The knowledge that the former may best be promoted by a removal to a larger circle of duty, affords the only satisfaction that we can derive at the prospect of a termination to that official intercourse with your Excellency, which has throughout your administration, been uniformly so gratifying to us.\n\nF.

In succession to Mr. Glenie at Trincomalie, I would then propose to appoint the Rev. Mr. Simons, who is now Colonial Chaplain of the Kandyan districts. His present salary is 200l., and by assigning from his future salary of 700l. at Trincomalie a sum of 234l., to make up the income of the Archdeacon on his retirement to 500l. per annum, Mr. Simons would have an immediate income of 466l., which on the death of the Archdeacon might be made up to 500l., at which sum I would propose that it should be fixed for Mr. Simon's and his successors in that chaplaincy.\n\n10. To the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Simons' removal from the Kandyan districts, I would beg to recommend the appointment of the Rev. E. Mooyaart. He is the son of one of the oldest civil servants, a gentleman of Dutch extraction, and has been educated in England. He is now acting temporarily as Colonial Chaplain of Trincomalie, and his appointment to the Kandyan districts would imply his permanent attachment to the Ecclesiastical Establishment; and in a sphere in which by birth and local experience he is well calculated to be useful.\n\n11. I have received, and beg to enclose to your Lordship a Memorial from Mr. Mooyaart, transmitted to me by the Bishop of Colombo, who strongly recommends his appointment to the vacant chaplaincy.\n\n12. Should your Lordship sanction these arrangements, I shall be prepared to carry them into effect on receiving the signification of your approval.\n\nSir,\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(signed)\n\nEnclosure 1, in No. 1.\n\nTorrington.\n\nColombo, 6 December 1849. I HAVE the honour to communicate, for the information of his Excellency the Governor, my wish to retire from the office of Senior Colonial Chaplain, if Her Majesty's Government will grant me such a retiring income as my long service and my rank seem to require.\n\nMy services are as follows: My official appointment to the office of Senior Colonial Chaplain is dated in April 1831; since which, in April 1850, it will be 19 years. The letter of appointment is signed by Earl Grey, then Lord Howick and Under Secretary of State for the Colonies. I left England on the 24th of August in the same year, 1831. But from a protracted voyage, and subsequent detention at Cochin on the Malabar coast for one month, I did not arrive in Ceylon until the beginning of February 1832. I received half-pay from the date of embarkation.\n\nFrom February 1832—18 years in February 1850—I have been in the island of Ceylon, without once leaving its shores. It is true that I am now on 18 months leave of absence from my duties of Senior Chaplain, though in this island. But it is likewise known that I am not, and have never been, wholly without clerical employment. I have a small congregation at Ratnapoora, where a small church has been built by my son-in-law, Mr. Mitford, the Assistant Government Agent at that station. And I am endeavouring to lay the foundation of a mission in a district where the Church had not yet been in operation.\n\nMy exact age at this date is 58 years and six months. And though my health, which has been impaired during the last few years, is greatly improved by my present comparative rest, I cannot expect, at my time of life, to be capable for any length of time of the permanent resumption of my duties in a tropical climate, and after so long service as Senior Colonial Chaplain, which is the most laborious and important clerical charge in the colony. My wish, therefore, is now to retire from that office.\n\nBut as the pension which I can claim under the existing Pension List for my long service will be utterly inadequate to my moderate wants, nor suitable to the rank I hold in the Church, I respectfully request that his Excellency the Governor, in consideration of the long period of my past service, will have the goodness to recommend to the Right honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that my retiring pension be augmented, from the salary or salaries of the chaplain or chaplains benefited by my retirement, to the amount of 500l. per annum during my life, the augmentation thus derived to revert to the Church at my decease.\n\nI may perhaps be admitted to state, as a precedent for this provision, that the late Archdeacon Glenie, on retiring from office on the expected arrival of the Bishop, in 1845, received during his life 400l. per annum in addition to his pension, which was paid out of the income of the present Bishop, and has now, since the death of the Archdeacon, reverted to the Episcopal revenue.\n\nI must be allowed distinctly to state, in conclusion, that it will not be in my power to retire on a less income than 500l.\n\nThe Honourable Sir J. E. Tennent, Colonial Secretary.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) B. Bailey.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nON COLONIAL CHURCH LEGISLATION, &c.\n\nEnclosure 2, in No. 1.\n\n5\n\nColombo, Ceylon, 11 December 1849. It is but due to an estimable clergyman, who has served the church in this diocese for six years, wherever his services were most needed, and everywhere effectively as well as diligently, in the absence of different Colonial Chaplains, to state that his claim for any vacancy that may occur deserves, in the estimate of his Diocesan, all the kind consideration which your Lordship may be willing to show towards one whose character and conduct are exemplary.\n\nI have, &c. (signed) J. Colombo.\n\nThe Right Honourable Earl Grey,\n\n&c. &c. &c.\n\nTo the Right Honourable the Earl Grey, Secretary of State for the Colonies, &c. &c. &c.\n\nThe humble Memorial of the Reverend Edward Mooyaart, B.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Acting Colonial Chaplain of Trincomalie,\n\nRespectfully showeth,\n\nThat your memorialist, understanding a vacancy is likely to be occasioned in the ecclesiastical establishment of this colony, by the contemplated retirement of the Venerable B. Bailey, D.D., Archdeacon of Colombo, and Senior Colonial Chaplain, begs to solicit confirmation to the Chaplaincy of Trincomalie, which he now holds ad interim, and which he understands will in all probability be vacated by the promotion of the present incumbent, the Reverend S. Owen Glenie, thereby leaving it at your Lordship's disposal.\n\nYour memorialist respectfully submits for favourable consideration in support of this request, that he has been acting Colonial Chaplain, on half salary, for the last six years, with the full concurrence and sanction of the Bishops of Madras and Colombo, and begs to refer to those his respective diocesans for testimony as to the manner in which he has, during that period, discharged his duties at Kandy, Galle, and his present post. In addition to which, he anticipates that testimonials in his favour may be furnished your Lordship by the Bishop of London, and the Venerable Thomas Thorp, Archdeacon of Bristol.\n\nThat your memorialist has transmitted two applications to be regarded as a candidate for a Colonial Chaplaincy; first, to Lord Stanley, in March 1844, and afterwards to Mr. Gladstone, in June 1846, both of which received the support of his Excellency the Governor the late Sir Colin Campbell, who also recommended him for the Chaplaincy of Kandy, when vacated by the secession of the Reverend Mr. Wenham, junior, and subsequently for the Chaplaincy proposed to be instituted at Nuwera Ellia, in the same year.\n\nYour memorialist would further respectfully submit, in addition to the above circumstances, which he humbly trusts may be admitted to give him a personal claim, in preference to other applicants, on the favourable consideration of Her Majesty's Government, that he is a native of this island, the eldest son of an old civil servant and member of Council on this Establishment, now retired on pension, after 30 years' service, and the next representative of a family settled in the colony for the last two centuries, during which period his ancestors held the highest post under the Government of Holland. That your memorialist was sent to England in early childhood, where he had the benefit of a liberal and expensive education, with a view to qualify himself for a Chaplaincy in this colony, in firm reliance on the gracious and enlightened encouragement held out by Her Majesty's Government to British colonists to aspire after local appointments; and that since his return to the island, he has been anxiously hoping for the fulfilment of his long-cherished wish, which he earnestly years ago, he trusts to your Lordship's well-known sense of justice may now at length be realized.\n\nAnd your Memorialist, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.\n\nTrincomalie, 6 December 1849.\n\n(No. 494.)\n\nNo. 2.\n\n(signed) E. Mooyaart, Acting Colonial Chaplain of Trincomalie.\n\nCopy of a DESPATCH from Earl Grey to Governor the Viscount Torrington,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nDowning-street, 15 February 1850. I HAVE received your Lordship's despatch No. 182,* of the 12th December, transmitting a communication from the Senior Colonial Chaplain, Dr. Bailey, Archdeacon of Colombo, tendering the resignation of his chaplaincy, provided an adequate allowance can be assured to him on his retirement, and reporting the arrangements which your Lordship would propose for filling up the vacancy.\n\nPage 3\n\nIV.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey on the subject of the proposed restriction of the import of foreign opium into China.\n\n2. With reference to the statement made by the Chinese Government that the average annual import of Indian opium into China during the five years 1901 to 1905 was 42,327 chests of 120 catties (160 lbs.) each, according to the Customs Returns, I am to explain that the 51,000 chests mentioned in my letter dated the 29th May, 1907, as the annual average export from India to China represent the number of chests consigned from Indian ports to Hong Kong and to Treaty ports in China. The Chinese Government are correct in their statement that the imports of Indian opium into Treaty ports averaged only 42,827 chests for the five years, according to the Returns of the Maritime Customs. The difference between the two sets of figures is due to the position occupied by Hong Kong as an opium entrepôt for the Far East. It is possible that all the opium which enters China from Hong Kong does not come under the cognizance of the Maritime Customs. For the purpose of the proposal made by Mr. Secretary Morley that the Indian opium trade with China should be reduced by means of a restriction enforced in India on the total export of opium from India to all countries beyond seas, and that no direct limitation of imports should be applied by China in the Treaty ports, a rate of reduction based on an assumed export of 51,000 chests to China would be more favourable to the policy of the Chinese Government than a rate based on the recorded import of 42,327 chests.\n\n3. It is not clear from the telegram whether the Chinese Government have accepted what Sir J. Jordan, in his letter to Prince Ch'ing dated the 12th August last, termed the \"counter-proposal of His Majesty's Government.\" It might be inferred from their wish to base restriction on a standard of 42,327 chests that they desire to obtain power by Treaty or Convention with His Majesty's Government and other Treaty Powers to impose direct limitation on the import at the Treaty ports, and that, starting from this standard, they would reduce by one-tenth per annum the amount of Indian opium permitted to enter China through the Treaty ports.\n\n4. I am to suggest that inquiry should be made of His Majesty's Minister as to this point. I am to say that, if the Chinese Government prefer to obtain power of direct restriction by means of Convention or Treaty, Mr. Secretary Morley sees no objection. The counter-proposal was made as a simple, expeditious way of indirectly reducing the amount of Indian opium available for the China market, which could be put into effect by the Government of India without the necessity for negotiating a Convention which would require to be accepted by other Powers before it could be operative.\n\n5. If the Chinese Government prefer the method of direct restriction, it must be understood that the counter-proposal would drop, and that the Government of India would be free to regulate the production and the export of opium in accordance with their estimate of the requirements of the world generally. In so doing, they would, of course, have regard to the reduced requirements of China, but they would be unable to control the ultimate destination of such stocks of opium as might, within the limits fixed by them, be exported from India, inasmuch as any restrictions which they might lay down could be evaded by shippers consigning, for instance, to ports out of China and subsequently altering the destination of their consignments.\n\n6. I am to inclose the draft of a telegram, the substance of which, if Sir Edward Grey sees no objection, might be communicated to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed) COLIN G.

But, as regards a line from Bhamo to Tengyueh, the prospects of which are considered promising, if a Concession can be obtained the Government of India will be prepared to carry it out, though probably not in the immediate future (i.e., in the next two or three years), either themselves or with the aid of a Company. If, however, the Chinese authorities wish to participate in the enterprise, the Government of India will also be prepared to accept a scheme involving their participation and co-operation, provided that efficiency in the construction and working of the railway is secured.\n\nIn the event of any such Concession being obtained, it is desirable that it should carry with it a promise to permit the gradual extension of the line to Yunnan-fu under British auspices, as prospects of traffic may be held to justify the construction of extensions.\n\nI am to request that Mr. Morley may be informed of the views of Sir E. Grey on the question, and of the instructions which he may think it desirable to issue to the Representatives of His Majesty's Government in China in the matter.\n\nIn the meanwhile, Mr. Morley agrees that, as suggested in the letter from the Foreign Office of the 9th instant, Consul-General Wilkinson should be instructed to desist from further action with a view to securing a Concession for the construction of a line beyond Tengyueh.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nCOLIN G.

Report and estimates of the Bhamo-Tengyueh Railway project by Mr. Lilley are incorporated in Railway Board's R. C. Proceedings for July 1907, Nos. 192 to 196A, to which we invite attention.\n\nWe are prepared to recommend grant of guarantee on loan on reasonable terms, but recent information before us leads us to doubt whether this would meet the case. Even if a guarantee were given no Company could build the line until it had obtained from Chinese Government a Concession for the portion in Chinese territory,\n\nSir J. Jordan in his despatch to the Foreign Office, No. 28 of the 22nd January, 1908, suggests that it would be impossible to obtain from China a Concession for the Bhamo-Tengyueh line for a Company guaranteed by the Government of India, and that the only terms on which Concessions for construction of railways in China can now be obtained are terms similar to those contained in the Agreement for the Tien-tsin-Pukow line, under which ownership and complete control by China are insisted upon. Should this view be correct, we think the best course will be to approach the British and Chinese Corporation, who has now successfully negotiated and completed several Agreements for railways in China, with a view to their obtaining from China a Concession to raise a loan on Tien-tsin-Pakow terms for a line from the British frontier to Yunnan-fu. Under this arrangement the only liability imposed on Government of India will be to construct section 40 of the line in British territory, but as negotiations might be expected to be protracted and difficult, we should be prepared to contribute towards the preliminary expenses involved, say, to the amount of £10,000.\n\n[1814 -1]\n\n806\n\nPage 363\n\n...\n\nPage 363", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417280, "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": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 606, "title": "CO129-352 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "268\n\n603 C.O.

If they are raised they will have to be discussed; and Lord Morley is not without hope that the consequences will not be as serious as the Government of India apprehends. But I am to suggest that the telegram should be communicated to Sir Clementi Smith and to Sir Alexander Hosie for their information, with such observations as Sir Edward Grey may think fit to make.\n\nWith regard to the first of the two questions mentioned in the telegram, I am to say that though the Commission will doubtless wish to inform itself as to the Regulations in force in India for restricting the consumption of opium in that country, and to compare them with the practice of other countries, it may be disposed to recognize that purely domestic Regulations of this kind have no bearing on the question of opium traffic in the Far East, and that it is not called upon to pronounce upon their sufficiency. The British Delegates will be able to show that the Indian Regulations are the result of much thought and care, and it may be remarked that in their application to Burmah they were favourably commented on by the American Commissioner, who in 1905 investigated for the Government of the United States the opium question in the East.\n\nWith regard to the second topic referred to in the telegram, I am to say that Lord Morley thinks that the Chinese Government may be disposed to inform the Commission that it is satisfied with the arrangement which has been concluded between it and His Majesty's Government for the progressive restriction of the Indian opium trade, and its extinction *pari passu* with the extinction of the cultivation of opium in China at the end of ten years. The available evidence goes to show that the period that has been fixed by the Chinese Government itself is none too long for the suppression of the opium habit and opium cultivation in China; and at the present early stage of the reform it would not be fair to India to ask it to revise in advance of the facts an Agreement which already has entailed considerable sacrifices on the part of the public revenues, the native Chiefs, and the peoples of India. If the Agreement is to be revised, the proper stage for revision would be two or three years hence, when the progress of reform in China could be more accurately determined than at present.\n\nIt might be an advantage if the attitude of the Chinese Government towards the arrangement already made and the ten-years period could be diplomatically ascertained before the meeting of the Commission. I am to suggest that, if Sir Edward Grey sees no objection, His Majesty's Minister might be instructed to this effect.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed) **COLIN G.

In reply, I am to say that it seems doubtful whether the committee's letter calls for a detailed and reasoned reply on the lines suggested in your letter. The Government case has already been stated at length in the reply addressed by the Foreign Office to the Edinburgh Committee on the 8th December, 1909, and that case is not materially disturbed by the considerations advanced by the London and Edinburgh Committee. The reports in the \"China White Book No. 3 of 1909,\" from which the committee quote, were before His Majesty's Government when your letter of the 8th December, 1909, was written, and they entirely bear out the view taken in that letter, that the present question is not whether the ten years' period for the extinction of the Indian trade should be shortened, but whether the Chinese Government will be able to satisfy His Majesty's Government, when the experimental term expires in December of this year, that they have carried out so far their part of the agreement. This being the present position, it is useless to speculate whether total suppression of the poppy cultivation in China will or will not be achieved within or before the appointed time, and what would be the disposition of His Majesty's Government in circumstances at present unknown.\n\n3. I am also to suggest that, for a definitive statement of the present attitude of His Majesty's Government with regard to the ten years' agreement, the committee should be referred to the answer given by the Under-Secretary of State for India in the House of Commons on the 10th March, 1910, to a question asked by Mr. Theodore Taylor.\n\n4. With reference to the last paragraph of your letter, I am to say that the Government of India have now telegraphed that they concur in the suggestion that steps should be taken by the British Government during the present year to ascertain by means of an enquiry conducted by a selected consular officer the extent of poppy cultivation in China prior to the close of 1910. They presume that Sir Alexander Hosie would be the officer selected, and that he would choose his assistants, who would work under his direction. I am to express the hope that Sir Edward Grey will be able to arrange for the enquiry, and that it will be set on foot as soon as practicable. Viscount Morley considers that the revenues of India should not be required to defray any portion of the cost.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nCOLIN G.

Jordan's views on the sufficiency and suitability of the proposed conditions before they are communicated to the Chinese Government, Viscount Morley has no objection to this course being followed.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nCOLIN G.

Subject to enquiry by selected consular officer we agree to further reduction of exports in 1911. Selected officer would presumably be Tosie; the assistants considered necessary should be chosen by him and should work under his orders. But enquiry in 1910 can only give starting point for estimating future reductions, and unless continued in subsequent years will not prove of great practical value. We think that the following lines might be adopted in approaching China. First, there is an admitted absence of trustworthy statistics of cultivation in China prior to 1908; and presumably, therefore, Chinese Government will be unable to supply strict proof that the conditions of our mutual undertaking have been completely fulfilled. Secondly, sincerity of China is, however, acknowledged by British Government, who will accept evidence of partial success to following extent, viz., that exports shall continue to be diminished proportionately for three more years, 1911 to 1913, on terms previously agreed on, with the further condition that, as proposed above, enquiry be made in 1910 and repeated in subsequent years, so that we may obtain trustworthy evidence of the extent to which opium cultivation in China has been reduced.\n\n(Extract.)\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nGovernment of India to Viscount Morley.\n\nOctober 28, 1910.\n\n11.

It was not intended to suggest that the protection afforded to Indian opium against provincial taxation in China by the additional article to the Chefoo Convention should be waived.\n\nThis matter will be further discussed in replying to your letter dated the 25th May, 1910, on the subject of Mr. Max Müller's telegram No. 95. Meanwhile, I am to suggest that pending instructions on that telegram Mr. Max Müller should be directed to continue to act on the assumption that no change is contemplated in the treaty rights secured by the additional article, and to instruct the consul-general accordingly. So far as Lord Morley is able to judge, the consul-general's protest is in general conformity with the attitude observed by His Majesty's Government in similar cases.

Apart from the fact that we as British merchants are entitled to have the support of our Government in the legitimate pursuit of our trade, we must be all the more entitled to that support when it is realised that the opium which we import is bought from the Government of India, on the clear understanding that no interference with the freedom of its sale in China will be allowed.\n\nWe have, &c.\n\nE.

IN continuation of this office's letter dated the 1st July, 1910, on the subject of the proposed Opium Conference at The Hague, I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to forward, for the information of Sir Edward Grey, a copy of a letter from the Government of India, stating the action that they have taken and propose to take with regard to the resolutions adopted by the International Opium Commission at Shanghai.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nCOLIN G. CAMPBELL.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nGovernment of India to Viscount Morley,\n\nSimla, June 2, 1910.\n\nWE have the honour to refer to your Lordship's despatch dated the 6th August, 1909, in which you ask for a statement of the action which we propose to take in regard to resolutions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 adopted by the International Opium Commission at Shanghai.\n\n2. We enclose copies of the letters which we have issued to local governments on this subject. In the first two of these, dated the 25th October, 1909, we asked for their recommendations on certain special points arising out of the commission's resolutions. In the last, dated the 26th May, 1910, and written after a full consideration of the commission's report, we communicated our concurrence in the resolutions, and intimated that we were prepared to consider any practicable means of rendering them effective in this country. Your Lordship will also have observed the references to this subject in paragraphs 48 and 49 of the speech in which our honourable colleague, Sir Guy Fleetwood Wilson, introduced the financial statement for 1910-11 in the Legislative Council.\n\n3. Pending the receipt of replies from the local governments, we are not in a position to state what precise action it will be possible to take in the directions suggested by the International Commission; but we may with advantage indicate at once our provisional opinions. Of the five resolutions which we are asked to consider, two bear on the question of internal regulation. In the first of these the commission recommend the gradual suppression of the practice of opium smoking with due regard to the varying circumstances of the different countries concerned, and in the other they suggest the desirability of a re-examination by each country of its own system of regulation with a view (as the preamble to the resolution implies) to incorporating in it any improvements which may be expected to ensure an increasingly stringent control over the use of the drug.\n\n4. As your Lordship is aware, the practice of opium smoking has never been generally adopted in India, it is discouraged by public opinion, and very severely restricted by our own regulations. The sale of smoking preparations is entirely prohibited, and the 600 shops where such sale was previously carried on have been abolished. No individual is allowed to be in possession of a quantity of opium prepared for smoking exceeding 180 grains in weight, and in several provinces this restriction has been supplemented by a further rule limiting the aggregate quantity which may be possessed by a party of persons to a maximum of 900 grains. The quantity of opium daily used by an opium smoker is so large in comparison with that required by an opium eater,\n\n[2812 g-2]\n*\nExcluding Burmah.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429372, "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": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 109, "title": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n[B]\n\n# OPIUM.\n\n## CONFIDENTIAL.\n\nCO 29814/108/(September 14, 1910)\n\nSECTION 1.\n\n[33412]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nSir,\n\nIndia Office to Foreign Office.—(Received September 14.)\n\nIndia Office, September 14, 1910.\n\nI AM directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th August on the subject of the date for the assembling of the proposed Opium Conference at The Hague, and to suggest that a reply should be made to The Hague Government in the sense that His Majesty's Government have asked the Government of the United States for assurances on certain points and for assent to certain conditions, and that until they have received and considered the reply they are not in a position to intimate their intention to participate in the proposed conference or to suggest a date for the meeting.\n\nWith reference to your further letter of the 26th August, 1910, I am directed to inform you that Viscount Morley concurs in the terms of the draft reply to the United States Ambassador, subject to the amendments suggested in the margin of the enclosed copy, and assents to the proposal to reserve for future consideration, after Sir C.

WITH reference to your letter dated the 30th September, 1910, enclosing copy of Mr. Max Müller's telegram No. 162, dated the 29th September, on the subject of the China opium arrangement, I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to forward, for the information of Sir Edward Grey, a copy of a telegram from the Viceroy, conveying the views of the Government of India on Mr. Max Müller's proposals for prolonging for a further term of seven years the arrangement with China.\n\nThe Government of India have been instructed to repeat to Peking the latter part of the Viceroy's telegram containing the specific recommendations of the Government of India on the several conditions suggested by Mr. Max Müller.\n\nViscount Morley would suggest, if Sir Edward Grey sees no objection, that Mr. Max Müller should be instructed to continue his negotiations with the Chinese Government on the basis of the conditions he has suggested, modified so far as may be practicable in the direction of the Government of India's recommendations.\n\nI am to enclose the draft of a telegram* which may serve to explain to His Majesty's chargé d'affaires the points in which his conditions would require to be modified in order to conform to those recommendations.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nCOLIN G. CAMPBELL\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nGovernment of India to Viscount Morley.\n\nOctober 15, 1910. (Telegraphic.) P.\n\nOPIUM Max Müller's telegrams Nos. 159, 161, and 162, and your telegram of the 3rd October.\n\nWe wish to explain our view of the position in general, so far as we are informed of it, before discussing the proposals of China. The policy of assisting Chinese reforms has our cordial support, but there are interests of important trade to safeguard, complicated problems in the Native States to face, and our diminishing revenues, any loss of which we can ill afford, to be protected. The anxiety caused us by the events of the last six months may not have been fully realised, and we must urge that India's interests should be most carefully considered.\n\nThe present position is that the spirit of the original agreement has been broken by China by regulations illegally imposed at Canton and other places. By neglecting to take measures in advance to prove that her home production of opium has been reduced, China has failed to demonstrate that her own share in the agreement should be renewed on terms which, while giving no guarantee on her part that our trade will receive fair treatment, impose new and burdensome obligations on us.\n\nHer hands are to be freed and ours tied, as though it were we, and not China, who had infringed the original agreement. This does not appear to us to be politically desirable or in accordance with equity.\n\nFurther, an invitation has been extended to China to propose additional measures for our reduction of export, and she has been encouraged to revive the proposal that the consolidated import duty should be increased. We consider that if the British Minister had pressed our proposals of last March these developments would have been unnecessary for the present. Our position has been weakened in the interval owing to the frequent occasions on which British protests against the illegalities at Canton have been rebuffed, and to the attitude initially assumed by British Minister in respect of the grievances fictitiously raised by China regarding the diversion of our trade with...\n\n* See telegram to Peking No. 138, October 24, 1910.\n\n[2957]\n\n-2)\n\n320", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429590, "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": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-373 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\nOPIUM.\n\nNo. 1.\n\nC O 12972\n\nIndia Office to Foreign Office.(Received October 25.)\n\nIndia Office, October 24, 1910.\n\nSir,\n\nWITH reference to the letter from the American Ambassador, dated the 4th October, on the subject of the proposed International Opium Conference, copy of which was forwarded under cover of your letter of the 14th October, I am directed by the Secretary of State for India in Council to point out that Mr. Whitelaw Reid's letter appears to be based on the assumption that His Majesty's Government has agreed to take part in the conference, the proviso contained in Sir Edward Grey's letter of the 17th September, as to satisfactory assurances being given on certain points, being regarded by him apparently as a proposal rather than as a condition of the assent of His Majesty's Government.\n\nI am to suggest that the United States Government should be asked whether steps have been taken to obtain the stipulated assurances from the other Powers as the consent of His Majesty's Government to take part in the conference was made conditional on these assurances being first obtained.\n\nI am also to suggest that it should be ascertained from the Board of Trade how long it will take to collect the necessary statistics and to complete the preliminary enquiries into trade conditions with reference to morphia and cocaine so far as the United Kingdom is concerned.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nCOLIN G.

Both these sites lend themselves (if necessary) to the suggestion in paragraph III of the previous committee's report dated 13th February, 1912, namely, the erection of a station partly on the foreshore and partly in the water. They also comply with the suggestion contained in paragraph 3 of the Secretary of State's **Confidential** Despatch of 20th December, 1912, namely, that the site should be to the West of Kowloon Old City and that no high hills should intervene between it and Singapore.\n\n3.

It was then pointed out that the headquarters of these desperadoes were well known to the Authorities and that if strong measures were taken to deal with these villages it would have a salutary effect. My Committee are still of that opinion.\n\nThey are glad to learn from the Foreign Office letter to the London Chamber of Commerce of the 28th May, which has been supplied to this Association by the Chamber, that the Chinese Government have agreed to co-operate with His Majesty's Government in formulating a scheme of joint action in the matter in concert with the Government of Hongkong and the British Naval Authorities.\n\nAfter consultation with experts who have intimate knowledge of the conditions prevailing, we would respectfully suggest that the only really effective means of suppressing piracy would be the institution of a regular convoy of passenger steamers engaged on the Hongkong-Canton service, between Cap-shui-mun and Whampoa and the reverse, and for those engaged in the West River service, between Cap-shui-mun and Wang-mun and the reverse. It has been pointed out that of late nearly all the piracies have taken place between the points indicated. Cap-shui-mun and Wang-mun are situated in the delta of the Canton and West Rivers, and are to all intents and purposes on the open sea; so that not less than four vessels of a sea-going type would be required for the work.\n\nMy Committee at the same time wish to record their opinion, that, although the searching of all passengers prior to embarkation at Hongkong is thought to be impracticable, the occasional search of individuals, specially of suspicious-looking characters, should be continued, as a precautionary measure calculated to act as a deterrent.\n\nIn August, 1906, we wrote that if the local Authorities willed the end and would employ the method, a British Naval Officer might be relied on to produce order within twelve months, if authorized to organise and control a force of Chinese with sufficient and appropriate craft for the service.\n\nH.M. Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,\n\nForeign Office,\n\nDowning Street, S.W.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) F. ANDERSON,\n\nChairman.\n\nNOTE—The reference in the above letter to \"a consultation with experts\" relates to an informal meeting which took place at the offices of Messrs. John Swire & Sons yesterday (3rd June). Advantage was taken of the presence in London of Captain W. E. Clarke, Secretary of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co., to talk over the general question of piracies in Southern China, specially with a view to offering to the Foreign Office some practical suggestion for dealing with the evil.\n\nThere were present, besides Captain Clarke, Messrs. H. W. Robertson, Colin Scott, F. Anderson, C. H. Ross and the Secretary. The meeting lasted nearly an hour, and the subject was considered from all points.\n\nThe suggestion that passengers should be searched before embarkation at Hongkong, and that their baggage should be stowed below, was found to be impracticable. Captain Clarke said he had naturally given much attention to the question and he was convinced that the only effective means to suppress piracy would be the convoy of river steamers on both their upward and downward trips, between the points mentioned in the foregoing letter—practically across that 40 mile stretch of open sea which forms the estuary of the Canton and West rivers.\n\n(The West river itself is under the patrol of three gunboats, the \"Robin\" and others, and Whampoa is but 15 miles below Canton.) Gunboats of the \"Robin\" type were too frail and altogether unsuited for service on open water of this nature as it was often too rough to be safe for them, and hence being lonely and unpatrolled nine-tenths of the piracies of recent times had occurred in that vicinity.\n\nHe considered that at least four vessels would be required for the work. After some discussion it was agreed that the proposal should be submitted to the Foreign Office as the best, and so far as could be seen, the only solution available; but the feeling of the meeting was not entirely sanguine that it would be adopted by H.M. Government, chiefly because it offered no finality.—H. Q.

Fiddes.\" The \"X\" before \"Sir\" is likely an error.\n - \"alovce\" is unclear.\n - \"me Hewin\" could be a name or term, possibly \"Mr. Hewin\".\n - \"fr. Long.\" could be \"Mr. Long.\".\n - \"than Lu meri li\" is unclear.\n - \"Uncurlet A ale conner Cand\" is likely a misreading.\n - \"para 13 57 1. desp of 5th rupt tho 5. Abreached\" is difficult to correct without understanding the context.\n - \"Kom tone action approves 57. de\" is unclear.\n - \"Min cuttie Cobbja 0\" seems to be a misreading.\n - \"dess of 10th Setot compensat corca birt astroved stirring cartmann & was\" is heavily corrupted.\n - \"Love subject to quartagum Suashion lined in par. 15 therese watir\" is also heavily corrupted.\n\n2. **Reordering and reformatting**:\n - The text appears to be a jumbled collection of names, terms, and what seems to be minute or note references. Reordering might be necessary to make sense of it, but the original structure is not clear.\n\n3. **Applying Markdown formatting**:\n - The task requires outputting in HTML with `` for paragraphs, which has been done.\n\nHowever, given the constraints and the quality of the OCR output, a more detailed correction is challenging without additional context. The original output in HTML format is maintained as per the instructions.\n\nIf we were to correct and reformat according to the rules, the output might look similar but with some adjustments for clarity and correctness where the original text is clearly erroneous or where the context is understood.\n\nHere's an example with some corrections and adjustments for clarity:\n\nDRAFT.

The trouble was due, to a great extent, to a want of appreciation of the peculiar needs of Chinese when travelling by rail. The first cause of trouble was a demand by the Chinese for chop sticks and plates before entraining. The former were provided at once in Calcutta and put in the train, and a wire was despatched asking that the latter should be placed in the train en route. The train started late from Howrah in consequence and arrived at the first stopping place, Chakdharpur, about 3 hours late on the 30th April 1918. The men who had had a meal early on the 29th April had by this time consumed more of their rations than they ought to have done. Mr. Colin Campbell, the Conductor in charge, wired to the Commandant, Combined Labour Depot, Bombay, to arrange for rations at Nagpore and also to the Deputy Commissioner, Nagpore. Cooked rations were sent by the Commandant, Combined Labour Depot, to Nagpore. The Deputy Commissioner provided cooked rice at Nagpore. The cooked rations, chiefly consisting of tinned meats, were provided at Manmad, after which there was no further trouble. As regards the Conductors, there are refreshment rooms en route, at which they could have been served.\n\nParagraph (3) of Colonial Secretary's letter.—For this contingent, third-class stock at 43 men per bogie was supplied, together with an upper-class bogie for the Conducting Officer, Supervisor, sub-Assistant Surgeon, and Hospital.\n\nThe Supervisor in charge, Mr. Morris, stated, on disembarking, that the Chinese were accustomed to three hot meals a day and should have their third before entraining. As there was no time to arrange this, a supply of 1 lb. of bread per man was issued at Howrah, and Mr. Morris was advised accordingly.\n\nRations were supplied at the docks according to the scale laid down for Chinese in Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force General Routine Order No. 241362 of 1917, with the exception of fresh meat. Mr. Morris refused this and also an offer of tinned meat in lieu; we are not aware of the reason. Rations were provided, two days for the journey and one day's reserve. Cooking coppers, camp kettles, ladles, chop sticks, and Chinese bowls, sufficient for all, were also supplied. An escort of one British Officer and 30 Indian ranks accompanied the party to Bombay.\n\nParagraphs (4) and (5) of Colonial Secretary's letter.—Though the incidents referred to are regretted, we are inclined to the opinion that the Chinese labourers must be regarded as somewhat difficult to please, especially in time of war, when our shipping was fully utilised by various classes of personnel who had to be catered for.\n\nParagraph (6) of Colonial Secretary's letter.—The \"Santhia\" had on board a Chinese contractor whose duty it was to ration the men throughout the voyage, and the trouble has been due (1) to the failure of the contractor to make adequate provision, (2) to the failure of the authorities at Shanghai to advise the proper authority in Singapore of the despatch of the draft.\n\nOn receipt of the original complaint, an officer of Army Headquarters was despatched to Calcutta to make enquiries, as a result of which complete instructions were drawn up, copy enclosed, for dealing with Chinese. These orders have worked satisfactorily.\n\nThis officer also arranged that Chinese should not, as a general rule, be entrained direct from the Transport, but should go to a selected Chinese Boarding House for the night. While in the Boarding House, a money allowance is given to each man in order to make provision for the train journey, and they are advised, through the medium of Chinese interpreters, of the nature of the journey they have before them and what they will require en route.\n\nThe Boarding House affords facilities for the purchase of bowls, chop sticks, and the food peculiar to Chinese, and in practice, the money allowance has proved to be the most satisfactory way of dealing with this class.\n\nOfficers experienced with Chinese have also been appointed to conduct parties to and from India. The recruitment of Chinese has now been stopped, and all those in East Africa and Mesopotamia are being repatriated as rapidly as possible.\n\n257AD-20-29-7-19-GCPS", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 482290, "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": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "page_number": 338, "title": "CO129-458 - Public Offices & Others - 1919", "content_text": "QUESTIONS.\n\n7.

Scott, one of the London Directors of Messrs Butterfield and Swire, who told me that his firm is fighting the action against the Crown on the argument that the Government, having notified the shipping Companies that they considered the circumstances rendered the provision of guards necessary, it was the duty of the Government to provide these guards.\n\nThe real grievance, I gather, was that the firms considered the charges for guards (a typical account is given in `Enclosure No.1`) were very excessive.\n\nI also attach reports from the Hongkong Police on the following subjects:-\n\n| Enclosure No. | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `Enclosure No.2` | Rescue from Pirates of persons kidnapped from S.S.

Col. Mott, Mr. Colin McKenzie (S.O.E) and Mr. MacDougall. They were also informed of the suggested approach to President Truman (on 54144/38) with the object of enlisting American support for our approach to Chiang Kai Shek for the purpose of negotiating an agreement to provide for administration of Hong Kong by a British Civil Affairs Unit in the event of Hong Kong being occupied by regular Chinese Forces. It was agreed that such an understanding with Chiang Kai Shek would substantially smooth our path in the event of it being necessary to introduce an emergency Unit into Hong Kong in the event of its occupation by irregular Chinese Forces.\n\n2. Mr. McKenzie and Colonel Mott agreed that D.O.A. should now start working out a new scheme for such an Emergency Unit based on some place outside China.\n\n3. Some consideration was also given to the action which ought to be taken in the event of an early complete Japanese surrender and it was suggested that, in this connection, a memorandum should be prepared for the Chiefs of Staff that arrangements should be made for the immediate despatch to Hong Kong of some suitable fleet Units, in the event of a complete collapse of the Japanese becoming imminent.

M. Calvert, D.S.O. to see Mr. Paskin and myself yesterday morning. The purpose of the visit was in order that the Brigadier might give us further information about the Volunteers whom he commanded in Hong Kong before the war and for whom he still has a considerable interest. He was not able to give us much additional information about the Volunteers since he had not lately been in touch with them, but what was of more interest was that the Brigadier explained that he himself belonged to the most secret organisation known as S...S. (Special Air Services). It appears that this Unit had been responsible for dropping men by parachute behind the lines in Belgium and Holland, etc. and that he now hopes to engage in similar activities in the Far East. If so, it is his intention to try, if possible to use some of the Chinese Hong Kong Volunteers who had been employed in General Wingate's expeditions in Burma.\n\n2. This proposal seems to be exactly what we are looking for in connection with our plans to have an emergency party ready to forestall any possible seizure of Hong Kong by irregular Chinese forces. Owing to the fact that it was thought that Major Owen Hughes was not perhaps aware of these plans, they were not discussed with the Brigadier, but since he himself mentioned D.S.O. and the name of Mr. Colin Mackenzie, Mr. Paskin suggested that he should see Mr. MacKenzie and tell him that he had recently been discussing.\n\nwith", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-591-11 Emergency unit 1-1-1945 - 31-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 582919, "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": "CO129-596-4 Hong Kong University- Apprenticeship scheme 4-2-1947 - 3-9-1947", "page_number": 42, "title": "CO129-596-4 Hong Kong University- Apprenticeship scheme 4-2-1947 - 3-9-1947", "content_text": "## K \n\ndeclerot \n\nfrom the following list (the numbers are those allocated to the applicants as stated in paragraph 4 of Sir Ralph Stevenson's despatch):- \n\n| Number | Name | Age |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 13501 | WATT Hoi-wo | (30) |\n| 140277 | ICHENG Pao-King | (34) |\n| 200 | LAI King-Shang | (35) |\n| | WONG Chun Keung alias Colin William Wong | (20) |\n| | KAI-Yi | (36) |\n\n1.
