This union of HANGGON, PERANG, SINGAPORE, and in CHINA.\n\nqualities is fabled in their national legend of “Beauty and the Beast,\" yr, long before, in the Greek legend of Hermaphrodite. \"The two sexes are co-prezent in the English wind. I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination.

The Annual Examination of the Pupils of St. Joseph's Academy took place yesterday evening and terminated at 11 o'clock at night.\n\nThe Examination of the pupils under the charge of the Lady Superioress and Sisters of Charity, was held yesterday at the Convent and did credit to the untiring exertions of those under whose management this establishment is so ably conducted.\n\nThe Annual Examination of the Girls Department of the Singapore Institution Schools under Mrs. Audel's superintendence took place yesterday.\n\nPenang, from Mr. G.

Il n'y a pas d'autre raison, car les recettes sont les mêmes et il s'agit ici de valeurs classées et non à placer.\n\nLes recettes brutes hebdomadaires des chemins de fer français, prises en prises en bloc, ne sont guère moins bonnes en 1876 qu'en 1875, mais c'est tout, et il y a purement arrêt dans la baisse, sans amélioration sérieuse dans les résultats. Voici les chiffres:\n\nA l'ancien réseau, il y a augmentation de 14.24 % sur le Midi, 7 % sur l'Ouest, 4.51 % sur l'Orléans, 3.25 % sur l'Est, et 2.70 % sur le Lyon, et diminution de 6.83 % sur le Nord. An nouveau réseau, augmentation de 21.76 % sur le Midi, 4.16 % sur l'Ouest, 3.46 % sur l'Est, et 2.63 % sur Orléans, et diminution de 2.03 % sur le Nord et 6.40 % sur le Lyon. La ligne du Rhône au Mont-Cenis (Lyon) et les chemins Algériens (Lyon également), ont, la première, diminué de 0.02 % et, les derniers, augmenté de 22.06 %. Les lignes de Lille à Valenciennes, du Nord-Est et de Lille à Béthune, exploitées par le Nord, sont en augmentation, respectivement, de 177.30 %, 88.27 % et 2.23 %. En dehors des six grandes compagnies, nous avons, pour les lignes d'intérêt général tout d'abord, augmentation de 44.21 % sur la ligne des Sables-d'Olonne à Tours (Vendée), 19.99 % sur le Vitré à Fougères, 4.87 % sur le Médoc, 2.42 % sur la Dombes (Sud-Est), et 0.50 % sur les Charentes, réseau entier, et diminution de 7.37 % sur la ligne de Sedan-Lérouville, appartenant à la compagnie de Lille à Valenciennes. - Quant aux lignes d'intérêt local, elles nous fournissent les augmentations suivantes: 57.16 % sur la ligne de Poitiers à Saumur (Vendée), 39.08 % sur la ligne de Falaise à Berjou-Pont-d'Ouilly (chemins normands), 17.48 % sur l'Orléans à Rouen et 0.99 % sur Caen à la mer (propriété privée). En fait de chemins étrangers, nous avons des augmentations de 20.98 % sur le Nord de l'Espagne (réseau propre), 17.33 % sur le Pampelone-Barcelone et 1.82 % sur les chemins portugais, et des diminutions de 4.90 % sur les chemins autrichiens, 2.61 % sur le Sud de l'Autriche (chemins lombards); 23.13 % sur le Madrid-Saragosse-Alicante-Séville, et enfin 53.20 % sur l'Alar-del-Rey à Santander, appartenant au Nord de l'Espagne.\n\nEn somme, voici, depuis le commencement de l'année, c'est-à-dire pour les 46 premières semaines écoulées, les résultats de 1876 comparés à ceux de 1875 :\n\n% 3.95 3.26 Chemins Algériens + 6.98 ע 500 17750 Auiches, 1. nov. 186......

H. Lineker since 1858, and I believe him to be a gentleman of character, and sound professional knowledge; he pursued his medical studies at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and College, under my observation, and made himself well informed in the science and practice of medicine and surgery. Mr. L. has since enjoyed large opportunities of practical experience in his profession, and in proof that he has not neglected his more strictly scientific knowledge, he satisfactorily passed a prolonged examination at the Royal College of Physicians, London, in Autumn, 1872, and has since been admitted a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. I consider that he is in all respects highly qualified for the appointment of Surgeon to any public institution.\n\n**GEO.

H.

P. Cobb, Esq., Solicitor.\n\n53, LINCOLN'S INN FIELDS,\n\nMay 7th, 1877.\n\nMY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,\n\nMr. EDWARD HUME informs me that he is a candidate for the Secretaryship of the Governing Body of Winchester College. Though I have never had any business to do with Mr. HUME, and therefore cannot speak from actual experience of his capacity in that respect, I have known him for many years, and I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to his qualifications for the duties which, as I understand have been assigned to the office.\n\nPerhaps I may be allowed to say--without entering into details--that he seems to me to be a man of the kind out of which a good College Bursar may be made. Besides this, he has had several years of legal experience, and he possesses in a most unusual degree the power of getting on with everyone with whom he has to deal.\n\nI remain,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nHENRY P. COBB.\n\nTo the Governing Body\n\nof Winchester College,\n\nGENTLEMEN,\n\nFrom Bay, A. Robinson, M.A., Fellow of New College, Oxford.\n\nNEW COLLEGE, OXFORD,\n\nMay 1st, 1877.\n\nGENTLEMEN,\n\nI understand that my friend Mr. EDWARD HUME is a candidate for your Secretaryship. I have read very carefully the printed statement of your terms, and I know no one, who would in my opinion, perform the various duties better than Mr. HUME. I am able to say this confidently, as I have known him for 17 years, and he was in my office from 1871 for nearly two years. During that time in addition to assisting me in my business he kept my books, which would, I think, in many respects be similar to yours. Among the duties of the Secretary enumerated in paragraph 7 of your circular, there are none with the exception of superintending the College Establishment, of which Mr. HUME did not have practical experience while he was with me. I am sure you would find him an excellent Secretary.\n\nI am, GENTLEMEN,\n\nYours very truly,\n\nALFRED ROBINSON.\n\nTo the Governing Body,\n\nWinchester College.\n\nFrom J. F. Bright, M.A., Fellow and Dean of University College Oxford.\n\nUNIVERSITY COLLEGE, OXFORD,\n\nApril 27th, 1877.\n\nI have known Mr. EDWARD HUME well for nearly 20 years ever since he was a boy in my house at Marlborough College. He has very good abilities, much sound sense, and a remarkably conscientious habit of mind, which makes all his work very thorough and careful. A considerable time spent as a conveyancing Barrister must have given him a good training in regular and business habits and fitted him well for the place he is now seeking.\n\nSocially he is exceedingly pleasant. It would be impossible I should think to find a man with whom it would be more easy to work, or who would more thoroughly enter into the interests and objects of those who employed him. Any body obtaining his services, would I feel sure have got an able and efficient and at the same time a most trustworthy and agreeable Secretary.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lords and GENTLEMEN,\n\nTo the Governing Body,\n\nWinchester College.\n\nYours obediently,\n\nJ. FRANCK BRIGHT.\n\nFrom C. P. Ilbert, Esq., M.A., Barrister-at-Law, late Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford\n\n2, New Square, LINCOLN'S INN,\n\nMay 8, 1877.\n\nMy old friend, Mr. Edward HUME, tells me that he is a candidate for the office of your Secretary. I have known him at School, at College, and at the Bar for the greater part of 20 years, and during that time have had many opportunities of forming an estimate of his practical abilities. Perhaps I may describe him best by saying that he is one of those persons whose names naturally suggest themselves, and whose services are sure to be put in requisition by their friends whenever an amateur Secretary is needed. I have frequently been brought into contact with him when he has been acting in that capacity, and whether the matter in hand has been the organization of a club, of a social gathering, or of a testimonial, I have always found that his frank and genial manners, his tact, his sound and ready sense, and his business-like habits have tended to make the transaction of any business in which he has been concerned easy, speedy, and pleasant. Bearing in mind the qualities to which I have referred, I feel sure that if you select him for the post which he now seeks, he will discharge its functions admirably.\n\nI have the honour to remain,\n\nMy Lords and GENTLEMEN,\n\nTo the Governing Body,\n\nWinchester College.\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nC.

A delicate level and a filar micrometer constitute the zenith-telescope attachment. The level is affixed to one side of the tube, with its length at right angles to the horizontal axis, and revolves on a centre, its indications serving to give a measure of any small change of inclination of the telescope consequent on reversal. The value in arc of one division of this level, as determined at the Washington Naval Observatory, is 1.067. The micrometer-screw carries three parallel threads perpendicular to the ruled lines of the transit reticule, the middle one of the three being that which is commonly used for measuring differences of zenith-distance. The value in arc of one revolution of the screw, as ascertained from numerous careful observations at the Washington Observatory, is 68.\"698; and, as the graduated screw-head is divided into 100 parts, each of which can be read to tenths by estimation, it affords a measure of .069 of a second of arc. The whole number of turns is read off on a comb at the side of the field of view, and these, for convenience, are numbered consecutively from left to right as viewed, the central tooth being Number 20. Parallactic motion is given to the eye-piece by a long-pitched screw, so that stars can be accurately observed either on the north or the south of the middle of the field.\n\nObserving-hut—For shelter, I had a roomy and well-designed portable wooden observatory, with the requisite openings, which was given to me by Lieutenant-Commander GREEN.\n\nThe instrument-pier is of Canton blue bricks set in Portland cement, and rests on a shallow footing of brickwork, but not isolated below the ground-level, though it has no contact with any part of the hut. This was found to answer very well, no unsteadiness having been perceptible during ordinary movements in the hut.\n\n## Zenith-telescope method of determining the Latitude\nIn determining the latitude or declination of the zenith by the zenith-telescope method, the general procedure is as follows. Pairs of stars are chosen for observation, such that their meridianal zenith-distances shall be nearly equal, but on opposite sides, north and south, of the zenith, and that they shall pass the meridian within a few minutes of one another. There is no fixed limit to the zenith-distance suitable for this method, but it is desirable not to pass much beyond 25°, and in this determination I have limited myself to within 20°, while the mean for all the pairs observed is just 8°. For difference of zenith-distance of any pair of stars the usual limit is 20' of arc, in order that the stars may not be too near the edge of the field, and also that the resulting latitude may not be too largely affected by any error in the adopted value of the micrometer-screw. I have practically conformed to this limit on the present occasion, having in the case of two pairs only passed a little beyond it. The difference of Right Ascension should be not less than one minute, in order to allow time for reading and reversal, and it should not exceed twenty minutes, on account of the risk of instrumental changes in the interval, resulting from changes of temperature. About sixteen minutes is the greatest interval for any pair used in this determination.\n\n## Method of observation\nFor observing, the instrument, having been previously adjusted carefully to the meridian, and its cross-axis levelled, is clamped at the mean of the zenith-distances of the two stars, and then directed at the proper time to the star which will pass the meridian first of the pair, the bubble of the telescope-level being brought to the middle of its run by the screw for that purpose. This star is bisected with the micrometer thread at or near the moment of its passage over the middle transit thread, the time being noted and, immediately afterwards, the level and micrometer-screw readings. The instrument (telescope and level remaining clamped) is then reversed, and it will evidently now be inclined to the zenith at the same angle as before, but on the opposite side of it, so that the second star will at the proper time appear in the field. This star is bisected at or near its transit, and the chronometer, level and micrometer read as before. The above constitutes one complete observation for latitude.\n\n## Advantages and disadvantages of the method\nThe chief advantages of this beautiful method over all others are—that it substitutes for measurements of large arcs small micrometric measurements of difference only of zenith-distance; that the time needs not be accurately known, an error of two or three seconds being of no moment; that possible errors arising from incorrect estimates of refraction are reduced to a minimum, inasmuch as the only term involving refraction which affects the result is the difference of refraction for stars at small and nearly equal zenith-distances; and that the effects of errors of flexure are similarly minimised. Its \"weak point,\" at the present day, is the scarcity, for any station, of stars fulfilling the necessary conditions whose declinations have been determined with high precision. The stars available are mostly of small magnitudes, a circumstance which, though favourable to accurate bisection, presents the drawback that, as compared with the Clock and other Standard stars, they are seldom observed at the fixed observatories, except under special arrangements for this particular purpose.\n\n## Selection of Stars, and Computation of Mean Places\nIt follows that, when possible, stars from the best catalogues only should be chosen; and, keeping this in view, I have limited myself to using none but stars that have been observed at the Royal Observatory, and whose places are given in the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872. In that catalogue, the Mean Places of the stars are given for the epoch 1872, January 1. Those places have been reduced to the epoch 1882, January 1, by the formula,\n\nMean R.A., 1882, January 1 = A + (p + q + $\\frac{n}{2}$n + c)\n\nwhere A is the star's Mean Right Ascension for 1872, January 1, p its Annual Precession in Right Ascension, q the variation of p in 100 years, $\\gamma$ the star's Annual Proper Motion in Right Ascension, n the number of years elapsed, and c the small correction from the Table at page 5 of the Introduction to the Catalogue.\n\nIn this case, n = 10, and the formula becomes,\n\nMean R.A., 1882, January 1 = A + 10(p + q) + ...\n\nSimilarly, I have computed the Mean North Polar Distances by the formula,\n\nMean N.P.D., 1882, January 1 = D + 10(p' + q') + ...\n\nwhere ... is the small correction from the Table at page 27 of the Introduction to the Catalogue.\n\nForty-eight stars, formed into 28 pairs, were used in the determination, each pair having been observed from one to five times. The average is two times for each pair, making 56 determinations, on eleven nights in January and February. Of these it has only been necessary to reject two as imperfect. The following Table exhibits, for each star, in Column I its name as taken from the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872; in Column II its number in that Catalogue; in Column III its number in the British Association Catalogue; in Column IV its Mean Right Ascension for 1882, January 1, computed as above; and in Column VI its computed Mean North Polar Distance for the same date. Columns V and VII show the number of observations at Greenwich, of Right Ascension and North Polar Distance respectively, in the Nine-Year period 1868 to 1876, which were combined to form the Mean Places given in the Catalogue for 1872, January 1.\n\n### TABLE I.

Opposite Pulo Brani and at the foot of the Mount Faber range, are the wharves of the Borneo Company, Jardine's Company, and the Peninsula and Oriental Company. The total length of these wharves is about 600 yards. Still further to the westward, and near the western entrance to the New Harbour, which is only about 300 yards wide, are the wharves, docks, fitting shops, and coal sheds of the New Harbour Dock Company. Here are two docks, 415 feet and 459 feet long respectively, whilst the wharves will accommodate five or six vessels. These wharves, docks, and machine shops are now constantly under use by Dutch ships of war, which are sent here from Acheen to repair and refit, and may of course also be used by vessels of the Royal Navy. Their situation is most advantageous, for it will be seen that the New Harbour is covered on the sea side by the Blakan Mati and on the land side by Mount Faber with its adjacent hills; the entrance from the westward is narrow, whilst the Outer Shoal and Pulo Brani partially close the eastern entrance to vessels of heavy tonnage. The harbour thus assumes the form of a long arrow-shaped navigable basin which, with but little difficulty, could be closed against hostile vessels.\n\n## Existing Defences\n\nThe existing works of Singapore are weak and insignificant. Built many years ago, they were only intended to meet local requirements, and were constructed without reference to the importance of the place as an Imperial Naval Station. They are five in number, viz--Fort Canning, crowning the hill at the back of the town; Fort Fullerton, situated on the low projecting spit at the entrance of the Singapore river; Mount Palmer Battery, constructed on the steep sea-face of the hill of the same name; Mount Faber Battery, situated on the south-eastern extremity of that ridge, at a height of 132 feet; and a battery for two 13-inch Mortars near the site of the flag-staff (Point 1) at a distance of about 900 yards from the last-named work, and at a height of about 300 feet above the level of the sea. The position of these defences is shown on `Plan (D)`.\n\n### Fort Canning\n\nFort Canning is a long, narrow, straggling work, 450 yards in length by 80 yards in mean width, its trace approximately following the top contour of the hill on which it is built. It is unprovided with flank defence; the parapets are weak and badly proportioned; the ditch is shallow and insignificant; the scarp and counter-scarp are for the most part unrevetted; the glacis are only partially swept by musketry fire from the parapet; the magazines are not bomb-proof and are much exposed; and there is, moreover, little or no bombproof cover for the garrison.\n\nThe armament in its present condition is practically unserviceable. Most of the S.B. guns with which it is armed require re-venting, and the wooden carriages and platforms, upon which they are mounted, have all suffered from exposure to climate.\n\nAt the southern end of the Fort is an outwork called the South or Seaward Battery. The terreplein of this battery is at a somewhat lower level than that of the main work, and its gorge is closed by the main parapet. It is armed with seven 68-pdrs. S.B. guns of 95 cwt.--only one of which is at present serviceable. Five of these guns, however, are repairable. The main work is armed with eight 8-inch S.B. guns of 65 cwt. mounted at intervals at the salients, together with three 13-inch M.S. mortars of 36 cwt. on its south-eastern face. In the centre of the terreplein stand a Barrack and Offices, originally built to accommodate two garrison batteries of Royal Artillery. They are now occupied by the headquarters of one battery of Royal Artillery and by a company of Infantry.\n\nFort Canning is too retired to be of service for the defence of the roadstead, even if the work were remodelled to receive a heavy armament of long range. A fire from this work, moreover, would not only be ineffective in itself, but would draw an enemy's fire on the town. The fort, however, occupies a position from whence Singapore is well commanded on all sides, and, in case of an insurrection of the coloured population, it would be a valuable place of refuge for the Europeans of the settlement, whilst its fire would overawe the town and prevent the insurgents from maintaining possession thereof. If properly armed, its western faces would command the valley which extends towards Mount Faber, and with a work, to which I shall hereafter refer, on this point, the intervening country would be swept, and an enemy prevented from advancing on the land side to attack the establishments in the New Harbour.\n\nFort Canning should, therefore, be maintained, not as a work to aid in the defence of Singapore to seaward, but to combine with a work on Mount Faber, and an intermediate field redoubt, in sweeping the valley between itself and Mount Faber; also to command the chief quarters of the town. It should, therefore, undergo such alteration and receive such armament as would secure these objects. I would recommend that four rifled guns of small calibre--say 64-pdrs. Palliser converted M.L.R. guns--should be mounted on the western faces; that the 8-inch S.B. guns, which form part of the existing armament, should be re-vented and re-distributed in the most convenient manner to command the town; that the glacis should be cleared and levelled, and the profile of the work so altered that the musketry fire from the parapet should sweep the ground in front; that a palisade be constructed...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-205 - Public Offices - 1882.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 322497, "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": "CO129-210 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [6-7]", "page_number": 369, "title": "CO129-210 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [6-7]", "content_text": "358\n\nabsorbed in preparing the sites which school, for him a house. may be built is sleep as a house roof. a 024 the plot of ground. shown hinted green in Drawing h: 1.

But I am told that Messrs.

This was followed by the usual Local Government Inquiry, at which some evidence in opposition was given. At the meeting of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary Authority on the 4th inst., the question was discussed, and a resolution passed upholding a previous one in favour of the formation of the proposed district, as they 'saw no reason to change their opinion after hearing the objections raised at the recent Government Inquiry.'\n\nNOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nHaving for some time back been in the receipt of Queries appertaining strictly to sanitary work, and which it would be easy to answer, without having to refer our correspondents to competent professional advisers, we have opened a column in which to register such Queries and Replies thereto as can fairly be expected from us; and our subscribers and readers are invited to make such use of this column as will tend to benefit themselves and the community. Both Queries and Replies will, however, be subjected, if unnecessarily long, to a strict curtailment.\n\n205. TEST SOLUTIONS FOR WATER ANALYSIS.\n\nI should be much obliged if you would state where you would recommend me to get reliable test solutions for water analysis according to Wanklyn.\n\nR.M.O.H. [Messrs. Y. E. Becker & Co., 34 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, W.C., supply the solutions in a satisfactory state.—ED.]\n\n206. WATER SUPPLY.\n\nCan you recommend me any book that gives the average quantity of water used or required per head of population throughout the country?\n\nC. W. P.\n\nThe most reliable information as to the quantity of water which should preferably be allowed per head of population under varying conditions is to be found in Parkes' and De Chaumont's 'Practical Hygiene,' and it would, perhaps, be useless to seek elsewhere, as all the information upon this subject is brought down to a late date. Consult the Sixth Edition (1883) of the above work, pages 3 to 7. The publishers are Messrs. J. & A. Churchill, 11 New Burlington Street, London, W. (See also SANITARY RECORD, Aug. 16, 1886, page 91.) All engineers strive as much as possible to allow 30 gallons per head for domestic purposes, and in the work above mentioned this amount is thus distributed—Domestic supply (without bath or closets), 20 gallons; add for general baths, 4 gallons; water-closets, 6 gallons; unavoidable waste, 3 gallons—total, 33 gallons.—ED.]\n\n207. QUALIFICATIONS OF A CHIEF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.\n\nWhat do you consider the proper qualifications for a chief inspector of nuisances in a town of between 90,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, whose salary will be between £140 and £160 per annum? There will be several inspectors under him, and there is a medical officer of health who does not practise privately.\n\nALPHA.\n\nThis is not a question which lends itself to any such short answer as alone is possible for us in this corner of the RECORD. But our correspondent will find fully detailed remarks as to the qualifications for the post which he describes in the number for May 15, 1883, p. 510.]\n\nJEYES' PERFECT PURIFIER' is a disinfectant in fluid form of extraordinary efficacy. It is used in the Royal households and by Her Majesty's Government establishments, the Corporation of London, Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets, various steamship and railway companies, the principal hospitals, &c., and is authorised by the Board of Trade and the Indian Government. The testimonials which have been received bear the names among others of such unimpeachable authorities as Sir R. Rawlinson, C.B., C.E., Chief Sanitary Engineer of the Local Board, Home Office; Professor Wanklyn, M.R.C.S.; Dr. C. A. Cameron, Medical Officer of Health, Dublin; Mr. J. T. Dibdin, A.V.D., Cavalry Barracks, York; and Dr. Crookshank, Inspector-General of Prisons, Cairo. In addition to its powerful disinfecting properties, this compound possesses the recommendation that it is non-poisonous, non-corrosive, stainless in use, and cheap. The scientific mind will understand and appreciate this characteristic of the manufacture—that it prevents contagion by destroying its cause; it instantly removes bad smells; is an unfailing cure for eczema and other skin diseases, and is the best known insecticide.—Sold by all respectable Chemists' Stores, &c., in bottles at 6d. and 1s. and drums at 5s. per gallon.

The case came on at the Magistracy, and was adjourned until the afternoon of the 8th instant.\n\n2. I have further to inform His Excellency that no question whatever of class or race distinction entered my mind with reference to the primary disposal of the case, and that the sole question that I considered was whether the case was one, which, having regard to the interests of both parties, could be the better dealt with by civil or criminal procedure, and that I gave my unbiased preference to the former, as being more suitable. The question so far as affected Police Discipline appeared to me to be one that could well stand over for consideration, until the personal and private portion of the affair had been judicially settled.\n\n3. His Excellency has been pleased to remark that \"The Captain Superintendent must well know the extreme reluctance of the Chinese to enter into legal conflict with the Government, especially with the Police, so that the redress to which the outraged person was confined, was practically none at all.\" With reference to this I have respectfully to state that I have no such knowledge as is presumed. So many Chinese have been brought up in English lawyers' offices, that I believe the knowledge of the impartiality of the British law is fully known to the Chinese Shopkeepers in this Colony, and that such reluctance has no longer any tangible existence. This belief is the more strengthened by the fact that I myself as Captain Superintendent of Police was within the last two years summoned by a Shopkeeper before the very Court in question to answer a demand for the recovery of some money which had been obtained by Government, and repayment of which was resisted by Government. I had therefore no reason to believe that I was making the Petitioner a suggestion of a course other than one obvious and practicable.\n\n4. With reference to the strong feeling expressed by His Excellency in the concluding portion of His Excellency's Minute, I have respectfully to report that the entertainment of any such class or race feeling, as is therein referred to, is entirely opposed to my sentiments, and has no existence in fact; and that I possess letters from His Excellency's Predecessors, from former Attorneys General and other high Officials containing expressions of opinion wholly incompatible with the possible existence of any such feeling; and had I, or the Police Force under my command (one half of whom are Chinese) entertained and carried out any such class or race prejudices the evidence thereof may reasonably have been expected to have been prominently brought forward, and to have been the subject of official comment at some time during the twenty-one years that I have had the honour to command the Police Force previous to His Excellency's arrival in the Colony.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nThe Honourable \nW. M. DEANE, \nCaptain Superintendent of Police.\n\n## PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE POLICE COURT\n\n(Extracted from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" 9th August, 1888.)\n\nBefore MR. T. H.

At 12 noon on the 24th July last a foreign policeman, together with two Chinese policemen, came to the shop. One Chinese constable and the foreign constable came inside. The other Chinese constable stopped outside. The defendant was the foreign constable. He went up to one of my clerks who was writing a letter in the shop, and gave him a blow with his fist. He did not hit my clerk. The latter dodged the blow. Defendant then tried to strike him again, but he dodged that blow also. On seeing that the defendant was so furious, I called in the master of the shop. Defendant tried to hit my clerk again, but he went upstairs. Defendant followed him upstairs.

The improvements have mainly been in connection with the main drains of the city among which I may mention, Gleneally, Peel Street, Eastern Street, Centre Street, Western Street and Middle Street drains.\n\nThere must still exist in the city many branch drains quite unsuited for the conveyance of sewage, any improvement to these necessitates entire reconstruction, and I would further point out, as will be seen on looking at the plan, that no Government Sewer exists in some of the streets.\n\nI am therefore of opinion that if Mr. CHADWICK had submitted a complete scheme it would have included many new sewers and at any rate to a considerable extent he would have adopted the \"Separate System\" for the drainage of the Chinese portion of the city.\n\n## Sim Report, 1988\n\nOn reference to the report of the Commissioners enquiring into the prevalence Hongkong Fever Coma of fever in the Western District I find on page XIV. the following:-\" At the same time they would draw attention to the fact that the withholding night soil from the sewers does not do away with the necessity for pipe-sewers They would recommend the general adoption of pipe-sewers in addition to sub-soil and surface drainage.\" This report is dated 13th of August, 1888.\n\nMr. LEIGH proposes to use the existing drains for the conveyance of sewage and rainfall from the Chinese portions of the city and allow them to discharge as at present into the harbour, \"but having no connection with the few large main storm-water drains, which convey the flood water from the hill sides above through the city.\"\n\nAccompanying this report I forward a small plan* on which I have shown in blue the few large main storm-water drains which convey the flood water from the hill sides above through the city.\" They are eleven in number and as will be seen from the Contours on the plan and as stated in my previous report occupy the principal valley lines, and are the main outfall sewers for the districts through which they pass.\n\nIt is evident that in the event of excluding the sewage from these and at the same time continuing to adopt the combined system of drainage for the Chinese portion of the city as proposed by Mr. LEIGH new sewers of considerable capacity must be constructed.\n\nThe other alternative is to intercept the storm water from the hill sides at or about the level of Caine Road and conduct it in new storm water drains to the harbour.\n\nNow if the sewage and storm waters from the Chinese portion of the city are to be diverted from the existing drains it is clear that the circumstances favouring the deposit of material washed from the hill sides in the sewers will be materially increased.\n\nOn the other hand if the storm water from the hill sides above Caine Road be intercepted and diverted from the existing drains a considerable outlay will be involved and the risk of serious damage being done to property during heavy rainfalls increased. It would further be necessary to improve some of the drains below Queen's Road to prevent the deposit of sewage matters in them.\n\nI certainly contend it would be better to divert the sewage proper from the existing large drains by means of small pipe sewers as proposed in my report and further as the system recommended by me provides for the construction of sewers in every street greater facilities for the disposal of sewage from private premises will exist than hitherto if this scheme is adopted.\n\nThe natural slopes of the streets where no sewers now exist admit of the side channels being used for the conveyance of rain water to the existing main drains, so no new sewers for this purpose are required.\n\nMr. LEIGH has laid down on the plan accompanying his report points L1. L2. L3. L4. L5. and L6. which he recommends as suitable positions for the sewer outfalls from the various districts marked Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively.\n\nA glance at the contour plan forwarded herewith shows that the ground in the western district slopes towards the west, so that practically the whole of the district west of Eastern Street is unprovided for unless an intercepting sewer is carried eastwards through the lower part of the city.\n\nThe same remarks apply to the position of the outfall L2. for Section 2. Mr. LEIGH contends on page 9 of his report there is no foreshore worthy of mention from Kennedytown to the City Hall.\n\n*Plan not printed.\n\nIn his evidence given before the Commission enquiring into the prevalence of fever in the Western District. I find the following.\n\n\"909. But in front of each opening there is a decomposing mass.\nA. There ought to be no foreshore allowed.\n910. But there is\n\" \n580 \n4. It is a foreshore that has grown within the last few years. There are many bits of foreshore which I know did not exist when I came eight years ago. Very little dredging would suffice to remove them and the New Praya Scheme will put us out into deep water.'\n\n\"The outfalls ¶2. paragraph 197 Mr. CHADWICK in his report says. \nHere the tidal of the present sewers are through the Praya wall into the harbour. current is weak at all times. No steps have been taken to carry out the sewage The inverts of beyond and below low-water mark or to reach the tidal current.\n\nOn page \nthe sewer outlets are usually at, or near the level of low-water ordinary springs. Hence on a warm still day at low-water, the stench along the Praya is most offensive.\"\n\nIt is clear from the foregoing that 6 years ago the state of the foreshore on the Praya Front was such as led Mr. CHADWICK to take exception to it and I certainly consider the condition of the Praya Front at low-water decidedly a nuisance.\n\nA few months ago dredging operations were going on in front of the Harbour Master's Office the nuisance caused by stirring up the mud was obvious and showed that a considerable deposit of foul matters had taken place.\n\nIt must be remembered also that native craft are moored alongside the Praya for nearly its whole length.\n\nUnless the Praya Reclamation is carried out I unhesitatingly recommend the construction of the outfall sewers I proposed.\n\nIf the Praya Scheme is finally decided on a question may arise whether the advantages to be gained outweigh the cost of the construction of these outfalls.\n\nThe gradients of the outfall sewers are not unreasonably flat for outfall sewers. The large areas draining into them at the commencement of the flat gradients will ensure a sufficient flow in them to maintain a self-cleansing velocity.\n\nI estimate that the maximum hourly flow during each period of 24 hours, no rain having fallen. will be from District No. 2 at the rate of 2,000 gallons per minute from District No. 3 at the rate of 800 gallons per minute and from District No. 4 at the rate of 1,200 gallons per minute.\n\nMr. LEIGH states during the Southwest Monsoon, especially when typhoons are in the neighbourhood, the sea level remains abnormally high for days together. I have been unable to find in the tidal records I have examined that the height of the sea level is such as to present any serious obstacles in the way of the satisfactory working of the sewers.\n\nMr. LEIGH objects to the syphons. On reference to the sections it will be seen good fall has been given to them and that they are laid falling to a manhole at their lower ends, under these circumstances and from past experience I consider his objections groundless.\n\nOn page 10 Mr. LEIGH quotes the following opinion of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON sewers formed along steep gradients therefore require to have more care bestowed on the means of ventilation than other sewers laid along flat districts. Every one who has had any experience in town sewerage is perfectly well aware of this and yet Mr. LEIGH recommends the rapid descent of the sewers from the high level district, in which he supports me in proposing the adoption of the Separate System, in preference to the more gradual descent of the high-level intercepting sewer along Caine Road proposed by me and which unlike Mr. LEIGH's proposed outfall provides for the drainage of the whole of the district above the Caine and Bonham Roads.\n\nMr. LEIGH takes exception to my evidence before the Fever Commission in which I stated I could not recommend at present any further ventilation of the sewers on the lower levels and claims the support of Sir ROBERT RAWLINSON. I am quite ready to agree with Mr. LEIGH that ventilation improves the air in the sewers, but I contend that so long as many of the drains on private premises exist in their present condition no amount of ventilation of the main sewers would materially improve the air in the house-drains.\n\nI fail to see Mr. LEIGH's contention on page 11 that efficient ventilation of the sewers would preclude the possibility of the sub-soil becoming impregnated with...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-241 - Governor Des Voeus - 1889 [1-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 342420, "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": "CO129-246 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [8-9]", "page_number": 35, "title": "CO129-246 - Acting Governor Fleming - 1890 [8-9]", "content_text": "33\n\nlocated in the neighbourhood of Fai-ping-shan in such streets as\n\nPossession Street and Hollywood Road.

There have been several deaths from the same disease and there will be more within the next 24 hours as several of these cases were very ill. Briefly the symptoms are--fever, sometimes very high, swelling of the glands in the groin, or neck, armpits, extreme nervous prostration, delirium, coma, and death. These are the common symptoms, but sometimes there are other, such as hemorrhagic spots, &c., which are, however, only occasional. There is not the slightest doubt as to the character of the disease. It is exactly the same as Dr. Lowson saw at Canton on Sunday with Dr Rennie. At present we have no time to write a full medical report, but we may mention that on Monday evening Dr. Lawson diagnosed a case in the Government Girls' Hospital as plague, and immediately isolated it.\n\nWe have to recommend:-\n\n(1)--That all house drains and main drains in the affected district be flushed at once and regularly flushed afterwards. They must also be disinfected.\n\n(2)--Houses in which cases have occurred must be disinfected in the usual way for other infectious or contagious disease.\n\n(3)--The clothing of all infected persons and their attendants should be taken charge of and thoroughly disinfected.\n\n(4)--On no account must an accumulation of patients be allowed in the Tung Wah Hospital, as this would inevitably cause a spread of the disease.\n\n(5)--The Hygeia must be removed and brought into the middle of the harbour, as near to the shore as possible, and at once. We feel sure that if a deputation of the leading Chinese be taken to the Hygeia and the situation is explained to them, and also the fact that the patients will be in the charge of their own countryman, no difficulty will be found in getting the affected people to go to the ship. These cases as a rule are too ill to object themselves and if any difficulty is caused then it must be met by the Government.\n\nP. B. C. AYRES,\n\nColonial Surgeon.\n\nJ. A. Lowson,\n\nActing Superintendent of Government Civil Hospital.\n\n| The Secretary, Sanitary Board.\n\nBLACK PLAGUE IN HONGKONG. DISCUSSION IN THE SANITARY BOARD. Last night, we published the documents of the Sanitary Board bearing upon the outbreak of a disease which has been named the 'black plague' in Canton and Hongkong. Appended we give the discussion which followed upon the reading of the special report submitted by Dr Ayres and Dr Lowson :-\n\nThe President said that in addition to the report just read he had a telegram from the Consul at Canton stating that the number of cases was increasing, but the mortality was decreasing.\n\nThe Colonial Surgeon said he understood there had been a heavy rainfall at Canton within the last forty-eight hours.\n\nThe President said he had not heard of it.\n\nMr Francis asked if it was a fact that three weeks ago six or seven deaths occurred in one house in Bonham Strand.\n\nThe President--I did hear that rumour and inquiries were made both by the Registrar General and the Secretary of the Sanitary Board, and it was found four deaths had occurred in that neighbourhood.\n\nMr Francis--Is it or is it not true that six or seven deaths took place in one house?\n\nThe President--There were no reports made to that effect.\n\nMr Francis--I am not asking whether reports were made. I know there were no reports, or I would have seen them in the ordinary course. Were there six or seven deaths in one house or not?\n\nThe President--There is nothing to show that there were.\n\nMr Francis--Have you made inquiries?\n\nThe President--Inquiries were made, and it was found there had been seven deaths in that neighbourhood, but not from plague.\n\nMr Francis--Were they registered?\n\nThe President--They were registered.\n\nMr Francis--From what cause?\n\nThe President--From various causes, but not from plague.\n\nThe Colonial Surgeon--This is not the first time this disease has occurred, within my memory, in Canton. The Chinese know the disease very well up there. There are thirteen cases now at the Tung Wah Hospital and four bodies of those who died from the disease. We are gathering information so that all the houses from which the cases came may be looked after.\n\nThey come from Market Street, Tank Lane, and Ladder Street, where there are old undrained houses and the drains will have to be thoroughly flushed out and the houses cleansed and whitewashed. The disease is one entirely of poverty and filth. It is a similar disease in Asiatic countries to typhus in European countries. There is no necessity for getting up a scare about it. Dr Lowson saw a large number of cases at Canton, but there has been no case amongst the attendants at the hospital there. Although there have been three or four hundred cases admitted there within the last week or ten days, not one of the attendants has been attacked. I think Dr Lowson might explain for the information of the Board the state of affairs in Canton.\n\nMr Francis--I would like to know whether there have been thirteen deaths in Tank Lane within the last forty-eight hours.\n\nThe President--No, not that I am aware of.\n\nMr Francis--Has any considerable number of deaths been reported to the Registrar-General from any particular place?\n\nThe President--Yes, there have been a number from Market Street and Tank Lane. If a person dies in his own house the death is registered and his address is given, but very often the Chinese of Hongkong when they are very sick are taken to the Tung Wah Hospital, and if they die there the death is registered by the Tung Wah authorities, and there is some difficulty in tracing where the person came from originally. We are now tracing the cases.\n\nMr Francis.--How is it the Tung Wah people have not reported these deaths from infectious disease?\n\nThe President--Is it infectious?\n\nMr Francis--If there is any doubt about it it ought to be treated as infectious,\n\n23\n\n51", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 354384, "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": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "page_number": 118, "title": "CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8]", "content_text": "Clarke asked if he could say what is done with the Interest: as he does not know—see his note annexed.\n\nORIENTAL CLUB,\n\nHANOVER SQUARE.

It has been known for some time that two Japanese gentlemen, experts with regard to infectious diseases, have made a special study of the local outbreak of Asiatic typhus. It was a wise measure of the Japanese Government to send these scientists here, but the results of their investigations will concern and, we trust, eventually benefit this Colony as much as Japan. One of these gentlemen, Professor Kitasato, after passing through the usual course of medical studies at the Tokyo University and taking his M.D. degree, spent seven years, from 1885 to 1892, at Dr Koch's institute in Berlin, where he devoted all his time to the study of the bacteriology of infectious diseases. After successfully passing the medical professorate examinations in Berlin, he returned to Japan, and established there, connected with the Government, an institution similar to that of Dr Koch for the biological investigation of the infectious diseases of Japan. The other gentleman, Professor Aoyama, is a medical graduate of the Tokyo University, where, after spending four years in Berlin in the study of pathology, from 1883 to 1887, he has since been lecturing as Professor of Medicine. Both gentlemen have now, for some time past, been taking every opportunity on board the Hygeia and in the different hospitals, studying the disease in all its stages and making sundry experiments. Professor Aoyama pays special attention to the Morphology and Dr Kitasato to the Biology of the disease. The results of their observations are now being embodied for the information of the Japanese Government, in a joint official report, which is in process of elaboration. A local gentleman has been favoured, in the course of an interview, with a brief outline of what will probably be the leading features of this interesting document.\n\nThe two specialists, it would seem, agree in identifying the plague now raging in Hongkong with that bubonic plague which devastated Europe first in the sixth century (when it was imported from the Levant); and ever since made its appearance here and there, being historically best known in connection with the Great Plague which decimated London in the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. They have further identified it, to a limited extent, with the sporadic outburst of plague which occurred in Astrakhan from 1878 to 1879, when a small shining bacillus was found in the blood of human patients. But as Biology was then in its infancy, and the instruments now available were then hardly known, great importance can be attached to the description then given of the specific plague bacillus. Again, the two experts have identified the Hongkong plague with that bubonic typhus which Professor Hirsch of Berlin, in his 'Topography of Diseases,' states to be endemic in the Chinese province of Yunnan. Professor Hirsch's account of the Yunnan plague, they say, stands confirmed by observations made by some medical missionaries at Meng-tze, a district city in Liu-an Fu (Yun-nan) situated under Lat. 23° 34′ and Long. 118° 08′, and more recently by Dr Border of Pak-hoi, one of the ports open to foreign trade, in the province of Kwang-tung, near Lien-chow Fu, under Lat. 21° 39' and Long. 108° 59'. From the pathological description which the two gentlemen gave of a typical case of plague, as observed in Hongkong, it would seem that the period of incubation generally lasts from two to seven days, followed by prostration and high fever, starting from forty degrees Celsius, and concluding with delirium and coma. But protracted cases are generally accompanied by the development of bubos, boils or petechiæ, convalescence setting in about the sixth day. As regards the Biology of the disease, Professor Kitasato considers himself to have been fortunate enough to have discovered the specific bacillus of the local form of plague, and his confrère, Professor Aoyama, agrees with him in describing this specific plague-bacillus as being what is called in German a 'stäbchen' bacterium, having the form of very slender straight filaments of short length. This bacillus, found in the blood of plague patients from the second day of the outbreak of the disease, and devastating the principal internal organs, has been indisputably identified, as the real agent of the mischief, by Dr Kitasato.\n\nHis colleague, Professor Aoyama, agrees with him in stating that, unless the bacillus discovered at Astrakhan but imperfectly described was the same species, no such bacillus has hitherto been found in human blood. The only kinds of known bacilli, which to a limited extent may be compared with this plague-bacillus are two classes of bacteria hitherto found in animals only, viz., the 'Milz-brand' bacterium (bacillus anthracis) which morphologically resembles the plague-bacillus about as much as the 'Hühner-cholera' bacterium (found in poultry diseases) resembles it biologically. Experiments made by Dr. Kitasato breeding and multiplying the specific plague bacilli discovered in Hongkong, and in inoculating different animals with the preparation of the virus thus obtained, have invariably produced within two days the death of these animals under symptoms conclusively exhibiting the symptoms of plague, though the symptoms of vomiting, diarrhœa, and buboes were absent owing to the rapid development of the disease.\n\nC.

There is much headache and cerebral disturbance, accompanied by stupor. In from 12 to 24 hours a glandular swelling occurs in the neck, armpit or groin, rapidly enlarging to the size of a fowl's egg; it is hard and exceedingly tender. With or without a decline of the fever, the patient sinks deeper into a condition of coma and dies usually at the end of 48 hours or sooner. If six days are reached recovery is hopeful. The glandular swelling shows no signs of suppuration. In some cases epistaxis or vomiting of blood occurs; petechiae appear in a few cases, but no regular eruption. \n\nSuch are, briefly, the symptoms at the beginning of the disease. It was then extremely fatal, over 30 deaths having occurred in the small street we visited. The mortality was high, being over 65 per cent of the patients attacked. \n\nThese houses are occupied by labourers and artisans; they are small and badly ventilated with damp earthen floors. Underneath the flag stones in front of the houses in question is the usual drainage arrangement, which at the period of our visit, was in a very insanitary condition on account of the lack of water and in consequence of the prolonged drought.

The principles of Chemistry, and methods of analysis with especial reference to analyses of water and air. Application of the microscope. The laws of heat, and the principles of pneumatics, hydrostatics, and hydraulics, with especial reference to ventilation, water-supply, drainage, construction of dwellings, disposal of sewage and refuse, and sanitary engineering in general.\n\nPart II comprises—Laws of the realm relating to public health. Sanitary statistics. Origin, propagation, pathology, and prevention of epidemic and infectious diseases. Effects of over-crowding, vitiated air, impure water, and bad or insufficient food. Unhealthy occupations and the diseases to which they give rise. Water supply and drainage in reference to health. Nuisances injurious to health. Distribution of diseases within the United Kingdom, the effects of soil, season, and climate.\n\nThe Examination in each part occupies two days, and is oral and practical as well as in writing. Candidates may present themselves for either part separately or for both together at their option; but the result of the examination in the case of any Candidate will not be published until he has passed in both parts.\n\nA candidate is required to pay a fee of four guineas before admission to the Examination.\n\nA candidate who has passed both parts of the Examination to the satisfaction of the Examiners receives a diploma testifying to his competent knowledge of what is required for the duties of a Medical Officer of Health. The holders of these diplomas are designated briefly by the letters **D. P. H. Camb.**\n\nAll applications for admission to this Examination, or for information respecting it, should be addressed to Professor Liveing, Cambridge.\n\nThe following suggestions have been drawn up by the Syndicats for superintending the Examination in State Medicine as some guide to Candidates preparing for that Examination.\n\n### I. \nThe principles of Chemistry are sufficiently set forth in any of the manuals. Candidates will be expected to understand the application of the general laws to such cases as occur in the practice of an officer of health, but will not be expected to show an acquaintance with those details of Chemistry which have no direct bearing on sanitary questions.\n\nNo importance will be attached to the use of any particular chemical notation. It is not expected that officers of health will in general be able to act as public analysts, but that they will know the methods of analysis and enough of the practice to obtain approximate results and to interpret the results of professional analysts. The kinds of applications of the several sciences of which the Candidates are expected to show a knowledge will be best understood by a perusal of Parkes's Manual of Practical Hygiene. In the actual analysis of water and air Candidates will not be expected to make complete quantitative analyses, but to know how to apply ordinary chemical methods for the detection and discrimination of mineral and organic matters in the samples, and, as far as the time will allow, to estimate their quantity.\n\n### PART II. \nCandidates will be expected to show an acquaintance with the sanitary laws in force in England; but if any Candidate has information respecting alternative laws in force in the Metropolis or in Scotland or in Ireland, opportunity will be given him, alternatively, of showing his acquaintance with such laws.\n\n\"Sanitary Statistics\" are to be regarded as including the leading Statistical facts in respect to population, births, and deaths in the United Kingdom; the method of registering Births and Deaths; the mode of determining Birth-rates and Death-rates, and the conditions or circumstances or prevalent diseases by which these Rates are chiefly influenced.\n\n# 86\n\nThe rest of Part II, besides the subjects expressly mentioned, is to be understood as including those of Vaccination, Disinfectants, the management of outbreaks of Infectious Diseases, with the construction of Hospitals temporary or permanent; Endemic Diseases; the qualities and suitableness of various Waters used for domestic purposes; the inspection of factories, mines, workshops, and common lodging-houses.\n\n## REGULATIONS FOR THE DEGREES OF DOCTOR IN SCIENCE AND DOCTOR IN LETTERS\n\nStudents in Science who, having already taken a Degree in Arts, Law, Medicine, or Surgery, have given proofs of distinction in Science by some original contribution to the advancement of Science, and have done all that is required by the Statutes and Ordinances of the University, may be admitted to the title of Doctor Designate in Science, and shall afterwards be created Doctors at the time prescribed by the University. **Stat. A. c. ii. § 12.**\n\nStudents in Letters who, having already taken a Degree in Arts, Law, Medicine, or Surgery, have given proofs of distinction by some original contribution to the advancement of Learning, and have done all that is required by the Statutes and Ordinances of the University, may be admitted to the title of Doctor Designate in Letters, and shall afterwards be created Doctors at the time prescribed by the University **Stat. A. c. ii. § 13.**\n\nThe day for creation is in each case the Tuesday immediately preceding the last day of Easter Term.\n\nThe names of the Doctors Designate in Science and of the Doctors Designate in Letters having been recited in the order of their Seniority with the addition of **Doctor Designatus in Scientia** or **Doctor Designatus in Litteris** to each, as the case may be, the Senior of all the Doctors of Science and of Letters, who are in residence, or some other Doctor either of Science or of Letters deputed by him, makes the following declaration:\n\n\"Auctoritate mihi commissa creo et pronuntio hos omnes Doctores vel in Scientia vel in Litteris, prout quique modo designatus est.\"\n\n### REGULATIONS FOR THE DEGREES OF DOCTOR IN SCIENCE AND DOCTOR IN LETTERS\n\n1. Any person may be a Candidate for the degree of Doctor in Science or Doctor in Letters who is Master of Arts, Law, or Surgery, of not less than five years' standing, a Bachelor of Medicine of not less than seven years' standing.\n\n2. Such Candidate shall make his application in writing to the Chairman of the Special Board of Studies with which he considers that the subject of his original contribution to the advancement of Science or Learning is most nearly connected and shall specify therein the printed contribution or contributions to the advancement of Science or Learning upon which his claim for a degree is based.\n\n3. Such application shall be referred to a Committee of the Special Board of Studies, which shall consist of the Chairman of the Board, of the Professors and Readers who are members of such Board either by Statute or by election (including the Classical Professor and the Public Orator in the case of the Classical Board) or Readers, and the Members of the Senate elected to serve on the Board for a term of years.\n\n4. If such Committee shall be of opinion that the original contributions to the advancement of Science or Learning constitute *primâ facie* a qualification for a degree, they shall obtain reports upon them from not less than two persons, who may be members of the Committee or not.

It was rare for diarrhoea to continue throughout the whole time of acute fever. Blood, mucus, and epithelium frequently appeared in the stools. In 20% of the cases, in which definite buboes were not formed, the intestinal symptoms were so predominant that the illness had to be regarded as essentially an intestinal affection—a view, indeed, as will be later shown, confirmed by the results of post-mortem examination. The parotid glands were frequently swollen and painful at some time in the course of the disease. The liver and the spleen also were often found to be painful and enlarged.\n\nThe respiratory tract showed the fewest symptoms of disease. The breathing was frequent in proportion to the height of the fever. When buboes formed in the neck in the neighbourhood of the larynx or trachea, and shortly before death when the lungs became oedematous, the breathing was labouring and dyspnoeal. In 10% of the cases, bronchial catarrh came on in the course of the disease, most commonly appearing from the fourth to the tenth day. In 6% of the cases, the expectoration was bloody. In one case, hæmoptysis was observed; and in one case, pneumonia, with consecutive pulmonary abscess and purulent pleurisy. Pulmonary symptoms never influenced the general character of the disease in the early stages, but appeared only when the illness was well-established; they seemed always to be secondary phenomena. Patients suffering from plague without buboes but with prominent symptoms of disease of the respiratory organs were never observed.\n\n(11)\n\n185\n\nSometimes death took place from a quite unexpected sudden collapse, sometimes from rapidly developed convulsions with coma, sometimes with signs of exhaustion from the intensity of the intoxication; these were usually cases in which death occurred during the first ten days of the disease. Sometimes the cause of death was an earlier or later developed septic or pyæmic condition; this occurred in the later stages of the disease.\n\nThe order of appearance of the symptoms as well as the intensity and duration of the disease were, as already frequently mentioned, extremely various in different cases.\n\nAt first, during the height of the epidemic, the cases were for the most part very speedily fatal. Signs of the most intense depression of the nervous functions rapidly came on. The patients became drowsy and silent, and passed into a restless, comatose condition, vomited occasionally, passed their motions under them, became cold, with a hideous, livid, corpse-like tint of face, and died usually within from twelve hours to two days from the onset of the illness, with high fever, or sometimes abnormal temperature or moderate fever only, and frequently without any outwardly recognizable buboes.\n\nVery near in degree of danger to these extremely fatal cases were cases in which an unusually high grade of fever soon came on, showing occasionally remissions and irregular exacerbations, with severe epigastric pain and tendency to vomit, and with the secretion of urine almost entirely suppressed. In these cases buboes usually developed, and the patient died of exhaustion on the third, fourth, or fifth day of the illness. If, however, he survived, he suffered usually for a long time from suppuration of the glands, or from the formation of abscesses, or from other complications such as nephritis, pneumonia, or parotiditis.\n\nDilatation of the right side of the heart was shown to exist in many cases. Systolic murmurs were often heard at the apex of the heart. At the beginning of the disease, the pulse was as a rule full and tense, and rarely irregular. The frequency was on the average 90 to 120 per minute. Before death the pulse usually became feeble, frequent, and irregular, and rose to 140 to 160 per minute.\n\nAt the beginning of the disease, the secretion of urine was frequently diminished or entirely suppressed. The colour of the urine was dark red, often turbid. In 95% of the cases, the urine at the outset of the disease contained albumen (usually 0.1 to 0.5%). It often contained indican. Only rarely was the urine ruddy from free admixture of blood. On microscopic examination, granular casts and white and red blood-corpuscles were frequently detected. After the decline of the fever the albumen most commonly quickly disappeared from the urine; in many cases, however, traces were still present one or two months later. In three cases only was slight oedema of the legs and feet noticed in connexion with the albuminuria. In women during the stage of fever the catamenial flow was usually very free. In one Chinese woman abortion took place.\n\nBesides these severe cases of plague, slighter cases were also met with, which were especially frequent towards the end of the epidemic. In these cases the above-described symptoms were developed only in a minor degree. The urinary secretion was normal. Buboes sometimes appeared and quickly suppurated or underwent resolution; ordinarily, however, slight glandular swellings only were to be detected. The course was generally quick and favourable. Even in some of these cases, however, death occurred suddenly and unexpectedly. Quite exceptionally, ambulatory cases were seen, almost afebrile, with a somewhat tedious course, characterised by the development of small buboes, or even merely by pain without discoverable swelling in the inguinal or axillary region or in various parts of the body.\n\nAccording to the symptoms bubonic plague may be defined in general terms as an extremely malignant acute disease, with pronounced typhoid state, in the course of which buboes and abscesses usually, and carbuncles very rarely, appear.\n\nThe nervous symptoms frequently noticed were muscular twitchings, deafness, loss of consciousness, and delirium of all kinds. In one case, in a boy, immediately before death, rigidity of the neck, trismus, and tonic and clonic spasms were observed.\n\nThe eyes were in some cases affected with purulent conjunctivitis, keratitis, and hypopyon. In five cases panophthalmitis occurred, and in the only one of these patients that survived complete blindness was the result.\n\nConvalescence began at very various times. In many cases it set in at the end of the first or the beginning of the second week, after the cessation of the fever and with the subsidence of the glandular swellings; frequently, however, it did not begin to be established for four weeks or longer, the illness being kept up by suppuration of the glands and by other complications (such as new glandular swellings, abscesses of all kinds, nephritis, etc.). Recovery was not as a rule complete until from one to four months had elapsed.\n\nThe mortality of the disease among the patients in hospital was 73%. In 70% death took place in the first six days of the illness; in 3%, from the 7th to the 42nd day. Among Europeans, the mortality was 50%, both in the Kennedy Town Hospital and in the Government Civil Hospital. In the latter, of nine Europeans treated, four died. In considering the mortality among Asiatics, if we take into account those brought dead to the hospital, the mortality is greatly increased, viz., to 90%. If, however, we further take into consideration the fact that a large number of those attacked fled to Canton or were transported thither with the permission of the Government, and that a certain proportion of these recovered, we arrive at an average mortality for the whole epidemic of about 85%.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 362715, "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": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "page_number": 233, "title": "CO129-275 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1897 [1-5]", "content_text": "dong song\n\nNo.\n\n8 6 9 8\n\nIREC\"\n\n229\n\n8693\n\nREG 26 APR 37\n\nMATCH.\n\nGovernor.

1000 yards wide on the Western side. Further to the East, there is a smaller channel practicable for ships but never used by them. The width of the harbour varies from 9000 yards at the mouth to 4500 near the entrance to the inner harbour. The inner harbour is entered by two channels, one on the South of Kulangsu, used with an ebb tide, and the other round the Northern end of the same island, used with a flood tide. The rise and fall of the tide is 21 feet, and the depth of the channel varies from 17 to 10 fathoms. The width of the channel between the 5-fathom line at the entrance is 5200 yards and at the entrance to the inner harbour, 4200 yards. The trade of Amoy is almost entirely tea, brought over from Formosa. The bulk of the mercantile firms are British, one being German.\n\nThe defences of Amoy consist of six forts, four being on the island of Amoy and two on the mainland on the Western side of the harbour.\n\nThe four on Amoy Island comprise:\n\nFort Rehshik, situated at the Southernmost end of Amoy Island, immediately opposite the entrance to the outer harbour. It is armed with one 17-centimetre Krupp breech-loader and one English gun by Blakesby & Co., apparently an 8-inch, but it is out of repair and unserviceable. The Krupp gun is in good condition and quite serviceable, with 200 rounds of ammunition. The fort is built on the edge of the water at an elevation of about 50 feet. The distance to the entrance is 7000 yards, far too much for the present type of gun to be of any use. There is also barrack accommodation for the troops and water in the fort.\n\nFort Fowleso is situated on a point called Cliff Point at an elevation of about 60 feet. It is entered on the North side through a gate in a castellated wall. The road then turns down the hill and passes through a gate at the bottom into the inner fort where the barracks for the troops are situated. Its armament consists of two 28-centimetre breech-loading Krupp guns and two 12-centimetre breech-loaders by the same maker and dated 1875. The two 28-c.m. guns are mounted on barbettes in circular pits about 8 feet deep. The traversing and elevating numbers also, all the higher numbers, work in the pit, but the gun is loaded from the parapet. The guns are 25 yards apart and are flanked on each side at a distance of 7 yards by the 12-c.m. guns.\n\nThe guns seem to be in good condition; there are 130 rounds. The range to the entrance is about 8000 yards and to the centre of the channel, about 3000 yards.\n\nThe barracks were clean and seemed large enough to accommodate 300 men. The 12-c.m. guns would only be of service in case of a boat attack. The front of the fort is unprotected and could be easily taken from the South side. The depth of the ditch is about 6 feet. The stores and ammunition are well protected in bomb-proof casemates. Each gun has 320 rounds, and the 28-c.m. takes a charge of 350 lbs. One shot was fired from this gun at a range of 10,000 metres. The line was good. The loading and firing were done expeditiously and well. There is a French Range finder in the Fort, but apparently, no one knows how to use it.\n\nPwan Shok fort is a mile from Fowleso and is situated at an elevation of 30 feet close to the water's edge. It is armed with two 21-centimetre Krupp breach-loaders pivoted on front pivots. The guns are placed on a parapet and have a low parapet of masonry in front of them. They are clean and in a serviceable condition and likely to be of use if properly handled.\n\nLiau Kan Yong Fort is about 400 yards from Pwan Shek and armed with old...\n\nPage 352\n\n22305\n\nRECEIVED\n\n21 AUG 19...\n\n \n \n\n \n\nPage 353", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-292 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 372438, "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": "CO129-292 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [6-8]", "page_number": 433, "title": "CO129-292 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [6-8]", "content_text": "their dyes can be attached to the version being reported\n\nthe man factory Board,\n\nMay even if\n\nif it become becasson\n\nto enlarge it, I really cannot\n\nLai czy\n\nthe civil authorities\n\nWould Agree.\n\nof\n\nthe two could be\n\ntwo,\n\nI think that Dr. Ashim\n\nopinion is largely one more\n\nthan that of the reliable that that of\n\nPrincipal military medical officer.\n\ndoctrines de humanize trnove in grooves,\n\nwithout\n\nFollowing\n\nhard fast rules without due adaptation to circumstances; but a little of the militating\n\nCleverness\n\ndo no harm,\n\nthe Board could\n\na weight help to\n\nd\n\n& the\n\nkeep the others up &\n\nwork.\n\nI think that para: 4 of\n\nthe despatch\n\n19375\n\nwill\n\nhave to be re-written; but I think it will be sufficient\n\nto include this despatch in the abstracted form,\n\nthe while recognizing\n\nand\n\ngood comb aber done & the\n\nabsurdity faurity Board,\n\nthe representation\n\nO.C. strengthen\n\nnow and the G.O.C.\n\nMr. Chamberlain in\n\nhis graviore\n\nthat it could be the interest\n\n431\n\nof the community\n\nwell\n\nand", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-292 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 373916, "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": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "page_number": 646, "title": "CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12]", "content_text": "at the Peak\n\n2 A copy of a letter from the Director of Public Works and a paper of particulars of the affair is enclosed herewith, for your information & guidance, in red ink;\n\nI am in agreement with the proposal that the officer selected, although he is to be engaged primarily to supervise the section of building at the Peak residence, of course, contain the usual clause, as to his performing any duties, which the head of the Department may call upon him to undertake.\n\nCPL No. 43 Sir H.

The jaundice became rapidly general and the vomiting very persistent; under hypodermics of morphia the latter symptom subsided, but the patient became delirious and rapidly sank, dying on the 2nd July. The temperature was normal in the morning and 104 in the evening of 29th, normal all day 30th, 105 in the morning and 102 in the evening of 1st.\n\nPost mortem,--Jaundice deeply marked all over. Gall bladder slightly distended but no obstruction could be made out. Brain congested and excess of fluid. Spleen enlarged and soft. Smear from this organ teemed with malarial parasites.\n\nCHRONIC PANCREATITIS JAUNDICE-DEATH.\n\nAn engineer was admitted from a steamer on the 30th May, 1901, deeply jaundiced and dying. The only history obtainable was that he had had jaundice for over a year but had been doing his duty up to a few days before his admission. He was deeply jaundiced all over, temperature 101, quick almost uncountable pulse and great dyspnœa. He was put to bed and given stimulants but died a few hours after, passing a large tarry stool just before death.\n\nPost mortem--Gall bladder was much distended and full of bile; intestines full of blood. Pancreas very much enlarged and hard, being about double the average size and weighing eight ounces; head was firmly adherent to the common bile duct and intestines. Section of pancreas was stained and showed a large increase in the connective tissue but no recent hemorrhages.\n\nMALARIA COMA-PREMATURE BIRTH-DEATH.\n\nA Chinese prisoner in about the 8th month of pregnancy was suddenly seized with a fit at the 3 Gaol on 1st June, 1901. When seen she was quite unconscious, with contracted pupils, deep stertorous breathing, insensitive conjunctivæ and small feeble pulse. Under the idea she was suffering from uræmia she was transferred to the Maternity Hospital. On arrival she was in much the same condition, temperature 100, and passing her urine unconsciously. By means of a catheter a specimen was obtained--1015, acid, trace of albumen--3.3% urea. The following day she was slightly better and could be roused by loud shouting and tried to do what she was told (put out tongue, &c.). The urine contained albumen with blood corpuscles and blood casts. Labour came on naturally, the child, however, being dead. On the 3rd the temperature was 103, urine normal, patient again more unconscious--a blood slide showed large numbers of malignant quotidian parasites. Ten grains of quinine hypodermically were given night and morning but without any drop in the temperature which on the 4th went up to 106.8. As the patient was quite unconscious and evidently sinking, lumbar puncture was performed and the tube left in for 48 hours. Under ice packing the temperature fell to normal at midnight. The blood next morning was still full of malaria, though the patient was much better and more easily roused. The quinine was increased to 15 grains twice daily hypodermically and a mixture of Tinct. Ferri XV and Quinine gr. II given every two hours. The patient, however, slowly became more unconscious, the temperature ranging between 101 and 105 till the 7th when she died, temperature 106. Throughout urine and fæces were passed unconsciously.\n\nPost mortem.--Heart and lungs normal save for some old adhesions at right base. Liver cirrhotic, 2¼ lbs.; kidneys normal but much congested; spleen 5 oz.; brain soft and congested but no increase in the fluid either at base or in ventricles; blood smear from spleen teemed with parasites.\n\nINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO STRICTURE OF RECTUM.\n\nA married European female, aged 31, was admitted to hospital on August 21st. She was quite well up to the 20th, when she was seen by a medical man who prescribed a pill (Pil. Hydrarg. grs. III, Pil. Coloc. Co. grs. IV) for vague abdominal pain and vomiting. On admission her temperature was 102.4, with furred tongue, tympanitis and tenderness all over the abdomen, but more especially in the right iliac region; malignant malarial parasites were found in the blood. Her previous medical history was good, though there was a history of an attack of dysentery in 1895 but no abdominal trouble since. The vomiting continued throughout; the rejected matter consisting of green \"spinach-like\" material and never fæculent. Bowels did not respond to enemata, salines or small repeated doses of calomel. On 24th she was examined under chloroform but nothing definite could be found to account for the symptoms. There was no dulness in the right iliac fossa and nothing was felt per rectum. On 25th her condition was the same and as the tympanitis was distressing and the vomiting continued a small trocar was inserted into the intestines and a quantity of fetid gas escaped with a certain amount of relief. On 26th, as her condition was decidedly worse, laparotomy was performed. The intestines were much congested and distended; there was no appendicitis and no cause was found to account for the distension. She slowly sank and died the same day.\n\nPost mortem.--No peritonitis or appendicitis. Intense enteritis.\n\nThe whole of the small intestine and the large intestine as far as the sigmoid flexure were distended and at the lower end of the sigmoid flexure a stricture was found, the intestine being contracted to the size of a goose-quill. On cutting through this constriction it was found to be due to the cicatrisation of a dysenteric ulcer with thickened and indurated edges. There was no tubercular disease anywhere.\n\nPage 224\n\nRemarks.—The case is interesting on account of the obscurity of the cause of all the abdominal symptoms. The temperature was accounted for to a certain extent by the presence of malarial parasites (malignant tertian) in the blood. Although the patient was a delicate woman her condition could hardly be attributed to the aperient she had taken. The puncture of the intestine with the smallest trocar in Potain's aspirating case afforded relief and did not induce the slightest local inflammatory trouble.\n\nHEPATIC ABSCESS-OPERATION FOLLOWED BY GUMMA OF THE LIVER-RECOVERY.\n\nA French sailor, 42 years of age, was admitted on June 7th, having been ill 15 days with fever. His temperature on admission was 101; liver much enlarged with distinct fluctuation in front. The abscess was opened, the walls stitched to the skin and a tube inserted. It healed rapidly but the temperature still ran an intermittent course, being normal in the morning and 102 or 103° in the evening. On the 13th, malignant parasites were found in the blood and 5 grains of quinine given every four hours. This brought the fever down to normal in a few days and he soon put on weight and was waiting for a passage home when on July 29th the temperature again rose with parasites in his blood (after he had been out on leave for the first time). There was also a distinct tumour of the liver below the ribs which was hard and not tender on pressure. Notwithstanding quinine every 3 or 4 hours the temperature still continued an irregular course, rising to 100 and occasionally to 103 in the evening. On August 11th, he was aspirated but no pus found. A distinct specific history having been obtained he was put on Potass. Iodid. grs. xv ter die. The temperature almost immediately fell to normal and continued to, and the swelling slowly but markedly disappeared.\n\nHe left for Europe on 9th September looking and feeling well, his weight having risen from 8st. to 8st. 7¼ lbs. and without any trace of hepatic enlargement.\n\nINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO PLAGUE-DEATH.\n\nAn English boy aged 11 was admitted to hospital on the 9th September. He had been taken ill two days previously with a sharp pain in the abdomen for which a dose of castor oil was prescribed which however only set up vomiting immediately after being taken. On admission his temperature was 102.7, foul tongue and pain in abdomen, chiefly in right iliac fossa where there was a distinct sense of resistance on pressure. His temperature continued between 102 and 104 till the 11th, with great abdominal distension and pain. On this day a papular eruption was seen chiefly on forehead and back of ears. In the evening slight delirium was noticed for the first time. On the 12th the condition was much the same with frequent vomiting (bile and blood), very fœtid breath, epistaxis and abdominal distension, and from this onwards no further action of the bowels occurred. There was dulness in both flanks. The stools were liquid and bile-stained. There was distinct tenderness and dulness in the right iliac fossa where a distinct tumour could now be felt. In the evening the enema contained only a trace of fæces. The morning temperature was 100 and a few malignant malarial parasites were found in the blood. The evening temperature was 101.8 and the pulse varied between 88 and 92. The case became slowly worse, pulse 120 to 180, vomiting, constipation and great distension, and a trace of albumen in the urine till the 14th--8th day of illness--when the temperature rose to 105, and the patient succumbed.\n\nPost mortem.--Small intestine normal. Spleen hard and firm. No appendicitis. Large intestine (cæcum) swollen with hæmorrhagic extravasation into the walls for about 3 inches causing almost complete obstruction. Mesenteric glands swollen and hæmorrhagic. Retroperitoneal extravasation well marked. Slight amount of bloody fluid in abdominal cavity. Spleen and glands full of typical plague bacilli; a culture of which was injected into a guinea pig and produced death with plague bacilli in internal organs.\n\nRemarks.--No idea of plague was ever thought of in diagnosing this case which was looked upon at first as being one of malarial colitis or appendicitis, and the patient was treated accordingly with purges and hypodermics of quinine. Fortunately for various reasons no operation was attempted. Authorities on plague mention the possibility of mistaking the disease for appendicitis but such a case as this is worth recording owing to the very definite tumour and complete obstruction produced.\n\nCOMPOUND FRACTURE OF FEMUR-AMPUTATION--DEATH FROM TETANUS.\n\nA European sailor was knocked down by a heavy sea on the 10th December and sustained a compound comminuted fracture of the lower end of the right femur. On arrival here, six days after the accident, the man was brought to hospital. The wound was thoroughly cleaned, some jagged ends of bone removed and an endeavour made to save the limb. As the temperature chart pointed to septic infection, amputation was decided upon, and assisted by Staff Surgeon NOLAN, R.N., and Surgeon WALLIS, R.N., at 11 a.m. on the 20th, the limb was removed. Just previous to the operation the patient complained of stiffness in the jaw muscles and inability to open his mouth. To our regret smears taken from three places in the wound showed tetanus bacilli. The patient stood the shock fairly well and at 1 p.m. was conscious, the spasms short and frequent, and the pulse fairly strong. At 4 p.m. he had a severe spasm which almost raised him off the bed, and died suddenly.\n\nRemarks.--The extreme rarity of tetanus following operations here makes this case worth recording. It is extremely difficult to account for his having been infected on board a ship as the bacillus is generally looked upon as an earth germ and the steamer had not been carrying manure, horses or other animals as cargo. Immediately after the injury everything seems to have been done to keep the wound clean and the limb at rest by means of Carbolic lotion and an improvised splint.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-312 - Acting Governor Major Gen Sir Gascoigne Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 386109, "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": "CO129-313 - Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [10-12]", "page_number": 189, "title": "CO129-313 - Governor Sir Blake - 1902 [10-12]", "content_text": "## \n\nWithheld \n\n187 \n\nIsland, landing on which is prohibited except by duly authorised persons.\n\nThe presence of a considerable Military Garrison on the Island has also the advantage of rendering unnecessary the provision of a considerable Police guard in addition to the ordinary Staff of Prison Warders.\n\n5.\n\nIf this site is approved we would recommend that a boundary wall be built enclosing all the available Crown land and that a wing for 100 convicts be built inside it with necessary quarters for Staff etc., and that the convicts be employed in building additional wings as required in parallel blocks.\n\n3.\n\nThe above proposal if adopted renders necessary the removal of the Gunpowder Depot to another site, and we recommend that that site be on the North Eastern face of Green Island.\n\nWe attach two sketch plans prepared by the Director of Public Works shewing how a Depot might be constructed in this locality.

West of Liuchow, across the river, were two ying under Major Sung; on the east were three ying, on their way to Kueilin, commanded by Taotai Wang, who had just left Liuchow; and on the north, Captain Liang with two ying was stationed on the road to Ching-yuan.\n\nOf the 1,200 to 1,500 troops composing the three ying in Liuchow, the disaffected numbered some 800. Their ranks being joined by local banditti, the number swelled to over 1,000.\n\nTo these rebels the loyal portion of the troops seemed to have offered only a feeble resistance. The Ya Chiang Taotai Ch'u, and Hsiang, the District Magistrate, fled, as did Taotai Tsu, who was responsible for the mutinous troops, shot himself. The Prefect Shen, at first reported killed, appears to have escaped with a serious wound in the shoulder. Among minor officials, two non-commissioned officers, and a certain Director of Studies lost their lives. On board the gun-boat \"Tinghsi,\" which the rebels attempted unsuccessfully to capture, the casualties were one killed and six wounded. Among the townspeople the number of killed is yet unknown, even approximately.\n\nOn the flight of the officials the rebels sacked the town and fired the principal buildings. The yamên of Taotai Ch'u was burned to the ground, and those of the Prefect and the Magistrate, together with over 100 houses in and outside the city, suffered in the conflagration. The amount of treasure plundered by the rebels chiefly from the banks is estimated at 300,000 taels. About 2,000 rifles and several hundred thousand cartridges also fell into their hands.\n\nNotwithstanding the apparent proximity of Imperial troops, the rebels remained masters of Liuchow for almost five days. It was not until the 29th June that the town was reoccupied. By that date the rebels had started northward, about 2,000 in number, captured and pillaged the small town of Liu-cheng, and made haste into the neighbouring district of Chung Tu. They have now reached the extensive hilly region of the Prefecture of Ching Yuan known as Shih Pa Tung.\n\nThe Imperial troops in and around Liuchow seem sufficiently numerous to cope successfully with the rebels in the open field. They include :\n\n1. The original ying which did not revolt;\n\n2. The seven ying north, east, and west of Liuchow;\n\n3. Three ying of Hunanese which were hurried forward from Kueilin; and\n\n4. Two ying just arrived from Canton.\n\n[2172 cc-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 395211, "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": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "page_number": 548, "title": "CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904", "content_text": "DOMESTIC,\n\nBesides these, further reinforcements are on their way.

His Excellency came up in the gun-boat \"Chentun,\" escorted by three small sea-going cruisers and two torpedo-boats. At intervals during the day arrived 500 troops, commanded by Colonel Chang Ming-chi, forming two \"banners\" or battalions of the Wu Kang Chun. The men, drawn from the Provinces of Hunan, Hupei, and Anhui, are foreign-drilled, uniformed in khaki, and armed with magazine Mauser rifles. The Viceroy, when attended by a personal guard of 200 men, has taken up his residence in the yamen of the Literary Chancellor.\n\nThe Wukang troops are to-day being transhipped into light draft-boats which will convey them up the Kuei River to Chaoping-four days' journey from here-whence they will march overland via Pinglo to Kueilin. From there the present intention is for them to approach the disturbed districts from the rear via Yung and Hsiang.

For the past few months his Excellency has been anxious to undertake this duty in person, and he appears to have been restrained chiefly by reassuring reports from his subordinates, though want of money and health had also contributed to keep him in Canton. Apart from the stereotyped reproof from Peking, which the affair at Liuchow has brought, and which must be answered by at least a display of extra diligence, his Excellency has been deeply mortified by the open mutiny of his troops, and in his present mood may be trusted to infuse considerable energy into the operations against the brigands.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) C.

François Deloncle, submitted to a Parliamentary Commission a report on the defences of Indo-China, and a vote was taken, with the result that his proposals have been adopted practically in their entirety. The principal points, according to the \"Courrier Saigonnais\" as quoted by the \"South China Morning Post,\" are:-\n\n1. Indo-China must be put in a position to defend itself long enough to allow a French fleet to come out sufficiently powerful to defeat the enemy and retain command of the sea. A common plan of operations should be established between the Colonial, Naval, and Military Departments.\n\n2. \n| Point | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | The bases at Saigon and Cape St. James should be consolidated, and new bases created at Along Bay, Kamranh, Fort Dayot, and Pulo Condore. |\n| (b) | All the old armoured vessels of no value in the reserve division should be discarded. |\n| (c) | The establishment of a second naval base at Hongay should be given up and a mobile system of defence created. |\n| (d) | The permanent stock of coal at Saigon should be increased. |\n| (e) | The floating dock now in construction should be used pending the establishment of a second dock for repairs. |\n| (f) | The maritime defence in Cochin-China should be reorganized and one in Tonquin organized. |\n| (g) | Wireless telegraph stations should be organized. |\n\n3. A sanatorium for European troops should be established.\n\n4. Recruits should be enlisted locally to act as reserves.\n\n5. The necessary expenses for the work must to a large extent be borne by Indo-China itself.\n\nAccording to an article in the \"Petit Journal,\" M. Deloncle estimates the expense of carrying out his proposals at 210,000,000 fr.\n\n**(Signed)** **GEORGE COMBE**\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\nSketch of Old and New Proposed Routes of the Yünnan Railway.\n\n[Not printed.]\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\nMap of Railway Systems of Indo-China, June 30, 1905.\n\n[Not printed.]\n\nPakhoi, June 30, 1905.\n\nPage 345", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-331 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 405120, "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": "CO129-334 - Governor Nathan - 1906 [5-7]", "page_number": 315, "title": "CO129-334 - Governor Nathan - 1906 [5-7]", "content_text": "# DESPATCH.\n\n## C O.\n\n**Governor.** No. \n\n## 1906 \n## June \n\nprevious Paper, \n### HONG KONG \n## N° 20765 \n\n**(Subject.)** \n\n## REC \n## 20765 \n## [Red Stamp] 9 JUN 06 \n\nSurplus Subsidiary Coin amount is $3,200,000 in 10 cent pieces \n$148,000 in 20 cent pieces: \n\n### M.

My position, when appealed to, was a delicate one. If, at the instance of British subjects, I had protested to the Chinese Government and the provincial authorities against the boycotting of goods in which British subjects were interested, the result would probably have been the extension of the boycott to British goods also. Even to interfere on behalf of the cigarettes of purely British firms did not seem a politic step, for to say to the Chinese agitators that they must not prohibit the purchase of certain articles because they were not American, but British, was impossible, without implicitly recognizing the boycott of American goods as legitimate.\n\nA similar question in which Chinese feeling was excited the year before last was that of the Convention for the emigration of indentured labourers to South Africa, in accordance with the conditions laid down in the Transvaal Labour Ordinance.\n\nWriters in the English press in China strongly criticized these conditions, and they were backed up in their opinion by the arguments advanced in Parliament and in the English press, excerpts from which were translated into Chinese and forwarded to this country from Ceylon and Singapore. They found their way into the columns of the native press in North China, and created serious obstacles to the working of the Convention, besides exciting ill-will against Great Britain in the minds of ignorant people. The agitation has, however, died away, and at present no ill-feeling seems to exist on this subject, in consequence of the favourable reports spread by returned labourers, who brought with them considerable sums of money. I mention this matter to show how an anti-foreign feeling may result from a crusade carried on by well-meaning persons in foreign countries who regard it as their duty to advocate what seem to them to be the interests of the Chinese people.\n\nSince 1900 the native newspaper press has developed to a very remarkable extent, and as there is at present no press law to control or restrict newspaper utterances, these are often of a most intemperate character. Not only foreign nations, but high Chinese officials, are attacked with violence, and a case occurred not long ago at Hankow, where a newspaper enjoying foreign protection (as is the case with many of these sheets) openly applauded the attempt made at the Peking Railway terminus to destroy the Government Reform Commission at the moment of starting on its foreign tour by means of a bomb.\n\nIn 1903 a prosecution was instituted at Shanghae against certain Chinese students for publishing seditious libels directed against the Imperial Family, the result of which was the condemnation of some of the accused to various terms of imprisonment. Such acts of repression are, however, exceedingly few, in comparison with the number of actionable publications.\n\nThe students in question had passed some time in Japan. At the present moment there are believed to be some 8,000 or 9,000 young Chinese residing in that country, some no doubt pursuing their studies industriously, but many of them, it is to be suspected, devoting their attention rather to political questions and acquiring ideas which, for the present at least, cannot be put in practice in China. They occupy themselves with projects of political reform, and, strange to say, from being submissive members of a society in which political freedom is scarcely known, develop into little better than anarchists. Such is the effect of putting the new wine of Western ideas into the old bottles which are only fitted to hold the social doctrines of Confucius and Mencius.\n\nThey also have had before their eyes the object-lesson of an Asiatic nation which has kept the construction of its railways and the working of its mines in its own hands, has been able to recover jurisdiction over the foreigners who dwell within its borders, and has risen to a height of military and naval power which is without a parallel in this part of the world. They see the fruits, but pay no heed to the long course of effort and study which have produced them, and fancy that in order to secure the same for China all that is necessary is to desire them ardently. Those who remain behind in Japan send telegrams to their Government urging them to withstand the foreigner, while those who return home ally themselves with the anti-dynastic agitators who are always more or less active in China. It is such as these whom the Central Government fears, but, through the strong personality of the present Viceroy of Chibli, is able to dominate. In the provinces, however, the local authorities seem quite unable to restrain them, and it is to the agitation of the so-called \"recovery of China's rights\" that the unreasoning provincial opposition to foreign railway and mining enterprise is to be ascribed. I term it \"unreasoning\" because it not only protests against any further concessions being granted, but seeks to set up an a priori right to cancel the engagements already entered into by the Chinese Government, or with its official sanction, on the mere ground that the particular province does not wish them to be carried out.\n\n5\n\nIn spite of all this, I am reluctant to believe that this feeling is likely to develop into a widespread and active hostility against foreigners as such. The Central Government and the provincial authorities must, in my opinion, be acquitted of any desire to provoke hostilities with foreign Powers, and it is evident that they are ready to do what they can to avoid a conflict. Perhaps the Viceroy of Canton ought to be excepted from this favourable judgment. He is a headstrong personality, and we have had a good deal of trouble with him of late. But his high-handed treatment of leading members of the Chinese community has made him equally unpopular with his own countrymen. Of the other high provincial authorities the worst that can be said is that they are time-servers, lack moral courage, and, in the presence of a body of rioters, seem to lose their nerve.\n\nThe murder of American missionaries at Lien Chou in October last, the destruction of Spanish Catholic and English Presbyterian chapels in South Fukien early in February, the recent massacre of French and English missionaries at Nanchang, and the Shanghae riot of December last must be regarded as sporadic outbreaks owing their origin to local causes. There is no sign of any general conspiracy against foreign missions. Nevertheless, it is incumbent on the members of all missionary bodies to act prudently, to avoid all occasion of dispute with local authorities or \"gentry,\" and above all to refrain from intervention on behalf of their converts, for, as I had occasion to observe in a recent telegram, China is full of combustible material, and the indiscreet action of a missionary, merchant, or foreign official may at any moment lead to a local tumult.\n\nThe question seems to be: Is the present obstructive attitude of the Chinese authorities towards European enterprise and the hostility of the Chinese people, indicated in the boycott of American goods, likely to develop into a general movement of active hostility against foreigners as such?\n\nI think the reply must be that this will depend on a combination of various factors, and that it is proverbially dangerous to predict the future. As far, however, as the attitude of foreign Powers towards China is concerned, there seems at present to be no ground for apprehending any attacks upon her integrity and independence such as would unite the Court and the country in one wild effort to get rid of the foreigner. The situation therefore differs very materially from what existed early in 1900.\n\nAs far as the Powers are concerned, what is required is that they should exercise proper restraint over their own people, whether missionaries, merchants, travellers, or officials, and ensure that the Chinese people are always and in all matters treated with strict fairness and justice, while at the same time they maintain their Treaty rights and take due precautions for the protection of the foreign communities at the open ports. There may be perhaps some risk of the active members of the anti-Manchu party conceiving the idea of raising an anti-foreign cry in order to gain adherents, but such a cry must remain without effect as long as the Powers show their ability to protect the foreign communities by maintaining an adequate force of appropriate ships on the station; and in spite of the fact that the Manchus number only some 5,000,000 out of a total population that is probably not over-estimated at 300,000,000, I see no reason to believe in the success of a movement directed towards the overthrow of the present dynasty.\n\nWhat is necessary is vigilance on all sides, on the part of the Central Government and on that of the Powers; prudence and patience on the part of the general foreign community; self-restraint on that of the foreign press.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n0\n\n(Signed)\n\nERNEST SATOW.\n\n304", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407908, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 372, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n367\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[38623]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[November 17.]\n\nSECTION 5,\n\nC.

Combe, containing an account of a trip on the West River, taken by him in August last on His Majesty's ship \"Moorhen.\"\n\nI would draw special attention to his opinion in regard to a rumoured French railway line from Nanning, and to his remarks about piracy.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nNotes of a Trip by Mr. G. Combe on the West River on board His Majesty's Ship \"Moorhen,\" August 1906.\n\n1. Low Water on West River in 1906.\n\nTHE original object of this trip was to ascend the West River to Pose Ting, the head of navigation near the Yunnan frontier. Last year, this feat had been successfully performed by a French gun-boat, the \"Vigilante,\" which is believed to have reached Lungchow at the end of July and Pose at the beginning of August, when the condition of the river was unusually favourable. This year, unfortunately, except during the abnormal floods in the spring, the river remained low, and foreign gun-boats failed to reach even Nanning. In June, the \"Vigilante,\" attempting to ascend the North (as it is locally known) or Liu River, went aground near Wusuan. In the latter part of July a German gun-boat, for the first time, the \"Tsingtao,\" endeavoured to reach Nanning, but found it impossible to pass the Great Rapid, thirty miles above Kuei Hsien. His Majesty's ship \"Moorhen,\" after being detained at Wuchow early in July by low water, was afterwards recalled to Samshui, and did not start finally for Nanning until the 8th August. As the river was then rising rapidly, it was considered advisable to make as much speed as possible to Nanning and leave the visiting of local officials until the return journey. On reaching Kuei Hsien, 160 miles above Wuchow, we found that the state of the river would not allow us to proceed farther; the water here had been banked up by a sudden rise of the Liu River, but the Great Rapid above Kuei Hsien had not been affected and was still impassable. We waited a few days at Kuei Hsien, when the river began to fall as rapidly as it had risen, and the \"Moorhen\" was obliged to return to Wuchow without loss of time. Our trip, therefore, like those of the French and German gunboats this year, was unsuccessful, and only a brief report of it is necessary.\n\n2. The River Valley.\n\nThe 160 miles between Wuchow and Kuei Hsien may be divided into three sections, (1) from Wuchow to Pakma, 57 miles, (2) Pakma to Hsunchow-fu, 46 miles, and (3) Hsunchow to Kuei Hsien, about 57 miles.\n\n1. Wuchow to Pakma.-The country consists of great irregular masses of hills, among which the narrow river valley winds down from Pakma. The hill-sides are fairly well clothed with pines, though no doubt the cutting of the timber has been allowed to go on much too freely, especially in the neighbourhood of Pakma. Occasionally the valley widens out a little and patches of mulberry and paddy are seen, but these signs of human habitation are not very frequent. The country for the most part seems bare of population. The mouth of the Têng River at Teng Hsien is the only spot which presents a semblance of busy activity on a small scale.\n\n[2226 -5]\n\nOFC C\n\nPage 368\n\n \n...\n\n...\n\nPage 368", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407910, "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": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "page_number": 374, "title": "CO129-338 - Public Offices & Others - 1906", "content_text": "] \n\nThis Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n369\n\n4\n\nattitude was one merely of curiosity, and no opprobrious epithets were used as we passed.\n\nPiracy, so-called, is fairly common above Wuchow, steam-launches flying the British flag having frequently suffered. A fair number of guard-boats are stationed at intervals along the river, but these are of little use in apprehending pirates; nor do the local officials seem to have any systematic arrangements, apart from the guard-boats, for attempting to prevent the evil at the outset: they merely deal, more or less energetically according to the pressure applied, with each case as it comes up. The Canton Viceroy's proposal to station soldiers on each boat, which was carried out on launches running from Wuchow, has proved a failure, as it was bound to do. When at Ping Nam on the 17th, I learned from the Magistrate there that a launch had been pirated below that town on the 10th August, some hours after the \"Moorhen\" had passed up, and the soldiers on board were easily overpowered. A scheme whereby passengers, both male and female, are searched for weapons on shore, and then conveyed to the launch or steamer by specially licensed boat, is generally felt to be the only way by which such acts of violence might be effectively prevented. Some such precautions the steam-boat and launch Companies owe to their passengers, even though incurring temporary loss thereby. Under the present conditions it is regrettable to find that the British flag carries with it little significance in the eyes of the criminal classes on the West River; the pirating of nominally British-owned steam-launches has been carried on now for some time with comparative impunity; the pirates have been given plenty of rope, and it is to be hoped that their latest and most daring outrage, the successful attack on the steam-ship \"Sainam,\" will prove by the issue of the case that they have been given enough wherewith to hang themselves.\n\n6.

Sir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\n**Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received April 6.)**\n\nPeking, February 18, 1907.\n\nON the 10th January last I received a telegram from His Majesty's Consul-General at Shanghae stating that two Chinese residents in the Settlement had been arrested on a Mixed Court warrant at the instance of the Viceroy at Nanking charged with being concerned in the bomb outrage at Peking and with being members of a revolutionary society. Sir Pelham Warren asked whether he could insist on a *prima facie* case being made out against them or whether he should hand them over simply on the demand of the Viceroy.\n\nIn my telegraphic reply of the following day, I informed Sir P. Warren that the men should not be surrendered on the mere demand of the Viceroy, but that they should be brought before the Mixed Court, where the Assessor, whom I presumed to be Mr. Barton, should watch the case, and if it was found that the charges were made on *bona fide* grounds, I considered that the accused should be handed over to the Chinese authorities.\n\nI telegraphed at the same time to the Judge of His Britannic Majesty's Supreme Court asking him to give the British Assessor the benefit of his advice in dealing with the case, and I explained to Sir Havilland de Sausmarez that in view of the revolutionary activity in Central China it appeared to be important on political grounds that care should be taken to prevent the international Settlement at Shanghae from being regarded as a refuge for seditious characters.\n\nIn his reply of the 17th January, Sir H. de Sausmarez pointed out that there had been no case in recent years of a prisoner arrested in the Settlement having been handed over to the Chinese authorities without a preliminary inquiry in the Mixed Court; that this practice was recognized in the draft of the Mixed Court Amendments `(1 (b))`; and gave it as his opinion that evidence satisfactory to the Magistrate and Assessor should be produced. Such evidence, he added, need not be as strict as would be required in Europe, nor need it be given publicly.\n\nThe foregoing telegrams were repeated to you, and on the 19th January I had the honour to receive your telegram No. 7 stating that, unless there was some established usage or some special reason of which you had no knowledge, the preliminary investigation in the Mixed Court should take place in public.\n\nYour instructions were duly communicated to the Consul-General in Shanghae, who telegraphed that the Consular Body had decided to refer the case to the Diplomatic Body here.\n\nA meeting of the foreign Representatives was accordingly held on the 22nd January, at which, after considerable discussion, and with some hesitation on the part of one or two of my colleagues, it was decided to adopt the views embodied in my telegram to Sir Pelham Warren as supplemented by your telegraphic instructions above referred to. A telegram, copy of which I have the honour to inclose, was sent in this sense by the doyen to the Senior Consul at Shanghae, and the accused, who had been remanded from the 9th January, were again brought before the Mixed Court on the 28th January. The identity of the men was duly established, and, the evidence against them being such as was regularly admitted by the Court and sufficient to satisfy both the Magistrate and the Assessor that the charges were founded on reasonable grounds, the Court decided that they should be sent to Nanking for trial.\n\nA full account of the proceedings at the preliminary investigation and copies of the correspondence which passed between the Tuotai and the Consul-General on the subject will be found in the despatch from Sir Pelham Warren, copy of which I have the honour to transmit herewith.\n\nOn the receipt of this communication I thought it wise to telegraph to His Britannic Majesty's Consul at Nanking asking him to suggest privately to the Viceroy the advisability of giving the men a public trial in order to establish confidence in the justice of the case, but I have not yet received a reply.\n\n`[2450 f-13]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 411580, "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": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 80, "title": "CO129-344 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "As I have already mentioned, there was a disposition on the part of some members of the Diplomatic Body to question the propriety of the decision arrived at, and this feeling has since found expression in the letter from the Italian Chargé d'Affaires to the doyen, copy of which I have the honour to inclose.\n\nBaron Vitale asks that the procedure adopted in this case may not be regarded as a precedent for the future, and suggests that the Mixed Court, instead of only holding a preliminary inquiry, should itself try Chinese residents in the Settlement who may be accused of such crimes. This suggestion appears to me impolitic, and unsupported by the existing Agreements between China and foreign Powers.\n\nNeither by the Rules of 1869 nor by the amendments which are now under consideration can any such power be claimed for the Mixed Court, and a grave situation would, in my opinion, arise if we make such a claim on behalf of Chinese who had been concerned in revolutionary designs against their own Government.\n\nThe revolutionary movement in the Yang-tsze Valley which culminated in the recent rising in Hunan still gives the Central Government very grave cause for anxiety, and any attempt on the part of foreign Governments to invest the Mixed Court with exclusive jurisdiction over revolutionaries in the Shanghae Settlement would convert the place into a centre of sedition and be deeply resented by the Chinese Government.\n\nIt is only right to add that there seems to be no disposition on the part of the foreign community or the Municipal Council at Shanghae to embarrass the Chinese Government, and, as will be seen from the inclosed article which appeared in the leading daily newspaper at the time, the decision of the Diplomatic Body was received with acquiescence.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed)\n\n(Translation.)\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n### Mixed Court Magistrate's Warrant\n\n(Stamped by Senior Consul, January 7, 1907.)\n\nJanuary 6, 1907.

He procured the assistance of runners and effected the arrest. Chang and Huang engaged the lawyers Jernigan and Fessenden to appear on their behalf, but the latter were persuaded by the Assistant Magistrate Sun to withdraw from the case.\n\nHowever, the British Vice-Consul, Mr. Barton, said that a despatch either from the Viceroy or the Taotai would be necessary before the men could be handed over, and that he would also have to ask the Consul-General for instructions. The Magistrate therefore requested me to address you on the subject.\n\nThese men, Chang Pao Ching and Huang Yi (alias Huang Hsiao Chen), are two important rebels for whose arrest secret orders were issued by the Viceroy. Now that their capture has been effected, they should be sent to Nanking for trial.\n\nI have therefore the honour to request that you will give the necessary instructions for these men to be handed over to the Mixed Court for transfer, and favour me with an early reply.\n\n## Inclosure 5 in No. 1\n\n### Notes of Interview of Mr. Barton with Taotai\n\n(Seal of Taotai.)\n\n(Extract.)\n\nJanuary 12, 1907.

Warren.\n\nNo matter how I look at these arguments, I cannot understand them. When evil characters create disturbances in China, foreign residents and missionaries in the country share in the trouble which is thereby occasioned; and if it is said that the Powers are all concerned in such troubles, there is no doubt that such is the case. Having knowledge of the matter and being thus concerned, they should, as Treaty provides, speedily hand over the offenders for trial, and so contribute towards maintaining the interests of general peace and lasting order. Why, then, refer the matter to the Ministers? If you argue that such persons can only be handed over after reference to them, then the Treaty provision referred to is superfluous. If such reference be, however, necessary, how came it that you, being fully aware of Treaty provisions and of international law, in your former reply to me simply said that if Chang and Huang were revolutionary criminals, certainly assistance could be afforded as regards them?\n\nI would point out, further, that the Ping Hsiang rebels burned, slew, and robbed wherever they went, exactly in the same way as the Kuanghsi rebels. Are these the acts of political offenders? If these are to be called political offences, then what in International disputes will not be called political offences? ... to the detriment of Chinese and foreign interests, which most decidedly should not occur where parties are desirous of maintaining Treaty conditions.\n\nShanghae is a great centre of communication between sea and river, and members of criminal societies are gradually coming in to hide here—some of them energetic conspirators, some confederates and forwarding agents for supplies, &c., but practically to excite the popular mind. There has been absolute proof of all this in seizures made of smuggled arms and dynamite by the Shanghae Customs. If the guilty in such cases are swiftly punished, the movement can be suppressed, and security all the better assured; but if delays occur, time is given for the movement to swell and for the evil to spread far and wide.\n\nYou and your colleagues are well acquainted with the condition of affairs in China. You say that the Governments of the Powers having Consuls here are very seriously interested in this matter, and I would observe as to this that the conditions making for the security or otherwise of Shanghae have for those Governments an interest still greater. I have the honour to request that you will maintain the position that these men should be handed over, and urge the same upon His Majesty's Minister by telegram, and also represent earnestly to the Consular Body where advantage lies and where disadvantage in this matter, to the end that the offenders in question may be handed over. You will in so doing show regard for international relations, and be acting in the general interest.\n\nI trust that you will do as I request, and be good enough to send an answer to this letter.\n\n(Card and compliments of Taotai Jui.)\n\n## Inclosure 12 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Sir P. Warren to Taotai Jui.\n\nShanghae, January 19, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, on the subject of the case of Chang Pao Ching and Huang Yi, and to state in reply that I have communicated the gist of its contents to His Majesty's Minister by telegraph.\n\nI have, &c. (Card of Sir Pelham Warren, His Majesty's Consul-General.)\n\n## Inclosure 13 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by Mr. Barton respecting the Case of Political Prisoners.\n\nON the 8th January I was informed by the municipal police that two Chinese residents of the Settlement named Chang Pao Ching and Huang Yi had been arrested on a Mixed Court warrant charged with being members of a secret society and connected with the Tien-tsin bomb outrage. The warrant had been issued at the instance of the Viceroy, who wished the men sent to Nanking for trial, and the accused would be brought before me on the following morning.\n\nI informed the Consul-General of what I had heard, and received his instructions to observe the usual rule of the Court and see that reasonable evidence was forthcoming before agreeing to their being handed over.\n\nOn the 9th January, before going into Court, Mr. Sun, the Assistant Magistrate, whose day it was, mentioned the case to me, laying stress on its importance and the desirability of sending the men to Nanking without delay. I replied that the evidence against the accused must first be considered. He added that, on hearing that the accused had engaged the American lawyers Jernigan and Fessenden, he had made representations to the latter through the American Assessor which induced them to withdraw from the case.\n\nThe case was called in due course, and Mr. Home, an English barrister, appeared to defend the accused. Two small military officials sent from Nanking, named Yuan Fu Tsai and Wu Jui Li, testified to the manner of the arrest, and stated that the accused had been implicated by one Li Fu Tsai, who had already been executed at Nanking. A third witness, named Chang Pei Ting, testified to the identity of the accused.\n\nI now asked Mr. Sun to put certain questions to the accused, with regard to their residence, occupations, &c. This Mr. Sun at first flatly refused to do, saying that the men were charged by the Viceroy, and it was improper and impossible for him to interrogate them. He wished instead to deliver a severe lecture to Mr. Home, at whose appearance he was much incensed, and asked him if he did not know that even in England political offenders were extradited without preliminary hearing. How, then, could he presume to defend Chinese subjects charged with rebellion against their own Government? On my pointing out his error to him he calmed down, and asked the accused a few questions, from which it appeared that Chang kept a hostelry for students going to and from Japan, and Huang studied and wrote. Both were Hunan men, but had lived in Shanghae for the last six or seven years. They had never been to Japan. Asked whom they were known to, Huang replied, \"General Mesny,\" and Chang, \"The newspaper people.\"\n\nI now asked Mr. Sun whether he had any despatch either from the Viceroy or Taotai giving particulars of the charge against these men. He replied that he had not. The matter being a very secret and urgent one, the Viceroy had sent one of his Secretaries named Hsia Ming Kao to procure the arrest. There was no despatch containing the evidence on which the charge was founded. Mr. Sun argued that the case was so important that the men should be sent to Nanking at once, but I informed him that I could not agree to this until the evidence against the men—especially Li's statement—had been put before the Court.\n\nMr. Sun said he would report to the Taotai, and the men were remanded in the custody of the police.\n\nAs a result, the Taotai wrote a formal despatch to the Consul-General on the 11th January, stating baldly that the accused were rebel ringleaders, and asking for their surrender. Mr. Sun's report to the Taotai represented me as saying that a despatch from either Viceroy or Taotai was required, no mention being made of evidence.\n\nOn receipt of this despatch, the Consul-General instructed me to call on the Taotai and explain to him that what was wanted was a compliance with the ordinary procedure of the Court, and the production of evidence to show that the charges were founded on reasonable grounds. There was no desire to protect the men if they were really guilty.\n\nIf this evidence was not in the Taotai's possession, I was to ask him to telegraph to Nanking to obtain it.\n\nI saw the Taotai at his yamên in Shanghae City on the afternoon of the 12th January, and delivered the Consul-General's message. He expressed his gratification on learning that the Consul-General did not wish Shanghae to be regarded as a refuge for revolutionaries. As regarded the evidence, he had not got it, and he was afraid that to telegraph again to Nanking would mean loss of face both for the Viceroy and himself. He quite recognized the rule of the Court with regard to a prima facie case being made out against residents of the Settlement whose surrender was asked for by another jurisdiction, and he was willing to write to the Viceroy and explain that evidence must always be forthcoming on future occasions.

I pointed out that it was precisely because this was the first of possibly a numerous series of requests for the surrender of revolutionaries that it was important that everything should be in order, but he persisted that he could not again telegraph to the Viceroy, so I left to carry his proposal to the Consul-General, \n\nOn reporting to the Consul-General, I was instructed to point out to the Taotai that the latter's proposal to depart on this occasion from the usual procedure of the Court was one which would require to be referred to the Consular Body, and that such a reference would entail considerable delay, whereas if he complied with the usual procedure and produced the necessary evidence there was little reason to doubt that the delay would merely correspond with the time required to get such evidence from Nanking. \n\nOn the morning of the 13th January Mr. Mao, the Taotai's Secretary, who had been present at the interview on the previous day, came to the Consulate at my request, and I delivered to him the Consul-General's reply to the Taotai's proposal. The same day a formal despatch in reply to the one received on the 11th January was sent in embodying the request for evidence. \n\nOn the 17th January a despatch was received from the Taotai forwarding the evidence against the accused as received by him telegraphically from Nanking, but in the meantime the Consular Body at their weekly meeting on the 15th January had, on the matter being mentioned to them by the Consul-General, decided that the case must be referred to Peking for decision as to the course to be pursued, on the ground that the offence alleged was of a political nature. \n\nBy instruction of the Consul-General, I called on the Senior Consul on the 17th January, and handed to him translations of all the documents and correspondence, and explained the circumstances so far as they came within my knowledge as Assessor. \n\nA despatch was sent the same day to the Taotai informing him of the decision of the Consular Body to refer the matter to Peking, which drew from him the somewhat querulous letter of the 18th January. The latter is inaccurate, in so far as it purports to give a correct account of my interview with the Taotai on the 13th January, as will be seen by a reference to my note of what passed, made in the interview book at the time. The letter contained a request that the Consul-General would telegraph to His Majesty's Minister with a view to expediting a decision on the matter, and a short reply was sent to the Taotai informing him that his request had been complied with. \n\nThe decision of the Diplomatic Body having been communicated on the 24th January, the adjourned preliminary hearing was fixed for the 28th January, to take place at the ordinary morning sitting of the Court. At my request Mr. Kuan, the Magistrate, sat in place of Mr. Sun, the Assistant Magistrate, whose day it was, and who had sat at the first hearing; my reason for securing the change being to minimize the risk of disagreement as to the conduct of the hearing, Mr. Sun's quick temper and rooted objection to lawyers sometimes rendering it difficult to discuss questions with him satisfactorily. \n\nThe accused on this occasion were defended by Mr. Musso, a British subject who practices law with Italian qualifications. \n\nI handed to Mr. Musso an English translation of the evidence given at Nanking by the five \"rebels\" already captured, as received from the Viceroy and communicated officially to the Mixed Court Magistrate by the Taotai. No evidence was adduced on the charge of being concerned in the bomb outrage, which was therefore not proceeded with. \n\nOf the five criminals who at their trial implicated the accused, one—the Li Fu Tsai mentioned at the first hearing on the 9th January—was captured in November, and stated that he was originally leader of a gang of Yang-tsze river thieves, and was induced to join the \"Ke Ming Chun\" by its founders, two Hunan men, named Liu Cheng and Li Chao Mei. He knew that the accused were among its leaders. The remaining four men, two of whom had been named by Li as leaders, were captured in December on their way to the scene of the rebellion in Kiangsi, and gave a list of the moving spirits of the Society, among which were the accused, whom they described as holding the office of \"advisers.\" Four of the five witnesses had already been executed, but one, named Fu, was being kept to confront with the accused and others not yet brought to trial. \n\nMr. Musso applied for a remand on the ground that he had only just been instructed, but this the Court refused to grant in view of the fact that during the three weeks the accused had been in custody they had known what the charges against them were, and had had every facility for seeing their friends and instructing counsel. The accused were then questioned at length by the Court, each man's statement being made separately in the absence of the other accused and of the witnesses for the defence. Mr. Musso objected to the exclusion of the other accused, but the practice is the usual one followed by the Court in dealing with co-defendants who may be expected to speak in collusion with one another. \n\nThe accused Chang Pao Ching, aged 41, stated that he had been seven years in Shanghai employed in Chinese hotels, in a printing-press, and in a shop for foreign clothes, but for the last few months he had been keeping a boarding-house for students on their way to and from Japan. He had known Huang, who came from the same part of Hunan as himself, for the last three or four years. \n\nThe accused Huang Yi, aged 40, stated that he was a student, practised as a doctor, and wrote medical books. He too had been in Shanghai for some seven years continuously, with the exception of a trip to his home in Hunan last year. He contradicted Chang's evidence in some particulars, and also admitted that he had known a man named Yuan Yueh Seng (one of the late witnesses against him already executed). Both accused stated that they had never heard of the men alleged to be the heads of the \"Ke Ming Chun\" Society. \n\nMr. Musso proposed to call three witnesses to confirm the account of themselves given by the accused, but the Court replied that it accepted the account without confirmation. \n\nMr. Musso then addressed the Court on the unsatisfactory nature of the evidence for the prosecution, which he said had probably been obtained by torture; he also claimed for the defence the opportunity of cross-examining any witnesses brought against the accused, and asked that the surviving witness out of the five who had implicated his clients should be brought down from Nanking to give his evidence in person. He quoted the \"Supao\" case, alleging that the prisoner, who on that occasion was charged with a political offence committed at Hankow, was acquitted by the Court owing to the lack of oral evidence against him. \n\nThe Court replied that the \"Supao\" precedent did not apply, as in that case a special Tribunal was appointed to try the accused persons, whereas the proper authorities had decided that the accused in this case were to be treated in the usual way, the prosecution being required to show that their charges were founded, and that the identity of the accused was established, preparatory to the latter being handed over to the Chinese authorities for trial. \n\nMr. Musso said he intended to try through the proper channels to have the decision of the Diplomatic Body altered. He urged that, in view of the extreme seriousness of the consequences to his clients, the evidence against them was not sufficient to justify their surrender. The Court held that the identity of the accused not having been questioned, and the evidence against them being such as was regularly admitted by the Court, and being sufficient to satisfy both the Magistrate and the Assessor that the charges against the accused were founded on reasonable grounds, the men must be sent to Nanking for trial. The prisoners were accordingly handed over by the police to the custody of the Mixed Court runners for transference to the Taotai's yamen, and thence to Nanking. \n\nFebruary 4, 1907. \n\n(Signed) \n\n## Inclosure 14 in No. 1. \n\n**S.

He promised, however, that when the case was decided the evidence would be published in the newspapers.\n\nHis Excellency was somewhat more communicative this time about the charges, and I gathered that Huang, the only one of the two in whom he seemed to be interested, was being tried on at least three charges: \n| Charge | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | complicity in the Ping-hsiang affair |\n| (2) | belonging to a rebel society, i.e., the same charge on which he had been arrested before in Hunan |\n| (3) | fraudulent debt in connection with the purchase of a vase, also an old charge |\n\nChang was charged with sedition-mongering in connection with Chinese students in Japan. Both men denied complicity in the Ping-hsiang rising. The Viceroy did not believe that Chang had much to do with it. It was proved by documentary evidence, but the difficulty was that as the use of torture was now prohibited, they could not get the confession of guilt from him which was necessary before he could be convicted.\n\nThe Viceroy added that he had grave reason to suspect Huang of having been privy to the bomb attack made on him and the other Imperial Commissioners at the Peking railway station in 1905. Hu Yu-fen had informed him that a criminal (whose name I think he said was Yu Wei) had given evidence implicating Huang in this affair, and Hu had no knowledge at the time that Huang had a grudge against Tuan-fang. However, he said there was no evidence of this now available, and it did not form one of the charges on which Huang was being tried.\n\nPossibly this story throws some light on the animus exhibited by the Viceroy in regard to the prisoner. His Excellency seems to see nothing wrong in a trial for other offences besides those for which the prisoners were surrendered; and I am not at all clear myself how far the usual rules of extradition apply to cases handed over by the Mixed Court, so I thought it wiser not to say much on this point without instructions.\n\nI am, &c. \n(Signed) **W.

On the 22nd instant he reported that at an interview which he had with his Excellency that morning the Viceroy had informed him that he was prepared to discuss a workable scheme with him and the Commissioner of Customs as soon as the Wai-wu Pu had informed him that the Inspector-General would provide the necessary funds for the purchase and maintenance of the additional launches required. The Viceroy admitted that the launches at his disposal were neither suitable nor sufficient for the purpose.\n\nAt an interview which I had at the Wai-wu Pu on the 26th instant I brought this telegram to the notice of the Ministers present and urged them to take steps for providing the Viceroy with the funds he required. I said that China, in her own interests and as a matter of national dignity, should put a stop to piracy, and should no longer be content to delegate to foreign Powers the task of policing her inland waterways.\n\nThe Grand Secretary, Na Tung, admitted that the work was one which China herself should undertake, but said there was some difficulty in applying Customs funds required for general purposes to the exclusive use of Canton. He consulted Tong Tajen as to the amount required for the purchase of the launches and was told that it would be over a lakh of taels (about £14,000).\n\nAfter some further conversation, both Ministers intimated their intention of consulting the Revenue Council and Sir R. Hart, and they gave me a positive assurance that means would be found to carry the scheme into effect.\n\nTong Tajen expressed a hope that the shipping firms would be called upon to do their part and take reasonable precautions. The main thing was to see that the steerage passengers were separated from the rest of the ship by an iron grating.\n\nI replied that if the Chinese Government took effective steps to deal with the matter, they might reckon upon receiving our cordial co-operation.\n\nI communicated the result of this interview to Mr. Mansfield by telegram and have since had a conversation with Sir R. Hart on the subject. Sir Robert is still averse to supplying the money from Customs funds, and adheres generally to the views which I reported in the above-mentioned despatch.\n\nA despatch which I received from Admiral Moore, and of which a copy is inclosed herewith, enabled me to point out to Sir R. Hart that his views were not shared by a high naval authority who had studied the question on the spot. Sir Robert admitted that his own Commissioner at Canton differed from him on the question, and at his request I furnished him with a copy of Admiral Moore's despatch, in the hope that its arguments may lead him to modify his opinion.\n\nI am forwarding copies of this despatch confidentially to the Governor of Hong Kong, Admiral Moore, and His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) **J.

IN confirmation and continuation of my telegrams and despatch of the 11th instant, on the subject of the Viceroy Chang's attempts to raise funds for railway construction, I have the honour to report as follows:- \n\nOn the 15th May you telegraphed that the Yokohama Specie Bank had withdrawn from the negotiations, and the same day the agent of the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank here gave similar information, adding that the London office of the Yokohama Specie Bank had formally notified his London office of a Tôkio telegram to that effect. \n\nOn the same afternoon Mr. Midzuno told me that the three London banks were urgent for a Chinese Government guarantee of the loan, as they were co-operating shortly in the issue of a 200,000,000 yen loan in connection with the South Manchurian Railway, and that he had telegraphed suggesting the insertion of the last paragraph of Article XV of the Shanghae-Nanking Railway Final Agreement as an adequate safeguard, but without eliciting any reply. \n\nOn the 17th May Mr. Bland arrived and Mr. Midzuno called asking for news. On the 18th May Mr. Hillier came, and I learned that the Viceroy proposed to receive us on the 20th. Mr. Bland and I induced the Hankow Taotai, on whom we were calling, to telephone that Mr. Hillier must leave by the express train that night, and the Viceroy then invited us to cross over to Wuchang at once. \n\nHis Excellency then astounded us by stating that Mr. Odagiri and the Japanese Consul had been with him that morning pressing on him a loan of 20,000,000 taels for industrial purposes, and repudiating any intention of seeking British co-operation. Their offer held the field, and must be withdrawn before he could open negotiations with us. \n\nAfter much discussion and explanation of the Japanese Bank's inability to supply such a sum from its own resources while the issue of bonds in London and Paris would be blocked by the British and China Corporation and its French friends, his Excellency consented to block out the general provisions of a railway loan, though he was careful to say that there were great difficulties in the way of his memorializing direct for leave to sign such a loan. \n\nThe same evening Messrs. Bland and Hillier saw Mr. Odagiri, who at first claimed a perfect right to negotiate a railway or other loan, and scoffed at the undertakings obtained by us from the Viceroy as already denounced by his Excellency to the Throne, and only covering part of the trunk line to Canton. \n\nOn our return I had quoted to Mr. Bland his Excellency's despatch of the 9th September, 1905, as his Excellency had that afternoon himself denied its covering all railways in Hukuang, and he was thus able to refute the assertions of Mr. Odagiri, who on having the serious consequence of any attempt at trickery pointed out to him declared that he would withdraw entirely on receiving an order from his Minister. \n\nOn the 19th May, as I was, in accordance with his Excellency's request, sending him in Chinese cypher an account of the interview between Messrs. Bland and Hillier and Mr. Odagiri, the Japanese Consul called to explain that he and Mr. Odagiri had gone on negotiating simply because their bank had not apprised them of the Tôkiô message to London concerning the cessation of their negotiations, and that there was no intention of encroaching on the British sphere of interest. Mr. Bland had convinced Mr. Odagiri of the extent and force of the 1905 undertaking, and he, the Consul, had that morning telegraphed to his Minister that he must withdraw from all participation in such loan arrangements. \n\nOn the 20th May I asked the Viceroy to receive Mr. Hillier on the 25th, and on the 21st instant his Excellency sent his Secretary Chan with the inclosed note declining to memorialize for a railway loan, and asking me to call on the 23rd May. The Secretary said his Excellency was afraid of denunciation by newspapers, students, and gentry, and dare not do more than support the Board of Communications if that Board proposed to sign a Loan Agreement with the British and China Corporation. But his Excellency still hankered after a loan for general purposes, even if he had to reveal privately to their Majesties and the Grand Council the real destination of the money. \n\nI telegraphed this news to you, and on the 22nd received your reply that the Board of Communications refused to move first, and that the matter must await a change of popular feeling, the Viceroy being meanwhile kept to his engagements with us. \n\nOn the same evening the Japanese Consul sent me in confidence a translation of his report to his Minister of our conversation of the 18th May. I inclose this document, since, as I telegraphed, it diverges widely from Mr. Combe's and my recollection of what really passed. \n\nWhen I saw the Viceroy on the 23rd he met my report that the Board could not see why it should move first in a Hupei matter by remarking that he knew that his Excellency Ts'en's offer of support was a mere politeness, and that no loan for railway purposes could be considered, because any Memorial from his Excellency might very probably be discussed only by the Grand Council. This attitude he maintained, despite my arguments that his Memorial promising, in view of their Majesties' orders, to do his best to raise Chinese capital for railways left an opening for reporting that two years had been spent in vain efforts to raise such capital, and Hupei must borrow or do without railways. Reminded of his last year's confidence, that the Hupei gentry and people would acquiesce in such a loan, he shifted the responsibility on to the shoulders of Hunan and the unenlightened officers of the capital. Finally he suggested the development of mines as a good ostensible purpose for a loan, since that, although included in the Board's former veto, did not appear in the Decrees in answer to his 1905 proposals; and he developed a scheme of securing the amortization of a loan of 1,000,000l. by selling at a cheap rate a fixed annual amount of antimony ore, mined by native methods, to the lenders' orders. I objected that ore was bulky and expensive to transport. He rejoined that an Anglo-Chinese smelting establishment might be established near Hankow, or better near Shanghae, and that Hunan's experience showed how valuable such ore was. \n\nHis object was, he confessed, to make himself secure from charges of selling China's rights to outsiders, and he would, as an additional security, go on selling railway shares to Chinese. When this million was exhausted he would borrow again for railways if the times should become propitious. \n\nI said I would, as he desired, telegraph to you and consult the Hong Kong and Shanghae Bank here and let him know the result. \n\nMr. Taylor at once pointed out that antimony ore varied enormously in value, and would be an unstable asset unless an expert first inspected and later was stationed at each mine; and that the antimony market was so uncertain that `Messrs. Carlowitz` had to feed it most carefully in order to maintain prices. \n\nFinding that Mr. Odagiri remained here and that Mr. Hillier insisted on the specification of the purposes of a Hupei Development Loan, I drew up the inclosed letter to his Excellency's secretary, and sent it yesterday evening. \n\nThere appeared to me to be danger lest the Yokohama Specie Bank should, through some large local Japanese firm, pay to the Viceroy instalments of a loan really for railway construction, but nominally for public works, even though the issue of bonds for such a loan might be impracticable. Their offer of 95 as the net price of a 5 per Cent. Loan suggested that money raised in England at 4 per cent. was to be relent to Hupei at a commission of 1 per cent. The Viceroy had, on the 4th instant, threatened to close with that bank's offer unless we offered better terms, and his need of money is notoriously pressing. \n\nI was reassured, however, when I called on the Japanese Consul this forenoon, in order to deliver to him the message authorized by you in regard to our Agreements with China, to learn that he had received from his Minister instructions, based on the perusal of the documents sent him by His Majesty's Legation, to notify the Viceroy that no Hukuang loans, present or future, would be negotiated by any Japanese bank, as such transactions pertained solely to British financiers. He added that he and Mr. Odagiri would shortly call on his Excellency for this purpose, and that Mr. Odagiri would leave on the 28th May to continue his inspection of the branches of the Yokohama Specie Bank in China. \n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n**E. H. FRASER.** \n\nP.S.-Since writing the above I have received your telegram No. 23. I submit that Mr. Hillier's opinion of a development loan is unnecessarily harsh, in view of the peculiar situation of the Viceroy and the virulent opposition to suggestions for using foreign capital in Chinese railway undertakings.

Jordan.**\n\nHankow, May 17, 1907.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that a few days ago a Commandant (reserve) Baesens of the Belgian army, called at this office with a request to have four Chinese documents translated into English and also to execute before me an Agreement between the Belgian beneficiary under the three contracts with the Kansub authorities, M. Splingaerd, interpreter to the Belgian Legation at Peking, and himself, as representative of a financial group.\n\nTranslations of the three contracts are inclosed; the fourth M. Splingaerd stipulated should be kept secret.\n\nUnder the Agreement, which is for five years and renewable, M. Baesens is to find the necessary funds, estimated at about 1,000,000 fr. at 4¾ net and 5 per cent, a-year, and to form a Syndicate for this purpose, as well as to insure the due execution of the engagements entered into by M. Splingaerd. In return he is to be sole agent for the present and any future Concessions in Shensi and Kansuh granted to M. Splingaerd, including the boring of oil wells and refining of kerosene proposed by the Viceroy Shêng to that gentleman. M. Splingaerd is out on leave, and will act as Lanchou agent of the Syndicate, of which M. Baesens will be the Director in China.\n\nI inquired of M. Baesens, who gave as his reference the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, why he brought Belgian business to the British Consulate.\n\nHe replied that his Syndicate's capital would mostly come from British capitalists, and that his own country was not powerful enough to give effective support in case of opposition, which, however, he did not anticipate. Moreover, the Belgian authorities would insist on M. Splingaerd giving the agency to the Banque Sino-Belge instead of to his Syndicate. He was proceeding to Peking shortly and would personally explain to you the position, but meanwhile he wished to ratify his Agreement with M. Splingaerd, and to obtain certified translations which could be shown to financiers in London. He had been adviser to Yuan Shih-k'ai for two years until Russian influence caused his recall to Belgium. After retiring from the army he came back to China, where Jung-Lu had promised him a post as adviser, only to find the Boxer trouble in full violence, and so he had turned his attention to mercantile business.\n\nMr. Combe translated the Chinese documents, of which M. Splingaerd keeps possession, and, after revision, I certified the correctness of his versions. I also witnessed the signatures to the Agreement of the two parties, who deposited one copy here.\n\nIn the \"Han Pao\" of yesterday I saw the inclosed garbled account of the grant of these Concessions and showed it to MM. Splingaerd and Baesens, who were aware of the students' opposition and did not fear any result from it.\n\nMy Japanese colleague called to-day inquiring about M. Baesens who was, he suspected, trying to arrange to supply funds for redemption of the Ching-Han Railway bonds this autumn.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) \n**E. H. FRASER.**\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n**Agreements made between the High Authorities of the Province of Kansu and M. Splingaerd.**\n\n**(1.)**\n\nTHE Treasurer, the Judge, the Taotai, and the Chief Bureau of Agriculture, Works, Commerce, and Mines of Kansuh have now received instructions from Viceroy Sheng of Shensi and Kansuh permitting them to make an Agreement with M. Splingaerd, the Belgian Secretary of Legation, for the purchase of a set of machinery for gold-washing and for additional purchases of many appliances required for weaving woollen cloth. The matter has been mutually discussed and this preliminary draft Agreement drawn up embodying the following rules, specifying the machinery, its cost, and the method of conducting the schemes:\n\n| Article | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| **Art. 1** | The gold-washing machinery will include a complete set of appliances for blasting, shaft-sinking, extracting the ore, crushing the stone, washing, refining and separating the gold, together with furnaces and boilers; nothing must be wanting. The actual cost of the necessary materials, freight, insurance, and customs dues from Belgium to Lanchou is reckoned at a total of 40,000 Lanchou taels. |\n| **Art. 2** | For the woollen factory, one complete set of up-to-date steam boilers; hot-water and heating boilers; driving engines, one set; wool-sorting machinery, two sets; machines for spinning thread, two sets; for winding thread, three sets; the necessary thread-twisting, wool-cutting, cloth-pressing, and pumping machines, each one set; with such leather belting and other fittings as are required at the works, and in addition packing, insurance, carriage, customs dues, and other expenses from Belgium to Lanchou, will actually cost 80,000 Lanchou taels. M. Splingaerd will make a separate list, for purposes of record, of the various miscellaneous articles required for use in the factory. |\n| **Art. 3** | In regard to the gold-washing machinery, M. Splingaerd guarantees its daily capacity to be 50,000 catties of ore, producing 20 Chinese ounces of gold. The cloth-weaving machinery is of three kinds, according to fineness, and M. Splingaerd guarantees its daily capacity to produce 500 Chinese feet of cloth 7 feet in breadth, also that the cloth may be dyed of any colour. For the cloth-weaving machinery a daily consumption of coal will be allowed at the rate of 2 tons, or in Chinese measure, 3,200 catties. |\n| **Art. 4** | The woollen factory will employ four foreigners-one cloth-weaver, one thread-spinner, one dyer, and one mechanical engineer. The salary of each will be 300 taels monthly. Two foreigners may be used for the gold-washing machinery, a mining engineer and an engineer-artificer, each drawing a salary of 300 taels monthly. All these will be engaged through the medium of M. Splingaerd in accordance with the Regulations which have hitherto governed the engagement of foreigners. But as regards employment of persons, the Director of the Bureau will have the controlling voice in deciding. The nationality of the men engaged is immaterial: the important point is ability to set up the machines, weave cloth, and work the gold. No outsider may interfere. |\n| **Art. 5** | The foreign artisans engaged must not neglect their work; if there is any neglect of work fines by the day will be deducted from their salary, and other more satisfactory workmen will be engaged in order that business may not be neglected. |\n| **Art. 6** | According to the new Regulations, whenever an Agreement is drawn up the Throne should be memorialized, and the Board written to; only after Imperial sanction is obtained can the matter be definitely settled. This Agreement for those two classes of machinery has been mutually discussed, and is signed as a preliminary draft Agreement. His Excellency Viceroy Shêng will be requested to memorialize and write for permission, and when that is obtained this draft Agreement will become an actual guarantee; if sanction is refused, it will be dropped and become waste paper. |\n| **Art. 7** | The full price of the two kinds of machinery is to be 120,000 taels. When the Throne's sanction has been obtained M. Splingaerd will receive 20,000 taels as first instalment. When the machinery is shipped from Belgium he will receive a second instalment of 20,000 taels. Three months after all the machinery has arrived in Kansuh and been set up complete, if the various kinds of cloth, coarse and fine, daily woven are really 500 Chinese feet, and if the daily amount of ore worked is really 50,000 catties, and produces 20 Chinese ounces of gold, M. Splingaerd will then further receive 80,000 taels as third instalment. If, however, the machinery is not fit for the purposes, or is not in accordance with the standard fixed by the Agreement, it will all be returned to M. Splingaerd to take back. The Kausuh Bureau will not pay a cash for it. The two previous instalments paid to M. Splingaerd, amounting to 40,000 taels, must also be refunded, and the Chief Bureau of Agriculture, Works, Commerce, and Mines of Kansuh will drop the business. But if payment of the third instalment has been authorized, there can be no withdrawal whatever. |\n| **Art. 8** | The woollen factory is the property of Kansuh, the gold works are a source of profit to Kansuh, and the machinery is bought on account of the public of Kansuh. M. Splingaerd acts merely as middleman to buy these two kinds of machinery, having knowledge of cloth-weaving and gold-washing. With all other matters he has no concern. The question of staff is to be dealt with from time to time by the Director of the Chief Bureau of Agriculture, Works, Commerce, and Mines of Kansuh. |", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412637, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 397, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "# 5 The Situation in Szechuan\n\nThe recent outbreak in the K'ai Hsien and Wan Hsien districts, where popular discontent with the new opium taxes was fanned into open rebellion by the agents of secret societies, should be a warning to the Provincial Government of what may happen this summer in other parts of the province.\n\nThe gradual increase of direct and indirect taxation during the last few years, firstly for educational and latterly for railway purposes, culminating in the imposition in many places of prohibitive taxes on native opium and the threatened closing of opium divans and shops throughout the province, has roused feelings of resentment and suspicion among the people. Being in this frame of mind, the ubiquitous agents of the Red Lantern (\"Hung Teng Chiao\") and other secret societies find it an easy task to persuade the lower classes, especially the country people, that the foreigner and his religion are responsible for these schemes for education, railways, and the suppression of the opium habit, schemes which manifestly tend to transfer the hard-won earnings of the poor into the pockets of the officials. It is not, therefore, surprising that at K'ai Hsien the rioters made their rallying cry \"Down with foreign schools and gospel halls!\" and it is certain that wherever popular risings against the enforcement of the new Opium Regulations take place schools and mission stations will be the first to suffer. The agitators who lead these insurrectionary movements know by experience that the destruction of foreign property or the houses of native Christians is the surest means of embarrassing the officials and securing compliance with their demands. The Szechuanese, at ordinary times well disposed towards foreigners and foreign missions, blindly follow their lead and attack missionaries and converts, with whom they may have been living for years on friendly terms. The political outlook at the close of the quarter is not promising. Much will depend on the amount of pressure the Acting Viceroy is able to bring to bear on the local officials.\n\n## 5. Ningpo\n\nHis Majesty's Consul reports that on the 21st June a secret telegram was received by the Taotai from the Governor stating, on information supplied by the Viceroy at Nanking, that the revolutionaries in that district had dispatched agents to Shantung and to the neighbourhood of Ningpo to enlist followers with a view to the capture of certain cities, and that they had succeeded in getting together some 8,000 men among the fishermen and tinfoil workers. Strict orders were given for the capture of two leaders. In spite of the importance of keeping these orders from the men whose arrest was wanted, the telegram appeared in one of the Chinese papers a few days after its receipt.\n\nRice Troubles. During the quarter ended the 30th June there were slight risings at two places, in which some rice shops were looted, but the accounts of these which appeared in the foreign press were much exaggerated.\n\n## 6. Peking\n\n**Roman Catholic Church**. On the 14th June an Imperial clansman is stated by a native newspaper to have presented to Na Tung a Petition written in blood, asking that China should herself establish a Roman Catholic Association, should send a representative to the Pope, ask the Pope to appoint a representative to Peking, and also appoint a Chinese as Head of the Church; the object being to avoid foreign interference in cases where converts are concerned. Na sympathized, and sent the Petition to the Wai-wu Pu for their consideration.\n\nOn the 26th June another newspaper published a statement to the effect that, France having abandoned the Protectorate over Roman Catholics in the Far East, the Pope had sent to the Missions in China to make a careful choice of a Chinese to be Archbishop in China.\n\n**Japanese Buddhists in Fukien**. The Viceroy is said to have telegraphed to the Wai-wu Pu in June to the effect that over ten Japanese Buddhists had arrived in Foochow, where they were desirous of building a temple and propagating Buddhism, and that they claimed to be treated on the same footing as Christian missionaries.\n\n**Dalai Lama**. A native paper stated on the 14th June that a man from Hsining said that the Dalai Lama was still there, and would probably not start for Thibet before the end of the autumn.\n\n**Constitutional Reform**. It is evident that the discussion of this question is taking up a great deal of the Court's time, judging from the following extracts from the native newspapers, a few of the many which appear on the subject:\n\n- June 27. \"The question of constitutional government was discussed the other day in the Palace. Most of the high officials present were of opinion that Yuan Shih-kai and Chang Chih-tung should come to Peking to give their advice. Only Prince Ching was against this, holding that all the Viceroys and Governors should be consulted by telegraph, and in the end his opposition was successful.\"\n- June 29. \"After repeated discussion at the Grand Secretariat on the subject of actual preparation for a constitutional form of government, it has been decided to make a beginning with Chihli. A Memorial may be sent up within a month.\"\n- July 9. \"The Reform Edict of the 7th is said to be due to Viceroys Yuan Shih-kai and Tuan Fang, who wished to begin reforms in Chihli and Kiangsu, having got Prince Ching to see the Empress Dowager on the matter. The term of fifteen years was fixed on account of the large number of provincial officials and the difficulty of weeding them out.\"\n- July 18. \"On the 16th, at an audience of the Grand Council, their Majesties directed the Council to call upon the Princes, Dukes, and high military and civil officials to make an immediate study of the means of preparing for constitutional government and to memorialize the Throne.\"\n- August 2. \"A Memorial has been received from Yuan Shih-kai, in which he holds up Corea as an awful example, and which has had a great effect on highly-placed persons at Court. These persons met a few days ago to discuss the formation of a Council of Constitutional Reform and the early establishment of a Constitution. Duke Tse was especially outspoken.\"\n\nJuly 11. Prince Ch'ing has taken the opportunity afforded by the alarm which the assassination of En Ming created to press again upon the attention of their Majesties the advisability of the early adoption of constitutional government, represented that such a course would deprive the anti-dynastic societies of their only device for gaining adherents, which is to make out that the Chinese Government is despotic and tyrannous.\n\n**Assassination of Governor of Anhui and Yang-tsze unrest**\n\n- July 18. \"The Grand Council was in such a panic over the assassination of En Ming that they held a meeting and decided that Hsu should be severely tortured and his entire kindred exterminated, as a warning to future rebels. Prince Su, when he heard of this, stood alone in disapproving, saying that the extermination of a family was not a civilized punishment, and that revolutionaries and anti-Manchus could not be restrained in that way; and he advocated the execution of Hsu without involving his family. But it was not until he had obtained the support of Prince Chun and Hsün Peitzu that Prince Ching and Lu Chung-tang could be persuaded to agree to a more temperate action.\"\n\nOn the 1st of the 6th month (30th June) an anonymous telegram was sent to Chang Chih-tung from Shanghae, enumerating the revolutionaries whom he has killed in the last few years, and saying that in the course of the 6th or 7th month he will be killed with a bomb. The Viceroy was much alarmed, and gave orders for the utmost vigilance to be used in watching for smuggled arms. Quite recently a police raid in Wuchang resulted in the seizure of 2,000 guns and a large quantity of cartridges and powder and the arrest of four men, one of whom said he was the nephew of Sun Wen. He said that the arms had been brought in the day before, but declined to say by what means they were got past the Customs, even when examined with the bamboo. He was then executed within the gate of the Viceroy's yamên.\n\nOn the 3rd August a native paper stated that \"Lien K'uei, Governor of Kansu (so the paper; he is, in fact, Governor of Hsin Chiang, the New Territory), has been stabbed by a certain District Magistrate, and fears are entertained for his life. No official news has been received, but the family of Tuan Fang have had a telegram.\" This proved to be an entirely unfounded rumour.\n\nThe same paper stated, also on the 3rd August, that \"for the last week the Grand Council have been having repeated secret meetings, once in the Imperial presence.

Messrs. Vestey Brothers also signed the rules, and Mr. Combe, in my absence at Kuling and without consulting me, approved them. In the latter instance, as when my predecessor in 1898 approved the British subject Cain's accepting similar conditions for the recognition of his sole ownership of land within the German Concession earlier bought from Chinese, it is very probable that the exact bearing of the second rule on the personal liability of the alien lot-holder to be tried in the German Court was not fully explained. The wording might well be taken to mean nothing more than the recognition of Concession rules and of the Concession nation's law respecting the transfer, mortgage, and demise of land, which is all we ask of alien purchasers of our lots, especially since German and other foreign residents on our Concession have for forty years claimed and been granted the right of being justiciable only by their own Courts, and had successfully denied the right of our police to enter their premises without the written permission of their Consular authorities.\n\nI should myself have inclined to this interpretation, but for a visit some time ago from my French colleague, whose assurance of the extent of the German claim was formally confirmed by Dr. Kriege.\n\nI submit that, legally, a Concession is distinguished from a Colony, within which the owner's national law and Courts have sole jurisdiction, by the fact that China has not parted with her original ownership of the soil, and so extra-territorial rights have not been extinguished.\n\nThis distinction is recognized by the German authorities, for when my United States' colleague claimed exemption for certain taxes on his house within their Concession, on the plea that this was the regular privilege of foreign Consuls resident in Germany and its dependencies, this application was rejected on the express ground of the Concession not being German territory.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n3\n\nConsular officer to approve an undertaking by a British subject in China the effect of which is to remove him from the jurisdiction of the British Courts, and to render him liable to prosecution, fine, or imprisonment under the law and by the Courts of some I should be glad, therefore, if you would satisfy me as to the exact meaning of the second of your Regulations for the purchase of land.\n\nother nation.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) E. H. FRASER.\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nHerr von Loehneysen to Consul-General Fraser,\n\nSir and dear Colleague,\n\nHankou, December 3, 1907. IN reply to your letter of the 28th ultimo. I beg to inform you that every owner of a piece of land situated in the German Concession is bound to observe the \"Regulations for the Purchase of Land,\" of which I inclose three copies.\n\nTherefore, the intending buyer of a piece of land in the German Concession has \"to submit to the German law and jurisdiction in all legal matters connected with bis land and his position as a member of the municipal community\" (obligation under 2), and to sign \"a declaration in writing to the effect that he personally submits to the above Regulations, which declaration, if he is a subject of a Treaty Power, must be approved by his Consul\" (obligation under 5).\n\nAs the owner has to submit to the German jurisdiction in all legal matters connected with his land, he has to appear, in case of non-observance or infringement of the Concession Regulations, before the German Court, in accordance to his declaration approved of by his Consul. This submission to the German jurisdiction is, of course, an exception to the rule, according to which every foreigner in China is exclusively submitted to the Courts of his own nationality; but this exception refers only to legal matters connected with his land in the German Concession. In order to enforce a judgment of the German Court against a foreigner we should only be able to take hold not of the person, but of the piece of ground, and have it sold or arrested.\n\nIn every other respect we should have to apply to the Consul of the foreigner in question.\n\nYesterday Dr. Kriege had the honour to submit to your inspection a document wherein Sir Pelham Warren in 1898 approved of the declaration written by Captain Cain, intending buyer of a piece of land in the German Concession, in which Mr. Cain had submitted to German law and jurisdiction.\n\nI should feel much obliged if you would let me have your valuable opinion as to whether you can agree with Sir Pelham Warren's point of view or not.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) v. LOEHNEYSEN,\n\nConsul for Germany,\n\n(Signed)\n\nE. H. FRASER.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Fraser to Herr von Loehneysen.\n\nSir and dear Colleague,\n\nMR. EVERALL, a British subject, informs me that before Lot 42 in the German\n\nHankow, November 28, 1907. Concession can become his property your Office requires that he sign, and I approve his signing, a submission to certain Regulations which he produces governing the purchase of land in your Concession by other than German subjects.\n\nThese Regulations seem to be generally similar to the system in force in this and the other Concessions in regard to alien purchase of lots, but I do not find the usual statement that, in case of non-observance or infringement of the Concession Regulations and bye-laws, the defaulter will be brought before the Court of his own nationality.\n\nI am, of course, quite willing to guarantee the enforcement upon my nationals who acquire land or house property in your or any other Hankow Concession of all its Regulations and bye-laws; but, in my opinion, it is not in the power of any British\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nRegulations for the Purchase of Land.\n\nTHE landowner is bound-\n\n1.

To submit to the German law any jurisdiction in all legal matters connected with his land and his position as a member of the municipal community.\n\n3. To guarantee that the obligation under 1 and 2 are also taken over and carried out by his lessees, tenants, or any other person or persons to whom he may transfer his rights, as well as by sub-lessees, sub-tenants, &c.\n\n4.

There seems little doubt that he suffered from hypospadias, a congenital condition in which it is a surgical fact that there is absence of some part of the floor of the urethra. In almost all these cases, there is some degree of arrested development of the testicles and scrotum, with loss of ability to procreate. The local irritation caused by this hypospadias is capable of setting up spermatorrhoea, or rather a false spermatorrhoea, in which there is a discharge of a seminal-like fluid, destitute of spermatozoa. The presence of this complaint would serve to keep him in a more or less debilitated condition—a lack of virility—all his life.\n\nThe heavy duties of Court life, from which there was never any respite, with Grand Council meetings beginning at 4 A.M., and all the worries of his peculiar position, would appear to have brought him into a condition of neurasthenia. From time to time, he suffered from attacks of insomnia. The never-ending press of work in an individual in whom the capacity for work was limited and the general history of the case were causes such as give rise to neurasthenia. The doctors who attended him know well enough the symptoms of phthisis, as it is so common a disease among Chinese, but they have never said he suffered from this. Nor had his face the puffy appearance of one suffering from kidney disease, and he did not show any of the other manifestations of tuberculosis, such as intestinal or bone disease, as far as can be gathered from the clinical symptoms he was said to have shown.\n\nThe progressive weakness of neurasthenia was accompanied, as is the case in its latter stages, by cardiac weakness and general loss of tone of the circulatory, intestinal, and sexual systems from which he respectively suffered in the last stages of his illness: (1) swelling of the lower limbs, (2) pronounced constipation, (3) pronounced spermatorrhoea. The \"vicious circle\" thus established, by which the weaker his constitution became, the more these symptoms were aggravated and vice versa, gives a quite reasonable explanation of how he came by his death.\n\n### The Empress Dowager\n\nAt the recent audience when Sir John Jordan introduced Admiral Lambton, it was remarked by those of us who were present that, while Her Majesty was looking well, she had aged in appearance, and for some time previous to that, there were reports that she had not been in good health. At the beginning of October, she suffered from an attack of weakness, and the Chinese said she had caught cold (\"chao liang\"). There was a good deal of influenza in Peking about that time, from which a great many Chinese suffered, and it is quite possible she had that, as there were no definite symptoms that they could put a name to beyond general body weakness.\n\nOn her birthday, by all accounts, she ate more than usual and took some fruit which was over-ripe. By the next day, she was suffering from dysenteric symptoms, and the acute diarrhoea with loss of blood very soon brought her into a debilitated state. Dysentery in elderly people is always much more dangerous than in earlier life. A Chinese doctor (Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel in the Lu Chün and in touch with other official doctors) told me that for four days she passed motions of \"strips of black blood\"—evidently pieces of her intestinal mucous coat mixed with blood. This blackness points to the irritation being high up in the bowels—probably an acute gastritis.\n\nIn any case, it seems certain she never really rallied from this attack and felt herself getting steadily weaker. While in this state, she sent Prince Ching to see about her tomb, and during his absence, on hearing of the Emperor's grave condition, her anxiety became acute and no doubt made her worse. A few hours after Prince Ching's return, the Emperor died—about 8 p.m. To the unsettled state of the succession, coupled with the absence of any proper treatment, sedative or otherwise, must have strained her to the utmost. She held a Grand Council meeting at 2 A.M., after a long and anxious day, and later on in the early morning when they returned to again consult with her, she could only wave them aside, saying she was too weak to speak. She died the next afternoon, her dysenteric symptoms persisting to the end.\n\n### Review of the Circumstances of these Deaths\n\nOn reviewing the circumstances of these deaths with a view to rumours which have been bruited abroad as to foul play (poisoning), while, in the Emperor's case, there is no evidence of it, the sudden appearance of acute intestinal disease in the Empress Dowager might be said to be suspicious. But I do not think so for the following reasons:\n\nPoisons all fall into the three main classes of:\n1. Corrosives;\n2. Neurotics; and\n3. Irritants.\n\nUnless there was a widespread collusion to hide the truth, she had none of the symptoms of the two former classes. Those of corrosives are marked and unmistakable, and neurotics are equally excluded—there was no sudden death as by prussic acid, nor coma as by a narcotic, nor sudden rapid suffocating sensations as by strychnine, &c. She might have been given an irritant poison; in the absence of all opportunity for analysis, it would be difficult to say definitely, but from her symptoms, it is improbable that such was the case. There is no mention of her having had nausea, violent vomiting, or great pain, and her illness did not steadily increase in severity till collapse and death occurred.\n\nAs far as can be gathered, though the treatment may have left much to wish for, and if properly carried out might have tided her over this attack, her death was a natural one, my diagnosis being dysentery accentuated by over-fatigue in a senile constitution.\n\n**G.

How is trade to be encouraged? What new industries to be developed, new markets opened up? How are banking methods to be reorganised, and reforms introduced into the salt monopoly? Should the statutory interest charged by pawnbrokers be revised? How are the instructions of the central Government in regard to the issue of paper money to be carried out?\n\nLand Tax-An improved scheme is put before the members for the collection of the land tax and a discussion of its merits requested.\n\nWeights and Measures.-How to introduce a uniform system?\n\nThe assembly in November was engaged in digesting this wide programme, but no report of the debates had appeared in the papers, although accommodation was provided for newspaper reporters.\n\n## MANCHURIA\n\n### Feng-tien (Mukden) Province\n\nElectorate. There is little detailed information. The province was divided into forty-five electoral districts for the first election of delegates, and eight centres for the second election of the members of the assembly.\n\nFirst Election.--The election of delegates took place on the 7th May, 1909, and it is stated that 52,679 qualified voters registered their votes. Assuming the population of the province to be about 8,000,000, there was approximately one qualified voter to every 150 inhabitants, or double the proportion in Shantung.\n\nSecond Election. Composition of Assembly.--The election of members occurred on the 1st June. Of the 50 elected, 26 have official rank, 42 have literary degrees, and 4 have studied in Japan. They vary in age from 30 to 74.\n\nOpening Ceremony.-The opening of the assembly took place on the fixed date, the 14th October, in the presence of the Viceroy and governor, a special building costing 60,000 taels (£7,000) having been erected for the purpose.\n\nBusiness.---According to the press reports, the following questions have been placed before the Mukden assembly for discussion:\n\n1. Funds for local government purposes.\n\n2. Prohibition of opium.\n\n3. Organisation of police.\n\n4. Funds for education.\n\n5. Organisation of agricultural associations.\n\n6. Extension of wheat and bean crops.\n\n7. Improvement of sericulture and wool.\n\n8. Currency, trade, waterways, mines, and fisheries questions.\n\n9. Reorganisation of the land and other taxes.\n\n### KIRIN PROVINCE\n\nOpposition to Governor.-No information except a general statement that the assembly has manifested a strong opposition to the policy of the governor, who is reported to have written to the Viceroy stating that the province is not yet ripe for the adoption of parliamentary institutions. (These reports have since been denied in the press).\n\n### HEILUNGCHIANG PROVINCE\n\nOpening-Beyond a bare announcement that the assembly was opened at Tsitsihar at the due date by the governor, there is little information in the press.\n\n## CHIHLI\n\nOpening Ceremony. The provincial assembly of Chihli held its opening meeting on the 14th October in Li Hung-chang's Memorial Temple at Hopei, Tien-tsin.\n\nSpecial assembly buildings are at present being erected on an extensive scale, but will not be completed before May next.\n\nViceroy's Speech-His Excellency Tuan Fang, Viceroy of Chihli, opened the proceedings, in the presence of a full attendance of members, by reading the Imperial edict of the 13th October. In the subsequent speech, the Viceroy dwelt particularly on two points:\n\n1. In considering local interests, the assembly should always keep steadily in mind the larger national interests.\n\n2. The assembly must beware of overstepping the limited rights conferred upon it.\n\nA president and two vice-presidents were then elected. Salaries are fixed as follows: president, 150 taels per month; vice-president, 120 taels; and members, 70 taels per month, with travelling expenses.\n\nGovernment Programme of Business.--The subjects submitted by Viceroy Tuan and discussed by the assembly were:-\n\n1. A proposal to substitute cash for grain tribute from certain districts.\n\n2. Institution of a census.\n\n3. The development of instruction in easy writing.\n\n4. The reform of the police regulations.\n\n5. Enquiry into the system of official runners.\n\nTo these has to be added-\n\n6. Plan for carrying out local autonomy in Chihli, a subject suggested by the Constitutional Government Committee.\n\nDebates. Owing to the number and variety of subjects for discussion, the original session of forty days was extended ten days. The debates were open to the public, but it appears that few took advantage of this privilege. They were not reported in the native press, which is apparently waiting for the presentation of the assembly's reports and the Viceroy's comments thereon before dealing with the subject. The session was concluded on the 3rd December, when nine members were elected to represent the assembly in the Senate.\n\nRelations of Assembly to Senate and Central Government.-The regulations which govern the constitution of the assembly provide that the opinions it forms should be submitted direct to the Senate in Peking. In the meantime, as the Senate is not yet in being, the assembly reports to the Viceroy, who, at the conclusion of the session, explains the official attitude on the subjects of the reports. It has been suggested by a censor that this viceregal superintendence detracts to a great extent from the usefulness of the assembly, the object of whose existence is the discussion of public affairs by persons independent of the Government. That the central Government is exceedingly anxious as to the behaviour of the newly-constituted body is evidenced by the fact that they have several times by telegram urged the Viceroy to keep a strict watch that the assembly does not exceed its rights, and that this nervousness is to some extent justified may be realised from the reports that twelve representatives of the assembly requested the Wai-wu Pu in a memorial to cancel the agreement lately concluded between China and Japan concerning the Manchurian question. Interference of this sort in matters which lie between the central Government and foreign States was of course frowned upon, and the memorial promptly pigeon-holed. The incident serves to draw one's attention to what will be a certain source of trouble in the future.\n\nThe above is taken from a memorandum by Mr. G. A.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received December 23.)\n\nPeking, December 6, 1910\n\nIN his despatch No. 386 of the 28th October on the financial situation Mr. Max Müller mentioned, amongst other evidence of China's need of money, an issue in the summer of Anhui provincial bonds for 1,200,000 Kuping taels and reported that Messrs. Samuel, MacGregor, and Co. (Limited), of Shanghai, had been in treaty for the purchase of 1,000,000 dollars worth of these bonds.\n\nThe matter was first brought to the notice of His Majesty's Legation by Messrs. Samuel, MacGregor, and Co., in May last, and in pursuance of a request from them the Wai-wu Pu were asked by Mr. Max Müller to define the conditions as to security, &c. The reply was to the effect that the issue of the loan had been sanctioned by Imperial decree. Security was to be provided by miscellaneous funds in the provincial treasury and the local li-kin revenue amounting in all to 290,000 taels a-year. These sums, it was stated by the Board of Finance, could not be paid out for any other purpose. It was added that there was nothing in the regulations with regard to this loan which forbade the acquisition of the bonds by foreigners. The terms of the Wai-wu Pu's note having been communicated to Messrs. Samuel and MacGregor, the latter expressed themselves as quite satisfied with it.\n\nOn the 24th June, Mr. Max Müller was informed by the acting British consul at Wuhu, that the firm in question had completed the arrangements for the loan and he authorised Mr. Combe to witness the signatures to the transaction, but a week later he learnt that the negotiations had been broken off owing to the unexpected reluctance of the provincial authorities to sign a contract for the supply of arms which Messrs. Samuel and MacGregor had made a condition of their purchase of the bonds. Until last month nothing more was heard of the matter and I do not know how the difficulty was adjusted, but the negotiations for the loan have now been definitely concluded. Of the issue of 1,200,000 Kuping taels sanctioned by the Throne, no less than 1,100,000 taels face value have been taken up by Messrs. Samuel, MacGregor, and Co., the price paid being 1,067,000 Kuping taels. The issue is in bonds of the face value of 100 Kuping taels each, and it was arranged that the bonds should be handed over to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank in exchange for cash payment.\n\nAs will be seen from the accompanying copy of a letter from Messrs. Samuel, MacGregor, and Co., the purchase was completed on the 17th November. The security for the service and redemption of the loan is, as already stated, to be provided out of the provincial revenue, but there is some apprehension lest this revenue, previously ear-marked for this loan, has not been pledged again for the service of the recently concluded Tien-tsin-Pukou Railway supplementary loan. I accordingly took an opportunity of speaking to Mr. Mayers on this point, and he explained that the revenues of Anhui were pledged under the Tien-tsin-Pukou agreement only to the amount of 700,000 taels, and considered that it was only this portion of the provincial revenues which was declared to be free from all other loans, charges, or mortgages. He did not think, therefore, that the security necessarily conflicted with the prior pledge made to Messrs. Samuel and Co., the entire revenues of the province being probably largely in excess of the aggregate of the two sums. At the same time, he admitted that the lenders in such cases were simply obliged to accept the Chinese statements, and that there was a looseness about the transaction which detracted from the value of the security.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ.

Evidence had not been wanting, even before the murder of the Acting Tartar General early in the month, that some deeply laid plot was on foot aimed at the representatives of the Manchu dynasty in Canton, (the Viceroy though not a Manchu being included in the category as the official most to be feared). It is most probable that April 26th was the day originally chosen for carrying out the plot, and that the report spread abroad that the 29th (the 1st day of the Chinese 4th moon) was the appointed day was merely a blind. It was only the fact that the expected reinforcements for the revolutionaries failed to arrive, that delayed the outbreak.\n\nThroughout April, rumours were prevalent as to the imminence of a disturbance, and though the revolutionaries", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-383 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 437421, "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": "CO129-389 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1912 [3-4]", "page_number": 77, "title": "CO129-389 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1912 [3-4]", "content_text": "Mr Collins.\n\nwas\n\nThe appointment of Attorney General, Hong Kong, ($1500), brought before the Patronage Committee at their meeting of the 29th of April.

They have been placed in a very difficult position. Not only are their sympathies strongly with the revolutionaries, but any appearance of unwillingness to support the provisional \"Military Government\" at Canton was fraught with personal or pecuniary risk. As merchants, their trade is with Canton and if the name of any individual was noted by the busy bodies of Canton as being that of a man who had not shown zeal, it was probable that his business would be ruined. Most, if not all, own property in Canton and have relatives there or in the neighbourhood, and both would be endangered in such circumstances.

Consulate-General,\n\nCanton, November 4th, 1912.\n\n163\n\nSir,\n\nOn the 8th ultimo, as already reported in the Intelligence Report for the September Quarter 1912, the Provincial Treasurer, Mr. Liao Chung-k'ai, announced that it was the intention of the Local Government to establish before the end of the year a Bank of Kuangtung, the notes of which would ultimately redeem the depreciated paper currency now circulating in the market. It was the Tu Tu's intention at that time to obtain the necessary capital, £5,000,000 gold at 6%, from an American Syndicate on the security of the land tax. This proposal was vetoed by the Central Government, who took special exception to the pledging of the land tax and general exception to provincial borrowing from foreigners. They instructed the Local Authorities to await the conclusion of a large loan then under negotiation, a share of which would be allotted to the provinces, and further to consider all local taxes as national (Kuo Shui) pending specific classification by Peking.\n\nDemands on the Local Treasury are, however, so insistent that the Tu Tu was unable to accept the decision of the Central Government as final. In place of the land taxes, he now proposes to substitute the Prefectural Duties (Fu Shui) estimated to amount to $700,000 per annum and also, if allowed, the taxes on pigs slaughtered (T'u Chuan) and sold (Chu Chuan), which are expected to realise $280,000 and $120,000 per annum respectively. From these sources, he will thus command an annual sum of $1,100,000 to meet the interest and amortisation of the proposed loan.\n\nThe intermediary with the American Syndicate is a Mr. C. S. Paget, a local architect of American nationality, who for some time past has been endeavouring to raise small loans on doubtful security with British firms.

The book contained instructions regarding arrangements for attacking the Government officials in Canton and for providing a bomb brigade for the assassination of persons denounced by the society.\n\nThe book was obtained from an informer who says that he was sent in July last to obtain recruits for a revolutionary movement at Wai Chau. He had spent the money given him, and as there was no more forthcoming, he had given up his mission.\n\nSubsequently in an interview with the Registrar-General, the informer said that he had been given the book by Wong Sz Lung; that the new revolution was on the eve of starting, but that some hitch had occurred.

Subsequently, at an interview he had with the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Comb was informed that the action complained of was based on instructions from Peking. This statement I am inclined to disbelieve, as it was only on the 16th May that a telegram from Kuo-wu Yuan regarding opium was received here. From the enclosed translation you will observe that the suppression of smoking and the prohibition of cultivation are to go hand in hand, and it is on this suggestion apparently that the Opium Prohibition Bureau submitted to the tutu on the 27th instant, a new set of eight regulations which, although not yet embodied in a proclamation, have been approved.\n\nThe first is directed against the cultivation of the poppy plant;\n\nThe second divides prepared opium shops into three classes—the classification being according to their sales—to the owners of which six monthly licences will be issued. At the end of the first six months class 3—those having the least custom—will have to abandon the trade, classes 2 and 1 will have their licences renewed, on payment of double fees, for another half year, with a renewal on the same basis for a further six months, after which, i.e., eighteen months in all, say at the end of 1913, no more licences will be issued;\n\nThe third deals with failure to take out licences on the part of smokers, exhorts the police authorities to exercise more vigilance, and threatens with dismissal any Government servant guilty of the opium habit;\n\nThe fourth directs the closing of all opium divans which, although previously shut up, reopened when the change of Government took place;\n\nThe fifth establishes branch offices of the bureau in every district (\"hsien\");\n\nThe sixth remonstrates against the prevalence of smuggling, and orders the adoption of more strict preventive measures;\n\nThe seventh threatens with forfeiture of property and destruction of goods all manufacturers of implements used in opium smoking; and\n\nThe eighth recommends the purchase or distribution of a certain opium specific, guaranteed free from morphia or other deleterious ingredient.\n\nAgainst the second regulation I have entered a protest in writing, and have also had impressed personally upon the secretary of the Foreign Bureau, who is in relations with this office, the necessity of making the tutu clearly to realise how very seriously these recurring infractions of the Opium Agreement of 1911 are received.\n\nShould any further developments take place I will report by telegraph.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. W. JAMIESON.\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nPrécis of Proclamations by Police Commissioner of Kwangtung, published in Native Press on May 8, 1912.\n\nTHE proclamation commences by stating that opium smoking is going to be entirely stopped within a certain period, and that during that period only holders of permits issued by the police department will be allowed to purchase the drug. Applicants must file information as to their name, age, address, birthplace, occupation, and the quantity of opium consumed per day, together with their photographs for registration. This they must do before the 10th May, and they are to pay the permit fee of 40 cents in advance.\n\nTen regulations follow—\n\n1. Permit-holders may purchase opium only once each day. They may purchase less than is marked on the permit but not more.\n\n2. When a purchase is made, the vendor will stamp the name of his shop in the blank space on the back of the permit for each day's purchase. No sale will be effected unless the permit is produced.\n\n3. No permit will be renewed after the 31st December, 1912, after which date smoking must cease.\n\n4. The host at a feast may not supply his guest with opium, nor may opium be smoked on such occasions.\n\n5. Persons receiving these permits may renew them after a period of three months. If before that time the holder breaks off the habit his permit is to be delivered up for cancellation.\n\n6. In the event of a holder losing his permit he must provide a reliable guarantor before it can be replaced.\n\n7. Permits are not transferable, and holders must report to the police department any change of address.\n\n8. Opium dross must not be sold to druggists for use in compounding medicines.\n\n9. Should the holder of a permit leave Canton he must report himself to the authorities at his destination, and exhibit his permit for their inspection,\n\n10. Any person infringing the above regulations will be fined in accordance with the seriousness of his offence.

No modification, therefore, of the situation thereunder created can take place except by negotiation between the two contracting parties, that is to say, between the British representative at Peking and the Central Government. It is in no circumstances competent for an individual province or any local authority to initiate at will measures not in consonance with the provisions laid down in the convention between the two countries, and any attempt in this direction calls for the strongest resistance, more especially as China, whilst seeking prematurely to strangle the carefully regulated import of Indian opium, determinable within a given period, is everywhere resuscitating the cultivation of the native poppy plant.\n\nIt is accordingly Mr. Jamieson's duty to lodge an emphatic protest against any proposals of the nature contemplated, and to request that further consideration thereof be abandoned,\n\nRepresentations in the same sense are being made to the Wai-wu Pu by His Majesty's Minister, who, on being informed thereof, has taken in very ill part this action of the Kwangtung administration.\n\nCanton, May 22, 1912.\n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nKuo Wu Yuan to Vice-President Li, Wu-chang Huang (Liu Shou), Nanking, and all Provincial Tutus.

The intention thus manifested is worthy of all praise, but in the initial days of the Chinese Republic the Central Government expressed their intention of observing all treaties already entered into by the late Ching dynasty with foreign Powers.\n\nOn the 8th May, 1911, a convention, the result of many conversations, was signed, Clause 3 of that convention runs as follows:—\n\nHis Majesty's Government further agree that Indian opium shall not be conveyed into any province in China which can establish by clear evidence that it has effectively suppressed the cultivation and import of native opium.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 441028, "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": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "page_number": 364, "title": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "content_text": "# COPY\n\n## Enclosure\n### 360\nAugust 20, 1912.\n\nMessrs.

In Weihaiwei and Ceylon, where the number of opium consumers is small and the population more or less stable, it has been found possible to institute a system of registration which will gradually abolish opium consumption, whereas in Hongkong and the Malay Peninsula, where the Chinese population fluctuates and fresh immigrants are constantly arriving, registration is considered to be impracticable.\n\nThe steps taken in Weihaiwei and Ceylon to abolish the use of opium may be stated as follows:- In 1909, the Commissioner of Weihaiwei, under the instructions of His Majesty's Government, promulgated an Ordinance regulating the traffic. By its provisions, no person may import, possess, sell, or buy any opium, whether prepared or raw, unless he is either a qualified medical man or chemist (in which case he is permitted to deal in opium for bona fide medicinal purposes), or a person who is licensed by a Government medical officer to smoke or otherwise use opium on the ground that deprivation of the drug would injure his health. Licensed consumers are registered, and, as they die out, the use of opium will gradually be abolished. The law further provided that no person might be licensed who was either not of full age or a woman, though the latter could obtain a licence by special sanction of the Commissioner.\n\nSuch an additional safeguard against the consumption of opium by persons hitherto unused to it was provided...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 441453, "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": "CO129-397 - Public Offices & Others - 1912", "page_number": 217, "title": "CO129-397 - Public Offices & Others - 1912", "content_text": "## Nursing Assn.\n\nDate: 1912 May 14\n\nReferring to previous Paper `رفاه` 14 061, and subsequent Paper `HONG KONG` 15463\n\nNursing Distes.

My reply to the Foreign Commissioner's letter is the outcome of that discussion. I at the same time instructed Mr. Combe to take advantage of my absence and to endeavour to ascertain privately from Mr. Lo what his letter really meant and to what extent the Industrial Commissioner was prepared to meet us in so far as future supplies are concerned. This interview, which took place on the 1st instant, answered no valuable purpose. Were we prepared to state that no breach of Treaty had been committed and were the claim for damages unconditionally withdrawn, \"they would see what could be done\". The desire to institute a monopoly was denied, and the old contentions that they had an inherent sovereign right to punish contractors who acted contrary to law, and were not bound to give previous notice of domestic legislation, advanced once more. In any case, Government were not prepared to supply stone: the Green Island Company must find new contractors. Counter arguments proved of no avail, and absolutely no progress was made.\n\nThe pretext, behind which in their answer they will doubtless seek to shelter themselves, is the word \"illicit\" applied both to the quarrying and the transport of stone in Ch'en Tu Tu's original Notification, but they will find it not easy to explain in what respect a trade carried on with the knowledge and approval of the Imperial Government for years should suddenly, at the instance of the Canton Cement Works, be dubbed illicit, the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 443104, "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": "CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6]", "page_number": 142, "title": "CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6]", "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nSir,\n\nC.O. 141/19463 IRE 9 JUN 13\n\nGOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG, 16th May, 1913,\n\nI have the honour to inform you that on the 26th ultimo, 2 bombs were placed beneath chairs in the verandah of Cafe at Hanoi.

A short time before this outrage, an Annamite Official at Thai Bin in Tonkin, who had been active in the prosecution of revolutionaries, was killed by a bomb while riding in a jinricksha. Two weeks previous to that crime, eight bombs were discovered deposited in different places in Saigon and in the adjoining town of Cholon.

In January, 1912, a Chinese carpenter who was engaged to do some work in another house in the same district picked up a small bomb among some rubbish on the floor and dropped it on the tiled floor with the result that his right hand was shattered by the explosion which followed.\n\nIn both cases the premises had been rented by Chinese who disappeared after the explosions and were not traced. On the 11th of September last a Chinese threw a bomb at another Chinese in the street at Yaumati, Kowloon, and killed him. The murderer was hanged and the only motive for the crime was apparently a private quarrel.

Monsieur Liebert avers that the Annamite pretender, Kung Thé, is at present in Canton and that the Chinese Authorities there sympathise actively with the revolutionary movement against the Government of Indo-China and will do all they can to support it.

Mr. Imai, the Japanese Consul-General at Hongkong, was also present at this luncheon.\n\n2. In the course of a private conversation on the 4th August, M.

They described themselves as traders. Their arrival excited suspicion and enquiries made by the French Consul in Shameen elicited the fact that letters were subsequently sent to this house through the post addressed \"Major...... \" and \"Captain..... \" in the Japanese Army. (Mr. King was unable to obtain the names). After the declaration, these Japanese removed from Shameen and were subsequently seen in the native city.\n\n3.

Report on an Ordinance entitled **An Ordinance to amend the Law relating to Explosive Substances**.\n\n2. Section 1 of the Ordinance is formal.\n\n3. Section 2 of the Ordinance defines Explosive Substances. The definition is taken from Section 9 of the Explosive Substances Act 1883.\n\n4. The object of this Bill is to introduce into the local Legislature certain of the provisions of the Explosive Substances Act 1883. There seems, unfortunately, good reason to fear that amongst the Chinese, the practice of manufacturing and using Bombs is becoming common; recent assassinations in China indicate that the methods of making these destructive implements are well known. During the last year, a locally made Bomb was thrown in the Colony with fatal effect by a Chinaman, whilst quite recently a large gang of Chinese who appear to have come to the Colony from Annam and Siam, and some of whom had been educated in the Colony, were captured with an elaborate and extensive outfit of materials for the manufacture of Bombs, their apparatus and materials consisting of such articles as Iron bomb shells, Detonators, Dynamite, Gun-cotton, Chlorate of Potash, Nitro-glycerine compounds, and other substances too numerous to mention in detail. Under these circumstances, it appeared evident that the provisions of the Ordinances relating to Arms and Ammunition and to Dangerous Goods were not adequate to deal properly with this class of affair, nor did it appear that the ordinary sections of the Criminal Law dealing with direct attacks on persons and properties fully cover circumstances of the character indicated. It seemed that what was here requisite were the principal provisions of the Explosive Substances Act, 1883, and this Ordinance brings into force locally the main sections of that Act.\n\n5. Section 3 prescribes that any person who unlawfully and maliciously causes an explosion of a nature likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property shall be guilty of felony, whether or not such explosion has been followed by injury to person or property. This section is taken from Section 2 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1883.\n\n6. Section 4 of the Ordinance is taken from Section 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1883, and prescribes that any person who unlawfully does any act with intent to cause by an explosion, or conspires to cause by an explosive an explosion likely to endanger life or cause injury to property, or who makes or has in his possession any explosive with intent by means thereof to endanger life or damage property, or to enable any other person so to do, shall be guilty of felony, whether any explosion has taken place or not, and whether or not injury to person or property has been caused.\n\n7. By Section 5, it is provided that any person who makes or has in his possession any explosive substance under circumstances which give rise to suspicion that such explosive is not being made or possessed for a lawful object shall, unless he can show a good excuse, be guilty of felony. This Section is taken from Section 4 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1883.\n\n8. Section 6 of the Ordinance deals with the position of accessories and prescribes that they can be tried and punished as if they were principals. This Section is taken from Section 5 (erroneously referred to as the same section number in the original, but correctly corresponding to the Explosive Substances Act 1883's structure) of the Explosive Substances Act, 1883.\n\n9. Section 7 of the Ordinance prescribes that nothing in the Ordinance shall exempt any person from any proceeding for any offence punishable other than under the provisions of the Ordinance.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-403 - Governor Sir May Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1913 [8-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 444918, "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": "CO129-404 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1913 [10-12]", "page_number": 430, "title": "CO129-404 - Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1913 [10-12]", "content_text": "## J.\n\n425\n\n**Brown Agents.** 1913 15 Dec.\n\nLast previous Paper. 1434599\n\nIca 36517 40891 a 2015 **HONG KONG** 43110 0. 43110\n\nRe: 15 OFF 13 Contracts with Auglotrench Wireless Fel bo\n\nThe be has withdrawn from \n* Negotiations for Requento Barta 32688 Eat motructions Magomate 16.

He lived shut up in a Palace closely guarded by soldiers. I remarked that this attitude had been forced on him by the attempt on his life some time ago. Mr. Tang answered that the bomb thrown at Yuan had been meant for another, and that in any case, a public man in China must expose himself. He himself had been threatened by a man with a revolver in each hand.\n\n(b) The President was untrustworthy; he did not keep his promises. For example, there were the cases of Tuan Sze-Kwei and Wong Tsz-Hsiang, which led to Tang's resignation of his appointment as Premier. Tuan was a low fellow with no education whom Yuan appointed to command his bodyguard.

He wished to know what the Company were willing to pay. I have since been informed confidentially but on excellent authority that the person is an agent of Lung Tutu and that the latter is bent on making money out of limestone in either of two ways (1) by retaining a monopoly for the Canton Cement Works, or, if that fails through diplomatic pressure (2) sharing with his agent the profits which would accrue from obtaining for the agent in question the sole right of quarrying for the Green Island Company.\n\nOne of the features of the situation, since the results of Mr. Jamieson's interview of November 1st became public, is the press campaign conducted against the removal of the restrictions on export. I have protested against this verbally and by letter and the Tutu has since agreed to order the suppression of such newspaper criticisms. But there is no doubt in my mind that, notwithstanding their promises to Mr. Jamieson, the Canton Government are as obdurate as ever in their intention to favour the local company at the expense of the Hongkong Company and that only strong pressure from Peking or perhaps retaliatory measures on the part of the Hongkong Government will induce them to alter their present attitude.\n\nI have etc.\n\n(sd.)

There are the usual reports of armed robberies by bands of brigands, especially in the south-east and east of the province bordering on Kuangtung. But the Government would seem to be doing its best to restore order, and captures of brigands are reported almost daily. There has been no piracy on the upper portion of the West River during the past quarter.\n\nKuangtung.\n\nThe number of members to be sent by the province of Kuangtung to the Peking Parliament is thirty. There are seven electoral districts. The third electoral district, which includes Swatow, provides four members, and the total number of electors in the district is 257,585. The Haiyang magistrate and others were denounced for malpractices, but the cases against them were settled by compromise.\n\nCircular instructions have been issued by the Canton Governor to the various district magistrates directing the establishment of police in the villages without delay. After three months an official inspection will be made, and the efficiency of the different district magistrates will be judged according to their merits or the reverse. Membership of the Triad Society is said to be increasing; and another society, the Eight Diagram Society, has also been fomenting trouble, but the military authorities seem to be able to maintain control for the present. The latest advices from Canton indicate that the Tutu and local officials are gradually strengthening their position. Appeals have been issued for some time past to Chinese abroad for funds for a campaign in Mongolia, but it is more than doubtful whether the money received will be devoted to this purpose.\n\nAt Pakhoi, in the south-west of the province, there has been a severe epidemic of bubonic plague, which, owing to the general insanitary conditions of the port, seems likely to increase in virulence during the present quarter. Many of the Chinese have taken refuge in the surrounding villages, but the disease does not seem to be spreading much to the interior; though one or two cases have been reported from Limhow. The latter district has also been the scene of some rioting out of the imposition of new taxes. These disorders were suppressed with great brutality by Colonel Hsu Wei Yang, who did not hesitate to make use of his troops for the purpose of levying blackmail on unoffending villagers. Colonel Hsu has since been recalled, and the situation is now more peaceful.\n\nFukien.\n\nIn the beginning of February there was an attempt to assassinate the new civil commissioner, Chang Yuan-chi, by means of a bomb placed on a bridge over which he was passing. Chang noticed the bomb, and stopped his chair in time to save his own life, but two of his bodyguard in front had their legs blown off. Bombs have also been found in other parts of Foochow, but otherwise there has been no serious disturbance. The district round Foochow has been quite peaceful, and even Hsing Hua, usually in a state of unrest and especially so since the forcible uprooting of the poppy crop, is now settling down to more normal conditions. His Majesty's consul at Foochow observes a notable inclination among the natives to revert to idol worship and to the pre-Revolution type of costume. The attitude of Fukien and Chekiang towards the Central Government would seem to be rather more loyal than that of the other southern provinces, and it is possible that, in the event of a conflict, they would take sides against the latter in favour of Yuan Shih-kai.\n\n[22890]\n\n(No. 185.)

It was very easy for us to find that these \"merchants\" had not the slightest knowledge of the real value of the offered objects. Just out of Chantilly, a disreputable-looking individual ran to meet us with his arms raised. We had to stop, else we would have run over him. Then he handed me a bracelet. \"My wife's,\" he said, sobbing, \"who has been killed by the Boches.\" I asked him what the engraved letters and figures meant. Perplexed silence. He had never paid any attention to those marks, he said. My neighbor opened the gold watch he was offered for one Louis d'or, which was surely worth some 500 francs, and read on the inside of the case a dedication. That also the busy looter had paid no attention to. What were we to do? Hand him over to the police? We should have to hunt for the latter a long time. And think of the trouble! After all, one robber more or less really amounts to little in a district flooded by the Paris criminal world, since the peaceable inhabitants wander about without rest and without aim.\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\nThe military critic of the **Berliner Tageblatt**, the famous Major Moraht, thinks that Russia has failed as a serious menace to German success.

Italy also has published her records; Germany has done so only in part. From the publications we possess it is possible to observe the attitude of all the Powers, and to come to a decision as to what nations sincerely wished for peace, and what nations desired, not peace, but war. The facts will be stated as they appear in these documents. Let the reader draw his own conclusions.\n\nJune 28th, 1914. On this day the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary and his Princess paid a state visit to the town of Serajevo in Bosnia, the capital of the two provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. When entering the town, the Crown Prince and Princess narrowly escaped being killed by a bomb which was thrown at their carriage. Later in the day they were shot by assassins armed with pistols.\n\nJuly 3rd. The Crown Prince and Princess were buried, and infuriated mobs in Vienna tried to tear down the flag on the Serbian Legation.\n\nJuly 6th. On this date the German Emperor left Kiel for a cruise in Northern waters.\n\nJuly 7th. There was a conference of Austrian Ministers with the Military and Naval chiefs of staff, and a seven hours Ministerial Council on the Serajevo tragedy.\n\nJuly 9th. On this day the results of the Austrian investigations into the Serajevo crime and the decisions of the Council having been laid before the aged Austrian Emperor, he agreed to the decision of his Council. This fact was announced on the 10th, but neither the result of the investigations, nor the decision of the Council was disclosed to the public.\n\nJuly 13th, 14th. There were serious disclosures in France concerning the condition of the French Army and its unpreparedness for war. These disclosures undoubtedly strengthened the hands of the German military party, who believed it would be easy for them to sweep rapidly on to Paris, beat France to the ground, then swiftly turn round with all its forces on Russia.\n\nJuly 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th. Heavy selling of shares took place in the Canadian Pacific Railways by Berlin dealers. The Canadian Railway is a British Limited Liability Company, and Germans, probably with inside knowledge of Germany's plans, were evidently desirous of obtaining their money before war broke out.\n\nJuly 16th. Austria-Hungary has two Parliaments, one in Austria, the other in Hungary. On this date, the Prime Minister of Hungary, who later became Prime Minister of Austria-Hungary, declared in the Hungarian Parliament that war was now a sad necessity. This was a week before Austria sent her demands to Serbia.\n\nJuly 23rd, Thursday. Austria, having secretly made her warlike preparations, now for the first time disclosed her intentions towards Serbia, without publishing any proof of the Serbian guilt. Austria now forwarded a formal despatch containing certain demands. These demands took the form of an ultimatum, and their acceptance by the Serbian Government in toto was required within 48 hours. The ultimatum included a form of apology to be published on a specified date by the Serbian Government, and ten engagements which the Serbian Government were to accept. These engagements were of so humiliating a character that acceptance would have made Serbia a vassal of Austria. They were so worded that it was evident Austria did not expect or want them to be accepted. On the contrary, the terms clearly indicate that Austria expected and wanted immediate war, so that she could swiftly occupy Belgrade, the Serbian capital, which is close to the Austrian border.\n\nThe British Foreign Minister, Sir Edward Grey, having received a brief summary of the ultimatum, interviewed the Austrian Ambassador to England, and deplored the fixing of a time limit as a first step. He pointed out that the possible consequences of the situation were terrible, probably involving all Europe in a war. He urged that Austria and Russia should enter into a discussion to settle the Serbian difficulty.\n\nJuly 24th, Friday. This was an anxious day in the Chancelleries of Europe, the beginning of many anxious days. The complete details of the ultimatum were not communicated to the other Powers of Europe until this day, thus giving them only one clear day for action. Moreover, whether accidentally or purposely, no more extraordinary time could have been chosen for the delivery of the ultimatum, for important personages were absent from home. In this grave time of crisis, whether accidentally or intentionally, the German Emperor was absent on a cruise. The President and Prime Minister of France were on a State visit to Russia, and had instantly to curtail their visit and rush back a five days' journey to Paris. As the British Ambassador in Russia telegraphed to Sir Edward Grey: \"It looks as though Austria purposely chose this moment to present her ultimatum.\" The Emperor of Austria was away from the Capital, at Ischl, and after the issue of the ultimatum the Prime Minister also left the Capital for Ischl, so that there was no responsible statesman in the Austrian Capital with whom to discuss. Can anyone doubt that the issue of the ultimatum had been timed to make discussion by the nations useless? In other words, that war had been pre-arranged by Germany and Austria!\n\nIt is absolutely certain that Germany was consulted by Austria before the ultimatum was issued, because Austria was entirely dependent upon German support in case of war with Russia. It cannot be doubted also that Germany agreed to the ultimatum before it was issued.\n\nAt any rate, the German Government lost no time in informing the Powers that it approved the Austrian note, stating that it considered the demands \"equitable and moderate,\" and that Austria's action had the unhesitating approval of the German Government. The German Government also stated that the Austrian action was rendered necessary by the Pan-Serbian propaganda, which aimed at the incorporation with Serbia of the southern Slav provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina; that if Austria wished to remain a great Power it could not avoid pressing the demands made, even by military means; and that the question was one which concerned no Powers except Austria and Serbia.\n\nRussia was unable to agree that the Austrian demands were only directed against Serbia. Serbia is a country peopled by Slavs, of the same race as Russia, and Russia stood...\n\n495", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-431 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 461321, "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": "CO129-432 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [3-5]", "page_number": 802, "title": "CO129-432 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [3-5]", "content_text": "## DRAFT.\n17 May 16\n\nMINUTE.\n\nGov.

They are well-armed with lesser automatic pistols, rifles, and bombs, and there seems to be no lack of ammunition. They do not run to much in the way of uniform and are comfortably dressed. A few saw a 7-centimeter gun in position and were told that 6 others were disposed in groups of two at other points. They have a number, indefinite but apparently considerable, of machine guns.\n\nLi's men were said to have had 4 years' training, to be extremely well-disciplined, and able to execute manoeuvres at the whistle. Their cavalry was praised. But there seems no doubt that they are badly equipped and lack ammunition. They were said to number four or five thousand and to have four 7-centimetre guns.\n\n### Plan of Campaign\nThe armies have faced each other for two weeks without any action. A few days ago, an emissary from Li's side came over apparently to discuss the situation, but we could not discover what the result had been. Sons of those with whom we talked said it rested with Lung whether there was to be fighting or not. We heard in more places than one that Lung had sent telegraphic instructions for an assault on Sunday, July 2nd, but that the general in command had replied that he could not manage it before Monday, and that Lung had accordingly ordered him to attack on Monday, July 3rd. This seemed to be common talk among the troops, who stated further that the main assault was to be made by a party of 200 bomb throwers, probably on Li's advanced position or the south bank. By the time this is read, it will be known whether the information was correct.\n\n### The Feeling of the Troops\nIn Canton, one had been depressed by the gloom of the situation. At the front, it seemed incredible that this thing was serious war. We crossed the river in a sampan and wandered about on the right bank, photographing what took our fancy; we hobnobbed at the edge of shallow trenches with most courteous soldiery, who seemed completely indifferent to the possibility of shell fire. We exchanged cards with corporals and were invited into their tents.

The bomb, apparently, had not injured him but he had carried out his threat for he had a bullet wound in the head. There was another wound in the left shoulder,\n\nbut this, it is thought, he received earlier in the affray. He was taken out, still alive, and removed on an ambulance to the Hospital.\n\n+4\n\nThe Police were then lined up, and, entering the premises in two parties by different ways, made a thorough search. They found the bodies of Inspector O'Sullivan and Sergeant Clarke, as described, both shot through the head, and conveyed them to the Mortuary; Handcuffs were found near them, indicating the object of their visit. In the premises, ammunition, knives and gags were also discovered. It is assumed that the robbers belonged to the North. One was well dressed in European style, with gold sleeve links and a gold watch. The others wore short fur-lined coats.\n\nThe police acted with great courage and are deserving of every praise for the way in which they dealt with an extremely difficult and dangerous situation. Sergts. Wills, Cockle, Murphy and Peplow and others constantly exposed themselves to grave risks in the execution of their duty. The Captain Superintendent (Mr. Mel Messer) was early on the scene, and later he was joined by Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse, D.S.P., Mr. T. H. King, A.S.P., Mr. T. F. Hough, A.S.P. (R), Mr. Franks, A.S.P. (R.), and Major Robertson, the last named bringing the bombing party and machine-gun. A number of Police Reservists, also, armed with rifles and revolvers, were present almost from the beginning.\n\nH.E. the Governor arrived shortly after one o'clock, and, indifferent to the danger, went straight to the besieged premises and remained to the end.\n\nDuring the siege a Chinese detective who had discarded his tunic, was seen to run out of a house in Queen's Road, mistaken for one of the robbers trying to escape, carrying a revolver, and, being fired at had a lucky escape as he was not hit.\n\nThe late Inspector Mortimer O'Sullivan was forty-one years of age. He joined the Hongkong Police Force in 1890 as a constable, attaining the rank of Sergeant in 1903, Full class in 1912, and first class in 1914. He was promoted Inspector (third class) in 1911, and was considered one of the most efficient members of the Force. He leaves a wife and family.\n\nDetective Sergt. Clarke, also, had been in the Force for many years and was a married man.\n\nWe are informed that the Chinese living in the neighbourhood have suspected the existence of a band of robbers in their midst as every night for some time past thefts have been committed in the Street and Up Fai Street, block of houses lying between Gresson", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-447 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 476115, "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": "CO129-447 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [1-3]", "page_number": 479, "title": "CO129-447 - Governor Sir May - 1918 [1-3]", "content_text": "## HONG KONG GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT\n\nMadam,\n\nWith ref. to the letter from this Dept. of the 5th regarding your appl. for financial assistance from the Post Office, I am directed to inf. you that the Gov. has recommended the grant to you from `sokong fundo` of a subsistence allce. at the rate of £10 a month for 3 months commencing the 1st Jan. last.\n\n2.

D.\n\n[R. 17 JAN.\n\n63301\n\n3301\n\nπ\n\nAs regards the question of the grant of licences for export of Wolfram to the United States of America, Mr. Churchill is anxious that British firms in the Colony should not feel that any unfair discrimination is being made against them in favour of American firms. I am accordingly to suggest that, subject to Mr. Long's approval, arrangements should be made whereby the licences to be issued for export of wolfram from the Colony should be in the proportion of two-thirds in respect of British firms and one-third in respect of Foreign firms, and that in neither case should licences be granted except for reasonably early shipments.\n\nI am to add for the confidential information of Mr. Long, that Mr. Churchill's intention is that all wolfram ore shipped by British firms to this country should be divided equally between this country and France, so that in effect all Chinese wolfram ore would ultimately be divided in equal thirds between this country, France and the United States of America. He is still however of opinion, as stated in this Department's letter `CKV/C/191` of the 27th December, that as a general rule all purchases of wolfram in Hong Kong for the benefit of the French Government should be made through his Department, and that direct shipment of wolfram to French ports should not be permitted. He has, however, been requested by the Commission Française des Munitions, in London, to facilitate the export of 25 tons of wolfram, which had been sold by a firm of C.A.&.H.Nicola, in Hong Kong, to a firm in France, and that as this transaction was arranged before this Department's letter of the 27th December, was written, he considers that an exception in this particular case might properly be made.\n\nIn the circumstances the draft telegram enclosed with your letter of the 3rd January, would not appear, in its present form, to meet the situation, and Mr. Churchill would be glad if a telegram embodying the modifications above suggested were sent to the Government of Hong Kong.\n\nI am, Sir,\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nDowning Street,\nOn Quarto for Mr. Dixon's signature\n17 January, 1918.\n\nDRAFT.\n\nF.V.Bacon ESQ.,M.P.\n\nMINUTE.\n\n| Name | \n| ----\n| Mr. Dixon | \n| Mr. Ewell | /4/1/18\n| Mr. Collin | 16 \n| Mr. Grindle. | \n| Mr. Lambert. | \n| Mr. Bead. | \n| Sir G.

It seems rather strange to the writer for in the part of Japan in which I live, torture is the very stronghold of the police system. During the last two months, the torturers have been unusually busy, in some cases having to work overtime. As the methods employed are rather interesting and possibly unknown to some of your readers, I will briefly describe a case or two.\n\nCase 1. Mr. C. is an educated young man about 19 years of age. In July, he was arrested in Pyeng Yang with a letter found in his possession, which definitely involved him in the Korean Independence Movement. He was sent to jail, kept there about six weeks, given 90 blows, and then released. In September, he was again arrested and questioned with regard to the throwing of the bomb at Admiral Saite. The following is a brief summary of the methods used by the police in obtaining their evidence. The young man was seven times suspended from the ceiling by a cord tied around his wrists; his head was drawn back and tied to his hands, which had previously been securely tied behind him, on five occasions; plain water was poured into his nostrils on and off during a period of four days; for a further period of three days, soap and water were substituted for the plain water; pepper tea was the final choice of the torturers, which was so severe in its reaction that the man became comatose. All these having failed, the Japanese police now ordered the toenail to be extracted. A Korean was handed the tweezers but refused and instead pulled a piece of flesh from the inner side of the small toe. The bleeding was profuse, which seemed to satisfy the bloodthirsty appetite of the torturer.\n\nCase II. Another young man aged about 18: He was charged with having printed the Independence Newspaper, a charge he readily admitted, but he refused to give information with regard to the other members of the newspaper organization. This man was beaten unconscious three times during six days and burnt with red-hot irons. When I saw him, he seemed to be a physical wreck. A few days ago, I met a young lady who had been beaten so violently over the head that an abscess had formed in one ear. In addition to this, her knee and hip joints had been twisted almost to the point of dislocation. She had also been thoroughly spat upon, but one would hardly call that torture.\n\nSuch methods defeat their own ends, as most of the confessions made are false, with the result that more innocent people are captured, tortured, and imprisoned.\n\nUntil the damnable policy of assimilation is changed, there will always be bayonets and bullets ready to silence the cry of Mansai, and pepper tea ready for the nostrils of the young patriot who defies the laws and publishes an Independence newspaper. Is there morality in a policy which makes 17 million people hopeless, and at best offers exile or jail for Korea's noblest men and women?\n\nForced assimilation can never succeed because it is contrary to the laws of nature, whose laws are never broken, but sometimes break the one who attempts to violate them.\n\nFRANK W.

It was a condition of my Government's assent that the Chinese Government on its part should prohibit and effectively put a stop to the cultivation of the poppy throughout the Republic. It is a matter of common knowledge and one that was repeatedly brought to your notice by my predecessor, Mr. Combe, that this obligation imposed on the Chinese Government both by treaty and on moral grounds was to a very great extent ignored in all parts of this province, whether under your control or in the hands of the Southern generals. In this dereliction of duty, I regret to say that both the civil and military officials of the province were concerned. In spite of the representations of the British consul and of the local anti-opium society, only half-hearted efforts to uphold the law were made by the officials, these being far more interested in extorting money from the farmers than in uprooting before harvest the plant whose cultivation they had in the beginning encouraged.\n\nThe ordinary season for the sowing of the poppy has now arrived, and I understand that in many parts of the province the fields are being prepared for that purpose. But I am anxious to be able to report to my superiors that this season at least the province under your control and the officials, both civil and military, have been spared the disgrace of conniving in a branch of agriculture which is so generally condemned and openly infringes the solemn covenants of the Republic. I therefore take this opportunity officially to call upon you to use your utmost efforts to prevent the sowing of the poppy this autumn, strictly to charge all officials, both civil and military, to take every care that the law is not broken, and to inflict on transgressors that punishment which the law provides. Your instructions against the sowing of the poppy having been issued, should the plant hereafter be found growing in any district, it will be easy to affix the responsibility and punish the officials who have been negligent. The south of Fukien having now been evacuated by the Southern troops, the whole of the province is no doubt in your control. But I understand there are certain divisions of Northern troops which are not directly controlled by you. If this is the case, I shall be obliged if you will inform me who are the high authorities who control them. I can then request those high authorities to issue the necessary instructions to prohibit connivance in the planting of the poppy in the districts their troops occupy.\n\nI have the honour to request that your instruction may be sent by telegraph and that you will accord me an early reply to this despatch.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(No. 24.)\n\n### Enclosure 3 in No. 1\n#### Consul Coales to Mr. Alston\n\nSir,\n\nFoochow, November 15, 1920.\n\nIn continuation of my despatch No. 21 of the 5th October, 1920, on the subject of opium, I have the honour to inform you that in response to pressure brought by this consulate and the anti-opium society, the Military and Civil Governor, Li Hou-chi, has issued proclamations and instructions forbidding the planting of the poppy in this province and has caused to be drafted a set of regulations, copy and translation of which are transmitted herewith.\n\nThe time for sowing the poppy varies slightly in the northern and southern parts of the province, and from the former no reports of cultivation have yet come in. In the south, however, much land is said to be under poppy in the Amoy district. The Amoy society has made frequent appeals for action to be taken here, and two foreign representatives of the Foochow society have now gone to that port to investigate matters for themselves. His Majesty's consul at Amoy will no doubt attend to this question.\n\nBoth His Majesty's consul and society have protested to the Governor, but have no news as to what result this has had in the Foochow district, the only part from which I have received reports that the poppy has and is being sown being Hinghwa. In the Chuanchow and Yung Ch'un neighbourhoods, which are not in my district, missionaries have reported that they find the planting of poppy is very prevalent, and in the latter, the magistrate has actually issued instructions that a certain proportion of land is to be put under poppy by every farmer. I brought this matter to the notice of the Governor and delegate for Foreign Affairs, and the latter has demanded an explanation of the magistrate's action.\n\nIt should be mentioned that certain internal districts such as Yung Ch'un and Yungan are still largely in the hands of the Southerners, by whom the magistrates in office were appointed. The Governor accordingly says that he has no control over these officials who, together with the troops stationed there, are practically independent.\n\nWhile it is perhaps too early in the season to attribute blame to the Governor, the general impression is that, being, as he is, in continual financial difficulty, he is really lukewarm in opium suppression. The pay of the soldiers is in arrears and he is unlikely to be very energetic in preventing them obtaining money out of illicit opium-growing.\n\nOne cannot but fear that the Governor's regulations will generally be ignored or else be used as a mere means to extort money from the villagers. While continued pressure here and the exposure of each case whenever it becomes known may have good effect, I venture to suggest that it would be of great value if the Governor received an explicit warning from the Central Government.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nO. R. COALES\n\n### Enclosure 4 in No. 1\n#### Provisional Measures for the Prohibition of the Cultivation of the Poppy in Fukien\n\n(Translation)\n\n1. The offices of the Military and Civil Governors will issue to the local authorities for publication a joint proclamation prohibiting the cultivation of opium.\n\n2. The Taoyins of the circuits and the General Opium Prohibition Bureau also will issue similar proclamations.\n\n3. The General Opium Prohibition Bureau will forthwith draft an admonitory proclamation in the local dialect and issue it to the general inspectors of the circuits and the opium prohibition deputies of the districts, and the latter will cause it to be explained to the local people. The draft proclamation should be submitted to the Civil Governor's office and sent to the Taoyins' offices for their information.\n\n4. The magistrates, in conjunction with the opium prohibition deputies, will in advance direct the elders of villages and clans to instruct the villagers and clansmen not to cultivate the poppy, and the said elders shall give bonds that no poppy will be sown, binding them that if they fail to report any secret cultivation that they know of, they will be willing to suffer punishment. These bonds will be kept on record at the magistrates' offices and lists of them will be transmitted through the Taoyins and the Opium Prohibition Bureau to the Civil Governor's office.\n\n5. The magistrates, in conjunction with the opium prohibition deputies, will enter into bonds that they will enforce a strict prohibition, and binding them that if any secret cultivation of the poppy taking place in their districts is not discovered and eradicated, they will be willing to suffer punishment. These bonds will be sent to the Civil Governor, the Taoyins, and the Opium Prohibition Bureau for record.\n\n6. The general inspectors of the circuits and the opium prohibition deputies of the districts already appointed will be called upon by the Taoyins and the Opium Prohibition Bureau to carry out a regular inspection and enforcement of the prohibition in every district and every village and be warned against laxity. Each Taoyin will also depute an additional inspector, who will carry on secret investigations and make reports. His salary and expenses will be paid out of the opium fines collected in the districts in accordance with previous practice. When the fines are insufficient for the purpose, other means, duly sanctioned, may be employed to pay him.\n\n7. The most important business as regards cultivation is to ensure in advance that the seed is not sown.

Since then, through the honorary secretary of the local branch, the Rev. W. P. W. Williams, of Trinity College, I have been kept well informed in regard to areas under cultivation and the attitude adopted by provincial officials towards poppy cultivation.\n\nOn the 17th of last month, in a letter of which I enclose a copy (`Enclosure No. 2`), the committee of the association, learning from eyewitnesses that in certain parts of the province under northern jurisdiction the poppy was now in full bloom, requested me to invite the Civil Governor to send deputies to make a tour of inspection in company with delegates appointed by the association. I wrote to Governor Li in this sense next day, but, receiving no reply in the course of a week, called on him on the 26th March and discussed the matter personally. Reminding his Excellency of his report to the `Wai-chiao Pu`, in which he stated that, \"If so much as an inch of poppy plant appears above ground, the local officials as well as the illicit cultivators are most severely punished,\" I urged the Governor to abandon the system of fines and at once order the crops to be destroyed. No time should be lost in doing so, as the plant was now in flower and would very shortly be harvested; every day's delay would be gain to the illicit cultivator. His Excellency readily agreed to my proposal for a joint inspection by his own officers and representatives of the Anti-Opium Association. Hsien Yu was within southern jurisdiction, but the foreign affairs delegate would at once arrange for joint inspection in the neighbouring district of Fu Tien and at Fu An in the north of the province. Mr. Lo, secretary to the foreign affairs delegate, was present during this interview.\n\nNext day, the 27th March, I telephoned to the foreign delegate, Mr. Wang, the names of the representatives appointed by the Anti-Opium Association, but he replied that no written instructions had yet been received from Governor Li, and on the 29th March, Mr. Wang sent a secretary to inform me that he could not arrange for a joint inspection without the authority of the `Wai-chiao Pu`, to whom he had telegraphed. From these delays, it appeared plain that Governor Li was endeavouring to gain time, and I accordingly advised you of the situation in my telegram of the 29th March. Subsequent reports, to which I shall refer later, show that about this time great activity began to manifest itself amongst officials in the Pu Tien and Fu An districts.\n\nOn the 7th April, Mr. Wang called and handed to me what purported to be a copy of a telegram which he had received from the `Wai-chiao Pu` in answer to his enquiry with regard to a joint inspection. It is dated the 3rd April and states that, as the period of the Opium Agreement has expired, the terms regulating joint inspection no longer hold good and in any case never contemplated inspection except by officers of the two Governments concerned. It was impossible, therefore, to agree to representatives of the Anti-Opium Association officially accompanying deputies sent by Governor Li. I had the honour to inform you of this further development in my telegram of the 8th April. There the matter stands for the present.\n\nThere cannot be the slightest doubt but that the cultivation of the poppy in P'u Tien and Fu An has been encouraged by the provincial authorities, in flagrant violation of the Opium Agreement, with a view to raising revenue. Apart from the direct evidence, detailed below, of what is happening in these districts, it is well known that the provincial treasury is empty, that troops are unpaid and mutinous, and the authorities are cudgelling their brains to devise fresh forms of taxation, legitimate or otherwise.\n\nThe reports which I have received give a comprehensive history of conditions in the two districts belonging to Hing Hwa Fu, namely, P'u Tien and Hsien Yu, and in the more northern district of Fu An. Hsien Yu comes within southern jurisdiction, over which Governor Li can exercise no control; so far as northern jurisdiction is responsible, P'u Tien and Fu An alone are of immediate interest. Outside these two districts, I have not heard of any poppy planted in northern Fukien.\n\nFirst, with regard to P'u Tien, on the 13th March of this year, an English medical missionary long resident in Hinghwa reported that the poppy was growing there in large quantities, which increased as the dividing line between north and south was approached. The drug was more plentiful than in the revolution year and could be purchased in quantity with ease. More details were given in an interesting series of letters from another missionary at Hinghwa. On the 18th March, this gentleman reported that no effort was being made this year to compel farmers to destroy the poppy; the crop was being reserved for taxation; and, in order to save overhead expenses, the tax was being collected direct by Colonel Wang Hsien-ch'en of Governor Li's body-guard; it was three times heavier than last year, and all, except immediate expenses of collection, was being sent to the Governor. The thing to be noted is that the Government has sanctioned the planting of this poppy and that the Governor is very intimately connected with the affair. It was deliberately planned months ago in order to bring in revenue.\" On the 2nd April, the same correspondent records considerable activity in the district, in the shape of anxiety to collect taxes, reduction by half being offered for ready money. Taxation was sometimes levied quite indiscriminately on planters and non-planters alike. Opium was plentiful, selling at 90 cents an ounce instead of at 16 dollars, the price two years ago. On the 6th April, a further letter reports that the poppy in P'u Tien is being uprooted in great haste, but all the tax possible was being collected. The enclosed photographs, taken on the 30th March in P'u Tien and Hsien Yu, are a damning commentary on Governor Li's statement already quoted, \"If so much as an inch of poppy plant appears, &c.\"\n\nSecond, in regard to Fu An, this district is in the north-east corner of the province, and the harvesting season is a little later than in Hinghwa. On the 13th March, an English missionary reported to me that a considerable quantity of poppy had been seen growing in lower Fu An. His church council sent a representative to the Fu An magistrate to inform him of the situation, but the magistrate had taken no action. A reliable Chinese correspondent, in a more recent letter, reports that this official was suddenly summoned to Foochow, and, on his return, issued a proclamation ordering that the poppy crop be destroyed within ten days. The farmers, however, understand that it is not his intention to take any drastic measures at present; he will merely collect a tax and, as the crop will be ripe for harvest in about ten days, they believe they will be able to gather it, \"unless a foreigner comes to inspect.\"\n\nI have, &c.\n\nG.

At a public meeting of our association, held on the 13th instant, it was reported by eye-witnesses that large tracts of land in both Fuan and Siengyu are under cultivation and that in some places the poppy is now in full bloom. Taxes on it are being levied. It was the sense of the meeting that negotiations should be opened with the Governor without delay, and that he should be asked to send delegates to investigate the matter with delegates from this association. We shall be most grateful to you for your help in this business.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nW. P. W.

In evidence of this, he quotes a report by two officers who left Foochow for one of the producing districts on the 1st June and discovered not so much as a trace of a single poppy. The failure to discover the plant was not surprising, in view of the fact that the opium harvest was completed in that region during the last ten days of April; it merely shows that during the succeeding month the ground had been ploughed up for the cultivation of other crops, as was to be expected, and not that any efforts had been made to suppress cultivation during the period when cultivation was possible.\n\nThe two officers delegated by the Governor are forced to admit that a certain amount of poppy had been cultivated, but endeavour to show that this only occurred in out-of-the-way places not visited by the Governor's troops. This information I can only describe as a deliberate falsehood. Cultivation of the poppy has in many cases taken place in the immediate proximity of, in full view from, the quarters of the detachments of the Governor's troops, and in full view of roads constantly traversed by military and other officers under the Foochow authorities. Moreover, I have abundant evidence, collected from British eye-witnesses, that cultivation was general in the districts of P'u-t'ien, Fu-an, and Hui-an. As a proof of the truth of this fact, I need only say that the price of opium has fallen in that region during the last two years from 16 dollars per oz. to 0.90 dollar per oz.\n\nIn case this be considered insufficient proof, I have the honour to enclose six further photographs of poppy-fields, of which some are taken inside and some outside the walls of Hui-an city.\n\nFurthermore, the statement in the report quoted by the Governor that the district magistrate of P'u-t'ien Hsien discovered that opium was being grown, and on the 28th April requested Colonel Wang Hsien-ch'en to send an officer to the locality for the purpose of uprooting the plants is an untruth. I am unable to believe that a magistrate in whose district opium was being widely cultivated under express encouragement of the office of the Military Governor, whose chief aide-de-camp, Colonel Wang Hsien-ch'en, had been enforcing the payment of tax thereon, had to wait until the harvest was complete before he knew anything about it.\n\nI trust that your Excellency will communicate the above to the Military Governor of Fukien, and will recommend him in future to draw up his reports in a manner which will bear a greater resemblance to the truth than that which was forwarded to me in your letter under reply.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n109 \n\n## Enclosure 1 in No. 47.\n\n**Consul Coales to Mr. Clive.**\n\nFoochow, October 5, 1920.\n\nWITH reference to previous correspondence on the subject of opium, I have the honour to enclose copy of a despatch I have written to his Excellency Li Hou-chi, Military and Officiating Civil Governor of Fukien, requesting him to prohibit the sowing of the poppy during the coming autumn.\n\nIn view of the near approach of the period for sowing the poppy, the local anti-opium society, of which His Majesty's consul is ex officio chairman, decided to meet and discuss the measures to be taken to prevent a recurrence of the lamentable neglect of the past winter. It is a regrettable fact, however, that the Chinese gentry of Foochow take little interest in the anti-opium campaign, with the result that the only Chinese representatives who attended the meeting were of the official class. It was therefore not surprising that after nearly two hours' discussion the only business transacted was a resolution to write to the Governor asking him to prohibit poppy-sowing this season. An unexpected development, however, has since greatly helped the cause. A certain Mr. Chen Chia-keng, a native of Amoy, has returned to his native town and is there setting on foot various philanthropic projects. Among them, he has started an energetic anti-opium crusade, for which purpose he has subscribed large sums of money and published numerous tracts.\n\nAt the order of Mr. Chen to push the campaign, he and two other members of the new Amoy anti-opium society recently visited Foochow. An interview with Governor Li was arranged for them, and, learning of this, the Foochow society held a meeting the evening before, to which the visitors were cordially invited. At this meeting, it was proposed that representatives of the Foochow society should accompany Mr. Ch'en to see the Governor and make joint representations on behalf of the two societies. This was strenuously opposed by the Chinese members, who were undoubtedly acting in the interests of the Governor, it being plain that a deputation from Amoy alone would be less distasteful to him and less weighty than one representing, at least in name, the whole province. However, the insistence of the foreign members carried the point, and it was decided to depute two foreigners and two Chinese to go with the Amoy delegates.\n\nThe interview appears to have been very satisfactory from the point of view of the societies. Mr. Ch'en did not at all mince matters with the Governor about the occurrences of last winter, and expressed a determination to see that every infraction of the law in the Amoy district was taken up. The Governor was compelled to express his disapprobation of poppy cultivation and to give a promise that he would uphold the law and issue the strictest instructions that it should be enforced and the sowing of the poppy prevented. He is therefore definitely committed to anti-opium action this autumn, and any slackness in this respect will involve him in grave loss of prestige among the people, to whom the facts of this interview are generally known.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nO.

Mr. Scott Harston (Chairman) presided and there were also present Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Sir Ellis Kadoorie, Mr. C. Montague Ede, and Mr. E. A. M. Williams (directors), Mr. J. H. Taggart (manager and secretary), Rev. Fr. Robert, the Hon. Mr. Ho Fook, Messrs. E. M. Raymond, Fung Tat Hang, W. E. Van Eps, Ho Kom Tong, and E. A. Ram (shareholders).\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said:-As indicated in that part of the notice which has just been read by the Company's Manager, this meeting has been convened for the purpose of receiving a report of the proceedings at the second extraordinary general meeting of this Company, held on the 13th instant, in so far as regards the resolutions Nos. 3, 4 and 5 set out in the notice convening such second extraordinary general meeting, which were passed as extraordinary resolutions at that meeting, and of confirming, if thought fit, such resolutions as special resolutions. Those resolutions, as you will remember, concerned:-\n\n(1.) The division of each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 into five fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\n(2.) The subsequent increase of the Company's capital from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each to be issued as indicated in the resolution No. 4 set out in the said notice.\n\n(3.) The capitalisation of the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of its general reserve, such capitalisation to be effected upon the lines indicated in the resolution No. 5 set out in the said notice.\n\nYour directors dealt at some length with the reasons which actuated your Directors in bringing forward the three resolutions in question, and I do not consider it necessary to deal further therewith now, except to remark that at the second extraordinary general meeting in question the three resolutions above referred to were unanimously passed as extraordinary resolutions, and that in order to comply with the provisions of the Hongkong Companies Ordinance, it is necessary that such resolutions shall be confirmed as special resolutions, and I accordingly beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the first of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(3.) That each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 be divided into 5 fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\nThe Rev. Father ROBERT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the second of the said three resolutions, namely:\n\n(4.) That after the division aforesaid, the capital of the Company be increased from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each - such new shares (subject as hereinafter mentioned) to be issued at such time or times and on such terms and conditions in every respect as the Company's Board of Directors may think fit.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Ho Fook seconded the resolution, which was carried.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the third of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(5.) That it is desirable to capitalise the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of the general reserve, and accordingly that for the purpose of effecting such capitalisation such sum of $1,000,000 be distributed as bonus among the shareholders of the Company in proportion to the shares in the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 held by them respectively on the date hereinafter referred to, and that a bonus be declared accordingly. And further that the Company's Board of Directors be and they are hereby authorised to satisfy such bonus as far as possible by the distribution in manner aforesaid of 100,000 shares of $10 each credited as fully paid up among the persons who are registered as the holders of the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 on such date as the Company's Board of Directors shall decide - such last mentioned shares to rank pari passu with the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 in respect of all profits of the Company earned since the 31st December, 1920, and such distribution to be in satisfaction of the aforementioned bonus.\n\nMr. Ho KOM TONG seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, that concludes the business for which this meeting was convened, and I thank you for your attendance.

The quartan is seldom seen, it is doubtful if it occurs more than once in two hundred cases.\n\nConsidering the frequency of fever caused by the subtertian parasite it is natural to meet with some of the complications which are apt to be associated with it, especially in children. This summer and autumn I saw twelve or fifteen children of five and under who were sent to hospital because of convulsions, or coma, or other cerebral conditions and all with the characteristic history of being taken suddenly ill, of a rapidly rising temperature which became normal or nearly so after a limited period, the convulsions or the coma occurring for the most part as the temperature rose. Hyperpyrexia was noted in one of the cases and aphasia in another. Several groups of two or even three children belonging to the same family were brought to hospital at the same time not only suffering from malaria but from similar complications of malaria, e.g. coma, convulsions. The diagnosis was made not only by the finding of the malaria parasites in the blood, but by the rapid improvement in the conditions after the intramuscular injections of a solution of the hydrochlorate of quinine. In two instances two children of different families were treated in hospital twice during the year for malaria. A considerable proportion of the children who were affected this year were sent in with the diagnosis of sunstroke. All of these cases recovered.\n\nThe liability of children who suffer from malaria, to one or other of the cerebral complications is a definite one, and the importance of distinguishing between it and sunstroke is essential for the treatment of a very dangerous condition. Although examples of hyperpyrexia, coma, convulsions, aphasia, and paresis were seen none of the patients suffered from such complications as are described as syncopal, or haemorrhagic, but the so-called \"blackwater fever\" has been observed in this colony. It was reported as occurring in a child in 1914 and the condition seemed to be in every respect the same one which is often encountered in tropical Africa. Since then several other cases have been reported as having been observed in the other hospitals of the colony. It is known to occur in Indo-China, Malaya, and in Formosa and other places in the far East, but it is not nearly so common in this part of the world as it is in Africa. It is on account of its association with malaria in the opinion of many that reference has been made to it in this place, and not because it has been proved to be a purely malarial complication.\n\nThe species of mosquitoes which are known to act as carriers of malaria are Anopheles maculatus, Anopheles minimus, Anopheles sinensis and Anopheles tessellatus. Anopheles karwari is suspected to act as a carrier.\n\nOf the other mosquitoes, the stegomyia group is represented by three species: Stegomyia fasciata, Stegomyia scutellaris, and Stegomyia w. alba, the Stegomyia scutellaris being the commonest mosquito in this colony. It breeds in any receptacle containing water in the vicinity of houses and it is specially fond of breeding in the bamboos used for scaffolding or hanging clothes to dry on, or even for fences on which to train plants. So far it is not known to convey disease, nor is the Stegomyia w. alba known to be a source of danger, and it is a rare species. The Stegomyia fasciata was not easy to find at first, but a careful search for it resulted in its being found some ninety odd times in the Kowloon districts and thrice in Victoria. The larvae were found in earthenware pots containing water stored for domestic use and in wooden buckets, iron tanks, wooden barrels and generally in receptacles in which water is kept stored because of the intermittent supply to certain of the districts in Kowloon. The habits of this insect appear to be practically the same here as in other parts of the world in which it is found, even the habit of the larvae to go to the bottom of the barrel of water or other receptacle when a search is being made for them was found to hold good in our survey. It is probable therefore, that the number of occasions on which this species was captured was less than it would have been if it had been practicable to search all of the receptacles thoroughly. This species was found on three occasions only in Victoria and then in parts in which there was a continuous supply of water.\n\nThe following is a list of the names of mosquitoes and other biting flies which are known here, so far. They were identified at the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, and it is desirable to bring together the work which has been done on this subject.\n\nA List of the mosquitoes which have been found in the Colony of Hongkong:-\n\nAnopheles indiensis, Theo.\n\nAnopheles jeyporiensis, Theo.\n\nAnopheles karwari, James.\n\nAnopheles maculatus, Theo.\n\nAnopheles minimus, Theo.\n\nAnopheles tessellatus, Theo.\n\nAnopheles sinensis, Wied.\n\nAnopheles rossii, Theo.

You asked whether we had left any organised body that could carry on the work begun by the Commission. We had taken steps to form a Hong Kong Council for Combating Venereal Disease on which the Bishop of Hong Kong, the Assistant Harbour Master, the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the representative of the Y.M.C.A., Miss Pitts, Head of the Seamen's Institute, the Catholic Bishop of Hong Kong, the Chairman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, Dr.Hickling, a British woman doctor, and various others had consented to serve as members of such a voluntary organisation, and had all been called together for the purpose of forming themselves into a properly constituted body the day before the Commission left. In the morning of that day we had had our interview with the Governor.\n\nIn this interview Sir Reginald Stubbs expressed a wish that no voluntary organisation should be formed but on the other hand he would appoint a small official committee consisting of the Colonial Secretary, the Principal Civil Medical Officer and the Director of Education to take charge of propaganda material and to deal with the whole problem and that any voluntary organisation wishing to organise propaganda would receive cooperation and assistance from this body.\n\nWe have not heard whether this organisation has been appointed but we do know that no additional supplies of propaganda material...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 496918, "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": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "page_number": 164, "title": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "content_text": "## National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases\n**(INCORPORATED)**\n\nPresident: \nThe Right Hon.

Ormsby-Gore, M.P., \nParliamentary Secretary to the Colonies, \nColonial Office, \nDowning Street, S.W.1.\n\nDear Mr. Ormsby-Gore,\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 20th October, I have now had an opportunity of reporting to a special sub-committee of our Imperial and International Questions Committee on the special points arising out of the Report from the Government of Hong Kong relative to venereal disease in the Colony.\n\n1. My Committee highly appreciate the material advance that has been made by the insistence on the part of the local medical profession and the Committee of the Council that it is desirable to provide for the free diagnosis and treatment of venereal diseases, and they trust that the additional facilities recommended by the Committee will be carried into effect with as little delay as possible.\n\n2. They would especially urge that the disinfection depots and facilities for treatment for members of the Mercantile Marine should be made available at the earliest convenient moment. Such facilities are already available at Shanghai, Singapore, and Colombo, and it is felt that there is a serious lack so long as Hong Kong is not equally well equipped.\n\n3. We would be very glad if the attention of the Committee could be called to the fact that the figures quoted in the Bradford Report (page 4) are not accepted as accurate; that an enquiry into the incidence of syphilis in infants has recently been carried out by Dr. Eardley Holland, under the aegis of the Ministry of Health (\"Report on the causation of Foetal Deaths\" published by the Ministry of Health, 1922), where the incidence of syphilis in 300 cases of foetal deaths amounted to 14%.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 496922, "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": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "page_number": 168, "title": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "content_text": "# National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases.\n\n**(INCORPORATED)**\n\n## President:\n\nThe Right Hon.

Unfortunately, the telephone message I received from your Secretary the day the Committee met was to the effect that the Report must be regarded as strictly confidential. I did not, therefore, feel at liberty to do as you have now kindly suggested I might, that is, to put the special points arising out of it to the members of the Committee.\n\nI am, therefore, arranging to secure the presence of the Chairman and the two members of the Committee who would be most useful for this particular purpose, to meet here and go through these special points. After we have had this consultation, I will forward our comments to you. Under the circumstances, I will delay despatching you the personal letter I had prepared until after this meeting.\n\nI have received a very interesting letter from the Bishop of Hong Kong and understand from him that Sir Claude Severn is still over here and also that the new Medical Officer has been appointed but has not yet arrived at Hong Kong. If he is still in England, it might be rather helpful for us to meet him before he takes up his appointment.\n\nWith very many thanks for your help,\n\nYours very truly,\nBrusselle Kolls \nGeneral Secretary.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 496924, "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": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "page_number": 170, "title": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "content_text": "# PART 1\n\n## National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases (INCORPORATED)\n\n### President\nThe Right Hon.

It's a comedy of errors. The Navy is bound to expect to supply all the protection needed. The view is that a pirate is easily scared off and that a little more patrolling would be an effectual deterrent.\n\nV spoke to Mr. Kandare about our last update and apologized for the delay which was explained. Every child knows the way in which patrols comb out that white area.

After a good deal of patience and negotiation, Dr. Sun's Government agreed to co-operation. It was obvious from the start that the Chinese officials were suspicious of our motives, and there was and is a strong party against co-operation with a foreign power. However, after various delays, a start was made, and the Pearl River area was dealt with and considered clear by the end of April. The intention was then to carry on and deal with each troublesome area in turn, but every sort of obstacle began to arise, and the Canton situation dominated the whole question.

On the 9th of July I passed a regulation under the Emergency Regulations Ordinance to permit any person being flogged for preventing or endeavouring to prevent by violence or threatening violence, another person from doing anything which he might legally do. Offences against the Seditious Publications Ordinance and Offences under Section 22 of the Summary Offences Ordinance were also made punishable by flogging.

The Chinese as well as the European population warmly approve the policy of flogging, which is considered to be the only means of putting down widespread terrorism organized from Canton. Two murders had already been committed and there had been one case of bomb throwing. Moreover, it was supposed that gangs of assassins were being sent from Canton.

There was a case of stone throwing at the lecturer referred to in the third paragraph of my last despatch, and two men concerned were promptly arrested by General Leung's men.

These searches serve a most useful purpose in checking the activities of undesirables. The results have so far been negative as regards the finding of arms, but a number of persons unable to give a satisfactory account of themselves have been arrested and deported to Canton. The Reserve Company of the Volunteers were excused duty from the 18th July, half the remainder were allowed to go on the 27th July, and the force was finally demobilized on the 5th August.\n\n**LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S.

At the time when the Bureau was created, doubt was expressed in some quarters as to the wisdom of the step, on account of the supposed antecedents of some of the General's men; but the Government very wisely reposed full confidence in the General. It must be obvious that the men who are to intimidate the intimidators must be of a bold type—a quality which was so very rare among the Chinese at that time. Such men, in the present state of China, are likely to have had a somewhat adventurous existence, but this is no necessary disqualification for our purpose. Though it is necessary that our agents for this dangerous work should act for us in a clean way, they should not be required to furnish proof of having worn kid gloves from their youth up.\n\n46. We realised from the first that there must be an air of mystery about the organisation if it was to succeed; and this atmosphere has to some extent been maintained up to this moment. The public does not know exactly how the Bureau is maintained; and the bad characters do not know how many men the Bureau has, and consequently they see spies everywhere. Intimidation ceased within a week, and although it again broke out from time to time, once with bomb-throwing, it was soon put down on each occasion by the Bureau with the co-operation of the police. The Chinese, so easily terrified, have proved equally easy to reassure. The lesson is that they must not be left without support in the face of an unknown terror.\n\n47. Besides putting down intimidation, the objects of the Bureau were to protect labourers in their employment, and to find men to fill the places of strikers. It undoubtedly succeeded in instilling courage into waverers at the time, and also in supplying labour to people requiring it. It has registered and passed into employment about 2,000 men, and these men, I understand, have proved to be quite satisfactory.\n\n48. As the object of the Bureau is, in effect, to enable the workmen to secure a sort of re-insurance against the tyranny of their guild-leaders without abandoning their own guild organisation, the men on being registered for employment sign a form in which are given the name, age, place of birth, occupation, address of the person registered, and objects of the Bureau, which are (1) to assist members in earning an honest livelihood; and (2) to protect them in the pursuit of their living.\n\n49. In another and indirect way the Bureau has proved its usefulness. The work of the Bureau, as that of the Police Reserve, has certainly stimulated the Chinese regular police and the district watchmen to greater activity than they showed at first. In other words, the regular police and watchmen were shamed into greater efforts by the example of these \"ex-pirates.\"\n\n## Kai-Ching or Street Committees and Street Guards\n\n50. One very efficacious device which was adopted among the Chinese was the formation of Street Committees and Street Guards to assist the police, particularly by giving them information of the arrival of strange or undesirable people.

At the beginning of July, as the only Chinese paper then publishing was unable or unwilling to print our news, we created our own newspaper. This was the **Kung Sheung Yat Po** (**The Industrial and Commercial Daily News**), which was started largely through the instrumentality of Mr. H. K. Hung, a local solicitor, who got one of the oldest and ablest Chinese editors to write the leading articles. This editor, Mr. Pun Wai-chau, unfortunately, has since died. Mr. Hung also secured the help of two other Chinese as publisher and chief editor respectively - men who had been expelled from the Kuomintang on account of the moderation of their views. Though at first the \"Kung Sheung\" was only a small single sheet, less than half the size of the large double sheet of the \"Wah Kiu Yat Po,\" it has done good from the very day of its issue. The publication of a paper independent and fearless of Bolshevism, which daily attacked those doctrines, inspired a little courage in the \"Wah Kiu.\" The other newspapers which had suspended publication also recommenced with a daily issue of one sheet. To-day, because of the example of the \"Kung Sheung,\" all the Chinese newspapers are anti-Red, but we are carefully watching at least two of them to see that they are not converted by Russian money. This shows that the rapid spread of feeling which can so easily be induced in a mob, can also be caused in the daily journals which affect and reflect the mob psychology.\n\n## 60\nThe men who launched and are running the \"Kung Sheung Yat Po\" deserve every credit. They have been marked out for dire punishment by the Canton \"Reds.\" There is little doubt that the bomb outrage in a tramcar near the Central Market was directed against the two Kuomintang renegades. The bomb exploded in the car they were using at the stopping place where they almost invariably alighted. By the merest chance they intended to get off the car one section later, and so had not descended to the lower stage of the tramcar where the bomb was placed.\n\n## 61\nWe must all agree that there is great need for continued propaganda. Our enemy has been, and will be, unceasing in his attacks upon us, and his attempts to buy over some of our Chinese newspapers. We must keep on educating the public, and see that our case continues to be presented to them in the manner we want, whether we have actual civil disturbance at the time or not. With this object Mr. Chow Shou-son and I, with other Chinese merchants, have recently turned the \"Kung Sheung Yat Po\" into a permanent newspaper, and are running it at a considerable loss, even with the Government grant of $500 a month, as a large number of copies have been sent abroad gratis.\n\n## 62\nEnglish propaganda work is, I understand, being done by Captain A.

It is certainly unfortunate that there has been no judicial inquiry into the affair at Shanghai, for until the facts are properly established the Chinese will adhere to their view that unjustifiable violence was used.\n\nThe Note concludes with the brusque statement: \"The Chinese Government deems it absolutely necessary that the unequal treaties between China and the Powers should be revised.\" This language is hardly becoming in a Government enjoying so little respect at home or abroad.\n\nIn another vein is a second Note addressed individually to the Legations, written in the orthodox diplomatic style and distinguished by the usual platitudes relating to international amity. In this the Chinese Government observes that the treaties are out of date and reminds the Powers that encouragement was given to China during the war to hope for improvement in her international status and urges the readjustment of treaty relations on an equitable basis in satisfaction of the legitimate aspirations of the Chinese people. In the first Note may be detected the uncouth hand of an angry student, in the second the studied elegance of the flower of Young China as represented at Versailles and Washington, and behind both Notes is evident the intention to make the most of the present disorders and endeavour to rush the Powers into premature commitments in order to escape present embarrassments.\n\nUndoubtedly there is room for improvement in regard to the treaties and reason for the plea for concessions to the aspirations of the Chinese people. At the same time, the Government has the duty to protect foreign interests, and any inability to do so invalidates its claim for consideration. It should be a preliminary to any discussion of the treaties that the Chinese Government promptly puts an end to the present dangerous campaign against foreigners, which could easily be done by ... military authorities at all ...\n\nREPORTED BOMB PLOT IN SHANGHAI.\n\nPOLICE PRECAUTIONS.\n\n(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nSHANGHAI, JUNE 25. After several days of quiet public anxiety has again been aroused. Last evening the police heard of a plot on the part of the students to hire motor-cars and drive round the Settlement to-day throwing bombs. Extraordinary precautions were immediately taken. All public garages were forbidden to let cars out on hire, and special patrols were placed everywhere, so that not a Chinese could move unquestioned. The Dragon Festival thus passed off quietly.\n\nSo far as can be seen, the merchants and the shops will restart business to-morrow. The decision reached at yesterday's conference still stands, and to-night the Chinese Chamber of Commerce obtained the permission of the Municipal Council to send coolies round the streets to distribute leaflets calling on everyone to resume work.\n\nThe attitude of the labourers, the seamen, and the employees of British concerns is still uncertain. The strike has been so great a failure from the point of view of the Chinese, resulting in loss of \"face\" and money, that the agitators will assuredly concentrate all their efforts to make the boycott a success. As previously pointed out, the shipping strike alone has an economic side. The deciding question is probably whether sufficient strike funds are available.\n\nTIENTSIN, June 25.-Chang Hsueh-liang, the son of Chang Tso-lin, has arrived here from Shanghai.-Reuter.\n\n**A letter from Shanghai describing the writer's experiences on the outbreak of the disturbances in China appears on page 13.**\n\nTHE CANTON SHOOTING.\n\nCONSUL-GENERAL'S REPLY TO GOVERNOR'S NOTE.\n\nHONG KONG, June 25.-The Governor of Canton, in his Note to the Civil British Consul-General with reference to the shooting in Canton on Tuesday, in addition to stating that the British and French had started the firing, said that a Portuguese gunboat fired its big guns.

The leader on the Chinese side was the Civil Governor, Liao Chung-k'ai, who is well known as the head of the Communist party and who, as stated in my despatch No.151 of September 11th concerning the responsibility for the bomb outrage, there is good reason to believe is in receipt of a subsidy from Moscow.\n\nPage 21\n\nPage 16\n\nPage 1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 501428, "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": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "page_number": 455, "title": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "content_text": "however remained in the background, leaving it to C.

I gather from several residents here that in December last, when the Customs surplus question was prominent, the enforced withdrawal of the \"Humen\" employees was apprehended. One reason why it did not come to a head probably was that the extremist part was at that time not in full control.

Larcenies and burglaries have shown signs of increasing, and cases of non-obeyance of the Police not infrequent. The Regulations are designed to give greater control to the Police.\n\nOwing to the publication of the Canton Government of official correspondence regarding the recent bomb outrage, the feelings of the people have been roused, and labour agitators have seized the opportunity to precipitate a strike. Their attitude is that of \"going out for a win\", and the only points counted are those which will make the Foreigners \"lose face\". \"Withdrawal of Regulations\", \"apology statement\", \"Payment of pay while on strike\" are treated seriously, while points affecting the servants who have unwillingly \"struck\" are given up almost without argument.\n\nMany of the Delegates are employees, and 75% of those on strike are unwillingly so.\n\nAt one point of the negotiations a settlement was effected, and victory flags were all prepared.\n\n33 coolies and boys, on departing, left everything in the best order they could, and explained they were forced to strike.\n\nThe Delegates themselves stated that the Chinese of the Island were 'forced to strike in sympathy.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 501551, "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": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "page_number": 578, "title": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "content_text": "592\n\nA cook belonging to an outdoor Customs man called Jmeeden, was stabbed while he was making his daily purchases in the city. He was dangerously wounded but not killed, and is at present in hospital. I enclose herewith a copy of Mr. Jmeeden's report (enclosure 5).\n\nHad the extremist party still been in full power, I should not only have been unable to obtain redress for this outrage, but it would undoubtedly have been the precursor of others, as indeed was threatened at the time. However, as reported in my despatch No.165 of September last, General Li Pu-lin, at the urgent request of the Community, is now Commissioner of Police for the province of Kuangtung, with a nominee of the merchants under him as Chief of Police for Canton city. Before I could make any representations, the criminal had been arrested and taken to the Court, where I was assured that he would be duly dealt with. Precautions were also to be taken against an attempted rescue by the strike agitators.\n\nAs regards the strike itself, it was aptly summed up in a leading article, dated September 4th, in the \"North-China Daily News\", as \"never really a fight between the Shameen servants and their masters, but between the Bolshevist element in the Kuomintang and the foreign community\". The leader on the Chinese side was the Civil Governor, Li Chung-k'ai, who is well known as the head of the Communist party and who, as stated in my despatch No.151 of September 11th concerning the responsibility for the bomb outrage, there is good reason to suppose is in receipt of a subsidy from Moscow.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 501552, "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": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "page_number": 579, "title": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "content_text": "However remained in the background, leaving it to C. C. Fu to direct the proceedings. I may mention here that I learnt some time ago on good authority that the moulders' strike, which has been dragging on in Hongkong for some months, was started at the personal instigation of Liao Chung-kai.\n\nI would here refer again to the remark in my telegram No.31 of July 15th reporting the beginning of the strike, and in my despatch No.151 of September 11th concerning the bomb outrage, that a clash with the extremists at present in power must have taken place sooner or later. I gather from several residents here that in December last, when the Customs surplus question was prominent, the enforced withdrawal of the Shameen employees was apprehended. The reason why it did not come to a head probably was that the extremist party was at that time not in full control. The recent attempt to raise the surplus question once more indicates, as suggested in my despatch No.163 of October 1st on the political situation, the need for some form of anti-foreign propaganda to revive the present administration's credit.\n\nFor the rest, when Dr. Sun at one of our interviews with him was emphasising the right to strike, my French colleague and I agreed that that was a commonplace in our own countries. We pointed out however that, in the present instance, no attempt had ever been made to discuss with us such grievances, if any, as the Shameen employees might have.

These were on the planes when they arrived and were not fitted later, and it seems improbable that these machines were destined for commercial use.\n\n2.\n\nThat these or very similar aeroplanes were in fact eventually employed in active military operations may be inferred from information given by Lieutenant-Commander Leeds of H.M.S. \"Hawking\" on the Commander-in-Chief's staff, who was sent as naval observer to Chinwangtao, to a member of my staff to the effect that Monsieur Boixo, one of the senior partners of the French aeroplane importing firm of that name in Tientsin, whom he met at Chinwangtao, while the fighting was at its height, had openly boasted to him of the prowess of the French machines and had even hinted that, had it not been for the fact that the aeroplanes had been flown by French and Russian pilots who were anxious not to damage foreign property, the damage done to the wharves and the property of foreigners at that port would have been considerably greater. The actual harm done, however, was in point of fact, negligible.\n\n3.\n\nI have the honour to submit also copy of an interesting report compiled from information supplied by a Major J.B.L.

Most of the wounds inflicted by rifle fire are from spent bullets which hardly penetrate and which the wounded bite out with their teeth.\n\n5.\n\nThe Chekiang forces are exceedingly well supplied with machine-guns and Major Hunter states that one of the points which has struck him most forcibly is the number of and execution done by these weapons.\n\nThe machine-guns used by the Chekiang forces are mostly imitations, made at Kiangnan, of the Vickers.\n\nThey are in Major Hunter's opinion, excellent weapons and the troops seem to know how to handle them. The amount of jamming is small and nearly all the casualties are from machine-gun fire.\n\nThe Kiangsu troops have also some Fiat machine-guns firing clips of 50, but there do not seem to be many of these machines.\n\n6.\n\nSmall arms ammunition is produced at Lunghua, to the quantity of 60,000 rounds a day.\n\nThis quantity is augmented by supplies from Chang Tso-lin, and by the old stocks which are by now almost exhausted.\n\nA big shipment of ammunition was received a few days ago from Chang Tso-lin. Major Hunter cannot give the quantity, which is stated by other sources to be 20 million rounds.\n\nAmmunition is turned out by the Kiangnan Arsenal, which is chiefly employed on making and repairing field guns.\n\n7.\n\nAs to aviation, Lu Yung Hsiang has 8 Breguets (of which 2 are 5 seaters) and 2 Morane fighting planes, all in brand new fighting condition.\n\nThe Breguets all have bomb...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 501594, "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": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "page_number": 621, "title": "CO129-490 - Public Offices - 1925", "content_text": "615\n\n..\n\nbomb racks adjustable for different calibres, and are fitted with Lewis guns, and with machine gun mountings.

All except the 15-pounders are of local manufacture and larger than 65 pounds can be manufactured locally if wanted.\n\nA few Russian pilots were brought down from Mukden but did not work, and were sent back to Mukden, and at present the only pilots at Lunghue are Lieutenant Chu and three Cantonese pilots, trained at Saigon on French machines.\n\n-\n\n-\n\n8. On the Kiangsu side, there is one Vickers Vimy in good order and one suffering from engine trouble. There were, at the opening of hostilities, six open fuselage Vickers machines, of which four have crashed, so only two are left. Major Hunter states that the Chinese, whom he has also seen flying, seem to have no flying sense. If a machine develops any trouble in the air, the pilot loses his head, and machines are wrecked time and again under circumstances where a British pilot would have brought them safely down. The Chinese aviators are exceedingly timid in the air, and the least firing directed towards the plane will scare it off immediately.\n\n9. As to the rumours that Russians were being employed in the fighting forces, Major Hunter states that they are absolutely unfounded. There are certainly none on the Chekiang side, and he has neither seen nor heard of any on the other side. There are, however, a fair number employed in driving cars behind the front.\n\n10.

Starting with the Shameen bomb outrage and progressing through the Shameen strike to the Volunteer Arms question, which concluded with the burning of parts of Canton and the disarming of the Canton Merchant Volunteers, there was hardly a breathing space during which any extensive campaign against the pirates could be even considered, as one crisis was past and attention turned to another crisis arose in Canton.\n\n(3) \n\nIn spite of all this interruption a great deal has been done to deal with the piracy evil. General Li Fook Lum, the appointed Chinese official to deal with the pirates, has been enormously handicapped by want of men and money and especially gunboats or armed launches. An even greater handicap is the tremendous jealousy between all the various provincial troops and their commanders. All districts are parcelled out between these military commanders who extort what is possible out of their areas. They are much too busy doing this to have time or inclination to bother about pirates who do not damage their own pockets and in many cases no doubt contribute to their fortunes as the price of being left alone. Consequently if any other General shows signs of moving or taking action in their personal area they at once suspect him of designs on their posts and put every possible obstacle in his way, going as far as fighting him if they feel strong enough. There is no doubt whatever that much of the piratical trouble is due to their soldiers who pirate one day and resume soldiering the next.

In March last conversations were opened with the Chinese Officials with a view to getting their agreement to the British Naval Forces co-operating with their appointed representative against the pirates. After a good deal of patience and negotiation Dr. Sun's Government agreed to co-operation. It was obvious from the start that the Chinese Officials were suspicious of our motives and there was and is a strong party against co-operation with a foreign power. However, after various delays a start was made and the Pearl River area was dealt with and considered clear by the end of April. The intention was then to carry on and deal with each troublesome area in turn, but every sort of obstacle began to arise and the Canton situation dominated the whole question. The British Naval Forces were practically tied hand and foot to Canton and the defence of the great interests there.

The latest information which I have concerning him is contained in a despatch from Mr. G.A. Combe, His Majesty's Consul General at Yunnan-fu, dated the 12th June, and addressed by him to His Majesty's Minister at Peking. It appears that a representative of Marshal Tang Chi-yao returned recently from Loyang in Honan province with a message from Marshal Wu P'ei-fu requesting Yunnan to cooperate against the Cantonese Soviet. Marshal Tang was, it seems, agreeable to cooperating, but had not decided whether he should invade Kuang-tung or merely preserve a benevolent neutrality. He put out in June at Yunnanfu a proclamation against Bolshevism, because he learned that four or five Cantonese Bolshevists had arrived in the province; and the issue of this proclamation synchronised with a rumour that Marshal Tang and Marshal Wu had come to terms. Anyway, the province of Yunnan is for the time being an independent regional group.\n\n18.\n\n35\n\nI have made this brief historical recapitulation, because I desire to emphasize the fact that the policy of maintaining the integrity of China and the safeguarding of British interests in China by means of diplomatic action at Peking has become utterly impossible owing to the force of circumstances, and because I earnestly hope that His Majesty's Government will, in view of the altered situation, reconsider the main lines upon which British policy in China should hereafter be framed.\n\n19.\n\nThe outstanding fact to my mind is that, as things now are in China, there could hardly be a worse centre from which to direct British diplomacy in the Eighteen Provinces than Peking.

The first step would be to ascertain the identity of the aeroplane and the circumstances in which the bomb dropping occurred because until this was known it would be impossible to decide on the appropriate action.\n\n(ii) If it were established that the bomb dropping was 'an intentional act authorised by the Cantonese air commander', so that it must be regarded as the official action of the Canton Government, we should (subject to the point about the relations of the Cantonese authorities to the central government, which I will mention later) be entitled to carry out reprisals against the Cantonese air base or to take other hostile measures against Canton. Such action would however amount to treating as a hostile act without further enquiry something which we should be entitled so to treat, but need not necessarily do so; it would in fact amount to the opening of hostilities against Canton and would place us in a position of belligerency.

I am informed that no regulations have been made of the kind contemplated in Section 4 of the Ordinance.\n\nMy own tentative reply to the two questions would be:-\n\n(a)\n(b)\n\nYes, the aircraft can be shot down, because otherwise it might return and drop a second bomb.

It is sound and good, though whether it makes for initiative is open to doubt. The great fault with the system appears to be that the future officer will leave the school well drilled but without practice in drilling his men.\n\nAfter six months with the rifle the cadets are instructed in the machine gun, though owing to the training weapons having been requisitioned for the front I was unable to see the guns or the system.\n\nI was shown the result of five weeks' infantry training in a squad of cadets, who performed open order drill with precision and smartness, that is an innovation in South China, and equalled the discipline of the metropolitan soldiers of the Ch general.\n\nI was unable to see any classroom instruction, though it is evident that the students are taught tactics in class as well as Canton citizenship, as maps and black-boards were in evidence, while the classrooms were well fitted out with desk and benches.\n\nAccommodation.-The students do not eat and sleep in the same room, while wash houses are also provided. Each student has a trestle bed on which his blankets are neatly rolled, while his pack and haversack are kept on a shelf, and his Japanese rifle with brass sight protector has an arm rack provided for it.\n\nThe rooms are too crowded to suit European ideas of hygiene, but the general comfort of the school was a great advance on any such establishment that I have seen in China.\n\nThe instructors have a special mess with table-cloths provided, while the food appears ample and of good quality.\n\nDress.

I saw about 600 students at the two branches of the school, but in peace time the numbers must be greater, probably 1,000.\n\nI was unable to procure the numbers by provinces in the school, but I should imagine the southern students to be in the minority. On looking at the students' letter rack, I noticed several letters with the Federated Malay States stamps on them. I was informed that several of the students came from Singapore and the Straits Settlements. It would be interesting to know if these students enrol in the Chinese provincial armies or whether they return to the Malay States with their military knowledge as an asset for the hoped-for colonial insurrections fostered by the Soviet.\n\nThe average age of the cadets, I was informed, is 19.\n\nConclusion. After my visit I came to the conclusion that the school as now carried on is distinctly a military asset for the master that owns it; its results show that discipline and cohesion can be inculcated into Chinese southern armies, and that the old idea of the general with the greatest numbers winning will be dissipated by the students in the future; that it is doubtful if the Kuomintang's national aspirations will be benefited by the school if the students from other provinces are drafted into the local army for purely provincial aggrandisements; that as a means of propaganda the school, if used as intended, might have a great influence in the future of China.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nG.

It was there that foreign trade was solely conducted up to the first, so-called \"opium,\" war of Great Britain against China, and for that reason it bore the first brunt of the attacks made by the foreign aggressor. The last occasion, however, on which foreign force was felt at Canton was in 1860, and the sharp lesson of the Boxer rebellion and its fruits of armed foreign intervention passed unscathed over the heads of the Cantonese.\n\n19\n\nThe first revolutionary efforts were directed against the Manchus, and after one abortive attempt in 1910, steps were taken to seduce the soldiers from their allegiance and the revolution of 1911 was successful in overthrowing that dynasty. From that date until after the death of President Yuan Shih-kai, Canton enjoyed comparative peace, but from 1917 onwards it has, together with the rest of China, been a prey to various military factions and their leaders, who have treated the town in the manner of a feudal possession and enriched themselves by preying upon the inhabitants. Sometimes it was a Kwangsi invader who was in power, sometimes the Kuomintang, under \"President\" Sun or his chief lieutenant, Chan Kwing-ming. On the two latter falling out \"President\" Sun was driven from Canton, but returned in January 1923 with the aid of Yunnanese, Kwangsi, and other mercenary troops whom he had called in to his aid. He also possessed a certain number of provincial (i.e., Cantonese) troops, who formed a separate unit.\n\nTo glance back again, it will be remembered that on the inauguration of \"President\" Sun in Canton in 1921, an unfortunate proclamation was issued by the Hong Kong Government (for which they later made an apology) warning all in that colony not to have anything to do with an unrecognised Government. The ill-chosen language of this proclamation was never forgiven by the Canton authorities, and when trouble arose with the seamen in Hong Kong in January 1922, they lent them their tacit support, with the result that a movement, originally purely industrial and inherently capable of settlement, developed into an ugly political situation whereby a general strike of all Chinese took place which threatened the life of the colony. On this occasion, however, owing to the firm attitude and goodwill displayed by Chan Kwing-ming as Governor, no untoward incident occurred as was feared, at Canton.\n\nOn Dr. Sun's return to Canton (as described above) he at first made overtures to various of the Powers with a view to obtaining some measure of recognition for his Government. These having failed owing to the existence of the Government in Peking, which the Powers formally recognised as the Government of China, Dr. Sun felt himself thwarted, and very soon fell into the hands of a small group of extremists and no longer concealed his anti-foreign, and particularly anti-British, bias. A claim renewed by the Southern Government for a share of the customs \"surplus\" led to a threat to seize the customs at Canton, which brought about a naval demonstration on the part of the Powers at Canton. This solidarity surprised the Chinese authorities and led to the abandonment of the plan, but the action taken again acerbated Dr. Sun and his entourage, already antagonised by the recognition accorded by the Powers to a notoriously corrupt and militaristic Government in Peking, with very ineffectual control over the provinces.\n\nIt was about this time that a Soviet consulate was opened at Canton, and from this date the dissemination of advanced political theories and anti-foreign symptoms among students and officials became more manifest. There were several strikes at mission schools (both French and British) owing to the refusal of the school authorities to countenance the formation of political societies among the students, and an agitation against the foreign concessions drew to a climax after the bomb outrage on the 21st June, 1924, when an attempt was made to assassinate the Governor of Indo-China. Proposed new pass regulations for Chinese entering the concession after 10 P.M., and new traffic regulations, led to a lightning strike of all Chinese employed on the island, without any previous protest or demand for their modification having been presented to the Concession authorities.\n\nWhen the strike was eventually settled, after five weeks, the only points won by the strikers were certain small emendations in the traffic regulations and the extension of the pass regulations to foreigners and Chinese alike. The old police (who had left their posts) were dismissed and new ones engaged. The political character of the strike may be illustrated by the fact that at the conferences held the representatives of the \"strikers\" present were all outside parties and not employees on the island at all. These had no demands to make, and came back without any previous stipulations. It was, however, recommended to employers to pay half wages for the period of the strike, inasmuch as they had been forced to leave their employment by intimidation.\n\nThe real issue was, of course, the measure of control exercised by the foreign municipal authorities, and alleged racial discrimination. During the course of negotiations, most of the Chinese officials showed themselves distinctly uncompromising, and it was not until the personal influence of Dr. Sun himself was enlisted that a settlement was finally secured. Meanwhile, a movement was on foot among the Chinese merchants for the expulsion of the non-Cantonese forces, together with the more extreme elements of the Kuomintang from Canton, and their eagerness to place their property in security.\n\n[14166]\n\n71\n\nD 2\n\n504", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-495 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 505272, "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": "CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926", "page_number": 538, "title": "CO129-496 - Public Offices - 1926", "content_text": "24. A memorandum by Mr. Pratt on the position of the Customs Administration in regard to the new taxation proposals is annexed.*\n\n25. The possibility of taking other measures at Canton short of a blockade in the event of the Cantonese Government having failed to carry out their assurances on the 10th October was carefully considered by the Departments concerned at a meeting on the 4th October, and they had in particular under examination the proposal of the Commodore at Hong Kong, which was to contain Chinese cargo junks in a state of inactivity under threat of seizure, an essential feature of his plan being that Shameen should not be evacuated. This plan was found to be open to the following grave objections:\n\n(a) No guarantee could be given by the naval authorities that the military forces which would have to be sent to garrison Shameen could in case of necessity be safely withdrawn.\n\n(b) The proposal entailed in the last resort a willingness to bomb or bombard Canton, i.e., as the only possible answer to a Cantonese attack on the Shameen garrison.\n\n(c) In default of willingness to resort to this measure the plan was in the nature of bluff.\n\n(d) There was no sufficient guarantee that the plan would prove efficacious.\n\n26. It was therefore the unanimous opinion of the naval and military experts that, given the non-evacuation of Shameen as an essential premise, no effective action could be taken on the 11th October beyond the preventive measures against pickets which had already been adopted, together with a show of force in Canton harbour. It was decided, therefore, that unless the Governor or Mr. Brenan could suggest any fresh measures it would be necessary to leave Mr. Brenan to continue the efforts he had already made to get the boycott removed on whatever lines he thought best, subject to the instructions he had already received. A telegram to this effect was sent to Sir R. Macleay and to Sir C. Clementi on the 7th October.\n\n27. On the 9th October Mr. Brenan reported that the Minister for Foreign Affairs had communicated to all the foreign consuls the text of a mandate introducing the new taxes. According to the terms of this mandate the internal taxes were to be levied on consumption or production of articles of trade between the two provinces of Kwangtung and Kwangsi on the one hand and other provinces of China and foreign countries on the other. The rate was to be half the maritime or native customs tariff on general articles and the full tariff on articles of luxury such as silk, toilet articles, fur and leather articles, decorations, precious stones, &c. Tobacco, imported wines, kerosene, and gasoline, being subject to other special taxes, were to be exempt from this new taxation. The taxes were to be collected at or near the customs barrier. The mandate was to come into effect on the 11th October.\n\n28. The note transmitting this mandate emphasised that the new taxes were internal taxes and that the Canton Government had no intention of interfering with the maritime customs, though friction would be avoided if the Customs would co-operate in the collection of the new taxes by the fiscal authorities appointed by the new Government.\n\n29. Mr. Brenan did not send any written acknowledgment to this note, but told the Minister for Foreign Affairs that the taxes were a clear violation of existing treaties, and that His Majesty's Government were waiting to see the extent to which the boycott would be removed before indicating their attitude in the matter.\n\n30. On the instructions of the Acting Inspector-General of Customs at Peking, the Commissioner of Customs informed the Cantonese Government that the customs administration would be unable to assist in the collection of the new taxes without the acquiescence of the Powers.\n\n31. Mr. Brenan reported at the same time that there had been no recent change in the boycott situation beyond a slight slackening in picket activity. Anti-British agitation still continued; but the Minister for Foreign Affairs had emphatically assured him that the boycott would be publicly declared at an end at noon on the 10th October. Mr. Chen also promised to deal with any cases of intimidation of British employees which might be brought to his notice.\n\n32. The question of the new taxation was discussed by the diplomatic body in Peking on the 7th and 8th October. Sir R. Macleay reported that the unanimous view of his colleagues was that the taxes were a clear violation of treaties and that the proposed action of the Cantonese Government raised very grave issues. It was thought that tacit acquiescence might lead to eventual provincial or regional tariff autonomy, and that separate negotiations with the Canton Government with the object of regularising the situation would amount in practice to the recognition of their independence. They considered that a joint protest should be lodged, but Sir R. Macleay made it clear that, in view of his instructions, he could not join in any such protest without further reference to his Government. A draft protest for presentation to the Peking Government was, however, prepared and telegraphed by the foreign representatives to their Governments. In the course of the discussion upon this draft, it became clear that the Japanese Government would oppose any attempt to identify the new taxation with the Washington surtaxes, the true, if unavowed, reason for their objection being that such identification would imply a readiness on the part of the Powers to grant the Washington surtaxes unconditionally. This would, of course, render impossible the devotion of the proceeds to debt consolidation, a point to which the Japanese attach the highest importance.\n\n33. Some of the foreign representatives decided to protest individually through their consuls at Canton without waiting for an agreement upon a joint protest.\n\n34. On the 13th October Mr. Brenan sent two telegrams, in which he reviewed the situation up to that date. The substance of these telegrams is as follows:\n\n(1) The promised declaration of the termination of the boycott and blockade was issued on the 10th October, not by the Canton Government itself, but by the Strike Committee and the Central Executive Committee of the Kuo Min-tang. The declaration, however, added that an intensive anti-imperialist struggle would be continued on a national scale until the independence of China was completely secured.\n\n(2) Pickets were no longer functioning, and the strike examination shed had been dismantled. Chinese were coming back to Shameen in large numbers, and British firms were getting back most of their native staffs. No cases of intimidation had been reported.\n\n(3) The strike and blockade were over, but it was still uncertain to what extent the agitation against British trade would prove effective. Chinese merchants were hesitating to resume shipment to Hong Kong, but it was hoped that a start would soon be made.\n\n(4) The Canton Government had opened a tax office near the Customs and were levying the 2½ per cent. duty. They were not yet collecting the 5 per cent. duty, owing to technical difficulties.\n\n(5) No protests against the taxation had yet been made by the foreign consuls. In fact, the consular body, the foreign chambers of commerce, and the Commissioner of Customs were all of the opinion that the tax, if levied at all, should be collected by the Customs, otherwise the Government would set up an organisation of their own composed of officials who would merely be strike pickets in disguise.\n\n(6) His own opinion was that, if the Powers protested against the taxes without backing their protest up by force, they would merely be encouraging the establishment of a separate customs organisation, and this would jeopardise the existence of the maritime customs organisation.\n\n35. It remains to record two démarches made by the Peking Government in regard to the relations between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Canton. Early in August, the Peking Government became alarmed at the possibility that His Majesty's Government might recognise the Canton Government, and made an official enquiry as to our intentions. They were informed that no question had arisen of recognising the Canton Administration as other than the Provincial Government of Kwangtung. A few days later, a note was received from the Chinese Government, expressing the hope that no funds would be provided directly or indirectly to the Canton Administration so as to enable them to prolong the struggle against the Central Government and thus delay the reunification of China. His Majesty's Government replied that they had no intention of furnishing Canton with funds for military purposes, but that they must be guided by the circumstances of the situation as to the means which could best be adopted for a settlement of the anti-British boycott in South China.\n\nW.

The policy outlined in the Air Ministry notes, to which reference is made in paragraph 6 above, shows that these may become necessary. Lighter-than-air craft, the development of which is foreshadowed, will, I understand, require nearly as much ground space for mooring, &c., as it is proposed in this scheme to reserve for landplanes. Moreover, there is no other ground in the Colony or in the New Territory which offers even moderately good facilities for conversion into an aerodrome; and, if the Kai Tak ground is lost, no other could replace it.\n\n11. Pending further experience of local flying conditions, and indications as to the best policy to pursue, I consider it advisable to acquire more than the bare minimum of ground necessary to deal with the comparatively modest requirements of the present day. It is for these reasons that I put forward a suggestion for the acquisition of the whole of the Kai Tak reclamation area (coloured buff on the plan). Much of the work of reclamation has yet to be done, but it is, in my view, necessary to regain complete control of the whole area, retaining the power to carry out further reclamation as circumstances may demand.\n\n12. The time for negotiating with the Kai Tak Company is not inopportune. The Company is in some financial difficulties, and would probably welcome a release from its liabilities and responsibility. The Canton boycott and its effect upon Hong Kong have made matters no easier for the Company, while the fall in land values, resulting in some degree from the fact that building progress seems now to have satisfied the demand, makes it very improbable that the Company can hope for much success in the reasonably near future by the continuation of the original programme of reclamation and development.\n\n13. On the other hand, I confess to a complete faith in the future of the Colony, and in the expanding development of the Kowloon Peninsula. In due time land on the reclamation will be in demand, and such areas as experience may by then have proved unnecessary for the purposes of the aerodrome will be readily disposed of. The presence of the aerodrome itself, and the consequent developments required in the vicinity, will also tend to an appreciation of land values throughout the district.\n\n14. The sum required for putting this suggestion into effect is a large one, and beyond the immediately available resources of the Colony. But the scheme for acquiring the Kai Tak property fully justifies the provision of the necessary funds by means of a loan; and the legalisation by Ordinance of the issue of Treasury Bills in accordance with the terms of your Circular despatch of the 28th June, 1922, as the first step necessary, will be undertaken without delay.\n\n13. The arguments in the despatch of Sir R. E. Stubbs, to which you refer, apply to the development of the Air Force equally with other branches of the Colony's defence and I hold out no hope whatever of voluntary assistance from private firms in support of further expenditure for the Garrison or the Air Force. The suggestion that British concessions in China should contribute to expenditure incurred in Hong Kong, on the ground that the Garrison is utilised wherever protection is called for, is put forward very tentatively; and I agree with Sir R. E. Stubbs in his view that it is at present no more than a line of thought which it may be worth while to pursue further. It is, however, a matter which would naturally be investigated by the Foreign Office through His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking, and this Government can hardly at this stage venture to reduce the general suggestion to any more definite form.\n\n16. The plan* (enclosure No. 2) supplies the detail required to complete this despatch; and it will be seen that the expenditure I suggest involves an estimated total of 1,738,000 dollars. Of this sum, 738,000 dollars is the estimated cost of completing the entire reclamation (a work which would be undertaken by the Government at its own choice of time) and 1 million dollars it is estimated would be sufficient to buy out the Kai Tak Company.\n\n17. I have, therefore, the honour to request authority to negotiate with the Kai Tak Company for the purchase of their rights over the 170 acres which appear on the plan coloured buff at the estimated cost of 1 million dollars; and to finance this operation by the issue in due course of Treasury Bonds.\n\n18.\n\nThis despatch was considered in draft at a meeting of the Hong Kong General Defence Committee held on the 17th February, and the Committee unanimously concurs in the despatch.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nC.

To observe the Frontier and deal, by machine gun or bomb, with any attacks on our pickets.\n\n(b) To pursue and attack any marauding parties.\n\n(c) To pursue and attack any pirates.\n\n(d) In the event of civil disturbances, to observe and report any large collection of natives, and, if necessary, to disperse them with bombs of mild tear gas.\n\n(e.) Transporting a Police Officer or other official to outlying islands, e.g., Lantao, at high speed.\n\n(f.) Keeping a good look out for any particular ship.\n\n(g.) Exercise moral effect.\n\n2. Type of machines required.\n\nIn view of the nature of the country, seaplanes are advisable.\n\nIt is thought that the most suitable machine would be two-seaters, 200 to 250 h.p., fitted to carry light bombs, 2 machine guns (one fixed and one Lewis gun), and preferably W/T; the latter would render a shore set desirable also. (These machines would be of smaller dimensions and performance than the Fairey 111D seaplanes carried by H.M.S. \"Hermes.\") \n\n3. Numbers required.\n\nFour machines are suggested.\n\nThis number would allow for one, and probably two, being always ready for service.\n\n4. Base.\n\nThe Kai Tak reclamation would be very suitable. Requirements would be-\n\nHangar for four machines.\n\nWorkshop.\n\n2-ton crane on seawall.\n\nWooden floats moored to seawall, under crane.\n\n(The combination of crane and floats would render a slipway unnecessary.)\n\n5.

Daily News, of last Wednesday, which states:- \n\nFurther interesting details of some of the atrocities committed against foreigners, principally missionaries, in Foochow by bandit soldiers who carried the emblem of the 17th Army, and an enraged mob, were brought to Shanghai yesterday by Mrs. H. D. Matthews, whose husband is superintendent of the Church Missionary Society Hospital. Mrs. Matthews' arrival yesterday evening was on the N.-C. S. Yusong.\n\nMrs. Matthews herself had her rings seized from her fingers by soldiers while threatened by others who pointed their knives at her, as much as to say, \"If you don't give us the rings, your fingers will be cut off.\" Mrs. Matthews was spared the personal violence to which several of the missionary women were subjected, but both her and her daughter's pockets were rifled and their house looted by the soldiers.\n\n### Tribute to Personal Servants. \n\nMrs. Matthews paid great tribute to her own personal servants and to the hospital servants, saying, \"they were simply wonderful to the foreigners.\" At the hospital, the local attendants dressed in uniforms of soldiers who had been treated there and stood guard outside, passing themselves off as part of the rioting army who were supposed to be doing guard duty on the premises. In this manner, they protected the buildings from being looted. By various pretexts, her personal servants managed to save many of the family's personal belongings, although much bedding and clothing were taken in the initial raid.\n\nMrs. Matthews credited her servants with great heroism in accomplishing a feat which the ordinary Chinese would not dare to think of. It was either the first or second night of the riot that the servants overcame one of the soldiers who was bent on looting the premises. They took him to the police station and he was turned over to the military to be summarily executed the next morning.\n\n### Lies About The Spanish Nuns. \n\nAccording to Mrs. Matthews, the trouble was precipitated through a ruse which had been prepared by the agitators and directed against the nuns in the Spanish Mission. These nuns' duty in part was to save infants from death by exposure or starvation. The agitators secured the bodies of about 25 dead infants and attributed their death to the Catholic missionaries boiling them. The mob became excited and in a short while were in sufficient mass to attack the nuns and priests.\n\n### Women And Children Attacked. \n\nAfter despoiling the Catholic Mission premises, the soldiers turned their attention to several other mission premises, including the Anglo-Chinese Girl's School, the Church Mission Society Hospital (Women's Division), and the Methodist Episcopal compound. It seemed as if in most cases the soldiers and mob attacked the women and children rather than the men. At the Anglo-Chinese Girls' School, the soldiers attacked a foreign school teacher and with their knives cut the women's outer garments to pieces, then seizing and tearing most of the remaining clothing from their bodies. The women ran screaming with the bandits in pursuit. They were finally rescued by friendly soldiers and escorted to safety amid the curses and epithets of the mob.\n\nIt was in her own home that Mrs. Matthews suffered indignities when she was forced to take her rings from her fingers and had to witness ruffians searching the pockets of her 13-year-old daughter. The soldiers then took other clothing from the beds. They became alarmed, it seemed to Mrs. Matthews, at the approach of other soldiers and left before they had completed their villainous work. The local police made very real efforts on their behalf, and both she and her daughter were taken to the police station and protected until they could go to the British Consulate.\n\n### Mr. Matthews Attacked. \n\nMr. Matthews returned to his home several days later and someone aware of his presence threw a miniature bomb over the fence which, as it exploded, struck a Chinese child. Mr. Matthews had also been attacked and stabbed slightly during one of the various melees. In deference to Chinese Christians, he has remained away from his home and the hospital since that time, a policy which all missionaries are now pursuing.\n\nA Chinese hospital, the head of which is a Chinese Christian doctor, was also looted, probably because the head did not subscribe to the theory of the infants' murder by the nuns.\n\nPage 150\nPage 151", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-499-2 Canton situation- governor's despatches 15-1-1927 - 4-2-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 507460, "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": "CO129-500-2 Canton situation- governor's despatches 30-6-1927 - 8-11-1927", "page_number": 28, "title": "CO129-500-2 Canton situation- governor's despatches 30-6-1927 - 8-11-1927", "content_text": "## GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONGKONG.\n\n10th August, 1927.\n\n**(Secret.)**\n\nSir,\n\nThe tension at Canton appears to be increasing, though the threatened storm has not yet broken.

Piracy by means of electrically-controlled mines laid in the channels of the West River delta is the latest innovation of Chinese desperadoes. One enterprising gang actually stated, in a letter of intimidation received by a local Chinese steam-ship company, that it employed a graduate of the School of Submarine Mining.

Beyond the fact that General Li's government feels anything but secure in its hold on Kuangtung and Kuangsi, all is guesswork; but the following conjecture as to the currents converging in Canton may be hazarded.\n\nGeneral Li Chai-sum is a Kuanghsi man and would like to see the Liang Kuang provinces governed by natives of that territory to the exclusion of the non-Cantonese element represented by Marshal Chiang Kai-shek and his subordinates.

One factor in the situation is still uncertain, which concerns foreign interests perhaps more than any other; the attitude of the officials in power towards the labour unions. These were not slow to take advantage of the uncertainty of the situation. The coup took place on the 17th November and on the 18th November the Labour Department of the Municipal Kuomintang summoned a meeting of representatives of labour unions which, after denouncing Wong Shiu-hung, proceeded to pass the following resolutions: that the Party Purification movement (initiated by Li Chai-sum on April 15th) should be opposed; that the prisoners of April 15th should be released; that the Northern Expedition should be pressed; that Kwangtung should be made a workers' paradise; and that Imperialism should be destroyed. Following the meeting a large crowd, waving red flags, attacked the premises of the Labour Representatives society and attempted to eject the Reorganization Committee of that Union. They were dispersed by the police with a loss of two killed and four wounded. On November 19th a bomb was thrown into the headquarters of the Strike Committee, but all attempts by these disorderly elements to create a disturbance have so far been suppressed by the police. It is, however, stated that the prisoners of the April coup have been released.\n\n7.

The whole of the canal front at Shameen, including the two bridges, is at present protected by barbed wire along its whole length, and the French have two field guns in their concession.\n\nThere are five British gunboats now stationed at Shameen. Three of these are the Insect class (each carrying two 6-inch guns and one 3-inch gun). The remaining two are the *Moorhen* and *Robin*, ships of a smaller class, drawing only two feet of water. The speed of the latter is between seven and eight knots.\n\n## Routes of Evacuation\n\n6. The main communication between Hong Kong and Canton is by the Canton River. This is heavily fortified, and divided for defence into three sections. The Lower Section comprises Sha-Kek, Tai-Kok-Tao, and Pon-chao. The Centre Section comprises A-neung hoi, Sheng-wang-t'ong, and Fa-wang-tong. The Upper Section comprises Danes Island, Yu-chu, and Sha-lou. The number of guns is:\n\n| Section | 24 cm | 21 cm | 15 cm | 13 cm | Other |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Lower Section | 6 | 13 | 2 | 3 | 10 |\n| Centre Section | | | | | 23 |\n| Upper Section | 5 | 6 | 6 | | |\n\nThe armament is known to be very antiquated, and we have no information as to the amount of ammunition that may be available or as to the proficiency of the gun crews. We know, however, that in August last the forts on Danes Island carried out some target practice, and we have reason to believe that last year the Canton Government were trying to obtain ammunition and contact mines, in addition to aircraft, from abroad. Even if the crews are comparatively untrained and the ammunition is limited, the forts must constitute a certain menace to passing ships in view of the narrowness of the river.\n\nAs already stated in our previous report (`Paper No. C.O.S. 60`), communication is possible at any time of the year with Shameen by routes (such as Moneypenny Creek) which avoid the defended channel.\n\nWe are informed that the three gunboats of the Insect class draw too much water to be able to negotiate these alternative routes at the present time of the year. Special arrangements would, therefore, be necessary for their early withdrawal by the main channel. The smaller gunboats and sampans, which would have to be used in finally evacuating the concession, would have no navigational difficulty in negotiating these creeks. These routes, however, are narrow in some parts and pass through a densely populated district, though in the past the inhabitants have been well disposed towards us. All risk of interference with the final evacuation of the concession cannot, therefore, be precluded. We feel bound to warn the Committee of Imperial Defence of this risk.\n\n## Possibility of Defending the Concession\n\n7. Rear-Admiral Stirling confirmed the views of the local authorities at Hong Kong, which we accepted in our last report, that it should be possible to defend Shameen against the mob with the naval and military resources available at Hong Kong, but he suggested the advisability not only of withdrawing Europeans now residing outside the concession to the Island of Shameen, but also of evacuating all non-combatants at an early stage. He informed us that such persons could be evacuated down the main stream to a point clear of danger from the shore within five hours. We concur in this view, and consider that the man on the spot should be left to decide when indications of impending mob violence render evacuation of non-combatants advisable.\n\nThe evidence of Rear-Admiral Stirling also confirmed our previously expressed view that we cannot expect, with or without the co-operation of the French, to hold out indefinitely against serious attack by the Cantonese troops with the forces likely to be available for the defence of Shameen. It has, however, inclined us to the opinion that offensive action by aircraft, or even the threat of it, which we deal with in more detail below, might well have the result of preventing organised attack on the concessions.\n\n## Bombing and Blockade of Canton\n\n8. In our previous Report we stated that, in our opinion, the threat which the Acting Consul-General, Canton, proposed to make to the local Chinese General, if translated into action, would be calculated to precipitate hostilities and might hasten the crisis at Shanghai. The latest decision of His Majesty's Government, quoted in paragraph 1 of this Report, alters the position.\n\n9. We were particularly impressed by the evidence of Rear-Admiral Stirling on the susceptibility of the Chinese to threats, particularly if these are backed up by evidence of strength. To illustrate this he informed us that in August last certain strike pickets holding British wharves at Canton were told that, if they did not evacuate them at once, we would sink their strike picket boats. The next morning it was found that the pickets had gone, the picket boats had been removed to a point some 10 miles down the river, an enclosure had been roped in round the wharves, and police were stationed to keep the strike pickets out. Since then neither the pickets nor the boats have returned.\n\n10. Rear-Admiral Stirling held the view that the threat to bomb or shell vital points in Canton, and finally to blockade the city, particularly if followed at once by some demonstration of force (e.g., the appearance of aircraft), would have a considerable deterrent effect on the Cantonese, and that the effect of actual bombing or shelling would in all probability be enormous. He also suggested action by aircraft to cover an evacuation if and when this should prove necessary.\n\n11. In view of this decided expression of opinion by an officer possessing considerable local knowledge, we are now disposed to agree to a threat being conveyed by the Consul-General to the Chinese General in Command of the forces at Canton. We suggest, however, that the threat should be couched in vague though decided terms, no actual mention being made of bombing by aircraft or shelling. In order that the greatest possible effect should be derived from the conveyance of this threat to the Chinese, we recommend that discretion should be given to the Acting Consul-General in concert with the Commodore at Hong Kong to arrange for a demonstration over Canton of as many British aircraft as possible at the moment that the communication is being made.\n\n12. In the opinion of Rear-Admiral Stirling a blockade of Canton would have a considerable effect on the Cantonese Government. We therefore recommend that a blockade should be included in the measures to be approved if an attack on Shameen takes place. In this connection we note from a recent telegram that the French are also prepared to undertake such a measure.\n\n## Use of Aircraft\n\n13. The naval aircraft at present available at Hong Kong can reach Canton, but the range and carrying capacity will be considerably curtailed if the use of a land aerodrome is not permitted.\n\nHitherto, aircraft has not been permitted to operate from the Kowloon Aerodrome, which is ready for use, in view of possible objections that might be taken by other signatories to the Washington Agreement. We would suggest, however, that as the use of aircraft is now contemplated only against the Chinese and not in connection with the coast defences, this restriction should be removed. The amount of air pressure that could be brought to bear on Canton would be greatly increased if some of the aircraft at present provided with floats were refitted with land under-carriages.\n\n177", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-502-6 China- general situation 7-1-1927 - 3-3-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 509240, "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": "CO129-502-6 China- general situation 7-1-1927 - 3-3-1927", "page_number": 165, "title": "CO129-502-6 China- general situation 7-1-1927 - 3-3-1927", "content_text": "# \n2 \n\nOf the enclosed area four-fifths at the western end has been appropriated to the British Government, and one-fifth at the eastern end to that of France. \n\nBesides the Consular offices, there is a church, library, reading rooms, &c. The estimated foreign population of Canton is 700, most of whom reside in Shameen. There are about 150 British subjects resident in Shameen and about 83 living outside, distributed in the city of Canton and suburbs on both sides of the river. The two stone bridges referred to above are still standing. The canal is very muddy, usually contains three or four feet of water, and is not considered to be easily fordable. Usually, however, it is full of sampans and other craft. We are informed by the late Commodore, Hong Kong, that the canal can be easily cleared, and that replacement of the craft can be prevented by stationing gunboats so as to enfilade the waterway and the buildings bordering on it.\n\n## Present Defences \n\n5. The whole of the canal front at Shameen, including the two bridges, is at present protected by barbed wire along its whole length, and the French have two field guns in their concession.\n\nThere are five British gunboats now stationed at Shameen.

The present situation, as reported in the telegrams in the Appendices, is as follows:-\n\nThe local press is working up an agitation over the incidents at Hankow. The General Labour Union has held a meeting to discuss taking the Shameen concessions. The meeting was stopped by the police, but the agitation continues. The British Acting Consul-General and the French Consul have warned the Cantonese Ministry for Foreign Affairs that an attempt by the mob to seize the island will be repelled by force. The British Consul-General realises, however, that this entails firing, though only in the last extremity, and that then the Cantonese troops might take part. In that event, it might be impossible to evacuate immediately, especially as the French are determined to hold their concession to the last, and we could not leave them in the lurch. The Acting Consul-General, who thinks the Nationalist Government cannot want serious trouble at Canton, the base of their campaign and the source of most of their money and supplies, asks for authority to tell the local Chinese General in Command, in as friendly and tactful a manner as possible, that if we are attacked by troops we shall shell or bomb vital points and finally blockade Canton. In such a case, he thinks the French and possibly the Americans and Japanese, would be with us and help to defend the island. Meanwhile, the General Officer Commanding at Hong Kong reports that he has been considering the question of the Shameen in consultation with the Navy, and they are of the definite opinion that it should not be evacuated, and the Governor concurs in this opinion. The Navy assure him that communication can be kept open at any time of the year by routes which avoid the defended channel. Should evacuation eventually become imperative, they consider it highly improbable that these routes would be blocked. The General Officer Commanding is prepared, if necessary, to send one company and four machine guns to Shameen. In that event, the Navy propose to block the entrance to the river with the \"Hermes\" and one cruiser, the former being used for bombing if desirable.\n\n6. The reported intention of the French to hold their concession to the last is a new factor. The Foreign Office are rather doubtful as to the accuracy of this report, and are in communication with the French Government on the subject. In regard to this matter we can only point out the great importance of concerting our arrangements with the French, both between the Governments and the local authorities concerned.\n\n7. In dealing with the actual proposals of the Acting Consul-General and the local Naval and Military authorities, we base our recommendations on the assumption that the policy of His Majesty's Government is to avoid any action which might precipitate hostilities with the Chinese military forces and so unite the whole of China in a war against us, but at the same time British interests, wherever situated in China, must be protected up to the point where further resistance will inevitably result in open hostilities with Chinese troops.\n\n8. We feel that the threat which the Acting Consul-General proposes to make to the local Chinese General in Command at Canton, if translated into action, would be calculated to precipitate hostilities and might hasten the crisis at Shanghai which it is desired to avert or in any case to postpone as long as possible. In these circumstances we think that the threat should not be made.\n\n3 \n\n9. The report that it would be possible to keep open communication between Hong Kong and Shameen at any time of the year by alternative routes which avoid the necessity of forcing the defended main river channel is of considerable importance, inasmuch as this shows that the view of the late Commodore in this respect is confirmed by his successor. In these circumstances we feel bound to accept the opinion of the man on the spot. This in no way modifies the opinion expressed by the General Staff in `C.I.D. Paper No. 722-B`, quoted above in paragraph 3, that if Shameen is cut off from the outside world a combined Naval, Military and Air operation would have to be undertaken to relieve it, but decreases the probability of this contingency. We think it not impossible, however, that the Cantonese Government may have obtained some mines for use in the river. In general we think that this information is of importance to the local Naval, Military and Consular authorities in deciding their action in such circumstances as may arise, rather than as affecting the principles which His Majesty's Government should lay down for their guidance.\n\n10. We recommend that the instructions to the local Naval, Military and Civil authorities should be guided by the following principles :-\n\n**(a)** The policy of His Majesty's Government is to avoid becoming engaged in active hostilities with the Chinese military forces, since this might unite the whole of China in a war against us. They must, therefore, avoid action calculated to precipitate this contingency.\n\n**(b)** Subject to this paramount consideration, the Concessions are to be protected against mob violence to the utmost extent possible with the forces available locally, but, if the continued occupation of the Concessions is impossible without action calculated to involve hostilities with the Chinese forces, the men on the spot must have full discretion to evacuate.\n\n11. We recognise that these instructions place a heavy responsibility on those who have to take a decision, whether to hold on or to evacuate. Their position in this respect is similar to that of an officer commanding a rearguard, where the enemy's advance guard consists of the mob and the main body is the Cantonese army. They must therefore be given wide discretion.\n\n12. Subject to the above, and to the consent of the Governor, we recommend that the General Officer Commanding at Hong Kong, in consultation with the local Naval authorities and the acting Consul-General at Canton, should be authorised, if the situation becomes serious, to send to Shameen such troops as he thinks necessary and as he can spare, having due regard to the security of Hong Kong and to the call which may at any moment arise from Shanghai for the despatch of the Indian Battalion.\n\n13. We cannot recommend, however, that authority should be given to block the entrance to the river, as proposed, much less the bombing of Canton, at present.\n\n2, Whitehall Gardens, S.W.1, January 14, 1927.\n\n**(Signed)**\n\n## APPENDIX I\n\nH.

General Labour Union held a meeting to discuss taking Shameen concessions. Meeting was apparently stopped by the police, but agitation continues. French and British concession defences are being renewed. The French Consul and I have warned Ministry of Foreign Affairs that an attempt by the mob to seize the island will be repelled by force. If, however, this entails firing, which, of course, will only be resorted to in an extremity, Cantonese troops might take part. General battle would commence and it might then be impossible to evacuate immediately, especially as the French are determined to hold their concession to the last and we could not leave them in the lurch.\n\nThe Nationalist Government cannot want serious trouble at Canton, which is the base of their campaign and source of most of their money and supplies. I earnestly recommend, therefore, that I be authorised to seek an interview with the General in Command of the forces here and tell him verbally that if we are attacked by troops we shall shell or bomb vital points and finally blockade Canton. In such a case the French would be with us and possibly the Americans and Japanese, who will, I think, help to defend the island. I would make a communication in as friendly and tactful a manner as possible, but if Nationalist Government see we are prepared to take strong action here where it can be taken, it will help negotiations at Hankow. At the same time it is to be hoped that theories regarding unity of China will not prevent understanding with Nationalist Government. The disruption of China is their affair.

If, however, this entails firing, which of course will only be resorted to in an extremity, Cantonese troops might take part. General battle would commence and it might then be impossible to evacuate immediately, especially as the French are determined to hold their concession to the last and we could not leave them in the lurch.\n\nThe nationalist government cannot want serious trouble at Canton which is the base of their campaign and source of most of their money and supplies. I earnestly recommend, therefore, that I be authorised to seek an interview with the General in command of the forces here and tell him verbally that if we are attacked by troops we shall shell or bomb vital points and finally blockade Canton. In such a case the French would be with us and possibly the Americans and Japanese, who will, I think, help to defend the island.

(C. in C.).\n1921.\nApril 14, 1927. 977.\n\nYour 720.* I attended meeting to-day, Thursday, the 14th April, at which American, Japanese, French and Italian S.N.O.'s stated that, although first two had sent recommendations, they had not yet been asked for their views regarding concerted action if required to enforce compliance with ultimatum, and that they could not take part in any operation without approval of their respective Governments. An informal discussion based on assumption that we had all been asked by our Governments for our views on concerted action revealed\n\n(a.) French Admiral is reluctant to, and thinks that his Government will not consent to any stronger measures than pacific blockade of Yangtse.\n\n(b.) British, American, Japanese and Italian S.N.O.'s informally agree to recommend\n| (i) | Destruction of Wusung Forts. |\n| (ii) | Destruction of Yangtse Forts. |\n| (iii) | Bombardment of Hankow Arsenal. |\n\nBritish, Japanese and Italian recommend such action to be carried out simultaneously, others in sequence. No offensive action to be taken against any position actually held by Northerners, whose continued advance is problematical. In case of isolated action by British being approved by His Majesty's Government, I recommend that operations as detailed in (a) and (b) of my 971,* leaving out places occupied by Northerners. American Admiral would not press suggestion re Customs Surtax being seized.\n\nAll S.N.O.'s were against sinking or seizing Chinese warships unless they interfered.\n\n## APPENDIX II\n\nDecypher of Telegram from Sir M. Lampson (Peking), No. 714, dated April 15, 1927.\n\nI explained position as set forth in your telegram No. 278* to the four Ministers on the 14th April. They all took note of views of His Majesty's Government for the information of their Governments.\n\nAfter deciding to-day, the 15th April, on terms of our joint recommendations on Chen's note of the 14th April (see my telegram No. 712*), discussion reverted to question of sanctions. American Minister and Japanese Minister took full part whilst making it clear that they were not authorised to agree to anything. Undoubtedly, sense of meeting was (see your telegram No. 288,* since received) that first and most obvious thing to do was to destroy Hankow and Canton arsenals, which might conceivably be quite sufficient alone to achieve our purpose. If that failed, Wu[Sung] forts and possibly cutting off supplies and men for South from crossing Yangtse ought to prove effective.\n\nI do not wish to give away my Japanese or United States colleagues with their own Governments, but I was frankly surprised at whole-hearted manner in which they endorsed these suggestions. It was finally decided that I should recommend these specific sanctions to His Majesty's Government and suggest to them desirability of getting other Governments to agree.\n\nShould His Majesty's Government decide to do so, I am particularly anxious that nothing should be said at any capital which might give my colleagues away to their Governments. Further, I have their complete confidence, but Japanese Minister had a bad jolt yesterday when he had a telegram from Tokyo reporting an interview there on the 11th April with His Majesty's Ambassador, when he, Japanese Minister, was apparently quoted on a report of mine as himself strongly opposing principle of sanctions. I have disposed of any little soreness, but it shows the need for great watchfulness.\n\n(Addressed to Foreign Office, No. 714.

There have, moreover (as you will see from my secret despatch of the 29th March), been reports of a plot against the lives of the Governor General and Attorney General of Netherland India, brought to my notice by the Netherland Consul General, in which Chinese resident in Hong Kong are in some way implicated and in which the Consul General's informant has mysteriously disappeared and is supposed to have been kidnapped and taken to Canton.\n\n3.

He further stated that he had refused permission to the Nejd tribesmen to erect buildings at the wells of Lina, 30 miles from the border. In a series of messages to the British Consul at Jeddah during February, Ibn Saud explained the difficulty of his position; he did not wish to join the Iraqis and make war on his own subjects, nor did he wish to find himself in conflict with the British Government. He therefore begged the latter to find a solution of his difficulties.\n\nOn 5th March, however, it was reported from Basra that Ibn Saud had issued an address to the leading Sheikhs of the Nejd tribes declaring that he had abandoned hope of converting the infidels of Koweit, Iraq and Transjordania by peaceful means, and now saw that the only way was by the sword. He went on to promise help with rifles, food, and ammunition. Up to the present (9th March) he has given no notice to the British Government of his intention to attack the non-Wahabi Arabs, and it is quite possible that his message to the Sheiks has been inaccurately reported.\n\nSouthern Arabia. On 11th February, news was received that Imam's forces (Zeidis) had kidnapped the Alawi Sheikh and the uncle of the Koheibi Sheikh, both of whom are in treaty relations with the British Government, and whose districts form part of the British protectorate. The Imam had been several times warned that any further acts of aggression on his part would lead to reprisals. Accordingly, after notice had been given, the Zeidi headquarters at Kababa, not far from the scene of the outrage, were bombed on 19th-21st February. Meanwhile, information was received of a separate incursion against the Sheikh of Shaab, who is also under British protection. Instructions were sent (1st March) to bomb the invaders in this area.\n\nThe Italian Government, who are in treaty relations with the Imam, and have on previous occasions exercised a restraining influence upon him, have been informed of the action taken by the British authorities.\n\nTHE BALKANS.\n\nItaly and Austria. The question of the treatment of the German inhabitants of the South Tyrol by the Italian authorities came to the fore again, when the subject was raised in the Austrian Parliament on 23rd February. Replying to a deputy, who declared that the Austro-Germans under Italian rule were worse off than any of those of the minorities that had come into being in any other country, the Chancellor, Dr. Seipel, agreed that it was a matter on which Austria could not remain silent. He stated that he was not interfering in Italian internal affairs, but that as Austria could go to no forum to have her wrongs redressed he asked Italy to take this into consideration, and appealed to an international sense of morality. The Italian Press was stirred to fury by these accusations, which were described\n\n**\n\nas a disgraceful manifestation of hatred against Italy, and a campaign of impudence and falsehood conducted by Austrian responsible circles against the simple application of Italian law in the Italian province of Bolzano. The Giornale d'Italia asked whether the limits of an intervention, now become intolerable, on the part of a foreign State in the internal legislation of the Italian State had not been reached,\" and at the same time seized the opportunity to warn the League of Nations and foreigners in general that they would do well to abstain from trying to interfere. Most of the principal Powers represented at Geneva, it was stated, would be compelled to condemn their own policy as practised in their acquired territories, and people in glass houses should not throw stones.' Incidentally, the same journal, as a reply to criticisms of the Italian regime in the South Tyrol which appeared in an English paper a little time previously, alleged that British rule in Malta was guilty of acts of repression directed against Italian culture, and in support of this imaginative assertion produced a fantastic story that the Naval Commander-in-Chief had directed his dependents to vote for the anti-Italian party at the elections. Following this outcry in the Press the Italian Minister at Vienna was recalled to report in Rome the next day (25th February), and on 3rd March Signor Mussolini delivered a characteristic stand-from-under speech in reply to the Austrian complaints, which he stigmatised as being not only false but \"superlatively ridiculous.” He discoursed at length about the friendship shown on many occasions by Italy for Austria since the war, and stated that hundreds of Germans were still employed in the Government Service in the Upper Adige. He promised, however, that if the insolent speeches, odious insinuations, and vulgar insults were repeated, he would take those very measures of which he was now unjustly accused. \"We are not pupils of Austria,\" he declared, \"which for a whole century peopled the countries of half Europe with executioners, filled prisons with martyrs, and set up gallows indefatigably.” Concluding amid a delirious ovation, he said that if these provocative manifestations against Italy were repeated he would reply with deeds, not words.\" Little comment on this oration has appeared in Vienna, and official circles are somewhat embarrassed by a telegram from the President of the German Reichstag, proclaiming the unfailing loyalty and solidarity of the whole German people with the oppressed Germans of the South Tyrol. One German paper declared that it is becoming evident that Signor Mussolini over-estimates his power, and adds that if he should, with the courage of the vulture towards the sparrow,\" carry out his threats against Austria, he will never kill the spirit of Germanism.\n\n#\n\n\"\n\nHungary.

These arrests, it was mentioned, were in addition to male prisoners charged with this type of offence, whose number is increasing.\n\nApparently a well-organised gang of kidnappers had found Hong Kong a ready market for children stolen from the country. Women have played a considerable part in this business by bringing the kidnapped children to Hong Kong, it being recognised that a woman seen with children is less likely to incite suspicion than a man under similar circumstances.\n\nFor several weeks, the Police have carried out raids in different parts of the Colony and the net result has been the recovery of a number of children and many arrests. The comb-out, it is understood, is continuing.\n\nIt is stated that in view of the difficulty experienced in fixing the places from which the children have been stolen the Police find it hard to get hold of witnesses for proceedings that have been contemplated against some of the arrested persons. Added to this difficulty is the fact that the selling of children by parents is quite a common practice in China, and this further hampers the efforts of the police. The only course left to the authorities is to deport the prisoners en masse from the Colony and this will probably be done. The children meanwhile will be cared for by local benevolent institutions.\n\n62917.\n\nPage 4\nPage 9\n\n| Name | Date |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Martin | 1/19/29 |\n| M.

R. J. Maxwell Scott, D.S.O., R.N.)\n\nThese notes refer purely to piracy in the waters between Canton, Kongmun and Hong Kong and the Delta in between, the question of sea-going trade on the China coast is not touched upon.\n\n(1) The only permanent cure for piracy in these waters is an efficient local Government determined to put down crime and having the necessary resources in men and money to keep up a river patrol and a trained body of police and detectives. The goodwill of the local gentry and village headsmen is also necessary, whether it is obtained spontaneously or by fear of consequences.\n\n(2) During the last nine months conditions in Kwangtung Province have been chaotic and there has been no law or order throughout the country districts. In March last conversations were opened with the Chinese Officials with a view to getting their agreement to the British Naval Forces co-operating with their appointed representative against the pirates. After a good deal of patience and negotiation Dr. Sun's Government agreed to co-operation. It was obvious from the start that the Chinese officials were suspicious of our motives and there was and is a strong party against co-operation with a foreign power. However after various delays a start was made and the Pearl River area was dealt with and considered clear by the end of April. The intention was then to carry on and deal with each troublesome area in turn, but every sort of obstacle began to arise and the Canton situation dominated the whole question. The British Naval Forces were practically tied hand and foot to Canton and the defence of the great interests there. Starting with the Shameen bomb outrage and progressing through the Shameen strike to the Volunteer Arms question, which concluded with the burning of parts of Canton and the disarming of the Canton Merchant Volunteers, there was hardly a breathing space during which any extensive campaign against the pirates could be even considered. As fast as one crisis was past and attention turned to anti-piracy another crisis arose in Canton.\n\n(3) In spite of all this interruption a great deal has been done to deal with the piracy evil. General Li Fook Lum, the appointed Chinese official to deal with the pirates, has been enormously handicapped by want of men and money and especially gunboats or armed launches. An even greater handicap is the tremendous jealousy between all the various provincial troops and their commanders. All districts are parcelled out between these military commanders who extort what is possible out of their areas. They are much too busy doing this to have time or inclination to bother about pirates who do not damage their own pockets and in many cases no doubt contribute to their fortunes as", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-521-4 Piracy in Chinese waters- China Navigation Company Ltd- H.M.

In exchange the Colony were to reprovide equivalent accommodation and Treasury letter 3rd August 1927 (8,32011) sanctioned the insertion of an item of £20,000 in subhead 1 of Navy Vote 10 1928 for the replacement of the necessary buildings on the understanding that a sum estimated at £16,748 would be recoverable from the Hong Kong Government.\n\nExchange of property For the reasons explained below this has not taken place nor has any expenditure been incurred on the reprovision of buildings.\n\n2.

Several reputable Chinese who were eye-witnesses of the encounter of 13th April came forward in a public-spirited manner and volunteered to give sworn testimony at the Court. The evidence of these men was a main factor in the conviction of the offenders.\n\nWhile responsibility could not be fixed upon the person who threw the explosive bomb which occasioned the death of F.C. Jacob of the Nauru Regular Police, it was possible to secure positive identification of those individuals who either threw bombs, or who had bombs or explosive material in their possession, or who were actively associated with the bomb-throwers.\n\nDuring", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-527-4 Outbreak between rival factions of Chinese employed by British Phosphate Commissioners on Nauru Island- reports... 21-4-1930 - 6-6-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 526470, "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": "CO129-527-4 Outbreak between rival factions of Chinese employed by British Phosphate Commissioners on Nauru Island- reports... 21-4-1930 - 6-6-1930", "page_number": 5, "title": "CO129-527-4 Outbreak between rival factions of Chinese employed by British Phosphate Commissioners on Nauru Island- reports... 21-4-1930 - 6-6-1930", "content_text": "## Trial Outcome\n\nDuring the trial, members of the European and Chinese communities were available in Court in order to watch the interests of the accused and to assist them in the conduct of their defence, but the accused refused to take advantage of any offered assistance. Eight of the accused were found guilty of the charges preferred against them and they were sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for terms varying from one to ten years. In the case of those accused who actually threw bombs, or who had bombs or explosive material in their possession or who were actively associated with the bomb-throwers, an additional punishment of fifteen strokes of a cane was awarded. This punishment was imposed under the personal supervision of the Government Medical Officer who reported that the punishment was not excessive.\n\n## Aftermath\n\nThe prompt and efficient manner in which this very serious outbreak was handled by the Police authorities and the punishments awarded in the case of those found guilty have had a most salutary effect. It is realised that had the attack been permitted to develop the casualty list would have been heavy. The work of the Chinese on this island, I am glad to report, continues to proceed under normal conditions. Representatives of the large body of reputable Chinese workers have expressed the gratitude of the Chinese community and have promised to assist in preserving order. The prestige of the Administration has been maintained, and I believe that it is unlikely that an outbreak of similar magnitude will arise for many a day.\n\n(Sgd.) **W.A.

The androecium, the all-important character, is not mentioned, however, and nothing is said of the character of the tubercle or rhizome. For the present, these two species may be referred, although doubtfully, to the assemblage centering around Balania Harlandii.\n\nThe Balanophora minor Hemsley (1894, p. 411, pl. 9, fig. 1), was also collected in Hupeh, China (Faug), and by A. Henry. Since only the pistillate plant is known, the exact relation to Balania is uncertain, although its chief character it may be suspected (as Valeton, 1913, p. 130) has done.\n\nis its \"very small dimensions,\" as Hemsley (1894, p. 411) expresses it. Among the Hong Kong specimens are a number of mature plants not over 1.5-2.5 inches in height. The capitulum of B. minor is proportionally more elongate than any in the Hong Kong series. Balanophora minor Hemsley may be interrogatively placed in the assemblage of Balania Harlandii (in the broader sense).\n\nReturning to the plants designated by Makino as Balanophora tobiracola and B. Wright, a great difference is seen to exist between them and Balania Harlandii. Balanophora tobiracola Makino differs from Balania Harlandii and all the other species of Balania and Bivolva, although having a very similar androecium, in having the staminate flowers distant from one another, without the conspicuous anastomosing bracts which form the characteristic alveolar hollows whence the staminate flowers arise, and surrounding the staminate flowers are the pistillate flowers with their spadicels. Traces of this arrangement may be indicated for Balania involucrata by Hooker (1859, p. 44) in his statement: \"I never found male capitula to bear any but very rudimentary female flowers scattered along the edges of the alveoli in which the lower part of the male perianth is sunk.\"\n\nSpecimens determined as B. tobiracola, kindly provided by Professors Kimura and Yamada, indicate the absence of any large bracts and alveoli about the staminate flowers, but each seems densely girt with pistils and spadicels. Large bracts are present, but scattered and never forming alveolate pits for the staminate flowers.\n\nBalanophora tobiracola Makino may well constitute a second genus of the Balania group (or tribe, Balanieae), for which the name Balaneikon may be proposed, with diagnostic characters of staminate flowers with parts in threes and with horizontal triangulately arranged anthers adnate to the bases of the divisions of the calyx (as in Balania), staminate bracts absent, and with staminate flowers and pistillate flowers intermingled.\n\nThe genus Balaneikon will include two species (if these are distinct from one another):\n\nBalaneikon tobiracola (Makino) comb. nov.\n\nBalanophora tobiracola Makino, Bot.

We have no data of a chemical analysis of any of the hot springs of Foochow and do not know whether such an analysis has ever been made. The 18 samples were taken from different places. Nine out of 18 proved to be negative. The springs are in deep wells. The water in all places which were visited was several metres below the surface of the soil; it is taken up by wooden buckets. Down in the well in all visited places the water was steaming hot and the high temperature, which doubtless makes life impossible for free-living nematodes together with the fact that it is hardly possible to collect samples down in the rather narrow wells, caused us to take samples either from the wooden tanks into which the buckets are emptied and from which the water flows through pipes or open canals to the bath-houses, or from stone tanks in which the water is stored before being used in the bath-house. The temperature of the water in the different tanks showed great variations. The highest temperature under which nematodes occurred in our material from Foochow was 51° C.; under this temperature only larval stages were found.\n\nChangchow, on the banks of the Dragon River, Fukien Province. Two of the three samples which were collected at Changchow contained rather numerous nematodes; the third one was negative. We wish to thank Mr. Ling Shao-wen, Assistant in the Department of Zoology of the University of Amoy, for having made the collections. The two positive samples were taken from two different places. Both springs are in deep wells and the probable reason that both samples were so rich in material is that they were taken from the wall of the well 5 and 13 feet respectively above the surface of the water. In the first case (collection 5 feet above the surface) the water had a temperature of 39° C., in the second case the water temperature was 48.5° C. Whereas, therefore, in both cases the nematodes were not permanently living in the thermal water, there can be no doubt that due to the frequent splashing of water from the buckets the worms were frequently exposed to the influence of the water of its original or slightly decreased temperature. According to reports from Changchow, and from the previous experience of one of us (Hoeppli) in Changchow that there is a slight smell of hydrogen sulphide coming from the thermal water, we feel certain that the water contains sulphur.\n\nTangshan near Nanking.\n\nThere are altogether five hot springs in Tangshan with their overflow running through the fields. Samples were taken from the overflow from each of them. Four samples (3 and 1) from two different streams with algal vegetation contained nematodes. The water temperature where the samples were taken was 35° C. (3 samples) and above 50° C. (1 sample); in the latter case only larval stages were found.\n\nSupplement No. 1, 1934.\n\n95", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 533099, "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": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "page_number": 73, "title": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "content_text": "96\n\n18\n\nR. HOEPPLI AND H. J. CHU.\n\nWen Ch'uan, west of Hei Lung Tang near Peiping.\n\nFour samples were taken from a stone tank where thermal water was stored in the bath-house of Wen Ch'uan. The water temperature in the stone tank was 34° C. All four samples contained representatives of two nematode species.\n\nSozun, Taihoku, Formosa,\n\nOne sample out of two which were taken from the overflow of a sulphur spring at Sozan contained numerous larvæ of a Dorylaimus sp. and a new Monhystrella sp.; at the place of collection the water temperature was 35° C. We wish to thank Prof. Yokogawa of the Government Medical School of Formosa and Mr. T. Koshimura of the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Formosa for facilitating the collection of the material. The thermal water of Sozan is very rich in sulphur.\n\nPHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THERMAL WATER:\n\nIn his work on the fauna of hot springs in Yellowstone Park and in the Western United States, Brues (1924 and 1928) has discussed the physical conditions of thermal water. It is, therefore, sufficient to mention here only the most essential factors. It is evident that the temperature plays a very important role. From various observations and experiments, one is entitled to draw the conclusion that a temperature of 40-50° C. is about the maximum for most animals normally living in fresh water of atmospheric temperature. Animals which normally live in sea water are much less resistant to higher temperature; transferred into water which was gradually heated various marine animals with two exceptions according to Frenzel could stand only temperatures of 25-30° C. and this only for a few hours. For chlorophyll-bearing plants the upper temperature limit is at about 60° C. The highest temperature from which a free-living nematode has been reported is 53° C. (Dorylaimus therma, Hot Springs in Yellowstone Valley). Apart from this case, free-living nematodes have been found in thermal water of temperatures ranging between 25° C. Ragaz and 40° C. Montegrotto. The species described in the present paper occurred in water of 34.5-51° C. It is interesting to note that in our present material there were only larval stages occurring in water of a temperature above 40° C. Why larvæ apparently stand higher temperatures better than adults is difficult to explain. We merely record our observations. Taken as a whole we find that for most nematodes as for most other fresh water animals a temperature of 40-50° C. is about the upper limit which they can stand.\n\nCHEMICAL CONDITIONS:\n\nBecause we have no analysis of the thermal waters from which we made our collections, we mention only that the two examined springs in Changchow, Fukien, and the spring in Sozan, Formosa, contain sulphur; the latter spring is very rich in this mineral. Most of the thermal waters contain salts in larger or smaller quantities; in some cases, for example, in certain springs in Yellowstone Park, the mineral contents and not the temperature of the water make life impossible for free-living nematodes.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nFree-Living Nematodes from Hot Springs in China and Formosa.\n\nFOOD CONDITIONS:\n\n19\n\nThey have been briefly discussed by the senior author with reference to hot springs in Yellowstone Park. From the work of Menzel, Steiner, and Micoletzky, we know that the kind of food of free-living nematodes and the way they take it, is rather different in different groups. There is no reason to assume that the thermal environment produces changes in the way of feeding and, because most of the species in our present study were found living between algæ, we assume that algæ are the food for those of our forms which have no specially developed large teeth indicating predacious habits.\n\nAltogether we found nine different species of adults; among them one new species for which we created a new genus, Greenia orientalis n.g., n. sp.—four new species belonging to known genera: Plectus chengmohliangi, n. sp., Microlaimoides lingi n. sp., Cyatholaimus chungsani n. sp. and Monhystrella ginlingensis n. sp.—one new variety, Monhystera filiformis var. Jukienensis n. var. three previously described species, Diploscapter coronata (Cobb), 1893, Aphelenchus parietinus Bastian, 1865 and Trilobus aliophysis (Steiner), 1919. Furthermore, there were different larval stages present in our collection; among them a Dorylaimus sp. and a Microlaimus sp.\n\nTECHNIQUE:\n\nThe collected material was preserved in 10% formalin and then transferred to a mixture of 5% acetic acid, 20% glycerin and 75% water. In order to mount the anterior end in frontal view, the specimens were transferred into glycerin jelly.\n\nSPECIAL PART,\n\nGreenia orientalis n.g., n. sp.\n\n(Pl. 11, Fig. 17; Pl. 12, Figs. 21-24).\n\nGreenia generic diagnosis: Cuticle striated.

HOEPPLE AND H. J. Chu,\n\nBrues that the fauna of thermal waters as a whole corresponds to a fauna typical of brackish water. Among the nematodes which have been found in thermal waters, there is a group the representatives of which are ubiquitous, that means that they have adjusted themselves to very different ecological conditions. It is, therefore, not surprising to find these forms in water of higher temperature. To this group belong: Mononchus brachyuris Bütschli var. macrodenticulatus Micoletzky; Mononchus macrostoma Bastian, 1865; Plectus parvus Bastian, 1865; Trilobus allophysis (Steiner), 1919; Aphelenchus parietinus Bastian, 1865; Chronogaster gracilis Cobb, 1913; Diploscapter coronata (Cobb), 1893.\n\nSpecies which until the present have been found only in thermal water of a temperature higher than that of the atmosphere and which, therefore, can be regarded to a certain degree as specific, are the following: - Dorylaimus therma Cobb, 1926; Dorylaimus atratus v. Linstow, 1901; Chromadora salinarum v. Linstow, 1901; Chromadora nanna Hoeppli, 1926; Microlaimoides setosus Hoeppli, 1926; Microlaimoides lingi, n. sp.; Greenia orientalis n. sp.; Cyatholaimus chungsani n. sp.; Monhystrella ginlingensis n. sp.; Monhystera filiformis var. fukienensis n. var.; and Plectus chengmohliangi n. sp.\n\nThese species belong to genera which have representatives in salt water as well as in fresh water and soil, with the exception of Plectus chengmohliangi; Plectus species have hitherto been reported only from fresh water and soil but have not been found in sea water.\n\nIn the genus Dorylaimus, by far the majority of species live in soil and fresh water. On the other hand, most representatives of the genus Chromadora occur in salt water. Microlaimus, Monhystrella (close to Terschellingia) and Cyatholaimus species occur in about the same number of species in salt and in fresh water. The examination of these forms did not result in any morphological peculiarity which could be considered due to the influence of a different thermal environment.\n\nRegarding the species which have been exclusively reported from thermal waters, we find that the same or nearly related species occur in places which are geographically far distant from each other. There were found: Microlaimoides setosus in Yellowstone Park, Microlaimoides lingi in Fukien, China; Chromadora salinarum in Germany, Chromadora nanna in Yellowstone Park; Greenia orientalis (related to Plectus and Chromadora) in South, Central, and North China; Cyatholaimus chungsani in Fukien, South China.\n\nSUMMARY\n\nThe nemic fauna of various hot springs in China and Formosa is not an ordinary fresh water fauna, because apparently some widespread fresh water species do not occur in thermal waters. The nematode fauna of the springs examined is composed of two groups: (a) Ubiquitous species which normally occur under very different ecological conditions and which have probably a specially well-developed faculty of adjustment to different osmotic pressures and different temperatures. The first-mentioned factor is\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nFree-Living Nematodes from Hot Springs in China and Formosa,\n\n27\n\nin our opinion more important than the second. (b) Species more or less specific for thermal waters belonging to a small number of genera which have mostly fresh water as well as marine representatives. These specific forms occur in identical or closely related species in thermal waters in different parts of the world.\n\nNo morphological peculiarities due to the thermal environment could be found.\n\nLITERATURE\n\nBrues, C.

Plasmodia when mature give rise to one or occasionally more spore-balls. The organism causes the host tissue to become active, and either produces abnormal development of cork, with a final production of a scab, or, if the root is attacked, a gall about a centimetre in diameter. Various species of the genus Solanum are infected, but it is most common on the cultivated potato. The organism has a world-wide distribution.\n\nThis organism is responsible for the disease of potatoes known in this country as \"Corky Scab,\" in France as gale ordinaire, in Italy as \"crosta,\" in Germany as \"Pulverschorf,\" in Holland as \"poederschurft\" and in Denmark as \"pulverskurv.\" The disease is first apparent as slightly raised pimples and slight discolouration, and when the tubers are cut the infected area is generally purple in colour. When the organism is mature the scabs burst and the spores become scattered. The fungus does not attack those parts of the plant which are above the soil. The distribution of the disease is interesting. After being recorded in England in 1842, it was found in the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, France, Sweden and Germany. Later it occurred in the United States and Canada, probably as the result of shipments of potatoes from Europe, but it was also found in 1891 by Lagerheim at Quito in Ecuador. He discovered that the disease was well known to the natives, and, since South America is probably the native home of the potato, it suggests that the disease first reached Europe from South America, spread through Europe, and from thence into North America. It occurs most commonly in countries with a heavy rainfall.\n\n44\n\nSpore masses irregular in shape, 45μ×70μ in size. diameter, with smooth, thin walls, generally yellow in colour.\n\n2. S.

A. C. Herklots.\n\nFamily ARDEIDAE, The Herons, Egrets and Bitterns.\n\nThe Bitterns.\n\nThe order CICONIIFORMES is divided into the two sub-orders Steganopodes including the Gannets, Cormorants, Pelicans, etc., and the Ciconiae with four main families. The Phoenicopteridae,—Flamingoes; the Ibidae,—Ibises and Spoonbills; the Ciconiidae,—Storks; and Ardeidae,—Herons, Egrets, and Bitterns.\n\nIn\n\nFrequently storks are confused with herons and their relatives but the latter can be distinguished by their more slender build of bill, body and legs. In the storks the hind toe is short and there is no serrated claw. In the Ardeidae the hind toe is long and placed at the same level as the front toes, and the inner edge of the middle claw has a serrated comb-like edge. In flight the heron, like the pelican, doubles up the neck till the head rests on the back between the shoulders, whereas the stork flies with outstretched neck like a swan.\n\nIn South China the Ardeidae are represented by the Herons, Egrets, Pond Herons, Green Herons, Night Herons and Bitterns. Of these only the Bitterns will be described here.\n\nIn England the bittern is a bird very well known by name but by sight known only to very few. When alarmed it has the curious habit of keeping absolutely motionless, tilting the body backwards and thrusting bill, head, and neck vertically upwards. By doing this the vertical dark streaks on the throat and breast blend with the reeds and stems of the background, and the buff tints of the plumage harmonise with the browns of the dead reed-leaves. The attitude of the bird and its protective coloration serve to hide it very effectively from a possible enemy. The curious booming cry of the bittern is much better known than the bird itself. The drainage of the fen and marsh lands and ruthless collecting of the eggs of this rare and interesting bird resulted in the species becoming practically extinct in England and Wales but there is now evidence that in one bird reserve, at least, the bittern is increasing in numbers. In the \"Transactions of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society\" for January of this year the following paragraph occurs. \"At one time an attempt used to be made each year to locate all the nests of the Bittern for census purposes, but the practice has now been given up, because there is every reason to believe that their numbers are not decreasing. For example, on May 1st (1931) seven different male birds were heard booming on the reserve (Hickling Broad).", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 533180, "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": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "page_number": 154, "title": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "content_text": "D.

There is one type which is noticeably found in various sizes but never so big as the typical jar: it is the shape and general decoration shown in Plate 33, figure 2; this type has usually lugs at the shoulder and these are pierced as if for suspension on a string (see fragment 38 which belongs to fragment 20 style): one strikingly neat vase in which both fabric and pattern show a greater sense of beauty has been found in two fragments each of which has a diminutive handle consisting of a strip of clay fastened to the body by little plaques which obviously imitate a bronze model (rivets) (fragment 7). Professor Shellshear seems to have found a similar piece and it is possible that a comparison would show that it is a third handle from the same vase.\n\nCertain features of technique are noteworthy. The lower part of these pots seems to have been made in a basket-like receptacle apparently woven of rush or perhaps of bamboo fibre: one can even detect at times the wider spaced framework that supported as stays exteriorly the closer meshed fabric: on the actual specimen this is best seen by oblique illumination with artificial light and reveals itself in a succession of wider hollows between knots of eminence. The bigger black dots on fragment 9 show the effect. Something similar was used to smooth off the interior and this treatment often gives a surface like the imprint of a corrugated hide to the inner skin: a few instances of a peculiar stud-like mark standing out in lines in the interior also occur, it is like the cast that would result from a matrix consisting of the depression in wood where a nail had been driven in, pointing perhaps to the use of a frame of wood for the support of the pot during the stamping of the pattern on the outside: it may have been actually the imprint of a stamping tool but, as yet, no certain interpretation can be offered. The upper part of the body was turned on the wheel: on one fragment which has defied the camera a line of ornament ran away very much in accordance with the geographical law for the deviation of winds and currents on the revolving globe, indicating a wheel running from the potter's right to his left. The class of vase represented by Plate 33, figure 2, shows a marked join interiorly between body and bottom. Judging by the frequency with which fractures have occurred at the neck, it would seem as if the neck were made separately and then luted on. In support of this are three observations; firstly, the thickening in layers of the clay (see figure 6, c and d) and, secondly, much more important for our whole study, the ornamentation of the shoulder groove with the motive of the \"comb\" dots in groups of three, four or more pricks (fragments 3, 4, 7, 10, 13, 37, but they do not come out well); these dots (Plate 33, figure 2) are reminiscent of stitches and in fact we shall find them in the course of these articles used as a decorative-motive on various parts that overlie joins, e.g. on the body of cup where the pedestal-foot had been added, or on one of these jar-pots where a foot was put beneath the usually rounded bottom. Thirdly, the actual technique of the join has been detected on fragments from Lamma and from Site 26ii (of which later) and is of importance as a connecting link.\n\nSometimes it would seem that some article with a woven grid surface was used to make the upper part, even the neck of the pot, for there are\n\nPage 221\n\nPage 222\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nVol. III, Nos. 3 and 4.\n\nPlate 33.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 533182, "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": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "page_number": 156, "title": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "content_text": "223 \n\n232 \n\nD.

One piece has been recognized at 36 inches. It was for economy of photography (under scanty finance) that I have chosen this piece to show basket and pattern at once. Other pieces are very large and show the pattern to have been like that on a brick in the \"Five Storied Pagoda Museum in Canton; the brick is assigned to the Period \"Han to Sung.\" It may be noted here that the same Museum has other bricks showing diaper patterns like 1.b.i. with hollow central lozenge and these also are assigned to the same wide period; one with a simple diaper net is assigned to \"Early Han.\" A very similar pattern in which however the lozenges are set normally and not diagonally covers the bronze bell depicted in (3) Vol. I, p. 143 and this bell is dated by an inscription as made in the second year of Sui ho i.e. 7 B.C. \n\n1.d.ii. Fragment 12 is based on a series of inscribed squares constructed on a common pair of intersecting diagonals. This fragment (unique in my collection) has the merit of proving the use of a stamp by the presence of the same irregularity in the right-hand side of the innermost square in each impression. Mr. Schofield has a large piece of the same pot and Professor Shellshear has its neck. \n\n66 \n\n\"\" \n\nI.e. A series using circular impressions. One pot of the fabric represented by Plate 33, figure 2 shows a central circular mark (not hollow ring) surrounded by a roughly circular ring; evidently the impression of the end of a stick. More developed forms are represented by the fragments 13, 14 and 15. 13 and 14 show the connection with the rest of the series in the basket pattern and differ from 15 very much as 5 differs from 7 or 8, one is more near the square, the other the oblong. Figure 15 shows how the matrix of the stamped unit pattern was made to dovetail between the repetitions on fragment 13, the stamping has produced blurs by overprinting. This series is reminiscent of the scale patterns that occur on Chinese bronzes attributed to the Chou period. \n\nFor this group, I cannot produce any depth record as all fragments have been found on the surface. However, they belong by general fabric to the same series as the most typical of our ware below, 1.h. The ware is usually hard, well-levigated stone-ware type of a buff colour. \n\n1.f. This is represented only by one large fragment of great interest, fragment 4. \n\nThe neck shows the basket pattern and is \"attached\" by an almost level strip showing a 7-pricked \"stitch\" motive: the inner side of the neck has a factory mark made with a semi-circular sweep of the 7-pronged \"stitch\" comb. The body of the vase shows a zig-zag which after long hesitations I now regard as stamped, the breadth of the stamp seemingly being 7 rows and its height about an inch and a quarter. This fragment was picked up on the surface, but its factory mark (with which we shall deal later on in a special article devoted to these characteristic marks), its shape, fabric and ware, link it surely with this whole series. The ware is a pleasant buff red of softish feel. Perhaps intended for glazing. \n\n1.g.

It was actually being found when Plate 32, figure 4 was snapped, it comes from what apparently is a coolie-heap.\" The ware is a yellowish red of soft brickish type. The shape of the vase was like that of the typical Han period \"hu\" in which the shoulder of the vase is not well marked: the form however occurs far back in the Kansu prehistoric pottery as in (11) Plate 6.\n\nThe mouth of this vessel was bevelled, its breadth was about 7 inches. The only ornament was a series of four zones, altogether in width 14in. beginning an inch below the lip. The ornament between the dividing lines of the zones consists of impressions of a toothed comb reminiscent of the guard of a miniature safety razor; six triangular impressions of teeth about one millimetre each at base go to each imprint which is about one centimetre long; the imprints are set slanting up to the left. This motive furnishes an important link between this series and the glazed cups. Another point of great importance has been noted already: the dividing lines between the zones show the potter's attempt to secure a double line—in the lowest boundary line he was successful but the upper ones went astray on him and in one case his point went careering wildly up from the second lowest line and raced in an elliptical curve over all the upper zones: it would seem that he was working with a wheel that revolved from his right hand to his left.\n\n1.h. We now come to the most distinctive and the most interesting of our ceramic finds. As I write this, almost at the last possible moment for the printing, I have just heard of the coming to light of some new material, but I must trust to add in its confirmatory or corrective value at the end of the whole article.

It appears to be a pattern little found elsewhere and was quite new even to such an authority as Professor Paul Pelliot when I showed it to him. Most typical form, it consists of an S scroll which branches at each side producing the effect of a capital F upright coalescing along the vertical stroke with an inverted F. Sometimes only one F is used and I refer to this as a half stamp; sometimes the stem branches into three limbs at each side (fragment 29 seems to be a specimen but clearer ones have been found).\n\nThe series speaks for itself: an attempt has been made here to arrange it in a morphological development which is indicative of a variation from an original motive, without however claiming any strict value for it as a stratigraphic test. For the moment, all that can be said is that the whole series is one showing distinct variations in the direction of degradation; to use a hint given by Prof. Pelliot, the series goes from \"poterie des seigneurs\" to \"poterie des paysans,\" from an imitation of bronze to a typical ceramic treatment.\n\nBefore proceeding to the fascinating study of its origin, it will be best to point out the main factors in the variation.\n\n<<\n\n1.h.i.

In both bomb cases it was possible to ascertain the nature of the explosive used.\n\nSeveral children showed symptoms of poisoning after partaking of locally made sweetmeats; it was ascertained that excess of synthetic essences had been used and that the wrapping paper contained aniline dyestuffs which had contaminated the sweets.\n\nDuring the summer a report was made that attempts were being made to poison wells in the Lok Ma Chau area; samples were taken and in no case was any poisonous matter found in the water. In this connection a specimen of suspicious nature, found in one of the wells, was sent for examination; it was identified as a piece of carbolic soap, probably dropped in accidentally. Later in the year a specimen was sent from Hoihow, in connection with a similar scare, and in this case was found to be a mixture of starch and china clay.\n\nNo outstanding cases occurred; the majority of the cases being suicide, opium again being the favourite means. In the case in which mercury was found, death was proved to be through natural causes. The deceased had taken calomel some time before death and mercury, equivalent to 1/3rd grain, was found in the walls of the stomach.\n\n### DANGEROUS GOODS\n\n154 samples coming under the heading of dangerous goods were submitted for examination during the year; the majority were samples of oil fuel, petrol, and kerosene for use in H.M. Ships.\n\nSamples of firecrackers were submitted by the police for presence of illegal constituents, and the usual bi-annual inspections were made of firecracker factories in Kowloon and New Territories and samples brought back for examination.\n\nThe holds and tanks of 72 steamers were examined for the presence of inflammable vapour by means of Clowes-Redwood apparatus.\n\n### FOOD AND DRUGS\n\nTwo hundred and sixty-eight samples of food or drugs were examined during 1932. These comprised samples taken by Inspectors of the Sanitary Department under the Food and Drugs Ordinance, also commercial samples and samples from private persons.\n\n173", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-545-8 Annual medical report 1932 2-11-1933 - 16-5-1934.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 544466, "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": "CO129-547-3 China Piracy- anti piracy guards 25-1-1934 - 3-12-1934", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-547-3 China Piracy- anti piracy guards 25-1-1934 - 3-12-1934", "content_text": "(b) An Officer on his staff to be able to speak English.\n\n(a) Four Companies of soldiers, each 100 strong to be stationed at the following places:-\n \n| Number | Place |\n|--------|-------|\n| (1) | Tam Shui |\n| (2) | Nin Shan |\n| (3) | Ping Hoi |\n| (4) | Taipan (near Mir's Bay) |\n\n16\n\n(d) Each Company to be equipped with W/T apparatus so as to be in touch with Ping Hoi, and each other, and the Chinese Gunboat.\n\n(e) Chinese Gunboat to patrol the coast\n\n(f) Coastguard force at Ping Hoi \"to remain\".\n\n(g) Arrangements to be made for inter-communication between British and Chinese.\n\n(h) A distinguishing flag or signal to be shown by Chinese Military Posts on approach of our Warships.\n\nThe duty of the Director will be to comb out the area for pirates and to intercept and follow up any pirates landing.\n\n4.\n\nAs the troops are now available it is hoped to establish these new posts at an early date.\n\nThe building of roads is in contemplation.

The total default in the service of this loan is now £1,386,419. 17. 4d.\n\nI venture once more to remind Your Excellency that by the provisions of Article 14 of the Loan Agreement the Chinese Government unconditionally promised to pay the principal and interest of the Loan on due dates, and I must again request that Your Excellency will make urgent representations to the government departments concerned with a view to the immediate adoption of effective measures, not only to prevent the continued increase of this great load of debt, but to reduce the amount now in arrears by payments from other sources if the earnings of the railway are insufficient for the purpose.\n\nI avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurance of my highest consideration.\n\n(SGD) ALEXANDER CADOGAN.\n\nHis Excellency\n\nMonsieur Wang Ching-wei,\n\nMinister for Foreign Affairs, &c.,\n\nNANKING.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-551-4 Canton-Kowloon Railway Working Agreement 16-11-1934 - 5-12-1935.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 547523, "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": "CO129-552-6 Traffic of arms to China 2-1-1935 - 27-12-1935", "page_number": 105, "title": "CO129-552-6 Traffic of arms to China 2-1-1935 - 27-12-1935", "content_text": "Applicant.\n\nMaterial.\n\nDestination.\n\nDate licence refused.\n\nReason for refusal.\n\n \n Vickers-Armstrong Ltd.\nVickers (Aviation) Ltd.\nI.C.I.

Base, Kai Tak.)\n\nANTI-PIRACY PATROLS BY AIRCRAFT.\n\n98\n\nSubmitted: The following is a copy of a letter received from the Officer Commanding, Royal Air Force Base, Kai Tak :-\n\n\"Anti-Piracy Patrols by Aircraft\n\n\"In connection with the above, it would be of considerable assistance to me if the type of duties pilots and observers may be called upon to perform could be elaborated. In the case of aircraft operating from Kai Tak I am very definitely of the opinion that most detailed orders should be given to the crews of aircraft, as I consider, and I venture to think you will agree with me, to order Pilots and Observers to act as they think fit and as circumstances of the situation require might not only lead to unforeseen calamities, but is placing too much responsibility on individual Pilots and Observers.\n\n2. I have made no official reply to this letter, which appears to raise questions of policy on which your ruling is necessary.\n\n3.\n\n4.\n\nGenerally, I consider the situation to be as follows:-\n\n(a) Aircraft are invaluable for searching for ships whose position is not known, and for guiding surface craft to the ships when found.\n\n(b) In a case where the pirates are making a getaway in either boats or junks, an aircraft would be of value in keeping touch and guiding the anti-piracy vessel to them.\n\n(c) When once pirates have landed, it is thought that little could be done since they would be difficult to pick out from other groups of Chinese unless they had taken European hostages with them. It does appear likely that another opportunity such as occurred in the case of the \"Shuntien\" is likely to present itself.\n\nI do not consider that aircraft will normally be able to take any direct action against a pirated ship, since the only course open is to machine gun or bomb the ship, causing danger to passengers and crew as well as to pirates or to threaten to do so, which will almost always be met by a counter-threat of killing or tormenting the Europeans on board and will therefore be of little avail.\n\n5. Receipt of this letter from the Officer Commanding, however, has again raised the question of the action to be taken by a destroyer encountering a pirated ship. At present, the orders on the subject are contained in your No.01634 of 8th October, 1934, issued in the full knowledge that most ships were poorly guarded and that the ship was in all probability in the hands of pirates, and therefore leaving the action to be taken in the hands of the Commanding Officer, subject to...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-553-3 Anti-piracy measures 7-3-1935 - 4-11-1935.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 550166, "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": "CO129-556-13 Traffic in arms to China 6-1-1936 - 13-1-1937", "page_number": 22, "title": "CO129-556-13 Traffic in arms to China 6-1-1936 - 13-1-1937", "content_text": "28 20 Hong Kong-bomb. _ 13 Aust. – Cons:\n\nZif To Fo.

I. Wynne-Jones at the Kowloon Magistracy, into the death of a 31-year-old ex-Queen's Army school mistress, Miss Mary MacGregor, who died of veronal poisoning at the Peninsula Hotel on January 9.\n\nOn hearing the verdict, which was returned after a retirement of seven minutes, the Coroner said, “I agree with you. On the evidence we have that is the only possible verdict.\"\n\nThe jury comprised Messrs. G. Milne (Foreman), C. Kew and A. C. Diercks.\n\nDetective-Sub-Inspector L. Whant was present for the police.\n\nCapt G. W. Grant, deposed that about 8:30 p.m. on January 8 a European female aged 31 years was brought to the Kowloon Hospital by Miss Dickson from the Peninsula Hotel. Her name was stated to be Miss Mary MacGregor.\n\nOn admission the patient was unconscious and could not be wakened in any way. There was no odour in her breath at all and her pupils did not suggest opium poisoning. Everything was done to revive the deceased but without effect. She died the following day (January 9) at 3:20 p.m. without recovering consciousness.\n\nWitness conducted a post-mortem examination on January 10. Examination of the organs was sent to the Government Analyst, and veronal was isolated. In witness's opinion, the cause of death was veronal poisoning.\n\nDr. A. J. Skinn, medical practitioner, deposed that on the evening of January 8 at 6:30 p.m. witness was called to room No. 247 at the Peninsula Hotel where he saw Miss MacGregor. She was in a state of deep coma. There was no external evidence of injury or violence.\n\nShe was lying quietly in bed and her pulse was normal. Her respiration was shallow.\n\nA letter addressed to the manager of the Hotel was handed to witness and he read it. The letter asked for forgiveness for any unpleasantness the deceased may have caused to the Hotel and requested that a letter addressed to the police and others be forwarded.\n\nWitness agreed that the symptoms coincided with poisoning by veronal. The maximum single dose of veronal was 15 grains, but if repeated it would most probably have accumulative action with fatal results.\n\nDuring the period witness had deceased in his care he gave her three injections of strychnine which was the normal procedure, and reported it to the Kowloon Hospital.\n\nChan at the Choi Ping, night boy at the Peninsula Hotel, deposed that on the evening of January 6 he saw deceased in her bedroom, and the following night about 9 p.m. he saw her again. She was writing in her bedroom and she asked witness to hang out a card on her door. The notice was \"Please do not disturb.\"\n\nLi Wing, bedroom boy of the Peninsula Hotel, stated that when he went on duty at 6 a.m. on January 8, he noticed the card on the door. About 3 p.m. that day a European lady looked at the notice and walked away.\n\nM. Prata, reception clerk, stated that shortly after 7 p.m. on January 7 the deceased went to his office and enquired about the delivery of letters. She appeared to be quite normal.\n\nMiss J. Dickson, nursing sister at the Peninsula Hotel, said that she was called to the deceased's room and found her lying in bed with her hands clasped. In her hands deceased held her father's memorial card.\n\nA. K. Dimond, manager of the Peninsula Hotel, deposed to receiving the letters from last witness. The letter addressed to the manager contained a $50 banknote.\n\nDetective-Sub-Inspector L. Whant stated that he made a search of the room, verandah, baggage and backyard but found nothing.\n\nDetective-Sergeant J. S. Riddell, testified that he took the contents from a waste paper basket and pasted together several letters.\n\nMrs. Marry Grey, of Palm Court Hotel, Nathan Road, stated that she met the deceased on the s.s. Chekiang on the trip from Tientsin to Hong Kong.\n\nWitness saw a lot of Miss MacGregor and they became very good friends. She told witness that she was on her way home to see her mother, and appeared to look forward to that.\n\nPage 46", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-556-5 Mary MacGregor- investigations into death 19-2-1936 - 20-5-1936.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 550656, "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": "CO129-556-6 Lt.-Com.

Schofield in answer to Mr. Peter H. Sin's plea at a previous hearing that his clients had no case to answer.\n\nMr. D. L. Strellet, of Messrs. G. K. Hall Brutton and Co., appeared for the prosecution.\n\nThe four fugitives who appeared before Mr. Schofield on Wednesday were Yu Lap-fai, Chan Chi-ping, Wu Tai-hoi and Cheung Chi-hon.\n\nOutlining his defence, Mr. Sin said that on the part of the first fugitive he will say that he never met Wong Ah-chui in Hong Kong, nor did he conspire with him or others, not in custody, to murder Marshal Chiang Kai-shek and Mr. Wang Ching-wei. If this mysterious person named Wong Ah-chui did conspire to murder these men, then he (first fugitive) was in no way to blame. He only met Wong Ah-san a few times. He was detained for 15 months on one occasion by Marshal Chiang Kai-shek owing to his subordinates causing a minor revolution and he (the first fugitive) being in command was blamed for the upheaval.\n\nHe will admit that he stayed at No. 10, Wing Hing Street where he shared a flat with a man named Chang. He then moved and stayed at No. 69, Shing Wo Road where Mr. Chang Yick-kin, the principal tenant, shared a flat with him. He had never met Wong Ah-chui nor had he any dealings with him.\n\nHe will submit to the Court that Wong Ah-chui was a person who held different political views from those of the Central Government, and thus because his extradition was sought, why should his (first fugitive's) also be sought? He will say that the evidence of Wong Ah-san was absolutely false. How Wong Ah-san came here, the first fugitive did not know, but there was a great deal behind these proceedings.\n\nThe second fugitive will say that he was a guest of the first fugitive and that he was a former member of the Executive Committee of the Seamen's Guild of Wo Hoo, Anhui Province. He came to Hong Kong and became the first fugitive's guest. He will also say that he never knew Wong Ah Chui nor had he conspired with him to murder the said statesmen as alleged.\n\nThe third fugitive will tell the court that he was formerly connected with General Mok Hung, then in command of the 88th Division, which division was connected with the Central Government. He was unemployed and came to Hong Kong to look for work. He was at one time a cook at Cheng Yick Kin's house at No. 69 Shing Wo Road and while he was thus employed, he was arrested. He had been asked by Mr. Cheng to carry certain documents to No. 92 Robinson Road and was asked to wait for him. He will also deny any suggestions of using a bomb in the Nanking outrage. In short, he had nothing to do with any conspiracy with Wong Ah-chui whom he had never met.\n\nThe fourth fugitive will deny point blank being related to Wong Ah-chui, or that his sister was married to him. At the time of his arrest, he was staying at No. 199 Wanchai Road. He had never met Wong Ah-chui or any of the other fugitives before he came to this court.\n\nAll the fugitives will say that the story as unfolded by Wong Ah-san was a fabricated one and will deny all the allegations in total.\n\nMr. Schofield said: Having consulted the cases quoted, I am satisfied that I am in no sense bound to dismiss this case nor am I in the position of a jury which has to be warned but which nevertheless can convict. That being so, there is evidence which raises a probable presumption of the fugitives' guilt and this is in fact my opinion. There is a case to answer.\n\nAfter the evidence of Cheung Kin-pui, translator of certain documents found on the third fugitive when arrested, the case was adjourned till today.\n\n## Page 864\nMay 22 \n24", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-559-5 Attempted assassination of Wong Ching-wei- proposed extradition of alleged accomplice 17-3-1936 - 15-5-1936.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 552692, "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": "CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937", "page_number": 13, "title": "CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937", "content_text": "## \nthe whole of its normal trade with Southern China \nwill be blocked.

Sir R.

The Railway has already been bombed but the latest telegram from Canton reports that the damage was slight and was repaired overnight.\n\nI note the F.O. ball and impending consignments with ... by rail.\n\nIt will be extremely difficult to convince the Japanese, on the information supplied by the O.A.G., that the volume of traffic in munitions over the Railway is inconsiderable. The Japanese will almost certainly want detailed figures not only for the past but for the future, and if this is supplied it may lead to further embarrassing requests for details of shipments and of particular consignments, including, possibly, even the time of their departure from Kowloon. To supply this would obviously be objectionable, since the Japanese could terminate the agreement when they wished and would be given an opportunity to bomb a particular valuable consignment since they would be supplied with all the information as to the time of its departure. Moreover, we have forbidden the use of British rolling stock for the transport of munitions over the Chinese section and the Chinese rolling stock would therefore be particularly liable to attack. If a state of war existed, it would probably be an unneutral act to supply this information to the Japanese.\n\nHowever, the F.O. think that the attempt is worth making and, after discussion with Mr. Gent, I attach", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 552883, "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": "CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937", "page_number": 204, "title": "CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937", "content_text": "# COPY FOR REGISTRATION\n\n## CYPHER TELEGRAM from the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n**Dated 27th September, 1937, Received 10.45 a.m. 27th September.**\n\n(61)\n\nNo.207.

If they think for a moment that China will bow to their aggression - an aggression that is now commonly accepted to be nothing less than brigandage with murder - then they shall be rudely awakened, because just as they are bent on going on until their objective is gained, so are the Chinese ready to fight to the last man, and Japan has already had in this present escapade more than one lesson of what can be accomplished in the way of defence by a China united as a body and united in soul.\n\nThe eyes of the world have long since become focussed on the Sino-Japanese conflict. It is true that the Press have also \"played up\" the Mediterranean question, the Spanish civil war, Palestine, the Nyon Conference, and the Hitler-Mussolini conversations in Berlin, but it is equally true that the main topic of conversation has been and still is the Far Eastern situation, and this because the whole of the civilised world has been shocked by what the Japanese are pleased to call their \"military operations.\"\n\nThe opinion is even held in some quarters that the necessity for world action might not even arise, as the anti-militarist factions in Japan are reported to be gaining in power to such an extent that the masters of Japan may very soon have to cry \"halt\" or they will be obliged to devote all their energies and attentions to maintaining peace and order inside their own country.\n\nJapan's object, it has been stated in columns, is to \"beat China to her knees.\" But since the Japanese appear to have at last awakened to the fact that every bomb dropped and every round fired only has the effect of bringing the Chinese more closely together, they are now about to embark on another phase of \"military operations.\" It has been rumoured that Japan may denounce the Nine-Power Treaty in order, it is presumed, to enable her to have liberty of action. That means that Japan must play a lone hand against the world if necessary, but to judge from the high feeling against them, it seems an extremely dangerous game for them to play.\n\nThe aerial attacks on innocent villagers in their defenceless hamlets and the bombing of refugee centres - that is practically the tone of the gallant Japanese attack.\n\nTo take the other view, it would be the best thing that can happen if all the great Powers combined in a perfectly peaceful economic war against Japan. Already the Japanese exporters are grumbling about the poor state of business. How can they hope to send any of their own goods abroad when every available ship is commandeered to carry troops to North China? For that is exactly the position in Japan to-day, and if the outside world refuses to trade with her, where will the Land of the Rising Sun be?\n\n## A Disgrace To The Colony\n\n(Continued from page 600) ...with heroin. It is for this very reason that the police must without further delay tackle this problem with the firmness it demands. On the face of it, there must be something tragically amiss with the Police Department or its officers if they fail to detect what other people are able to \"smell\" in Hong Kong streets.\n\nLet us state quite plainly that there is a strong feeling among those who have made it their business to probe deeply into this matter, that the position is a scandalous and a shocking disgrace to the British administration of this Colony.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\n601\n\n| Page Number | \n| --- | \n| 96 | \n\nH.M.S.

It has, as was forecast from the moment the assault on Shanghai was launched, become a war of major proportions and the repercussions must be as far-reaching as they are gigantic and dynamic.\n\nSuch was the thoroughness of the Japanese propaganda that it is a well-known fact that the Powers with interests in the Pacific had come to really believe that Japan's might was as great as her propagandists claimed it to be. It was left to China to put Japan to the test, and after more than three months of war—whether 'declared' or 'undeclared' is immaterial—the Japanese have not done much more than take a few villages by surprise and bomb cities of absolutely no strategic importance, leaving in their trail a combination of spectacles which can only be likened to a shambles in an earthquake. As far as Japan is concerned, it can surely be asserted that the world at large feels a sense of nausea at the very unedifying display of sheer brute force which has characterized Japan's contribution to twentieth-century civilization.\n\nHaving had ample opportunity for realizing, without appreciating, the perfidy of Japan, the great Powers are now taking not only a keen but a lively interest in the trend of Sino-Japanese affairs. Much may reasonably be expected to eventuate during the next seven days, and doubtless Japan is not the least anxious of the anxious nations of the world.\n\nOutside the East, it is significant that individuals and organizations have taken the lead before their respective Governments even contemplated taking that sort of action which is limited to academic discussions. It was several weeks ago in these columns that we offered the opinion that it mattered little what Governments thought because it was the will of the mass of the people which alone would decide what final action the Governments would take. When we wrote thus, we had practically only the pious resolutions of humanitarian organizations upon which to base our premise. Since then, notably within the past week, there have come messages from Britain, the United States of America, India, Australia, and New Zealand of the workers having flatly refused to handle goods which were believed—only believed, mark you—to be destined for Japan.\n\nThat is good. It is as it should be, and we for our part hope that this splendid lead given by the workers will be followed throughout the communities in the matter of boycotting Japanese goods and cargo. As in those countries which we have named, the people elect their own Governments, there can be little doubt as to what action those Governments will take if Japan persists in her present unreasonable and irrational policy.\n\nMeanwhile, the Far East is suffering as never before. All those years of very arduous labour which have gone to the establishing of great commercial connections have, almost overnight, been severed, and in terms of wealth, millions have been cut adrift and in terms of humanity, thousands have been ruined. Many such are just waiting for what they term \"the tide to turn\" before returning to Shanghai and other parts in the North, they having great faith in the recuperative powers of those areas. But how long will they have to wait? And whilst they are waiting, Japan is wreaking more and more havoc.\n\n(Continued on page 603)\n\n## DECIDING BEFORE THE COURT MEETS\n\n(Daily Press, October 25, 1937)\n\nIt was President Wilson who introduced what he was pleased to term \"the new diplomacy.\" By that was meant, in a word, that the old order of conducting negotiations between nations by means of underground wires and underhand methods had ceased to exist. In future, everything was to be done in an above-board, honourable, frank, and fearless manner according to the accepted principles of proper conduct based upon an ethical code of unimpeachable virtue.\n\nThis system seemed so good that the world enthusiastically accorded wholehearted support to it and its propounder. However, moderate cynicism is the first attribute of a great critic, and it was the greatly gifted Lord Asquith who wrote this steadying commentary on the supposedly changed order of things, \"The old diplomacy may be dead, but the old diplomats still live.\"\n\nJudging by the happenings in diplomatic circles during the past twenty-four hours, it would appear that the old diplomats are perpetual if not quite immortal. Lord Asquith was deplorably correct, and the masses of the world, so gloriously blind in their enthusiasms for reforms which have their inception in honour and truth and so childlike in the faith they repose in their leaders, were doomed to yet another cruel disillusionment. To-day, we are being treated to a demonstration of international infidelity sufficient to make even a hardened cynic blush. Apparently, even those who have, with a moral recklessness that is truly bewildering, dedicated their lives to the Moloch ways of secret diplomacy of the old and wicked order, have found it impossible, thanks to a vigilant Press, to keep their nefarious schemes from the peoples of the world, and it is common knowledge that, even before the vital Nine-Power Treaty Conference is held in Brussels next Saturday, herculean efforts are being made by certain nations to make the decision before the court sits.\n\nFor unalloyed unmorality, there is nothing to equal such conduct in modern times. One has to go away back to those distant and dismal days of Mediaevalism when the Borgias held sway to find anything even remotely resembling such deceit and conceit. It has been freely stated in the Press of the world that Italy, Germany, and Japan, regardless of the outcome of this conference to be held in Brussels and which is charged with such dynamic importance to the world and its peoples, have tacitly agreed to stand shoulder to shoulder to resist the advance of what is known as the Popular Front.\n\nThus far, nothing more definite than a series of suspiciously similar rumours have emanated from the chancellories, but the goings and comings of Ambassadors, at this particularly tragic stage in the world's history, cannot be without significance. Anything more preposterous than an alliance between Western Powers to support the ghastly policy of aggression so frightfully prosecuted by Japan against peace-loving China would be impossible to imagine.\n\nTo us, the significant point is that, no matter what may be said in favour of round-table conferences of the nations, such Conferences are worse than worthless—they are extravagances of the most prodigal character—if certain nations are to be permitted to take their places at such conferences when it is well known that beforehand they have made their decision and \"counted the heads.\" With things moving as they are at present, this is surely the time for those great Powers which have vital interests in the Pacific to snap out of their academic lethargy and get right down to practical facts.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\n603\n\n(Continued from page 602)\n\nTo us, it appears quite clear that it is not Japan's intention to desist until her merciless depredations of civilian life and property have given her an over-lordship of a very large portion of North China. That day shall never dawn if China stands true to herself. But the more this unprovoked but premeditated attack on China continues, Japan is furthering her scheme for crippling the Far East and then plundering one of the richest areas on the earth's surface.\n\nOne point, however, Japan seems to have completely overlooked. In the prosecution of this crippling campaign, Japan must cripple herself.\n\nIt is such madness which makes the brain reel! China will not surrender. Japan seems impotent to advance. The other Powers have slowly but surely swung-in behind China. Perhaps if a concerted effort were made now to bring Japan to a sense of her criminal folly, then the Far East would be spared the horror and worthlessness of this crippling policy—and even Japan might be saved from herself.\n\nA Japanese bomber on the Canton River after being shot down.

Fu \n\nThe Hong Kong Chinese Medical Association were hosts at a reception given at the Chinese Merchants' Club on Oct. 22 in honour of Drs. W. S. Fu and C. Y. Wu, of Shanghai. Dr. Li Shu-pui, president of the Association, welcomed the guests on behalf of his colleagues, and there were also present Dr. Wu Lien-teh, the famous plague prevention expert and Director of the Chinese National Quarantine Service, the Hon. Dr. Li Shu-fan, and Drs. Ma Luk, W. K. Fok, Arthur W. Woo, Chau Wai-cheung, F. I. Tseung, Edward Sun, Eva Ho Tung, S. N. Chau, T. C. Wong, T. Y. Li, S. F. Cheung, Y. K. Wong, L. S. Shin, K. C. Cheng, C. W. Lam, P. I. Chan, K. D. Ling, N. P. Karanjia, K. T. Loke, H. C. Tan, K. F. Ko, Y. Y. Tang, K. C. Cheam, and K. L. Cheung.\n\nThe Chairman said: On behalf of the members of the Association, I take great pleasure in welcoming two well-known doctors here this afternoon.\n\nDr. W. S. Fu, as you know, is the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Chinese Medical Association of Shanghai, but you may also be interested to know that he is also Chairman of the Medical Relief Committee of the Association, of the Medical Supply Committee, Medical Supply Department, of the Shanghai Emergency Medical Relief Committee, and Chairman of the Medical Supply Department of the International Red Cross Committee in Shanghai.\n\nHis experiences in Shanghai will be needed in Hong Kong for guidance in our future work of medical relief amongst soldiers and the civilian population.\n\nDr. C. Y. Wu is no stranger amongst us. A distinguished graduate of the University of Hong Kong, his work on preventive medicine has benefited China a good deal. Now he is staying in Hong Kong to represent Dr. J. Heng Liu of the Ministry of Health and also head of the Chinese Red Cross. While he is here, I am sure we shall do our best to assist him in whatever way he desires. (Applause).\n\n### PRESENT CRISIS \n\nDr. Fu, called upon to address the meeting, gave an illuminating and informative account of medical relief conditions since the beginning of the crisis. He said that the war was thrown upon China all so suddenly that the Shanghai profession found itself quite unprepared to cope with the large number of casualties both amongst soldiers and the civilian population.\n\nThe first few days after the outbreak at Shanghai were days of hard work and feverish activity in the organising of emergency hospitals in the Settlement. They had more or less overcome the initial difficulties when at 4 p.m. on August 14, now generally known as 'Bloody Saturday,' bombs landed near the Palace Hotel and also on Avenue Edward VII. There were over 1,500 civilians wounded, apart from the dead, which number completely filled up the emergency hospitals as well as the regular centres. They certainly had a lot on their hands, and the situation was made worse by the closing of the shops, which made the procuring of medical supplies practically impossible.\n\n#### PLANS FOR RELIEF WORK \n\nSubsequently, members of the profession had got together and made certain plans for the work of relief. The general character of how medical relief was being undertaken in Shanghai since then had been: (1) caring for the wounded soldiers; (2) caring for the wounded civilians; (3) caring for the war refugees; (4) the combating of epidemics; and (5) the collection and distribution of medical supplies.\n\nIn the beginning, it was rather difficult to get the wounded soldiers into the Settlement. They found that only those soldiers wounded in the upper body, that is to say those that could walk, came for treatment; there were wounded soldiers lying in the areas of fighting who could not help themselves, and the Red Cross stretcher teams got them in only after much delay and difficulty.\n\nRelief work was more centralized now, and the task had been made easier.\n\n#### SUFFICIENT DOCTORS \n\nDr. Fu said that there were at present sufficient doctors and surgeons in Shanghai. There was a scheme, however, to send the wounded soldiers to base hospitals away from Shanghai, in which case more Chinese doctors would be required as those in Shanghai would be needed at the base hospitals. In this matter, the foreign doctors in Shanghai had agreed to conduct the relief work in the Settlement to the utmost extent possible.\n\n#### NO SHELL-SHOCK CASE \n\nThe speaker said that it might interest people to know that though the Chinese soldiers suffered sometimes from many things, not one case of shell-shock had yet been reported. The Chinese soldiers, he said, were not afraid of bomb or shell, but they did not like dirty water, mosquitoes, and the food.\n\nThe food problem had been a serious one, and had engaged the attention of the Government as well as those undertaking medical relief. Chinese nutrition experts had now perfected a biscuit, which had been approved by Nanking, 15 of which as constituting the diet for one day would be sufficient to produce over 2000 calories in food value.\n\nGauze and bandages are now being produced by Chinese cotton mills in Shanghai, and in this respect, they were self-sufficient. They were short of ether, alcohol, morphia, and anti-tetanus vaccine, said Dr. Fu.\n\n#### COST OF WORK \n\nGiving an idea of the cost of the relief work, the speaker said that the initial cost of a bed was about $20 and the maintenance was 67 cents per day.\n\nThe problem of medical relief for the refugees was largely being undertaken by the Shanghai Municipal Council Health Department, whose doctors were giving every possible attention to the various refugee camps. A hospital for the care of refugee children had just been opened.\n\nThe Chinese Medical Association was empowered to receive actual medical supplies and donations, said Dr. Fu. A plan had been evolved and approved by the National Government, whereby donors of medical supplies and of money handed in to the Association would be given in return the equivalent of their valuable help in National Salvation Bonds. Hong Kong, he suggested, might start a drive in this way to assist the suffering soldiers and others.\n\n#### ACUTE PROBLEM \n\nDr. Fu emphasized in conclusion that the problem was an acute one, and would become even more so as the war went on, and he appealed to all Chinese in Hong Kong and friends of China to help in the humane work that was being carried on. He also appealed to all Chinese doctors to volunteer their aid. It was, he said, very encouraging to see how much Hong Kong had done in the way of medical relief, but he hoped that greater assistance would be forthcoming.\n\nDr. C. Y. Wu, who is a nephew of Dr. Wu Lien-teh, then recounted his experiences during a train journey to Nanking while Japanese were bombing the country along the railway line.\n\nIt struck him as most impressive that the Chinese soldier today was different from his brother in the past. He met some wounded Cantonese soldiers on the train, and the change in their spirit and discipline was wonderful.\n\n#### FOOD PROBLEM \n\nDr. Wu laid great emphasis on the food problem amongst the refugees. He said that the food now consisted of two bowls of plain rice each day, with perhaps a little salted turnip. This diet prolonged over a long period would produce beri-beri and other diseases, and would be most harmful. He hoped that the biscuit mentioned by Dr. Fu might solve the problem, for they might later, if the war continued indefinitely, have to draw on the refugees to serve as soldiers, and it was therefore essential that they should be fit. He reminded the gathering that amongst other things, clothes for refugees were urgently needed now that winter was approaching. He appealed to all for gifts of clothing, which could be distributed where they were most needed.\n\nNews of three Hong Kong doctors who had volunteered their service was supplied by the Chairman, who said that Drs. S. C. Ho and Li Ho-tien were now with the 4th Route Army (Cantonese) at the front, whilst Dr. L. Sung was with the 23rd Emergency Hospital in Shanghai.\n\nOctober 29, 1937 \n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n627 \n\n### MEDICAL RELIEF WORK IN CHINA WAR \n\n...\n\n### If Gossip We Must \n\n#### (BY ELSPETH)\n\nDear Kate,\n\n... having mixed up my voice for several months in querulous plaint against one Hong Kong climate, I now must eat my words and agree with the residents that October, and I believe November and December weather, can compensate one for typhoons, steam, and any other Act of God. The sudden tang in the air last week sent us all flying prematurely, as it proved, to fur-lined coats and furs. How lovely to push one's tired and limp summer wardrobe into the background and blossom forth in something fresh.\n\nThe cocktail party given by the Deep Water Bay residents was one of the first occasions for the airing of cool weather clothes. The setting for this lovely party was a veritable dream. The sea comes right up to the garden wall, and the moon and fairy lights did all they could to convince nostalgic Shanghai-ites that what Hong Kong loses on the night clubs she makes up on the view. Every lovely person in Hong Kong seemed to have been bidden and to have come.\n\nI saw pretty Mrs. Whitham looking exquisitely soignee in a long tunic of dull metallic brocade. Mrs. Reis Evans clung to white—a colour which suits her admirably. Mrs. Neale, another attractive person, came in something slim and dark. As I arrived late and had to dash on to a dinner party on the Peak, I had no time to do much other than to gasp at the view, swallow an excellent cocktail, and make my regretful adieu.\n\nAgain, I had to drag myself away before I had nearly enough time to enjoy the gay and cosmopolitan crowd with which this popular young couple have already surrounded themselves.\n\nOn Saturday night, after a delightful dinner on the Peak, we betook ourselves to the Grips to dance. The place was packed to capacity, and if our thoughtful hostess had not booked a table well in advance, we should have had either to sit on the stairs or to invade the sacred mysteries of Bessie's Bar. I saw the lovely Mrs. Hobkirk dancing with her tall, good-looking husband. Miss Judith Smith, in a printed dress, was in a coterie which included the Countess de Courseulles and her sister, Miss Chieri. At the same party, we also saw Mrs. McAvoy and her husband and Miss Gerrard. Miss Pestonji was wearing petunia effectively. I saw Mrs. Crokham looking lovely in a graceful printed dress dancing with Mr. Jack Macgregor, who has just come back from Shanghai.\n\nThe amusing entertainers Mahon and Rucker were doing an energetic turn vaguely reminiscent of the circus as we arrived, and I could not but applaud the fortitude of Miss Rucker on the repeated occasions when she was hurled through the air, and then the floor skidded about in a highly painful manner. The panther trainer cracked his whip in a realistic manner rather trying to shell-shocked ears. I saw Mr. Lawrence Kadoorie dancing with Miss Gubbay, who looked charming in white.\n\nThe southern side of the Island drew us all again on Thursday to the Lido for the cocktail party given by the newly married Delaneys. What an asset they are to the community, and how welcoming was the atmosphere of American hospitality which engulfed one on arrival. Mrs. Delaney welcomed her guests in a lovely cocktail tunic of taffeta worn over a slender black skirt. Mrs. Donovan looked delightful in a dark dress and black hat. Mrs. Abbott was wearing something gay and rather South American in colouring.\n\nThe crush was enormous, and not half enough people took advantage of the Terrace to allow me to view the lovely clothes. One lovely person was in pink with masses of white fox fur.\n\nMy dear Kate, my pen has run away with me. I must gird up my loins and flee to Shek-O to bang a golf-ball about.\n\nLove,\nELSPETH,\n\n122", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-17 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping.

According to military intelligence received here to-day, 1,000 Japanese attached to artillery units left Tientsin to-day for Yangliuching, about 20 miles west of Tientsin.\n\nShanghai, Sept. 1. A message from Tokyo states that a full inquiry into the objectives of Japan's action in China, and clarification of the Government's purpose was recommended at a meeting of the Seiyukai (Conservative) Party by three of its leaders.\n\nEight leaders urged that the party make its aims in China more precisely known and establish a firmly-defined objective.\n\nAnother detachment of the Kwangtung Army arrived in Tientsin to-day and are being billeted in the Palitan barracks. Central News.\n\nNERVOUSNESS IN SOUTH AT FEAR OF AIR RAIDS\n\nMORE REINFORCEMENTS\n\nMain interest in the Shanghai war is centred on the fighting on the Woosung-Liuho front, where the Japanese officially claim the occupation of Lion Forest Forts on the coast about 10 miles beyond Woosung.\n\nThere was heavy fighting at Liuho and Woosung yesterday, when the Chinese launched a counter-attack against the Japanese at Lotien. Chinese reports say that a Japanese attempt to take Paoshan, north of the Woosung fort, was repulsed after a severe engagement in which hundreds of the invaders were killed.\n\nFive Japanese transports and a supply ship arrived at the Japanese wharves in the eastern district of the International Settlement on Wednesday night and landed men and material in darkness.

He predicts that all the $500,000,000 Liberty Bonds will be taken up within three months.\n\nBaulked by the Tientsin Consular Body in their attempt to take over the Chinese telegraph service in Tientsin, the Japanese military authorities have established their own cable service connecting Peiping and Manchukuo.\n\nThere is still much nervousness in Canton, Fukien and Kiangsi regarding possible Japanese air raids. The Canton Government has ordered all passage-towboats, launches and motor boats to avoid the bund and to anchor in the inner harbour near the foreign gunboats.\n\nThe Japanese and Chinese lines within the Settlement war zone remained unchanged yesterday despite occasional and severe exchange of fire in various sectors.\n\nTWO FOREIGNERS SHOT\n\nShanghai, Sept. 1 (9 p.m.). Crack Chinese troops are now pouring into Yuehpu, a small town about a mile and half north-west of Liuying Bridge, Road in Chapei.-Central News.\n\nDesperate Battle\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (4 p.m.). Fighting Spreads\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2. Japanese troops were landed at the Jukong Wharf early yesterday morning, deploying out in a wide area. Fighting broke out immediately in the vicinity.\n\nAt 6 o'clock in the morning, a detachment of Japanese attacked Chinese entrenched at the Far Eastern Race Course, a mile west of the Jukong Wharf. The attack was intended to cover operations by a Japanese engineering corps to bridge the creeks at Kuanyinchai and Wang-chiachai nearby, but when the Chinese discovered their ruse, promptly shifted their positions and commenced a brisk fire in the new region, foiling all attempts to build the bridges.\n\nA party of Japanese advanced on Luchiachai, about half a mile north of the International Settlement boundary near the riverfront late in the morning. The Chinese troops stationed there withheld fire until the Japanese had moved unsuspectingly into a semicircle of Chinese troops, at which time the Chinese opened fire from all sides, killing a large number and forcing the remnants of the Japanese party to disperse.\n\nAt about the same time, another party of Japanese attacked the Chinese lines at Kuanyintang, about 1,000 yards south-west of the Jukong Wharf, but the Chinese held firm and forced the attackers to retire after a short skirmish.\n\nFollowing the landing of Japanese regulars who have taken over the Yangtsepoo area yesterday, the marines who have been holding Japanese positions in the area have been shifted to the Hongkew sector.-Central News.\n\nChinese Concentration\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (11.20 a.m.). A Japanese spokesman said the Japanese had silenced the Chinese shelling of Hongkew from Chapei.\n\nThe Japanese dropped nine shells within half an hour on Paoshan Road in Chapei district, where it is reported there is a Chinese concentration following the arrival of heavy reinforcements.

Japanese troop movements to North China have been virtually completed, the leaders believing them strong enough for any exigency.\n\nThe number of Japanese forces in North China is estimated at 120,000, and is possibly more.\n\nThe suspension of reinforcements has eased the tension in the concessions where Japanese conduct has caused frequent protests.\n\nThe British concession is strengthening the outer barricades despite Japanese assurances that troops will avoid the British concession.\n\nFIGHT TO THE END\n\nTIENTSIN\n\nJapanese Establish Their Own Cable Line\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2. \"Christian General\" Visits the Front\n\nLEADERS CONFIDENT\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (4.11 a.m.). A visitor to the Chinese front line yesterday was Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang, the \"Christian General\" and vice-Chairman of the National Military Affairs Commission in Nanking.\n\nHe told interviewers that the Chinese would fight to the bitter end for the sake of world peace and China's own existence. He paid a tribute to the Chinese commanders, who he said were mindful only of their \"divine duties.\"\n\nA Bitter Struggle\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (3.37 p.m.). In an interview, Mr. T. V. Soong said that China is doomed to a long and bitter struggle, but he predicted that she will eventually be victorious.\n\nHe said peace will come when Japan realises that she is in a lane that has no turning. \"Even before the war, Japan's finances were tottering from the burdens of militarism. Her huge expenditures now merely accelerate the inevitable. She is destined to find China a morass in which the Japanese armies will sink the further they drive inland.\"-Reuter.\n\nPEIPING POSITION\n\nJapanese Putting Up New Gun Emplacements\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2.

A bitter land, sea and air battle is being waged at Paoshan, known as the world's smallest walled city, where the gallant Chinese garrison, although cut off from other Chinese lines in and around Shanghai, has withstood for 10 hours the troops where needed.-United Press.\n\nBig Push Imminent\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (4.11 a.m.). The setting for Japan's prospective big push on all fronts in the Shanghai and Woosung and Woosung areas is being completed.\n\nYesterday's fighting, though severe, was regarded only as a curtain raiser.-Reuter.\n\nPaoshan Not Captured\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (10.29 a.m.). The Chinese admit the loss of Woosung village, but deny that the Japanese have captured Paoshan\n\nReuter.\n\nHeavy Japanese Casualties\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2. The 2,000 Japanese troops who landed in the vicinity of Woosung Fort yesterday made a frantic attempt to take Paoshan, but were repulsed after a severe engagement.

(4.11 a.m.).\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (7.30 p.m.)\n\nChinese quarters regard the disembarkation of Japanese troops in the eastern district of the Settlement as a confession of poor success at attending the landing operations on the Liuho-Woosung coastline and assert that the presence of the Japanese troops is final confirmation that the Japanese are using the Settlement as a base of operations.\n\nBesides munitions and other war material the Japanese also landed in this section of the Settlement four and six-inch guns mounted on caterpillars.-Reuter.\n\nThree Japanese Divisions\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2. Three Japanese divisions, representing the crack troops of the Japanese Army, have arrived in Shanghai during the last few days, it was revealed to-day.-Central News.\n\nPush Towards Lotien\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (11.20 am.). A Japanese military spokesman said that the Chinese were attempting retaliation. However, the Japanese repulsed them.\n\nManchukuo Troops\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (11.20 a.m.). A Japanese spokesman said that Japanese troops were landing daily in Shanghai and its vicinity. He denied the presence of Manchukuans.\n\nBOMBERS IN ACTION\n\nSpectacular Japanese navy and air forces were fiercely attacking Paoshan, which the advance guard reached yesterday.-United Press.\n\nSevere Engagement\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (4.07 p.m.). Heavy fighting is reported at Liuho and Woosung to-day when the Chinese launched a counter-attack against the Japanese at Lotien. They met with resistance from the air, land and sea.\n\nAt Nightfall\n\nUnloading in Darkness\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (4.07 p.m.). During the night five Japanese transports and one supply ship arrived at the Japanese wharves in the eastern district of the International Settlement and unloaded men and material in darkness.-Reuter.\n\nPOOTUNG SHELLED\n\nChinese Artillery Duel With Warships\n\nShnghai, Sept. 2 (4.11 a.m.). Warfare has laid Woosung in ruins. Among the buildings demolished are the Tung Chi University, run by Germans for Chinese students, and the American mortgaged Wing On Cotton mills, owned by British and Australian-born Chinese.\n\nThe bombing of the Tung Chi University was so intensive that even bomb proof dug-outs had to be evacuated.\n\nReuter.\n\nUNIVERSITY DAMAGE\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (7.10 p.m.). Chinese official sources state that the Japanese bombing of Tungchi University at Woosung has caused damage to the extent of $10,000,000 Shanghai currency.\n\nPeiping despatches reported that American marines have been assigned to protect the Yenching University, 10 miles from Peiping, which is closely linked with Harvard.--United Press.\n\nTALES OF HEROISM\n\nJapanese Slaughtered By Big Sword Corps\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (10.29 a.m.) Both sides recount stirring tales of heroism in yesterday's fighting in the Shanghai area. The Chinese say many Japanese were slaughtered by parties of troops who make sorties in the night with their famous big swords-Reuter.\n\nSESSION POSTPONED\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (7 p.m.). Amidst gorgeous, yet most ominous sunset skies, red splashed behind black clouds washing back from the Hongkong typhoon, four Japanese bombers gave Shanghai spectacular good-night when they carried out a reconnaissance on the Shanghai front, after which in rapid succession they power dived over the Markham Road railway yards, dropping 11 bombs, each of which flashed red amidst the smoke and debris, setting a long string of conflagrations which lit up the black night already aflame by a line of fires half a mile at Yangtszepoo.\n\nThe Shanghai fires eclipsed in brilliance, the flames illuminating Lotien, Liusong, Woosung, Paoshan and Lion Forest Forts.-United Press.\n\nShipping Precaution\n\nYesterday government ordered all the passage-boats, launches and large motor vessels to leave the Bund. They are now in the inner harbour. Thus they are all in close proximity to the foreign gunboats, and the Bund is not so likely to be bombed, which would be sure to cause great loss of life. Our Own Correspondent.\n\nRAID OVER KIANGSI\n\nJapanese Bomb Misses Telegraph Office\n\nCanton, Sept. 1. After finishing their work in Canton the Japanese planes made for Pingyuan in Kiangsi.

It is reported that a bomb was dropped from a Japanese airplane flying over Au-tau, at the head of Bias Bay, fifty or more miles from Waichow. Yesterday, it is further rumoured that Waichow is one of the several places to be attacked from the air, which of course causes much uneasiness. Quite a number of women and children have previously retired to the village and others are leaving the city pursuant to these unfavourable reports.\n\nCHANGE OF VIEWPOINT\n\nThe motives which urged the Japanese to take advantage of the Lukouchiao and Shanghai incidents to start the present war are explained by a competent observer, Mr. E. M. Gull, in a letter to the Manchester Guardian. He says:\n\nSir, May I begin this letter, which I have been wanting to write for some time, by congratulating the Manchester Guardian on its presentation and treatment of the conflict between China and Japan? It needed real knowledge and insight to see and considerable courage to declare, as you did in your issue of July 13, that \"there is every reason to believe that, should the Japanese go forward, political necessity as well as his personal inclination will force General Chiang Kai-shek to fight at last.\" You were, I felt convinced, absolutely right, and so too, I thought, had been your correspondent in Nanking in the admirable messages which he had been sending to you.\n\nBucharest, Sept. 1. Members of the Little Entente have issued a communique on their policy, which is based on the same principles as the United States.\n\nMost observers in England, among them persons who had recently been in China, thought that China would not fight—not, some said, in any circumstances, and among them were men for whose respect I had a high regard.\n\nWashington, Sept. 1. Asked whether the United States and Britain contemplated further joint action in the Sino-Japanese crisis, Mr. Bingham replied that any statement would have to come from the Department of State.\n\nReports that British and American naval commanders at Shanghai were discussing the possibility of convoys to escort vessels were treated with circumspection by the Department of State, which takes the view that such a step would require Mr. Roosevelt's approval.—Reuter.\n\nTension Relieved\n\nUpon its presentation and treatment of the Far Eastern crisis \"to some extent.\"\n\nIt is expected that American cargo and passenger ships will be permitted to enter freely into Chinese waters soon, but Mr. Roper added that the American Government had to proceed upon a daily, and nigh an hourly basis, dependent on developments as they occurred.—Reuter.\n\nChinese Make Amends\n\nWashington, Sept. 2. The State Department has announced that the American Ambassador to China, Mr. N. T. Johnson, has cabled advising that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has officially apologised in connection with the mistaken bombing of President Hoover and made amends.—United Press.\n\nBritish Co-operation\n\nShanghai, Sept. 2 (7 p.m.). Admiral Yarnell, interviewed by Reuter, expressed his appreciation of British co-operation in the present difficulties. He stated that he was conferring with Vice-Admiral Little frequently on questions of common interest, keeping the river open to navigation, and he described the help given by H.M.S. Cumberland to the United States supply ship Gold Star as a sterling example of Anglo-American co-operation.\n\nThe Basic Facts\n\nI say all this not by way of sending you an agreeable letter but because it enables me to state what I conceive to be the basic facts in the present situation. First, the Chinese are not temperamentally fighters, and they have a moral and intellectual antipathy to violence. The commonest coolie will describe as \"too fierce\" the threatening, blustering type of person, and once that has been said three or four times of a man, he is marked as inferior \"for keeps.\" But what the Chinese feel today transcends this constitutional dislike. They feel that unless they fight Japan, they will become a second-rate people, dominated by an inferiority complex, under the influence of which they could accomplish none of the tasks which they know must be undertaken and completed before they can rank again as a first-rate people.\n\nThe communique states that the development of the economic and political relations with the Danubian countries is increasingly hopeful.\n\nThe communique praises M. Paul Van Zeeland's efforts for international economic accord.—United Press.\n\nETHIOPIAN CONQUEST\n\nBelgrade, Sept. 1. Semi-officially, the newspaper Vreme reported that members of the Bucharest conference agreed that the question of recognising the Italian conquest of Ethiopia should be liquidated as soon as possible.\n\nIt is believed that members of the Little Entente are ready to originate a common move for the recognition of the conquest, and eliminating the subject from further European consideration.—United Press.\n\nHAILED IN FRANCE\n\nParis, Sept. 1. The country has hailed the results of the conference at Bucharest as the greatest victory of French foreign policy since Herr Adolf Hitler's policy changed the international line-up.\n\nAttention has been drawn to the communique, which endorses every principle of French foreign policy. It is said that the \"Hands-off Spain\" policy adopted at Bucharest is a direct blow to the Italo-German interference doctrine that in the civil war is justifiable because of the danger of the establishment of an extreme Leftist regime in Spain.—United Press.\n\nOPIUM PROBLEM\n\nCase of the British Colonies\nFUTURE CONTROL POINT\nA plea for the closest co-operation between the United States and this country in regard to the opium traffic was made at a gathering in Westminster by Mrs. Howell Morrhead, of the Foreign Policy Association, U.S.A., who for twenty-two years has been making a close study of the opium problem, discussing it with experts in many countries, and watching the work of the League of Nations Opium Advisory Committee.\n\nMrs. Moorhead spoke of a conference that would be held at Geneva in about two years, a conference of plenipotentiaries of the various Governments, to consider the drafting of a treaty to limit the supply of raw materials to the needs of doctors and scientists.\n\nMedical and scientific needs are already known, but to arrive at the world requirements of raw material, the League must also know the amount of raw material required by the opium-smoking monopolies and how long that need is to continue.\n\nIt should therefore also know what policy Great Britain intended to pursue in regard to such of her colonies as still allow opium-smoking. In some of those colonies, there are only a few—the smoker is registered but not rationed; in some, he is rationed, and in some, the registered list is closed, though new names may be added on medical authority.\n\nMrs. Moorhead, who made it clear that she was not speaking for her Government, said that the one point at issue between opinion in the United States and in Great Britain was the indefinite continuation of the opium-smoking monopolies in certain British colonies.\n\nAPPEAL TO MAYOR\n\nSan Francisco, Sept. 1. Teamsters throttled waterfront longshoremen's gangs attempting to unload ships here today, and cargoes are not leaving the docks.\n\nIn Clashes\n\nJerusalem, Sept. 1. Four more persons were killed today as a result of clashes between Arabs and Jews.\n\nJewish leaders have issued a proclamation in similar terms used by the Arab Higher Committee yesterday, urging their people to keep calm. Police and aircraft are standing by for emergencies.—Reuter Bulletin.\n\nMartial Law Threat\n\nA spokesman for the shippers asserted: \"Outbound ships will soon be without cargoes. All shipping will be badly crippled. We are not party to the dispute but are watching developments closely.\n\nJerusalem, Sept. 1. Two more Arabs have been shot to death. The toll for the 72 hours is seven Arabs and three Jews. The British authorities have threatened martial law.—United Press.\n\nAppeal to Mayor\n\nArab Killed\n\nJerusalem, Sept. 2. Shots were fired at the British High Commissioner's summer camp today, killing an Arab constable.\n\nSan Francisco, Sept. 1. Seventy-five women, mostly the wives of longshoremen, some leading and others carrying children, marched to the offices of the Mayor, Mr. Angelo J. Rossi, and appealed to him to terminate the embargo.—United Press.\n\nThe High Commissioner is at present residing there.—Reuter Bulletin.\n\nThe meeting agreed that the problem of Hongkong, where the control system has broken down, would require separate consideration.\n\nAMOY MAYOR QUITS\n\nAmoy, Sept. 2. Mr. Li Shih-lin, the mayor of Amoy, resigned today. It is reported that Mr. Kao Han-chiu will be appointed to succeed Mr. Li.—Central News.\n\nThe Canton-Hankow Railway has now resumed its regular service, which was lately interrupted by flood in Hunan, says the Canton Gazette.

My Lord,\n\nCopy No. 42\n\nSir R. Craigie to Viscount Halifax.—(Received August 8.)\n\nTokyo, July 13, 1938. WITH reference to my despatch No. 402 of the 16th June, I have the honour to report that during the past month the vernacular press has continued to find fault with the attitude of France towards the Sino-Japanese conflict.\n\n2. The Kokumin, to an outspoken article in which I alluded in my despatch under reference, has on several occasions returned to the attack, and in a leading article appearing in its issue of the 23rd June declared that it was impossible to take at their face value French denials that arms were being sent to Yunnan Province via French Indo-China. No amount of argument put forth by the French Government would alter the fact that war materials from France were reaching China in this way, and it was impossible to believe that this was going on without the knowledge of the authorities in Paris. The attitude of France towards the conflict in which Japan was engaged was reminiscent of the attitude she adopted, together with Germany and Russia, at the close of the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-95, when the three Powers intervened to rob her of the fruits of victory. This attitude was most regrettable, especially in view of the fact that France and Japan had been allies in the Great War. Again, on the 29th June, the same paper challenged the French Government to deny a report that France was about to lend 150 million francs to China for the purpose of constructing a railway. It was contrary to the principles of humanity to help the régime of General Chiang Kai-shek in this way to prolong its struggle against Japan, and aid rendered to China was more to be deplored than air attacks on Canton. The loan agreement was unmistakable evidence that France intended to stand in Japan's way and Japan would have to act accordingly.\n\n3. The Yomiuri (27th June) criticises the French Government for having made representations to the Japanese Government in regard to the island of Hainan, referring especially to reports that they were proposing to send troops there and that they were endeavouring to persuade Great Britain to co-operate. Such tactics could only be designed to impede Japan and might lead to serious consequences. French arms continued to find their way to China through Haiphong and ports in Kwangchow Bay and the attitude of France was thoroughly \"insincere\"; she was urging the Chiang régime to resist Japan and at the same time trying to obtain concessions from it. She had no right whatever to protest to Japan.\n\n4. Meanwhile, fuel was added to the public indignation at the French attitude by reports which appeared in the press of what had been seen in French Indo-China by a Japanese recently deported by the French authorities. Day and night, this eye-witness is reported to have said, large quantities of weapons of French make were being unloaded at Haiphong and transported to Hunan and Yunnan Provinces; roads had also been constructed in order to expedite the transportation of these supplies.\n\n5. On the 30th June the Nichi Nichi defended Japan's right to extend the hostilities, if necessary, to Hainan and asserted that it was illogical for other countries to interfere with such a right. It was common knowledge that Great Britain had been helping China through Hong Kong, and France had been doing the same through French Indo-China. The falsity of their denials was proved by the conclusion of a railway loan with the Chiang régime.\n\n6. During the early part of July the action of the French authorities in occupying the Paracel Islands gave rise to further indignant remonstrances on the part of the press. The Kokumin, in a leading article (6th July), deplored the French action, which it maintained must have been due to a serious misunderstanding of the situation.

Uniformity of temperature and humidity would result in a far longer life of the specimens.\n\n2. It is highly desirable that all exhibits, save those not protected, should be housed in scientifically designed, artistic, metal and glass, dust-proof cases.\n\n3. A lecture hall—designed for this purpose with correct acoustic properties—equipped with a first-class epidiascope lantern and a cinematograph lantern for the projection of pictures, slides, and films of special interest should be included in the building. This room should be built to hold at least 300 persons. If the scheme is in conjunction with a City Hall, then such a hall would fulfil this purpose.\n\n4. A smaller room should also be included which could be used by societies for their meetings, e.g., Hong Kong Horticultural Society, Aquarium Society, and a Natural History Society (which would certainly be inaugurated). Such a room should be equipped with benches (with water and electric fittings), with blackboards (ground glass or concrete), and with a small epidiascope lantern and screen. A number of exhibits could also be permanently housed in this room as well.\n\n5. A large preparation room, or two smaller rooms equipped with benches, water, gas, and electricity, and with a dark room for photographic use, are absolutely essential.\n\n6. A research laboratory for the use of the Curator and visiting scientists is also essential.\n\n7. A small library and reading room open (on conditions) to the public is highly desirable. A great deal of scientific literature could be obtained free, and certain journals could be purchased or obtained in exchange for the museum's publications. If this library is contained within the air-conditioned wing, the University might consider housing therein the more valuable books on Chinese art from the Hankow library. The coloured plates are particularly susceptible to changes in humidity; examples of such books are the volumes of the catalogue of the Eumorfopoulos collection.\n\n8. The rooms in which the exhibits are to be staged must be well lit, spacious, and attractively furnished. There is an abundance of literature on museum design and furniture, so no difficulties should be experienced.\n\n9. We consider that provision should be made for the following rooms:\n\n2 rooms for prehistory, archaeology, and geology.\n\n2 rooms for ethnographic sciences to illustrate racial settlement and migration.\n\n2 rooms, in addition to a central hall, for Chinese arts to include, in particular, porcelains, paintings, and bronzes.\n\n1 room devoted to marine biology.\n\n1 room devoted to terrestrial biology.\n\nRooms devoted to industries representative of China, e.g., silk, tea, porcelain, and paper.\n\nA minimum total of 10 rooms in addition to a central hall.\n\nIV. MUSEUM.\n\n(a) Reasons for establishment.\n\nIt is highly desirable for many reasons that Hong Kong should possess a museum worthy of its situation.\n\nIn the British Empire, it is unique in being an island situated at the extreme S.E. corner of Asia and just within the tropics. Its fauna, flora, and prehistory are unusually rich. The seas around Hong Kong are of more than ordinary interest for these reasons. Already, from local waters, several hundred species of fish have been identified. Again, owing to its geographical position, the Colony is on the line of autumn and spring migrations of fishes and birds. The snakes are of especial interest because, in their numbers, are both tropical and temperate forms. The flora is tropical, but the Colony forms almost the extreme north-eastern limit of the distribution of many of its plants.\n\nHong Kong, as a Colony, is also unique in the British Empire in not possessing a museum or art gallery. Reference to this fact is made in no uncertain terms by the Museums Association in their Empire survey carried out at the request of the Carnegie Corporation of New York:\n\n'Hong Kong, in fact, represents the low-water mark in museum provision throughout the whole of the Empire, excepting only the smaller islands of the Pacific and some of the more backward African territories.' Report on the Museums of Ceylon, British Malaya, the West Indies, etc., p. 8. On pages 20 & 21 in this same report, the Museum situation in Hong Kong is discussed in further detail: See Appendix I.\n\nWe consider that the present time is appropriate for the removal of this stigma.\n\nThe Colony, being geographically part of China and situated in the track of racial migrations in proto-historic times, has unique advantages for the study of the origins and development of Chinese culture in many of its aspects.\n\nThe Chinese Government has spent large sums on the establishment of museums and libraries in Peiping, Kaifoeng, Nanking, Shanghai, and in many other cities, which, in design and management, follow those of Europe and America. This fact, coupled with the wealth of material available, provides an ample reason for the establishment of a museum which, at the least, should be on a level with the standard attained in China.\n\nA museum, such as is envisaged in this report, would form a link between the Universities and Museums of the Empire and those of China and would provide facilities for the interchange of students and knowledge between the English and Chinese-speaking peoples.\n\nIn the Colony, the museum would form a centre for discussion, research, and education, and a means for the widening of outlook of both school-children and the general public.\n\n(b) Objects of Establishment of a Museum.\n\nThe objects of the museum should be:\n\n1. The collection, study, classification, arrangement, and display of material of scientific, historic, artistic, and economic interest to the Colony of Hong Kong and to the country of China.\n\n2. The interpretation of the collections with a view to interesting and educating the public. This involves not only the artistic display and thorough labelling of specimens but also the giving of lectures on special topics and the writing for publication of both papers and books to further the same end.\n\n3. Co-operation with existing Government and Educational Departments with a view to increasing the interest and education of the people in a variety of biological, geological, archaeological, and other subjects.\n\nThe Museum must, in our opinion, be confined in its scope to Hong Kong and Chinese interest. If this rule is not rigidly adhered to, the museum, like its predecessor, will become a repository for odds and ends from every corner of the globe.\n\nPage", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-569-10 Report on proposed new museum 11-1-1938 - 11-1-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 560516, "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": "CO129-570-3 Sino-Japanese War- proposed refugee camp in demilitarised area of South China 1-6-1938 - 11-1-1939", "page_number": 89, "title": "CO129-570-3 Sino-Japanese War- proposed refugee camp in demilitarised area of South China 1-6-1938 - 11-1-1939", "content_text": "89\n\n(15)\n\nNO DISTRIBUTION\n\nTelegram (en clair) from Mr. Blunt (Canton).\n\nD. 14th June, 1938.\n\nR. 27th June, 1938.\n\nNo. 3.

If I may venture an opinion, Governor of Hongkong has throughout dealt with this difficult problem with sympathy and understanding.\n\n3. The crisis passed and has only now re-arisen, but aggravated by influx of refugees from Fukien, Hankow, Chungking. These refugees and those from Shanghai and North China have no historic claim on hospitality of Hongkong.\n\n4. Even before receipt of Hongkong telegram No. 150 to Secretary of State for Colonies, I had approached Provincial and Municipal Authorities directly and indirectly about seeking to create a safe zone from bombing. Criticisms by Chinese included no faith in Japanese promises, experience of Nanking, and finally and fatally refusal to admit, by exclusion of one particular zone, Japanese right to bomb rest of Canton.

Thousands of high explosive bombs have been dropped at 250 different places throughout the city, killing more than a thousand people and wounding many times that number. The planes usually fly at a great height, so that discrimination is absolutely impossible even were this not an obvious attempt to terrorize the people, to demoralize the city, and destroy the private property and public institutions of the community, with the object of conquering and enslaving the Chinese people.\n\nWe, foreign physicians, who have witnessed these ruthless and barbarous bombings, and have ourselves cared for more than 500 severely wounded men, women and children, all non-combatants, in our Hospitals, have cabled to America and Great Britain, appealing to the humane people of the world to take decisive steps immediately to stop these persistent and terrible massacres. These dispatches have been signed by Doctors W. W. Cadbury, C. A. Hayes, R.L. Lancaster, F. Oldt, T. D. Stevenson, P. J. Todd, J. O. Thomson on our own initiative, and also on behalf of the Chinese Medical Association.\n\nWe have all served in China for many years and are accustomed to caring for large numbers of wounded soldiers, but this is the first time that the wounded in great numbers have all been civilians, women and children as well as men. The wounded are often brought to our Hospitals, particularly the Hackett Medical Centre and the Canton Hospital, while the airmen are bombing other places. At times the bombers return and many Red Cross workers have been wounded. Some are in our Hospitals. The Hospitals of Canton resemble field hospitals after a large battle, but the wounded are not soldiers. They are ordinary people like you and your loved ones.\n\nThe whole personnel of our institutions are required to care for the wounded men, women and children. Everyone works steadily until all have been operated upon and relieved of pain; but the staff is almost exhausted. As many as 160 severely wounded people have been admitted to each of several of our Mission Hospitals within a period of an hour or two. Ninety-nine per cent of the deaths and casualties are due to high explosive bombs, the same that are being used to blast the Chinese armies that are defending their country, their homes and their families. The explosive force of the bombs, the bomb fragments and the collapsing buildings cause terrible wounds.\n\nThe dead are more fortunate—for the wounded children and women as well as men, with large and painful wounds, often lie in agony, pinned down in the ruins of their homes, awaiting rescue, or death from hemorrhage or shock—often whole families are killed, sometimes one may be left maimed, penniless and homeless. The Chinese men say, \"We don't care if they kill us men, but why do they kill our women and children?\" Women of Japan, why do your airmen, soldiers and sailors kill women and children in large numbers?\n\nIs this \"just and fair\" as your military leaders declare? Do you approve of this? You in foreign countries who are providing the Japanese militarist raiders with the materials for this slaughter of the innocents—their blood is on your heads.\n\nWe can never forget the young doctor brought to us with both thighs shattered, one twisted as if by a typhoon. For lack of a bed he lay on the floor quietly, uncomplainingly, quite conscious, calmly awaiting death, for he had done his duty, nobly and courageously. His distracted wife, weeping daughter and sorrowing brother begged us to save his life. We could do nothing but relieve his pain. His wounds were too severe and he had lost too much blood. We had to turn away from that pathetic group to save the lives of others. \"Greater love hath no man than this—that a man lay down his life for his friends.\"\n\nThe Red Cross organizations and personnel, boy and girl scouts, and the staffs of our Hospitals are doing magnificent work. They are well worthy of your support. The heads of our medical institutions and of the Health and Red Cross services are splendid Chinese men and physicians, distinguished and worthy graduates of American and British medical schools mostly.\n\nOur Hospitals are full of wounded—those whose limbs needed to be amputated—expectant mothers injured—children with shattered bones. Very few cases with bomb wounds of the abdomen survive, they are too serious. You would be interested in many of those who fill our wards. There is the newsboy whose calf muscles are torn away: The fruit peddler whose leg was blown off. He cannot now provide for his family. The young woman, a member of a happy family of seven. A bomb dropped on their home and one of her feet was blown off. When she recovered consciousness she learned that the other members of the family had been killed. The fireman who was machine-gunned by the airmen while putting out a fire caused by an incendiary bomb.\n\nAfter dropping their bombs near the Wong Sha (yellow sand) station in the city, the bombers swooped down and machine-gunned the people as they ran out of their collapsing houses. A mother was injured, a nine year old boy was killed and a baby boy five months old had a bullet through the thigh. There is the mother of four small children whose legs were shattered and who will be bedridden for months. The baby girl of four months, part of whose foot was blown off and mother whose was killed while she was nursing her, will probably live. A cobbler with his right hand shattered. With most of these people it is a hand to mouth existence. If they cannot work they cannot eat. Many would prefer to be killed rather than be maimed, for they can neither support themselves nor their families, but are a burden to them.\n\nWe try to save as many limbs as possible, but have had to sacrifice dozens, and will have to provide them with artificial ones. One of our girl nurses remarked, 'If I am struck by a bomb I hope I will be killed outright rather than have a limb blown off!' It is very unpleasant for everyone in Canton—for there are no neutrals nor non-combatants—when the bombers dive overhead, and no one knows where the bombs will drop and scatter fragments of human bodies all over a wide area. Most unpleasant is it for those who have already gone through both mental and physical torture once, to anticipate further suffering.\n\nThe wounds are extensive and multiple, requiring quantities of dressing and medicines. We are grateful to the Lord Mayors' Fund, the Red Cross Societies and individuals for help. Much more will be required. Are you acting the part of the Good Samaritan?\n\nA Japanese spokesman declared that \"accurate bombing of Canton had been carried out\". These objectives \"accurately bombed\" include the French Hospital on the Bund with large flags painted on the roof. (The beautiful young woman whose leg we had to amputate thought that it was a safety zone). Bombs struck directly a group of sampans in the river, people on the main streets of the city, schools (mission and others), hundreds of private homes and shops. We have wounded from those places in our hospitals. We refuse to term these and the essential Public utilities, such as the power plant and water works, and administrative offices of a great municipality \"military objectives\".\n\nBombs fell close to buildings of the Hackett Medical Centre and beside the Hospital of the New Zealand Mission adorned with flags, and on Lingnan University. We must assume from their own statement that the Japanese air force considers these \"military objectives\" and deliberately bombed them.\n\nOur Hospitals are functioning under great difficulties. The destruction of the major power plant deprives us of our lighting systems, X-rays, refrigeration of serums and food supplies, water pumping, elevator service, cooling fans—Canton is in the sub-tropics. It is mid-summer.\n\nWith the destruction of the public utilities which is the Japanese declared intention, the city could be destroyed by fire caused by many incendiary bombs. Thousands of people have taken refuge close to Shameen—the Anglo-French Concession here, but the Japanese bombers have made a practice of diving low over the Consulates flying the American, British, French and other flags to slaughter the people nearby. Is it fair to the Chinese to tolerate this? Are we respecting the treaties our nations voluntarily signed with the intention of securing the integrity and sovereignty of China from just such an aggression?\n\n39\n\n3\n\nThe ruthless bombing of non-combatants has not been confined to Canton. Four hundred air-raids have been made upon various places throughout this Province during the past 9 months—an average of nearly two daily. The despatches of such reputable press agencies as Reuter and United Press have been substantially correct.\n\nYou may have read that several Japanese planes machine-gunned two passage boats with hundreds of passengers, most of whom were killed or wounded. That six planes attacked a group of cargo junks with firewood, killing and wounding. That Japanese airmen dropped incendiary bombs on a sewing factory full of young women, scores of whom were killed, as many maimed and burned—a terrible sight. That bombs were dropped on a train on the Hankow railroad coming south and that the aeroplanes then opened fire with machine guns killing and wounding passengers.\n\nThat half a city was destroyed and many injured in an unsuccessful attempt to destroy a small military objective\". That bombs were rained on stations of the British financed Kowloon railway killing and wounding old men, women and babies. These reports are not propaganda, but the truth, for some of the wounded have been admitted to our Canton hospitals and those of our medical colleagues at Swatow, Kong Chuen, Fat Shan, Shiu Chow, Kong Moon, Tsung Fa and other places, and treated by Doctors H.R. Worth, O.L. Eaton, G.W. Hollings, H.R. Hartnell, R.L. Cockfield F.E. Bates and Nurse James and others of the Presbyterian, Methodist, Anglican, Seventh Day Adventist and United Churches of England, the United States of America, Canada, and New Zealand.\n\nThe killing of non-combatants but strengthens the determination of the Chinese to resist in order to bring peace and security to China and Asia. Canton cannot be captured from the air. Will the people of Britain and America allow it to become a second Nanking? Will you not actively help to hasten the time when there shall be neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain—the time when nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more? or will you continue to be an isolationist and watch the hands of the clock of civilization and of Christianity put back to the dark ages—America and Britain were given their goodly heritage for a world mission.\n\nIn the judgement of the nations will America and Britain hear the words: \"In as much as you have done it unto the least of these (Chinese women, children and men) my brethren—you have done it unto me?\"\n\nThis letter has been written during day and night air raids still continuing.\n\nJ.

Since the beginning of May, when an attack had been made on Canton near the Sun Yat Sen University, there had been a respite. But on Saturday, May 28th, a spell of fine weather began again,—blue sky with patches of fleecy white cloud hanging fairly low. This made very good cover for the Japanese airmen, who seem to have developed the technique of diving out of the clouds to drop their bombs, and then retiring to safety before the anti-aircraft guns could spot them. Indeed, for a great part of the bombing, we have been unable to see the aeroplanes at all. The anti-aircraft fire has been vigorous and persistent. Two planes are said to have been hit, but it has been an unequal struggle, and emphasises that, as far as aerial attack is concerned, Canton is not a heavily fortified city.\n\n## Saturday, May 28th.\n\nIn the morning, I was over at Pak Hok Tung, which lies across the river from Canton. The meeting I was at was, of course, disturbed by the roar of planes and the detonation of bombs and anti-aircraft fire; but it was not till the local Red Cross corps received a 'phone call to go and help at Lychee Wan in the North West of the city that we realised how serious the raid had been. At 1 o'clock, the raiders came back and dropped more bombs, which I afterwards learnt had fallen among the rescue-workers near Wong Sha Railway Station. As we came back in the launch, we could see smoke coming up from a match factory only a few hundred yards from Shameen. I began to go with another foreigner towards our home in the East of the city, but the planes came over for the third time that day, and the police would not let our rickshaws proceed till the firing was over.\n\nA colleague who is a member of the Committee of Justice had been round by the Wong Sha Station, which was destroyed. Bombs had also fallen on a great many small houses in the neighbourhood, and he reported ghastly scenes of dead and wounded. Coming home, I saw an undertaker's car piled up with rough wooden coffins.\n\n## Sunday, May 29th.\n\nThe raiders came about 10 a.m., power-diving, apparently very close to where we live. It is a shattering noise and instinctively makes you recoil into a corner or fall flat on the floor. Fortunately, there was an interval, and I was able to get to a church service in Sai Kwan, the West suburb. Another raid began just as we were finishing, and it was rather a disturbed service, with the sound of ambulances and cars rushing by, and then a general movement away from the west part of the city where the Wong Sha Station lies. The Japanese have been persistently attacking this district. Hackett Hospital, which is of American Christian foundation, lies at least half a mile from the Station, but bombs have dropped just outside it.\n\nAfter Church, I got a rickshaw, although planes were overhead, and reached the Columbus Restaurant in the middle of Canton. Two planes were visible, and hundreds of people sheltering in doorways and shops were looking up at them as they dodged the anti-aircraft fire. The Restaurant was packed to the doors. People were sitting on the stairs and in every available place. But when the All Clear Signal had gone, most people went out, and we could pursue more or less normal life for the rest of the day.\n\n## Monday, May 30th.\n\nThe air-raid began about 9:30 a.m. The school where we live is strongly built with four concrete floors above the entrance hall, which has become a kind of public shelter. Between 100 and 200 poor people from the neighbourhood come each time. It was particularly noisy that morning. The planes were power-diving near us again, and bombs were falling not far off. One exploded three hundred yards away in a field. Whenever there was a lull, we would rush upstairs to look out and see what damage had been done. Tremendous columns of smoke and dust were going up from the Siu Pak (Little North Gate) district, while far away to the West, we could see from the smoke that Wong Sha Station was being attacked again.\n\nSome of the Boy Scouts from the School prepared to go and lend a hand at the places nearest to us. They went very willingly, but we nearly started too soon, as the planes came back while we were still in the school grounds. We had to wait for a few very unpleasant moments by a bamboo hedge while the planes roared, and on three occasions at least, we could hear the swish of bombs hurtling through the air. There were terrible scenes of dead and dying at Siu Pak, where scores of little houses and shops had been destroyed. In a village not far from our school, a bomb had fallen in a bamboo grove, and there had probably been a house near by. When we got there, there was only a huge crater. Some Red Cross workers were helping with the wounded. We helped some soldiers with digging. An old woman recognised the body of her small grandson. A disconsolate mother kept crying \"Why did they come here?\" Why indeed? There was nothing that could be called military anywhere near.\n\n## May 31st-June 2nd.\n\nDuring the middle of the week, the air-raids were not quite so intensive. On Tuesday, the Japanese raided Sai Tsuen, where the Electric Power plant and other factories are situated. On Wednesday, there was no raid. I took the opportunity to visit the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall. It is one of the finest buildings in China, and stands in its own grounds well apart from the other buildings. The north-west corner of the building was hit by a bomb and badly damaged. Broken blue tiles were scattered everywhere on the pavement. Two other bombs were aimed at it, one of them hitting a Primary School which stood at the corner of the square. It is difficult to see the reason for, or to excuse this act of vandalism.\n\n## Friday, June 3rd.\n\nI got caught in the streets during a raid in the afternoon. Traffic came to a halt, while people moved quickly, but without panic, taking what cover they could. I found myself near the Sun Yat Sen University and knew it was not a good spot to be in. I made my way by stages to the Lingnan wharf and found that three bombs had fallen into the river, killing some boat people. I crossed in a sampan to Lingnan, and passed the cotton factory, which had also been hit. Ambulances were already on the spot.\n\n## Saturday, June 4th.\n\nThis was one of the worst raids we have had. I was in the YMCA building in the Bund at the time. There were several tremendous explosions, and we could hear the bombs coming through the air, which fell near the Pearl River Bridge, and behind the Provincial Bank. Whole rows of houses were demolished there. Four or five bombs had fallen at the corner of Tai Hong Rd. and Hon Man (Wing Hon) Rd. Somehow, to see that destruction and bodies laid out in the main shopping street of Canton brings out more clearly the cruel futility of war and its threat to all that we call civilisation.\n\n## Sunday, June 5th.\n\nWhitsunday. Our Church service was held in very trying conditions. Bombs had fallen about 400 yards away the day before. On this day too, the explosions sounded almost as near; but somehow we finished the service. Two bombs had fallen on the old campus of the National Sun Yat Sen University. Attacks were also made on the Municipal Building—another very fine achievement of modern Chinese architecture—and on the broadcasting station, but these were not successful.\n\n## Monday, June 6th.\n\nAnother terrible day. Raids began at 8 a.m. Some bombs fell not far from the Sun Yat Sen University Hospital. Others fell near the old East Gate, and it is difficult to see what they could have been aimed at. They hit a number of poor houses, which collapsed. I realised how many people must have been trapped and buried alive in ruins when we helped to unearth a woman and child in this district. At first, we could only hear them, but after some feverish clearing away of bricks and rubble and wood, their heads appeared. The little boy could be got out, but the woman was buried almost up to the neck. Then there was another raid, and an agony of waiting while more bombs dropped. Afterwards, the rescue party got to work again, and she was freed. But hundreds of people in Canton have not been so lucky, and some are probably still buried in ruins.\n\nRound at the YMCA, they had had an even worse time. Bombs had fallen on the French Hospital almost next door, on some houses behind the Power Station 150 yards away, and a third at the foot of the new Tiger Balm building on the Bund. Again, a terrible roll of dead and wounded. It was quite difficult to get home owing to the number of bombed areas that had been cordoned off by the police.\n\n## Tuesday, June 7th.\n\nIn the afternoon, there was another raid. Three bombs fell on the grounds of Lingnan University. One of them, only 130 yards from the house of an American Professor, failed to explode and buried itself 10 feet into the earth.\n\n## June 8th to 13th.\n\nNight raids began as soon as the moon was a little way past half full. By now, a tremendous number of people have left Canton for the country or Hong Kong. As soon as there is an alarm, those who are left either run out to the fields on the outskirts or go to some part of the city that is still considered safe. There is a hasty procession of cars, then silence while we listen for the distant drone of the planes.\n\nThe Japanese appear to have hired spies to let off flares on the first night, and many were seen going up from all parts of the city. But most of the traitors must have been caught, as there were none on the following nights. The airmen seem to be more cautious by night. Only one plane comes at a time, and the bombs have mostly fallen on the edge of the city. The Electric Light Plant, at Sai Tsuen, which was put up by German engineers, to be paid for out of the running profits, was badly damaged in these night-raids.\n\nRaids have taken place on five nights, and the moon will last long enough for them to come five times more.\n\nOn each occasion, about six to ten bombs have been dropped, with the usual chances of death and destruction. There is the additional terror of it happening in the dark. On June 8th, there was also a fire in an oil-shop, possibly started by incendiaries. The gallant Japanese airmen made their contribution to the peace of East Asia by machine-gunning the people who were trying to put it out.\n\nCanton is now very quiet, but not completely deserted. There has been no panic, and no looting. Government Officials, Police, soldiers, Labour Corps, Red Cross workers, doctors, and many others remain to protect life where they can, and to preserve peace in the city. The Chinese civilians are doing courageous work in exceptionally trying conditions. It is because we believe that their cause is essentially the cause of humanity that we appeal to friends in the West to sympathise actively by helping to restrain Japanese aggression, and to stop war supplies going from Britain and the United States to a country which uses them in this way.\n\nGILBERT BAKER.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-570-7 Sino-Japanese War- attack on shipping 21-3-1938 - 18-11-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 560609, "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": "CO129-570-7 Sino-Japanese War- attack on shipping 21-3-1938 - 18-11-1938", "page_number": 40, "title": "CO129-570-7 Sino-Japanese War- attack on shipping 21-3-1938 - 18-11-1938", "content_text": "6\n\n42\n\nA REFUTATION OF JAPANESE STATEMENTS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CANTON BOMBINGS.\n\nAs one who is on the spot here in Canton and has personally seen some of the horrors perpetrated by the Japanese during the past fortnight, I have no hesitation in writing to deny all that the Japanese say in defence of their murderous and indiscriminate attacks on a practically defenceless civilian population living in a city which is nothing but the commercial centre for South China.\n\nThe statements issued by the Japanese Foreign Office in Tokyo, by the Japanese Admiralty Publicity Bureau, and by other spokesmen, are not only outrageous lies, but infer that protests to foreign powers have only been sent in by the Chinese authorities to arouse sympathy for their cause. The Canton Committee for Justice to China was responsible on Monday, May 30th, for sending off to different parts of the world cables of protest by foreigners, many of whom had personally seen the ghastly results of indiscriminate bombing. In the majority of cases, bombs have fallen not on military or government objectives or anywhere near them, but on crowded civilian areas. This can be vouched for by many foreigners who, like myself, have gone out to render what help we could in bombed civilian areas. We have seen the mangled remains of scores of civilians - men, women, and children - and many wounded from the effect of bomb explosions, and for the Japanese to say, as they have, that casualties were caused by Chinese anti-aircraft fire is a monstrous lie.\n\nThe apologists for murder state that their pilots scrupulously avoid passing over Shameen, which is a British and French Concession. I have, on occasions, been in Shameen during raids and seen distinctly Japanese planes cross the whole length of the island.\n\nThis is done by them in order the more easily to deal death and destruction to the adjacent crowded city. The Japanese Consul General in Hong Kong stated in reply to the protest made by the British Consul General in Canton that it was most difficult for the Japanese planes, when flying at a height of 10,000 feet, to discern such a small object as Shameen island, some 15 acres in area. If that is so, then it would be equally impossible for these same planes to aim accurately at what they call military objectives within the city, and which are much smaller in area than Shameen. The Japanese Consul General's own words confound him.\n\nThe Japanese have also stated that in numerous cases, the Chinese authorities have set up military and government establishments in close proximity to foreign property throughout the city of Canton. This again is an absolute lie, as practically all the foreign property owned in Canton is either in Shameen or Pak Hok Tung and Lingnan, which are both on the outskirts of the city. Within the city, apart from three hospitals and the large compound surrounding the Roman Catholic Cathedral, there is practically no foreign property at all.\n\nOne could write much more in refutation of the excuses made by Japanese official spokesmen, but I think it should be clear to the world at large by now that the Japanese militarists are indulging in an orgy of frightfulness in order to terrorise the population into submission.\n\nIn conclusion, I would urge that it is high time that the Governments of Great Britain, France, and the United States of America should take strong action to restrain Japan in her campaign of murder by refusing to allow her any supplies of oil and other such essential materials which are enabling her to carry on this unjust war, in which so many thousands of innocent civilians are suffering.\n\nSTUDENTS & THE WAR.\n\nIt is well known that students have always played a prominent part in the social life of China. Though the modern Chinese student has little in common with the scholar of his grandfather's day, he inherits something of his responsibility in social and political affairs. This responsibility is that of bringing culture and education to the masses, of whom so many are still illiterate. In the last twenty years, China has faced this question of mass education and brought forth the Renaissance of culture in the process. The building of a new and simplified national language (Kuo Yue) and the whole movement of absorbing the best traditions of the West are tremendous achievements which have sprung from the Chinese Universities. It is this growth of an independent modern Chinese culture which the Japanese want to crush.\n\nThis jealousy of Chinese education is not because China has scorned the achievements of Japan. On the contrary, the Chinese have always respected the rapid modernisation of Japan, and a great many Chinese students have been there to study. It should also be remembered that the Japanese owe a great deal of what is ancient in their culture to China. In return for that, every effort is being made to weaken the educated classes in this country. The tragedy is that the people who are doing this do not in any way represent the real culture of Japan. The attack on cultural institutions in China is, unfortunately, characteristic of the modern war-makers who have repudiated the modern historic culture of East and West in the interest of brute force.\n\nThe Japanese militarists have never forgiven the students of China for their action of May 4th, 1919, when in Peiping they forced the Chinese Government to oppose the Japanese encroachments in Shantung made at the time of the Versailles Treaty. From that time, students became an important political factor, though it must be admitted that in many cases they used their position unwisely. The point is, however, that after the 1932 war in Shanghai, students throughout China were remarkably passive. There was, between 1932 and 1935, a genuine attempt to curb the anti-Japanese emphasis and to concentrate their minds on internal reconstruction.\n\nBut in 1935, the Japanese again began their \"forward\" policy in North China; and after nearly four years of patience, the students in Peiping again demonstrated against their attempt to create \"autonomous\" governments by hiring certain Chinese ruffians to pose as \"Provisional\" leaders. The student, and indeed the whole nation, began to realise that the Japanese methods in North China were a menace not only to China's political stability but to the existence of any civilised and educated people.\n\nAs soon as the war began, it was obvious that the Japanese were determined to paralyse China's university life. The wanton shelling of Nankai University, the bombing of Central University, Nanking, the destruction of Universities in Shanghai are already well known. More recently, Hunan University, Changsha, has been bombed, and Amoy University destroyed when that port was taken. Both these institutions lie well away from the towns to which they are neighbours.\n\nTill now, the students of Canton have been fairly fortunate. The National Sun Yat Sen University has a fine new campus about four miles from the city. During the earlier raids, a great many bombs were aimed at this, but luckily none of the beautiful modern Chinese-style buildings were damaged. It was, however, obviously a target for the Japanese, and most of the classes moved into the University's old buildings, which are in the centre of Canton. On May 4th, during an air raid, a bomb aimed at the old University fell into a neighbouring street, killing several people. On June 5th and 6th, in the recent appalling air-raids, three bombs hit the University.\n\nDuring these days, the Sun Yat Sen University students have been trying to take their examinations, which have been held early in the morning and late at night to avoid the raiders. In the daytime, some of them have been doing rescue work with the Red Cross workers. Some institutions, like the Union Theological College, have organised their own First Aid troops.\n\nOf the other four Universities in Canton, Sheung Kan University has moved into the country. Kuo Min University and Canton University lie in the city, and although bombs have fallen near each of them, they have until now been able to carry on with their work. Lingnan University lies across the river and outside Canton. Three bombs fell into its campus, which killed and wounded 3 agricultural workers. The Union Theological College at Pak Hok Tung is at present immune.\n\nIt is obvious, however, that the general strain of studying during the last year has been very trying, and the colleges must be congratulated on having got through their programmes. During the last term, Lingnan University has been offering special courses related to the war crisis, in the Departments of Science, Government, History, Religion, etc. The Arts students also did, as part of their course, a two weeks' tour of the local villages on Honan Island. They gave talks on political education, practical first aid, air-raid precautions, and presented patriotic plays and taught games to the children as a contribution to the social life of the villages. It has had a good effect in helping to break down the barriers between a rich university and the countryside, and is a local example of what is happening everywhere in China - the uniting of all classes, students, soldiers, workers in the common cause.\n\n43\n\n7\n\nThe students of Canton also demonstrated their solidarity with students of other countries when they recently welcomed two delegates from the World's Student Association, Mr. Bernard Floud from Oxford and Mr. James Klugman from Paris. They were on a tour in China with a view to speaking for China's cause on their return. They visited the Universities in Canton and were given an extremely warm reception. More recently, in these raids, the students have sent a joint letter to Student bodies in Britain, U.S.A., Canada, and other countries, describing the bombing, stating that students are carrying on as best they can, and asking for support from foreign countries. All who read this bulletin may be assured of the desire of Chinese students to express their solidarity with the peace-loving peoples of the world.\n\nStudents have already suffered heavily in this war. Many of them are refugees, unable to continue their studies; readers of this bulletin are probably familiar with the needs for their relief. If not, they may like to know that gifts of money to the Student YMCA, 347 Madison Ave, N.Y., or International Student Service, 14 Rue Calvin, Geneva, or to British Student Christian Movement, Annandale, North End Rd, London N.W. 11, or direct to YMCA at Shanghai, 131 Museum Street, or YMCA Changsha, will be well used.\n\nBut more important, we are appealing that worse evils may not befall Chinese students through the Japanese invasion of China. Some students are fighting with the army. A great number are engaged in some kind of national service, and all are determined to uphold the right of students everywhere to study in peace and freedom from the repression of the war-makers. The Japanese militarists are attacking cultural institutions partly because they are centres of Chinese sentiment, but also because the military mind in control of Japan is afraid of culture. The senseless attacks on the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall have been the latest expression of this vandalism. It is a hall of considerable beauty and embodies the spirit of Canton as a pioneer city in the Republic. But it is of no great practical value. It stands well apart from any other buildings. Several bombs have been aimed at it, and it has been fairly seriously damaged.

(I have no figures for reference.) The Japanese can with equal, or greater, effect bomb the loop line and the Canton-Hankow Railway along which the bulk of war materials arriving through Hong Kong must proceed.\n\nI do not know whether through our mediation, an agreement could be reached with both sides, whereby the Japanese guaranteed immunity and in return the Chinese gave us and the Japanese an undertaking to leave the line and all rolling stock which they were unable to remove intact.

No. X/14870 (G)\n\n**SECRET**\n\nHeadquarters, \nChina Command, \nVictoria Barracks, \nHong Kong. \n26th May, 1938.\n\n8\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nI have the honour to forward herewith in continuation of my letter No. C.R.C.C. No. X/14870 (G) dated 28th March, 1938, to the Hon. The Colonial Secretary, a copy of War Office reply to wire referred to therein. From this it will be seen that there has been a change of War Office Policy as regards the degree of protection which should be given to petrol stores and, consequently, in itself the building by Asiatic Petroleum Company of a bomb-proof tank sufficient to hold the military requirements does not appear to attract the War Office. In any case I understand the amount of the War Office contribution would be of small importance in relation to the whole project, and that wider factors must be adduced to justify the cancellation of the existing project and the transference of the site from TSUN WAN to YAU TONG WAN.\n\nFrom the point of view of the Defence of the Colony there are three good reasons for locating the Asiatic Petroleum Company Petrol Installations and Tank Farm at YAU TONG WAN. They are as follows :-\n\n(a) The degree of protection against Air attack is considerably higher over the harbour area than over TSUN WAN. The protection accorded by the land defences has already been emphasised, but in addition, it may be assumed that risk of sabotage will be less at YAU TONG WAN than at TSUN WAN, which is in so isolated a position.\n\n(b) A road from KAI TAK to YAU TONG WAN would be of advantage in facilitating the movement of troops towards DEVILS PEAK.\n\n(c) Distribution of petrol and oil would be simpler in Peace and slightly more secure in War.\n\n| Point | Reason |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Higher protection against Air attack and less risk of sabotage at YAU TONG WAN compared to TSUN WAN. |\n| (b) | A road from KAI TAK to YAU TONG WAN would facilitate troop movement towards DEVILS PEAK. |\n| (c) | Simpler and more secure distribution of petrol and oil in Peace and War. |\n\nThe matter has been referred to the Commodore who expresses the opinion that there would appear to be advantages in siting the installations within the defence line, but the proposal may not be acceptable to the Harbour Master on account of its proximity to the \"Dangerous Goods Anchorage\". I take it the latter is a temporary objection.\n\nIn view of the above observations it is recommended that the Asiatic Petroleum Company be encouraged to transfer their installations to YAU TONG WAN and such moral support as I can give to this and to the construction of a road from KAI TAK to YAU TONG WAN I will give.\n\nI have the honour to be, \nYour Excellency's obedient servant, \n(Sd.)

Mr. Gallacher asked the Home Secretary whether any steps were taken to enable unemployed persons to receive the various articles recommended in the air-raid precautions handbook as being necessary for the evacuation of children and for protecting homes in the event of aerial attack? \n\nMr. Lloyd: As regards evacuation, steps were taken to secure that school children were equipped with the articles which they might need, and arrangements were made for meeting the immediate necessities of all persons who would have become refugees. As regards the provision of various forms of protection for persons remaining in specially vulnerable areas, the subject cannot be adequately dealt with in reply to a question, but my right hon. Friend hopes to have an early opportunity of making a full statement. \n\nMr. Gallacher: Will the Minister take note of the fact that the allowances paid to those who are unemployed are quite inadequate to meet their ordinary needs, and that if there is any special arrangement made for protecting their homes, assistance must be given to them? \n\n## 43. Mr. Touche asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider letting the public know the regulations which would be enforced in time of war regarding such air-raid precautions as blanketing of windows, provision of sand, and the best means of dealing with incendiary and other bombs, so that persons responsible for large buildings may take the necessary preparatory steps to enable them to comply with such regulations should the emergency arise? \n\nMr. Lloyd: Every endeavour has been and is being made, both through the medium of the published memoranda and handbooks and otherwise, to give the widest publicity to the various precautionary measures which should be taken by the public against the danger from air raids. It should not, however, be assumed that all these measures would be the subject of mandatory regulations on the outbreak of war. Many of them would remain measures which members of the public and occupiers of premises would be expected to take in their own interests. \n\nMr. Macquisten: Would it not be as well to mobilise all the unemployed miners and make them build bomb-proof shelters in all the big towns? \n\nMr. Garro Jones: Does that answer mean that the dealing with incendiary bombs is left exclusively to the initiative of the public after merely receiving publicity information from the Home Office? \n\nMr. Lloyd: No, Sir, it does not mean that. It is proposed both that the fire brigades should be augmented and also in the case of certain similar brigade plants in some of the streets in the event of air raids, that simple fire extinction apparatus should be made available in certain streets, probably in connection with the air-raid wardens. \n\n## BOGUS CLUBS \n\n34. Mr. Touche asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware of the hardship caused to licensed victuallers by the continuance of the unfair competition of bogus clubs; and whether he can make any statement as to when legislation is likely to be introduced on this subject? \n\n**The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Sir Samuel Hoare)**: I am fully aware of the position, but my hon. Friend will realise that it is not possible for me to-day to make any statement as to the legislative programme for next Session. \n\n## PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORATES \n\n37. Sir J. Mellor asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the growing inequality of Parliamentary electorates, he will introduce legislation in order to effect a redistribution before the next General Election? \n\n32. Mr. Keeling asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that in 79 of the 498 single-Member constituencies in England and Wales the number of voters is over 25 per cent. above the average and that the disparity between large and small electorates is greater than it has been since the Reform Act, 1832; and whether he will consider the introduction of legislation to make a redistribution before the next General Election? \n\n**1 NOVEMBER 1938**\n\nSir S. Hoare: I am not in a position to add anything to the replies given to previous questions on this subject. \n\nSir J. Mellor: Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind the fact that the size of some electorates in single-Member constituencies is two, three and even four times the size of the average electorate? \n\nSir S. Hoare: Yes, Sir. \n\n## TWO-SHIFT SYSTEM \n\n38. Mr. Kelly asked the Home Secretary the number of firms operating the two-shift system, and also the conditions which have been laid down for transport as well as continued education? \n\nSir S. Hoare: About 1,100 two-shift authorisations are now in force under the Act of 1936. It is now the practice to insert a condition to the effect that if any young person employed in the shifts is desirous of attending a continuation school or class, reasonable facilities shall be afforded by the employer for such attendance, and where it appears that transport difficulties are liable to arise a condition is inserted that the Secretary of State may at any time require the employer to make such special arrangements for the conveyance of workers living at a distance as may be necessary to prevent hardship. \n\nMr. Kelly: Will the right hon. Gentleman consider publishing a list of those firms operating this two-shift system? \n\nSir S. Hoare: I scarcely think that it would be necessary to publish a list of these 1,100 firms, but if the hon. Member will communicate with me, I will see if there is any further information I can give him. \n\nMr. Rhys Davies: Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that the conditions which were laid down by the Factory Department are carried out by the employers?", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-574-13 British capital for China- Prime Minister's statement 5-11-1938 - 5-11-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 563954, "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": "CO129-575-15 Traffic of arms to China 24-1-1939 - 4-12-1939", "page_number": 245, "title": "CO129-575-15 Traffic of arms to China 24-1-1939 - 4-12-1939", "content_text": "## Summary of Arms and Ammunition destined for China which were transhipped at Hong Kong between 1st July and 31st August 1938.\n\n| Description | Britain | America | Germany | France | Italy | Canada | Belgium | Czecho-slovakia | Sweden | Denmark | Hungary | Finland | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Aeroplanes (Nos.) | 75 | 56 | | | | | | | | | | | 131 machines |\n| Aeroplane parts (cases) | 8 | 3 | 493 | | | | 6 | | | | | | 510 cases |\n| Speed Boats (Nos.) | 4 | | | | | | | | | | | | 4 Boats |\n| Smoke Floats (Cases) | 15 | | | | | | | | | | | | 15 Cases |\n| Lifting gears for speed boats (Nos.) | 8 | | | | | | | | | | | | 8 To |\n| Depth charge accessories (cases) | 6 | | | | | | | | | | | | 6 Cages |\n| Aeroplane Engines (Nos.) | 33 | 8 | | | | | | | | | | | 41 Engines |\n| Mines (Nos.) | 240 | | | | | | | | | | | | 240 Mines |\n| Mine accessories (packages) | 269 | | | | | | | | | | | | 269 packages |\n| Trench Mortars (Nos.) | 81 | | | | | | | | 250 | | | | 250 Guns (96 Mortars) |\n| Guns, 2-pounder (Nos.) | 6 | | | | | | | | | | | | 6 |\n| Guns, 40 mm.

Craigie to Viscount Halifax.—(Received April 19.)\n\nCopy No. 121\n\nHIS Majesty's representative at Tokyo presents his compliments to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and, with reference to Tokyo despatch No. 101 of the 14th February, 1939, has the honour to transmit to him a copy of Political Diary No. 2 of 1939.\n\nTokyo, March 21, 1939.\n\n## Enclosure\n\n### Political Diary No. 2 of 1939 (February 1 to 28)\n\n(This diary is a brief and informal review of current topics. Although it is largely based on extracts from the Japanese press and is not in the nature of a considered report, the diary should be treated as confidential and should not be publicly quoted or reproduced.)\n\n**(A)-China Incident**\n\n**(1) Landing on Hainan Island**\n\n35. On the 10th February Japanese troops landed on Hainan Island and, meeting with no resistance, the Chinese regular forces having evacuated the island, proceeded to occupy the port of Hoihow, in the north, and a small area at the southern extremity of the island.\n\n36. According to Japanese authorities, the reasons for the occupation of Hainan were primarily strategic. There had been traffic in munitions by junk between Hainan and the Kwangchow Leased Territory. Secondly, Japanese naval vessels in South China waters, engaged on the blockade of the coast, had hitherto no convenient base. Thirdly, from such landing grounds as may be constructed in Hainan aeroplanes could bomb the railway from Haiphong to Kunming, as well as the highway from Burma, China's two main lines of supply. A political motive may have played its part in determining the move. Japan, as a loyal member of the anti-Comintern triangle, doubtless feels herself bound to make trouble for Britain and France wherever she can, or to see how much they will stand, and the occupation of Hainan constitutes a direct threat to Indo-China.\n\n37. The British, American and French Ambassadors all made informal enquiries at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, under instructions from their Governments, and received similar answers. The reasons for the occupation were strategic, said Mr. Arita, and the occupation itself would be temporary.\n\n**(2) Gueichau Island**\n\n38. The capture of this important island, 30 miles south of Pakhoi and 100 miles east of the Indo-China coast, was announced by Imperial Headquarters on the 3rd February. (It had been occupied temporarily during September of last year and later abandoned.)\n\n39. The Japanese Commander-in-chief requested all aircraft to keep to a distance of 15 miles from the island.\n\nGueichau is now the nearest point in Japanese possession from which aeroplanes can take off to bomb the overland route from Burma.\n\n`[583 t-1]`\n\n## B", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 565068, "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": "CO129-576-6 Hong Kong University- King Edward VII scholarships 23-2-1939 - 15-1-1940", "page_number": 19, "title": "CO129-576-6 Hong Kong University- King Edward VII scholarships 23-2-1939 - 15-1-1940", "content_text": "## X\n\n### Sub-head\n\n#### A.9.

The Governor of Hong-kong, Sir Stafford Northcote, who was in residence at his bungalow at Fanling, saw some of the bombing and inspected the scene with Brigadier Grasett. The Governor immediately sent a strong protest to the Japanese authorities at Canton and is reporting fully to the Colonial Office.\n\nResponsible quarters are inclined to believe that the bombing was done by over-ambitious airmen. The raiders attacked a train a mile and a half inside Hong-kong territory, and the Japanese should have known that there were no trains running on the Chinese section. Confusion probably exists in Japanese minds over the actual border, which is the northern bank of the Shamchun River, whereas the river and the two bridges are in British territory.\n\nREFUGEES FIRED ON\n\nThe bombing occurred soon after 9 o'clock, when nine aeroplanes bombed Shamchun City, which suffered severely. The raiders continued along the railway, dropping two bombs near the refugee hospital in the old casino at Shamchun. Refugees fleeing towards Hong-kong are reported to have been fired on with machine-guns. Many wounded have entered Hong-kong and have been taken to hospital, where some have already died.\n\nSix of the aeroplanes continued along the railway, and after crossing the Hong-kong border bombed the railway bridge at Lowu and the new road bridge, but without success. Three of the machines turned back and dropped 10 bombs near the Customs and wireless station just beyond the border, damaging them extensively and killing several Chinese, while the European officers had narrow escapes. Three aeroplanes continued into Hong-kong territory, where two of them dropped four bombs near Lowu bridge.\n\nOne bomb landed on the railway and another made a direct hit on the cook-house near the military post 200 yards from the bridge. Since the incidents of last December police, including Indians and Chinese, have manned this block-house, under a European sergeant. This bomb killed an Indian policeman, Surda Singh, and seven Chinese refugees who were sheltering near the blockhouse. Two other bombs fell on the river bank among refugees, on whom the aeroplanes then fired with machine-guns, killing a Chinese revenue officer and another Chinese.\n\nTRAIN ATTACKED\n\nThe raiders then attacked a mixed passenger and goods train which had halted a mile and a half from the border. The first bomb fell beside the engine, and two more on either side of the train, splintering one side of a carriage. The passengers, including two Europeans, fled into the open, and only one Chinese was slightly injured. Some reports state that the raiders fired on the passengers. The station building at Lowu and a group of carriages in a siding which are used as police quarters were also fired on with machine-guns. Altogether seven bombs were dropped in British territory.

These considerations appear to have less force in present case owing to distance of Burma from operations in China, difficult terrain of frontier and extreme difficulty of sending aircraft unassembled by road.

You have heard the evidence. There is very little direct evidence. Of course, as you will appreciate, there is the evidence of the widow and of the son of the dead man. Their story is that after what must strike all of us as a most futile, stupid, little quarrel, the accused suddenly lost his temper, reached up to the cockloft, brought down a chopper and announced his intention of killing his brother and proceeded to do so, inflicting on his younger brother four savage head wounds, from the bleeding from which there is no question whatsoever that the dead man died.\n\nThere are, I repeat, only two witnesses and each speaks of a different part of the story; and you will bear in mind that when dealing with the evidence of young people like this little boy you must examine his evidence with great care and act on it with hesitation.\n\nOn the other side we have had the evidence of the prisoner himself and I am not going to take you all over it again. It is not long since we heard it, but you will realise that he has set up two separate and distinct defences.\n\nThe first is what Mr. Macnamara, only for a lack of a better title for it, has called \"the defence of self-defence\" and the second one is the accused's own defence of \"coma\" and you will understand, of course, as sensible men, that the case", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-584-14 Commutation of death sentences to life imprisonment.

As it is impossible, in present circumstances, to proceed with the complete scheme as recommended by the Health Authorities considerable doubt was expressed as to whether the benefits to be gained by the substitution of coolies employed by Government for the existing freelance coolies would be commensurate with the expenditure involved: it was decided, however, that the provision for the emoluments of the 2,000 coolies should be allowed to stand in the draft estimates on the understanding that no actual expenditure will be incurred without the specific approval of the Finance Committee after further consideration of the whole matter.\n\nThere was insufficient time, when this item came for consideration, to reach a final decision on this important question and the Finance Committee desires an early opportunity of a full discussion with the Health Authorities, upon which will depend the question of authorising actual expenditure.\n\nAdditional Items\n\nThe following are the items which have been added:\n\nHead, 5, Charitable Services.— Sub-head 23, Grant to British Fund for the Relief of Distress in China $10,000.\n\nHead 17, Miscellaneous Services.—— Sub-head 24, University of Hongkong (Increased from $355,000 to $455,000) $100,000\n\n$110,000\n\nThe following are the items which have been omitted or reduced:\n\nHead 11A, Harbour Department.— Sub-head 1, Personal Emoluments. Crew for New Lighthouse Tender Sub-head 21, New Lighthouse Tender $600,000\n\nHead 16, Medical Department. Sub-head 68, Equipment for new Infectious Diseases Hospital $3,471\n\nHead 30, Public Works Extraordinary. Sub-head 5, Central Police Station-New Block (Reduced from $800,000 to $50,000) $750,000\n\nSub-head 26, Infectious Diseases Hospital (Reduced from $500,000 to $100,000) $400,000\n\nTotal Savings $1,857,061\n\nMore Revenue Anticipated\n\nTurning to the other side of the picture, the new or additional duties on table waters, hydrocarbon oils and liquor which were imposed with effect from January 16 have necessitated a revision of the estimate of revenue: revenue from Duties will, it is now estimated, amount to $15,690,000 instead of $13,740,000.\n\nThe estimated deficit of $7,553,776 shown in the draft estimates as presented on January 16 is thus reduced to $3,856,715.\n\nLastly, I would remind Hon. Members that every item of Special Expenditure in all departments and every item of Public Works Extraordinary requires the independent sanction of Government apart from the general provision offered by the Appropriation Bill. Should revenue fall short of expectations or should expenditure at present unforeseen be incurred, that sanction will be withheld.\n\nBesides thanking, on behalf of the Government and, I think I may say the whole Colony, the Unofficial Members for the time and labour which they gave to the preparation of the estimates in their revised form, I should like to express my particular gratitude to the Financial Secretary and to his assistant, Mr Todd.\n\nI am very conscious of my own shortcomings in this respect but I feel sure that Hon. Members will appreciate that during the past few months it has been physically impossible to devote the time and attention that are normally expected of a Colonial Secretary in framing the financial policy for the coming year. (Applause).\n\nThe Financial Secretary seconded the motion.\n\nHON. MR J. J. PATERSON\n\nParties to Evacuation Behaved Badly\n\nCONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT\n\nThe Hon. Mr J. J. Paterson said: Sir, It is usual for the official opening the debate to deal with those matters on which we are all agreed and in which no other member has any very special interest. This procedure this year leaves me little to say.\n\nWe have written His Excellency about the conduct of some of Government's affairs which we sadly feel to be bad. This will, we hope, be dealt with at another time; we do wonder how it is that, alone of all the Services and unlike the business world, no member of our local Heavenborn is ever dismissed for inefficiency. Perhaps the answer is that none is ever inefficient.\n\nThe Budget is a good Budget and on behalf of all the Unofficials I would like to thank our Financial Secretary for the very great care he has taken of the Colony's finances.\n\nWe have suggested the postponement of various works which we believe can very well keep until later and these have been agreed to, I think the result lies on the table. There is one item, however, which still remains open, the collection of nightsoil by Government at a cost of $384,000 for coolies only. We firmly believe supervision can be given to the existing arrangement until we can see more clearly what the future holds for us.\n\nThe necessity for Evacuation is at last apparent; I feel that some part of all three parties to it behaved badly—the Colonial Government which failed completely to make proper arrangements ahead of the event, some of the evacuees who continue to complain, I think, unduly of hardships which, when viewed in the bomb-light of Coventry, are little enough, and the Home Government when it failed to enforce laws laid down and allowed non-co-operation to succeed. A Trinity of Incomprehensibility which reminds me of St Athanasius, his creed.\n\nGOVERNMENT SERVICE\n\nHon. Mr Dodwell on Need For Overhaul\n\nTOO MANY COMPLAINTS\n\nThe Hon. Mr S. H. Dodwell said: Sir, Amendments to the Budget recommended by the Select Committee and agreed to by His Excellency have considerably reduced the deficit originally foreshadowed by my Honourable friend the Financial Secretary.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-584-2 Estimates 1941-2 21-2-1941 - 11-6-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 569821, "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": "CO129-584-2 Estimates 1941-2 21-2-1941 - 11-6-1941", "page_number": 93, "title": "CO129-584-2 Estimates 1941-2 21-2-1941 - 11-6-1941", "content_text": "101\n\n28\n\n# Head 6.-DEFENCE\n\n## C.-AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS.\n\nApproved Estimate, 1940-41.\n\nEstimate, 1941-1942.\n\nSub-heads :-\n\n \n 1\n Personal Emoluments\n 95,344\n \n \n \n \n Other Charges.\n \n \n \n \n 2\n Advertisements and publicity.\n 400\n 300\n \n \n 3\n Badges (A.R.P.)\n \n \n \n \n 5\n Courses of Instruction\n 2,000\n 2,600\n \n \n 4\n Conveyance Allowances\n 3,300\n 1,860\n \n \n \n \n 1,000\n 500\n \n \n 6\n Expenses of sale of respirators\n 3,120\n 3,120\n \n \n 7\n Fuel, Light and Power\n 2,000\n 1,500\n \n \n 8\n Exhibitions\n 1,250\n 1,500\n \n \n 9\n Experimental Work\n 3,000\n 2,000\n \n \n 10\n Grant-in-aid to Women's Air Raid Precautions Union\n 4,125\n 3,000\n \n \n 11\n Hire of Halls for Lectures\n 800\n \n \n \n 12\n Incidental Expenses....\n 1,000\n 2,200\n \n \n 13\n Lecturers' Fees...\n 19,200\n \n \n \n 14\n Maintenance and replacement of Training Equipment\n 10,000\n 8,000\n \n \n 15\n Publications and translation\n 3,750\n 3,000\n \n \n 16\n Rent of Public Telephones..\n 1,024\n (5)\n \n \n 17\n Transport\n \n 2,400\n \n \n 18\n Uniforms\n 316\n \n \n \n 19\n Upkeep and testing of Electrical Equipment\n 120\n \n \n \n \n Hire of Halls and Lecturers Fees\n \n 5,500\n \n \n \n Total Other Charges\n 41,565\n 67,049\n \n \n \n \n 55,420\n \n \n \n \n Special Expenditure.\n \n \n \n \n 20\n Respirators for Essential Services....\n 71,916\n \n \n \n 21\n Protective Clothing\n 73,107\n \n \n \n 22\n Syreus\n 12,000\n (8)\n \n \n \n \n 10,000\n (8)\n \n \n \n \n 5,000\n \n \n \n \n \n 5,000\n (9)\n \n \n 23\n Equipment for Air Raid Wardens and other Personnel\n 25,000\n \n \n \n 24\n Decontamination Equipment\n 20,000\n 1,000\n \n \n 25\n Grants to Essential Services\n 140,500\n 100,000\n \n \n 26\n Rescue Plant\n \n \n \n \n 27\n Miscellaneous Stores\n 5,000\n 10,000\n \n \n \n \n 3,000\n 2,000\n \n \n 28\n Incendiary Bomb Equipment for A.R.P.

The crew consisted of 10 males, 4 females and 1 child. At 11.00 hours on the 12th May, 1940, whilst lying at anchor in MAR KING with some of the cargo of rice still on board, we saw 5 aeroplanes flying towards us from the east. I did not know the identity of the planes, but as soon as we saw the planes coming we all rushed down into different holds of the junk with the exception of two who jumped into the water. After we had got into the hold I heard the sounds of machine guns and the explosion of bombs. The attack continued for about 10 minutes after which, when we could hear the planes no longer, we all came out on deck. I then saw my father KWOK YING CHUN who was on deck and noticed that he was bleeding at the back of the head; there were also two other males and two females injured by bomb splinters. Our junk was not directly hit by a bomb but another junk that was lying nearby received a direct hit and was sunk. It must have been the splinters from the hit that injured the members of our crew.\n\nAfter we had cleared our cargo we sailed for Hong Kong, arriving at Shaukiwan at 12.00 hours on the 17th May, 1940, where the injured were removed to Queen Mary Hospital. One of the wounded males was one of the two who jumped into the water.\n\nValue of 240 bags of rice was $3,000, but no cargo lost. I have 4 cannons on board the junk.\n\n(Sgd.) A.

An investigation was carried out by the Japanese military authorities, who had occupied Kongmoon soon after the air attack, and as a result they estimated the damage at ten kyu. The Japanese Consul-General offered, however, to make an ex gratia payment of $600 (Hongkong currency), equivalent to rather more than $1,400 (Canton currency). After consulting the Mission His Majesty's Consul-General, who considered that the Mission's original estimate contained some doubtful items, suggested to his Japanese colleague that $600 (Hongkong currency) would represent a fairer settlement.

Often it is the only memorial to a pioneer who deserves to be remembered; and this applies to Hongkong.\n\nRoads, hill-tops, bays and beaches, and localities in the Colony have in most cases some association which is of interest; and some of the more important of these from the point of view of old-time commemoration, are given here. A few already appear in other sections of this supplement.\n\nIt is not proposed to deal with the Chinese place-names, as these alone would require a great deal of space: in most cases, they go back before the British occupation.\n\nA few localities have specially interesting associations, and include two villages on the south of the island. These are Stanley and Aberdeen—the latter particularly puzzling to newcomers—but are merely examples of a period when picturesque native names were changed to suit the idea of some local official who wished to honour the powers in London—in this case, in 1845, it was decided to honour Lord Stanley, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the Earl of Aberdeen, who was Foreign Secretary. Two streets are also named after them. Lyndhurst Terrace was completed at that time and named after Lord Lyndhurst, who was Lord Chancellor of England; and Cochrane Street, adjoining, commemorates the Commander-in-Chief of the China squadron at the same period, Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane.\n\nOne obvious name is Stonecutters Island, where quarrying had been in operation. Not so obvious, and often wrongly interpreted, is the naming of Repulse Bay and Sulphur Channel: these are both after naval craft which were out here in the early years.\n\nA photograph taken about forty years ago, showing the Time Ball tower on its former site opposite the Water Police Station. The view is down Canton Road.\n\nIt will be noticed that in this list, many of the names are attached to some Peak and Kowloon roads, and some, having been omitted previously, were used when new streets were laid out on the Praya East reclamation. Other streets, both old and new, commemorate former Colonial Secretaries or other officials.\n\nThe naval and military surveyors, who did all the survey work before the Public Works Department had come into being, made full use of their opportunities, and both ships and commanders were commemorated. Hongkong peaks (besides the obvious commemoration of the Queen in Victoria Peak) were named after Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, who was Commander-in-Chief of the naval forces out here at the time of the occupation of Hongkong, and Major-General Sir Hugh Gough, the General Officer Commanding the troops in China at the same date (there is also a Gough Street). Commander (afterwards Vice-Admiral) Sir H. Kellett R.N., (whose ship, H.M.S. Starling, gave its name to Starling Inlet, only had a peak named after him, but also a shoal off Green Island, and the islet which the R.H.K. Yacht Club occupies. Belcher's Bay and Belcher's Street are named after Sir Edward Belcher, R.N., who carried out the first survey of Hongkong harbour, in 1841, aboard H.M.S. Sulphur.\n\n### GOVERNORS COMMEMORATED\n\nA peak and a city street commemorate an early Governor, Sir Henry Pottinger; and other past administrators and Governors honoured in the naming of streets (in their chronological order) are Mr A. R. Johnston, Sir John Davis (Mount Davis), Major-General Aguilar, Sir Samuel Bonham, Major-General Sir J. ... \n\nMr J. R. Morrison was a German missionary who acted as interpreter for Captain Elliot, and later came to Hongkong, becoming Chinese Secretary in 1843 after the death of Mr Morrison, his father.\n\nBlackhead's Point, where the signal station is at Kowloon, behind Holt's Wharf, is named after a merchant of German origin, established here in the 'fifties, whose name was anglicised from Schwartzkopf.\n\n### GREAT POISON PLOT\n\nTwo by-streets in the central city area of interest are Zetland Street (named in connection with Zetland Lodge, alongside), and Duddell Street, which recalls Mr George Duddell, who was appointed Government Auctioneer and was also made contractor to the troops in 1857.\n\nTo make a comparison between trade, finance, population, public health and other statistics of the early days of Hongkong and the present time, it is necessary to refer to the year 1844. No records are to be found between 1841 and 1844 time. In January, 1857, someone at the bakery mixed arsenic with the bread, but used such a quantity that after very little had been eaten the effects were felt, and the attempt failed: though some 400 Europeans became ill, some of them being in a serious condition.\n\nIn 1842, there was present a garrison of 700 men. In 1939 the total population of the Colony was estimated at 1,050,256, based on the 1921 census, and is probably larger to-day.\n\n### SOME OF THE CIVILIANS\n\nTo come to civilian pioneers, we have Morrison Hill probably jointly named after Mr J. R. Morrison, son of the famous sinologue the Rev. Dr Robert Morrison (who died just over six years before Hongkong became British possession), and his father.\n\nThe first record of the European population occurs in 1844, which shows that 454 non-Chinese were resident here. In the same year, 538 ships, total tonnage 184...\n\n## UNION INSURANCE SOCIETY OF CANTON, LTD.\n**(Incorporated in Hong Kong)**\n\nEstablished over a century with Branches and Agencies throughout the World.\n\n| Position | Name |\n| --- | --- |\n| General Manager | A.

This evening I am seeking a wider audience, partly because what I want to do is to go over the same ground rather more fully and partly in order to say publicly and frankly what was in my mind when I spoke in the Council.\n\nI will put my main point in the form of a question or two. Do we here in Hongkong realise fully the gravity of the situation in which the British Empire finds itself to-day? Is it really borne in upon us how imperative it is that we should now throw every ounce of our weight into the struggle which Great Britain is maintaining against the enslavement of the world? The time has gone by for complacency. The time has come to face facts: to acknowledge to ourselves that if the British Empire is to survive this war we, together with all its other colonies, have got to tighten our belts and play our part in like manner with that in which the people of Great Britain are playing theirs, at any rate so far as circumstances allow us to.\n\nThe greatest peril by far that threatens the British Empire to-day is not the German raider or invader by land, sea or air: it is not the tank, the bomb, or the torpedo that we have most to fear: our greatest danger unquestionably lies on the economic side. If Hitler is rash enough to invade the British Isles he will rue the day on which he does it—we are more than ready for him. The German submarine and raider have done us enormous harm at sea: nevertheless we are slowly and surely, with the help of good friends, winning the battle of the Atlantic. Many streets and great buildings in the cities of England, Scotland, and Wales have been smashed: but we are giving Germany's factories, docks and arsenals to-day more than she has given us; and as the months go by the scale of our attack will rise higher and higher. But all those glorious feats will avail us but little unless the Empire can find more and ever more ships, planes, arms and ammunition for our Fighting Forces wherever they may be, and food for the beleaguered people of Great Britain.\n\nCan the British Empire stand the enormous, the hitherto undreamed-of, strain on her resources which their furnishing entails? It can; but only by one way, and that is for every unit of the Empire, large and small, rich and poor, to do its utmost—and I give that word \"utmost\" its fullest meaning—to that one end. In the old phrase, it is for the British to-day a case of \"Root! Hog, or die.\" That may sound despairing to some ears; but I am at the other end of the scale from despair, knowing as I do from my own sixty years' experience, as well as from history, that once the British hog realises that he has got to root, root he does and he survives!\n\n### War Savings Certificates\n\nWell! the time has come for that process. How are we going to set about it? In the first place there is the Economic War Effort Committee. You may have tasted its first-fruits with your early morning tea, but its task is not going to be easy. A more technical bit of work which they have put through is to draft a scheme for the sale of local War Savings Certificates, which I hope will meet with the approval of the Home Authorities. But the main problems which the Committee has to solve are: \"How can the importation into Hongkong of non-essential goods be reduced to the minimum?\" \"How can the consumption in Hongkong of necessary commodities be administered with the maximum of economy?\" And lastly, \"How can these restrictions be brought about without two very dangerous reactions being entailed? That is to say, without killing the mainspring of the Colony's prosperity, our entrepot trade, and, secondly, without crippling our growing ability to supply the Navy, Army, and Air Force and the Merchant Service with what they need to fight and to win this war?\" The last perhaps is the most vitally important of the three.\n\n### Tonnage, Labour and Sterling\n\nThese three are vital factors in the Economies of War, and we must strain every nerve to conserve them to the utmost.\n\nThe scope of the Economic War Effort Committee's labours is vast, but even so it does not cover the whole field; for though I would not shut them out from consideration of its possibilities, I have not specifically mentioned taxation in their terms of reference. In taxation, however, Government has a more flexible and more effective instrument for enforcing economy within the community than any other. I do not propose to-night even to suggest how that instrument can be put into further use, but I will quote a few words from the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech in the House of Commons on the last Budget, which go straight to the fundamental principle which I have in mind: \"The primary object of these proposals is not to obtain taxation for taxation's sake, nor to raise revenue for the sake of revenue, but to make a considerable cut in purchasing power during the war.\"\n\n### Taxable Limits\n\nGiven then, that it is our bounden duty to take upon our shoulders a heavier burden of taxation—and that, I contend, cannot be refuted—there comes the question of \"ability to pay.\" That, of course, is a most intricate matter and I can only deal with it very generally to-night. I would begin by saying that any increase must be either in direct taxation—as for example through the War Revenue taxes, unless those are replaced by an Income Tax—or, if it is in indirect taxation, must concern itself solely with luxury and semi-luxury goods. The vast majority—at least 95 per cent of the people who live here certainly can bear no heavier burden than is theirs to-day—indeed their relief is one of our major problems. And there is, secondly, a large class of wage-earners who are fully taxed already: many of them, who are compelled by the hard necessity of war to keep up two homes, can clearly stand no further taxation, direct or indirect. Where above them in the social scale a taxable margin begins to appear is a question for close and expert inquiry; but, unquestionably, at the upper end there are some—relatively few it may be, but from the Treasury view-point far from inconsiderable—who are a long way from being taxed fully. Whatever their number or their nationality may be, if they are living here and have prospered here, safe under the British flag and sheltered by Great Britain's might, and if they can afford to pay more in taxes, their liability and obligation are plain: in this time of crisis they must share to the full the burden now being borne by the people of Great Britain, who are, as the saying is, already \"paying till it hurts.\"\n\nThose seeming irreconcilables have, somehow, to be woven into a consistent and positive policy by the Economic War Effort Committee. They may have some daylight for us; but it looks as though they will have to keep their own lamps burning late into the night before they find all the right answers.\n\n### Threefold Object\n\nThe objects to be served by denying ourselves everything that is not necessary for the healthy maintenance of body and soul are threefold:\n\n| Object | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (i) | Every ton of shipping space saved is a ton given to our fighting men and to the people who are bearing the real brunt of this war. |\n| (ii) | Every hour of labour switched from the manufacture of non-essentials to that of war-supplies means an earlier victory. |\n| (iii) | Every pound sterling not spent on luxuries means a better gold dollar exchange for Great Britain—and that is vital. |\n\nOne last word on the best use to which we could put the proceeds of increased taxation. The money which has been subscribed here by the public or which has been voted by the Legislature has gone to serve the highly useful purpose of helping Great Britain to pay her war bill, and His Majesty's Government has expressed a very sincere gratitude on that account. I trust that nothing that I say to-night will do harm to those voluntary Funds which are still open. But the new revenue which increased taxation would bring in calls for different treatment.\n\n### Production Value\n\nRegarded from the strictly economic point of view, the most immediately effective use to which it could be put would be to put it into production here in Hongkong; in other words to build ships—war vessels or freighters—and to produce equipment and munitions of war on the spot. By so doing not only would we help to pay Great Britain's war bill but we would also secure delivery of the goods at the same time. Every shipyard and factory at home is busy \"to capacity\" whereas here we have ample labour at our doors. The manufactures which our taxes, if spent here, would bring into being would go immediately to swell the stocks of war stores and equipment which His Majesty's Government needs for our sailors, soldiers and airmen. Lastly, the employment so given would help to keep the Colony going: and that is one of our prime imperial duties.\n\nI suppose that not a few of my hearers will think this a very disagreeable talk, to say the least of it. Well! War is a very disagreeable thing at any time; but we are getting near to the end of the second year of this one and we are, or ought to be, beyond such minor considerations! So I will end where I began. The British Commonwealth is fighting with its back to the wall. What are we in Hongkong doing to help? All that is in our power, or not yet all? And if not all, are we going to hang back? I am convinced that Hongkong's answer to that is the same as that Australia and Canada have given in the last few days: \"We will withhold nothing that is within our power to give\". Worldly wisdom alone would dictate that reply to us. I trust, however, that Hongkong will give it from a worthier motive. Let me state that motive in Mr Churchill's stirring words:\n\n\"We have but one aim and one single irrevocable purpose. We are resolved to destroy Hitler and every vestige of the Nazi regime. We shall fight him by land, we shall fight him by sea, we shall fight him in the air; until, with God's help, we will rid the earth of all those who have shadowed it and will liberate the enslaved peoples from his yoke. That is our policy and that our declaration: that course we shall pursue—faithfully and to the end.”\n\nTo be continued.\n\nPage 5\nPage 5", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-589-14 War contributions- extracts from Governor's speeches 5-7-1941 - 5-7-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 574335, "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": "CO129-589-20 Evacuation- financial arrangements 26-7-1941 - 3-1-1944", "page_number": 111, "title": "CO129-589-20 Evacuation- financial arrangements 26-7-1941 - 3-1-1944", "content_text": "## C.O.\n**REGISTERED No.**\n**DRAFT AND RECORD COPY**\n\n**LETTER SENT**\n1,1 Coding\nDATE\nCoded & sent 110 14x 14 JUN 1942 11.15 pm. 13/6/42\n\nCode Felgian\n\nMR.

This memorandum was considered, after circulation, at a joint meeting of the Executive and Legislative Councils on 22nd August, 1940, when it was decided that a sum of $1,000,000 should be made available immediately for the purpose of experimental work on tunnels and other forms of air raid shelters in suitable areas and that, although most of the work should be carried out on the Island of Hong Kong, some work should be done in Kowloon. A Special Warrant (No.317 of 1940-41) for this sum of $1,000,000 has now been covered by a supplementary vote of $1,000,000 under Head 32, War Expenditure, Sub-head 2, Extraordinary Local Defence, Item 3, Civil, which received the formal consent of the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council in Finance Message No.9 of 1940-41, Item No.184.\n\n5. In the middle of September the Director of Air Raid Precautions paid a short visit to Chungking to study the measures adopted for the protection of the populace in that much bombed city. On his return I instructed him to draw up a scheme for the protection of the whole population in the most vulnerable areas of both the Island and Kowloon.\n\nA copy of the Director of Air Raid Precautions' Memorandum dated 15th October, 1940, is enclosed. The main methods of protection which it is proposed to adopt are three:-\n\n**(a) Dispersal Areas**, i.e. unbuilt-up areas, as remote as possible from military objectives, to which the populace will be directed to proceed and where they will be provided with water supplies, latrines, food stores and such protection from the elements as is possible. In these dispersal areas protection from bomb blast and splinters will take the form of trenches.\n\n**(b) Concrete Pens**, i.e. above-ground structures", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-589-4 Air raid precautions- supply of equipment 1-11-1940 - 24-1-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 574434, "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": "CO129-589-4 Air raid precautions- supply of equipment 1-11-1940 - 24-1-1941", "page_number": 20, "title": "CO129-589-4 Air raid precautions- supply of equipment 1-11-1940 - 24-1-1941", "content_text": "19\n\n-4-\n\nconstructed from concrete blocks which will be erected in such open spaces as are available in the built-up areas.

The main limiting factor, apart from cost, is accessibility since suitable hills into which to tunnel are not to be found in the vicinity of all vulnerable areas.\n\nThe following methods of protection will also be adopted to a small extent:-\n\n6. (a) Trenches, for the construction of which very few suitable spaces are available in the built-up areas.\n\n(e) Anderson Shelters, which are generally unsuitable for this Colony because there are few houses possessing gardens in which the shelters could be sunk and because the bulk of the Chinese population cannot afford to buy them.\n\nThe matter of providing protection by the above means for the population of the vulnerable areas has been carefully considered by my Executive Council and by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council and it has been decided to provide protection to the completest possible extent and as early as possible. The total cost is estimated at approximately $8,000,000, including the $1,000,000 referred to in paragraph 4 above. In addition to the $1,000,000 which has already been formally voted in Finance Message No.9, Item No. 184, the Finance Committee has agreed informally to the appropriation of a further sum of $2,000,000 during the remainder of the present financial year.

(contd.)\n\nIn regard to the situation at present regarding tunnels, ten sites have been selected accommodating 30,800 people. Last week, progress in tunnelling was at the rate of 800 feet per week, and this will increase weekly. The cost per head is at present $18.70.\n\nIn regard to future policy, I have suggested that a further sum of $2,524,500 should be allocated, which will give protection to 165,800 people. I am of opinion that it is well worth while completing the present tunnels in toto, as the cost per head will be reduced as the work extends, thus spreading preliminary expenses over a greater frontage.\n\nI suggest that southern Wanchai can be profitably developed by the construction of further tunnels. The central area is more difficult as soon as the level of Queen's Road is left. There are still some sites in the central district that can be investigated, but the present plant and personnel are fully occupied on existing workings, although additional plant and personnel could be obtained from Manila.\n\nIt is important that bomb-proof protection should be given to the personnel working at Headquarters, e.g. C.S.O., etc. and work is now proceeding.\n\nRemembering that Chungking has achieved its present position almost entirely by tunnels, that they are the only complete protection that we have, our plant, engineers etc. on the spot, and that they are the best morale raisers, I suggest it would be a pity to abandon tunnels altogether. On the other hand we must put a limit to money and effort expended on them.

A. D. Forrest, aged 48.\n\n331\n\nOn instructions from Hon. D.M.S. I took an ambulance and brought Mr. Forrest from his home and admitted him to hospital in the early afternoon of 12.3.41. From friends I obtained a history of extreme over-work and worry, of strange behaviour with possibly suicidal threats that morning. On admission the patient was profoundly stuporose just short of coma, as a result of taking amytal (76 grains).\n\nAt 3.00 p.m. he was still stuporose; general condition good. At 4.30 p.m. he was awake and rational, though somewhat slow in speech and slightly confused.\n\nShortly after this he became noisy and demanded to be instantly discharged from hospital, and brushing aside all protest he ran to the front steps of the hospital clad only in his pyjamas, where he remained, despite all persuasion, for an hour and a quarter. I then formed the opinion, in view of the events of the day and the history of a past nervous breakdown with a supposedly suicidal attempt, that he was not in a sufficiently balanced state of mind to be allowed out of hospital, and determined to restrain him - if necessary by force. In this opinion Dr. Selwyn-Clarke concurred.\n\nHe was taken back to his ward and then lost all vestige of self-control and became violent and destructive, necessitating a heavy sedative.\n\nOn 13.3.41 he was quiet and reasonable and consented to stay in hospital for examination.\n\nOn that and subsequent days I found no physical signs of disease, but obtained a history of insomnia over a considerable period and the administration of large doses of barbiturate hypnotics. I attributed the incidents of 12.3.41 to profound nervous exhaustion.\n\nMr. Forrest was examined by Dr. Wilkinson, who found no physical signs, and the results of his laboratory investigations are appended.\n\nMr. Forrest was discharged from hospital on 16.3.41.\n\n(Signed) D.

Penalties for exceeding the meagre allowance are severe and most people sit long periods in darkness, or with one candle if they can obtain it, to avoid incurring them. Public transport is cut to the minimum. Buses have been taken off the road and trams run on a much reduced schedule; they are always overcrowded owing to the fact that all Japanese in uniform (i.e. practically all Japanese in Hong Kong) are entitled to travel free. In Kowloon, transport is reduced to rickshaws, horse-drawn vehicles (apparently using specially imported Mongolian ponies) and bicycles; with the bicycles, the technique is for the coolie to ride, carrying his passenger astride in the carrier.\n\n## \nGovernment House is being rebuilt in an exaggerated style of Japanese architecture, presumably as the official residence of the Governor.\n\nFerries are run on a half-hour service except in rush hours when the schedule is every twenty minutes; sail-driven junk ferries have also made their appearance. There are very few cars in the streets: Kotowall and Shou-Son-Chow, who seem to vie with each other in pro-Japanese fervour and anti-British advocacy, are two rare exceptions to the rule that no one in Hong Kong now runs a car. These two gentlemen are much in the public eye. The Kotowall girls are among the few women who seem able to shop for anything save the bare necessities of life. (Mrs. Zaitzeff adds grimly that the other non-essential shoppers are the prostitutes from Wanchai). Some significance may attach to the fact that the three remaining Zimmern brothers, one of whom is engaged to the younger Kotowall daughter, have now been released from internment. (Two of the original five Zimmern brothers were killed defending Hong Kong.)\n\n## \nThe Police have been reinforced by fresh Chinese contingents drawn apparently from the north. Since the first American bombings, the Indian police have grown markedly more polite to foreigners. At first, they were hostile: now Mrs. Zaitzoff frequently finds on pushing her way on to a crowded train that an Indian constable will instantly rise and offer her his seat, regardless whether Japanese are present or not. Shortly after the first American bombings, also a strange metamorphosis was observed in the Japanese Commandant of the Shan-Shiu-Po Volunteer Internment Camp. This gentleman, for the first time in eighteen months, suddenly became concerned whether his prisoners had sufficient shelter from driving rain or beating sun: forthwith had a near-by godown opened and cleared and arranged to let his charges shelter there if the rain was too heavy or the sun too hot.\n\n## \nCinemas are open in the town and show either Japanese films or pictures of the triumphs of Wang Ching Wei; when the show is frankly propagandist, admittance is free to all. Many posters have been affixed to buildings in busy parts of the town: those depict a Chinese mother standing in an attitude of protection over her children while glancing fearfully at the sky. The caption reads \"Remember that it is American planes which are killing innocent women and children\". So far as Mrs. Zaitzoff could see, those posters had no appeal whatsoever. The bombings are in fact welcomed, even when a near-miss at the Central Police Station killed upwards of 150 Chinese, including children. The successful bombing of the oil tanks at Laichi Kok was a seven-day wonder in the town. Few ships now enter the harbour: those that do frequently anchor close to the Sham-Shui-Po internment camp, presumably on the theory that they won't be bombed. The bombings have also caused a good deal of labour trouble, especially at the docks: the workers walked out and held firm against a threat of starvation. Finally, a compromise was reached whereby they now work from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. (bomb-free hours).\n\n56\n\n## \nOnly two of the air raid tunnels appear to be in use: one which opens below Battery Path behind the Hong Kong Bank; the other on Queens Road East at the entrance to Wanchai. Both are reserved for Japanese: guards at the entrances permit no one else to enter during raids, and in fact, no non-Japanese now attempts it. All large buildings in the city are being sand-bagged and the entrances protected with brick screens made from the blocks used in 1941 by the Colonial Government to construct blast-shelters for the public in open spaces. Those shelters have now been dismantled.\n\nMrs. Zaitzoff had no opportunity to see the New Territories, but they are said to be deserted, partly owing to fear of bandits and partly owing to the difficulty of getting supplies. In Kowloon, the section between the Old Kowloon Police Station and Kai Tak had been laid flat to permit an extension of the airport. Only three old planes appear to use Kai Tak regularly, and on each occasion, they have been observed to take off and disappear some minutes before the air raid warning is given.\n\n## \nAs to Zindle, Mrs. Zaitzoff considers him sincere but ineffectual through lack of courage and resolution. Mrs. Zaitzoff worked for many months on a scheme hatched by Dr. Selwyn Clarke whereby she, and a dozen Chinese ladies, called twice weekly at a local hospital, and then picked up and delivered to the camp parcels of food and medicines ostensibly addressed to individuals as presents from friends. The parcels were collected in the first instance from funds which Dr. Selwyn Clarke had persuaded...\n\n64251-1\n\n28", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-22 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 19-1-1943 - 20-11-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575290, "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": "CO129-590-22 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 19-1-1943 - 20-11-1943", "page_number": 131, "title": "CO129-590-22 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 19-1-1943 - 20-11-1943", "content_text": "## Mr \n1 Mouson \n\nYou will wish to believe his opinion.\n\nBlac 207 \n128 \n\n**SECOND COMA**", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-22 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 19-1-1943 - 20-11-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575428, "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": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 70, "title": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "# CONFIDENTIAL\n1. Report by Mr. P. BIAU, Technical Councillor of the Government of French Equitorial Africa, on leave in Hong Kong.\n\nI arrived in Hong Kong by C.N.A.C. aircraft from Fort Lamy on December 2nd at 2 o'clock in the morning on three months leave (for personal reasons). I was still in Hong Kong when it was attacked by the Japanese and during the siege I served, at my own request, at No. 1 Depot, Rescue and Demolition Squad. I was thus able to observe how the Civil Passive Defence Organisation of Hong Kong worked and the effectiveness of the different Branches belonging to it. I am bound to say that of the 6 essential services only three were efficient. These were: \n| Service | |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Fire Service |\n| (b) | The Ambulance Service (St. John's Ambulance Brigade) |\n| (c) | the Rescue and Demolition Squad |\n\nThree others, \n| Service | |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | Police and Police Reserve |\n| (b) | A.R.P. |\n| (c) | Food Control |\n\nwere inefficient beyond description.\n\n2. Police\n\nMany of the European police officials, officers included, were frequently drunk, showed no sign of initiative or co-ordination, repeated rumours and took no action to enforce discipline. For example, during the day of December 13th I was sent with a squad of coolies to rescue some Chinese who were buried under the ruins of a house which a 50 kilogram bomb had completely destroyed. From under a pile of bodies of men and women I was able to pull out a male child of about 15 months who was suffering from no external wounds; an officer of the Police Reserve (a Russian) took the child out of my hands and shot it dead with a revolver. I protested and he replied that there were already too many Chinese and that at least would make one less. I made a report to Sub-Inspector Tylor attached to our Depot who replied that the child was already mutilated.\n\n3. Another example. A launch manned by police volunteers and by engineers and architects of the P.W.D. coming across from Stonecutter loaded with 12 tons of dynamite was fired upon and caught fire and blew up with terrific force on the night of December 13th. The sentries who fired on the launch had not been advised by the police authorities and as a result 14 British lives were lost.\n\n4. A.R.P.\n\nThe A.R.P. whose Central District Headquarters were at Dina House, also worked very badly. The head wardens never came near the place and allowed the Chinese wardens to send in their reports which 9 times out of 10 were exaggerated. These wardens went to shelters immediately the bombardment started and telephoned their reports from the shelters without ever examining the damage. No wardens were ever seen during the whole of the bombardment, both European and Chinese remaining in shelters.\n\n5. Food Control\n\nThe Food Control Bureau was run by youths and young girls, the sons and daughters of a few Government officials, looked after their families and relatives and the distribution was extremely badly organised. There was no control and complete disorder.\n\n6. On the contrary, the Fire Services, both European and Chinese were very brave and energetic, working calmly under bombardment which, however, I should say was never very heavy.\n\nPage 70 \nPage 71", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575429, "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": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "page_number": 71, "title": "CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905", "content_text": "# 9 ก \n\n(1 \n\n70 \n\nBombs were rarely heavier than 100 kilos, and shells generally of 77 and 150 mms.\n\n7 \n\nThe Ambulance Service was also very effective, and the Chinese stretcher bearers worked very well indeed.\n\n8. \nThe Rescue and Demolition Squad, under the orders of the Director of Public Works, Colonel Pearce, assisted by Mr. Patterson, P.W.D. Engineer, was also very efficient. My squad at Depot No. 1, to which I was attached, saved 17 persons, and the 5 others under the command of Messrs. Weller, Graye, Holland, Reynolds, and Tu-tak-ham, rescued about the same proportion each. In the course of my duties, I had to assist in taking out the bodies of a number of Indian soldiers who had been killed and buried under the ruins of the building which was being used as the Headquarters of the volunteers. The building was in Peak Road, near the Peak Road tram stop. This building received a direct hit from a heavy bomb, probably 200 or 300 kilograms; being badly built, it was completely demolished, and of the 250 Indian soldiers who were in it, about 100 took refuge in Government Tunnel. They were so overcome by fear that it was impossible to get them to come out for 5 days. All the others were killed. Our squad succeeded with great difficulty in getting out 16 bodies from under the ruins. The remainder were covered with lime.\n\n9. \nThe Governor of Hong Kong, His Excellency Sir Mark Young, visited the scene while rescue work was on; he was extremely friendly, very attentive, calm, and decided, and also very optimistic, and he impressed me strongly with his calm courage and resolution. I was very sorry to learn that the Japanese kept him in solitary confinement at the Peninsular Hotel.\n\n10. The work of Naval and Military Demolition Squads was absolutely ineffective. No essential service was interrupted for more than a week. The Naval dockyard was working as before, and the dry dock was not in any way damaged. The Naval Work Shops at Kowloon, the electric power station, and the ferry were all working normally. I would here say that no British technical staff co-operated with the Japanese. In the Japanese newspaper \"Hongkong News\", which has taken the place of the \"South China Morning Post\", it is obvious that a British subject is collaborating. It is, however, impossible to say who this is or to give the names of any other collaborators.\n\n11. The fall of Hong Kong after only a semblance of defence of 19 days surprised many people. It would appear that the defence was not as thorough as it should have been; there was little co-operation, no offensive spirit; men were badly trained, living in too much comfort, and knowing nothing about the nature of the battle area. The troops were also allowed too much alcohol.\n\n12. Immediately after the armistice, the Chinese set about looting systematically all European houses and caused more damage than the Japanese bombardment. The contempt of the Chinese for the whites has become more and more marked after the fall of Hong Kong and Singapore.\n\n13. I left Hong Kong without difficulty on the 16th of March. I had to leave my wife there. I feel that as from April 1st, it would be very difficult for a neutral to live there. All Consulates were shut on the 9th of March by the orders of the Japanese Governor, and the French Consul, Mr. Reynaud, who did everything he could to assist Free Frenchmen to escape, helped me and my friend Captain Chevillard. The journey from Hong Kong to Fort Bayard (Kwang Chun Wan) was made on board the s.s. Shirogane Maru, and we arrived on the morning of the 18th.

They are not very happy. Men are busy repairing the damage which was done by bombs.

Fujita told me that it was their plan to force the Chinese back to their native villages. Shortly the whole colony would be run by the Navy Dept. The military and some of the gendarmerie will be leaving. Large numbers of military have already left. This is obvious as many of the buildings where they were housed have now been evacuated. Transports have been seen in the harbour for the last few days. There are also a large number of Jap. merchant ships lying at wharves and towards Green Island, awaiting convoy.\n\nThere are still certain sections of the city without light and few people are on the streets after dark. Smaller streets between the main roads have built double bamboo barricades which are closed and locked at night to prevent armed robbers of which there seems to be quite a large number. Shots are heard quite frequently at night. And today I saw a man being beaten by the Jap. Gendarmes. Supposed to be a looter. He had every appearance of being dead when I last saw him.\n\nVery heavy explosion today at 1.30 pm. sounded almost like a bomb or a big shell. There is still an unexploded bomb lying in the road outside Princes building.\n\n## 19th Jan. 1942.\n\nToday for the first time since 10th Dec. I was allowed to return to my flat. Had no difficulty in getting there and were not stopped by sentries. The locks on every door had been smashed, and I was not surprised to find my own door standing wide open. I have never seen anything like the completeness of the looting in my flat. Everything had gone, including my cooker and Frig. There was not a torn piece of paper or a broken glass left. It was like walking into a new flat for rent. Whilst I was there a Naval officer came in and asked me who I was. I said \"this is my flat\" to which he replied in excellent English, \"It was your flat, it isn't any longer\". From the flat went up to Rosary Hill and the soldiers told me the explosion yesterday was the result of a Jap. Cruiser going down in Deep Water Bay. Took me up the hill and showed me three funnels which were showing out of the water.\n\nOver dinner again got into conversation through E. with some Jap. officers. One said \"we know we shall lose in the long run but if anything happens in H.K. there will be nobody left to talk about it. We shall see to that\".\n\n## 20th Jan. 1942.\n\nRumours are about the town regarding internees being sent to Stanley. They have been told by the Japs. that they will be leaving in a few days but nothing seems to have been settled as to which buildings are to be used. There is still a lot of argument going on.

I accept the evidence of Colonel Lamb that the regiment was fully trained and practised (including range practice) in the use of these weapons.\n\nPractice in firing the Tommy-gun was not possible to Canadian battalion before October, 1941, as they have only recently been equipped with them. There are 42 Tommy-guns in the establishment of a battalion. This gun is a useful weapon for close fighting. It is simple to understand and use.\n\nThe anti-tank rifle is a high velocity, single shot rifle capable of firing armour-piercing bullets. In general, in its mechanism and use, it is similar to an ordinary rifle. There are now 25 anti-tank rifles in the establishment of a battalion; these are carried and intended to be used by the headquarters personnel of each platoon and by various platoons of the headquarters company. Until recently, this weapon and its ammunition have not been available to Canadian units.\n\nAs to the grenade, or Mills bomb, I am satisfied, on the evidence, that a soldier practised in the use of \"dummy\" bombs (which are similar in all respects to \"live\" bombs, except that they contain no charge of high explosive) would be capable of effectively using \"live\" bombs in actual operations. Training both in Canada and in England in fact is given with the \"dummy\" bomb and \"live\" bombs are reserved for use against the enemy.\n\nSpeaking generally, the Royal Rifles had no firing practice with the Tommy-gun, nor had they been trained in the mechanism and use of the anti-tank rifle, but the evidence satisfies me that soldiers completely trained and practised in the rifle and Bren gun could quickly master both the anti-tank rifle and the Tommy-gun. They were fully trained in the mechanism and use (tactical and otherwise) of the 3\" mortar. They had only one 2\" mortar for one month for instructional purposes, but again I am satisfied, from the evidence, that from their knowledge and training in other weapons they could quickly master the 2\" mortar.\n\nThe Winnipeg Grenadiers were mobilized as a machine gun battalion at Winnipeg on September 1, 1939, at the outbreak of the present war. Before mobilization, the regiment was a reserve unit in the Non-Permanent Active Militia. The regiment trained in Winnipeg during the autumn and winter of 1939-40. In the spring of 1940, it was assigned to garrison duties in the West Indies, relieving an Imperial Army battalion stationed there. The battalion reached the West Indies late in May and early in June, 1940, and remained there on duty for more than a year. It returned to Canada in three flights on the 9th of September, 1941, 21st September, 1941, and 8th October, 1941. Almost immediately, it was warned for duty overseas.\n\nAt the time of mobilization and until June, 1941, the battalion was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel O. M. M. Kay, who is now attached to National Defence Headquarters at Ottawa with the rank of Brigadier. Lt.-Col. Kay was succeeded in command of the regiment in June, 1941, by Lieutenant-Colonel J. L. R. Sutcliffe, who had been second-in-command from the date of mobilization. Colonel Sutcliffe, who went with his regiment to Hong Kong, was an experienced officer who served in several theatres of war in the last World War. I had the advantage of hearing the evidence of Brigadier Kay, who was able to give a full description of the character and training of the Winnipeg Grenadiers while they were under his command prior to June, 1941. Brigadier Kay says:-\n\nThe officers all knew one another and had known one another and worked together for a period of not one year but three or four years. The N.C.O's were known by all of the officers and were old reliable trained N.C.O.'s. Working in a garrison where you worked in small groups, the men are in constant contact with the N.C.O.'s, and the N.C.O. and the officer knows the capability of every man he has. Individually, if they worked and were known well together, and they worked in small groups well, they would work well in a mass.\n\n29\n\nHe said, speaking from his knowledge of the training and state of efficiency at which the battalion had arrived in the summer of 1941, that it was fit for duty at Hong Kong.\n\nAll of the officers, save one, had been peace-time officers, and a number of them had seen service overseas in the last war. A large percentage of the N.C.O's had been in the battalion when it was a reserve unit and had come into the active service battalion on mobilization. Brigadier Kay says his officers were capable and that they and the N.C.O's were well-trained. Over fifty per cent of the rank and file had been in the reserve battalion and enlisted on mobilization, and many of the men came from the northern mining districts of Manitoba.\n\nGeneral Crerar says:-\n\nAs regards Winnipeg Grenadiers, I had studied the periodic training reports on this unit while in the West Indies, forwarded by its O.C., which indicated that within the pre-occupation of its garrison duties, it was successfully progressing in its tactical and weapons training. I also had first-hand information furnished by its O.C., Lieutenant-Colonel Kay, who reported to Ottawa in the summer of 1941 to take up appointment as D.A.G. Lieutenant-Colonel Kay then informed me that his unit was ready and restless for more active service, and expressed the hope that it would not be brought back to Canada in the meantime. I advised Lieutenant-Colonel Kay at that time that my reason for return of Winnipeg Grenadiers to Canada was that while it was probably quite fit for garrison responsibilities, it would be desirable to give it a short period of unit and refresher training before embodying it in field formations, destined for overseas. As this unit had been mobilized for two years, had experienced and successfully undertaken more independent responsibilities than any other unit in Canada, had been favourably reported upon to me in some detail by its late C.O., Brigadier Kay, its general fitness for active service after a short period of refresher training was specially indicated.\n\nThe evidence leaves no doubt in my mind that the confidence of the Chief of the General Staff in the personnel of officers, N.C.O's, and men was well founded.\n\nThis battalion, having been mobilized as a machine gun battalion, its establishment differed from that of an infantry battalion. During the autumn and winter of 1939-40, it trained as a machine gun battalion using the Vickers machine gun as its principal weapon. The training was carried out in a progressive manner on a syllabus of training prepared by the General Staff Officer of Military District No. 10, and under his observation. By May, 1940, the battalion had done its individual, section, platoon, and company training. During that period, also, the anti-aircraft platoon of the headquarters company trained with the Lewis machine gun. The battalion also had two anti-tank rifles for training purposes and was equipped with rifles and revolvers. Individual training with rifles had been completed. Prior to May, 1940, the training with these weapons did not include firing at outdoor ranges.\n\nOn May 13, 1940, the battalion was inspected by an Inspector-General, who reported that at that time the senior officers were all good, with one exception, who was said to be fair. The junior officers \"are of good type-good education-all qualified and reported as satisfactory\". The non-commissioned officers were \"all of good type-well qualified and reported on as efficient-above average\". The rank and file were \"good class-excellent physique-have made very good progress in training\".\n\nWith regard to musketry, this report states that all the battalion had fired Part I on the miniature range but had not fired their classification with service rifles. The anti-aircraft platoon had fired its 25-yard classification with the light machine gun, and about 600 men had fired Parts 3 to 5 with the Vickers gun, 400 qualifying as 1st and 2nd class shots. With regard to this, the report\n\n136", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575991, "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": "CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943", "page_number": 144, "title": "CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943", "content_text": "·172\n\n-3\n\nAt this time from MTB.10 I observed nearby shelling of Stonecutter's Island and batteries there from some unknown Japanese position and HMS CICALA was seen sheltering from a bomb attack close in to the shore of Chung Hue Island. I understand she was hit on the stern with little damage, but slipped into Taikoo Dockyard for repairs this night.\n\nAfter dark MTB subdivisions took up the following stations: 10 and 08 off Putoi, 11 and 27 off Haiwan, 07 and 09 at Tathong boom. The Extended Defence Officer ordered an attack on ships which had been reported to him by military as burning searchlights to the southeast of Putoi, but this was later cancelled. The searchlights were not seen by MTB's from Putoi. State of sea 4 and torpedo doors had to be kept on if lying stopped to prevent flooding of after compartment, so conditions for an extended search and attack were not good. A plane with navigation lights believed Japanese flying between Hong Kong and the Loma Islands was observed and reported. I understand it was on this night that the army centre and left flank in Kowloon commenced rapid retreat.\n\nDecember 11th. On Thursday, December 11th, there was some bombing of Aberdeen but no particular damage, but the HKRVR auxiliary patrol vessel (A.P.V.) Indira at sea had 2 killed and was slightly damaged about the rudder by bombs.\n\nAbout noon HMS \"Thracian\" later steaming into harbour to lie off Aberdeen Dock, and all AFV's were ordered to shell all junks out of Picnic Bay, Lamma Island, as Japanese were thought to have a party on the island ready to come across in junks. Some junks were sunk. I consider the Chinese HKRVR crews of APV's did not relish this work against their own class of junks; may have been a contributory cause to their defection which gradually took place, until on Dec. 19th when AFV's were scuttled there were practically no Chinese RNVR ratings left. During this shelling, MTB.10 and 08 were stationed at the south end of Aberdeen Channel to prevent junks making for Aberdeen.\n\nAt 1345 all available MTB's were ordered to east of Kowloon Peninsula to evacuate troops retreating to Kai Tak Fiers. MTB's 10, 11, 08, 07, 09, 26 and 27 proceeded. MTB's 08 and 09 were used by the Commodore to take him about the harbour to various points. The Commodore ordered MTB.08 to fire one torpedo at Tamar moored off Wanchai to sink her, but no effect was observed and it is my opinion that the 40 feet initial dive of the torpedo carried it to the bottom, depth of water being insufficient. Tamar was later scuttled. No troops arrived during the afternoon, so opportunity was taken to investigate the depth of water alongside Kai Tak bund and seaplane slipways which was insufficient for Scott Paine MTB's except in grave emergency. Kai Tak air station west pier was not available owing to a damaged British plane sunk off it, but the West Kai Tak Ferry Pier was available and the Commanding Officer of MTB.26 appointed as Pier Master. MTB.27 was stationed at the East Kai Tak Slipway in case troops came that way.\n\nAfter dark MTB's 11 and 07 were anchored in Kowloon Bay keeping W/T watch for flotilla, while MTB.10 and 26 went alongside the West Kai Tak Ferry Pier to evacuate troops. Commandeered ferry boats under RNR Lieutenants from K Naval Yard were also doing this work. No opposition by enemy encountered. MTB.26 took 20 soldiers and MTB.10 took 30 and proceeded with them to Hong Kong Naval Yard, there receiving orders for MTB's to return to Aberdeen. A very dark night and when returning after midnight MTB.10 struck wreckage in harbour with propeller.\n\nI understand that the Tathong Boom was abandoned on this night 11th/12th. MTB's were not sent out afterwards in usual patrol stations this night.\n\nUp to date, although MTB's had had nothing spectacular to do, their...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575995, "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": "CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943", "page_number": 148, "title": "CO129-590-25 Accounts of events leading up to surrender and subsequent treatment of prisoners- etc 23-4-1942 - 28-9-1943", "content_text": "176\n\nunseen fired 2 torpedoes at enemy but I consider depth may have been inadequate if 40' initial dive took place and 27 then made off at full speed for south point of Lantau, fire being evenly divided between 10 and 27 beyond her, the firing on 11 and 12 having ceased. The firing on 10 and 27 stopped for about 2 minutes and then appeared to go on for some time which gave 11 and 12, now on west side of Lafsami Island in deeper water, a chance to attack, and so 11 turned north for a short time and fired a torpedo at enemy, the range being about 1,400 - 1,500 yards but probably too great to hope for a hit against 2 small torpedo boats or minesweepers, as the enemy appeared to be.\n\nWhen 10 and 27 got Lafsami Island between themselves and enemy, the firing was masked and all boats proceeded independently to Hamiwan rendezvous. The enemy appeared to have 2 powerful searchlights, 3 inch, pom-pom and some form of .5 tracer gun, and was concluded to be 2 minesweepers surprised resting stopped or nearly stopped off Chung Chai Si. The following signal was sent from Hamiwan by V2 to XDO \"Enemy engaged by 11 and 12 and 10 and 27 6 miles west of Lantau South point 2130 to 2200 torpedoes used 1 and 1 and 0 and 2; MTB'S off Hamiwan now T.0.0.0040/16\". Orders were then received for 11 and 12 to remain Hamiwan and 10 and 27 to go to Telegraph Bay, returning as usual just before daylight. It should be noted that camouflage painting was probably a good thing but smoke-producing apparatus would have been better when escaping from this attack. I find it impossible to state whether a hit was scored by either MTB 11 or 27, the latter being the most probable if a hit was made. A Tokyo newspaper report about this time stated Japanese Naval forces had been engaged in Hongkong waters and suffered losses.\n\nDecember 16th. On Tuesday, 16th December, 11 and 12 reloaded from torpedo lighter but MTB 27 found that no Thorneycroft type war heads had been sent to Aberdeen by N.A.S.0. so could not reload. A very clear day with THRACIAN in Aberdeen dry dock, so that concentrated Jap bombing attacks started from 0730, not very well aimed till about noon when bombs well straddled harbour. MTB's were scattered as far as possible in the afternoon without interfering with communications.\n\nA heavy bomb fell near ROBIN, where MTB's 10 and 26 were lying and there was some splinter damage. I understand ROBIN had one or two casualties, MTB 10 had 3 splinters through hull and a Lewis gun destroyed and MTB 26 had a revolver on conning house destroyed. Another heavy bomb fell on Aberdeen Dock Head, killed the Lieutenant of the Yard and wounded others; splinters also set MTB 08 on slip fiercely on fire, after which she blew up. The tug GATLING at dockhead was also hit and set on fire, most of the crew being killed. The GATLING whose Chinese crew had ceased to function was manned by merchant service officers (in this case from Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson's floating staff) who had volunteered to work on naval craft. The Commodore and Extended Defence Officer came to Aberdeen to inspect damage. GATLING showed signs of settling near MTB slipway, the Extended Defence Officer, myself on shore from MTB 10 and a Lieut. R.N.R. towed her clear with a small motor boat, other personnel being fully employed fire-fighting and assisting casualties. MTB 08's officers and crew were now allotted to MTB Base Maintenance, base telephone and spare crew duties.\n\nMTB Night patrols this night as follows:- 10 and 09 to Hamiwan, 07 and 26 to Telegraph Bay. THRACIAN this night was taken out of dry dock and beached on Ngan Chan Island, Repulse Bay.\n\nDecember 17th.

Thursday, December 25th, opened with a bomb dropped on West side of Aberdeen Island near MTB berth, anchorage then being shifted close inshore, and it was discovered that Aberdeen Harbour was commanded by field gun fire and Aberdeen Channel by machine-gun fire from Bonnott's Hill.\n\nMTB 10's transmitter broke came out of order and could not be put right so all signals had to be passed visually to another boat for transmission; in addition coding with an emergency 'playfair' code had to be done by Officers, so that on this day when speed was vital I was considerably handicapped. At 1515 I received from DO the single word \"00\" T.0.0. 1315, later receiving \"Co all boats T.0.0. 1555\". As I had not got the two important Chinese personages, Admiral Chan Chak and Colonel S.K Yee on board and had no news of them, and as also movement by daylight would be obvious to the enemy, I consulted with Mr. F.V.K. with whom I had been told by the Commodore and IDO to collaborate closely in the matter of escape from Hongkong and I decided to wait, delay being of mutual advantage. In view of Commodore's signal 1540/20/12/41 to S.N.O. \"Should you be forced to withdraw from Aberdeen send all you have afloat to Sandy and Tolograph Bays\" I kept MTB's 07 and 09 together. MTB 11, MTB 10 and 27 (transmitting boat for 10) kept together thus putting MTB's at several possible picking up points. I sent the following signal to XDO \"Propose go after dark must pick up two Chinese at Aberdeen Dock. Can I enter after dark 1530/25\", and receiving no reply I sent the following signal to Commodore \"Ask Commissioner of Police for Chan and Yee to rendezvous Queen Mary Hospital entrance from seven p.m. important 1655/25\".\n\nThe following reply from Commodore was received \"Your 1655 not approved proceed immediately with K.1830/25\", but by the time this was received and decoded I had already made contact with part of Admiral Chan Chak's party and had them to complete the operation if feasible and advisable as I so considered it from my knowledge of the conditions obtaining.\n\nAbout 1830 Lieutenant Commander Moorath of DO's staff with a Mr. Halliday, Merchant Service Engineer, appeared in a rowing boat from Aberdeen Harbour, with verbal instructions to me from XDO to go but at this time MTB 27 signalled to me that a man was swimming out to us from Aberdeen Island and he proved to be the advance party of Admiral Chan Chak's party whose motor boat had been machine-gunned while mistakenly passing Bonnett's Hill (military officers were on board who must have known enemy was in occupation) on their way to join MTB's by Aberdeen Channel instead of by the safer route by Aberdeen Harbour where only shellfire could have been encountered. Lieutenant Commander Moorath had come by that way and encountered only desultory shellfire. The latter having delivered his message to me, elected with Mr. Halliday to join the escape party.\n\nI was informed that Admiral Chan Chak and party were hiding and that Colonel Yee was believed killed. I then sent MTB 11 to contact the other MTB's 07 and 09 as W/T communication was not satisfactory, with instructions to them to suit my orders. MTB 11's starters would not work and MTB 10 had to lash alongside and \"tow her engines in\" both boats passing in range of field gun on way to Tolograph Bay. On return MTB 10 received one or two shots close and so I concluded that no surrender or immobilisation of craft could have taken place or fire would have ceased; thus no scruples about escaping after possible surrender were felt.\n\nDecember 25th. About 1900 MTB 10 and 27 then proceeded to take escaped party from Headquarters on board by skiff from Aberdeen Island, party consisting of Major Goring, Squadron Leader Oxford, Captain MacMillan, Captain Guest of the Staff, also Mr. Robinson of Indian Police, Messrs. MacDougal and Ross of the Ministry of Information and Admiral Chan Chak's Flag Lieutenant Commander Hsu Hong and his coxswain.

V2 was standing by the telephone and at about 0900 he sent for me and told me 10 and 27 were now proceeding as far as Green Island and I was to remain by the phone for further orders from XDO.\n\nThe first order I received from XDO was to tell 10 and 27 not to wait at Green Island for orders but carry straight on into the harbour.\n\nAbout ten minutes later I was told that 11 and 12 should now proceed and wait off Green Island. 11 however had just left \"Robin\" so that 11 and 12 passed 10 and 27 almost off Magazine Island, and V2 told me to take his place as he had engine trouble.\n\nI therefore proceeded straight round Mt. Davis past the R.N. Dockyard and so into Kowloon Bay, speed 30 knots. We have no information that the Japs were on the Island and were therefore somewhat surprised when a heavy and accurate fire was opened on me from the shore by North Point.\n\nThis consisted of machine gun fire, howitzer or mortar. I started to zig-zag violently and kept well in the middle of the Bay. No landing craft were now crossing the harbour, in fact none were visible. I looked around and saw 12 was still following. I decided that we could do nothing useful so altered course to withdraw.\n\nShortly after the Japs had opened fire on me we were hit several times and my Coxswain was wounded in the neck. The S.P.O Stoker Petty Officer Stonell took over the wheel. Wheel was put hard to port and not reducing speed and I made a large turning circle in the centre of Kowloon Bay.\n\nWhen I next had a chance to turn round I could see no sign of 12. Fire was opened on us from Kowloon Peninsula as I passed the R.N. Dockyard and then inside the boat boom, being now rather close to that shore. Later, I was attacked by aircraft. I kept up a constant zig-zag however, and was not hit.\n\nOn asking my ratings if they had seen what happened to 12 they said she stopped and clouds of white smoke were issuing from her. On reaching the south side of Mt. Davis I called Mt. Davis on the lamp \"Passing to XDO no landing craft lost 12\". While doing this however, at slow speed (10 knots) I was again attacked by aircraft which dive bombed me. I had just time to accelerate and the bomb was a very near miss astern. 27 and 26 were then just off Mt.

Before the war, the Navy accommodated its few shore-based personnel in the old wooden \"Tamar\". This looked after the 200 odd men that had to be accounted for. In addition, there was a fairly modern accommodation block in the Dockyard that catered for crews of small ships undergoing refit in the Naval Yard. The very few ratings required to run the W/T station at Stonecutters were easily accommodated on that Island. The Officers, for their part, amounted to about fifty, and of these, some thirty lived out.\n\n3. With a modern Fleet of large Battleships and Carriers arriving to liberate the port, over-crowding of all shore-side amenities was inevitable, particularly as most of the buildings had been stripped of furniture and, in many cases, of all removable wood. The old \"Tamar\" ship was lying sunk in the Harbour.\n\n4. On the lower level in Victoria, considerable bomb damage to the sewage system was a major problem. The sewers, in many cases, had been added to from time to time, and in some cases, no knowledge was available as to the runs of the pipes. Up the Peak, however, there was little general war damage, with the exception of the houses and large buildings right on the summit, but there was a terrible amount of damage from looting. Most sanitary fittings had been smashed or removed, practically no cooking appliances were in place, and, of course, no supplies of such commodities existed in Hong Kong. Further, the repairs were made more difficult by a lack of wood, glass, paint, and very nearly every detail of modern domestic economy.\n\n5. In the early stages, the weather was wet, but improved until, by late September, it was perfect. This helped in large measure, particularly those men under canvas or with leaky roofs. But the hot days were not very good for the sewage troubles, nor for the many heaps of rubble from smashed buildings.\n\n6. Great efforts were made to clear up and get the main services working once again. Gradually, the lights came on in houses further and further up the Peak, and, in fact, this indication of recovery was a sort of nightly graph that one watched with considerable interest. Similarly, water pipes had to be repaired, and pumping machinery refitted.\n\n(77)\n\n7. As the numbers of Naval ratings ashore approached and passed the 1300 mark, more and more buildings had perforce to be taken for their accommodation. The China Fleet Club was requisitioned against the interest of the Fleet and used as a Barrack for some 400 men; the St. Francis Hotel housed a further 200, and then a few were put into the old H.K. R.N.V.R. Headquarters. By agreement, the General Officer Commanding handed over Wellington Barracks for Naval use. This building had been bombed and was in a bad way with many faults. However, at the end of a month, men began to be billeted there.\n\nAs regards officers, the senior ones were accommodated in the Gloucester Hotel, and three other hotels were taken complete and used for officer accommodation. The reason for this was the fact that, in place of the old peace-time establishment of 50 officers and a number of Dockyard officers living, for the most part, in private houses, some 250 officers now had to be housed. This figure rose to over 300 with the advent of the Commander-in-Chief, British Pacific Fleet, from Sydney.\n\n8. A number of officers were initially billeted in the Peninsula Hotel, Kowloon, but their number was reduced considerably with the opening of the inter-service hostel.\n\n9. Accommodation for some 80 officers forming Commander-in-Chief's Staff had to be found and rehabilitated. Considerable work was involved, and many man-hours were put into preparing the houses for occupation. At first, the date of arrival was in doubt, but eventually, the many tasks were completed just in time.\n\n10. The general directive was to requisition only ex-enemy property, which somewhat cut down the available buildings. However, all difficulties were overcome. Furniture was acquired for the houses from Australia and, to a small degree, from the Custodian of Enemy Property. Cooking appliances came up from Brisbane; refrigerators came up one by one in various ships, and so it all took shape. All were satisfied with the result.\n\n11. Now the effort is in reverse, and every attempt is being made to de-requisition. Surplus officers are sent home or into other disposal pools, and men on shore are being reduced. The enormous increase in personnel is due, in the main, to the large number of communication ratings required to keep a Fleet of modern-equipped ships up to date with information.

By the first of March, the reduction in ratings has resulted in the de-requisitioning of the St. Francis and Metropole Hotels, the release of some thirty beds in the Luk Kwok Hotel and the reduction in numbers by some 150 in the China Fleet Club.\n\n13. In addition to houses for personnel, there have of course been a number of godowns taken for store purposes.\n\n14. On the amenities side, the urgent requirement of an Officers' Club was apparent. Accordingly the Commodore directed that steps be taken to start a club without delay. In this case, an inter-service committee was formed and ran the top floor of the Gloucester Hotel, the Lido at Repulse Bay, the Kellett Island Yacht Club and eventually the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel Kowloon as one club which was named the Combined Services Club. It has been a great success, and without doubt supplied a very real need.\n\n15. For the ratings, various clubs had been started by the Chaplains, for the most part in leased premises. A convalescent and leave centre was supplied by requisitioning the Repulse Bay Hotel.\n\n16. As regards games and swimming facilities, a very early drive was made and quite a number of grounds for organised games were quickly in commission. These are shown in Appendix 1.\n\n17. An important requirement was hospitalisation for the large numbers in the Colony. The two top floors of the Government-controlled Queen Mary's Hospital were acquired and equipped by the Medical Officer with gear and supplies from Australia. The old R.N. Hospital at Wanchai is considered wholly unsuitable, and permission is awaited from the Admiralty to go ahead with the building of a new R.N. Hospital on a fine site already earmarked. Meanwhile an agreement has been reached that the Navy are to rehabilitate the War Memorial Hospital sufficiently to render it useable. The Navy will then take this hospital for three years, and release the Queen Mary. During this time the intention is to build a new Naval Hospital.\n\n(79)\n\nAPPENDIX 1\n\nBy the time Liberating Forces were able to turn to organised games (at the beginning of October 1945), the grounds etc., made available after filling in bomb craters, cutting grass etc., were:-\n\n \n 2.\n 3 Soccer grounds at Causeway Bay on the old R.N.

It is true that the bomb damage in Malta was much greater than in Hong Kong, though even here the Wharf and dockyard areas suffered severely. I do not think, however, that the extent of the damage which this Colony has suffered from looting and general lack of maintenance is fully realised. It is very great indeed. The description of the damage contained in paragraph 8 of this despatch does not only apply to Government quarters. It applies to at least 60% of all buildings formerly in European occupation. I feel, therefore, that the amount of damage in Hong Kong, though only partly the result of bombing, is such as to justify an approach to His Majesty's Government with a view to the case of this Colony receiving the same consideration as has already been accorded to Malta.\n\nI do\n\n17.\n\nAn accurate estimate of the damage to buildings will no doubt be prepared by the Claims Commission when they visit Hong Kong, and this may differ considerably from the rough figure of $187 million which has already been arrived at.

INTRODUCTORY\n\nJanuary, 1942—August, 1945\n\nOwing to my sudden and unexpected departure from Hong Kong as a patient on a hospital ship, most of my records were left behind, and, as I have not been able to recover them, I regret that this report cannot be as detailed and as statistically accurate as I would have wished. However, as far as it goes, I trust the account given will present a fairly clear picture of the public health situation in Stanley Camp, the problems encountered, how they were dealt with and the results obtained.\n\n## 2. STANLEY CAMP\n\nThe camp was opened by the Japanese in January, 1942, for the segregation, and protection of British, American, Dutch and Belgian nationals in Hong Kong at the time of its occupation by the enemy. It was situated on Stanley Peninsula, about 1 mile by road from the City of Victoria, and was confined to the area between Stanley Village and the Hong Kong Prison. Originally it covered an area of about 75 acres but successive reductions, usually as measures of collective punishment, reduced it to less than 50 acres. Each reduction added to the difficulties of public health work as it made inaccessible to internees mosquito and fly breeding areas in close proximity, and drains and septic tanks serving the camp. Although on a narrow peninsula, the camp was surrounded by a barbed wire fence and access to the foreshore and beaches was not normally allowed, a restriction which seriously affected mosquito control measures. From an aesthetic and climatic point of view the site was probably the best in the Colony and this undoubtedly played an important part in maintaining the health and morale of internees. The distance from the densely populated urban areas was a distinct advantage which gave a high degree of protection against the introduction of infectious disease; nearness to the sea was of importance during the hot summer weather and many of the buildings were of fairly recent construction. One serious disadvantage was the close proximity of the Hong Kong Prison where the constant stream of new arrivals from town and the lack of sanitary control constituted a constant menace to the health of the camp. Fly-breeding within the prison was extensive and the presence there of large numbers of diseased and neglected prisoners gave rise, I am convinced, to periodic outbreaks of intestinal disease in camp.\n\n## 3. THE CLIMATE\n\nThis was beyond the control of the Japanese Authorities and was generally good. Rather hot in midsummer, it was sometimes very cold in winter. The winter of 1944-45 was particularly cold with temperatures at times as low as 40° F. and this was a great hardship to a community badly nourished, inadequately clothed and bedded, and lacking such essentials as heating and lighting. Over the whole period, however, the climate was generous to Stanley internees.\n\n## 4. WATER SUPPLIES\n\nThese were obtained from the Colony's main system and an adequate piped supply was maintained until November, 1944, when a complete stoppage was threatened owing to lack of power for pumping purposes. A gravity supply was possible by a simple manipulation of valves at a high-level reservoir but this solution of the problem was rejected by the authorities \"for military reasons.\" Wells and streams in and around the camp were quickly put in such order as the limited supplies of cement and other essentials allowed and a supply of about five gallons per head per day became available. But this amount could not be carried by the able-bodied men in camp nor were there anything like sufficient receptacles for transport and storage. There was also the major problem of nightsoil disposal. Trenches were dug by internees in remarkably quick time but the authorities failed to supply materials for stances and superstructures. An issue of 40 shallow pans and 18 old five-gallon oil drums was made to meet the requirements of 2,500 people. The outlook was serious, but eventually, as a result of the strong and repeated protests of the Representative of Internees, the Japanese agreed to give a piped supply every third day. This was later reduced to every 5 days with a maximum of 100,000 gallons for the period or eight gallons per head per day. This would have been fairly satisfactory, but, unfortunately, storage facilities were poor and the water main was incapable of supplying 100,000 gallons while the water was on. During this difficult and anxious period, piped supplies were supplemented by water from wells and a scheme of regular inspections of toilet facilities prevented any serious lapses in that direction. With the arrival of early summer rains, the situation became easier and by June, the water supply was on for six hours daily.\n\nFrom the beginning, supplies were suspect as no information was available regarding the methods of purification, if any, in operation. Accordingly, all precautions were taken, and boiled and chlorinated water was supplied in all sections of the camp. While there were adequate supplies of chlorinated water, the amount of boiled water available was limited to approximately 2 pints per head daily. Sometimes, owing to lack of fuel, this was reduced or even stopped for several days at a time. A good supply of chloride of lime sent into camp at the beginning from Health Department Stores lasted throughout internment; in fact, on VJ Day, there was sufficient in stock to last a further 12 months. Water from wells in camp, used to supplement piped supplies during restricted periods, was all boiled as such was almost certain to be grossly contaminated owing to the authorities' insistence on the use of nightsoil as a fertiliser on camp vegetable gardens.\n\nThe precautions taken appear to have been adequate as the water supply was not at any time incriminated as a source of disease.\n\n## 5. DRAINAGE\n\nSurface drainage was satisfactory but chokages occasionally occurred outside the camp. These were dealt with, when and where possible, by an anti-malarial gang which was sometimes allowed to operate outside the camp boundary. Sewage was disposed of by means of seven septic tanks, four of which were outside camp limits and entirely dependent on the anti-malarial gang for inspection and maintenance. These tanks dealt with excreta from a population much in excess of that for which they were designed and on the whole stood up well to the strain. The carelessness of some internees led to many avoidable chokages in underground drains and these were difficult to deal with owing to lack of equipment. For instance, a set of drainage rods could often have prevented heavy digging operations but all appeals for such were ignored by the Japanese.\n\n## 6. VITAL STATISTICS\n\nThe population of the camp varied from a maximum of 2,863 in April, 1942 to 2,400 in 1945 with an approximate average of 2,500. The main reductions were caused by the repatriation of United States nationals in 1942 and Canadians in 1943.\n\nChildren under 16 numbered about 300 in 1942 and remained about that figure. Over 16, males exceeded females by about 50 per cent.\n\nThe annual Births and Deaths rates per 1,000 were as follows:\n\n \n Year\n Births\n Deaths\n \n \n 1942\n 8.3\n 11.3\n \n \n 1943\n 4.0\n 7.2*\n \n \n 1944\n 5.2\n \n \n \n 1945 (8 months)\n 4.1\n 16.0\n \n \n \n \n 11.2\n \n\nThe birth rate was naturally low as the majority of the married women in camp were wives of prisoners of war in military camps but by nature of our circumstances, it should have been lower. The deaths for 1945 do not include 14 internees who were killed by a bomb during an American air raid. The death rate was low, surprisingly low, in fact, when one considers the conditions in camp and the high incidence of malnutritional diseases. Several deaths were due to causes which could be regarded as the direct result of inadequate food supplies, while many others had an associated condition of malnutrition. That there were no deaths by suicide or even murder is remarkable in view of the serious overcrowding and the nervous strain resulting from the sharing of rooms by social and racial incompatibles.\n\n## 7. ACCOMMODATION\n\nApart from a few repairs to damaged buildings, carried out in 1943, accommodation throughout the whole period of internment was substantially the same as described in my Camp Health Report for 1942 which is quoted below. Copies of this report were submitted to the Japanese Authorities and the International Red Cross delegate, but no improvements were effected.\n\n### Accommodation-Residential:\n\nThe housing provided can be divided into three sections for the purpose of general description.\n\n(1) Buildings connected with St. Stephen's Boys' College;\n\n(2) Buildings provided for European staff employed at the Prison; and\n\n(3) Buildings provided for Asiatic staff similarly employed.\n\n(1) The first category consists of the College buildings previously used for teaching and residential purposes, three bungalows and a block of servants' quarters. Two additional bungalows once allotted to internees were taken over by the authorities for other purposes some months ago.\n\n* not including deaths by execution.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579164, "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": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "page_number": 80, "title": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "content_text": "X\n\n18\n\n106\n\nmilitary and civilian camps.

It is the firm belief of the writer that the throwing overboard of the top hamper of vested interest, racial discrimination, and the cutting adrift of dead wood in the form of Europeans of mediocre intelligence, and lower ideals (replacing them by intelligent, high-minded, and unselfseeking Chinese determined to raise the low standard of the submerged nine-tenths, and assisted by sympathetic Europeans who can make a very definite personal contribution to the community as a whole) will enable the ship to be steered into peaceful and happier waters.\n\n31st January, 1945,\n\nP.

The winter of 1944-45 was particularly cold, with temperatures at times as low as 40° F, and this was a great hardship to a community badly nourished, inadequately clothed and bedded, and lacking such essentials as heating and lighting. Over the whole period, however, the climate was generous to Stanley internees.\n\n### 4. WATER SUPPLIES\n\nThese were obtained from the Colony's main system, and an adequate piped supply was maintained until November, 1944, when a complete stoppage was threatened owing to lack of power for pumping purposes. A gravity supply was possible by a simple manipulation of valves at a high-level reservoir, but this solution to the problem was rejected by the authorities \"for military reasons.\" Wells and streams in and around the camp were quickly put in such order as the limited supplies of cement and other essentials allowed, and a supply of about five gallons per head per day became available. But this amount could not be carried by the able-bodied men in camp, nor were there anything like sufficient receptacles for transport and storage. There was also the major problem of nightsoil disposal. Trenches were dug by internees in remarkably quick time, but the authorities failed to supply materials for stances and superstructures. An issue of 40 shallow pans and 18 old five-gallon oil drums was made to meet the requirements of 2,500 people. The outlook was serious, but eventually, as a result of the strong and repeated protests of the Representative of Internees, the Japanese agreed to give a piped supply every third day. This was later reduced to every 5 days, with a maximum of 100,000 gallons for the period or eight gallons per head per day. This would have been fairly satisfactory, but unfortunately, storage facilities were poor, and the water main was incapable of supplying 100,000 gallons while the water was on. During this difficult and anxious period, piped supplies were supplemented by water from wells, and a scheme of regular inspections of toilet facilities prevented any serious lapses in that direction. With the arrival of early summer rains, the situation became easier, and by June, the water supply was on for six hours daily.\n\nPage 25\n\n### ...\n\nFrom the beginning, supplies were suspect as no information was available regarding the methods of purification, if any, in operation. Accordingly, all precautions were taken, and boiled and chlorinated water was supplied in all sections of the camp. While there were adequate supplies of chlorinated water, the amount of boiling water available was limited to approximately 2 pints per head daily. Sometimes, owing to lack of fuel, this was reduced or even stopped for several days at a time. A good supply of chloride of lime sent into camp at the beginning from Health Department Stores lasted throughout internment; in fact, on VJ Day, there was sufficient in stock to last a further 12 months. Water from wells in camp, used to supplement piped supplies during restricted periods, was all boiled, as such was almost certain to be grossly contaminated owing to the authorities' insistence on the use of nightsoil as a fertiliser on camp vegetable gardens.\n\nThe precautions taken appear to have been adequate, as the water supply was not at any time incriminated as a source of disease.\n\n### 5. DRAINAGE\n\nSurface drainage was satisfactory, but chokages occasionally occurred outside the camp. These were dealt with, when and where possible, by an anti-malarial gang, which was sometimes allowed to operate outside the camp boundary. Sewage was disposed of by means of seven septic tanks, four of which were outside camp limits and entirely dependent on the anti-malarial gang for inspection and maintenance. These tanks dealt with excreta from a population much in excess of that for which they were designed, and on the whole stood up well to the strain. The carelessness of some internees led to many avoidable chokages in underground drains, and these were difficult to deal with owing to lack of equipment. For instance, a set of drainage rods could often have prevented heavy digging operations, but all appeals for such were ignored by the Japanese.\n\n### 6. VITAL STATISTICS\n\nThe population of the camp varied from a maximum of 2,863 in April, 1942, to 2,400 in 1945, with an approximate average of 2,500. The main reductions were caused by the repatriation of United States nationals in 1942 and Canadians in 1943. Children under 16 numbered about 300 in 1942 and remained about that figure. Over 16, males exceeded females by about 50 per cent.\n\nThe annual Births and Deaths rates per 1,000 were as follows:\n\n \n Year\n Births\n Deaths\n \n \n 1942\n 8.3\n 11.3\n \n \n 1943\n 4.0\n 7.2*\n \n \n 1944\n 5.2\n 16.0\n \n \n 1945 (8 months)\n 4.1\n 11.2\n \n\nThe birth rate was naturally low, as the majority of the married women in camp were wives of prisoners of war in military camps, but by the nature of our circumstances, it should have been lower. The deaths for 1945 do not include 14 internees who were killed by a bomb during an American air raid. The death rate was low, surprisingly low, in fact, when one considers the conditions in camp and the high incidence of malnutritional diseases. Several deaths were due to causes which could be regarded as the direct result of inadequate food supplies, while many others had an associated condition of malnutrition. That there were no deaths by suicide or even murder is remarkable, in view of the serious overcrowding and the nervous strain resulting from the sharing of rooms by social and racial incompatibles.\n\n### 7. ACCOMMODATION\n\nApart from a few repairs to damaged buildings, carried out in 1943, accommodation throughout the whole period of internment was substantially the same as described in my Camp Health Report for 1942, which is quoted below. Copies of this report were submitted to the Japanese Authorities and the International Red Cross delegate, but no improvements were effected.\n\n\"Accommodation--Residential:\n\nThe housing provided can be divided into three sections for the purpose of general description.\n\n(1) Buildings connected with St. Stephen's Boys College;\n\n(2) Buildings provided for European staff employed at the Prison; and\n\n(3) Buildings provided for Asiatic staff similarly employed.\n\n(1) The first category consists of the College buildings previously used for teaching and residential purposes, three bungalows, and a block of servants' quarters. Two additional bungalows once allotted to internees were taken over by the authorities for other purposes some months ago.\n\n* not including deaths by execution.\n\nPage 113", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579194, "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": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "page_number": 110, "title": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "content_text": "145\n\nextent the restrictions on immigration, had the effect of lowering the population of the Colony to about 1,600,000 by the end of November, 1941.\n\nThe long anticipated blow fell on the morning of the 8th of December, 1941, simultaneously with the destruction of the greater part of the U.S.A. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbour. Incidentally, the elimination of this fleet, followed rapidly by the sinking of H.M.S. Prince of Wales and Repulse in Malayan waters, ended our hopes of any early lifting of the siege, and gave the Japanese a free channel to the Philippine Islands and the Southern Pacific.\n\nNot long after midnight on the 8th December warning was received that the Japanese were preparing to cross the border into British territory.\n\nI issued instructions immediately for doctors, nurses and midwives to evacuate isolated hospitals and public dispensaries scattered over the Leased Territories, and to proceed to their previously allotted stations in Kowloon, bringing with them the more valuable instruments and other medical supplies.\n\nAt the same time, I caused about 1,400 St. John Ambulance Brigade stretcher bearers and nurses to man twenty odd first aid posts in Kowloon and on Hong Kong Island, together with sixty doctors on eight-hour shifts. Lorries were converted into ambulances with pre-fabricated steel frames. Emergency relief Hospitals were established in all the more important educational institutions. Certain selected hospitals were evacuated and changed into casualty clearing stations to receive both military and civilian wounded.\n\nSome 140 additional private practitioners and 450 European and Asiatic women members of the Auxiliary Nursing Service were posted to these civilian defence scheme medical units.\n\npari passu with these measures on the civil side, the Services mobilised to full strength. A field ambulance, advanced dressing stations and several auxiliary military hospitals were made ready to receive army casualties, about 160 European V.A.Ds. being distributed among the military hospitals.\n\nIn order to reduce the proportion of potential wounded in the densely populated districts, efforts were made to persuade the inhabitants to scatter to dispersal areas in the hills and open country. Such places were equipped with kitchens, food stores, fuel, water supply, sanitary conveniences and boards for roofing narrow trenches cut along the contours. Planned to accommodate about 350,000, such areas never held more than 10,000. This was, in part, due to the reluctance of the Chinese to leave his home, even after damage by bomb, shells or fire, and further to the counter-attraction provided by the existence of a number of cooked food centres in the built-up areas where free meals of rice, beans, oil and salt were issued twice daily.\n\nThe medical defence service was fully operative by the time the first bombs fell at 8 a.m. on the 8th December.\n\nThe attack was directed against Kai Tak airfield on the Kowloon Peninsula. Two obsolete fighter aircraft were destroyed. They comprised the only air cover available for our forces. Thereafter, the Japanese aircraft operated at will all over the Colony. Numerous civilian casualties were soon brought under treatment in the two main civilian casualty clearing stations on the mainland.\n\nIn spite of the destruction of road bridges, railway tunnels, and of other obstacles - not the least of which was the\n\nPage 110\n\nPage 111", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579198, "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": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "page_number": 114, "title": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "content_text": "But I am anticipating events in this rather inadequate \nhistory.\n\n- 8 \n\n149 \n\nChristmas, 1941, was a very gloomy one for all except the Japanese invaders. Many felt completely overwhelmed by the disaster that had befallen Hong Kong.\n\nMany wounded were still waiting for conveyance to hospital. The streets were cluttered up with dead and piled high with accumulations of refuse and debris from damaged buildings. Electric light and power had failed for a week previously. Water mains had been holed by shell and bomb, and the population were forced to obtain water from polluted wells and hill-streams. House drainage no longer functioned owing to lack of water for flushing purposes and to the blocking of sewers.\n\nShelling, bombing, and fire had destroyed many houses \nand thousands were rendered homeless.\n\nThe Japanese Military Commander did not make things easier by promulgating a standstill order which effectively stopped all vehicular and pedestrian traffic.\n\nUnder the circumstances, it was necessary to take the initiative and to obtain official permits for ambulances, dead carts, dust carts, and lorries for carrying food, fuel, medical supplies, etc.\n\nIt was vital for a few engineers to be released from detention (at least temporarily) in order to restart the water supply as quickly as possible.\n\nThe Japanese Commander agreed to my requests and allowed me, for the time being, to retain control over the coolie staff employed on town cleansing and refuse and night soil removal and burial of the dead. This agreement was not given, I fear, from humanitarian motives, but because the Japanese feared the effect of a serious outbreak of infectious disease (e.g., cholera) on the lives and efficiency of the troops forming the army of occupation.\n\nA few days after the surrender, the Japanese interned all British and Indian troops in four main camps, one of the four situated on Hong Kong Island being closed down later. Lack of bedding, gross overcrowding of barracks, an entirely inadequate diet, associated with insanitary, fly-infested surroundings and heavy manual labour soon combined to exact a considerable toll of suffering and death amongst the inmates of these camps.\n\nOver 200 died in camp of diphtheria, dysentery, and malnutrition. Some are unlikely to regain their normal strength and faculties. This figure does not, of course, include the Indian troops who were starved and ill-treated and who, in many cases, sacrificed their lives rather than fight against the mother-country.\n\nFrom time to time, the Japanese military authorities allowed parcels to be sent into the camps from the town.\n\nA group of voluntary workers (Chinese, Portuguese, Third Nationals, and a few British Europeans who escaped internment) was organised to collect and carry such parcels of food, drugs, clothes, shoes, toilet articles, etc., to the camps. They not only helped to maintain good spirits but saved many lives and prevented much suffering.\n\nAfter an escape or an attempted escape or for some other reason (or for no reason at all!), the Japanese stopped all parcels. When this happened, it was necessary to invoke the aid of Japanese with humanitarian outlook who were prepared to risk their liberty and their lives by smuggling into the camps such", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579202, "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": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "page_number": 118, "title": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "content_text": "153\n\nMy own surmise was that the authorities realised that I was going downhill (I might have survived for, perhaps, two months longer) and that they did not want to be further embarrassed with questions from Tokyo, stimulated by London through Geneva. The Japanese had received a vigorous protest when the Chief Manager and the Manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation had died of malnutrition and neglect in the same prison. Both the deceased had given invaluable help in raising funds for the care of prisoners of war, civilian internees and their families, and deaths shocked the whole community profoundly.\n\nAs you can well imagine, it was a real red letter day when I rejoined my wife (now white-haired) and my little daughter after rather over nineteen months in prison.\n\nAfter my release and internment, I served for the next seven months as the one and only doctor-dentist-obstetrician in a camp made up of 15 different nationalities. My wife was senior mistress in the little camp school. During this period, there were a number of impressive air raids on Hong Kong and Kowloon by land-based aircraft from the Philippines and Free China and from carriers forming part of task forces in the China Sea. Shipbuilding and repairing were brought to a standstill. Large sections of the city near the docks were obliterated. Naval vessels, transports and tankers were sunk and the blockade of Hong Kong by the Allies became practically complete.\n\nDuring these raids, hospital buildings were sometimes hit and casualties occurred in both prisoners of war and civilian internment camps.\n\nIn all cases, however, military objectives were not far away from the places struck. In spite of such casualties, both British and Chinese welcomed the raids as an indication that the Allies had taken the initiative, possessed complete aerial supremacy and that the day of deliverance was near at hand.\n\nOn the 6th of August, news came through of the devastation produced by atomic bombs on Hiroshima. Two days later, the long expected and hoped for declaration of war by the Soviet Union was announced, following on the 9th of August by a second atomic bomb attack on Nagasaki.\n\nThere are some who criticise the use of this terrible weapon. While one deplores the fearful havoc it caused and the loss of lives of tens of thousands of women, children and non-combatants, there is little doubt that the use of the bomb and the entry of Russia combined to bring the Japanese Militarists to their knees and made them accept the Potsdam surrender terms.\n\nIt gave us all a wonderful thrill to learn from a courageous Chinese girl who came past the camp on the 11th of August that the Allies had agreed to the Japanese surrender proposal which included the provision relating to the sovereignty of Emperor Hirohito.\n\nIt was not until the 15th of August that we learnt definitely of Japan's surrender on the previous day, thus bringing to an end the Second World War and China's eight years war of resistance.\n\nAn act which may have some significance to Far Eastern Policy took place on the 18th of August, on which date France signed a treaty returning to China the Leased Territory of Kwanchowwan.\n\nOn the 21st of August I endeavoured to persuade the head of the Japanese Medical Department to hand over control to me so that I could get the hospitals and public health services restarted as soon as possible.

In this first paragraph, I should like to make it clear that any success which may have been achieved in straightening out matters at the Courts of Justice has been due to the loyal and whole-hearted co-operation of the former staff, including three pensioners of my own time, who reported for duty on the 9th September. I would pay particular tribute to the work of Mr. Christopher D'Almada e Castro, who in December, 1941, was an Assistant Crown Solicitor, Assistant Land Officer, and Deputy Registrar of Marriages. This officer has been interned as a local volunteer officer and is far from being in good health, but he has worked unflaggingly at every task which has presented itself.\n\n## STATE OF FABRIC AND INTERIOR FITTINGS.\n\n2. It may not be out of place to make a short statement on the condition of the building.\n\nThe stonework and tiling of the main fabric appear to be substantially intact. The roof above the Crown Solicitor's room was damaged by a bomb but has been repaired by the Japanese. Inspection by the P.W.D. is desirable.\n\nIn the main, doors and window frames are intact, though many are strained and require attention. Some 50 panes of glass require replacement. A completely new door will be required at the N.E. entrance.\n\nInternal woodwork is in reasonably good condition, but the whole of the seating for the public and the dock itself have vanished from the Puisne Judge's Court.\n\nOn my first inspection on the 9th September, I found that wooden staging for sleeping accommodation for Gendarmerie had occupied practically the whole of the Puisne Judge's Court, the Library, and the Land Office.\n\nThe Supreme Court Strong room was an ammunition store, and the Land Office Strong room was a repository for safes, the contents of which had been rifled.\n\nThe building contained masses of beds and other civilian furniture, which have now been removed to Government store awaiting claim, and also scores of desks, filing cabinets, etc. had been brought in by the Gendarmerie from Government and private offices. Some articles have been claimed; others are being used to replace furniture that we have lost.\n\nThe dismantling of staging, removal of partitions, clearance of floor space, and of strong rooms was the first task before any records could be brought back to the Court.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-3 Reports on current situation- legal 7-9-1945 - 7-11-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579337, "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": "CO129-592-4 Reports on current situation- Police 14-11-1945 - 1-7-1946", "page_number": 16, "title": "CO129-592-4 Reports on current situation- Police 14-11-1945 - 1-7-1946", "content_text": "SECRET.\n\n8\n\n12.41\n\nHONG KONG POLICE WAR DIARY\n\nDECEMBER 8th\n\n25th, 1941.\n\nCompiled by Mr. L.H.C.

Mortar shelling from an east-north-easterly direction commenced, chiefly directed at Ap Lei Chau and the main road west of Aberdeen. Throughout the day raids became more frequent, the bombs being directed chiefly at the Naval Dockyard and harbour.\n\nReinforced sentry posts were manned from this date onwards. The construction of sandbag redoubts was commenced.\n\nThe shelling of the waterfront along King's Road became intensified, accompanied by heavy machine-gun fire. Ex-Police Sergeant Jessop, watchman at the Taikoo Docks, came to Quarry Bay chargeroom and reported that the Japanese had landed at the Taikoo Docks. All the European and Asiatic Police were formed into two groups under Inspectors O'Connor and Post respectively. Both groups proceeded with fixed bayonets to King's Road, one on each side of the street, where fighting was already in progress. Police formed up together and were awaiting further instructions when a hand grenade or bomb was thrown amongst them, causing them to scatter. L.S.A.175 Jack, who describes this incident, did not see either Inspectors again after this. He joined some Indian Troops and opened fire on the advancing Japanese. After about half an hour, seeing no Police, he returned to Quarry Bay Station, where he found Sub-Inspector Johnson and L.S.A.92 Porritt, the latter having been seriously wounded by a hand grenade. P.S.A.45 Loughlin, P.S.A.19 Hill, L.S.A.78 Campbell, and L.S.A.1 Ross were also present. A Military Officer arrived and ordered Police to retreat. Sergeants Ross and Campbell left first, carrying Sgt. Porritt in a basket chair. Sub-Inspector Johnson and Sgt. Jack followed afterwards, carrying a wounded Indian soldier. They tried to obtain first aid for him but failed. Sub-Inspector Johnson then left to speak to an officer, and Sgt. Jack did not see him again. He supported and dragged the Indian along until the latter died and then met an officer who asked him to guide him to Sanitorium Pass.\n\nProceeding up the hill, he noticed Sgts. Ross and Campbell still carrying Sgt. Porritt. A few hundred yards from the pass, he found a party of Volunteers under Mr. Murphy, formerly Assistant Crown Solicitor, and some Indian soldiers and Police. The Japanese attacked, and he took part in a fight, including bayonet work, which eventually, after about one hour, ended in our troops retreating. He was left alone and proceeded to Stanley Terrace, where he had a deep gash in his leg dressed by an R.A.M.C. Orderly; he then reported to Stanley Police Station. (By this time, it was 09.30 hours the next day). He eventually returned to Police Headquarters via the Aberdeen Road, as Repulse Bay Road and Wong Nei Chung were impassable.\n\nL.S.A.179 Morrison at the Hong Kong Electric Vital Post noticed ten to twelve invasion barges crossing from Kowloon Bay to Taikoo Sugar Refinery. The defences at the Electric Company, consisting of about fifteen members of the Special Defence Group under Major Patterson, about twenty members of the Hong Kong Electric and China Light & Power Company, and about ten Rajputs under an Indian Sergeant, opened fire. The enemy on the barges replied with tracer machine-gun bullets. Major Patterson reported to Military Headquarters.\n\nAt about 20.45 hours, it was noticed from the Hong Kong Electric that the Japanese effected a landing at the Sugar Refinery. At about 22.00 hours, Japanese troops approached the east wall of the Hong Kong Electric from the land, despite Indian troops who had manned a barricade in King's Road. At about 23.30 hours, the Indian troops withdrew from King's Road.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-4 Reports on current situation- Police 14-11-1945 - 1-7-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579382, "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": "CO129-592-4 Reports on current situation- Police 14-11-1945 - 1-7-1946", "page_number": 61, "title": "CO129-592-4 Reports on current situation- Police 14-11-1945 - 1-7-1946", "content_text": "Date.\n\n6.\n\nDistrict.

Police took action under orders from the Director Criminal Investigation and arrests were made.\n\nMr. Booker, Assistant Superintendent of Police, removed from the Special Constabulary Headquarters at Ventris Road and returned to the Gloucester Building. Police were despatched to Hollywood Road to control rice queues. Some little trouble had occurred before the arrival of the Police but this was soon satisfactorily settled.\n\n10.30 The Unit was called to Queen Victoria Street where it dealt with looters looting deserted premises.\n\n11.00 P.S.A.162 Williamson was instructed by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Defence, to reoccupy Aberdeen Station. Sergeant Williamson gave instructions to L.S.A.145 Goldie to bring his party back and the same orders were repeated to P.S.A.155 Fitzpatrick through the Inspector on Duty Western. The Officer in Charge, with Mr. Searle's, Assistant Superintendent of Police, permission returned himself to the Station in advance. He learnt there that the Japanese advance had been stopped at Wong Chuk Hang near the Industrial School. During the afternoon and evening Srgts. Goldie and Fitzpatrick returned with six Chinese Police Constables and four returned independently.\n\n12.45 Cases of demanding money for \"protection\" from householders were reported. A party of Police were left at No.10 Square Street but the culprits failed to return. During the shelling of the Peak a number of shells fell short to land in Conduit and Robinson Roads, some landing near Police posts. One Indian Police Constable was slightly wounded near the Filter Beds.\n\nSenior Superintendent of Police, Defence, prepared and submitted a report to the Commissioner of Police concerning the Police action with the enemy at Shaukiwan.\n\np.m. The Indian Guards from Wong Nei Chung arrived at Upper Levels station stating that enemy troops had arrived at Wong Nei Chung some time the previous day (exact time is not now remembered) and that they had only just managed to evacuate in time after contact with the enemy. An European Volunteer had led them but had been killed. They had made their way back to Hong Kong via Aberdeen.\n\n18.00 General shelling became severe with many casualties. A.R.P. personnel evacuated and ceased to function. Personnel of the Rescue & Demolition squads and Food Kitchen and Sanitary Inspectors all left and by nightfall only seventeen Police and nine Firemen remained to carry on as best they could.\n\n19.00 The Queen's Cinema was hit by a bomb or shell but little damage was done.\n\nNight. The Police provided Lewis Gun and Thompson Gun patrols in the front line as for the previous night, except that the number of Indian riflemen was increased. Col.

Information had been incorrectly given that a Military convoy could be picked up at Aberdeen but the convoy was not there and the Naval Authorities would not allow the party to proceed further than the Industrial School as it was considered too dangerous to advance without a Military escort.

A.83 MacDonald, A.147 Pope, A.54 Hewitt, proceeded to Aberdeen joining a Military convoy at the University in order to make a fourth (and successful) attempt to obtain one thousand hand grenades from the Military Magazine at Shouson Hill. An armoured car was sent ahead at Aberdeen to scout and as nothing happened the main party followed ten minutes later. The hand grenades were collected and later handed over to Mr. Wilson, Assistant Superintendent of Police, at Police Headquarters, except for 36 boxes supplied to the Naval Headquarters at the Industrial School who were very short of them. The Police party assisted the few coolies, six to eight, to do the loading as the Military merely acted as guards throughout the expedition. A short burst of machine gun fire with tracer bullets was loosed off by the Japanese towards the end of the operation, hitting the embarkment on top of the Magazine. Small spasmodic sniping by the enemy was encountered on the return journey. A lorry of dead Indians was seen on the road. The Japanese were still in possession of Shouson Hill itself.\n\nIn the retreat carried out during the early hours of the morning, P.S.A. 69 Simpson and L.S.A. 13 Whitley on instructions from an Officer collected troops and with them occupied trenches below Stanley Fort on both sides of the road.

As stated by the Foreign Secretary on Monday, arrangements are being made for the Japanese surrender in Hong Kong to be accepted by a British Force Commander. Plans for re-establishing British Administration in the Colony are fully prepared.\n\nMr. Churchill: While expressing gratification at the answer of the Prime Minister, may I presume that my right hon. Friend recalls that on numerous occasions, and particularly at the Cairo Conference in 1943, His Majesty's Government have made it plain that they do not contemplate any modification in the sovereignty of His Majesty's territories in the Far East?\n\nThe Prime Minister: Yes, Sir. I have a very full recollection of those statements, and I will bear them in mind.\n\nMr. Maxton: When the right hon. Gentleman considers these questions, when he is restoring British civilian Government in Hong Kong, will he bear in mind that the high civil servants who formed a large proportion of the administration there before the Japanese occupation have been imprisoned, and that they will not be expected to resume duty without having a period of rest and relaxation?\n\nThe Prime Minister: Certainly; I have no doubt that every attention will be given to them. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put a Question on this particular point to my right hon.

The two schemes from the Hong Kong point of view were not true alternatives. The one was for an Institution to serve two Colonial areas, the other for a University conceived partly in terms of Colonial interest but dominated by considerations of British policy in the Far East. The Committee were authoritatively informed that it had been decided to proceed with the establishment of a University in Malaya and agreed that it was undesirable and inappropriate in their view to attempt to achieve a combined University.\n\n## 22\nThe Committee recognises that a University for Hong Kong and China should be planned on more generous lines than a University for Hong Kong alone or for Hong Kong and the Overseas Chinese Communities. It must be worthy to be the assembly place of two cultures and two types of learning. The Committee is of opinion that our quality in scholarship, the content of our culture, the organization of our way of life, the experience crystallised in our social and political institutions have a value for China at this point in social evolution. British civilisation has been enriched in recent generations by the impact of Chinese Art, Poetry and Thought, and there is still much for us to learn. Eminent Chinese have expressed the hope that our peoples may meet hereafter more on the ground of mutual respect for achievements in the spheres of the mind and spirit and less exclusively in the concerns of the market place. This, apparently, is the desire, too, of those Members of the Committee who have recently lived in China.\n\n## 23\nAssuming that His Majesty's Government is concerned to maintain and develop the friendly relations that have existed between China and Britain over these past years, the Committee conclude that a really adequate British University in Hong Kong would be an excellent instrument of such a policy. The Committee's proposals are made on the further assumption that the Chinese will welcome the revival of the University and will co-operate in the efforts necessary if the University is to play its part in the post-war reconstruction of the Republic. Even if, after a relatively short time, Hong Kong reverted to China, the Committee believes that a University of Hong Kong revived on the generous lines proposed by the Founder would be justified as a continuing source of British influence in China.\n\n## 24\nThe Committee, convinced that the University is a good instrument of a friendly policy, and the need for it is not materially decreased by the work that is being done in China by the British Council, resolved to outline the type of University that it believes would be of value. It is assumed that its beginnings might be modest but that provision should be made for growth in those parts of its work that experience should approve. In making its 'blue print' which is appended to this note, the Committee has had the aid of the recorded views and recommendations of Professor Percy Roxby and Dr. Joseph Needham, representatives of the British Council in China, and of Mr. Fitzgerald, the head of the Council's Far East Department.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-594-1 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University.

Instruments are, on the whole, intact as regards numbers but some Japanese items have been substituted. About one-third of hospital furniture has been recovered in reasonable condition. Laboratory equipment is missing generally. Microscopes have been recovered, but often they are rendered useless through the objectives being missing.\n\nScientific apparatus has been recovered but here, again, essential parts have been removed. Radiological equipment is in workable condition and so is the electro-medical equipment, but the deep therapy set is out of action because the special oil has been drained from it. Useful stocks of glassware have been recovered but china generally is non-existent. Refrigerators are out of condition but many of them are repairable. There are ample stocks of cotton dressings but adhesive dressings have perished. There is a considerable stock of hot-water bottles but often they have no stoppers; there is a fair stock of other rubber goods in moderate condition. The equipment contained in the Young Working Party Units would make good many of these deficiencies. The transport position has been very difficult but has improved a lot, and great strides are being made in getting things into shape within the limits of resources available.\n\n### 3. PREVALENT DISEASES\n\nThe three most prevalent diseases in the Colony at present are malaria, pulmonary tuberculosis and venereal disease. This agrees with post-war conditions found in other Colonial territories. Colonel Fehily estimates that about one-third of the deaths occurring since the Japanese capitulation have been due to starvation, beri-beri and deficiency diseases generally. During the occupation 150 bodies were collected daily from the streets, representing mainly people who had died from starvation and I am told reliably that cannibalism was prevalent during 1942 and 1943. The Japanese policy here, as elsewhere, was to get rid of surplus population from crowded areas without any consideration as to the fate of the people who were expelled from these areas, with the result that many people had no means of subsistence. Since re-entry the death rate has been going down progressively but there is still an unduly high incidence of disease. With improving diets the incidence of beri-beri, at one time high, is decreasing. Infantile beri-beri, which used to be an index of the occurrence of beri-beri generally, has largely disappeared. Nevertheless, the incidence of beri-beri still remains well above that existing in the pre-war period.\n\nBefore the Japanese occupation, malaria had been reduced to a negligible incidence and it was noteworthy if cases occurred in any locality. But, with the privations of the long occupation and lowered resistance, coupled with almost total neglect of anti-malarial activities, the incidence of malaria has risen to an alarming extent.\n\nFortunately, this is confined to certain areas, chiefly where bomb or shell damage has occurred. In country areas the occurrence of malaria is mainly due to the neglect of anti-malarial control which has permitted the breeding of the chief vector *A. minimus*, which lives in sluggish streams and seepage in hilly areas. In the large Island of Lantau, which lies to the South of Hong Kong Island, much malaria has occurred and steps have been taken to protect the population there by the use of suppressive mepacrin; the population of the Island is probably something over 7,000 which is the 1931 census figure. There is also a good deal of malaria on the mainland, especially where construction is in progress, for instance, in the Ping Shan area where work on the new airfield is going on. Malaria in the Colony is to some extent associated with the growing of padi but this is seasonal. Fortunately, the incidence has not been high in Victoria, except in one or two limited areas, but it has been prevalent in the Taikoo Dock area which was badly damaged and in other areas in this neighbourhood. A high percentage of the admissions to some hospitals is still due to malaria. The main type of parasite seen is vivax although there is a fairly high proportion of falciparum. While the situation is serious, it is not so menacing now as it was earlier. For one thing the malaria season is past and anti-malarial control is being established more firmly every day, and will go on improving. Personnel in the Services are required to take suppressive mepacrin and the incidence among them is not nearly so high as amongst the civil population. There are good stocks of mepacrin in the Services and supplies have been given to the Civil Affairs Authorities; in addition, very considerable stocks of Japanese quinine were left behind.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-594-8 A G H Sment- report on medical activities and problems 16-12-1945 - 18-2-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 581917, "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": "CO129-594-8 A G H Sment- report on medical activities and problems 16-12-1945 - 18-2-1946", "page_number": 57, "title": "CO129-594-8 A G H Sment- report on medical activities and problems 16-12-1945 - 18-2-1946", "content_text": "## 3.

This looked after the 200 odd men that had to be accounted for. In addition, there was a fairly modern accommodation Block in the Dockyard that catered for crews of small ships undergoing refit in the Naval Yard. The very few ratings required to run the W/T station at Stonecutters were easily accommodated on that Island. The Officers, for their part, amounted to about fifty, and of these, some thirty lived out.\n\n## 3.\nWith a modern Fleet of large Battleships and Carriers arriving to liberate the port, over-crowding of all shore-side amenities was inevitable, particularly as most of the buildings had been stripped of furniture and, in many cases, of all removable wood. The old \"Tamar\" ship was lying sunk in the Harbour.\n\n## 4.\nOn the lower level in Victoria, considerable bomb damage to the sewage system was a major problem. The sewers, in many cases, had been added to from time to time, and in some cases, no knowledge was available as to the runs of the pipes. Up the Peak, however, there was little general war damage, with the exception of the houses and large buildings right on the summit, but there was a terrible amount of damage from looting. Sanitary fittings had been smashed or removed, practically no cooking appliances were in place, and, of course, no supplies of such commodities existed in Hong Kong. Further, the repairs were made more difficult by lack of wood, glass, paint, and very nearly every detail of modern domestic economy.\n\n## 5.\nIn the early stages, the weather was wet, but improved until, by late September, it was perfect. This helped in large measure, particularly those men under canvas or leaky roofs. But the hot days were not very good for the sewage troubles, nor for the many heaps of rubble from smashed buildings.\n\n## 6.\nGreat efforts were made to clear up, and to get the main services working once again. Gradually, the lights came on in houses further and further up the Peak, and, in fact, this indication of recovery was a sort of nightly graph that one watched with considerable interest. Similarly, water pipes had to be repaired, and pumping machinery refitted.\n\n## 7.\nAs the numbers of Naval ratings ashore approached and passed the 1300 mark, more and more buildings had perforce to be taken for their accommodation. The China Fleet Club was requisitioned against the interest of the Fleet and used as a Barrack for some 400 men, the St. Francis Hotel housed a further 200, and then a few were put into the old H.K. R.N.V.R. Headquarters. By agreement, the General Officer Commanding handed over Wellington Barracks for Naval use. This building had been bombed and was in a bad way with many faults. However, at the end of a month, men began to be billeted there.\n\nAs regards officers, the senior ones were accommodated in the Gloucester hotel, and three other hotels were taken complete and used for officer accommodation. The reason for this was the fact that, in place of the old peace-time establishment of 50 officers and a number of Dockyard officers living, for the most part, in private houses, some 250 officers now had to be housed. This figure rose to over 300 with the advent of the Commander-in-Chief, British Pacific Fleet, from Sydney.\n\n## 8.\nA number of officers were initially billeted in the Peninsula Hotel, Kowloon, but their number was reduced considerably with the opening of the inter-service hostel.\n\n## 9.\nAccommodation for some 80 officers forming Commander-in-Chief's Staff had to be found and rehabilitated. Considerable work was involved, and many man-hours were put into preparing the houses for occupation. At first, the date of arrival was in doubt, but eventually, the many tasks were completed just in time.\n\n## 10.\nThe general directive was to requisition only ex-enemy property, which somewhat cut down the available buildings. However, all difficulties were overcome. Furniture was acquired for the houses from Australia and, to a small degree, from the Custodian of Enemy Property. Cooking appliances came up from Brisbane, refrigerators came up one by one in various ships, and so it all took shape. All were satisfied with the result.\n\n## 11.\nNow the effort is in reverse, and every attempt is being made to de-requisition. Surplus officers are sent home or into other disposal pools, and men on shore are being reduced. The enormous increase in personnel is due, in the main, to the large number of communication ratings required to keep a Fleet of modern equipped ships up to date with information.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-595-9 The British Military Administration of Hong Kong- report- 1946 11-7-1946 - 2-9-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 582605, "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": "CO129-595-9 The British Military Administration of Hong Kong- report- 1946 11-7-1946 - 2-9-1946", "page_number": 54, "title": "CO129-595-9 The British Military Administration of Hong Kong- report- 1946 11-7-1946 - 2-9-1946", "content_text": "## \n(78)\n\nSignal commitment is the constant stream of signals about A.S.G. reliefs and releases, and without the large numbers at present borne, there is no doubt that unacceptable delays would ensue.\n\n12. By the first of March, the reduction in ratings has resulted in the de-requisitioning of the St. Francis and Metropole Hotels, the release of some thirty beds in the Luk Kwok Hotel, and the reduction in numbers by some 150 in the China Fleet Club.\n\n13. In addition to houses for personnel, there have, of course, been a number of godowns taken for store purposes.\n\n14. On the amenities side, the urgent requirement of an Officers' Club was apparent. Accordingly, the Commodore directed that steps be taken to start a club without delay. In this case, an inter-service committee was formed and ran the top floor of the Gloucester Hotel, the Lido at Repulse Bay, the Kellett Island Yacht Club, and eventually the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel Kowloon as one club, which was named the Combined Services Club. It has been a great success and, without doubt, supplied a very real need.\n\n15. For the ratings, various clubs had been started by the Chaplains, for the most part in leased premises. A convalescent and leave centre was supplied by requisitioning the Repulse Bay Hotel.\n\n16. As regards games and swimming facilities, a very early drive was made, and quite a number of grounds for organised games were quickly in commission. These are shown in `Appendix 1`.\n\n17. An important requirement was hospitalisation for the large numbers in the Colony. The two top floors of the Government-controlled Queen Mary's Hospital were acquired and equipped by the Medical Officer with gear and supplies from Australia. The old R.N. Hospital at Wanchai is considered wholly unsuitable, and permission is awaited from the Admiralty to go ahead with the building of a new R.N. Hospital on a fine site already earmarked. Meanwhile, an agreement has been reached that the Navy are to rehabilitate the War Memorial Hospital sufficiently to render it useable. The Navy will then take this hospital for three years and release the Queen Mary. During this time, the intention is to build a new Naval Hospital.\n\n(79)\n\n## APPENDIX 1\n\nBy the time Liberating Forces were able to turn to organised games (at the beginning of October 1945), the grounds, etc., made available after filling in bomb craters, cutting grass, etc., were:-\n\n| Grounds/Facilities | Location |\n| --- | --- |\n| 3 Soccer grounds | Causeway Bay on the old R.N.

Yesterday morning, the bodies of two Chinese females were found on junks. The majority of the hospital cases have been discharged.\n\n## BATTLE ROYAL IN KENT\n\nChatham, March 22. A battle royal involving both men and women developed today when a store in this Kent County town, just south of London, advertised a sale of household goods and cheap carpets without priority tickets.\n\nWomen began forming a queue as early as two o'clock in the morning, and by nine o'clock, there were about 2,000 people in the queue, strung out for over a mile long. Regular Police had to be called in when the queuers blocked the main street traffic and scratched, shoved, and bounded each other around in the hunt for bargains. They were admitted a few at a time when the doors opened at 10 o'clock, but many went home with empty baskets.—Reuter.\n\n## Cosmic Age To Supplant Atomic Age\n\nLahore, March 22. A Cosmic Ray Age to succeed the present Atomic Age in the not distant future is predicted by Dr. Piara Singh Gill, Assistant Professor of Physics at the Forman Christian College here. Dr. Gill is conducting research on Cosmic Rays with an R.A.F. plane placed at his disposal by the military authorities.\n\nCosmic Rays, Dr. Gill declared, possess energy unsuspected by man even at the beginning of the atomic era. They generate energy which is roughly 100,000 times higher than can be produced with the help of a modern plant. The individual particles, the rays have higher energies than the particles released in nuclear fission.\n\nIn the production of the atomic bomb, only a tiny fraction of the mass of uranium has been used and when, through cosmic energy, the whole mass is utilized, the present atomic bombs will appear nothing more than fireworks.\n\nThe main obstacle to the use of cosmic rays at present is that the method to harness it has yet to be discovered, while atomic energy only requires an effective method for its release. When this new era will dawn, then a cosmic ray age will replace the atomic age.—Reuter.\n\n## RELIEF PLANS INADEQUATE\n\nAtlantic City, Mar. 22. Representatives of 20 nation-associated organisations here termed the relief programme mapped out by President Truman's emergency famine control committee \"insufficient to cope with the immediate threat of widespread famine.\"\n\nThe joint statement was made by veteran groups, women's clubs, religious and educational organisations, and others. They said the programme was \"inadequate to fulfil America's normal obligations as a world power.”\n\nThese groups have observed or have sat in on U.N.R.R.A. Council meetings. They urged that \"the United States Government should immediately set aside at the start, greater amounts of those foods needed for overseas relief, and ration at once in this country such foods as cereals, fats, and oils, which are desperately needed elsewhere.\"—Associated Press.\n\n## Petiot Replies To Questions\n\nParis, March 22. The 49-year-old Dr. Marcel Petiot, on trial for allegedly murdering 27 people during the war, replied to questions at today's hearing about his activities in November 1942, from Paris. Petiot replied that he was a member of the resistance and had executed people by his resistance group.

Inward passengers slightly exceed outward owing to conditions in Canton. On 10th November Nationalist aircraft dropped bomb near Sheklung railway bridge.\n\n80\n\nNationalist blockade of Canton continues to prevent river steamers operations. Nationalist blockade craft are believed to be re-fuelling from junks just outside British waters. This is difficult to prevent as while export licences are required destinations cannot be guaranteed. Nationalists are adding insult to injury by trying to sell seized cargoes in Hong Kong. Chinese Government have belatedly announced formal extension to ensure order to Amoy and ports south. Shanghai blockade still in force, but two British ships detained for over a week have now been released by Nationalists, with their cargoes, after giving written undertaking not to return.\n\n6\n\nC.N.A. and C.A.T.C. defections have led to Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs himself visiting Hong Kong. Aircraft of two companies are grounded (due to Nationalist suspension of registration certificates). But personnel remain in occupation of offices and workshops and are refusing to take orders from new Managing Directors appointed by the Nationalists. Former directors have issued orders to them from Peking. It is proposed to avoid involvement of Hong Kong Government in dispute as far as possible. Companies are free to take matter to Court if there is deadlock. Meanwhile Chinese Government are belatedly offering British airlines opportunities for flying to Formosa, Chungking, Kunming and Hainan. Hong Kong Airways are proposing to fly to Taipei and survey flight left 16th November.\n\nChinese National Resources Commission Foreign Trade Office in Hong Kong defected to the Communists 13th November.

Other Nationalist organisations are likely\n\n10\n\nto follow,\n\n110\n\nAbove developments and worsening military situation have caused nervousness and pessimism in Kuomintang circles. There are increasing rumours of split between Chiang Kai Shek and Li Tsung Jen becoming insoluble. Much Kuomintang riff-raff is now seeking refuge in (corrupt group? barges) and action has been taken by police against Kuomintang Blue-shirt agents for possession of arms in the Colony.\n\n12\n\nCommunist-organised Comforting Party has returned from Canton and given fulsome public report about encouraging conditions there, and really democratic life now enjoyed by people. Privately, however, some admit conditions were far from satisfactory. Communist-inspired propaganda is being directed against action taken by Registrar of Societies in refusing registration to a number of Communist-influenced organisations.

This is considered to be in the nature of a tariff wall against American goods to remove American competition rather than a defence of sterling. It is considered that such control is bad for the Colony's trade. \"Kung Sheung Daily Press\" of 25/4 rather deplores the ban on import of gold.\n\n(d) A bomb was exploded outside the Hong Kong Post Office.

Actually, we intended to carry out the work on your vessel first and then do the same to the other steamers. The reason (that we changed our minds) was because the \"Kwong Tung\" sought the assistance of the army and police forces and took patriotic precautions, thus indicating that she was acting in opposition to this corps and refusing to pay the small sum (demanded). It happened to be the last trip of that steamer and she was going into dock for repair after returning to Hongkong. Furthermore, apparently our notice was taken as an unimportant document and was therefore ignored. We originally intended to bomb her while en route, but for the sake of our countrymen and to give due consideration of God's love to all that lives, we did not want to destroy all people and articles on board. How could we bear to cause destruction to so many lives on account of such a small amount? It was for this reason that we waited until the vessel was alongside the wharf and all passengers had disembarked before we bombed her. She has no cause for complaint in regard to this incident, because we had served her with two notices before action was taken, and therefore we cannot be blamed for being cruel.\n\nIf your company also wishes to put us off by withholding your reply, your vessel will likewise be bombed. This time the explosion will be quite terrible: the whole ship will be entirely smashed up and the damage will be beyond repair, and you will see then that our words are not vain talks. The ... \"Kwongtung\" is a small vessel flying a foreign flag that has been made to suffer the calamity in place of your steamer. We have reserved some margin for the \"Wusueh\" seeing that she is a big ship and there are many human lives and goods on board. If, however, you do not meet our demand in full, your vessel will have no chance to get out also. Please make up your mind as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late for you to repent. Even if you should withdraw from the Canton/Hongkong run and the whole vessel is strongly guarded by troops and police, we would have our ways and means to carry out our work. If you do not believe our words, we invite you to watch how capable we are.\n\nAfter receipt of this letter, you should reply by inserting an advertisement in the `Kwok ah Po` on the 1st and 2nd April, or else our action will follow. You are requested not to take passengers so as to avoid loss to lives.\n\nYours faithfully,\n**3rd Note of warning by Tung Hing Corps**\n\nThe advertisement to be inserted in the `Kwok ah Po` should be as follows: –\n\n19\n## NOTICE OF BETROTHAL\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| \"Being agreeable both in taste and sentiment and having | obtained the consent of the heads of our respective families, |\n| \"we have decided to hold our betrothal ceremony in Canton on | the 4th instant.

Sai Gon, which was on the Canton-Hongkong run, was burnt out in a fire which occurred in the early hours, when in Hongkong harbour, under circumstances which, owing to the remarkable speed with which the fire spread and its peculiar nature, made it impossible to rule out the possibility of sabotage. In the fire, some 150 people lost their lives.\n\n## \n\n2.\n\nThe first enclosure to this despatch is a translation of two threatening letters received on 25th February and 8th March respectively by another British river steamer, the `Kwangtung` of 1,200 tons. Copies of these letters were at once sent by me to the Canton Chief of Police, H.E. the Governor of Hongkong, and the Commissioner of Police, Hongkong, with a request that full protection be afforded.\n\n3.\n\nAt approximately 8 A.M. on 22nd March, when the `Kwangtung` was lying alongside her wharf in Canton, a bomb exploded, blowing a hole in her side and causing her to sink to the bottom (which fortunately was only in 12 feet of water at the time). No one was hurt. The second enclosure is an extract from the Captain's log.\n\nThe third enclosure is a warning letter of 12th March received by the British river steamer `Anshun`. This also I have copied in the same manner as the letters addressed to the `Kwangtung`. The `Anshun`, which is the property of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, used to run on the Yangtze and is of approximately 1,200 gross tons.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour Excellency's most obedient, humble servant,\n\nHis Majesty's Ambassador,\n\nBritish Embassy,\n\nNanking.\n\n(signed)\n\nfor Consul-General.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-613-7 Incidents against river steamers- S.S.

It continually undergoes a chemical change akin to hydrolysis, whereby oxides of nitrogen are evolved. The reaction, under ordinary conditions, proceeds at an extremely slow rate, but may be accelerated by certain conditions.\n\nFor example, the reaction is accelerated by acids, and it is here that one danger lies. For the oxides of nitrogen evolved in the reaction change with traces of moisture to nitric acid, and this acid, as we have said, accelerates the reaction, again producing more acid. The reaction is, in chemical language, auto-catalytic.\n\nThe second danger of the reaction is that it is exothermic; that is, heat is evolved during the process. When the reaction is slow, this heat is of no significance; but as the reaction accelerates, particularly in a tight mass of celluloid or nitrocellulose, the heat may build up to the stage where more is produced than can be dissipated by conduction or convection through the material. In this case, the mass will, quite suddenly, burst into flame.\n\nThe third danger of this reaction is that it proceeds with great violence at temperatures insufficient to inflame ordinary combustible material. Thus, at 170-180 degrees Centigrade, celluloid almost immediately inflames, and at much lower temperatures (130-140°C) combustion will suddenly take place after a period measurable in hours rather than days.\n\nIt would appear from this that celluloid was too dangerous a commodity for much humanity. But these are laboratory results; in practice, a number of other considerations enter.\n\nFor example, in a hermetically sealed vessel (such as a bomb) the oxides of nitrogen produced in the reaction are reduced to harmless nitrogen, and the reaction stops. In the presence of plenty of air, for example, in a box of celluloid toys, the oxides of nitrogen are dissipated and do no harm.\n\nA constant small supply of air is necessary for the reaction of decomposition; and, in passing, this condition is admirably fulfilled by a well-closed but not hermetically sealed drum.\n\nBut the most important consideration remains. In the early days of the celluloid industry, these fires from self-ignition were very frequent; but careful research has now tremendously reduced the hazard. Firstly, it was found that really pure nitrocellulose was far less liable to this decomposition than impure material. Secondly, a \"stabilizer\" was added to celluloid, which reacted chemically with the oxides of nitrogen and rendered them harmless.\n\nThe result of this work is to be seen to-day, when immense quantities of celluloid film circulate around the globe, and fires are comparatively rare. Nevertheless, the inherent vices of self-combustion, and of combustion at low temperatures, remain in celluloid, and the stringent precautions required by law in all countries attest to the continued danger.\n\nOnly this year, at Richmond, in England, a disastrous fire broke out in a film-washing plant, and at the enquiry, the probable cause was concluded to be this self-same reaction of decomposition of the celluloid, brought on by a spell of hot weather. It is needless to remark that under tropical storage, such decomposition must be a greater hazard than in a temperate climate.\n\nPage 90 \nPage 91", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-614-1 Commission of Inquiry into fire at West Point- report 26-5-1949 - 22-12-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 592740, "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": "CO129-614-2 Visit of Sir Patrick Abercrombie to advise on town planning 28-11-1946 - 5-12-1947", "page_number": 28, "title": "CO129-614-2 Visit of Sir Patrick Abercrombie to advise on town planning 28-11-1946 - 5-12-1947", "content_text": "## \nauthority \nand suggest that if you agree 28 \nthe draft \ntam approve \nthe file might \nMiss Harris to despatch \nfiles qua on to Mr \nunderneath \nbe \ncirculated \nto \nand Copy \nbefore the \nMayor for the \nletter \nPatrick Abercrombie. \n\nMr. Standing. \n\nstrict \n\nComa... \nAn Handwe \nagree. \n\n6/6 \nto Sir \nPut it might be \nMr. Perfect's \nscheme (2).

A destructor for Kowloon refuse was planned to be erected at Tai Kok Tsui on a site adjoining that selected for a mortuary, crematorium, and disinfecting station.\n\n## (5) Training School \n\nWe consider that it is highly desirable that the Colony should possess a training school for health inspectors, health visitors, district midwives, vaccinators, maternal and child welfare nurses, and similar ancillary groups. \n\nWe are aware that such a school was planned in close proximity to the University in 1940, since its value in assisting and giving medical students a much-needed bias towards preventive medicine was fully appreciated. Moreover, such a health training centre would form a valuable adjuvant to the post-graduate course for the diploma in hygiene and tropical medicine which had started immediately prior to the outbreak of war. It seems unlikely that St. John's Hostel will now be available for this purpose, but it is probable that the former King's College, which has been abandoned by the Education Department, could be converted into such a centre at a not undue cost. \n\nWith relatively little cost, provision could be made in the centre for a training school for dental students, dentistry being one of the professions that is made up of a handful of qualified dental surgeons and a large number of unqualified (and not always highly skilled) practitioners of dentistry.\n\n## (6) Slaughter House \n\nThe two public slaughterhouses at Kennedy Town and Ma Tau Kok are out-of-date and badly sited in the light of housing developments during the past thirty years.

At the same time, manure, blood, and other valuable fertilizing material would be much more readily accessible to farmers in the Leased Territories.\n\n## (7) Hawkers Standings \n\nWe are aware that a special committee has been considering the best means of dealing with the serious problem of hawkers in Hong Kong since the liberation. \n\nApart from being a menace to health, the congestion resulting from the partial, and sometimes complete, blocking of pathways and roads is responsible for loss of life and injury from traffic accidents. \n\nWe are of the opinion that much of this danger and nuisance could be avoided if hawkers were required to take up their stand on open spaces paved with cement, with drains, water hydrant for cleansing, fly-proof and rat-proof dust bins, etc. Certain of the areas, particularly in the more congested districts, where houses have been demolished by bomb or by looting, might, we urge, be cleared of rubble to serve as hawkers' stands.\n\n21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-618-1 Institute of Medical Research- proposed construction 21-4-1947 - 5-12-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 596190, "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": "CO129-622-9 Material for 'vetting' for lecture 9-11-1949 - 14-11-1949", "page_number": 19, "title": "CO129-622-9 Material for 'vetting' for lecture 9-11-1949 - 14-11-1949", "content_text": "before 1941.

Railway cost of living allowances also amounted to a further $787,680. This makes a total of $81,390,458 in respect of personal emoluments of the Government staff. Basic salaries showed a drop of approximately $100,000 as compared with 1950/51, in spite of increments on which a position of equilibrium has not yet quite been reached, an increase in Police personnel and the necessity to increase staff in certain other departments in connection with control measures of various kinds introduced during the year. This shows that the efforts to cut down staff wherever this can be done without loss of efficiency are at last beginning to show some results. In this connection a thorough comb-out has been undertaken of the posts which have remained unfilled for a number of months. As a result of the consolidation proposals which you have now approved in principle, though with certain reservations, a portion of the provision for cost of living allowances will in the course of the year be re-allocated to augment departmental personal emoluments in order to meet the increased basic salaries.\n\n15.\n\nOther Charges for 1951/52, excluding Public Works Non-Recurrent and Special Expenditure, and also cost of living allowances, totalled $87,574,145, representing an increase of $6 million over the figure of $81,655,470 for 1950/51. This increase under Other Charges mainly occurs under seven Heads, and is partly offset by reductions under other Heads. $21 million of the increase is in respect of additional charges for the conveyance of mails due to the greater quantities of transit mail passing through Hong Kong. This is offset by receipts on the revenue side. Then there are increases of nearly $12 million under the Subventions Head in respect of grants to vernacular schools, $1 million under Police Other Charges, and $1 million under Medical Other Charges.\n\n16.\n\nUnder the Public Works Department Head, Other Charges are up by over $13 million, owing to casual labour now being charged to a separate sub-head instead of as formerly being included in the provision for a particular work. There is of course a corresponding reduction of the Public Works Recurrent Head. There are also increases under the Marine and Railway Other Charges of $1 million and $2 million respectively, largely due to increased maintenance costs, but in the case of the Railway $1 million has been allocated for the inauguration of a Renewals Fund.\n\n17.\n\nSpecial Expenditure, excluding Public Works Non-Recurrent and works financed from Colonial Development and Welfare Grants, totals $31,021,647 as compared with $9,772,155 for 1950/51. Of this increase of $21.4 million over last year's figure, nearly $12 million is in respect of provisions not included in the 1950/51 estimates, namely the contribution to His Majesty's Government in respect of the present emergency, and re-votes in respect of civil measures for defence.

In the estimate for 1951/52 a sum of $8 million has been included for this contribution but this is only a tentative figure as the actual amount still has to be negotiated in respect of the coming year, and it is bound up with local expenditure on security and defence generally. In particular, it is considered that it should be related to the large re-votes totalling $1,700,000 which it has been necessary to make under the Miscellaneous Services and Public Works Non-Recurrent Heads in respect of civil measures for defence.\n\nThe other principal increases are analysed in the paragraphs dealing with Other Charges and Special Expenditure, and it will be seen that only a small proportion can be regarded as normal expenditure. Thus if self-balancing items, re-votes and items resulting from the unsettled political situation are excluded, the increase in the Colony's Budget is not an alarming one.\n\nPersonal emoluments which cover basic salaries and expatriation pay only are estimated at $48,602,778 to which must be added a figure of $31 million provided under the Miscellaneous Services Head in respect of cost of living allowances. Railway cost of living allowances also amount to a further $787,680. This makes a total of $80,390,458 in respect of personal emoluments of the Government staff.

This shows that the efforts to cut down staff, wherever this can be done without loss of efficiency, are at last beginning to show some results. In this connection a thorough comb-out has been undertaken of the posts which have remained unfilled for a number of months, and there has been a saving of staff owing to the transfer of responsibility for the maintenance of all Government telecommunications work to Cable & Wireless, though to a large extent this represents a re-allocation of expenditure from personal emoluments to Other Charges.\n\nOther Charges for 1951/52 excluding Public Works Non-Recurrent and Special Expenditure, and also cost of living allowances, total $87,574,145, representing an increase of $6 million over the figure of $81,655,470 for the year which is just closing. The Public Works Non-Recurrent programme is more extensive than was the case during the current year, and it is estimated to cost $34,478,887 or $5 million more.\n\nThe increase under Other Charges mainly occurs under seven Heads, but these are partly offset by reductions under other Heads. $2 million of the increase is in respect of additional charges for the conveyance of mails due to greater quantities of transit mail passing through Hong Kong.\n\nThis is offset by receipts on the revenue side.

Paragraph 2(a) of (13) on 55342/49 does not state anything new so far as Hong Kong is concerned. In (6) read with (4) (both on the same file) and the enclosures thereto, Hong Kong agreed to indemnify the War Department against claims arising from explosion etc. attributable to the action of the military forces employed in the disposal of unexploded bombs etc. (last sentence of paragraph 3 of (1) on 55342/49, copy of which was one of the enclosures to 4). This is in fact the point to which paragraph 6 of (4) now under consideration and paragraph 5 of (1) relate. The War Office admit that this agreement by Hong Kong was not in force when the explosion we are here concerned with occurred, but suggest that there should \"on moral grounds\" be retrospective application of the agreement on this point. I don't think these moral grounds are very strong. Hong Kong's agreement to indemnify the War Department, to which I have referred, was given as part of a bargain by which the War Department agreed to carry out the work of bomb disposal etc. provided the Hong Kong Government would pay the cost (including indemnification against claims). Not only did the explosion we are here concerned with occur long before this agreement was come to, but it did not occur in the course of bomb disposal etc. operations but, (according to the enclosures to (1)) as a result of negligence on the part of the War Department while the dump was under their sole charge.\n\n3. For the rest, I agree with Mr. Kirkness that the War Office's shift of ground to reliance on telegram 01733 avails them nothing. I am doubtful whether paragraph 3(a) of his minute is tenable, but I, like Mr. Palmer, think his paragraph 3(b) is. We should be grateful for Sir Sidney Abrahams' advice on this point. I have put in 52325/49, to his minute of 21/1 on which reference is made in Mr. Sidebotham's minute of 31/5 on this file.\n\n4. It is desirable to keep Eastern Department in the picture as to the progress of this argument, so I pass through Mr. Chaplin.\n\n5. There is a point not in issue here to which consideration should be given after the reply to the War Office has gone. That point is that in (b) of paragraph 2 of (13) we convey the view of the Federation of Malaya that the War Office should accept liability to pay pensions in the event of death or pensionable injury sustained by Army personnel during bomb disposal operations etc. Hong Kong have however agreed to accept such liability. When we put the proposals to them in (4) on 55342/49 we rather took it for granted that Malaya would agree to accepting liability on this point.\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-627-4 Argyle Street explosion- correspondence on claims and enquiries 1-6-1946 - 31-7-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 599402, "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": "CO129-627-4 Argyle Street explosion- correspondence on claims and enquiries 1-6-1946 - 31-7-1951", "page_number": 11, "title": "CO129-627-4 Argyle Street explosion- correspondence on claims and enquiries 1-6-1946 - 31-7-1951", "content_text": "point (see paragraph 2 of (4) on 55342/49) but in fact agreement with Malaya had not yet been completely tied up and it is now clear that on this particular point Malaya have never accepted the proposal.\n\nJ.
