The text is heavily affected by OCR errors, with numerous spelling mistakes, incorrect spacing, and potential issues with character recognition, especially for non-English characters.\n\n## Step 3: Apply the rules for proofreading\n1. **Format in Markdown**: The text needs to be transformed into standard Markdown format. This includes processing headers, sub-headers, bold-type, and tables.\n2. **Correct spelling errors**: Spelling mistakes need to be corrected.\n3. **Fix spacing issues**: Extra spaces should be removed, and missing spaces added. Hyphenation or line-break artifacts should be corrected.\n4. **Rejoin broken sentences**: Sentences split across lines or columns should be merged.\n5. **Restore paragraph breaks**: Incorrectly merged or split paragraphs should be formatted correctly.\n6. **Indicate missing words**: If a word is missing due to OCR damage, `...` should be inserted.\n7. **Do not rephrase or rewrite**: Only unambiguous errors should be corrected.\n8. **No translation**: Text should not be translated.\n9. **Format file references**: No spaces should be left inside file references.\n10. **Page numbering**: \"Page XX\" lines should be kept as is if they appear exactly six times (three at the top and three at the bottom).\n11. **No comments or explanations**: The output should not include any comments or explanations.\n\n## Step 4: Begin proofreading\nGiven the complexity and the condition of the input text, the first step is to identify and correct obvious OCR errors such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words or sentences.\n\n## Step 5: Analyze the text structure\nThe text appears to be a table or a list of financial transactions or accounts. It includes various categories like \"Balances,\" \"Revenue,\" \"Internal Revenue,\" and \"Departments.\" The structure suggests that it might be part of a larger financial report or ledger.\n\n## Step 6: Correct obvious errors\nStart by correcting obvious spelling errors and fixing spacing issues. For example, \"Revenge\" likely should be \"Revenue,\" and \"Sicenses\" should be \"Licenses.\" \"OH Sand for Buildings\" could be a misrecognition and might need correction based on context.\n\n## Step 7: Reconstruct tables or lists\nIf the text represents a table or list, attempt to reconstruct it using Markdown table syntax where appropriate.\n\n## Step 8: Address non-English text\nFor non-English text, especially Chinese characters, ensure that they are correctly represented. If the text is written in a non-standard direction (e.g., right to left), consider reversing it to conform to modern reading habits if necessary.\n\n## Step 9: Finalize the proofread text\nAfter applying the above steps, the text should be formatted in Markdown, with corrections made for spelling, spacing, and structural issues.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nAccount of WT.

Dodd & Co, the constituted Treasurers for the Public, they were informed by the Colonial Secretary, on 4th March 1847, that £6900 was the estimated cost for the Church, and Ordinance No. 2 of 1847, dated 11th March of that year, announced the same. It is therefore clear to me that Sir John Davis considered the provisions of the Ordinance the final arrangement, and binding the Government only to the payment of £4,600, which was two-thirds of the Estimate, for this service.\n\nUp to this period, the Reverend Mr. Stanton appears to have had the principal management of matters connected with the Church; but at an early period it seems to have been generally understood that the Estimate was on a considerably too low a scale for a building of the magnitude contemplated in the plans; nevertheless, the building was commenced, and no official representation, so far as I am aware, was made by Mr. Stanton to the Trustees, until the 25th May, 1848, two months after the departure of Sir John Davis. On the 7th May 1847, Trustees were officially nominated, 4 by the Government and 2 elected by the public. These Trustees must have been fully cognizant of the before-named fact, and I bring this forward to show that there does not, in my opinion, exist a shadow of legal claim against the Government for further contribution; but in consideration of the evident mistakes palpably evinced on the part of Mr. Gordon, the Surveyor General at the time of drawing up the Estimate (for £6900), as well as the fact that Estimates seldom equal the real cost of a building, remarked by Your Lordship, it may be a matter for the consideration of Her Majesty's Government whether it would not be desirable to make a further grant for enabling the Trustees to liquidate the debts now due.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 245212, "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": "CO129-069 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "page_number": 291, "title": "CO129-069 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12]", "content_text": "Hong Kong 25 September 1888\n\nD.

My attendance and Mr. J. H. Rautenberg \n\nThe whole particulars of whose case were possibly not fully detailed when the decision forwarded to me in letter F. 422 of 14th September 1874, was arrived at \n\nand at \n\nMr. Rautenberg is a Gentleman of private property in addition to the salary secured to him in the firm of \"Pareijou & Co.\" in which he was employed. He became insane and was sent to the Govt. Civil Hospital, where he remained three days under observation and was then dismissed, as such patients resident in the Colony are capable of providing their own expenses and proceedings for pari passu attendances are not maintained in that Establishment.\n\nMr. Rautenberg was not a violent lunatic and required only an attendant to look after him and some Medical attendance. This could greatly have been arranged.\n\nAnd on this 12 instant, I received from the Colonial Secretary's office an order to the following effect: \"You are hereby Authorized and required to Receive into the Gaol Hospital the person named J.H. Rautenberg subject to the payment by me for behoof of all charges incurred on his account.\"\n\nThis is quite an exceptional one, as the Government is not usually responsible for such payments.\n\nI would beg to draw special attention to the words \"subject to payment\" which appeared to me to make Mr. Rautenberg's case one requiring consideration as a certificate was required signed by the Medical Officer previous to the receipt of any lunatic within the Gaol, which was not provided for in any case and therefore I presume not supplied.\n\nBefore moving in the matter of charges, I consulted Dr. Dodd, the late Acting Surgeon, and Dr. O'Brien, late Superintendent of the Govt. Civil Hospital (and now the principal Medical practitioners in the Colony) and they assured me that I was perfectly justified in making the charge, and that any other course would result in the inference of Government taking upon itself the treatment of lunatics able to pay for themselves, and that such cases must be detrimental to the recognised right of private practitioners.\n\nAs Colonial Surgeon, I therefore submit this view of the matter on behalf of the Medical Practitioners of the Colony and personally, I feel sure, inasmuch as I am entitled to private practice, that His Excellency the Governor cannot propose to make me attend gratis week after week to patients.\n\nThe Colonial Secretary. \n\nI trust therefore that His Excellency the Governor will reconsider his decision, but should he unfortunately feel himself unable to do so, I have respectfully to apply that the correspondence may be forwarded to England for the consideration of the Right Honorable the Secretary of State as the principle involved is one far beyond the present question of charges.\n\nTrue Copy. \n\nJ. M.C. Rees \nColonial Surgeon.\n\nI have the honor to be, \nSir, \nYour Most Obedient Servant \n(Sig) Th. B.L.

This allegation is also untrue. When I held the post of Assistant Superintendent, I operated in a good many cases at the Hospital, such as opening of abscess, tapping for ascites, passing catheter, etc., etc. Whenever the Superintendent had to perform capital operations, it was I who generally administered anaesthetics, and there was not a single fatal accident during the whole time I was in the Hospital. Twice I performed craniotomy at the Civil Hospital without the assistance of another medical man. In one case of hydrocephalus, the mother made a very good recovery. In the other case, the woman was already very weak on her admission, and died a few hours after the operation.\n\nSince I took charge of the Gaol Hospital, I found difficulty in making arrangements for me to be present at the operations at the Civil Hospital, because they were generally performed before noon, when my time was taken up with my proper duty. Since my transference to the Gaol Hospital, this difficulty has greatly increased.\n\nDuring part of the time when I was in the Civil Hospital as Assistant Superintendent, Dr. J. Stockwell, and afterwards Surgeon-Major Murray, were appointed Acting Superintendents, and I am not aware that they ever made any complaints against me.\n\n### Colonial Surgeon's Annual Report for 1885\n\nThe subjoined paragraph is taken from the Colonial Surgeon's Annual Report for 1885:- \n\"This year the Superintendent was absent on sick leave for five months. During his absence Drs. Dodd, Pike, and Thompson of the Army Medical Department, acted alternately in his place; but as their services could only be spared from their Military duties during the day, Dr. Marques performed the duties at night or in his absence I was called upon.\"\n\nDr. Harry in his Annual Report for the same year, referring to those three gentlemen, stated:- \n\"4.

The Swift moored head and stern, with her head about E.S.E., hauled close in to the rocky shore to the southward in less than two fathoms, being coals and provisioned, and their ammunition put on board. After consultation with the General, the Commodore had started them off at 7 a.m. round by D'Aguilar for Tytam Bay. De Horsey was in command of the Swift, with 25 of his own men, two R.N.R. officers from the Empress of India (Messrs Tootham and Roswald). Sub.-Lt. Dayley of the Plover was in charge of the Rattler with Mr Nartlew, Chief Boatswain of the Yard, and an R.N.R. officer (Mr Atkinson) from the Radnorshire, with the remainder of the Plover's crew,—60 merchant seamen R.N.R. and others were in the Swift, and 30 in the Rattler. Only one Engineer was sent in each vessel, Messrs Mallett and Irish respectively, as the ships had only to get to Tytam; for the same reason only a small supply of coal was put on board, and no great quantity of provisions and water, they were both flying light. She was protected to the southward by the rocky peninsula from fire from the bay. To attack her, vessels would have to come round the point exposed at two cables' distance to her whole port broadside. The Rattler was hauled further in towards Tytam Tuk, but on the northern shore in 9 feet—moored head and stern, head to the S.W. Her port broadside also swept the passage to the Swift, and her small Gardner in the foretop covered the Shaukiwan Road.

The redoubt commanded the cove to the south and the Shaukiwan Road to the right, as well as preventing the enemy pouring fire right down on to the deck of the Swift. The troopers were escorted by the three destroyers, Borgo, Revel, and Seaborg. The Orel, of the Russian volunteer fleet, had been despatched from Vladivostock on the 7th inst. for Saigon, as the French were short of transport. The Russian expedition left Vladivostock on the 15th, and going down outside-cast of Formosa, the allies were to rendezvous twenty miles south of the Gap Rock at 4 p.m. on the 23rd. Akinoff could or would give no details as to the French forces. As a fact, the French brought up 10,000 men in six ships, including the Orel (of 2,850 tons), conveyed by the cruisers Descartes and Eclaireur, and the foreign old ironclad Triomphante, the reserve ship in Saigon.\n\nThe Commodore, with the Master Attendant, towed down the nine German merchant steamers and the one French sailing ship (the Du Guesclin), and moored them in a double line across the Lyemun passage, heavy cables being passed along then, taken in astern and passed out of the hawse-holes forward. The ends were secured ashore. The shore ends being floated on cargo boats left no openings at all. The Harbour Master and Staff Commander Jones moored the eight other steamers and a Hawaiian barque similarly across the Sulphur Channel.\n\nWe wanted to torpedo boats in in the night. About 5 a.m., Dover (the Assistant Harbour Master) and Robinson (the senior boarding officer) were sent out in two launches, the Gladiator and Vancouver, to see what had become of the enemy. Robinson went into Picnic Bay in Lama Island, and had a long and hot walk over the hills. Dover kept on round by the Fast side of Lama, and coming round Green Hummock into S.E. bay, came plump on the Destroyer Sveaborg; she opened fire smartly on the launch, killing two men, and sinking the Gladiator before she could be turned round. Two of her crew ashore and succeeded in rejoining Robinson. The Seaborg proceeded South to the Gap Rock about 7 a.m.\n\nAmongst the wounded in our hands was General Akinoff, second in command of the Russian expeditionary force—the Commander in Chief, General Grombetchsky, had been killed. General Akinoff was quite willing to communicate the facts as to the Russian forces—they had consisted of the regiments of Nerehitusk and Tomsk and a small Russian regiment numbers 3,003—and the French forces—the French Commander-in-Chief, General Morbleu, assumed the supreme control. All the new arrivals began hoisting out torpedo and troop boats. The Eclaireur was despatched to the Eastward, where she subsequently captured the Sungkiang (Capt. Dodd) and the Verona (Capt. Tocque). The wounded were hoisted out for landing and tents to be... \n\nPage 21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369441, "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": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 29, "title": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "38\n\n(4.)

I am a fisherman living at Yaumati, Hong Kong. \n\n2. In the Autumn and Winter of 1900 I was living at No. 1, Shin Hing Lane, Victoria, Hongkong on the second floor. I was employed by Li Kwai Fan who has been recently sentenced to death for the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. While I was there (I forgot the date) I saw a man visit Li Kwai Fan. The man said he was pilot of the Chinese Gunboat \"Kin Yui\", and I heard him tell Li Kwai Fan that a despatch had been issued by the Viceroy to Li Ka Cheuk offering a large reward for the murder of Yeung Kui Wan. \n\n3. Shortly afterwards Li Kwai Fan asked me to assist him in killing Yeung Kui Wan but I refused to do so. \n\n4. In January, 1901, I saw Yeung Tsing Kai, the Captain of the Chinese Gunboat \"Kin Yui\" at No. 1 Shin Wing Lane, and on the 9th January I saw Chan Lam Tsai and Tung Cheung there and heard them talking with Li Kwai Fan about killing Yeung Kui Wan. \n\n5. On the 10th January I was in my uncle's boat at Yaumati when Li Kwai Fan came on board at about 8 B.M. He told my uncle in my hearing that he had shot Yeung Kui Wan and asked to be allowed to stay there for the night but my uncle sent him away. I afterwards saw him in Canton where he told me he had received a large reward and a \"button\" (i.e. official rank) for killing...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-317 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 390943, "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": "CO129-320 - Governor Sir Blake Acting Governor May - 1903 [11-12]", "page_number": 496, "title": "CO129-320 - Governor Sir Blake Acting Governor May - 1903 [11-12]", "content_text": "C8B\n\nworth namabad.

That year was 1895. \n\nClause 9 deals with the value of the Lot when it ceased to be a Marine Lot. Here again Sir Matthew is met by the conflicting evidence of Experts, but treats $2.50 per foot as the most correct valuation, and deducting this from $3.50 which he thought fairly represented the value of the Lot as a Marine Lot, notwithstanding Governor Des Voeux's valuation of $5.00 per foot, he arrives at the conclusion that $1 per foot, giving $32,481, is the total amount for depreciation. \n\nIt is now contended that $110,000 was no criterion of the value of the property in October 1899 because it was afterwards sold for $140,000. In July 1859 the property was offered for sale by auction and no purchaser could be found to pay more than $100,000. \n\nI then offered it to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co., to the Hong Kong & Kowloon Godown Company, to S. J. David & Co., and Mr. Stephens offered it to Mr. Chater, for $110,000, and they would not buy: but Mr. Hughes ultimately found a buyer in the Humphreys Estate & Finance Company, who after about 7 months working, earning gross rentals of $1,754.87 during that time, sold it, I was informed, with a lease at $600 a month for the Western half to be used as a soda water factory for $120,000. Had such a lease been offered to us we should not have sold the property. Thus the lease accounts for the rise in value. \n\nClause 11 states that we are entitled to 10% on the amount of depreciation.

With the omission of the reference to Customs duty, the Article was agreed to.\n\nH. C.

J. J. MacDonald M.D., a member of the Wesleyan Missionary Society who has resided at Wuchow for many years. The steamer touched at Yun Ki, Mahning, Kumchuk and Kaukong taking 9, 2, 31 and 37 passengers at these places respectively. Dinner was served in the saloon at 6 p.m., the Captain, F.W. Joslin, the Chief Engineer, J.W. Seggie, and Dr. MacDonald being present. At about 6.45 these three were talking together on the dack outside the saloon door on the port side when they saw one of the Indian watchmen running forward towards them pursued by a Chinese with a revolver. Captain Joslin hurried aft to the watchman's help and knocked down his assailant who however sprang up and fired at him at close quarters. The bullet struck him full in the middle of the body. A number of men armed with revolvers came running up the ladder. The three Europeans accompanied by the watchmen turned back and made for the ladder leading to the wheelhouse where the arms were kept, but were headed off by a second band of pirates who had come up on the starboard side. They took refuge in the saloon, but the pirates began to pour their fire through the windows to avoid which the four men got under the table a solid teakwood one.

The Secretary of State was obviously under the impression that\n\nremittances were made at the same rate as that at which salaries\n\nwere paid. The large difference which has for a second time\n\noccurred warrants me in expressing the hope that Your Excellency\n\nmay take prompt action in the present unfortunate circumstances.\n\n5.\n\nI have the honour also to point out in\n\nsupport of the request that I am making to Your Excellency that\n\nthe question now raised is entirely independent of the main\n\nquestion which has been raised in the different memorials which\n\nhave been forwarded to the Secretary of State. It is concerned\n\nsolely with the local rule by which the rate for each month is\n\nascertained. A concession on this point would not therefore in\n\nany way prejudge the larger question raised by the memorials.\n\n6.\n\nLooking at the question in its superficial\n\naspect it will doubtless occur to many that the present fall in\n\nexchange will ameliorate the position of civil servants: but\n\nowing to the operation of the artificial rule by which the month-\n\nly rate is ascertained, not only will they derive no benefit\n\nfrom the fall this month, but even next month the rate will be\n\nunnecessarily high owing to the high rate prevailing on 15th\n\nMarch as compared with that now obtaining. In order to emphasise\n\nthis unsatisfactory state of affairs, I draw Your Excellency's\n\nattention to the fact that in spite of the recent severe fall in\n\nexchange the rate at which salaries will be paid this month is\n\nthe same as last month.\n\n7.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 409265, "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": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "page_number": 331, "title": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "content_text": "327\n\naluto ne gnoT to noltije¶ edź no rogs a'rottollo8 mvorn\n\n.TORI,NOTEM .NJSI botah nad?

If the petitioners had desired to contest the legality of these decisions of the Full Court they should have applied to His Majesty in Council for special leave to appeal; they did not do so.\n\nPara. 26.\n\nThe claimants Lam Tak Luk and Lam Cheung Fuk covenanted with the purchasers from them that their title was good and that they would do everything necessary to complete it.

March, No. 12 of 1902, in reply to the Petition of our clients the Executrixes of Tong Wan Chiu and Ku Fai Shan, in which you inform us that His Excellency is unable to accede to the prayer of the Petitioners.\n\n2.\n\nIn reply to paragraph 2 of your letter, we are quite aware that an Affidavit of the Magistrate of the San On District was filed to the effect that, in his opinion, the Deed of the 10th. January, 1883, was a forgery. We do not know how the Magistrate was induced to make such an Affidavit, but in any case it is common knowledge that Chinese Mandarins are notoriously corrupt and unprincipled, and any evidence by such a Mandarin must be received with the greatest suspicion, especially when the same is given by Affidavit, and is not subject to the usual test of cross-examination.\n\n3.\n\nWe think however you have not quite appreciated the point made in paragraph 27 of our clients' Petition in this matter. The point is as follows: It is evident that the said deed of the 10th. January, 1883, (although stated by the Magistrate to be a forgery) had in fact been recognised and acted upon by the Chinese Authorities for many years past. This appears from documents which were put in on the hearing of the Appeal, namely the receipts for taxes paid to the Chinese Government in respect of the Land in question. These receipts state that the payer of the tax was Yut Ying, the family name denoting...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 409290, "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": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "page_number": 356, "title": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "content_text": "PESTSES\n\nFaekl,, kodi vo‚anoxynok\n\nto etunta a'xone[[oox2 8IF of consteter ridiW\n\n12\n\n-orq da vaidow frels and dart atera of ged I PORI YA* .N:EL\n\nİRAFANGO & as vòinavoor etuloade na al poltto eldt nt inee-\n\neind to atmuodoA sit ditw nottoennon mi ?tbok síð ca ,658850\n\n,bensqo need evað aðnnooos wen,doum VISV BDBASton! aad taolon\n\n-anosberq va ri want betoubaoo won et Jibuk beltstab erom a bre\n\nJeon betoblanoo I BOGI at eroď favizza y nodotrw emit a'zoa-\n\n.nottoa ym heltidest vilut monte evar affusor bre # VT888838\n\nead Istened) ozibwa bræ ̧re!

In fact the matter was one of uncertainty. As events have shown they have to live at Kowloon for the good of the work and communication with the Government, and within reasonable limits they may be held to have taken the risk of this obligation. But when the dearness of quarters at Kowloon is considered amounting to from 16 to 20 per centum of their income it appeared to us a case of hardship which should be met and we accordingly recommended that about one half of their rent should be defrayed by the Government. \n\n7. \nWith regard to the second point, we think it should be remembered that those employed on the construction of the Railway only hold a temporary appointment and accordingly receive a higher salary than those holding a permanent position. Further, it should be remembered that those holding a permanent Government appointment qualify for a pension while those holding only a temporary one do not. \n\n8. \nWe therefore repeat our recommendations; first, that Mr. Eves be granted a House Allowance of £100 per annum, secondly, that those members of his staff resident in Kowloon should be granted an allowance of £60 per annum, and thirdly, that no rent should be charged for the temporary quarters which have been assigned to those members of the staff working up country.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-346 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 413408, "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": "CO129-346 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [1-3]", "page_number": 355, "title": "CO129-346 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [1-3]", "content_text": "# COLONY OF HONGKONG, 1907\n## STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURE IN THE YEAR, UNDER SUB-HEADS, AS COMPARED WITH THE ESTIMATES.\n\n| ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OF EXPENDITURE | ACTUAL EXPENDITURE | OVER THE ESTIMATE | UNDER THE ESTIMATE | SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATE |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n## SANITARY DEPARTMENT,--Continued.\n### Other Charges,-- Continued.\n#### Sanitary Staff,-Continued.\n\n| Item | ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OF EXPENDITURE | ACTUAL EXPENDITURE | OVER THE ESTIMATE | UNDER THE ESTIMATE |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Nightsoil Recepineles | 1,100 | 983 | | 117 |\n| Reading Room Light | 72 | 95 | 23 | |\n| Refund of Fees for Sanitary Institute Examinatious | 135 | ... | | 135 |\n| Rent | 8,900 | 3,900 | | 5,000 |\n| Rest of District Offices | 1,680 | 1,440 | | 240 |\n| Scavenging City, Villages and Hill District | 117,824 | 108,769.53 | | 9,054.47 |\n| Street-watering | 11,000 | 8,386.50 | | 2,613.50 |\n| Uniform for Staff | 5,000 | 3,584.73 | | 1,415.27 |\n| Vaccination Bonuses | 100 | 60.30 | | 39.70 |\n\n### Veterinary Staff.\n\n| Item | ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OF EXPENDITURE | ACTUAL EXPENDITURE | OVER THE ESTIMATE | UNDER THE ESTIMATE |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Animal Depôts and Slaughter-honses | | | | |\n|   Firewood | 2,000 | 1,635.35 | | 364.65 |\n|   Gas | 500 | 473.96 | | 26.04 |\n|   Sundries | 500 | 465.19 | | 34.81 |\n| Cattle Crematorium and Refuse Destructor | 600 | 315.85 | | 284.15 |\n| Conveyance | 1,140 | 1,029 | | 111 |\n| Markets | | | | |\n|   Electric Light, Central | 6,500 | 6,352.96 | | 147.04 |\n|   Electric Light, New Western | ... | 832.78 | 832.78 | |\n|   Incidental Expenses | 3,200 | 2,367.22 | | 832.78 |\n\n### Plague Staff.\n\n| Item | ORIGINAL ESTIMATE OF EXPENDITURE | ACTUAL EXPENDITURE | OVER THE ESTIMATE | UNDER THE ESTIMATE |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Ambulances, Coffins, Doad Vans and Dead Boxes | 2,500 | 1,938.60 | | 561.40 |\n| Burial of Plague Corpses | 3,000 | 1,835.10 | | 1,164.90 |\n| Carriage of Plague Corpses | 1,800 | 418.50 | | 1,381.50 |\n| Compensation for Damages by Disinfection | 1,000 | 475.20 | | 524.80 |\n| Compensation for infeered cattle slaughtered | 2,513 | ... | | 2,513 |\n| Conveyance | 1,560 | 1,351.29 | | 208.71 |\n| Coolie Labour | 5,000 | 4,441.04 | | 558.96 |\n| Disinfectants | 13,000 | 4,209.03 | | 8,790.97 |\n| Disinfecting and Cleansing Apparatus | 2,500 | 973.68 | | 1,526.32 |\n| Head-stones | 500 | 50 | | 450 |\n| Incidental Expenses | 5,000 | 2,962.66 | | 2,037.34 |\n| Paint, Soap, Turpentine, &c. | 3,500 | 3,204.80 | | 295.20 |\n\nBrought forward, 2,638,781 | 2,394,372.52 | | | \nCarried forward, $ 2,834,112 | 2,554,828.80 | 22,510.83 | 294,278.33 | 231,747.69 \n\n## REMARKS EXPLANATORY OF INCREASE OR DECREASE.\n\nPage 26\nPage 27", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-346 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 414772, "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": "CO129-349 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [10-12]", "page_number": 61, "title": "CO129-349 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [10-12]", "content_text": "## Primary Document Content\nThe original OCR output appears to be a jumbled and distorted representation of the actual text.

Therefore on the basis of one-third the corrected capital plus 5 per cent. of that one-third the amount of compensation would be:- \n$20,656.20.\n\n2. The amount of compensation required if the divans in Lists A and B are closed is:-\n### List A\n| Class | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1st class | $1,438.41 |\n| 2nd class | $1,284.86 |\n| Dross divans | $1,810.21 |\n| **Total** | **$4,533.48** |\n\n### List B\n| Amount |\n| --- |\n| $1,653.50 |\n| $1,284.86 |\n| $1,768.01 |\n| **$4,706.37** |\n\nThe difference therefore is roughly $173.00. But List B contains one divan No. 348, Queen's Road West which has been closed for several months and which is not included in my list of divans for that reason. This makes the difference to be paid to the divans rather greater than actually appears, it at the same time reduces the difference between the compensation demanded by the Opium Farmer for closing Lists A and B respectively. On the whole, the difference of the compensation demanded by the Opium Farmer rather more than covers the extra compensation due to divans.\n\n4. I have been through Lists A and B and cannot quite understand the ground on which the Opium Farmer has chosen his list. In a few cases, he has apparently tried to save divans that have been in existence for a considerable length of time. He has also saved one or two in remote districts, even though their business seems to be small. All the divans in his list which do not appear in List A have only been in existence for a short time, but I have got figures for this last month from them which agree with my previous figures and...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-349 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1908 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416033, "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": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 198, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "195\n\noril visit to yone toitto si to dano sfit to erudibne QXS\n\nart of meoneo svete to reddam s earuno to et aiNT\n\na nitiw derd Xrans* yem sw be grovenol to Insnimisvoð\n\n-Oundanoo to tsdostaťo ni viuro” inu gaituosa od wstv\n\nsved soft10 Introfo? a'yðasts will dremqtupe bns noit\n\n-ntant amitIwano\" enua eft fent auorlash 613 bas need\n\nbna Isinofc0 snít ddod tot bejaloqgs ed blvora eres\n\n+\n\nVewitali end to anoitos? waenino\n\nynið Turenço bastarebnu ew al vera stlow ndot n18\n\nas 1 bas yawl to Jrsunrevon anodynol sɗa rol reenigna\n\nno bedroger ofw vrmed.6\n\nA\n\nTa brs erf bedeqioʻtdns ew\n\nGuerin erit yf bedaingga mesd bar noltouß Geening end\n\n-nofe end yf berieeb Jnswegner\"s ent merit tot dos od\n\nhofialiqunoo need evadi bluow esvisaquo yd bne soitto Isi\n\nddiw noldsonnoo mi 8 13 [idianoqaet run figuONSIA\n\nIsta & Ivet eacloftroven sw,bed tmff 57s noltoundengo\n\nob of anshforbood ent not absdauf en Wifidianoqeet\n\nes vtiquose \"ient od ot al tedw rot mno sw feed end\n\n6 W doit at seinqtedre yawltei secmin) tot ae IIew\n\nsdt sdensdier of gvasi ged ow bns be testedni viqueb os\n\nvert as li dont roddel ssurot jo mi beazorąze noiniqo\n\n680qorq\n\npropose the Chinese appoint Mr. Jame (a Chinese),\n\nConsulting Engineer instead of Sir John Wolfe Barry and\n\nMr. A.

During the four years I have been Chief Justice I know that I have won the confidence of all sections of a very mixed community, and I have the honour to ask the Secretary of State to accept my statement, which I make as Chief Justice, and with a full sense of the responsibilities of my position, that the action which I took was absolutely necessary to the maintenance of the dignity of the Bench, and that it did in fact do so, and also restored the confidence and good relations between the Bench and the profession which had been shaken through no fault of mine.\n\nThe facts I have already dealt with in my former letter, and it is unnecessary to recapitulate them. The position in which I found myself was one of difficulty. It was one of those positions which sometimes arise in a small Colony, and are hardly to be appreciated in all their bearings, at home. Nor, as what happened has shown, can they be appreciated by those in the Colony who do not understand the somewhat delicate machinery necessary to the efficient working of a Court of Law in the Colonies. But in this case instead of consulting the Chief Justice on the matter the only advice sought by the Government was that of the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. Some action was necessary to counteract the bad impression caused by the hostile and unwarranted attitude assumed towards me by the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce: that attitude led to the most ridiculously untrue statements being made in the press it reflected unjustly on my conduct personally, and if continued it would have produced very grave consequences. It was therefore in my opinion necessary to stop it; and by a good-humoured letter I succeeded in doing so, restored confidence, and allayed the feelings of irritation which had been engendered.

In the 12th. paragraph of the Colonial Secretary's Memorandum, referring to Mr. Wakeman's letter, he says \"there is no evidence that they (the Foreign Consuls) do get more satisfaction\" than the English Consuls. The necessary evidence is now supplied by this case. \n\nThe system is as bad as can be, and highly prejudicial to the commerce of the Colony generally, and especially to British Merchants. I have said what I think of it in my judgment, in the parts marked in red ink. \n\nThe close connexion between this subject and that discussed in the correspondence with the Acting Consul-General will be clear to Your Excellency. The question involved is that the British Merchants stand in great need of as much protection as they can get from the Consulates in China. The tradition has been to treat the Chinese strictly in accordance with juristic principles; and I myself am in favour of it. Mr. Fox however seems to me to press this tradition to an extreme. \n\nBut the Germans certainly, and I fancy other nationalities do the same (except perhaps the Americans), proceed on the reverse system, and what is badly wanted is some system by which all should fare and share alike. \n\nI do not propose to make any definite suggestion,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-355 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419146, "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": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "page_number": 255, "title": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "content_text": "264\n\najusegred colloq biza ert to adnexajaja ent .F vand Jand doat srld of OB OUTJ 9Tow #jertet bre moatuk Jud ‚ened of gnut bise edo mi ramottidel woy eeu 5lb s'zenoktijel¶ quoy to notribnoo sift of ea ajnomejoju itadi quot dadd eldtsooq at JI .JoeToont erow aserb gleduioada ed Jud benojðudnu STOW BISAUOrd a'zomoljijeq jnejni srld date bauodjudru 03 019w yorid do it astmeð .ok to nobiuer a at odw bearodoM.

Subsquently to his dismissal as aforesaid your Petitioner applied to His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong for the grant to him of a pension but such application has been unconditionally refused.\n\n12. Your Petitioner has not been publicly charged with and tried for having attempted to commit an unnatural offence, and no opportunity has therefore been given him of cross-examination the witnesses against him, nor of producing witnesses who, as he informed the Assistant Superintendent of Police prior to his dismissal, are able to prove the falsity of much of the evidence given by the said Tsang Ku The Colonial Secretary of Hongkong in\n\na letter written by him to your Petitioner's Solicitors stated that the reason why no prosecution was instituted against your Petitioner was in consequence of a desire to be in view of his meritorious *as lenient as possible service.*\n\n15. In the letter of the Colonial Secretary in the last preceding paragraph referred to it is stated that your Petitioner admitted the charge made against him, but such statement is not correct. The circumstances connected with the alleged admission are as follows:-\n\nOn the 20th January 1908 a letter was written to your Petitioner by the Assistant Superintendent of Police asking your Petitioner to make a statement. On the 21st January 1908 another letter was written by the sald Assistant Superintendent of Police to your Petitioner in which letter the writer said the best way would be for your Petitioner to admit \"that the facts are as stated in the.......report..........\n\nOn the 23rd January 1908 your Petitioner wrote out a statement", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419158, "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": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "page_number": 267, "title": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "content_text": "Page 256\n\noral muld not soalq guihin sic of enst eis oont merit food bus\n\n.erard poris stel ha 7.8 08.CX Juoda Lisun adanɗ ya hefrow I \"Tobar galbraza „hæof baowy£IGH momh,daluh tabarrel, weo I meriw sakit ab\"awot nwoh bax[sw I doutra ayað da dual oirzos[% esit\n\now rum of ADnsZJke 9:J TA 29er 877 .9K RÓTAWos qu erao oil bas\n\n.SMAI I \" og of ow st# erat .3) al w H :gulvan Jarit exoqe aff od digi”,bowollot en hus, draw I .ersi o\" nuï ni,ezek :bisa bro ext baeria no now I .608TA\" Jatibayl odni anuð al exeɗw t\n\ndright arid watdit vianocturg I „Antited aortsdelh artoa new sɗf bas\n\navelled mil eder: of as de,enal mild 98 bna od od no qual va to\n\nod barn?w wilson I Judœsin new Is 7 oor of guldool'ɛaw I\n\nway dad his'ta xaw I ‚orsfit Illża enev #J169378? odd ti word beantoqqa nit deaq gnol saw di esda yntosa enon eran diyim : ob of em draw noy ob talf thisa I en od qu zog en mar\" .swid bus,ahlvosía va hanora ma et air air and Tevarte don hib ef\n\n肯\n\nduq nada I *B*ARWONZ Aldi to snort art qnfobor vitnetarGA BAW da qu bezool bus,au sea blnow efqoeg date gabyse yď to mid boora hite,did a yawa baxlaw narið I .Anal Bit nl ewobniw edi\n\nhoota h enal ert to ebla reddo sdt of arso nerit aX.\n\n*new naЛr I\n\nered,skol! :an of hersqeldw naɗit of •v*wY0ab & c\n\n#KAMITOR? atrí 20 daort art tant baolzoN oa golob ul .mid ✪t bært eravach ertiw mis to chiasmo almaq air way I hos,n9qo Baw\n\n.9%ow off dard riddw bra Jarit noareq atdi son rasm I bine most?

I have been told by credible informants that the Customs have never yet succeeded in making their \"Kowloon station\" pay. Perhaps Mr. Moorhead states that \"the decrease in 1897 was probably due to the opening of the new West River ports and the stringent carrying out of the transit pass rules, both of which causes helped to divert trade from junks to other channels\" and that the decrease in 1898 was due to \"the same causes, assisted by the desire on the part of shippers to escape a tax called Tao-lu levied this year for the first time in certain articles (Tobacco, Salt Fish, Kerosene Oil, Samshu, etc.) passing the stations\".\n\nFrom Mr. Moorhead's table, which unfortunately has not been retained in the annual Returns of Trade, it appears that the figures for 1898 (when collection was made at Capsulmoon, etc.) and for 1901 (when collection was made at Taishan, etc.) were almost identical: while as regards the distribution between the several stations \n\n(a) in 1898 Capsulmoon and Changchow collected in all Tls. 307,354: but these stations were replaced by those at Taishan and Lintin which in 1901 collected Tls. 301,666 i.e. very nearly the same amount.\n\n(b) in 1898 Fatshan and Kowloon collected in all Tls. 31,252: but these stations were replaced by those at Samun, Saüchung, Shanchun and Shatowkok which in 1901 collected Tls. 49,794 i.e. a considerably increased sum.\n\nThere was a decrease of Tls. 162,009 or 51% in the total revenue collected: and that since then the total collection has remained fairly constant. \n\n| Year | Amount |\n|------|--------|\n| 1898 | 307,354 |\n| 1901 | 301,666 |\n| 1898 | 31,252 |\n| 1901 | 49,794 |\n\n# OUD, POA \n081, 183 \n# \n# \n0081 \n1001 \nBOOHOTO Alb eft \nBeon6re7710 \nxsa,50 004.08 090.38 \n\nBIT \n# \nerid reiw vijosxe broqnoroo den ob novewod \n.atmal \n\nTyd nevis muigo no ntvti bos yjub not newgit sunever crit 8001 of 1981 morî darit (s) nofe neidad beatdwoo aff TEBI mi dørit (0) besoni qIlheads amodwo noolwo? erit yd bedoellos BIT to IIa) silla a auw ezerid galuollot ert at dadd (o) :020 \n\nIt appears the rest of the text is not readable or meaningful after OCR.

If a Junk neglects to so report itself, the Junk Master should be punished by the Colonial Authorities by fine; or the Imperial Maritime Customs in Hongkong should be informed and allowed to examine the cargo and collect dues upon it. \n\nHis Excellency demurred to both these latter suggestions, and after discussion, it was agreed that the Junk might be detained, either by refusing her clearance, by the Colonial Authorities, if the Junk Master went to the nearest Imperial Maritime Customs Station and paid the necessary dues. \n\n(d). There should be more check upon the cargoes carried by Junks into and out of the Colony by the keeping of statistics at the Harbour Office. Junks should be obliged to deposit their manifests, and the information contained in these should be communicated to the Imperial Maritime Customs. It was agreed that this might be done, it being clearly understood that the Colonial Government would not be responsible for the verification of the information supplied. \n\n## CLAUSE I - SALT \n\nHis Excellency explained that salt did not fall into the same category with opium and arms, since it was not a harmful article, restrictions upon the trade in which might be dictated by the Comity of Nations. The restrictions suggested in Mr. Harris' memorandum were solely in the interests of China's revenue. His Excellency added that much salt was imported from countries other than China, and that salt was largely made in the Colony. Hongkong was not, therefore, dependent on salt imported from China. \n\nMr. Harris said that the export of salt from China was prohibited; that he believed there was a very considerable trade in salt imported from China to Hongkong; that if this import were stopped...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 425496, "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": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "page_number": 521, "title": "CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5]", "content_text": "# 28 \n516 \nJ \n\n## DODS \n44 \n22 \n\naldent Ba \nbewolls aegellu \nexolfag 80 \nBebnod \n\n## 8803 \nTot bris Begsilu not eonswolls to moitasup airT \nnoidonutno ni otal bedoof ed bluoda eldadabibas no beater blupit \n.aeijĺodjua VistItн erit jiw \n26 Jasmyaq arid gatimeonoo nesize ear noidaeup A \nTot eentw saenido mi gailsch agnoн auoremum add yd asareoti srelaeb \nald beaavoxlb over tiosym brie ɗtlwloed Juell toqze bne troqui \nJVI to V8.ok sonanibr0 Ja tuo betaloq ever i has Joeldwe \n\nATI 70 84 .oll eonaUIDTY NJIW eonelnav Ja Ja iwenoe ai redmojqsë \nJerit ae tete vitoniJath 9 moltovë qehow remot ent \n\n.0001、zedaeosï \nbeuset ed Iiare IQ o 7.3 mottoeð чehau Jimneq Invomer ok\" \naeftitre dotriw oecool & blor Jon se6b ofw mousey yrs of \nearl bna Jarreq eft yd bersyon exoupil sit at seb od atri \n,neomanibro eganeoti anoupil eft rebru redtie bewast need \n,9omanib40 (nottningef) sainojiet well eit no B081-8e8I \ndilw soxabrosos al dnebnejut requè en yd ro QQ81 \nrebnu IlonuOU-Tİ-KONTAvoa edo vd ebam ed of anoitsluger \neereolI benoitrem desI down tot eet enT .

This could be ascertained by supplying the names and addresses of these Hongs to the Police. \n\nThese Hongs have formed a Guild called the Wa On Kung Sho. They receive orders from abroad on commission which they fulfil by ordering wines from Canton and/or buy locally from licensed warehouses: when the wines ordered from Canton &c. arrive in time it is transhipped at once to the exporting vessel: but in many cases the shipment is delayed either by the Consignments arriving too late for shipment by a particular vessel or purposely for blending operations. \n\nIn the former case the Hongs prefer to pay the duty at once, take delivery and keep the wine in their own custody rather than to bond, pay high godown rent and carry an insurance. No refund is claimed on this wine when again leaving the Colony. When the Hongs buy from licensed warehouses, the licensees apply for the necessary permit to export and delivery from the Licensed Warehouse and attends to the shipment - the Warehouse keeper's responsibility ceases once the cases have left this godown. \n\nThere is a second class of Hongs formed into a guild called the Tung Yan Tong ): these import for retailing but they also receive orders from abroad on commission and do an export business: These Hongs I am informed have a license but this should also be verified by the Police from the list of applicants which could be supplied by...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-366 - Governor Sir Lugard Acting Governor May - 1910 [4-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 425768, "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": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "page_number": 138, "title": "CO129-367 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [6-7]", "content_text": "Page 136\n\nto moleaeiqung erið not mastné z bæti eft\n\neuɛɛl baxxat yɗersi gaut growl to nonivorg efortw end ni muigo\n\nto noijonse eft benisido avail s▼ -:awolfot as moitsoltiton aids\n\nautyvel to retiam ent ni modnɛd to yorsoIV ent yone![sox¤ ail\n\nlaðirnoq bus aeomeoli to evael erit ni mulgo bensgeng no xat a\n\ns estona otat moltszitesvni dyvoroft a exær of at joaldo erit\n\nthsetis evad s▼ .otldıq griwanoo eft nog dug að yar tutardesT\n\nbro Boron etd♪ mort bevt-ob sunever end to øjemitee na obas\n\nno eexet easdt gatioellos rot v‡illdtanoquet erft soafq LLEW\n\neroted (oreonla baɛ ob-ot-IIew eɗ darm yest .87eisab muiɖo wat\n\nns to fiveet erið að „gnixs:robar etris not sidijsqnoo ets vedt\n\nto JNUMBSTOîns snt sonte tant two bawo? evad ew,obam vitupne\n\nest no medeve dionog odt robnu mulqo bereqergau to Bestorwq ont\n\n** to Jaom gniob ai neʊY gnty growl Jant Issy trai to moom,N‡01\n\nIsX sildwaraisah srit gnons mulqo war azierot nt saenturd edt\n\nwat evitsu to seIna gaidoette mi basi edt guldet et la no\n\n-OJ-[lev sta verit to stod dent soiton two od amoo amri I .muiqo\n\n.noltosIea fowe not sit aunt els veɗT .EJORñɔTem sreonta bum ob-\n\nLe nojaaŬ to evalvong efor s anteonos flow and as Jue\n\ngallygume bus gatzɔedo nexat gritosifon ddiw betosanoo eretiam\n\nart at støolieb bra avotrstitium \n-mi erit bnstetebar Jaum (atnsdotem owt adt) vodT .gataniged\n\ngalog at v±woit?ib et tæet don term,estatis sɗt to sonstroq-\n\nYoɗT.Yowoq has yìub tiedt beeɔxe ton Jaum,IoW tedd ddiw no\n\n.ognibnsjerebovalm (la Leelo bra,batm eno đtiw Inow oale Jaum\n\n+gnidosorgqs vihiqay at eɛentaud aldt şaitreta tot stab erið ¤A -utosterq-dua (æstfostenq bas „notneð nt atsiseb mulqo war (ES\n\nto atimti erit abiɛtuo aerineo Islotemmos bne „atotutalb,807-\n\n=DYNSTIS YIofarsqrq gaixam ni rendegod Irow blvors ytlo ent\n\n-oo bre Vittraerí vediam erit Tobianos eɔno da bluoria,aðnem\n\na to ouaet two rot tisw Vitolup bivorn bus,vievidstego-\n\nnoltaeup mi aexað end Joelloo of ateb a gattafogge noltsoltijon\n\nwar and of betudinistɓ noeď over dadd asoiton erit MÖî8767 HÅ\n\nwon era venit nedtam akɗt rid hw nottoemos ni aneiseb musiqo\n\nberehat\n\nmoon,\n\nrendered \"null and vold\", so as to place the responsibility on those hereafter appointed.

This decree as a matter of fact has remained a dead letter until now the dollar is proclaimed in the place of the Kuping Tael. The practical advantages of this change are obvious, but above all the ratio between the new coinage is fixed and we have the old normal ratio of one to one thousand, instead of such a cumbersome arrangement as something like 1482 copper cash as the equivalent of a Kuping tael.\n\nIt is perhaps too early to hazard a guess as to the speed and efficacy with which the promised reforms will be enforced, but at all events a step in the right direction has been taken and though China is not yet in a position to consider the question of adopting a gold standard, the fact that she may soon have one recognised standard of currency to replace the varying values in different provinces, should have a beneficial effect upon her commerce and lend stability to her financial and mercantile transactions.\n\nThe Right Honourable Sir Edward Grey, Bart, K.P., &C • • 80... &C. > I have etc., (sd.)

It is to be presumed that these sums were considered to be a fair remuneration to the officers concerned for the work done by each, as they were locally allotted with full knowledge of the duties to be performed, which duties, as far as the Harbour Master is concerned, never altered in any way or degree until January 1910, when the repatriation of foreign Chinese coolies finished. So far as I am aware, no complaints were ever made concerning the manner in which the duties were performed.\n\n7. From what I have already said it will be seen that the duties for which these allowances were paid were those required by the Transvaal Government, and were in addition to those required by the ordinary laws of this Colony. Section 214 of the Hongkong Emigration Ordinance (No. 13 of 1894) was specially passed, to allow of the special regulations desired by the Transvaal Government to be carried out, and that enactment is in force still.\n\n3. The allowances were paid from 4th April 1905 until 31st March 1909, during which period the Harbour Master dealt as above described with 23 ships, during 19 separate months. During the same period the Registrar General dealt with the repatriates arriving in 8 ships during 5 separate months. It follows, therefore, that, during the 39 months affected, the Registrar General received his allowance on account of thirty months during which he had no duties to perform, while the Harbour Master had no ships to inspect during but 17 of the 39 months.\n\nPage 69", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 426323, "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": "CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9]", "page_number": 105, "title": "CO129-368 - Acting Governor May - 1910 [8-9]", "content_text": "102\n\nDeagent go gyel a anisogni Juoridtw hemlata od trgia bao atɗe sadd r terol,droq glasnï o ni doldw to moitlaoqmoo erit abiswoj mulqo\n\nwd of di Joaqze ono bluco 98ie Jadw to .200 astudiıinoo muiqo\n\n、5% od ¤edadrebre end wh na Jadi gaieen troter edit aay bemoq#oo Tamigo evitan to bin don of revod sort ai anses Ils gatau at satdo -Luoqque arid oð quen vrey Qua:0 gfruotosmoor Burit yone[[eox &H)\n\nt\n\nr\n\n(Bпoon83Ü.umwel to evildoerger oft ot dug I e380 Bolt bluso :belas 1 nerim , ou rid fw nottem oft eswoaib od odrad of saw O But to Jr3q eft no deamber a niedupine of earter miæðinu Jaend\n\nto flats grovo nodes taweerjo Rusoy met ert sohtan10001 od xxSİ\n\nJart butaid nedt I (Itoa Gaonirfo mont budotberie need bari yayog isionenit 4 es eruesom evitotteet a tour os aus Jon say yvel add\n\nti neve 、gvai ed) to waitiloda na dad bades nga baS ,#1frfaedem\n\nshol a og DIMOV ,5so'rale ed ct barito inob bi I estur ut\n\nAw notdautie ent to tooges at (2 .200ft sued gatvorg w/%swod gay eredt jant Low Lowane vino aid has yoIfool aid of suo wen s\n\n&\n\n60.\n\nsir,\n\n8th August,\n\n1910.\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No.62 of the 2nd instant from which I observe that the acting Governor General of the Liang Kuang Provinces states that the system suggested last year by the Governor of Hongkong for suppressing the smuggling of opium into this Colony is exactly identical with that which the Canton Government is now proposing to put in force.\n\n2.

Bad characters would not venture to come here unless they had first obtained the protection of the Detectives.\n\n17.\n\nMr. Tong Lai-chin also expressed the opinion\n\nthat the Police must be aware of the presence of bad characters.\n\n18.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government told\n\nthe Committee that the former head of Scotland Yard, probably\n\nthe greatest Detective Organization in the world, had told him\n\nand had expressed the same view in articles he had written on\n\ncriminals and crime that in real life such stories as Dr. Conan\n\nDoyle wrote of marvellous feats of detection of crime by Sher-\n\nlock Holmes were a mere myth. In actual practice the greatest\n\ndetectives relied in the detection of crime on clues supplied\n\nby informants where the criminals had not left clues of their\n\ncrime behind them. The Police therefore must have the co-\n\noperation of the population. In European Countries and in Japan\n\nthey got it. In England every man's hand was against the male-\n\nfactor and if the residents in a street became aware of the\n\npresence of suspicious characters they at once, to protect\n\nthemselves, informed the Police.

I cannot see the bearing of this, which I can only regard as a piece of impertinence, on the matter. \n\nI quite agree with all this, but it is not always possible for either the Assistant Harbour Master or me to be always in the office. \n\nI do not know what this means. The Boarding Officers are not clerks, they are Master Mariners, and have nothing to do with ships' certificates of registry. The Junk Inspectors have nothing to do with either certificates of registry or with the ships themselves. They all have their particular work to do, and this keeps them at work from 6 a.m. till sunset. \n\nThe explanation given is the correct one. Every facility and encouragement is given to ships and Passage Brokers; and I think that this is proved by the fact that no complaints are forthcoming, when one takes into account the rivalry between firms, and the consequent, almost inevitable, allegations of favouritism, which should be expected. As a matter of fact, the ship which is sailing first gets the preference; otherwise precedence is arranged by mutual agreement between the rival brokers.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427439, "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": "CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11]", "page_number": 523, "title": "CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11]", "content_text": "Y.P.\n\nHis Excellency,\n\nEnclosure 4.\n\n521\n\n201\n\n052\n\n000 an tel soy ti mali ovaa Litw soy dadd Taengua\n\nairá to moltoibattut odt tooîte £12w dold\n\n.omod masíð baan s\n\n«zotammuab b .# (.53)\n\nI think I can best assist in dealing with\n\nthe difficult question which has arisen in consequence of my\n\njudgment in connexion with Shanghai companies by indicating\n\nbroadly the principles on which legislation should proceed, and\n\noffering a few general remarks. I hesitate to express an opinion on the Attorney-General's suggested alterations in the\n\nNew Companies Ordinance, as I could not do so without considering the whole of the somewhat bulky piece of legislation,\n\nwhich I have not time to undertake.\n\nThe principal difficulty of the question\n\narises from the fact that there are no special facilities given\n\nto the Shanghai Companies to register under the Hongkong law.\n\nIt is necessary to make this position perfectly clear at the\n\noutset. As I have indicated in my judgment, what may be called\n\n\"foreign companies\" may register under the Companies Act, and\n\nobtain the benefit of it, if they fulfil certain conditions: the\n\nprincipal being that the business, wherever its field of operation may be, should be \"carried on\" in England, or under the Hongkong Ordinance, in Hongkong. Companies formed in Shanghai come within this law, just as any other \"foreign company\". I leave the words \"carry on\" somewhat vague, because it has never been defined: but it is possible to indicate what it means; if the board of directors met in Hongkong that would be sufficient. The peculiarity of \"Shanghai companies\" is that they do not, nor is it very practical to suppose that they could, fulfil this condition. The only thing they do, and can do, is to have a technical \"registered Office\" here, and\n\nthis I have held to be insufficient. In the following remarks I use the term \"Shanghai Company\" as a generic name for companies which promoters desire to form in the Treaty Ports: and a \"Manila company\" as a convenient type of foreign company; this is practical as well as convenient, because companies trading in the Philippines are often formed and registered\n\nhere.\n\nIn", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-369 - Acting Governor May Governor Sir Lugard - 1910 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 427646, "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": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "page_number": 195, "title": "CO129-370 - Governor Sir Lugard & Public Offices - 1910 [12]", "content_text": "861\n\nnolfangstm gift bogod ban,botongretni novo aa? mundo todoʻqtožná\n\n973i neo (Idoormoo Jonghetat toa bidow retorquetak alde tars\n\nutotod nemrisorga add W‡TA .Jost at moltabnuet on me #1231f\n\ngotdeoga wode amY *at tot .~* to thoaodfoxo old mandatgen olis\n\nton blưna qnivblob .** od tad,oapočat 06 aaw sqlbion .** 0#\n\nars000 JI .9sitto aid to duo wiri horrent kaa kid banderobu\n\nLaottoang a to Tiedod no badluze or 203 02 nan ■ not aldizɛoqui\n\nmodungmodal bataovocatsib a as outros vieno aaw od ti\n\n\"ažojalo!\" one tot qo Jog #talvolta⠀ odT\n\nt TORKA”: JB\n\nodt nå oomobiva oz) mott jnabire al di¿Duofubuert now 0880\n\n-Idroq onoris qu dog tog 615 tientalq edo dadd moltoa yitentarha\n\n#\n\non bolas Bor .Y* .Alb omal das da $200 Tart tud\n\nMonski od oliv enas at: w Jog our woda or Sonskivo Toqunu\n\nQ/* * .ca ob od aernude vai eit galmeones tusioitwe Bwoma\n\nlar .* nad roddo *exel trentat & Joy arreglacigora rautinair.\n\ntod. paties to 4320asson and nav tachy B430 43 qe zon of\n\n* texwa! boog a of merit anubonin) of\n\n1st tad .*?!

He broke the condition of his leave as he did not send me any of his replies that day.\n\nHe was absent without leave the whole day on June the 2nd. When I reached the office in the morning I found on my table exhibit C. I sent the office coolie to Law's house to fetch him and in about an hour he returned saying that Law would not come. Law gave me his replies to my charges on June the 6th, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of June being holidays i.e. King's Birthday, Sunday and Whit Monday Bank Holiday.\n\n(sd.) C. G.

We estimated last year for a deficit of $298,937 (to be charged to surpluses on account of Typhoon Refuge) whereas we realised a surplus of $420,054 a gain of over seven lakhs. This gain is accounted for by the following items:-\n\nExcesses on\n\nVarious revenue heads.\n\nSavings on expenditure on\n\n \n 76,000\n establishments.\n \n \n 52,000\n Imperial Contribution.\n \n \n 134,000\n Land Sales.\n \n \n 170,000\n Stores credit.\n \n \n 288,000\n \n \n \n $720,000\n \n \n\nOur heavy liabilities are (a) the Typhoon Refuge which will be spread over a further period of four years and has an annual sum of (say) $95,000 from Light Dues, and the large surplus and is not therefore a charge against Revenue. (b) The Tytam Tuk Reservoir which will not require more than about 3 lakhs a year. (c) The Western Market, the new Magistracy and perhaps a Wireless Station. On the other hand the Law Courts and Government Offices, are off our hands already, and the completion of Castle Peak to Sha-tau-kok Road is provided for in this year's estimates and we may reasonably look for a satisfactory financial year, in view of the large surplus and conservative estimates in 1912.\n\nI therefore recommend the present vote to the Council and in doing so I also recommend proposal B, if the Secretary of State agrees, since it is urged by the two Unofficial gentlemen who at great expenditure of private time and thought have fully gone into the whole question, and is also recommended by the Director of Public Works.\n\nsd.\n\nF.

On my return to French territory I was told that my movements had been followed, as great interest had been excited and some perturbation caused by my presence, due to a rumour that I was commissioned by the Government of Hongkong to enquire into the opium cultivation in Indo-China and Yunnan. This information came to me from various independent sources, the grounds for such belief being:- 1. No other Englishman had made the journey without having some definite business reasons of health were considered a very feeble eI- -planation. 2. I was on a visit to the British Consul-General.\n\n3. I was known to be a Government servant and connected with the Imports and Exports Office. 4. It is probable there was something to conceal from the Hongkong Government.\n\nI am etc.,\n\n(Sd.)

He has now sent me another, and it is an entirely different one, so that in any circumstances the page would have been wrong and would have had to be reprinted. You will see from this what difficulties I have had to contend with.\n\nI shall be glad to have an answer as soon as it is convenient to my last letter containing a statement of what I am prepared to do to correct the slips which have occurred. Vol. III and the Index Volume will be ready to present to Council next Thursday, and also the two other volumes with the new pages inserted, if I have your answer in time.\n\nI have the honour to remind you that I have had no answer to my letter with regard to the payment due under the original agreement, and I must request that the cheque be handed to me by the Treasurer next Thursday. I have also the honour to request that the question of further remuneration be considered at as early a date as possible, as I have to make arrangements for leaving the Colony. I desire to give fuller information than is contained in the papers to the Council or Committee when the question is considered.\n\nHis Excellency\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government.\n\nI have etc.,\n\n(Signed) F.

Mr. Little, who had arrived in the Colony on the 6th May, 1904, resigned his appointment on account of private affairs on the 23rd February, 1907, and steps were taken to obtain a successor from England. Mr. Little however applied for re-appointment which was granted and he arrived back in the Colony on the 22nd September, 1907. He ultimately resigned his appointment on the 31st October, 1909, in order to start private practice in the Colony. Mr. Wright, who arrived in the Colony on the 15th July, 1903, continued with Mr. Fisher until the 7th October, 1908, when, in consequence of the constant complaints made by Mr. Fisher regarding him, I transferred him to the Buildings Ordinance Office in which a vacancy arose. I may add that I have found Mr. Wright a most efficient, conscientious and qualified officer and that he carries on the duties of the B.O. Office, of which he is now in charge,\n\nin a most satisfactory manner.\n\nI would point out that Mr. Fisher was absent on leave for 6 months during March to September, 1908, and that, during his absence, his two assistants (Messrs. Wright and Little) were able to carry on all the works under his charge in an efficient manner.\n\nI would further point out that, about the middle of 1907, Mr. Fisher voluntarily undertook to design and supervise, on behalf of the College of Medicine, a School of Anatomy. This was entirely outside his official duties.\n\nOn the 20th February, 1909, Mr. Fisher applied for additional assistance and I submitted his letter to Government with particulars of the works he had in hand. I stated that I thought that he and his Assistant (Mr. Little) should be able to overtake the work then in hand and I pointed out that he had voluntarily undertaken the design of the School of Anatomy, which he might have declined if he found his official duties so onerous as he represented. His application was refused by Government.\n\nOn the 14th April, 1909, Mr. Fisher addressed a", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 439847, "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": "CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12]", "page_number": 339, "title": "CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12]", "content_text": "PHOY DHOR\n\nTebno KOITAZALICES 2012 recitrosal Dus asol leteget eft\n\n0013 beulrqual otai sietins700c as ensod teris\n\nbne neo ¡etener erT\n\nTebau eban zi notatvo iq ALOH to Ice and to TOT\n\nret eonanÍJTÓ\n\nto notso30 .elf end vd GASKHW\n\n!! 9ozeikto 20032 beditoani\n\nVOD et doira lo eutsiz yd 10\n\nnsol mirat nenw atnest wor^ ACT retrodjus 18 3:00\n\nto trot aria aar.kexe? doua jedi stalost or sell toere ine mejah nore Jayooda nav bi anl otul ellistevnun ut I'\n\nA boulinZero sd yon sa chettiban bae caret Hove no OXLTαe C edt to speat ers to suit snu ja'atnost uword enj sol smo g00 und 10 ys to ils stalosh vent et bas\n\nad of 261videoen to wood2 to icl er i snitats redzeńw\n\nPRI TEBAR bewbal ec GJ spora pecivoeni otai elultiSVIGA\n\nsnt ealconfus yer bne eoncatt10 biwa end to enolat701q deoda cecfroen! 10 tauone ns roue to svaal bre koijsezo\n\nes qurol fowa col bied seirice gif 10% eynarere ki\n\nČas HoİJAGTO (1) CEÌtodiwe tær ozle has 18826000 9 VAM\n\nnicieт to sanctum si 101 jooth he frueni dose vae to elec 1.

The Commissioners of the various other Departments believed that they were all to be involved in the calamity which had overtaken their Chief. Nothing so drastic happened, but the Central Government did not neglect their opportunity and they have appointed to the province one or two officials, each of whom has had experience of service under the Imperial Government. Yen Chia-chih took up his post as Superintendent of Customs (Chien Tu) and was subsequently nominated to act as Treasurer pending the arrival of the substantive incumbent, Sung Shou-Ch'eng, a Cantonese Expectant Taotai from Sze-chuan. The post of Acting Superintendent has been offered to Ch'en Wang-tseng, sometime Prefect in Canton. Huang Jen-shou, who came to Canton some months ago as Salt Commissioner but was disapproved of by the local officialdom, not permitted to touch the Salt Revenue and finally surrendered the position, has been ordered by the Central Government to resume his post, while the Commissioner of Finance has been instructed to remit the salt revenue to Peking without further delay. Persistent rumours are circulated from time to time that Admiral Li is to obtain high naval appointment in the province, but considering his past record of dis-services to the Revolutionaries, they scarcely seem credible.\n\n## The position of Ch'en Chiungwing.\n\nThe people of Canton, having already had experience of Ch'en as a strong ruler, are delighted with his appointment as Tu Tu in these difficult times. The President's proposal to separate the Military and the Civil powers was also applauded by the large majority of Canton merchants. It did not, however, meet with Ch'en's approval. He informed the Central Government that he must refuse to accept the appointment until he was satisfied on three points:- \n\n1. that for at least ten months both civil and military powers", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-402 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [7-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 443921, "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": "CO129-402 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [7-8]", "page_number": 359, "title": "CO129-402 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [7-8]", "content_text": "#H to ooltto odd dadd .S :oonivong ant \nJyim rowoq vratilim odt on facit, berlætioda od biwow, lisamini \nVIRSOTT edt tadð .& IONTOVOÐ VIætlilm erit diiw vioritno mismot \nnok![lm ydnowd dikw dremtovor notneð and yiqqua blnow gnidet at \nal .atnad cross s no avaal oton ont boniq od ɗtiworedw staffob \n-neufint Istovor yd badroqqua ase an erottaluqite saoɗt qnidME \natmadorom nodumɔ and noqu boga oʻw, gaoxgnoll mi eaemidɔ Isi \nsaw goutgnaux to sontvorg odd se rat oa‚y‡iiidesitasıqrd ods \nInoang bỏ t Towoq vistiftm bna Ilvio gaitstaqea to, bertsonos \nmaterol of ytimixonq att ång guide¶ mort szomotomer att TO \nguldet gatze¶ to philldemizob orit oafs boyıs yard :VTOJİTESİ \nodt \"ILent\" .Boto\" co÷ned to ousal edt anteedrstam bns TOTO \nsklo-ogin no'ɗD Jedt maltrid taxit (baliqen tuamroved Isrtno) \nJaoupor ett galdnary yiɔɔnoong (solito qu edat ton vidsdorg blow \n\"ot noneet erit eonta, bodelloda od dirt♬ nunɔ 17 to taoq sɗt fadt \notal off to aroitas vistilim ni somatreqxeat odt, sonoteizo ati \nrottaeup erit tødt qalbha vibrids bus bedeixe Tegnol oa, ut ut \nJamm ji dud Yasor? ortot berrotor need barf svaal eto? arit to \nbirode ¬nudansvX vir ozwbo on asw eront dødt brim nå eriod od \nDont to qłoɔor mo .Jnentsort eldaruovat Isioeqa beb10908 að \nJard corent” to refutat“ odt mort ogsaɛom a to bas 8000ATUBE8 \nadd mnober of notnað ot tree oɗ bivo: setoë gaidot to ¿iqqua a* \n,\"tirodtus ea¿ísitaso of ɣlistaobloxi qlen has aeton Isvol \nfoot bra ondaloqqa orit tqeoos of behloob main-gavic na1ño \n.dta vint no soitto to a lees ont tovo \n\narea of their operations. Originally their rendezvous was in the \nhilly country of the P'an Yu District. From there they are able \nto keep in easy touch, travelling usually by water, with adher-\nents in Tseng Ch'eng, Pok Lo, Tung Koon and the Delta generally, \nand on the other side with Namhoi, Ko Tong and Fa Yun. Villages \nin these districts are constantly raided. On the night of May \n23rd about 200 of them plundered Hsi Ts'un, a village on the \nwestern outskirts of Canton and, although finally driven off by \nthe Police, took with them $3,000 worth of booty. It is \nbelieved that on this occasion their real object was to create \ntrouble in the City. A week later another band threatened the \nShih Ching Arsenal in the same neighbourhood and it was only on \nthe arrival of a ying of the Lu Chun that they retreated, \nplundering an adjacent village as they went. It is probable that \namong them there are many deserters from the Ching Wei Chun, who \nprefer their old profession of brigandage to the less lucrative \nand exciting one of soldiering.\n\nKongmoon and Kaochow are seats of chronic disturbance \nand each requires a small army for its tranquillization. Other \nincidents worth noting during the period under review include \nthe cleaning-out of half-a-dozen stations on the Chinese section \nof the Canton-Kowloon Railway, the robbery at the Rev. Mr. Bun-\nbury's College at Shek P'ai, where the booty was very dis-\nappointing, and the piracy of the French river steamer \"Robert \nLebaudy\" near Yung Kee in the Delta on June 5th.\n\nA phenomenon, which may prove more serious than the \nPo K'o Hui, because it appears to have political significance, \nis the advent of another society calling itself the Ch'ang Fa \nFai or Long Hair Society. It began to be noticed in the verna-\ncular Press at the end of June. Members carry badges bearing \nthe characters \"Pu Cheng T'ung Meng Hui\", signifying their \nintention to carry out the proper objects of the T'ung Meng Hui, \nas was not done by the representations of the Kuo Min Tang.

The contrary is the case. They have always been and still are most cordial. It is of course my business that they should be maintained on that footing both in peace and war.\n\nAt the same time it is right that you should know that some regrettable incidents have occurred, springing from a misconception on the part of many military officers in the Colony and of Major General Kelly himself as to the effect of the Order-in-Council of October 1896, concerning the interpretation of Clause 3(1) of which I have found it necessary to address the Secretary of State officially.\n\nAt first General Kelly and his merry men took the view that the Order-in-Council constituted a declaration of Martial Law, and the General himself wrote to me that under \"Martial Law\" I could fix the price of some barbed wire his Chief Engineer had bought without going through the formalities prescribed in the Order-in-Council. It was not till I sat down and wrote out a Memorandum explaining what is meant by Martial Law that the false position taken up was abandoned.

I do not deny that Mr. Kahl still holds his position as agent but I regard his firm at Canton as a \"fence\" for Siemssen & Co. to enable them to carry on their American and European business during the war. I have already reported to His Majesty's Minister at Peking that I have excluded the name of A. J. Kahl from the White List and placed it on the Black List.\n\nThe goods to which reference is made in the letter of October 13th from the United States Consul-General at Hongkong were returned here and Messrs. Siemssen & Co. experienced considerable difficulties with the native dealers in connection therewith, as the latter had not received payment and regarded Siemssen & Co. as the actual buyers. I understand that a settlement has now been effected and the Chinese Maritime Customs have granted a rebate of import duty and a drawback on re-exportation of these goods. The settlement with the native dealers and the negotiations with the Customs were conducted by Siemssen & Co.\n\nOn August 26th last the Japanese Consul-General informed me confidentially in conversation that the local manager of Siemssen & Co. had approached the Bank of Taiwan to negotiate bills drawn by Kahl. The bank manager demurred as he did not know this name, whereupon Mr. Lund admitted that Kahl was only a cover for Siemssen & Co. who would accept full responsibility and guarantee payment of all such bills.

W. & Co. to deal in their goods under their old trade marks.\n\nThe London firm Sander Pether & Co. who are registered as British do not seem to realise the situation and it would appear from their letters that they are under the impression the war makes no difference and their China associates will be able to carry on \"business as usual\".\n\nIt is uncertain whether Mr Backhouse will work for S. W. & Co. or on his own account.\n\nIf the latter, it will probably be with (nominally) Chinese capital, which may really come from the old German firm. Siemssen & Co. had considerable stocks on hand which are now being cleared off. So far as Hongkong is concerned, the firm may be to the bad as it is understood they have considerable overdrafts at one or two of the local Banks.\n\nMr. J. Manners, who signed \"per procuration\" for Biemssen & Co. at the outbreak of the war, is a British born subject having gone to Germany as a child. He came out to Hongkong and is reported to be very pro-German.\n\nHe was granted a license to take over some Insurance Agencies formerly held by Siemssen's. Recently the Hongkong Government has issued him a full license as it was stated he was not working with his old firm, Mr Manners is represented in Canton by a Mr. Hector a British subject, who formerly had a desk in Siemssen & Co's office.\n\nSiemssen & Co. in Canton have changed their name to \"KAHL\" and are now registered in the American Consulate as an American firm.

Here again the British Shipping Company even without such Certificate, can be trusted not to accept the cargo.\n\nIn my experience doubtful cargo is certain to be exported and imported in either neutral or sometimes allied vessels and to the best of my recollection no case of witnessing either a Customs Certificate of Importation (inwards) or a Declaration of ultimate destination (outwards) in connection with any such vessel has come before me.\n\nI have ventured to set forth at some length the difficulties and anomalies created here in practice by Your Excellency's Ordinance No. 32 of 1915, in order that the latter, if unnecessary, may be obviated and the former be met in any way in which I can assist with the small staff at my disposal.\n\nI have, etc.\n\n**(SD.)

Then I entered his room he was standing at his chest-of-drawers, and appeared to be in his usual way.

The exact significance of the acquisition of land in the British concession at Hankow is not understood. The holding of such land by a company would apparently tend to strengthen the hold of the British authorities over the company, but there may be countervailing objections which are not known to me. It is believed that the company referred to in this paragraph is the Hoong On Steamship Company Limited.\n\n5.\n\nThe other case is that of J. A. Wattie & Co., Ltd.\n\nIt stated in the correspondence above referred to that this company were \"endeavouring to repudiate the status of a China company and the obligations it entails\", relying on the fact that the articles of association vested the control of the company in the board of directors in London. Here again it does not appear in the correspondence how the control failed.\n\n6.\n\nNo doubt there were good reasons for amending the law, but as I am ignorant of those reasons I am unable to discuss them.\n\nAll that I can do at present is to point out certain other difficulties to which the new Order-in-Council has given rise, and to put forward certain possible objections to the new legislation.\n\n7.\n\nSeveral companies registered here have branches at Shanghai. They are therefore Hongkong China Companies. Some of them, though mainly Chinese in character throughout, appear to be genuine Hongkong enterprises. An instance is the Sincere Company Limited. The Shanghai Manager must necessarily have a large amount of discretion and control. Possibly this company does not come within the terms of the 1919 Order-in-Council, because the business at Shanghai can hardly be said to be the business of the company, though it may be an important part", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-461 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 483957, "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": "CO129-461 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [5-7]", "page_number": 310, "title": "CO129-461 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [5-7]", "content_text": "203\n\nisdgred2\n\n‚OSEI „NOTE ̈ ̄ . . . . . .\n\n.*[¤IlionuoƆ ni rebrƆ Jnentnoma (ssineqro0) amido\n\nbae\n\n,bel (said☺) ymsemo0 0008ɗoT 180179? daiðina edT\n\nquoy,exnaris ridiw,gybeiwonade of zvonod erit avad I\n\nVraypot erods odd to listed no ne‡‡İTW JaBJBNL NJSI ad♬ to 19JİSİ\n\nand to,amido ni Isvits 8'nezdorado Tundra xI2 To em nimo tai ent to breide of (se-tuoy bas nosedɔd woosi▼ to Jisiv seinegro) 19dizut a yð„dadd morqee♫,1ll of abam nedt enoitsaqUG JRATE OF 19Woq navig od Jişir rateini\\ ‚M „H‚fiɔmwoƆ ni təbr0 arsyenal daitırƐ-nom volume of 'asinsqmoƆ anid)' of someɔil .anoitibnoo nistreo ratau bas „ssonetamvorio Istoaqo zabnu deidint edd noide asitlusitlib sdt gaisingoser slid▼\n\n-iaud Tied to studen and to waiv ai,aved .00 ooosdor meditSKÅ ni Tek10 add to anoisivong edt d‡iw gniy[gros ai,enidƆ ni seen yo ni Jeds voy of duo Jaloq of ydub je mi ti ‚e[(1 To fiozwod -ivong adi ddiw sone; Iqros-mon smiððimteq noidenetle yas „noiniqo\n\nvidetivsai bijow (ynaqroƆ anir eno to see end ni neYA BRDİK belboome need over doide ebrejetes sild ytojæjum 19bпst of bæsj -noo [ulates to a18gy rajte nwarb „Ironso0 mi 1sLiù ven ed♪ NË -eigst seineqmo) Jedt stør: nsed sad aciBivotq ydetsim,noijstabia [[ere moito torq bas noitimoos7 deiðina gaiyojas snido ni berot „Irene, anem deititä 19bau sredi ed Joel ni\n\ner add gnidnide ai am ddiw eestis odeɔ^vbå пworƆ ENT\n\n(F-\n\ned to metiedo as mentiɔrudo tudita xi3 to jasatrioqqs batesUS eið sást Jormco ed ti nove eniro ni yneqrob zuoy to breod eled od qede saim a ad blow,erent sonsbiner das 1807190 .I.onrob at To£10 wen add to ♪ elɔitnh dàiw soni(qmos atsibormi geda and to waiv ni jedt coastunes Isdrev yr Josqer I\n\n(Bnido) .00 oñoadof asoite: A-daitira odt to Jneraganer edt doiche anino end to anoirivorc add ddiw motnos of guidet ere .bjj\n\n.TIARC\n\n.pel „ddenne. „A.\n\n.EJI (em).03 ossadoT nssinemA-daijina\n\n306\n\n(Companies) Amendment Order in Council 1919, and while those steps are diligently prosecuted, there is no intention on my part of instituting, without due notice, legal proceedings against the Company under that new Order in Council.\n\nI am, Sir,\n\nYour obedient servant,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-461 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 484246, "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": "CO129-462 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [7-10]", "page_number": 108, "title": "CO129-462 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [7-10]", "content_text": "CA \n\n3.

Ltd. were made, it should be by way of an Order-in-Council frankly exempting that Company from the restrictions of the 1919 Order.\n\nEven if the proposed transfer of control to Hongkong, and of the Company to the Hongkong Register, cannot be arranged, the reasons which have led me to advise against the giving of a power to H.M. Minister to grant licences of exemption from the provisions of Articles 3 and 4 of the new Order-in-Council of 1919 hold good and may be re-stated as follows:-\n\n1. The transfer of all China Companies heretofore under non-British control to British control has been practically completed (the only outstanding case of any importance being that of the British American Tobacco Co., Ltd.).\n\n2. If licences allowing non-British management of China Companies were under any circumstances obtainable, a most invidious and difficult task would be set H.M. Minister, and the Registrar and also the Crown Advocate as his technical adviser in such matters.\n\n3. If such licences were obtainable, the force and effect of salutary provisions, the need of which has been felt for years, would be seriously weakened.\n\n4.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-462 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [7-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 484265, "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": "CO129-462 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [7-10]", "page_number": 127, "title": "CO129-462 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [7-10]", "content_text": "We have the honour to be,\n\nsir,\n\nYour Most Obedient & Humble Servants,\n\nHoward-Basinige Surveyor.\n\nJanes & Agroch black Glas\n\nDaved of Brown Road Emenser\n\nEleuf ol fpe fewbolsth mel poune\n\nPage 113\n\nIt appears that the original text was heavily distorted due to OCR errors.

These people would be left to be dealt with exactly as at present: by detective enquiries leading to Police Court prosecution wherever possible: or where evidence for the Court might be lacking but the case in the opinion of the Governor in Council justified such action, by banishment. The records of the Colony show that the campaign against traffickers along these lines is actively carried on: and they show also a constant strengthening of the law, generally on the advice of the Chinese.\n\nThe attitude often taken up by foreigners on this question seems to ignore the efforts of the Chinese themselves in Hong Kong and indeed would almost seem to deny them the possession of any proper sympathy or initiative. The institution known as the Po Leung Kuk is evidence to the contrary; and it is difficult to see what better means there are at present of finding a solution for the difficulty. The Kuk is managed and financed by voluntary annual Committees of Chinese, there being in addition a permanent Committee, called when necessary, of the most prominent and public-spirited residents of the Colony. All of them have served on the Annual Committee, and on other charitable Committees as well. The Kuk itself is the Girls' Home and in it are kept cases under consideration: special ordinance gives the necessary powers: but very many cases are dealt... \n\n:7829 003 ad biwow noisavc squssed (ia) traila aqadireg nevs 10 ydtaqmıya vilduq xosi bluow îna od dimette avoiros yas dedd anoiteluged ant yd.

This explanation has been coupled with an allegation, unsupported by any evidence, that British firms have acted in a similar manner; but I have no reason to suppose that the charge contains any truth.\n\nI have, &c., (Sd.)

The total Imports were £68,143,059, a decrease of £35,789,563, or 34.4 per cent., and Exports showed a decrease of £40,678,060 or 37.5 per cent.\n\nTreasure movements were as follows:\n\n \n \n Imports\n Exports\n Total\n \n \n 1921\n £13,797,095\n £17,981,357\n £31,778,452\n \n \n 1920\n £31,754,331\n £45,292,645\n £77,046,976\n \n\nMr. N. L. Smith, Superintendent of Imports and Exports, says in his introductory note: - The apparent decrease in the Imports is entirely due to the lower rate of exchange used in the conversion of local currency into sterling. The actual dollar figures show an increase of over $40,000,000.\n\n \n Unit of Quantity\n 1920\n 1921\n \n \n Pieces\n 1,723,205\n 1,326,689\n \n \n Impl.

British tonnage has increased by about one million tons and foreign by about one and a half million tons, the balance is due to an increase in the junk trade. American tonnage declined by approximately 100,000 tons and Russian by 50,000 tons, but Japanese and Dutch tonnage made up the increase in the total.\n\nTHE YARN MARKET.\n\nEFFECT OF THE STRIKE.\n\nMessrs. Polishwalla and Kotwall, cotton and yarn brokers, of Hongkong, in their latest circular state: - Since our last report on January 31st the prolonged seamen's strike during this long period had paralysed the entire business, so our yarn market also remained extremely dull and small lots have changed hands for urgent requirements at a decline of $3 to $7 per bale, with business resulting in about 4,000 bales.\n\n \n Unit of Quantity\n 1920\n 1921\n \n \n Piculs\n 1,018,250\n 1,089,393\n \n \n Impl.

This has further affected our market, which has been very inactive.\n\nAs the seamen strike is now entirely settled and business is assuming the normal aspect, we have every hope of a good inquiry from consuming districts from Yunnan Province which is sure to give an impulse to the present depressed state of our market. Unsold stock 2,600 bales; Bargains in Chinese hands 8,000 bales.\n\nShanghai. - The eagerness of the Foreign holders to part with their stocks, which are rather heavy, at lower rates, have prompted Chinese buyers to fill up their immediate requirements and the latest reports show a tendency towards continued inquiry from surrounding countries.\n\nJapanese Yarn. - Owing to a substantial drop in the prices of this yarn in Japan, there has been a fall of $7 to $9 per bale at our place and the uncertainty of the condition of the market in Japan is causing buyers from making further bargains in spot or forward deliveries.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492145, "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": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 75, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "(M-60 mi posney Fl\n\nmeegov\n\nI HAVE 20\n\nJuods m sme sic grivew asw\n\ntelefaxta yor beriut I 'mom e deria sed ed.\n\n1001J2\n\nart pl ferici bre,tuc bearut yletrikom) tecmis\n\nmom zic unta ert oant me mid was I ,ameniro sɗd to sessio\n\nConleges trek aloneta yilinebi I .decad# eds to god adð da\n\nedd uncon and Badozer 1 medit .cam dedd aa (drvod mi rokmit\n\nJealous Mida antiarumda nam „dtoebreħob ał odw jesenido\n\nSETAPAK ml teaserb new el .mte diel a1‡nsbasteb berten\n\nsew drobno790\n\n„Jed on bad ed iznidsole xoaid to\n\n„syst9 edit no erusolone neboow add of\n\n.X X .ON\n\nMOSIE H (.be)\n\n.ffeebnij\n\nA\n\n(.ba)\n\n.9\n\nend to mojang ma 1\" T: HOME FALLON DIVAT\n\nerit voel vettes Bow ↑ Jaef „0269 Crauided no .*.* 89.II JA\n\na bochten I „Jual union sew I .etaufa audēji hann stærs\n\n2.0 tdidz? een I .er to dnozi ni juut dusk zalog anadolu\n\nemli edt je nofjisoo ym dreaptqet od #Boto a dižu JI STAR I\n\nBr.

There is much to be said in favour of the Siamese point of view, though their case would be stronger if they used their system as they might do, for the recovery and destruction of dross. On the contrary, the Government makes no attempt to recover dross, but derives considerable revenue indirectly from its sale. For the keeper of the smoking shop is only permitted to sell chandu at the price at which he buys it from Government, and has to rely for his profit on the sale of the dross which he retails for consumption on or off the premises at Tcs 10 per beel (as compared with Tcs 15 per oban or 1 ticel = 171⁄2). The residue after dross is made fetches Tcs 2.50 a tola and is used apparently for eating or mixing with drinks.\n\nThis right to sell dross is of course a valuable asset to the keeper of the shop, and the licences which are put up to auction from time to time accordingly bring in a considerable revenue to Government.\n\nIncidentally, the higher price which the home smoker pays for his chandu may be taken, in part at least, as corresponding to the licence fee paid by the smoking shop.\n\nIt will be seen from the enclosed print that it is the declared intention of the Siamese Government to introduce a complete system of registration of smokers at some future date. In the meantime, they exploit the situation for political purposes by calling attention to the difficulties which extraterritoriality places in the way of the enforcement of their opium law, and by explaining that they cannot dispense with any large part of their opium revenue until certain foreign powers release them from treaty obligations under which general import duties cannot be increased.\n\n9.\n\nThe policy of the Dutch East Indies is set out in", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-479 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 494640, "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": "CO129-479 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [1-3]", "page_number": 185, "title": "CO129-479 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [1-3]", "content_text": "181\n\nEN THO SI OCATURMOD\n\n182\n\n1\n\n.SSRI „re dumtoaⱭ 1481\n\nTie\n\nG.\n\nto jg lever adi #gbeIwoníos of zoned adź ovad 1 zedjegod „Jasinad,haS edit ne bajab,SSRI\\TOD, all wettal twoy sham inialgnoo sit yalawadeo ajasawab susu Ye seiquo film naco beà x■ nadi „guali wedƐ gaol,næet ast prol,asunek yð yenom to impreme aladmo's gakiovenez Ye možžmojai edi dile val erd dikw paibrosos,ef in) es besseng at mbyo at bing yodið Jació arobargmoŭ est to godo ze [aeu odi do kưw uk Joastweo a to nariad , bez 19ta nam stalpendo vidi to grizsed atmaaknob Jadi vettai moy ni stažu us?

There is no central Government in China,\n\nand it is not known whether any effective central Government\n\nwill again be established in China, and if so, what its\n\nrelations with the eighteen provinces will be. Under such\n\ncircumstances my own opinion is that His Majesty's Government\n\nwould be wise to retain an entirely free hand and not to pledge\n\nitself to any permanent scheme in China.\n\n6.\n\nI have already put forward the only two schemes\n\nfor the benefit of Anglo-Chinese interests which appear to\n\nme to be practicable at the present time, namely the construction of the junction line at Canton between the Kowloon-Canton\n\nand the Canton Hankow railways, and the scheme for developing\n\nthe Hong Kong University.

At about 12.45, while waiting for the train at Taipo Market,I received an urgent telephone call from the D.S.P.(K), who informed me that the Surreys would not enter C.T.,but,that,if I had reason to believe that the captured crew were at Sham Chun Railway Station en route for Canton, I was to use my own judgement as to whether or not I should take my police detachment across the frontier and endeavour to rescue them, the Surreys to land whatever covering support might be necessary. En route to Lowu I discussed possible measures with the Acting D.O.N.T., Mr.Williams, Mr.A.M.Wood and Major Drake,the latter stipulating that nothing be done until after the Surreys had taken up position.\n\n6.\n\nAt Lowu I was met by S.I.Hoare,who reported that he had been", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 503341, "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": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "page_number": 416, "title": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "content_text": "413\n\nslode add Insaarqet toruso yrkis de froMTISYO Lijoost of yruud on al al hus(şyed bas qyžimamo) esent:\" yager of belžične sa nodnso al tasserzovoð langiðal edt ,reddam aliò dile gnilaab ni entɗd to elodie art pla edt osingover of busiga begildo svad ow dadi yniosu To jneneIttes [aool a exam (low aðłup nao av «adost owt yrożynoĦ=notasð náð .*.) „diebloei dd05 yall add to traq ♫tiw anoitafer ofmonove wo to somatovos odd joXITJE „ybegani sexaṁ edt bra bra İzni İrsİTOQMİ YTSv a dółw bensì era ev tionenĮ JA\n\n1 owd avoda erit to moldingooaz a'briefgefi neol .midusu nottaitogen deiðits-oniƐ erið to zalnego edi bas atoal z0 friðlzoq add to galbandarabas réguoradit a mort outta wo goed deurs O Tinelbeque yramqued a yierem ji si eza umoldaldoen altıbw pawa noltɔammoo sind at anololqawa Deanenggo seld Farið au Frigund sad prodali 201 .no gnicy stoananyo Tładź to sgatab edð 10 ayarla oʻzawed bluoría BTS #brow moldoa yď bovíos ad pino nao moitssup siɗff facoltos yd bevio's ed of moldasup and si woĦ .usolosu Valged beta antide rol yıasasoan yímo si dİ !ylinas otkup serit art of sredba IIiw podd dadd voda od pllaoldownq Das noitattogen edt twodywould es[qkoaktī LanolðarráðnÏ fasiqłontu sević adó eza taril .gporn ad libw #idd anin isend Jon Jam basis at Jacht zyðilaupi (1) .beterproo et abzawod aevaleď rotolv erit as riddɔ ab-zawod ¿qoba [[he braiyot si dadd pooldaut (S) vý bluow as voltaut to ssiqłoning eman við multoly Tomnialized ad of beiseqqad ode amidoły od bebros01 ¿seomadeworło to synario edź diłw soxabrosos nI (8) to sonetsime edt haelg for bipoda bralymï si Jadi of eff eldame of blo arsey 08 madi erom selfasti „Jlleneď sees of to y‡ilidlamoqası abava Jadi anolitos toɗf yo wode at all:t basĺzn€ 11 venkte no Cetantrag wcft roda ut quia efe\n\nnegotiation, the Chinese are bound to feel suspicions regard- ing two points:-\n\n(1) England intends to continue her policy of \"one step backward, but two steps forward\", which her Imperialists have been accustomed to adopt, and will give some concession in order to secure a settlement of the Canton-Hongkong Strike, the severance of economic relations and the Shakee tragedy, but in other questions she will go further to oppress China.\n\n(2) England will avail herself of the present opportunity afforded by the expedition which Canton is sending to punish Tu (Pei-fu), temporarily to make a settlement of the Canton-Hongkong Strike, the severance of economic relations and the Shakee tragedy, in the hope that in the first place she may divert the people of Kwong Tung from the anti-Wu policy, on which they are concentrating their attention; and in the second place the temporary settlement may enable her to help the reactionaries to take the opportunity to make trouble in the rear of the Revolutionary Army.\n\nAt present the Cantonese are no longer like what they were before. Not only they take constant interest in the politics of the world and the National Revolution in China, but also they have realized how revolution can be accomplished and how emancipation can be secured. There have been many in- stances which will prove this, and the Great Conference held by the Cantonese a few days ago on account of the Sino-British negotiations is the latest proof that has been afforded us. We can say for certain that the Cantonese have been baptized into revolution, and are no longer as they were formerly.\n\nWe are only hoping for one thing, and this is that England will lose no time to show by facts that she will adhere throughout the negotiations to the basic principles mentioned above, viz, Equality, Justice and Accordance with the change of circumstances.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 504129, "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": "CO129-494 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [9-10]", "page_number": 625, "title": "CO129-494 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [9-10]", "content_text": "It appears that the input text is a jumbled and corrupted version of a historical document, likely due to OCR (Optical Character Recognition) errors.

What success Russia has achieved she owes entirely to China's internal feuds and to the paralysis of her central administration. Were a strong central Government, no matter of what political complexion, in power at Peking it is scarcely conceivable that Russian methods and intrigues would be tolerated. Student organisations would not be permitted to incite Chinese mobs to violence, nor would Communist demagogues escape exemplary punishment if they endeavoured to stir up industrial strife. But with the Chinese provinces hopelessly misgoverned, with rival generals struggling for supremacy, with treachery and suspicion in every camp, with the endless imposition of taxes to provide funds not for public utilities but for the maintenance of the provincial armies, and with railways and communications deteriorating and commerce decaying, the Russians have had ample opportunity to aggravate national discontent, to create diversions and exploit them in her own interests, and to take advantage of the fluctuating issues in the Chinese civil wars.\n\nThis policy she will doubtless continue to follow as long as brigandage and anarchy prevail in China, and until the provinces are subservient not to the whims and caprices of provincial governors and commanders but to a strong central executive we must always be prepared for further trouble at the treaty ports.\n\nRussia's primary objective is not the establishment of a Communistic social order in China, but the", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-497 - Public Offices - 1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506015, "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": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 28, "title": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "# No text to proofread\n\nThe provided text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and words that do not form coherent sentences or paragraphs.

Uniforms and Clothing Allowance.-Firemen and boiler fitters asked to be supplied with uniform or overalls. We consider, however, that the request is impracticable, and the issue of such clothing does not appear to be customary in other parts of the world. Some workers complained that they had to work in the open but were not supplied with rain coats. We consider that where Heads of Departments are satisfied that rain coats or capes are necessary they should be provided.\n\n33. Petitions. Certain complaints were made that petitions could not be made direct to the Head of the Department. We understand that this is not now the case. Care should be taken by Heads of all Departments to see that all workmen are informed that petitions may be sent to the Head of the Works concerned (vide paragraph 15 of Sessional Paper XXXV.—1925). A similar procedure should be followed in all Departments.\n\n34. General Recommendations for Railway Department.--In general we recommend that for all daily and hourly paid employees in the Railway Department any recommendations not specially touched on in this Report but made in Sessional Paper XXXV.-1925 and sanctioned by Government be adopted.\n\n35. Increases to be made Retrospective.-As the increase of 20 per cent. has been paid from October 1, 1925, to daily paid workmen in Colombo working under Factory Conditions and as owing to the number of memorials received the investigations by the Sub-Committee have occupied several months, we recommend that any increases granted to employees dealt with in this Report may be made retrospective as from October 1, 1925.\n\n36. Various minor items of complaints, such as better sleeping accommodation in out-stations, overtime to be paid at the same time as the monthly pay instead of being paid the following month, coconut oil lamps instead of the present kerosine oil lamps when required to work in the fire-box, &c., were brought to our notice during the course of the Sub-Committee inquiry and were noted by Heads of Departments or Sub-Departments who were present to be dealt with departmentally. A charge of demanding gratuities from employees was made against a minor official in one Department. It was investigated by the Head of the Department concerned and reported to be without foundation.\n\n37. The Sub-Committee desire to record their appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. A. H. Morgan, the Secretary, in connection with their investigations and in the drafting of the Report.

He believes, therefore, that the best way of guarding against the danger apprehended by the Government of the Federated Malay States is not to raise the question at all in the first instance with the Chinese Government but to act on the assumption that, as a matter of course, the Chinese Consul at Kuala Lumpur will regulate his activities in accordance with the ordinary rules of international law. Should he fail to do so the matter should be dealt with through the ordinary diplomatic channel, and in particular any pretension to interfere on behalf of British subjects of Chinese race should be firmly resisted.\n\nI am therefore to suggest for Lord Passfield's consideration that the last sentence of paragraph 4 of the draft in question might be amended in the sense of the draft enclosed herewith.\n\n5.

McFarlane referred to a list of names of young women who had come out of college and said there did not seem much possibility of their getting posts. He thought they might replace some of the married teachers. 'Some of the married teachers have husbands who hold good positions,' he said, 'and I do not think it is fair to girls who have come out of college and have been on the list for some time.'\n\nThe Chairman, Councillor John Mason, suggested the matter might be referred to the staffing sub-committee. There were great complications involved, and they must give careful thought before deciding upon anything.\n\nCouncillor McFarlane said he was agreeable to this course, which was adopted.\n\nWe ourselves would like to think and say if a body of women systematically applied this kind of means test to all men's employment.\n\nIt is reported that the question of the employment of married women on the staff of the B.B.C. has recently been raised again to the consternation, so it is said, of the hundreds of secretaries and stenographers at Broadcasting House.\n\nMarried women have always been employed by the Corporation and its predecessor, the old Broadcasting Company, and many of them have married during their service. It is absurd that this question should be settled on any other ground than that of efficiency.\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nTHE VOTE\n\nBRANCH NOTES\n\nWomen's Freedom League\n\nBARNSBURY AND DISTRICT\n\nOffices: 144, HIGH HOLBORN, W.C.1.

I wish, however, to draw your careful attention to the fact that actually it is not the Japanese army which is endangering British interests in Shanghai but the illegal Chinese attack upon the settlement, and that the recent Japanese military operations were not in retaliation for the killing of two members of the landing party, but consisted merely in defensive measures, for the purpose of self-defence, on the part of the small Japanese squadron and landing party in order to protect the 30,000 Japanese residents from attack by Chinese forces, which disregarding the armistice agreement of May, 1932, had invaded the neighbourhood of the Japanese residential district.\n\nYou stated further that, according to information which had reached His Majesty's Government, the Chinese reinforcements were carried out as the result of Japan having \n\nJ.L.

Tamsul \n\nSeptember 3rd, 1937. \n\nSir, \n\nIn my despatch No. 60 of the 1st September, I had the honour to refer to the large number of Japanese subjects, mostly Formosans, who had been evacuated from Amoy to Formosa. A still larger problem, which has come into prominence recently, is the evacuation of the Chinese residents in Formosa who at the close of 1936 numbered some 59,000. \n\nUnlike the Chinese, who were some weeks ago evacuated from Japan Proper, these Chinese can scarcely be regarded as an alien element in the population, since in race, language, dress and style of living they are indistinguishable from the Formosans, who constitute 91 per cent of the population of the island. They mix indiscriminately with them; there is a large amount of intermarriage, and the difference is in many cases a matter of legal status only. Even in political sympathies, the dividing line is indeterminate, since there are some Chinese who, after being despoiled by rival war-lords in their native land, have come here and prospered, while on the other hand, despite all official protestations of unity of sentiment, the authorities show by their behaviour that there are many Formosans whom they suspect of being Chinese in sympathy. \n\nThe official Japanese attitude has therefore been that Chinese citizens of good character were free to remain in Formosa, and follow their callings, with nothing to fear so long as they did not meddle in politics; and certain police authorities have found pleasure \n\nJ.

I have referred in a separate despatch (No. 660 of the 5th October) to a difference of opinion between the Prime Minister and the Privy Council in regard to the Government's action in promulgating, without prior reference to that body, an Imperial Ordinance giving increased authority to the Prime Minister in connexion with the enforcement of the National General Mobilisation Law. The possibility of difficulties in connexion with this matter has for the time being disappeared, but there are several important projects under consideration by the Government which will require to be submitted to the Privy Council, and it is to be feared that the slight which some at least of the members consider has been put upon the Council by the Government's action in this respect will tell against the Prime Minister and his colleagues in any future dealings they may have with it.\n\n## 7. \nMoreover, this is not the only matter in regard to which the Government has already experienced, or is experiencing, difficulty. As your Lordship is aware, General Abe, with a view to effecting a reduction in the membership of his Cabinet, decided in certain cases to combine two Departments under a single Minister, and in pursuance of this arrangement Admiral Godo assumed the two portfolios of Agriculture and Forestry and Commerce and Industry. There was at the time some scepticism as to the wisdom of this course, as there has in the past been much friction between the two Departments, which were formed some years ago out of the former Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Scepticism has already proved to be well founded, for serious differences of opinion have arisen in regard to the policy to be followed in certain matters by the Departments concerned, and Admiral Godo is being vigorously attacked by many important agricultural organisations on the ground that he has shown greater favour to schemes put forward by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry than to those put forward by the other Department over which he presides. Admiral, who has previously held office as Minister of Commerce and Industry and has for some years been intimately connected with many important industrial undertakings, has stated that he is determined to retain both portfolios or to resign. But there is a strong feeling that he is not properly qualified to serve as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, and a movement is on foot to force the Prime Minister to relieve him of his additional post and to appoint to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry a separate Minister, who will see that the requirements of that Department will receive adequate consideration. The outcome of the dispute is still uncertain, but the position is an embarrassing one for the Prime Minister.\n\n## 8. \nThere is, further, a prospect of serious friction in connexion with the proposal to establish a new Ministry of Trade, to which General Abe referred in his address to the prefectural Governors. This project is a legacy from previous Cabinets, though the matter has been shelved from time to time and was practically in abeyance at the time when Baron Hiranuma resigned. It has since, however, been revived, and, the Cabinet having approved in principle, a scheme was recently drawn up by the Planning Board. It calls, according to press reports, for the merger in one Department, and, either in whole or in part, of a number of Bureaux belonging to the Ministries of Finance, Commerce and Industry, Agriculture and Forestry, Foreign Affairs and Overseas Affairs. But there has been considerable difficulty in drawing a clear line of demarcation between production and trade, and in defining the scope of jurisdiction as regards, for example, diplomacy and commerce. Moreover, it has been found difficult to reconcile the rival claims of the various Departments concerned, whose jurisdiction over certain matters is traditional. In fact, the problem presents many difficulties, and though it has now been announced that the Cabinet has agreed to adopt the scheme put forward by the Planning Board, it is certain that the necessary arrangements for putting it into effect cannot be made without further friction. There is, for example, such strong opposition to the scheme in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs that the Director of the Commercial Bureau, the greater part of which it is proposed to transfer to the new Ministry, has tendered his resignation, while many of his staff are threatening to do the same. I shall not fail to report further in regard to this matter in due course; but, meanwhile, it is unfortunate that Admiral Nomura should have been faced so soon after his appointment with a departmental dispute of this nature, and much may depend on the manner in which it is handled.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(For the Ambassador), J. L. Dodds.\n\n3 \n\n## Enclosure 1.\n\nSummary (taken from press reports) of an Address delivered by the Prime Minister at a Conference of Prefectural Governors on October 2, 1939.\n\nJAPAN at present has great problems to surmount before attaining its national objectives; but she is equal to the task and the Government is determined to cope with the present emergency. Discarding the spirit of liberalism and individualism, officials and people alike must be united: and the Government desires your understanding and co-operation in the urgent problems of the day. The international situation is complicated and delicate, and it is the duty of the Government to secure Japan's position on an independent basis and thereby increase her national prestige. The conclusion of the China incident, and the creation of a new order in East Asia, are the most pressing problems confronting the nation to-day, and it is necessary for the Government to concentrate its efforts upon the attainment of these objectives. The fundamental policy for dealing with the China incident has already been fixed, and there can be no change therein. Changes of Cabinet make no difference. The power of the anti-Japanese régime is gradually declining, and a new Central Government will shortly be established. The Government will assist in its establishment and co-operate with it with a view to furthering a settlement of the \"incident.\" However, the incident will not end with the establishment of a new Government or with the collapse of the anti-Japanese régime. What Japan desires is not only the restoration of peace, but also the construction of a new order in East Asia by means of unity between Japan and Manchukuo and a new relationship between Japan and China. Her principal object is to ensure the lasting stability of East Asia.\n\nThe Government has stated its intention to avoid being involved in the European war and its determination to improve the situation in the Far East. This, however, does not mean that Japan will stand aloof from the rest of the world; she is ready to co-operate with those countries which understand her position in East Asia; but she is determined to deal resolutely with those which are not prepared to understand Japan's true intention. It is necessary to watch the attitude of the Powers in order to prevent anything that will obstruct the construction of a new order in East Asia, and at the same time to replenish armaments and cultivate Japan's national strength. The economic structure of the country must also be strengthened, so that it is imperative to expedite the materialisation of the Government's programme for increasing production and establishing a comprehensive economic scheme for Japan, Manchukuo and China. With this end in view, the Government is planning to create a Ministry of Trade and to strengthen other trade organisations. The Government also intends to invoke additional articles of the National General Mobilisation Law with a view to reorganising the industrial and economic systems on a war footing. In this connexion the principal problem is to devise measures to prevent prices from rising and to eliminate speculation. Further economies in all directions will be required of the whole nation.\n\n## Enclosure 2.\n\nSummary of Address delivered by the Minister for Foreign Affairs at a Conference of Prefectural Governors on October 2, 1939. (Translated from a Summary (in Japanese) issued by the Information Bureau of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.)\n\nAS explained by Mr. Arita at the Conference of Prefectural Governors held in May last, the Government had adopted the policy of strengthening the Anti-Comintern Pact between Japan, Germany and Italy and was engaged in negotiations with those two countries. Subsequently, however, the situation in Europe, centring round the problem of Danzig, underwent a sudden change as a result of the conclusion on the 24th August of a non-aggression agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union. On account of this agreement, the negotiations in question were suspended.\n\nThe situation in Europe went from bad to worse after the conclusion of the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Agreement, and on the 31st August hostilities...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 564065, "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": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "page_number": 28, "title": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "content_text": "# FAR EASTERN (JAPAN)\n## CONFIDENTIAL\n### November 1, 1939\n#### SECTION 1\n`[F 11413/23/23]`\n\nCopy No. 135\n\n**Mr. Dodds to Viscount Halifax.-(Received November 1.)**\n**(No. 614.) My Lord,**\n\nTokyo, September 11, 1939.\n\nAFTER the resignation of the Hiranuma Cabinet no time was lost by the advisers to the throne in completing the formalities which in this country normally accompany the selection of a new Prime Minister. A few hours after Baron Hiranuma had submitted his own resignation and that of his colleagues, Mr. Yuasa, Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, was despatched to consult Prince Saionji at his summer residence in Gotemba, and by the evening of the same day it was officially announced that General Nobuyuki Abe had received the Imperial Command to form a Cabinet.\n\n2. For some days before the Prime Minister's resignation there had been great activity in high circles. Prince Konoe, President of the Privy Council and Minister without portfolio, had returned from Karuizawa to the capital, and a series of important conferences had taken place, at which it is evident that plans were laid for a speedy clarification of the internal political situation. There is good reason to believe that the three first candidates considered were General Ugaki, Mr. Hirota and General Abe, in that order. There was in many quarters an earnest desire that the first-named might be selected, but it may, I think, be taken for granted that his position vis-à-vis the army is still such as to have rendered it impossible for him to have accepted the responsibility of forming a Cabinet. Moreover, the circumstances in which, less than a year ago, he resigned from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs have not been forgotten, and I have heard it said on several occasions that the time is not yet ripe for his reappearance in the political arena. It is possible that somewhat similar reasons militated against the selection of Mr. Hirota; and it was in these circumstances that the choice of His Majesty's advisers fell upon General Abe.\n\n3. The new Prime Minister is well known as a soldier, but his capabilities as a politician are quite unknown. He is remarkable for the fact that during the greater part of his career he has held executive positions, and he is the only one on the list of generals who has not received the decoration of the Golden Kite, a reward which is reserved as a recognition of services in the field. He is, however, generally regarded as a capable executive officer, and it is recalled that during his tenure of office as Vice-Minister for War under General Ugaki he acted for some months as Minister in the latter's absence through illness. He has, moreover, a reputation for being straightforward and frank, and according to the military attaché to this embassy he has kept himself physically fit and is of extreme mental alertness, in addition to having a cheerful outlook on life and being a \"good mixer.\" It is true that his foreign affiliations are mainly German, but according to General Piggott he is by no means pro-German, but is regarded rather as being neutral in his sympathies towards foreign countries. His appointment is said to be supported wholeheartedly by the army.\n\n4. General Abe was at the time of the incident of the 26th February, 1936, a member of the Supreme War Council, but resigned with General Araki and several other generals out of a sense of responsibility for the part taken by the army in the assassination of high Government officials. Since that time he has lived in retirement until a few months ago, when he was nominated by Prince Konoe to be Director in Chief of the Toa Dobunkai (East Asia Culture Society), which was instituted some years ago by Prince Konoe's father and of which Prince Konoe himself is now president. It appears that this society is purely cultural in its purposes; but it is perhaps not without significance that Baron Hiranuma's successor should be one who has recently been closely associated with Prince Konoe, for the latter, although he has lately taken no active part in the administration of affairs, has yet, as Minister without portfolio, undoubtedly exerted considerable influence from behind the scenes. I may add \n\n`[758 a-1]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 564066, "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": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "page_number": 29, "title": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "content_text": "# 32\n\nthat General Abe's son was recently married to the daughter of Marquess Kido, the outgoing Minister of Internal Affairs. There is thus a further close family connexion between the new Prime Minister and circles in close touch with Prince Konoe.\n\n5. The other members of the new Cabinet, in which the Prime Minister will concurrently hold the portfolio for Foreign Affairs, are as follows:—\n\n| Position | Name |\n| --- | --- |\n| Minister of Internal Affairs | Mr. Naoshi Ohara |\n| Minister of Welfare | Mr. Naoshi Ohara |\n| Minister of Finance | Mr. Kazuo Aoki |\n| Minister of War | General Shunroku Hata |\n| Minister of Marine | Vice-Admiral Zengo Yoshida |\n| Minister of Justice | Dr. Chogoro Miyagi |\n| Minister of Education | Mr. Kakichi Kawarada |\n| Minister of Commerce and Industry | Vice-Admiral Takuo Godo |\n| Minister of Agriculture and Forestry | Vice-Admiral Takuo Godo |\n| Minister of Communications | Mr. Ryutaro Nagai |\n| Minister of Railways | Mr. Ryutaro Nagai |\n| Minister of Overseas Affairs | Mr. Tsuneo Kanemitsu |\n\nAs reported in my telegram No. `1132` of the 30th August, the formal installation took place on the afternoon of that date.\n\n6. Vice-Admiral Yoshida was from the outset mentioned as the most likely candidate for the post of Minister of Marine, and it seems that this was actually the case. He is said to have been marked out for his present post for some years; he belongs to the same school as Admiral Yonai, is a man of moderate views, and has, it appears, kept himself free from definite association with any particular faction in the navy.\n\n7. The choice of a Minister of War seems to have caused some difficulty, and the names of Lieutenant-General Kensuke Isogai and, later, of Lieutenant-General Hayao Tada, were at first freely mentioned in connexion with this key post. Both these officers, however, now hold important posts in the Kwantung army, and it appears to have been mainly for this reason that recourse was had to General Hata. From our point of view, it is doubtful whether the choice could have been a better one, for it is safe to say that had he not been in favour in Court circles, he would not have been given, as recently as May of this year, the post of chief aide-de-camp to the Emperor. On the other hand, both General Isogai and General Tada are known to belong to the more reactionary section of the army, and it will be recalled that as Japanese military attaché at Peking from 1935-36, the former was the author of many aggressive statements on the subject of Japan's policy towards China. I may add that the new Minister of War was, it is generally supposed, specially selected to command the Japanese forces in Central China upon the recall early in 1938 of General Iwane Matsui, it being said that he was regarded as particularly suited to this command at a time when it was necessary to restore discipline to the Japanese army of occupation after the excesses accompanying the fall of Nanking.\n\n8. Of the civilian members of the Cabinet, three, namely, Messrs. Aoki, Miyagi, and Kanemitsu, have not previously held a ministerial post. The first two are both Government officials who have served principally in the Ministries of Finance and Justice respectively, over which they are now called upon to preside. Little is known at this embassy of either of them. Mr. Kanemitsu is a politician; he was formerly a member of the Seiyukai, but withdrew from the party upon his appointment in 1937 to be vice-president of the House of Representatives. He will now represent the Seiyukai in the Cabinet, it being understood that he owes his selection to the fact that the party is in the position of a house divided against itself. In this connexion, I have the honour to refer your Lordship to my despatch No. `371` of the 17th May last. There are still no signs of a rapprochement between the \"reformist\" and \"orthodox\" sections headed by Mr. Nakajima and Mr. Kuhara respectively, and the new Prime Minister has thus extricated himself from a difficult position by choosing a representative of the party from neither.\n\n9. The other four members of the Cabinet have all had previous experience in administrative work, two of them, namely, Vice-Admiral Godo and Mr. Ohara, having previously held the portfolios now entrusted to them. Mr. Kawarada has formerly held office as Minister of Home Affairs, and it is interesting to note he is known to have very close connexions with the family of Prince Konoe. Mr. Nagai, who represents the Minseito, and Vice-Admiral Godo are both from the same province as the new Prime Minister, a fact which is not without importance in this country, and one which may have inspired the wish expressed editorially by the Asahi some days ago that an end might be put to the practice of selecting Ministers from personal considerations.\n\n10. As I had the honour to report in my telegram No. `1134` of the 30th August, the new Cabinet has been received by the press without enthusiasm. The Nichi Nichi, for instance, in a leading article in its issue of the 30th August, says that what is required in order to effect a refreshment of the public mind (to the necessity for which Baron Hiranuma referred in explaining his resignation) is to eliminate the anxiety of the nation as to the causes of the frequent changes of Cabinet at a time when it is engrossed upon the China incident. The nation could not be indifferent to changes unless each succeeding Cabinet was stronger than the last. No comparison could be drawn between the administrative ability of the new Prime Minister and that of either Prince Konoe or Baron Hiranuma. The former was immensely popular, and the latter was well known as a statesman close to the throne and as the holder of definite views. From the point of view of practical politics, popularity might not be of great importance, but it was desirable that the Cabinet should be headed by a man who was known to the people and stood high in their estimation. There was, however, no suggestion that the nation would not support the new Cabinet.\n\nThe Chugai looks upon the new Cabinet as yet another continuation of the Konoe and Hiranuma administrations, although it points out that in one respect it has an advantage over that of Baron Hiranuma, since under the latter, the policy of Japan vis-à-vis Europe took shape and this has now been liquidated; The new Cabinet is therefore in a position to make a new start and to show its ability in this direction. The Hochi is openly sceptical of General Abe's qualifications as a statesman; while the Kokumin says that no improvement in politics can be hoped for so long as the system under which members of the outgoing Cabinet interest themselves in the formation of the next continues.\n\nAs stated in my telegram No. `1162` of the 3rd September, I am not personally very favourably impressed with the new Cabinet, and it appears to be the general feeling that it is by no means a strong one. Herein, I think, lies the danger of the present position. The German betrayal of the spirit, if not of the letter, of the Anti-Comintern Pact, has been a rude shock to the country. It has also caused the military party and the reactionary elements who were exerting every effort to force the Hiranuma Cabinet into an alliance with the Axis Powers a serious loss of face. But it would be idle to pretend that this indicates any radical change in their feelings towards ourselves. This is not the case, and I am convinced that a large section of the people of this country are now deeply imbued with a sense of animosity towards ourselves. In conversation with a member of my staff some days ago, a well-known journalist said that although by tradition and upbringing he had formerly been friendly to Great Britain, he now felt it his duty as a patriotic Japanese to regard her as Japan's worst enemy.

(Received May 15.)\n\n**(No. 247.)**\nMy Lord,\n\nTokyo, April 5, 1939.\n\nIN his savingram No. 3 of the 12th January Sir Robert Craigie expressed disagreement with the views, which were then being telegraphed from abroad to the Japanese press, to the effect that this country had gone over to totalitarianism by entrusting the reins of government to Baron Hiranuma. A party Government being as yet out of the question, there are few Japanese statesmen qualified for the post of Prime Minister, and still fewer who would be prepared, in present circumstances, to accept that office. There is, in fact, no reason to suppose that the selection of Baron Hiranuma had any connexion with his earlier political convictions.\n\n2. The new Prime Minister has himself been at pains during the Diet session to divest himself of his reputation (which he has acquired not only abroad but also in Japan) as the leader of the so-called **\"Fascist\"** movement in this country. Thus, in the speech, a translation of which was enclosed in Sir Robert Craigie's despatch No. 49 of the 30th January, he categorically affirmed his respect for constitutional government, and asserted his conviction that totalitarianism could find no place in Japan. He repeated these assurances in his reply to Mr. Debuchi on the 18th February (Sir Robert Craigie's despatch No. 207 of the 20th March). There were also speeches by other members of the Government in a similar strain, notably the speech by Admiral Yonai against excessive economic control and intervention by the fighting services in internal politics (Sir Robert Craigie's despatch No. 148 of the 2nd March), and an attack by the Minister of Home Affairs against the abstract basis of the \"renovation\" movement in this country. Marquis Kido urged that preconceived ideological theories should be discarded and that problems should be approached from a strictly rational standpoint.\n\n3. Attention has been drawn on previous occasions to the existence of a strong body of opposition to the reactionary tendencies in this country. I now have the honour to enclose, as a further illustration, a translation(`1`) of a striking editorial which is published unsigned in the April edition of the widely read Central Review.\n\n4. The five authoritarian Governments, which have held office since the suspension of Party Government followed the assassination in May 1931 of Mr. Inukai, the Seiyukai Prime Minister, have attempted, at the instance of and under constant pressure from the fighting services, to carry out a drastic national reorganisation in order to eliminate admitted abuses which had grown up during the liberal era and the prosperity of the World War boom. This \"renovation\" movement (\"Kakushin Undo\") represented a strongly nationalistic endeavour aiming at the eradication of political and bureaucratic corruption and a return to the simple life. It involved a spartan revolt against the luxuries of western civilisation, a relentless attack against the court officials and elder statesmen who were supposed to form a barrier between the Emperor and his people and, above all, national sacrifices in the interests of a vast armaments expansion programme. The nation at large, cowed by the domination of a mystical creed and by a long series of political assassinations culminating in the attempted \"Putsch\" of the 26th February, 1936, had no alternative but reluctantly to acquiesce in the course of events while fighting a rearguard action in the Diet and the press against the more glaring extravagances of the army and the bureaucracy. The Diet, however, existed under constant threat of dissolution and its resistance has accordingly been of the feeblest.\n\n[608 p-5]\n\n99\n\n(`1`) Not printed.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 564140, "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": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "page_number": 103, "title": "CO129-575-3 Japanese affairs 2-1-1939 - 21-12-1939", "content_text": "## 5. The gulf between the Government and people had become so wide during these years that it is not surprising that the latter were bewildered on finding themselves plunged into a major war. Prince Konoye, as was explained in Sir Robert Craigie's despatch No. 923 of the 17th November last, had attempted to bridge this gulf and to discover a solid basis of support in the country. But there were advocates of the renovation programme in his Cabinet, notably Admiral Suetsugu, who were resolutely opposed to any compromise with the representatives of the people. Prince Konoye was therefore unable to achieve progress in this direction.\n\n## 6. The resignation of Prince Konoye, or, rather, the elimination of Admiral Suetsugu, marks a setback for this renovation programme, if not, as the writer of the enclosed article maintains, its total bankruptcy. Baron Hiranuma has been compelled to follow a more conciliatory line of approach in dealing with the political parties and has come out as an advocate of the status quo. He has thus declared his support for constitutional government in a manner more unequivocal than any of his predecessors, even including Prince Konoye who was classed as a Liberal.\n\n## 7. It remains to be seen how Baron Hiranuma will proceed now that he has survived the Diet session. Some account is given in Sir Robert Craigie's despatch No. 234 of the 31st March, of the many problems confronting the Administration, and their solution will inevitably involve the strengthening and centralisation of economic control. But this does not mean that Japan has adopted totalitarianism as a political philosophy and it would, in fact, be true to say that she is less willing to follow such a course than was the case a year ago. For example, the national party movement, which was prominently to the fore on several occasions while Prince Konoye was in office, has not been mentioned since the formation of Baron Hiranuma's Government.\n\nI have, &c.\nJ.

Mr. Kurihara accordingly called the attention of Mr. Dodds to the case once more and the Ching Kee Company took proceedings to appeal. I deeply regret to learn that, this notwithstanding, the Supreme Court of Hongkong rejected the appeal on the 5th January last.\n\nYour Excellency must be fully aware from Mr. Kurihara's letter mentioned above that the Japanese side are greatly interested in this case and the action of the Supreme Court of Hongkong in unreasonably ordering the dissolution of a company engaged in its normal and peaceful avocations within the Japanese occupied area and proceeding arbitrarily to dispose of its assets on the basis of the verdict of the Chungking Courts which have actually withdrawn into the interior and which can exercise no authority whatever in the occupied areas, must be described as an unwarrantable procedure which does not conform with the actual situation. This procedure can only be said to be at variance with the declaration of the British Government of the 24th July last which fully recognised the actual situation in China in which large-scale military operations are in progress. Moreover, sixty-five per cent of the shares of this company are owned by residents in the Kwantung Leased Territory and Manchukuo and the Dairen Steamship Company have chartered the ships which have been detained. If such procedure as is described above were to be admitted, not only would the rights of the Japanese interests concerned be infringed thereby, but the livelihood of the Chinese population in the Japanese occupied areas would be threatened. This could only be regarded as action in support of Chiang, which the British Government have denied on several occasions and I consider that it will accordingly have an undesirable effect upon Anglo-Japanese relations.\n\nI accordingly protest vigorously against the action of the Supreme Court of Hongkong and demand the immediate release of the six vessels in question.\n\nHis Excellency\n\nSir Robert Craigie, K.C.M.G., C.B.,\n\nHis Britannic Majesty's Ambassador.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-585-3 Sino-Japanese conflict- shipping 17-1-1940 - 13-11-1940.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 574424, "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": 8, "title": "CO129-589-4 Air raid precautions- supply of equipment 1-11-1940 - 24-1-1941", "content_text": "# HONG KONG DESPATCHES\n\n## Document Header (OCR Damaged)\n\n* \n\nter \n\n,Visuust fis \n\n**PAGI FIGA** - \n\n**(E) Condes v. of** \n\nsad lo tosądue \n\nSuted won Moudt. \n\n: \n\nI \n\n'I \n\nnolol atau ni mocist \n\nof Dejrquor I dotmyeoh 3a36 20 7 digangenen ni \n\nand to food Davos betul too sde dand qirfalinol tool \n\nel nožoufo og Stylo adë “o nottu@song old na ngukuste \n\nLeod ler 006 LIN terid 1000,000,80 vietami XOʻQUV \n\n@yedsel octuİN mi gsundeinkgol edd yd Boury Kilermot \n\nbrenga ber es 13 fumoo esmart end dadd pull.b.ok medi \n\nTo be meldept a te notabingomana ent et viisauti \n\nfalougott drevalo nič no nebetamos 113 gaique God, 20 \n\nað pozirnen alat odd to cumulad sat jent öns pret \n\ncodemijes end nt bettvorg eð blvow Brzeigenq edð aðalp.os \n\n**LENGRSCOn Al netbres to Siet-Net HOL** \n\n22,0,0),pernovolí to whi ane \n\n**LA İrtzen, ong bei ofernus to Heito,uštane odd nj** \n\nco acw di usuni.

Dodds came this afternoon as suggested to discuss the future of Hong Kong University. He thought that we should be cautious in making any plans for widening the scope of the University until it was possible to see how conditions in China would develop. He referred to the growing sense of nationalism and said that Chinese students in Chinese universities tended to despise overseas Chinese from a Western University such as Hong Kong on the grounds that they possessed a hybrid culture. This, of course, would have been equally true at the time of Lord Lugard's original conception, and it may be that we shall have to abandon that first purpose for which Hong Kong University was founded. On the other hand, Professor Dodds said that Chinese still appreciate the high academic level of such universities as Oxford and Harvard and still wished to go there. He thought there might be a desire to go to Hong Kong for particular subjects, especially scientific subjects in which Chinese universities were not strong. He instanced the widespread desire for English and agreed with Mr. Gent that a fisheries research station would probably attract students.\n\nThe Professor referred to the keen interest which he had met in China in the subject of the future of Hong Kong. Where there was this growing volume of opinion which thought that Hong Kong should revert to China, he did not think that the University of Hong Kong was likely to receive much support from the Chinese. On the other hand, the present Vice-Minister of Education was sympathetic to us.\n\nReference was made to the growing use of standard Chinese (Mandarin), as part of the conscious policy of the Chinese Government to unify the country, and the fact that Chinese spoken in Hong Kong is Cantonese.\n\nMr. Gent said that he saw no reason why Mandarin should not be taught in Hong Kong.\n\nFinally, reference was made to the difficulties of recruiting staff, and Professor Dodds was glad to learn that one of the recommendations of the Asquith Committee is likely to be that staff for Colonial Universities should be recruited on a short-term basis.\n\nIt seems doubtful whether Sir H. Prideaux-Brune expected the Professor to take this rather cautious view, since he suggested in his letter at para 10 that the Professor might be able to help us by suggesting ways of establishing the university on the wider lines originally envisaged for the purpose of using it as a practical contribution to Anglo-Chinese goodwill. However this may be, it is clear that we should still set up the independent committee which was suggested at a meeting held last December (9) in order that work may be commenced on plans for assembling staff and equipment against the liberation of the Colony.\n\nThe Professor's most positive points were the necessity for obtaining a staff of first-class men and, as far as possible, keeping the University free from Government control. Both these purposes can best be achieved by the establishment of the committee referred to.\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-593-2 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University.

Dodds, who takes a keen interest in the promotion of Anglo-Chinese cultural intercourse and collaboration. The Far Eastern Committee would not, I imagine, be expected to discuss questions of practical implementation, but presumably it will be desired to obtain its endorsement in principle of the conclusion reached in the memorandum, and it might perhaps be helpful in the debate if it could be shown that there are concrete possibilities.\n\nI believe that you already have Dr. Gordon King at hand to give advice, and I only suggest that you might like to consult Professor Dodds too because he undertook a survey for the British Council of the problem of cultural intercourse with China, in 1943, and he has a special insight into the complexities of the problem.

British Council activities in China\n\nEarly in 1945, Professor E.R. Dodds, Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford, and Dr. Joseph Needham, Reader in Biochemistry at Cambridge, went out at the invitation of the British Council to establish contact with the Chinese Universities.\n\nAs a result of their recommendations, a Cultural Scientific Office was set up in Chungking under Dr. Needham, and the Council sent by air to China scientific supplies, microfilms, periodicals, etc.\n\nAt the beginning of 1945, a normal Council organisation was set up under Professor Roxby, of Liverpool University, as Chief Representative. When the Japanese war ended, he moved his headquarters to Nanking and started work in liberated China.\n\nIn February 1947, he died as the result of heart trouble, and Mr. C.P. Fitzgerald, a well-known sinologist and author of a popular short Cultural History of China, became Acting Representative.\n\nFaced with the necessity of having to cover an enormous area with limited resources, the Council have been forced to close their office in Chungking and to leave South China to be looked after by the Information Officer at Canton. The present policy is to concentrate as far as possible on the important university centre of Peking (where suitable accommodation is available) and Shanghai (which is the great distribution and travel centre), leaving only a small staff at Nanking (where accommodation is prohibitively expensive) to maintain liaison with the Chinese...\n\nPage 138\nPage 140\nPage 141", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-619-1 Parliamentary delegation to China 1-9-1947 - 23-12-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 595677, "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": "CO129-622-3 War damage compensation- requisitioned railway stores and materials 19-1-1948 - 31-12-1948", "page_number": 3, "title": "CO129-622-3 War damage compensation- requisitioned railway stores and materials 19-1-1948 - 31-12-1948", "content_text": "## I.C.A.\n### P/Muse.

I appreciate that security expenditure remains at a high level and that a supplementary vote will become necessary if the tentative figure of $82 million included in respect of the contribution in connection with the emergency is increased to the same figure as for 1950/51, but this question will be the subject of separate correspondence.\n\n2.\n\nIt is, I think, clear that the amount of the Colony's free reserves is still low in view of the need to build up reserves to finance future development and to meet other unforeseen expenditure.
