These had only just been completed when the call for the strike broke out. I at first was doubtful as to the desirability of submitting the Regulations for the Ratepayers' approval, the old ones never having been so referred. A Meeting was, however, necessary to vote the additional supplies required, and the Ratepayers would naturally require full particulars of the purpose for which they were to be voted.\n\nIt therefore seemed, in the end, best that the Regulations should also be passed by them.\n\nThe Minutes of the Meeting include the full text of the new Regulations as drafted by the French and the British Municipal Councils jointly and as passed by the Ratepayers.\n\nThe Speech of the Chairman of the Council also includes a Statement of the case down to the date of the Meeting.\n\nPrior to, and since the beginning of the strike, the native press had been busily engaged in fomenting a boycott.\n\nOdstrylba, Minister,\n\nPage 316", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 502636, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "content_text": "Colombe Gas & Water Company Limited.\n\n148.

Following are main points he makes. He has as Commander-in-Chief, China theatre, every right to send troops to Hong Kong but had never intended to do so. He has no objection whatever to British forces going there. But surrender everywhere must be carried out in accordance with Allied arrangements and in China theatre it is his right and duty to accept surrender or to delegate his power to do so.\n\n3. I put forward arguments as to Hong Kong not being \"within China\", and our right to re-occupy and re-establish position in British territory, but he stuck to what he considers his military-legal rights as Commander-in-Chief China theatre.\n\n4. Chiang Kai-shek stated that he had informed President Truman of his decision to delegate his powers in respect of Hong Kong to a British officer and that the President had expressed his appreciation of this action. Chiang Kai-shek had also informed General MacArthur.\n\n5. Chiang Kai-shek spoke of his desire for good relations with His Majesty's Government and of his hope that they would improve.
