original time fixed, but on the following day, when, after a somewhat considerable amount of investigations and telephonic arrangements, one of the P.W.D. Officials was induced to turn up as arranged. This test, however, even in spite of the adverse conditions, was quite satisfactory, but it was most evident that nothing further was done in the matter with the P.W.D. and, as had been our experience in several other dealings with them, the entire question was shelved.\n\n(3)\n\nSubsequent to the Shek-O Road test, there was one made at Kowloon, which, according to the opinion of the P.W.D. Authorities, was quite unsatisfactory, but in this particular case it was not done under the direct supervision of our representative, but was carried out by the P.W.D. Overseers, with possibly the attendance of one of the European Office Staff. This piece of ground, however, was inspected by us subsequently, and we could come to no other conclusion than that, as in the case of the Shek-O test, the facilities required were not given the necessary attention and, in consequence, it could not be expected that Colfix would show up in the most advantageous light.\n\n(4)\n\nThe fourth test was carried out on Connaught Road, and we must certainly admit that this was not satisfactory. Here again, there was a reasonable explanation for it, namely, the materials were not on hand and, in consequence, the road was not thoroughly brushed and cleaned as is necessary. Another point which we desire to record here is that, on Connaught Road, which carries practically the heaviest traffic in the whole of the Colony, we utilised Spray, which is the lighter of the two materials of our manufacture, and which actually should not have been used, as the Grout which we manufacture is specially intended for the heavier type of road. You may argue that we ought to have supplied the Grout in the first place, but being somewhat in ignorance of the actual condition of the road on which the test was to be made, we arranged for Spray to be on hand. This particular case, however, is, we think, amply demonstrative of the entire lack of spontaneous support which the P.W.D. Officials",

On this occasion, we confess that the Government, probably through pressure, gave us all the facilities required, and the test was duly made. On inspection, however, about two weeks later, it was found that several pot holes were showing, and in comparison with a test of the ordinary Hot Asphalt made alongside the part of the road on which Colfix was applied, it was to be readily admitted that the latter showed up in a better light. Once again, however, we may briefly state that the nature of the test afforded us was a most onerous one, since we had previously pointed out that we did not claim for exceedingly good results on a road like Connaught Road, where there was such heavy traffic, particularly from the steel-rimmed wheels of barrows and other exceptionally heavy traffic, and in consequence, therefore, although we were naturally somewhat disappointed, we were not very surprised that the Colfix showed up in a not altogether satisfactory light. We shall, however, have pleasure in referring further in a subsequent paragraph to this particular item.\n\nAs mentioned earlier in this letter, we have given a summary of the various tests which have been made and with, we hope, an impartial report on each. We wish to make it quite clear that, where our Colfix material has not shown up to the satisfaction of all, we are quite prepared to admit it and will continue to make any admission of faults where these can honestly be attributed to the quality of our material.\n\nHaving dealt with the various tests, we now come to consider the remarks made in paragraph two of your letter, in which you advise that photographic evidence has been produced and which appears to support the view of the Director of Public Works, namely, that our product is \"definitely inferior to Asphalt as a road surfacing material for Hongkong, with no compensating advantages in the matter of price\". Possibly you are aware that Mr. Newhouse was kind enough to afford us an opportunity of inspecting these photographs one morning after we had made a joint visit to the test on Connaught Road, and we must agree that these photographs do, up to a certain extent, corroborate the views held by the local officials. Do you not think, however, that, as in the case of a personal argument, one can very often see things in a somewhat different light if the points in dispute are viewed from a different angle. We think you must admit this fact, and consequently, after having inspected the photographs which were taken by the P.W.D., we immediately had photographs taken for our own use, but, naturally, from an angle which, in our opinion, was not quite so much to the disadvantage of the Colfix material as the photographs which you have seen must surely convey. We, therefore, beg to hand you herewith three photographs which we had taken, and on comparing them with those which you have already seen, we would be interested to know whether you still adhere to the opinion expressed in your paragraph two.\n\nWhile dealing with the matter of photographs, might we also take the liberty of enclosing herewith three photographs which we have recently obtained of work carried out on roads in Macao. These pictures cover the area which was treated some considerable time ago and a testimonial regarding which we had pleasure in attaching to our letter dated 13th September.",

While we are on the question of considering whether a Cold Emulsion is suitable for hot countries or not, it might be to our mutual advantage to keep well in front of us the fact that Colfix has been largely utilised in Saigon and also in the Malay States, from which latter place we secured the contract for the whole of 1929 from Pahang, Selangor and other smaller provinces. Furthermore, in the annual requirements of the Shanghai Municipality, they now provide for a specific quantity of Cold Emulsion in addition to the Hot Asphalt, and out of a total of 500 tons called for several weeks ago, we were able to secure an order for 150 tons of our material. It might also interest you to know that we have observed on many occasions tenders being called for by the P.W.D. in Bombay which provide for quite large quantities also of Cold Emulsions. Surely, therefore, if Cold Emulsions are so favourably considered by countries like the Malay States, Bombay, Shanghai and other places which we could name, it seems strange that the Road Authorities in Hongkong should so definitely assert that a Cold Emulsion is of no use whatsoever. It is not our desire to belittle the knowledge of the Road Authorities in Hongkong, as we would be the first to confess that the condition of the roads in this Colony is of a very high standard, but at the same time, they are not superior to others to the extent that the Authorities can so definitely say that a Cold Emulsion is of no use at all. We are anxious to have you convinced on this point as much as possible, and therefore also enclose herewith the following photographs,-\n\n1. Forres Road, Nairn, Scotland.\n\n2. Canaich Road, Beauly.\n\n3. Bridge-end Road, Bowmore, Scotland.\n\nIn each of these cases, you must readily admit that the road is in a beautiful condition and that it would be almost impossible for a more even and beautiful surface to be obtained by adhering to the old methods of a Hot asphalt. We purposely mention the word 'old', as we are strongly of the opinion, from the general advancement of business in Cold Emulsions, that the future holds wonderful prospects for the Cold Emulsion over the Hot Asphalt, and we dare to hope that, in time, the former will completely out-do the latter. In this connection, we also attach for your guidance an extract of various statements made by one of the eminent Road Authorities of the United States, who had recently visited Great Britain and the Continent. The remarks made by this party do, we think, speak for themselves.\n\nWe do not think it possible for us now to comment further on the question of tests, but before leaving this matter there is one point which we most certainly wish to mention and that is, we think we are justified in stating that, right from the commencement of our overtures with the local Authorities, there has been an unjustifiable prejudice.

While, in the course of time, the Authorities were inclined to take a somewhat more reasonable view of the whole matter, we regret that, in our opinion, there is still ample evidence of prejudice existing, and for that reason it will not be our intention to allow the matter to drop at the present stage. Our views in this respect can be upheld if you consider the fact that, although we have explained on many occasions that Colfix is not admirably suited for the heavy traffic involved on roads like Connaught Road, and have asked for an opportunity to demonstrate our material, even although it might only be used for surfacing work, our offers of free samples and requests for tests under such conditions have been completely ignored. Furthermore, reverting again to the heavy traffic roads, it has been proven beyond a doubt that even the Hot Asphalt itself is not the proper material and that, even at the moment, work is going ahead with heavy reinforced concrete roads, which, from experience, has been found to be the only solution to this matter.\n\nTo illustrate further the inconsistency of the views held by the local officials, might we refer to a call which was made by one of our friends, Mr. Templeton, on the Hon. Director of Public Works sometime at the beginning of this year. The matter was being discussed and Mr. Goldsmith's presence was requested, when he advised that he had never heard of Colfix previously. This, of course, is very unsatisfactory indeed, and on that point alone we would like to have an explanation.\n\nIn closing, we have now pleasure in referring to the third paragraph of your letter and thank you for informing us that if we desire the matter to be referred to the Colonial Office in London, it is open to us to forward to the Secretary of State, through His Excellency the Governor, a Memorial (in triplicate) on the subject. We would, naturally, prefer if this matter could be amicably arranged in Hongkong, but our feelings are so strong in regard to the support which we have received that, failing a settlement here, we do intend to bring the facts of the whole matter before the Secretary of State in London, and to have the question gone into in detail with the Directors of The International Bitumen Emulsions, as mentioned in our letter dated 29th July. Meantime, however, we shall await your further reply to the present, and we hope that we shall be privileged to receive a reasonably early reply to this communication.\n\nThanking you for the investigations which you have already made on our behalf, and awaiting your reply,\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servants,\n\nFor, COLFIX(FAR EAST) LTD.,\n\nNC/NF\n\nDirector.",

Flaning,\n\nto communicate with the Roads Office of the Public Works\n\nDepartment, with a view to arranging all details for the\n\nexecution of this further test.\n\nWe must say that we appreciate very much the assistance which you have rendered\n\nus in having arranged this test for us, which we note particularly\n\nis on a light or medium traffic road, and which is now more\n\nor less in conformity with the requests which we have made\n\nintermittently during the last two to three years.\n\nWhile we are very glad to have the test already\n\nreferred to arranged, we are, nevertheless, undecided in our\n\nown minds that the future negotiations with the local Public\n\nWorks Department Officials will have any fruitful result, and\n\nfor that reason we regret that we cannot reverse our previous\n\ndecision to refer the whole of these particulars to the\n\nSecretary of State in London.\n\nAs a matter of fact, this\n\ndecision was confirmed at the last Meeting of Board of Directors\n\nwhich we had in Hongkong, and we wish to advise you, therefore,\n\nthat we are sending a Memorial in triplicate to His Excellency",

We, nevertheless, do\n\nappreciate the assistance which you have so nicely extended to\n\nus in the whole matter, and also the investigations which we do\n\nPage 80\n\nPage 81",

        "content_text": "## 622 \n\n### CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n### MR. H.R.B. HANCOCK AGAIN PRESIDENT \n\n#### Annual Meeting Of Hong Kong Cricket Club \n\nProposed by Mr. T. E. Pearce and seconded by Mr. H. Owen-Hughes, Mr. H. R. B. Hancock was unanimously re-elected President of the Hong Kong Cricket Club at the Annual General Meeting held in the Clubhouse last evening.\n\nThe Committee, comprising, in addition to the President, Messrs. P. M. Hodgson, A. W. Hayward, A. C. I. Bowker, T. E. Pearce, J. R. Collis, V. R. Gordon, H. Owen-Hughes, E. J. R. Mitchell, and G. W. Sewell, were also re-elected en bloc.\n\nMessrs. Linstead and Davis are again to be the Club's auditors at an annual fee of $100.\n\nIn his speech, the Chairman (Mr. H. R. B. Hancock) said:-\n\nGentlemen:- From the accounts before you, you will see that our Profit and Loss account, after allowing for the necessary depreciation, shows a loss of $4,206.30, though actually the loss for the year was $791.44, as there was a small profit last year of $423.01. There was a loss in our working account of $148.56, against a profit last year of $1,229.07, accounted for by a reduction in income of $1,113.71, and an increase in expenditure of $304.43. Subscriptions were down by $561.71. On the debit side, there was a decrease under the heading of Squash Court Expenses of $841.05, and an increase in re-turfing of $705.03. There is not much change in the other items. I regret to see subscriptions down so much. Lately, however, the number of new members has been encouraging.\n\nTurning to the Profit and Loss account, you will notice that our depreciation written off amounts to $3,414.86, as against $3,574.32 last year. Turning to the Balance Sheet, overdue accounts amount to $1,903.28. We have since collected $1,503.25, and the balance is good, whilst against August chits of $2,893.95, since the account was made up, $2,483.67 has been collected, and the remainder is in course of collection.\n\n### CLUB'S FINANCES \n\nThe question of the Club's Finances has for some time past been receiving the earnest attention of your Committee, and your Committee, whilst the position on the whole shows no cause for alarm, has been seeking ways and means whereby we can improve matters and bring the Club back to a paying basis again, which we must do. You may remember I have alluded to this matter for the past two years. The price of drinks, which were far too low, have been put up, and even now are cheaper than at most Clubs, and after considerable thought, your Committee has decided that the Subscription must be raised.\n\nThe proposal, therefore, is to raise this $1.00 per month for playing members and subscribers and to leave the non-playing members as at present, $100.00 per annum. This means that from January 1st next, the subscription for all playing members, including subscribers, will be $3.00 per month, or $36.00 per annum, instead of at present $2.00 per month, with a maximum of $24.00 per annum, and the subscription will be collected monthly, instead of half-yearly as at present, which I am sure members will prefer.\n\n### SPORTS ACTIVITIES \n\nWe had a moderately successful Cricket season, and I am hoping that this year, with the addition of new recruits, we shall have a very successful year. We shall run two teams as usual, and I would appeal to the younger members of the Club to give the Captains of the two sides their keen support.\n\nThe Entries for the Annual Lawn Tennis Tournament were well in advance of the previous year, but I am sorry to say the gate receipts showed a sad falling off, due in some measure to the fact that there were no new outstanding players, and to the absence of our ex-Champion Tsui Wai-pui, also I think in some degree to a too high charge for admission to the stand. The Tennis Sub-Committee have this latter matter in hand, and I think a satisfactory scheme will be formulated before the next tournament takes place. I should like to take this opportunity of congratulating Tsui on representing Hong Kong in the Davis Cup matches in England this year. We have rather a particular interest in him, as his father was for many years a very loyal and valued servant of this Club. We have a new Champion of the Colony, Mr. H. D. Rumjahn, and the Rumjahn cousins once again won the doubles championship of the Colony.\n\n### CRICKET INTERPORT \n\nWe sent a Cricket side to Shanghai last October and lost the match by 217 runs. It was, however, a good game, and much better than the actual result would lead one to believe. Our team thoroughly enjoyed their visit, and our best thanks are due to our friends in the North for the wonderful kindness and hospitality extended to them during their stay in Shanghai.\n\nWe were greatly looking forward to a visit from Shanghai next month, but owing to the unfortunate state of affairs there, it is of course impossible for them to come down. Our sincere sympathy goes out to them in the harrowing experiences they are undergoing, and we can only hope that peace will reign again in the not very distant future.\n\nThere is only one more matter I want to refer to, and that is to thank our Honorary Secretary, Mr. Mackenzie, for all his hard work on the Club's behalf during the past year. I am quite sure all members are deeply sensible of the good work he has done for us, and we are very grateful to him.\n\nMr. Hancock then proposed the adoption of the Report and Accounts. This was seconded by Mr. P. E. Baskett and passed unanimously.\n\nImmediately after the Annual Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting was held, at which the proposal for raising the subscription, referred to by the Chairman in his speech, was put to the members present. Proposed by Mr. Hancock and seconded by the Hon. Mr. R. M. Henderson, the motion was carried.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\n### H.K. REFEREES ASSOCIATION \n\n#### Half Monthly Meeting \n\nA half-monthly referees' meeting of the Hong Kong Football Association was held at the Gloucester Building last night.\n\nA letter from the Association informing that there would be no reduction in fees was read, after which a general discussion took place.\n\nOctober 29, 1937\n\n### CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n## 623 \n\n### ITALY AND JAPAN: Clearing Up A Few Points \n\n(To The Editor, \"The Hong Kong Daily Press\")\n\nDear Sir,- News which has appeared lately in the Press and the prominent display given to them in local papers tend to give the impression that Italy is definitely helping Japan, in spite of the official denials given by the Government of Rome, which are always printed in very small types and hidden away in the midst of a multitude of other news.\n\nAs a Chinese, ready to die for my country and its noble cause, but being also a lover of justice, I would like some space in your paper in order to state a few facts which of themselves are refutation of these tendentious news.\n\n(1) On the last celebration of the Double Tenth, the Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek awarded medals and decorations to seven Italians in Nanking. \n(2) Dr. H. H. Kung on his return trip from Europe travelled on the Italian liner Victoria. \n(3) I learn from an official source in H.K. that an Italian bomber of the latest type will soon be delivered to Canton by two Italian aviators. \n(4) The story of Italian aviators in Japanese airplanes at Canton has been discounted as ridiculous even by the conscientious Chinese Press. \n(5) Dr. H. H. Kung, in an interview with a representative of the Central News Agency on Oct. 20th, extended his thanks to Italy as well as to other nations for assistance rendered to China. \n(6) It has been officially denied that Italy intends to withdraw its advisers and aeronautical experts. Over 100 Italian officers are at present in Nanchang building airplanes for the Chinese air-force. I need not point out how all Japanese reports of presumed help given to Japan have, without exception, been officially denied by Rome. Even the latest news from Japanese sources, of course, that Italy will support Japan at the Nine-Power Conference is obviously ridiculous when one reflects that Italy has not yet signified her intention of participating at the conference.\n\nProbably Italy might refuse to apply sanctions against Japan, who supported her in the Abyssinian war, but this would still be far from offering military aid to Japan, as the posters of local newspapers loudly proclaimed a few weeks ago. The sympathy of the Italian people and of all the Italians in China is unquestionably for China, and these malicious news tending to alienate the old ties of friendship between the two nations should always be read with a grain of common sense by those Chinese and foreigners who, loving their country, love also justice and truth.\n\nYours, etc.,  \nLEI CHONG PING.  \nHong Kong, October 21, 1937.\n\n### LEPER MISSION HEAD En Route To Manila \n\nDR. C. L. WONG ENTERTAINED \n\nDr. C. L. Wong, medical superintendent of the National Leprosarium at Shanghai, which is operated by the Chinese Mission to Lepers, was a through passenger for Manila by the liner \"Victoria,\" which left for that port on Saturday night.\n\nDr. Wong was entertained by Mr. Li Chor-chi, the chairman of the local auxiliary of the Mission to Lepers, at the St. Francis Hotel last Friday evening. Those present included Mr. William Yinson Lee, former president and now a member of the board of directors of the Mission, Dr. Sargent of the Kwangchi Hospital, Hangchow, Mrs. Wing-chan, treasurer of the local auxiliary, and others.\n\nThe National Leprosarium at Tszang was undamaged up to three weeks ago, according to Dr. Wong, but as some of the fiercest fighting has been going on in that sector, there is little hope of saving this $120,000 institution. Half of the 100 inmates have been transferred to a building administered by the Chung Shan Memorial Hospital in Shanghai, while others have been sent to various leprosaria.\n\nDr. Wong will spend six months in the Philippines, principally at Cullon, Cebu, and Manila, where he will investigate the latest methods in the treatment of leprosy upon a fellowship granted by the American Leprosy Foundation, of which Mr. Percy Burgess, who is now en route to the Colony from the United States, is president.\n\nDr. Wong said that a number of lepers have been cured of the disease by injections of chaulmoogra oil distributed to hospitals by the Chinese Mission to Lepers.",

        "content_text": "# \n! \n\nforced them to huddle up like sheep. This is to my mind not only expressive of the Japanese sense of proportion but his innate nature.\n\n## AN UNFORTUNATE ADVENTURE\n\nThe famous Burma Road is not without its dangers, especially with reckless drivers. My experience commenced when I left Kweiyang for Chungking. Just before the well-known 72 curves, an over-loaded N.R.C. truck, with its paraphernalia of wolfram sacks, mercury bottles and passengers, was trailing behind another truck which found itself stopping half-way up a steep slope. Our driver put on the brakes, but with no success. The truck slipped backwards and crashed on to a rock. Nothing serious happened on this occasion, but this was the prelude to the main disaster and illustrates the dangerous situation we were constantly in. Miraculously, the truck managed the 72 curves safely. But, while coming down a small hill about two kilometres from Chuchiang, the left brake failed; the driver lost his presence of mind and headed the truck straight for a rock, then jammed on the brakes. The truck was completely overturned, two men killed instantaneously, two sustained serious injuries, one miraculously escaped and, for myself, I am at present recuperating from a compound Colles' Fracture and a dislocated elbow.\n\n## THREE VOLUNTEERS ESCAPE\n\nI cannot vouchsafe that our escape from the Japanese internment camp at Sham-shui-po was anything dramatic, but it was nevertheless quite a thrilling adventure for us. Undoubtedly it was an enterprise worth undertaking, however great the risk, and it was prompted not by a desire to escape from a life of rice and beans, for \"man does not live by bread alone\", but by a rebellious hatred of our captors and all that they stood for.\n\nThe camp borders the sea and the old wooden jetty was a favourite rendezvous of soldier, sailor, regular and volunteer alike. Everyone was a philosopher resigned to his fate. You could see a Canadian fishing with a common hook and line, a weather-beaten old sailor watching the ships not far off, a Royal Scot snoring in an afternoon siesta and a Middlesex corporal reading Shakespeare. I was thinking of Masefield's \"Call of the Sea\" one day, when I met a sergeant of the Royal Grenadiers, a short and stout young man, who looked typically a soldier and a Scot. A tete-a-tete ensued, in the course of which he asked me why I had not thought of \"making a break\". I was planning, I told him, but the time was still inopportune. \"Oh,\" he said, \"it is easy,\" and he divulged to me what was supposed to be a secret.\n\nIn the small hours, every morning, a boatman used to bring quantities of food-stuffs to the side of the jetty to sell to those internees who could still afford to buy. Sugar, sardines, pork and beans - these were sold like hot-cakes at colossal prices. This petty business done in the dark must have brought the fisherman a fortune. Surely a bargain could be struck with the man. It was a happy piece of news and it greatly revived the spirit that was slowly being sapped within me.\n\nI was at the jetty the next morning with two friends. We were there only to watch, not to act. We saw a lot. We saw officers and privates lined up in two queues down the gangway, waiting for the boat to arrive. It was pitch dark, and one and all were mute and quiet. No one desired to wake up the Japanese sentry! We had not long to wait. The boat drew near, quietly, very quietly indeed, and stopped next to the jetty. It was an ordinary fisherman's boat, such as one sees along the coast of China. Business soon began, with a Volunteer named \"Charlie\" acting as the middleman. Everything had to be transacted promptly and fast - 5 for a tiny packet of sugar, 10 for a tin of sardines, and so forth.\n\nIt was \"Charlie\" who bargained with the boatman for us the next day, and the two friends and I were carried to the boat by friendly hands. There were more than a hundred of them that morning and they were glad to see us making a bid for freedom. In their heart of hearts, they wished they could join us, and they raised a soft cheer for us as the boat moved away. We did not expect such a send-off and we felt it augured well for the voyage.",

R. Collis,\n\nThe Bank Line (China) Ltd.\n\nDated: 11th October, 1946.\n\n\"I have to acknowledge receipt of communication dated 23rd September addressed to me by the Chairman of the Port Administration Inquiry Committee and at the outset must apologise, that owing to pressure of other business I have not replied earlier. I would however at this time thank the Chairman for the opportunity of expressing my views on the question of port administration on behalf of my Principals.\n\n\"I have given very careful consideration to the report of the late Sir David Owen and note the terms of reference of your Committee.\n\n\"My chief, Mr. A. H. Penn, who is at present absent from the Colony, was privileged to express his view on this matter during the stay of the late Sir David Owen in the Colony and I feel I am only confirming his views when I say that generally speaking I do not favour the introduction of a Port Trust in Hong Kong. The formation of such a body, would in my opinion involve enormous overhead which would result in heavy increase in cargo handling charges at this port. This has proved to be the case in Singapore where charges are far in excess of those ruling in Hong Kong.\n\n\"I consider the best interests of the merchant and shipowner and in turn the general public would be served by continuing to allow commercial interests to control the wharves, berthing facilities and godowns, particularly in view of their past excellent record of efficiency and cheapness.\n\n\"I appreciate that there are many aspects of this problem apart from the mere handling of commodities. In the past Harbour Department have administered the Harbour in a satisfactory manner and I consider that the affairs of the Harbour could continue to be left safely in the hands of the Harbour Master. Likewise I am of the opinion that Ferry Wharves and port development generally could still come under the care of the Public Works Department.\n\n\"Since the cessation of hostilities the Port Executive Committee has come into being which I feel is serving a very useful purpose. Perhaps the scope of this Committee could be broadened so as to become a link between Government and private interests to the betterment of Harbour administration generally.",

That whether in future the Port continued to be administered by Government or by a Port Trust, it would be false economy not to have a first-class man in charge of its administration so that his greater knowledge and experience would ensure that the maximum benefit was derived from any development scheme which might be approved.\n\nThat a Port Trust would give business interests more opportunities of direct representation than the Secretariat for Transportation which Mr. Colman had suggested as an alternative, but that it would be little more than a co-ordinating body, and once a plan had been agreed and private enterprise had indicated what it was proposing to do, co-ordination could best be effected either by a single person enjoying the confidence of all interests concerned, or by a very strong Port Advisory Committee.

R. Collis, The Bank Line (China) Ltd.\n\nDated: 11th October, 1946.\n\n\"I have to acknowledge receipt of communication dated 23rd September addressed to me by the Chairman of the Port Administration Inquiry Committee and at the outset must apologise, that owing to pressure of other business I have not replied earlier. I would however at this time thank the Chairman for the opportunity of expressing my views on the question of port administration on behalf of my Principals.\n\n\"I have given very careful consideration to the report of the late Sir David Owen and note the terms of reference of your Committee.\n\n\"My chief, Mr. A. H. Penn, who is at present absent from the Colony, was privileged to express his view on this matter during the stay of the late Sir David Owen in the Colony and I feel I am only confirming his views when I say that generally speaking I do not favour the introduction of a Port Trust in Hong Kong. The formation of such a body would, in my opinion, involve enormous overhead which would result in heavy increase in cargo handling charges at this port. This has proved to be the case in Singapore where charges are far in excess of those ruling in Hong Kong.\n\n\"I consider the best interests of the merchant and shipowner and in turn the general public would be served by continuing to allow commercial interests to control the wharves, berthing facilities and godowns, particularly in view of their past excellent record of efficiency and cheapness.\n\n\"I appreciate that there are many aspects of this problem apart from the mere handling of commodities. In the past Harbour Department have administered the Harbour in a satisfactory manner and I consider that the affairs of the Harbour could continue to be left safely in the hands of the Harbour Master. Likewise, I am of the opinion that Ferry Wharves and port development generally could still come under the care of the Public Works Department.\n\n\"Since the cessation of hostilities the Port Executive Committee has come into being which I feel is serving a very useful purpose. Perhaps the scope of this Committee could be broadened so as to become a link between Government and private interests to the betterment of Harbour administration generally.\"\n\n73",
