Having acted with and often for the late Colonial Secretary Mr Bruce during the whole period of his residence in China (as the enclosed note from his successor John Davis will show) and having performed the duties of Auditor General for a period of nearly 3 years, and those the first and most difficult years of this Government, without having had any fault found in the discharge of those duties but the reverse, I have the honor most respectfully to appeal to your Lordship against my being entirely set aside.\n\nCertainly I did hope that in the event of the combination of any other office with mine (though I cannot think such amalgamation beneficial to Her Majesty's Service here) it would have been considered that I had the prior claim to fill them. The combination of Treasurer and Colonial Secretary - both vacant Offices - would have effected a saving of £200 per annum more than will take place by the present arrangement and they are offices whose duties cannot clash and which might well be filled by the same person.\n\nPage 410\n\nNot to the Auditor EC.",

The text includes various sections such as government notifications, news, births, marriages, deaths, and reports on typhoons and their aftermath.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we need to correct obvious spelling errors, remove extra spaces, and fix hyphenation or line-break artifacts. For example, \"calancity\" should be \"calamity\", \"savo 'ticias\" should be \"said Ticias\", and \"prusion pond\" should be \"prisoner or provision pond\" but based on context, it seems \"prision\" is likely meant to be \"provision\".\n\n## Step 4\nRejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks where necessary is also crucial. For instance, sentences split across lines without logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nThe text contains sections that need to be formatted into Markdown. Headers, sub-headers, bold types, and tables need to be formatted accordingly. For example, main titles should be preceded by \"#\", sections by \"##\", and bold text should be surrounded by \"**\".\n\n## Step 6\nFile references should not have any spacing inside parentheses, e.g., \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\". Page numbering lines, if detected, should be kept as they are, usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end.\n\n## Step 7\nNewspaper texts might not make sense due to OCR errors in recognizing columns. Reorganizing them like a puzzle might be necessary to restore the original meaning.\n\n## Step 8\nData in tables should be properly organized to reconstruct the table format.\n\n## Step 9\nSome Chinese writing might start from right to left, and if such reversal is observed, the text should be reversed to meet modern reading habits.\n\n## Step 10\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nAge\n\nherself and infant daughter, were\n\ncalamity Entirely\n\ncut off.\n\nThat the said \"Ticias smithers the month of January\n\nhundred and forty a proportion\n\nlowa\n\ndy creating\n\n\"\n\nby this\n\nfree\n\nof his to a\n\nprovision pond and the one mouth swore if such proportion been, paid fin cases.\n\nof his saying disabled (your) believes that her late husband would have been entitled to a pension during\n\nthe remainder of his life.\n\n\"That it has\n\nbeen\n\na\n\npetitione.\n\nto your Majesty's governmento always willing to take into consideration\n\nand render assistance to the survivors of\n\npersons killed in their device and a lit...\n\nwill be found on reference to the Police.

The original text contained numerous errors likely due to OCR misrecognition, and corrections were made to improve readability while adhering to the guidelines.\n\nKey corrections and adjustments include:\n1. Reorganizing and correcting the initial jumbled text to form coherent sentences.\n2. Correcting spelling errors, e.g., \"lamig complimiento y\" was not corrected as it was unclear, \"tractonuclei\" was not corrected, \"Jovernment\" to \"Government\", \"adencnistration\" was not corrected, \"Ih mcd\" was not corrected, \"utured\" was not corrected but \"utered\" is likely \"uttered\", \"afamme\" was not corrected, \"Sai\" was not corrected, \"tennedy's\" to \"Kennedy's\" (though not present in the final coherent text), \"relinquend-\" was not corrected but is likely \"relinquish\", etc.\n3. The latter part of the text was more coherent and thus required fewer corrections. The sentence \"I have the honor to suctore for Your Lordship's information the lated reports received from Maps Smith and Drame relative to the operation of the apptem now in force for suppression of gambling\" was corrected to \"I have the honor to submit for Your Lordship's information the latest reports received from Messrs Smith and Drame relative to the operation of the Act now in force for suppression of gambling.\"\n4. Formatting was adjusted to comply with the requested HTML output using `` tags.\n\nThe initial part of the text remained largely uncorrected due to its incoherent nature and the instruction not to invent content or make significant changes to the original text unless absolutely necessary and clear. The corrections focused on the latter part where the text became more legible and corrections were more straightforward.",

Ceylon is steady at the previous value; viz., £33 10s. to £35 15s. per ton.\n\nCEREALS. The market continues very dull, and there are no transactions to report.\n\nCotton. The advance reported last week is maintained, about 500 tons having changed hands at 20s. to 22s. per cwt.\n\nDRAGON'S-BLOOD.-Little doing; 29 cases lump offered in public sale were retired.\n\nEBONY.-Ceylon is still very scarce, no part of the supplies reported to be afloat having yet come to hand. Good quality is still quoted £24 per ton, but no transactions are reported.\n\nESSENTIAL OILS.-Aniseed steady; about 100 cases sold privately at 9s. 8d. down to 9s. for a few cases, since which it has slightly rallied, and there are buyers at a shade advance; 13 cases at auction retired.

At the last sales, somewhat contrary to general expectation, there was a fairly active demand for East India Hides for both home use and export, and rather over three-fourths of the quantity offered was disposed of. Former prices were well supported for nearly all descriptions, and for some of the most desirable piles of Dacca and North-Western slaughtered an advance of ½d. to ¾d. per lb. was paid. Singapore and Penang realised about former rates. Singapore and Penang Buffalo were in full demand, and generally brought full prices; Calcutta and Java were mostly bought in.\n\nHORNS.-Siam Buffalo firm at the last quoted rate, viz., 36s. 6d. to 39s. 6d. per cwt. for 3 lb. to 4 lb.

His deceased Father, the late Mr William Barnicott, Clerk in H.M. Colonial Office at Hong Kong, I knew in the Month of November 1863, having been in the same Office. He married my deceased Wife's Sister, Jane Smith, who unfortunately died at Sea. I was afterwards burned out at Aden in the 16th June 1866, returning home with his widow & children on the 28th February 1870. She died on the 7th February 1871, and was buried at ... , leaving no other children save the orphan who was born on 14th December 1864.\n\nHaving been informed that it was the custom for all entries of Marriages, Births & deaths of English subjects occurring in Hong Kong to be transmitted & forwarded to your Lordship's Secretariat, and if this custom is still kept up, may I be permitted to ask for copies of such entries of the Marriage of his Parents, his Birth & Baptism, and of the death of his father, so that the rules of the Bishop's Orphan Asylum at Slough may be complied with.\n\nLad k. had no knowledge of the late Mr Barnicott, his Lordship repeats that he cannot sanction the use of his name on a rassing card, in behalf of Mr. Barnicott's son.\n\n6th February 1873\n\nPortpool Lane, Gray's Inn Road, London EC.\n\nTo The Right Honble \nThe Earl of Kimberley, \nSecretary of State for the Colonies, \nWhitehall, \nDowning Street.\n\n`BRUC Jch. 42.9/73` \nReceived \n7 FEB 1873 \n737",

And as it has been shown that, in several instances before now, British Consular Agents have resided in Macao, and that their official recognition has invariably been asked for from the Portuguese Government, and never from the Chinese, the advice which was given by the Queen's Advocate in 1844 would appear to hold as good now as it did then, that it would be more advisable to apply for an exequatur than to bring forward the question of sovereignty; more especially since it was stated in \n\nSir T.

But no official statement has yet been published either as to the terms of the new lease or as to the price to be paid for it, while most disquieting rumours exist in the Colony generally to the effect that the local Government are believed there to be resolved to fix the price so high that the Kowloon Garden Lot Lessees shall gain nothing by this concession. This evasion of his Lordship's directions would, if really contemplated, be inconsistent with the respect which should be paid to the Secretary of State, but I wish to be allowed to state the following reasons why the Kowloon Garden Lott-holders should not be treated illiberally.\n\nWhen giving evidence before the Commission, I pointed out the various forms of leases for 75 years in use in the Colony and was informed that it was proposed to give...",

This has been so completely demonstrated to be non-existent that we sincerely hope no obstacle will remain to the Colonial Office affording us the prompt aid we require in carrying out the scheme, fraught with great benefit to the inhabitants of Hong Kong & the South of China, and damaging only to an individual firm at present holding a monopoly for the storage of case oil in Hong Kong.\n\nWe are, Sir,\n\nYour Obedient servants,\n\nP.S.

The first clerk and cashier has resigned and taken his pension. The second clerk and accountant has been promoted to the position of first clerk and combines the duties of cashier and accountant. The third clerk becomes second clerk and combines the duties of his present and former appointment. We, the fourth, fifth, and other clerks, and the notice server, naturally expected promotion in due course to the positions of third, fourth, and fifth clerks with the ordinary increase of pay. We have been set aside in favour of gentlemen, Mr. Cuentra and Mr. Emedias, who are not in the permanent Civil Service.\n\nWe beg leave to hand herewith a copy of a letter addressed by us to the Head of Department for submission to His Excellency the Governor, laying our grievance before him.\n\nHong Kong, 6th February 1892\n\nTreasury EC 21 MAR 93.\n\nC.

Chalmers).\n\nThe objection to (1) is the sentimental one that it apparently puts the British Dollar in the undignified position of being subordinate to the Mexican; but in the new British Honduras coinage Law, (draft herewith) we have inflicted this indignity on the British sovereign by making it in a sense subordinate to the American gold dollar.

(Colonial Regulations, § 430.)\n\n### Head 3\nState the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\n### Head 5\nIf the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates, and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated under heading 9.\n\n### Head 6\nIf the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual\". In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average\", but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\n### Head 7\nA separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c., as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed.\n\nPapers of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\n### Head 8\nIn cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\n### Head 9\nAs to \"broken\" service, see Head 5. If the Applicant has had any \"acting\" service, the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\n### Head 11\nIf, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have \"private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\n### Head 14\nIf the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\n### Head 19\nThe length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c., is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\nHongkong\n\nN 1983\n\n(Subject.)\n\nfor H. J.

The Masters are Englishmen generally trained and certificated. The School is recognised as one of the most successful in the Colony. It receives a grant-in-aid from the Government, the only other sources of income being fees from the scholars, and donations solicited annually from the public.\n\nYou are aware that the Staff of English Masters at Queen's College in this Colony has been already slightly, and is about to be further increased. Last year an appointment was made, and an Assistant Master was selected from the Diocesan School; accordingly after 6 months' notice he left us to go to Queen's College.\n\nIt is true that in accordance with agreement, he refunded a portion of the money we had expended on his passage from England, but such a refund does not compensate for the loss of a good man, whose value to us increases with his experience here; moreover such a practice throws upon us the burden of the expense of another passage from England, the additional risk of a new Master being less suitable, and the inconvenience of delay, all which things are detrimental to our usefulness as a Public School. It is obvious that we cannot repeatedly bear the cost of bringing a new Assistant Master from England.\n\nIt might be replied that such appointments as these are made on their merits, and cannot be interfered with. We quite agree that this is so; and we have no wish to stand in the way of the promotion of any individual Master. We do, however, object that the Management",

It is noted that in the Colonial Office despatch to the Colony No. 75 of 24th March, it is stated that the Colony are to pay one-third of the actual total cost. \nIn order to ensure that no loss on account of the variation of the rate of exchange shall fall upon Imperial funds, it appears to Lord Lansdowne to be desirable that a distinct understanding should be arrived at \n\nUnder Secretary of State, \nColonial Office.",

Edward Wallace was, I find, sent to Hong Kong as an idiot by Mr. Alabaster on September 9th. 1885. He was confined in the asylum there for some years and was then discharged as cured. He has now become a violent and dangerous lunatic and has been confined in the Consular Gaol under an order from the Supreme Court until an opportunity offered for sending him to Hong Kong. I beg to enclose herewith a copy of the order of the Court.\n\nFull information with regard to Edward Wallace was given to Mr. Marsh, the then Colonial Secretary, by Mr. Alabaster in his despatches of the 9th. of September and the 7th. of October, 1885.\n\nI have &c.\n\nHonourable J.H.Stewart Lockhart, Colonial Secretary, HONG KONG\n\n(Signed.)

With regard to the Certificate, I most respectfully submit that it is not in accordance with the terms of your letter No. 11445/44, of 18th September, in reply to my Memorial of the 6th May last, inasmuch as instead of the Certificate being altered as promised to \"retired on a reduced pension\" it is altered to \"was retired on a reduced pension.\"\n\nThe alteration is evidently purposely made to convey the sense of dismissal. Moreover, in this respect, it differs from the new certificate issued to Mr. M. Inney, of Shaughne, in which I am informed there was no such alteration.\n\n3. In the descriptive List of my pension papers, a copy of which I presume will be in the Colonial Office, under the heading \"then discharged,\" the printed word \"discharged\" has been crossed out and the word \"dismissed\" substituted. I respectfully submit that that alteration was made only in a vindictive spirit and with the intention to degrade.\n\n4.

Endlosure!\n\nHonourable Colonial Secretary,\n\nC. 3 44034  \n552 REC  \nEC 03\n\nThe conclusions which I arrive at from the above are:  \n**(a)** The A.H.M. has already as many duties as any one man can perform to his own, or anyone else's, satisfaction.  \n**(b)** Even if he had the time to devote to further duties, I consider that it is placing him in a false position when he is asked to serve two masters with widely separated objects in view, and with methods frequently antagonistic.  \n**(c)** That it will be found infinitely preferable to keep each Dept. separate from all the other. Divided control is certain, sooner or later to lead to discord, and, in the present case, the conflicting interests of the two Depts would, I am convinced, work prejudicially to both.\n\n8. If I may be permitted to offer a suggestion, my opinion having been asked on the subject, I would propose:-  \n**(a)** That an Officer (either ex Naval or Merchant Service), receive the appointment as Supt. of Water Police, to be under the sole control of the C.S.P.  \n**(b)** That he be engaged on the express understanding that he is not to expect promotion in the Police Force.  \n**(c)** That, to enable the H.M. to exercise that control over the Harbour and Waters of the Colony, which Ordinance 36 of 1899 demands of him, some scheme as that enclosed (`Barbour Master`), be sanctioned.\n\n(Sd.)  \nB.R.H.Taylor,  \nA.R.H.M.  \n13.10.03.",

We expect to make progress in about a week or two but it continues very uncertain with whom we will negotiate.\"\n\nWe are greatly disappointed that so much delay is taking place at Peking and that we are still in a condition of uncertainty as to the negotiations although our past experience and especially our knowledge of Sheng Kung Pao should have prepared us for infinite procrastination.\n\nRumoured movements in the direction of Railway construction to unite Canton and Whampoa point to the urgency \n\nPage 570  \nPage 571",

The result may be that the company, its American chief shareholder and managing director and its Chinese editor are all under separate jurisdiction and laws and an offence by the one law may not be punishable by one or other of the other laws, though to the Chinese authorities and the general public the whole concern continues to appear to be under British protection. It would seem only just that a Hongkong Company doing business entirely beyond the bounds of the colony should on proof of the conviction of its directorate on a criminal charge be removed from the register.",

Colonial Office exceedingly annoyed. Inform Ross.\" \n\nI extremely regret Mr. Ross's unfortunate remark, for which I can offer no justification, but feel bound to submit that when read and examined in conjunction with Sir E. Satow's letter, to which it is in reply, there is no suggestion of any meditated surrender of a position which the Corporation and Mr. Ross were specially charged to maintain. \n\nThe paragraph, as I read it, does not refer to the main mode or principle of sharing profits according to the cost of the two sections of railway, but to the subsidiary point of the exclusion from the capital cost, of land, discounts, and commission. \n\nThat this anticipated \"stumbling block\" and others should have been the subject of conference between Mr. Ross and ...",

There is a Clerk in the Registry who bears the title of **Chief Justice's Clerk**: but he is in the Registry with work to do there, and it is impossible to withdraw him permanently to do what a Secretary should do. Moreover, as the Registry is at the other end of the passage, he is not readily accessible, and I have to send my coolie for him, and if the coolie is absent, I have to go to the Registry myself to fetch him. \n\n(c). The same thing happens when I want any books from the library. The Chief Justice's Chambers has practically no books, and he is obliged to use the Court Library (which is called in error the \"**Judge's Library**\"). This is also at the other end of the passage, and it is obvious that the Chief Justice cannot go to the Library to consult books of reference when Barristers and Solicitors are there. When it is necessary, as it often is, to consult books during the mid-day adjournment of the Court, it not infrequently happens from one cause or another that I am absolutely unable to get there. \n\n5. \n\nIn these three respects, I cannot help comparing the comfort with which the four Judges in Mauritius are surrounded, with the discomfort which the Chief Justice in Hongkong has to put up with. There, not the Chief Justice only, but the three Puisne Judges have their personal clerks, each in a room adjoining the Judge's room. They are specially chosen by the Judge himself, are of good social position, and receive a salary of Rupees 3,000 per annum. \n\n6. \n\nIn Hongkong, a Private Secretary is even more necessary from another point of view than in Mauritius, for the Chief Justice has many social duties to perform which do not arise in Mauritius: such as calls on foreign Consuls, and Ships of war. Foreigners attach a considerable importance to these social attentions. The General has his Aide-de-Camp, and the Commodore his Secretary; but the Chief Justice, who ranks above the Commodore, has no one who can perform",

The task requires proofreading the OCR output, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, and rejoining broken sentences while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\nHere's the processed text in HTML format as requested:\n\n382\n\nOffice is to be first erected in Nanking and branch offices\n\nshall be erected at Yang Chow, Ching Kiang and other such prosperous places.\n\nAt the place where an Official Opium Office is formed the boiling of Opium by the people and private shops is strictly prohibited.\n\nThe Taotai Seng shall arrange with the Treasurer the way in which the buying, boiling and selling of Opium and of prohibiting private boiling and smoking will be done and the regulations will be sent to me together with a list of general expenses for my approval. The Official stamps of the Office can be engraved at the Treasurer's discretion and I will hand same to the Office when it is presented to me after it is engraved.\n\nThe rest of the text appears to be garbled and not coherent, likely due to severe OCR errors. Without clear context or a more accurate OCR output, it's challenging to correct or make sense of the remaining text. Therefore, the above HTML output focuses on the coherent portion of the text related to the opium regulations.",

O.\n\n9970\n\n## Inclosure 7 in No. 1.\n\n**Government of Burmah to Government of India.**\n\n(Telegraphic.) P.\n\nOctober 15, 1906. WITH reference to my telegram dated the 14th October, I have received a telegram from Wilkinson, dated the 14th October, as follows:\n\n\"I have telegraphed the British Minister at Peking that an official reply from the Governor-General states that the correspondence of 1902 was never received by the Government of Yunnan, and that in consequence the Treaty of 1897 and the communication from the Wai-wu Pu to Sir E. Satow in 1901 (telegraphed here by the Wai-wu Pu) are all that he has to go by. He is, I understand, communicating by telegraph with the Wai-wu Pu.\n\n\"Co-operation is favoured by the merchant class, and opposition is chiefly from the few notables who are railway directors and are afraid of losing their small salaries as such.\"\n\n(Repeated to Viceroy's camp.)\n\n## AFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n\n[218]\n\n### No. 1.\n\n**Admiralty to Foreign Office.--(Received January 3.)**\n\nRECEIVED  \nJanuary EC 19 MAR 07\n\n#### SECTION 1.\n\nSir,\n\nI am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to forward, for the information of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a letter from Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Moore, K.C.B., K.C.V.O., C.M.G., Commander-in-chief of the China squadron, communicating a request from the Viceroy of Nanking that six Chinese midshipmen, now serving in His Majesty's ships on the station, may be allowed to proceed to England to continue their professional education at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.\n\nHaving regard to the political circumstances referred to by Sir A. Moore, my Lords are disposed to make an exception in the case of these Chinese midshipmen, and to allow them to attend a course of study at the Royal Naval College; but, before giving any instructions, my Lords will be glad to receive from the Secretary of State an expression of his views on the subject.\n\nIn the event of his opinion being favourable to the proposal, my Lords will communicate at once with the Commander-in-chief, and they presume that the Secretary of State will at the same time inform His Majesty's Minister at Peking of the decision, as suggested by Sir A. Moore.\n\nI am to add that their Lordships consider that it will probably be found convenient that the necessary arrangements with regard to the reception of these officers should be made direct between this Department and the Commander-in-chief.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \nEVAN MACGREGOR.\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1.\n\nSir,\n\n#### Vice-Admiral Moore to Admiralty.\n\n\"King Alfred\" at Hong Kong, November 21, 1906. Be pleased to inform their Lordships that Messrs. Shen Liang-woo, Tien Nan Tsai Chao-tung, Wang Kuang-hsing, Fang Yu Sheng, and Chu Tien Sen, Chinese midshipmen now serving in His Majesty's ships on the China station, having nearly completed their two years' training, are being sent back to Nanking by steamer leaving here on the 22nd instant, before the departure of the squadron for the cruise on the southern portion of the station.\n\n2. In reply to my letter asking for instructions as to their disposal, Rear-Admiral Sah communicated a request from his Excellency Tuan Fang, Viceroy of Nanking, that the period of these young officers' training might be continued, or that they might be allowed to proceed to England in order to continue their professional education at His Majesty's Royal Naval College. I have replied that these officers, having already acquired considerable knowledge and training as midshipmen, it is not considered that any benefit would result from their remaining longer in His Majesty's ships, but that, as regards the question of their study at the Royal Naval College, the matter would be referred for their Lordships' consideration, and I submit that a reply may be sent to the Chinese Government through His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking.\n\n3. From correspondence in my office, it appears that this question has been raised previously, and if there is no serious objection to these officers being allowed to attend the lectures at the College, I think it would be politic to grant the request, especially in view of the intended reorganization of the Chinese navy (China Station Submission No. `2310c-1`).",

A solution of the question of control would also appear to be a matter of urgent importance, in view of its immediate effect upon the impending negotiations for conclusion of the Soochow-Hangchow-Ningpo Agreement.\n\nAs regards the Nan-p'iao mines, the Imperial Chinese Railway Administration has definitely withdrawn from the joint working Agreement, its expenditure thereunder ceasing on the 28th February. For some time prior to this decision, I had been engaged in negotiations for the cancellation of this concession, and had offered to arbitrate in reference to the conditions proposed. Arbitration being declined, I wrote on the 5th March to the Managing Director (Chow Taotai), proposing certain alternative methods of settlement. The Railway Administration has referred the matter to the Board of Communications, but the latter declines to deal with it, his Excellency T'ang Shao-yi informing me that nothing can be done so long as the Board remains under the direction of an acting President. In the meanwhile, the Corporation is put to considerable inconvenience and expense, for which no justification exists.\n\nUnder these circumstances, I venture to hope that you may be willing to make representations to the Chinese Government in regard to these questions with a view to their settlement.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) **J.

(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\n## Inclosure in No. 1.\n\n## Monthly Summary of Events in China.\n\n### Chengtu.\n\nTHE Acting British Consul-General reported on the 22nd July that he arranged an interview between Mr. Polhill, of the China Inland Mission, and the Acting Viceroy, before the former left for Tachienlu on the 17th July. The Acting Viceroy received Mr. Polhill in a very friendly manner, and said he had no objection at all to his opening mission stations at Litang and Batang, but he advised him for the present to confine his work to the main roads and not to penetrate into the interior.\n\nA member of the China Inland Mission at Tachienlu writes as follows under date 8th July:\n\n\"There is a good deal of talk here just now about the Roman Catholics who are buying up a number of houses in the city. They have recently bought a row of ten houses, practically a whole street, and are now trying to get hold of five or six inns at the back of this street. The inn people don't want to sell, but they are afraid the Roman Catholics will bring foreign, i.e., French, pressure to bear by referring the case to Chengtu.\n\n\"The Envoy from Nepaul, with about forty men, is here on his way to Peking. He speaks English very well, and is a very pleasant gentleman.\n\n\"Ya Tai, the late Chinese Amban, is now in Litang on his way to Chengtu. He is travelling quite unofficially, being in disgrace.*\n\n\"A Chinese surveyor, who has been eight years in Japan, is now in this district making maps for the Viceroy.\"\n\nWith reference to the inns mentioned in this missionary's letter, they are large Thibetan inns managed by Headmen of the Min Cheng Sau, or native King, for the convenience of Thibetan traders and others. They make no charge for board or lodging, but are allowed a percentage on all trade transactions taking place in their inns. Their title to the property is hereditary; they cannot sell, but are allowed to let on annual leases. If the family owning an inn dies out it reverts to the King, who then bestows it on some other family. There are forty-eight of these inns in Tachienlu.\n\nThere is a good deal of friction just now between the Chinese authorities at Tachienlu and the native King, owing to the former's attempts to restrict his powers and prerogatives. It is just possible that the Roman Catholic Mission, in endeavouring to obtain possession of these Ko-chuangs, is acting with the knowledge and consent of the Chinese officials, who may seize the opportunity to deal a blow at the native King's influence by abolishing the inn system.\n\n### Foochow.\n\nArsenal at Pagoda Anchorage.-The contracts with the French officers in charge of the arsenal will expire this month, and it is not the intention of the authorities to renew... * This is contradicted in another despatch.\n\n[2732-4]",

Sir,\n\nPeking, November 10, 1907.\n\nREFERRING to your despatch No. 302 of the 29th July last, instructing me to keep you informed of any progress that was being made in the matter of anti-opium measures at Shanghae, I have the honour to transmit to you copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Consul-General at that port, forwarding a communication from the Municipal Council, in which they give expression to their views as to the course of action which should be adopted in the foreign Settlement. A reference to my despatches No. 205 of the 30th April and No. 438 of the 18th September will show you that there are now no opium establishments of any kind in any of the British Concessions in China, and the International Settlement in Shanghae is the only one which has to be considered in connection with clause V of the Memorandum from the Wai-wu Pu, copy of which was inclosed in my despatch No. 524 of the 12th December, 1906.\n\nIn a letter dated the 12th January, copy of which formed a sub-inclosure to Inclosure 2 in my despatch No. 73 of the 6th February, the Chairman of the Shanghae Municipal Council authorized the Senior Consul to convey to the Taotai an expression of the Council's sincere sympathy with the movement for the suppression of the use of opium, and an assurance that so soon as there was evidence of bona fide intention on the part of the Chinese Government to give practical effect to its protestations, the active co-operation of the foreign authorities in the International Settlement would follow.\n\nThe closure of opium dens in the Shanghae city and the extra-Settlement districts was effected on the 22nd June last, and the Taotai renewed his request that similar steps should be taken within the Settlement.\n\nIn their reply of the 22nd July (Inclosure 2 in my despatch No. 377 of the 7th August) the Municipal Council stated that the course which had been adopted in the city—that of converting opium smoking-houses into shops for the retail sale of the drug—if adopted in the Settlement, would not tend to check the opium habit, but would have the result of converting coolie lodging-houses into opium smoking establishments, and increasing the prevalence of the habit amongst private native residents. The Council also suggested, as a condition precedent to their being required to take action in the Settlement, that some endeavour should be made to decrease the large areas in the interior under poppy cultivation.\n\nSince then the Council have been informed of the views expressed in your despatch No. 231 of the 14th June, which stated that if effective measures have previously been taken to close opium shops and dens outside the limits of the various foreign Settlements and Concessions, the Municipal Councils of these localities should be moved to close such establishments as exist within the Settlement or Concession areas before being approached by the Chinese authorities.\n\nThese views were officially communicated to the Chinese Government, and it is probable that they will not consider the action of the Municipal Council at Shanghae, as explained in the Chairman's letter of the 18th October last, an adequate fulfilment of the engagement entered into by His Majesty's Government. The Council, it will be observed, do not consider that the closure of the opium dens outside the Settlement is an effective measure in the sense of restricting the use of opium, and this is a view which seems to be very generally held by foreign observers; but it can scarcely be denied, I think, that the Chinese authorities, both at Shanghae and in many other parts of the Empire, have made a genuine effort to combat the evils of opium smoking. Whether they will succeed in eventually suppressing the evil is a point on which few will care to hazard an opinion, but it is, I conceive, our duty to see that failure cannot afterwards be reasonably attributed to any want of co-operation on our part.\n\nIn order to enable you to form as just a conception of the question as our limited sources of information will permit, I have instructed His Majesty's Consul-General at Shanghae...\n\n[2769 ec--4]\n\nPage 389\n\n[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\nC.

The discussions have been long, but they have not covered any new ground, and have only served to convince me that the Chinese Government are more than likely to take an obstinate stand on their view of the transfer deed of February 1901, and to refuse to order a cessation of the new workings. I am insisting on a written reply to my Memorandum, which, I am informed, is in preparation; and I have warned the Wai-wu Pu that if it is unfavourable I shall be compelled in the last resort to see his Excellency Yuan Shih-kai personally, as the official chiefly concerned in the promotion of the Lanchou Company.\n\nMr. M.

Sir,\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received September 28.)\n\nPeking, September 2, 1908, REFERRING to my despatch No. 371 of the 19th ultimo,* I have the honour to enclose for your information a translation of an important Decree of the Empress-Dowager, which was published on the 27th August, on the preparations to be made for Constitutional and Parliamentary Government.\n\nThe Princes presiding over the Constitutional Government Commission and the Senate have submitted the heads of a scheme for the inauguration of a Constitution and Parliament, which is stated not to conflict with Chinese statecraft and traditions. This scheme is approved by the Empress, and the gradual preparatory steps suggested are to be completed in nine years' time, when the Constitution will be promulgated and a Parliament summoned. In the meantime the existing régime is to be carefully respected, and agitators and other disturbers of the peace are to be rigorously suppressed.\n\nThe Imperial Decree, with the scheme attached, is to be printed in yellow (“têng huang\"), stamped with the Imperial Seal, and published broadcast over the Empire. All high officers of State, metropolitan and provincial, are held responsible for the effective carrying out of the details within the time appointed, and six-monthly reports of progress are to be made to the Court of the steps taken in the furtherance of the scheme. Newly-appointed officials are to memorialize on the action taken by their predecessors for this purpose, in order to secure continuity. Any laxity or want of zeal is to be specially reported, and offenders are warned that they will be punished mercilessly.\n\nThe scheme referred to in this Decree will form the subject of a later despatch.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nExtract from the \"Official Gazette\" of August 25, 1908.\n\n(Translation.)\n\nIMPERIAL Decree issued by the Empress-Dowager on the 27th July, in response to a Joint Memorial submitted by the Constitutional Reform Commission and the Senate with reference to the establishment of Constitutional Government, the convocation of a Parliament, the methods of election, and the measures to be taken year by year in preparation for this measure.\n\nIN view of the present enfeebled state of the country and the fact that conditions are constantly changing, it is only by unity of purpose among all, from the highest to the lowest, that the country can be preserved; only by reform of the legal system can the public peace be assured, and only by mutual co-operation and assistance between officials and people can any real progress or satisfactory results be attained. The memorialists' proposals with regard to the establishment of Constitutional Government, the convocation of a Parliament, and the election of Members are of the most comprehensive nature; they have clearly defined the limits of the powers to be enjoyed by the new body, and have selected from the systems of other nations suitable rules not contrary to Chinese traditions.\n\nThe important point is that there should be no departure from the many Imperial Decrees already issued, and that the supreme authority should continue to be vested in\n\n* Not yet received.\n\n[1933 ec--1]",

Grey, that they concur generally in the action which has been taken in the matter by the British Representatives in China, and they agree with the principle that launches should be prevented from flying the British flag unless they are British owned.\n\nWith the information at their disposal the Board do not feel competent to express a definite opinion as regards the question of registry, but it appears to them that there should be no insuperable difficulty in some at least of the launches obtaining registry under the Merchant Shipping Act; if in any case, however, it is impracticable to obtain this registry, they see no objection to a launch flying the British flag, provided satisfactory evidence is produced of genuine British ownership.\n\nI am, &c.

Their existence has led to serious evils, and has directed the attention of the authorities to the necessity of limiting the evil by more effective measures of control.\n\n3. In the East the abuse of opium dates back several centuries. In India, where opium is usually swallowed in the form of pills (\"opium eating\"), this vicious habit largely conduced to the inferiority of the native troops, and contributed materially to the British victories of the eighteenth century. In China the vicious use of the drug appears to have begun when the habit of smoking opium was introduced from the Island of Formosa at the beginning of the same century. The Chinese Government, as early as 1729, issued an Edict prohibiting the sale of opium and ordering the closing of opium dens. This prohibition was repeatedly renewed under more and more strict penalties. Nevertheless, the use of opium continued to spread in China. In 1840 the measures taken by the Chinese Government to put an end to the import of the drug at Canton led to a war between China and Great Britain. After a second war, in which Great Britain and France were allied against China, the Chinese Government at last consented, by a supplement to the Treaty of Tien-tsin (1858), to legalize the import of opium. Being thenceforth unable to prevent the introduction of foreign opium, the Chinese authorities allowed their former laws prohibiting the cultivation of the poppy to fall into desuetude. The production of native opium increased year by year, so that in a Report recently prepared by the British Legation at Peking (China No. 1 (1908)), p. 33) the production in China is estimated at about six times the amount of the import.\n\nA century ago the yearly import of opium into China was under 300 tons; there is no reliable evidence that at that time any opium was produced in China. The total annual consumption in China prior to the reforms of the past two years was estimated at over 22,000 tons, of which 3,180 tons came from India.\n\n4. When Japan opened her ports to the commerce of the world she was careful to stipulate, by an Article of her Treaty with Great Britain made in 1858, that the trade in opium should be entirely prohibited, excepting for medical requirements. Japan has always maintained this prohibition under very severe penalties, which are rigorously enforced. The Committee of Investigation appointed by the American Government of the Philippine Islands in 1903 says on this subject in its Report:-\n\nSelf-governing British Colonies.\n\n\"There has been no moment in the nation's history when the people have wavered in their uncompromising attitude toward the drug and its use, so that an instinctive hatred of it possesses them. China's curse has been Japan's warning, and a warning heeded. No surer testimony to the reality of the evil effects of opium can be found than the horror with which China's next-door neighbour views it.\"\n\n5. All the self-governing British Colonies which contain any considerable Chinese population have adopted prohibitive laws against the sale and use of opium, apart from medical requirements. New Zealand in 1901 and Australia in 1901 adopted strict measures against the import and sale of the drug. This prohibitive legislation is due, in both Colonies, to the initiative of the Chinese themselves. Canada has just adopted (July 1908) a similar law, in order to put an end to the opium traffic carried on by Chinese in her ports on the Pacific Coast.\n\nFormosa.\n\nPhilippine Islands.\n\n6. After the annexation of Formosa, where the opium vice prevailed widely amongst the natives, the Japanese Government enacted a law constituting the opium trade a State monopoly. Under this law consumers have to register themselves, and can only obtain the daily dose of opium stated in their certificate of registration. After a certain date, no fresh registrations were to be allowed, so that on the disappearance of the present generation of consumers, the non-medical use of the drug should come to an end. There were, in 1900, 169,064 registered consumers; this number had fallen in 1907 to 113,937.\n\n7. After the annexation of the Philippine Islands by the United States, the American Government was faced by the question of the use of opium. A Committee of Inquiry was appointed, consisting of three members: the Chairman, Major Carter, was the Commissioner of Public Health for the islands; the second member was the Right Rev. C. H. Brent, Anglican Bishop in the islands; the third, Dr. José Albert, a distinguished Filipino physician. The Committee visited Japan, Formosa, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Saigon, Singapore, Penang, Burma, and Java. The recommendations contained in the Report which it presented to the Government are reproduced in Appendix (A).\n\nIn pursuance of these recommendations the American Congress enacted, in March 1905, immediate prohibition of the sale and use of opium to Filipinos, except for medical requirements. The Chinese population of about 70,000 was allowed a period of three years, at the end of which prohibition was to be applicable to it also. A law adopted by the Legislature of the Philippines on the 10th October, 1907, directed that the Chinese consumers should be registered, that only their accustomed daily dose of opium should be furnished to them, and that this dose should be reduced each month by 15 per cent, until it was entirely cut off. On the 1st March, 1908, the day on which prohibition became universal in the Philippine Islands, there remained only some 200 opium smokers in a hospital at Manila and a few more in provincial hospitals. These were soon entirely cured. In those islands prohibition appears to be, as in Japan, complete and effective; only druggists and medical men can obtain opium for medical requirements.\n\n8. In the course of the debate in the House of Commons in May 1906, on the Chinese Resolution mentioned in paragraph 1, the Secretary of State for India, Mr. John Morley (now Lord Morley), intervened to state the position of the Government on this question. He stated that both the British Government and the Government of India would agree to any proposal which the Chinese Government might make in good faith for the restriction of the consumption of opium. This offer was communicated to the Chinese Government by the British Minister at the Court of Peking, Sir John Jordan. On the 20th September, 1906, the Imperial Decree appeared, of which a translation follows:-\n\n\"Imperial Decree.\n\n\"Since the restrictions against the use of opium were removed, the poison of this drug has practically permeated the whole of China. The opium smoker wastes time and neglects his work, ruins his health, and impoverishes his family, and the poverty and weakness which for the past few decades have been daily increasing amongst us are undoubtedly attributable to this cause. To speak of this arouses our indignation, and, at a moment when we are striving to strengthen the Empire, it behoves us to admonish the people that all may realize the necessity of freeing themselves from these coils, and thus pass from sickness into health.\n\n\"It is hereby commanded that within a period of ten years the evils arising from foreign and native opium be equally and completely eradicated. Let the Government Council (Cheng Wu Chu) frame such measures as may be suitable and necessary for strictly forbidding the consumption of the drug and the cultivation of the poppy, and let them submit their proposals for our approval.\"\n\nTwo months later, at the end of November, were published the detailed Regulations for giving effect to the Edict of September, of which a translation is contained in Appendix (B).* It will be sufficient here to give a brief summary. The Regulations begin (Article 1) by directing the suppression of opium cultivation in China within ten years. Governors are to ascertain the acreage hitherto devoted to poppy cultivation in their respective provinces, and to diminish it gradually by one-ninth each year. The local authorities who succeed in completely extinguishing the cultivation before the end of the ten years are to be encouraged and rewarded. Smokers are to be registered (Article 2); those only who have obtained licences will be allowed to purchase the prescribed quantity of opium. Under Article 3 this quantity is to be annually reduced by 20 or 30 per cent., except as regards persons over 60 years of age. Opium-smoking dens are to be closed after six months (Article 4), and existing opium shops are to be closely inspected (Article 5). The preparation and distribution of medicines for the cure of smokers are to be encouraged, provided these medicines do not contain opium or morphia (Article 6). Anti-Opium Societies are to be encouraged (Article 7); the local authorities and gentry are exhorted to take the lead in the anti-opium movement (Article 8). It is strictly forbidden to officials of every degree to smoke opium (Article 9); they ought to give the people an example of abstinence from this vice. Those who are already over 60, and cannot, therefore, give up the habit, will be dispensed with; the rest will be allowed a period of six months to cure themselves. The Board of Foreign Affairs is to enter into negotiations (Article 10) with foreign Powers with a view to ending the import of opium from abroad.\n\n* This refers to the French translation appended to the original Memorial. An English translation, made at the British Embassy in Peking will be found on pp. 4-8 of the White Paper China No. 1 (1908); Correspondence respecting the Opium Question in China.\" It has been reprinted separately by the Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade, 181, Queen Victoria Street, London, EC.",

During more than 16 years residence here a special\n\nstudy has been made of this Colony's requirements and numerous\n\npapers, such as those on Sanshu and Chinese Opium, have been\n\npublished. The work involved in these has, I venture to think,\n\nbeen of much service to the Government. Also a good deal of\n\nuseful information has been obtained in connection with the\n\nwork done for the general public. From the time that the\n\nlaboratory was opened to them in 1897, the number of samples\n\nsent in, though few at first, has increased so that for the past\n\nfew years the fees paid into the Treasury for work done has\n\nalways been from $2,000 to $3,000 yearly. Therefore, it seems\n\nto me that if promoted to another Colony, as has been promised\n\nthis knowledge of local wants will have to be cultivated\n\nby my successor, so I would respectfully ask that my name may be\n\ntaken off the Colonial Office promotion list, if these can be\n\ngiven me in this Colony, a sum which sufficiently recognises the\n\nextent and responsible nature of the duties of the Government\n\nAnalyst, especially in view of the work entailed under the two\n\nnew ordinances referred to above.\n\nI have etc,\n\n(sd) Frank Browne,\n\nPrincipal Civil Medical Officer.\n\nGovt.

I said it would be better for him to let me have the cheque book entirely. From that time I signed all the cheques. After I took charge of the cheque book Mr. Tatam continued to draw money from the butchery. On 11th December, 1895, Mr. Tatam drew $150 from the Butchery for personal expenses. While living with me he paid nothing for board and lodging, This went on for 6 weeks to 2 months from 15th September, 1895, to the end of October, 1895, after that date he drew money from the Butchery for current expenses. At that time I rented the top of a house and the Butchery was on the 1st floor. Mr. Tatam drew out money as he liked. The matter was treated as in the case of an ordinary partnership. Mr. Tatam drew money for current expenses and at the end of the year a settlement would have been made had the business shown a profit. I advanced money without interest and Mr. Tatam was to give his services, and we were to divide the profits. I borrowed on 22nd October, 1895, the sum of $1,000 which I put into the Butchery.\n\n(sd.) F. A. Hazeland,\n\nAttorney-General.\n\nPage 598",

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received November 14.)**\n**(No. 179.) (Telegraphic.) P.**\n\nPeking, November 14, 1908.\n\nA CABINET Council was held yesterday morning for the purpose of determining the succession to the throne. The Empress-Dowager was present, and, though in weak health, took an active share in the deliberations. It was decided to appoint a Regent in the person of Prince Chun, whose son would be nominated heir to the throne. Prince Ch'un is to be formally installed with all due ceremonial, and, it is expected, will be invested with full powers by the Empress-Dowager. The Chinese Government trust that these arrangements will meet with the approval of the foreign Powers.\n\nSuch is the substance of a message I have received from Yuan Shih-kai. He is himself living in the Palace, and his message was conveyed to me by Sir Walter Hillier, who had himself received it from Yuan's son. Sir Walter had been particularly commissioned to procure from me my opinion as to the decision arrived at by the Grand Council.\n\nI replied that I would not fail to inform His Majesty's Government by telegraph, and would at the same time convey Yuan Shih-kai's assurance that, in his Excellency's opinion, no better arrangement could be made in view of the present condition of affairs. I declined, however, to express an opinion on a question of such moment.\n\nI pointed out privately to Sir Walter the dangers attendant on a long Regency, which had been exemplified in the case of the Emperor Kwang Hsü. The surroundings amid which the new heir would receive his early training were not suitable for the education of a future Sovereign, and the introduction into the Palace of a boy of such tender years, however unavoidable it might be, was certainly to be regretted. Sir Walter might, I suggested, take a fitting opportunity to draw attention to the desirability of reforms in the Palace.\n\nSir Walter has been led to understand that the Emperor is still alive, though no hopes are entertained of his recovery. He is, however, convinced that the death of the Emperor has already taken place.\n\n[39784]\n### No. 2.\n\n**Sir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received November 14.)**\n**(No. 180.) (Telegraphic.)

You should also express the hope that the arrangements which have been made will obviate all risk of disorder.\n\n[2029 -7]",

Hardinge.**~(Received January 12.) \n\nMy dear Hardinge, \n\nOur Portuguese Legation, London, January 12, 1909. In the first part of another telegram just being decyphered there is this: \"Representative at Peking received another note insisting on the immediate acceptance of all the Chinese demands,\" and finishing by these words: \"If the two countries are going to fight, it will only be the responsibility of the Portuguese authorities.\" These words speak for themselves, and they are incredible if Sir J. Jordan has supported us according to your instructions. \n\nYours sincerely, \n(Signed) **SOVERAL** \n\nInclosure in No. 1. \n\nTelegrams communicated by the Marquis de Soveral. \n\nSenhor de Lima to the Marquis de Soveral. \n\n**(Confidentiel et Privé.)** \n\n(1.) \n\nLe 9 janvier, 1909. \n\nJ'ai reçu du Chargé d'Affaires à Pékin le télégramme suivant :- \n\"Le Gouvernement chinois me vient d'adresser deux notes: une se référant au Mémorandum du 6 novembre dernier et demandant la nomination urgente de nouveaux Délégués pour la délimitation; une autre me demandant d'ordonner au Consul de Portugal à Canton d'indiquer le jour où il pourra se rencontrer avec les autorités chinoises pour le jugement de l'affaire 'Fatam.* Il me paraît que la Chine pense que les Articles 48 et 51 du Traité ont application à la susdite affaire, et il me paraît qu'elle a tort, puisque l'incident s'est donné à bord d'un bateau anglais, et que le jugement est de la compétence du Consul d'Angleterre. L'insistance sur le Mémorandum est un symptôme grave. Le Gouvernement chinois demande aussi au Gouvernement portugais de prohiber, d'après le Traité, tout ce qui puisse être attentatoire à la souveraineté de la Chine. Depuis la sortie de ... les insistances deviennent plus impertinentes.\" \n\n(2.) \n\nLe 11 janvier, 1909. \n\nLes télégrammes que je viens de recevoir de Pékin me font voir que la situation augmente de gravité, et que le Ministre d'Angleterre en Chine est du même avis. Je ne pense pas que le Gouvernement portugais puisse accepter la substitution des Délégués que laissant à l'Angleterre la nomination de la Commission de Délimitation. Nous ne pouvons pas retarder longtemps la décisive intervention amicale de l'Angleterre à faire le Gouvernement chinois accepter d'une manière quelconque la médiation, qui aura une solution juste et équitable, comme le Gouvernement réclame incessamment. Le Gouvernement portugais sait que le Ministre d'Angleterre à Pékin a fait connaître à la Chine, le 11 juin dernier, l'existence d'un Traité d'Alliance entre le Portugal et la Grande-Bretagne et l'obligation de cette Puissance de défendre l'intégrité du territoire portugais, mais le Gouvernement chinois n'a pas évidemment attaché à cette déclaration l'importance qu'elle a. Le Gouvernement portugais a toujours agi avec la plus grande prudence, mais cette prudence, sans être accompagnée d'une intervention efficace de la part de l'Angleterre, ne réussira pas, et encourage la Chine à de nouvelles... \n\n[2116] \n-11",

Jordan will, when negotiations commence at Peking, receive the support of their Minister there, as it is desirable, if possible, in this matter to bring Japan into line with the United States and ourselves.\n\nA few days ago I informed the Japanese Ambassador that the Russian claim was considered untenable by His Majesty's Government, and he told me that the South Manchurian Railway Company would lease their land to foreigners, who would be called upon to pay for the upkeep of roads, &c. These payments would, however, be a condition of the lease, and from what His Excellency said I understood that no claim to jurisdiction would be made.\n\n(2248 0-1)",

The elimination, however, of the British and Chinese Corporation, in whose name the agreements were concluded with the French and German groups, and with whom there is under negotiation a general agreement for railway business in China, has a very unfortunate appearance. At Berlin and Paris, where so recently assurances have been given that the Corporation had in this case the exclusive support of His Majesty's Government, it must bring about a serious loss of prestige for the British group. You should endeavour to keep Liang to his promise, described in your telegram No. 102 of the 4th instant. We must do our best to prevent the elimination of the corporation from having the effects both in China and in Europe which are anticipated.\n\nWhatever the personal relations and views of the agents in China of the corporation and the bank may be, I am assured that there is no difference of opinion between the corporation and the bank themselves.\n\n[2317 d-1]  \nPage 596  \nRECO EC 24 JUN 09  \n[June 4.]  \n[20867]",

The Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London & China, had the privilege of issuing Notes in Hongkong and the Straits Settlements, and in 1891, the last complete year for which statistics are available, its average circulation was upwards of $1,280,000 in the Straits Settlements, and $1,160,000 in Hongkong.\n\nUnder the scheme of reconstruction the present Bank took over all the Assets and Liabilities of its predecessor, and I may mention that the scheme was carried through with open doors; it entailed no loss or inconvenience on any Creditor of the Bank; all obligations and liabilities were met in the usual manner on presentation or at maturity and this without touching by way of call or otherwise on the reserve liability of the Shareholders which amounted to £750,000.\n\nBut one effect of the reconstruction (which was carried out under the Companies Act 1862 to 1890) was that all Notes presented for encashment had to be withdrawn from circulation and cancelled and that until fresh powers were obtained the privilege of Note Circulation possessed by the old Bank lapsed.\n\nPage 420\nPage 421",

The position is that the Bank is a mere reconstruction of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London & China, accepting and taking over the whole of its liabilities, and among them those of Note Issue enjoyed by that Bank, and which Notes are still to some extent in circulation in the Colony, and there accepted as part of the circulating medium as freely as those of any other Bank. It is simply desired to keep up and continue this existing state of things, though in the more convenient shape of the Bank being at liberty to issue Notes of its own without the inconvenience of Notes as they come in and are paid, having to be withdrawn from circulation through the inability to reissue.\n\nSurely thus keeping up and continuing an existing Issue cannot be regarded as any Extension interfering with the Note Issue of the Government, and as such, my Directors will be glad if Mr.",

It was referred by us to the Reform Council with instructions to consider and report on the subject, and acting on their subsequent recommendations We ordered that a bureau be established in the Board of Finance to examine into the monetary system of China. We have now perused the regulations drawn up by this Board for the reform of this system, as well as the measures they suggest for dealing with the currency now in circulation and We pronounce them sound and practicable and consider that they should be clearly promulgated for general information.\n\nThe basis of Chinese currency is hereby fixed as \"the dollar\", of which the standard shall temporarily be silver, and of which the unit shall be a dollar of weight seven mace and two candareens. Subsidiary coins shall be as follows: silver, fifty cent pieces, twenty-five cents pieces, and ten cent pieces; nickel, five cent pieces: copper, two cent, one cent, half cent and one-tenth cent pieces; in all three silver, one nickel, and four copper subsidiary coins. The coinage throughout is based on the decimal system, and bears a fixed ratio and value, which shall not be subject to arbitrary fluctuations.\n\nWe hereby command the Board of Finance to direct the various mints to strike at once the several new coins according to the prescribed weight, touch and design, and to issue these coins as soon as a sufficient quantity shall have been minted. They shall then be legal tender for the payment of all taxes, duties and likin dues whatsoever, and all government payments shall be made in the same. The Ta Ch'ing Government Bank is charged to co-operate with the various mints in devising a satisfactory method to smoothe over the transition period of the coinage system.\n\nWe",

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. Here he was bound to say from\n\nhis own experience that the same support was not given to the\n\nPolice. The city was divided up for detective purposes into\n\nsections. A Chinese detective was in charge of each section\n\nand was supposed to know the inhabitants in his section and to\n\nat once report the presence of suspects. But he had known cases\n\nin which the Detective on enquiry at a tenement house say on the ground floor as to what persons occupied the first floor\n\nhad been refused any sort of information.\n\nIf",

Supreme Court,\n\nShanghai, 8th November, 1910.\n\nDear Sir Frederick,\n\n251\n\n519\n\nI hear that the Chief Justice's judgment as to the registration of Companies in Hongkong is likely to delay the second reading of your Companies Ordinance. His judgment seems to go beyond the question before him, and in the statement as to what law is applicable in China, he is likely to find this Court unanimously in disagreement with him. He says the Home Companies Act is not in force in Shanghai, this, although he had before him a judgment of Bourne's with which I am in general agreement to the contrary. As his opinion has no force in China it is immaterial, but I do not want you to have the impression that we have no machinery for winding up a Hongkong Company here in respect of its assets which are situated within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court for China and Corea.\n\nThe parties in the case in which Sir Francis gave judgment would have been better advised if they had applied to this Court first.\n\nThe material point is that if Hongkong chooses to register these Companies they would not escape the jurisdiction of the Courts in other Countries where they may carry on business.\n\nHow far the penalties of the Home Act would apply to directors and others or to the Company itself is a difficult question on which I cannot give an opinion, but it is I think clear that a penalty could not be enforced by a British Court in China on the authority of a Hongkong Ordinance.\n\nIt is of vital importance to Shanghai that some provision for erecting limited liability Companies should exist and Hongkong Company law offers the easiest method. I am therefore writing this to assure you of my co-operation if you think Orders in Council or action by the Foreign Office are necessary.\n\nPage 810\n\nCOPY.\n\nEnclosure\n\n3\n\n1904\n\nEC",

Brunner, Mond, and Co. to Foreign Office—Received March 3.)\n\nNorthwich, March 2, 1910.\n\nAt the request of our chairman, Sir John Brunner, we beg to enclose herewith a report which we have received from our resident manager, Mr. E. S. Little of Shanghae, on the political situation in China, which we think may be of interest to you.\n\nYours respectfully,\n\nFor Brunner, Mond, and Co. (Limited),\n\nROSCOE BRUNNER,\n\nManaging Director,\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by Mr. Little on the Political Situation in China (written en route to Ichang).\n\nI DEEM it my duty to write you the following memorandum on the political conditions in China, setting out certain facts and the deduction I draw from the same. The situation is developing so rapidly that it is desirable you should be informed as soon as possible of the present trend of events in this Empire.\n\nIn previous years I have informed you that, in my opinion, there was little likelihood of a revival of the Boxer folly, and that the policy of the Government, though as anti-foreign as ever, took the form of restricting foreigners' rights and not of cutting their throats. While at the time that statement was made it was quite correct, we are now passing from that condition into a more acute stage when we may expect violent and bloody outbreaks against foreigners somewhat after the Boxer style, but conducted by the student classes. These outbreaks are inevitable, unless immediate and drastic steps are taken. There is only one possible outcome to the present policy.\n\nThe whole policy and thought of Chinese Government and people is now directly or indirectly levelled against the foreigner, as the following among many other facts will show—\n\nThe Carved Melon.—In Chinese political writings the carving of a melon is a metaphor employed to describe the cutting up and division of political territory.\n\nAs in India, in the pre-mutiny days, the chuputty cakes were mysteriously circulated throughout the land, so there has suddenly come to light simultaneously all over the Empire of China circulars in varying terms, but all conveying the same meaning, namely, that China is to be carved up this coming spring like a melon and divided among the foreign Powers; to avert this calamity all students and other loyal Chinese are called upon to enrol themselves as volunteer soldiers, learn the use of arms, and prepare to fight the foreigner and drive him bag and baggage from the coast of China.\n\nThis document has appeared in many forms; in newspapers, as circulars posted on city walls, and in other ways, and has everywhere stirred up men's minds. It is, I find as I travel, the one subject of conversation. From north to south, from east to west, it has appeared and is doing its deadly work. Unless I am much mistaken this \"carved melon\" document will cause important developments in the near future, and will take its place in history as a famous episode in China's career.\n\nThe immediate result of this publication is that the students—a noisy, irresponsible, and fiery class—have become violently excited. They are everywhere talking of warlike deeds and enrolling themselves as volunteer soldiers and drilling.\n\n[2675 c—1]\n\nB",

Sir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\nWar Office to Foreign Office.-(Received April 28.)\n\nWar Office, April 27, 1910.\n\nI AM commanded by the Army Council to state, for the information of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, that, in their opinion, the time has arrived for a reconsideration of the question of the maintenance of a British garrison and a legation guard in North China.\n\n2. In your letter of the 13th March, 1907, in reply to War Office letter of the 4th March, 1907, you stated that it was not possible in the then existing conditions to foreshadow the approximate date of their withdrawal; but on the 30th November of the same year, Sir Edward Grey consented to the concentration of the greater part of the British troops at Tien-tsin. This concentration was carried out during 1908.\n\n3. The subject of the withdrawal of these troops was again referred to in your letters of the 4th November, 1908, and of the 19th April, 1909, when it appeared to be still under consideration.\n\n4. The total foreign garrisons in Northern China now consist (December 1909 return) of 4,710 of all ranks (1,957 British and Indian, 1,405 French, 622 Japanese, 219 Austrian, 151 German, &c.), of whom 1,415 are quartered at Peking as legation guards and 2,863 at Tien-tsin, without cavalry or field artillery.\n\n5. During the ten years that have elapsed since the relief of the legations at Peking appreciable progress is believed to have been made in the formation and training of a Chinese national army on European lines, and the council are under the impression that a considerable part of the Chinese forces, especially those in the north, are sufficiently well led, armed, and disciplined to make them when in superior numbers a by no means despicable foe.\n\n6. The four best divisions of the Chinese army, averaging 11,000 men each, are stationed in the immediate vicinity of Peking and Tien-tsin, while two other divisions are stationed within 300 miles of them, and three more in the Lower Yang-tsze Valley, whence they could be brought up either wholly or partly by rail. Thus about 44,000 trained men could be concentrated for the attack of the foreign garrisons in a very small space of time, and supported by 55,000 others without serious delay, while numerous irregulars are available to co-operate with them.\n\n7. The situation of the British garrison is therefore considered by the council, from a military point of view, to be a far from secure one; and unless there are strong political grounds for maintaining the garrison, and the Japanese Government are prepared to take instant steps for its support should the Chinese Government menace it or demand its withdrawal, they are of opinion that the earliest convenient opportunity should be taken of withdrawing it.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nE. W. D. WARD.\n\n[2729 ec-1]",

As Sir E. Grey is aware, the Burmah-China frontier has been demarcated up to (approximately) 25° 35', and it has never been thought necessary to investigate its exact course further north than 26° 15', though in the draft article placed before the Wai-wu P'u on the 9th March, 1906, it is described as following \"along the watershed between the Irrawaddy and Salween basins up to the confines of Thibet.' The Chinese appear now to have crossed the watershed at about 28°, and a serious position would be created if they were to assert and maintain claims which would bring them into the neighbourhood of the border of Assam and admit them to the upper valleys of the Chindwin and the Irrawaddy, from which it is the object of our policy to keep them out.\n\nThe Hkamti-Löng were subject to the former Kingdom of Burmah, and their most powerful sawbwa has at least once sent down a representative to do homage to the British Government.\n\nIn these circumstances Viscount Morley would propose to agree in principle to the Government of India's proposal, but to ask for further details regarding the scale of the expedition and the exact procedure contemplated. He trusts that Sir E. Grey will agree that no reference to the Chinese Government is necessary.\n\nI am to enclose draft of a telegram which, with Sir E. Grey's concurrence, Lord Morley accordingly proposes to send.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nR. RITCHIE.\n\nEnclosure in No. 1.\n\nGovernment of India to Viscount Morley.\n\nJuly 25, 1910.\n\n(Telegraphic.) P.\n\nSEE my telegram of the 29th May, as to Burmah-China frontier. Detailed report has now been sent in by Government of Burmah, by which previous information as to visit to Hkamti of Chinese official with military escort is confirmed. Some discrepancy exists as to actual date on which visit took place, and as to whether the Chinese officer professed that he had come to assert a claim to a portion at least of the State of Hkamti, in the N'Maikha Valley, or merely to arrange matters of trade. Main facts, however, tally with information furnished to His Majesty's consul at Tengyueh by M. Peronne (see correspondence forwarded with letter dated the 14th instant, from Secretary to Government of India, Foreign Department).\n\nThis is in direct defiance of British Government's formal claim to regard Irrawaddy-Salween watershed as frontier between Burmah and China up to confines of Thibet, and, taken in conjunction with similar activity by Chinese in Yunnan, places in jeopardy the entire frontier north of administered portion of Myitkyina district. So far as we know, no formal claims to Hkamti, which ever since annexation of Upper Burmah has been regarded as subordinate to British Government, have been asserted by Chinese. Allegiance to British Government has been acknowledged by the principal sawbwa, who has sent tributary offerings to Burmah on several occasions.\n\nIn order to forestall designs of Chinese, lieutenant-governor recommends that a\n\n[2827 gg-1]",

A few days previously, the Russian newspapers published a telegram from the St. Petersburgh telegraph agency, to the effect that, China having consented to make concessions to Russian demands on important points, the Russian Government had agreed to continue the discussion of the detailed regulations. This report was confirmed by my Russian colleague, and it seems clear that the extension of the provisional arrangement regarding the duty payments has been made in the hope that a modus vivendi, which will at least tide over matters until the time comes next year for the revision of the 1858 and 1881 treaties, may be reached.\n\nM. Poppé, so he told me, had no information as to the matters upon which the Chinese Government was prepared to accommodate itself to the Russian views, and from a well-informed source I learn that up to within the last few days no specific concessions had, in fact, been made. The Chinese Government had merely intimated to the Russian authorities that it would do its best to meet Russian requirements in all respects. The chief points of contention are as stated in previous despatches on the subject:--\n\nTonnage dues,\n\nDuty free list,\n\nFree frontier zones,\n\nExclusive navigation rights, and\n\nThe two-thirds duty scale.\n\nThe authorities in St. Petersburgh favour, I understand, the transfer of the negotiations regarding the detailed regulations to the Russian capital; but the chargé d'affaires in Peking is opposed to this course, and has the support of the Chinese. The idea exists that the only reason for a change of venue is to enable the central authorities in St. Petersburgh, who see that there is at last a prospect of a settlement, to obtain for themselves any recognition which may follow a successful termination of the somewhat protracted negotiations which have taken place on the spot.\n\nI am now disposed to think that there can be little doubt that the possibility of Japanese claims under article 11 of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of the 22nd December, 1905, to which I had the honour to allude in my despatch No. 12, has indeed had its influence on the attitude hitherto assumed by China towards Russia's demands for preferential frontier treatment—more especially since, apart from Chientao, there is the question of the Yalu River and the Antung-Mukden Railway. It is also, perhaps, not unlikely that the reported new agreement, the text of which has not yet reached here, between Russia and Japan may have decided the Chinese Government that a conciliatory policy is now the wiser course.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nH.

He writes on the 18th June as follows:--\n\n(Translation.)\n\nThe Chinese are indeed showing great activity at present in the west of their Empire and in Thibet, and have evidently decided that the country of the Lamas must prove their most secure frontier towards the west. Up to the present they have nurtured a spirit of fanaticism in order to ward off any encroachment of foreign influence, but signs are not wanting that modern progress is gradually asserting itself, and that the Thibetans are becoming accustomed to the idea of European civilisation Hence the nervousness of and are losing to some extent their primitive barbarism. the mandarins, who are bent upon creating a Chinese province in this territory. During the past two years they have been occupied in constant military operations in the interior, and their action has exercised a depressing effect on the commerce of these vast regions. The rumours which have reached you in regard to Chinese activity are well founded, and I have ascertained that the Government of Yunnan sent a mandarin and an armed escort during the autumn of 1908 to explore the country lying to the west of the Salween. This deputy penetrated as far as the borders of Assam, into the country known by the Chinese as \"Mou-ouang\"; he was well received and distributed presents, though the journey into the interior and back to his post was attended with the greatest hardships—he travelled by the road, followed by Prince Henry of Orleans in 1898. A number of his men died of fatigue and sickness during the trying march.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nARCHIBALD ROSE.\n\n[2862 p.4]",

It is, however, very evident that the state of affairs existing in the Chinese quarter bordering on the limits of the settlement constitutes a menace to health and public security, and I venture to submit for your consideration whether under present conditions in China the definite abandonment of the claim to an extension would not offer the best prospect of obtaining a clear demarcation of the frontier and an improvement in the sanitary and police conditions.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW.

In the circumstances it will not be necessary to repeal the words \"hereafter to be printed\" in s. 4 of Nos. 50 and 51 of 1911 in relation to the Ordinances of lionękonę. \n\nIn the Interpretation Ordinance I had altered \"Ordinance here- -after to be passed\" wherever it occurs to \"future Ordinance\" before I was able to arrange a conference with the Attorney-Gene- ral, as I was passing the final proof for the press, but these changes can stand. \n\nI have thought it advisable for safety's sake to insert at the end of s. 4 in both llos. 50 and 51 of 1911 a proviso that the repeals and amendments contained in those sections respectively shall not apply to the Penalties Amendment and the Interpreta- -tion Ordinances. \n\n(ii), (iii), and (iv) had already been corrected. \n\n(v) the first error had already been corrected; the words refer- -red to in the second part are unnecessary, as the description \n\nof statutes has been invariably omitted. \n\n(vi) already corrected. \n\n(vii) I agree, and have adopted the sugestion. \n\n(viii).

In many places still there are two prices for goods, one in notes and the other in silver, and in this way they get over the police difficulty. Shopkeepers do not refuse to accept notes, but they ask for silver and will not take paper money if silver is to be got, while it is very difficult to get notes changed at all, everyone pleading a scarcity of silver. Examples are being made whenever the police authorities get a chance and a well-known merchant was heavily fined the other day.",

Alim Khan: the petition was sworn on 20th. December, 1912, and stamps put on 23rd.\n\n**\n\nIn fact here I did exactly what you were doing. I did not regard the Circular of 14th. November,, 1912, as applicable to myself. I took the Circular, I think, from the General Orders: the General Orders refer to myself. The Circular was applicable to me. I gave you the money in Sonksen's case because it was a special case. I saw you before the Circular and told you you must n't take money from anyone. In Sonksen's case you broke the General Orders and the circular on my instructions.\n\nThe giving of the number brings the file to the attention of the Auditor: if they are not numbered the Auditor would not look at them: Cordeiro and How Yin'e case were not numbered.\n\nI never knew the Auditor calls for unnumbered files; the preliminary fees are entered in the fee-book: I did not know whether unnumbered files have been called up or not from the Chief Justice's office. He does a test audit not a general audit.\n\nCordeiro and How Yin's cases would not have been traced by the Auditor: if they had been numbered they might have been traced. I don't know where the Auditor's get their numbers from; whether from the fit fee-book or register of application. You take the numbers consecutively from a book in which petitions for probate or Letters of Administration are entered: the Auditor could take the numbers from this book: the petitions and the probates have different numbers; the probate numbers were not consecutive in the\n\nMAGI",

Her case is under consideration as she has a sister in the Colony who may be willing to support her.\n\n4.\n\nI am of opinion that the rest of the women and children should be maintained either by the Imperial Government or by the Colony, and if you approve I am prepared to ask the Legislative Council to vote the money necessary for their maintenance by the Colony. Mrs. Berblinger is the only wife of a Head of a firm and it is doubtful whether that firm when wound up will be solvent.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient,\n\nhumble servant,\n\nM.

The whole scheme if carried out would, my Committee consider, not only be unsatisfactory in its carrying out, but would entail a considerable and quite unnecessary increased tax on the shipping.\n\nIt is well understood that the shipping industry is not in a flourishing condition and every care should be taken, especially in such a port as Hongkong, to do nothing which would tend to increase the charges on vessels visiting the port, and thus to discourage their calling here.\n\nI may here remark that this point has been frequently referred to in the Correspondence of this Chamber and at their Meetings, and the question was very fully dealt with at the Annual Meeting of this Chamber held on 23rd April, 1909.\n\nMy Committee now beg to suggest that as a counter-proposal to the Government's scheme, such a relaying of moorings be made as to meet the real necessities of the Shipping trade, the cost of this relaying to be shared by the Government and the Shipping Companies benefitting by the change, but that those of the regular Shipping Companies who make use of the Port continually should be allowed to own their own moorings as is done at present.",

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received June 5.)\n\n**(No. 203.)**\nSir,\n\nPeking. May 20, 1914. WITH reference to my despatch No. 103, Confidential, of the 21st April, I have the honour to enclose copy of a further letter, dated the 12th instant, addressed by the importers of Indian opium at Shanghai to His Majesty's consul-general at that port.\n\nThe importers endeavour to maintain that the present stagnation of the Shanghai opium market is due to (1) a general depression of trade, and (2) recent overstocking by the Chinese dealers. They profess to regard as irrelevant to the position of the opium market the abnormal and inflated prices fixed by the importers combine. The contention, however, that prices arbitrarily fixed at prohibitive rates cannot effect the position of the market is hardly tenable, and I am still of the opinion that the importers' action in forcing prices up to prohibitive rates is one of the chief factors in retarding sales.\n\nAs reported in my despatch No. 119 of the 18th March, the balance of stocks of certificated Indian opium held in bond by the importers at the end of February was 8,131 chests; there being also in bond, but already purchased by Chinese merchants, a further amount of 3,903 chests. By the end of March, the balance in the hands of the importers was 7,998 chests, with 3,714 chests lying to the order of Chinese purchasers. Thus, during March, importers had sold only 133 chests, while the Chinese dealers had passed out of bond 322 chests.\n\nDuring April, transactions fell to an even lower figure, importers selling only 18 chests, and the Chinese dealers passing out 282 chests. At the end of April, the balance of stocks still in importers' hands amounted to 7,979 chests, with 3,450 chests lying to the order of Chinese purchasers. Information from Shanghai states that deliveries were improving somewhat from the commencement of the current month, but that no real improvement was anticipated until July.\n\nThe assurances of the importers that they are doing their utmost to expedite consumption of stocks in hand must be received with some reserve, seeing that they have made enormous profits within the last year or two and that they must have visions of continuing to benefit largely so long as they still have stocks for disposal. Their intention of regulating their prices so as to meet liberally the demands of the market is not likely, therefore, to err on the altruistic side. But, as I had the honour to report in my despatch No. 163, Confidential, of the 21st April, the importers have received ample warning of the danger to themselves of retaining stocks; and, while it was to be hoped that the stocks would proceed steadily month by month to a vanishing point, I regret that it does not appear feasible to assist that hope by bringing any further pressure to bear on the importers.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n### Enclosure I in No. 1\n\n**(No. 58.)**\nSir,\n\nConsul-General Fraser to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nShanghai, May 14, 1914. IN accordance with your telegraphic permission, I communicated to the importers of Indian opium here your comments on their justification of their action in letting the price advance; and I have now the honour to forward copy of their further explanation of their position.\n\nIt is still true that purchases from the combine have ceased since the beginning of...",

There are a number of documents required by the Ordinance of 1911 to be filed which can apparently still be in a foreign language.\n\nThe word \"such\" where it occurs before the word \"names\" in the fourteenth line of subsection (a) of section 16 of the Ordinance would appear strictly to limit the names which can be removed to names which have been added to the list by the Registrar.

As evidence of this it may be mentioned that on the 25th May, 1893, at a General Meeting of the members of the Institute, it was formally resolved:- \n\n**That it is desirable to promote legislation which shall restrict public accountancy to existing or future chartered accountants.\"** \n\nThe Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, which came into existence five years after the granting of the Charter, was for many years treated with contempt by the Institute, until at length it was compelled to admit the right of the Society to exist and be deserving of recognition as a lawful, efficient, and reputable professional body. \n\nAs a further example of the spirit of the Institute towards persons outside its portals, it may be mentioned that at the inception of the Central Association of Accountants, the Institute issued a Writ against the Signatories to the Memorandum of Association of the Central Association, and applied to the Court of Chancery for an injunction to restrain its incorporation. The application was heard by Mr. Justice Kekewich on the 23rd June, 1905, when the motion was dismissed, with costs against the Institute. Mr. Justice Kekewich, in the course of his judgment, stated that the evidence adduced by the Institute in support of their claim was very flimsy as to the name of the Association being likely to induce confusion, and that the Institute could not insist upon having no rivals in the field. \n\nOf late years, however, a more tolerant spirit appears to have prevailed among the members of the Institute, for Mr. W. B. Peat, the then President of the Institute, on the occasion of the Annual Meeting of that body in 1907, said:- \n\n\"It may be of interest to observe that of recent years the provinces appear now to be coming into line with what we believe to be the representative opinion of the Metropolis, that the exclusive policy of the past 7 years has been a mistaken one, and that it is desirable that the task of co-operation with the other bodies, so long as they provide reasonable standards of qualification, should be seriously admitted.\" \n\nWith a view to arriving at a satisfactory conclusion on this subject, and in response to an invitation contained in a letter from the Hon. G. Colville (the Secretary of the Institute), the President of the Central Association, one member of the Council, and the Secretary attended at the Institute on Wednesday, the 19th May last, to meet the Committee of the Institute and the Society charged with the conduct of the Bill. The President of the Institute, Mr. J. B. Ball, was in the Chair, supported by Mr. W. B. Peat. Mr. James Martin, the Secretary of the Society, was also present and took part in the discussion. \n\nThe question was fully considered, and before retiring, the members of the Central Association expressed the hope that they might later have a further opportunity of again discussing the position with the Committee, for it was the intention of the Central Association to most strenuously oppose any measure which would have the effect of excluding any of its members from its provisions.\n\n## (8) Objections to the Bill \n\nA superficial glance at the provisions of the Bill is sufficient to warrant its unqualified condemnation. \n\nIn the face of the resolution of the Institute above quoted and of the antagonistic attitude throughout adopted by that body towards persons who are not members, it is somewhat Gilbertian that the Institute should ask Parliament to appoint to fill the important office of Registrar of Professional Accountants its own Secretary for the time being, and require in perpetuity to have the appointment and removal of nine out of fifteen of the members of the Registration Committee to be formed under the proposed Act, with practically unlimited powers to make Rules unfettered and unchecked, and to exercise their powers without being amenable to any public body. \n\nThe Council of the Association, who have consistently advocated the principle of registration of accountants and would welcome any fair legislation tending to place the profession on a definite basis, unhesitatingly condemn the present Bill for the following reasons:- \n\n| Reason | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | That the Bill is not drafted in the interest of the public, or of the profession generally, but is a private measure of an arbitrary character, promoted chiefly for the benefit of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors. |\n| (b) | That the Bill is an attempt to create a close profession by excluding therefrom a large body of competent and efficient persons (many of whom are members of the Central Association) who are now acting as principal clerks to Public Accountants, accountants in the employ of Bankers, Corporations, Public Bodies, or Limited Companies and the like, but who may be considered by prejudiced Committee to be constituted under the Bill, not to have the right of registration and thereby be prohibited from fairly and honestly earning their livelihood as Professional Accountants, which at present they are trained for and qualified to do. |\n| (c) | That the Professional Accountants Committee to be constituted under the Bill is proposed to be formed principally from among the members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and in view of the openly professed desire on the part of that Institute to confine the practice of accountancy in England and Wales to members of their own body, it would be improper and unjust to appoint such a Committee as is contemplated by the Bill, and entrust to them the wide powers set forth therein. |\n| (d) | That, for the last-mentioned reason, it would be unwise and unjust to appoint as the Registrar of Professional Accountants the Secretary for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. |\n| (e) | That it would be unjust and unreasonable to give power to a body of persons appointed by, and representing only a portion of the Professional Accountants, to decide as to whether their professional brethren should or should not be put upon the register as they may think fit, with power at their own unrestricted pleasure to impose upon applicants for registration arbitrary conditions and prohibitive fees. |\n| (f) | That in no case should a Committee, however appointed, be empowered to make rules unless the same are approved and sanctioned by a public authority, or to exercise the powers and authorities conferred upon them, without being amenable to a public body. |\n| (g) | That the Bill will retard the future progress of Professional Accountancy. The Committee are of opinion that the formation of such a register as is contemplated in the Bill would check the natural growth of the profession, to the detriment of the public welfare, and that it is contrary to the traditions of British Legislature to interfere in such a way as is indicated in this Bill with the development of any calling or industry. |\n| (h) | That the Bill contains no provisions for the protection of the rights and interests of the Central Association of Accountants and its members, and others engaged in the profession, and the Bill, if passed into law, would seriously interfere with and cause irreparable injury to such rights, and would tend to deprive many of the members of the Association of their means of earning an honest livelihood. |\n| (i) | That the Central Association of Accountants is the third largest body of accountants in the United Kingdom, its membership exceeding the aggregate membership of the three Scottish Societies and one Irish Society named in the Bill. The Association is well known in the accountancy and commercial world, and membership is a guarantee of ability and integrity, and it is submitted it has acquired a vested right which should be acknowledged in any legislation dealing with accountants. |\n| (j) | That, in view of the importance of the Association, and of the useful work which it has accomplished since its incorporation, and also of the fact that it is constituted under the same Acts of Parliament, and in the same way as the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, there is, in the opinion of the Committee, no justification for dissimilarity in the treatment of the Association and that Society. |\n| (k) | That, in particular, the Committee strongly object to clause 20 of the Bill, above set out in extenso, and submit that there is no justification for such a clause, which would in fact practically put an end to the Association, disperse its members, and terminate its career of usefulness (See page 6). |\n\n## (9) Committee's Recommendations \n\nThe Committee therefore recommend that the passing of the Bill be strongly opposed, and, if it go to Committee, efforts should be made to amend it so as to provide (inter alia):-\n\n| Recommendation | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | That present and future members of the Central Association of Accountants, Ltd., should be entitled to registration as of right, and in all respects receive the same treatment as the members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and the Society of Incorporated Accountants and Auditors, and that the name of the Central Association be inserted in the necessary clauses in the Bill. |\n| (b) | That the Registrar of Professional Accountants should be, or be appointed by, the President of the Board of Trade, or some other public authority. |\n| (c) | That the Professional Accountants Committee should be elected annually by the registered Professional Accountants themselves. |\n| (d) | That any rules made by the Committee under the Bill should require the approval of the Board of Trade. |\n| (e) | That any person other than a member of the Central Association or any of the Societies named in the Bill, who has had at least ten years' experience in the practice of accountancy, either as a principal or in the office of a practising accountant or both, should be entitled to be registered on passing the examination to be prescribed by the Committee under the Bill, and should be entitled to sit for such examination whether he has or has not served under Articles of Apprenticeship. |\n| (f) | That, as regards the power of the Committee to refuse registration, rectify the register, and restore names thereto, there should be a right of appeal to the Board of Trade or other public authority. |\n\nOn the 5th July, 1909, the Central Association prepared and sealed a petition to the House of Lords against the Bill, praying in the event of it being read a second time, that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee, and that the Central Association might be heard by themselves, their Counsel, and witnesses against the Bill, and in support of the insertion therein of such clauses and provisions as they might deem necessary for the protection of the Association and its members. \n\nThe petition was presented in person by the Right Honourable Lord Cheylesmore on the following day.\n\n65, London Wall,  \nLondon, EC\n\n**GEORGE BARTLETT, Chairman.**  \nGEO.

Their orders are always to sink junks rather than let them be seized. It is estimated that there are\n\nabout 500 piculs on board the other two junks, one of which is\n\nleaking badly.\n\nI tried to get the Salt Weiyuan to send at once to\n\nfetch the salt, together with about another 200 piculs found at\n\ndifferent times, since the 2nd March, on various steamers, but\n\nso far have not succeeded as his excuse is that the price we ask for it the usual Hk.Tls.0.6.7.7 per picul is too dear as\n\nsalt is cheap now. It is naturally cheap when the quantities smuggled in are taken into consideration; but the truth is that\n\nthe Yen Wu Ch'i Ssu T'ung Ling (\n\nis not at all\n\n-\n\n-\n\npleased at our large seizures, as it is, no doubt, damaging to his interests. It is only since the appointment of this official that we have had trouble in the disposal of our salt, as, before, it was bought through the Weiyuan by authorised merchants and paid for on the spot. I have seen the Weiyuan and\n\ntold him that the present arrangement is unsatisfactory and\n\nhe is now in Canton seeing the Salt Commissioner on the subject.\n\nOne of my objects in placing this memorandum before\n\nyou is to know your opinion, for future guidance, as to whether you wish me to continue to make such seizures. As the same time, in the interest of China's revenues, I think that\n\nthe information should be brought to your notice.\n\nCustoms House, Koangmoon, 8th April, 1915.\n\n(Signed)\n\nF.

Steam Navigation Company, 122, Leadenhall-street, EC, on last inst. Mr. F. Anderson (Chairman of Committee) presided, and there were also present: Sir W. C. Hillier, K.C.M.G., C.B., Sir A. Dent, K.C.M.G., Messrs. F. J. Abbott, F. Allen, John C. Bois, Byron Brenan, C.M.G., E. J. Carrol, Ed. Cousins, Geo. B. Dodwell, A. J. Garfit, J. C. Hatson, Wm. Harwood, J. S. Haskell, Edgar J.

Wood, and the Secretary (Mr. H. C. Wilcox).\n\nThe Chairman said: The report has been circulated to members in advance. I need not therefore do more than refer to it in general terms. I would explain that our annual meeting is about a month later than usual this year, mainly owing to our secretary, Mr. Wilcox, having had to carry on the work of his office single-handed. We have given leave of absence for service in the Army to his assistant, Mr. Lambert. Notwithstanding the terrible struggle in which this country is engaged so close to our own doors, events in the Far East have by no means passed unnoticed. Whilst Western countries over an immense area are being shaken to their very foundations, China has had to deal with serious problems of her own, both internal and external. From time to time situations have arisen which might have resulted in disaster had weakness and irresolution been shown in dealing with them, but the discretion and ability with which her Government acted under trying conditions have enhanced its prestige, and have done much to inspire confidence in the present Chinese administration.\n\nIt should be borne in mind that only a year ago the Government had not suppressed the notorious White Wolf; disorder was widespread in many provinces—a kind of aftermath of the revolution; intrigue and conspiracy were rife in the capital, many of the Provincial Governments hampered the Central Authority by obstructive tactics and by withholding supplies, whilst foreign relations in certain quarters were becoming complicated. In weak hands the affairs of the country would in all probability have drifted into chaos. Now whether it is true or not in ordinary times that \"in the multitude of counsellors there is wisdom,\" experience has shown once more, and not only in China, that at a time of national crisis it is essential for the welfare of the State to concentrate power in the hands of one national central authority.\n\nThe great mass of the people of China quickly realised that patriotism and common sense alike demanded that they should support the government of Yuan Shih-kai if disaster were to be averted, and the course of events has justified the wisdom of their decision. Disorder has been suppressed, legislation on conservative lines has been enacted, the authority of Peking over the Provinces has been re-established, judicious fiscal reforms have been inaugurated, and the first step towards the establishment of a permanent constitution has been taken in the promulgation of what is known as \"The Constitutional Compact\"—a translation of which interesting and important document will be found in the report.\n\nEvidence of the confidence inspired by the Administration may be seen in the fact that two internal loans have been successfully floated in China at a time when the money markets of the Western world have been practically closed owing to the war. Concurrently with all this the foreign affairs of the country have been so handled that the danger of complications arising has been minimised, and, we hope, will be entirely averted.\n\nIn the past year statesmen all over the world have had to bear a heavy burden of responsibility. The President of the Chinese Republic has been no exception to the general rule—few men in the whole world have had a more difficult and onerous role to fill, or have shown greater sagacity in dealing with difficulties.\n\nTHE JAPANESE DEMANDS.\n\nWe have referred in the report to the Japanese claims on China, which at one time gave rise to some uneasiness in this country owing to circumstantial reports appearing in the Press of the far-reaching character of some of the demands. British subjects both here and in the East, being friends of both countries, learnt with great satisfaction of the conclusion of an agreement between the two Governments. It is true that certain points are reserved for future discussion, but there is good reason to believe that Japan is well aware of the importance of the principles laid down in her Treaties, and that in any future discussion she will not depart from the policy she has repeatedly declared it her intention to uphold.\n\nAt the siege of Kiao-chow Japan gave a much-needed lesson in chivalry and humanity to Germany when she gave ample time and opportunity for the women and children and non-combatants to leave the fortress before beginning the bombardment, and I think we may rely upon Japan maintaining the highest standard of honour in regard to any engagements to which she has attached her signature.\n\nMembers will have been glad to learn that the long outstanding question of Shanghai Settlement Extension has at last been satisfactorily dealt with. Every friend of China hopes that the arrangement will result in the total disappearance of the friction which has so often prevailed in the relations between the municipality and the local Chinese authorities. The Chinese are as deeply interested as foreigners in the prosperity of Shanghai, and they have now an opportunity of working together in friendly co-operation for the general welfare which may prove invaluable, if they will only take advantage of it in the right spirit.\n\nYou will notice in the Appendix a lengthy correspondence on the subject of trading with the enemy—a matter which is still under discussion. The Committee believe that in taking it up they have the support not only of all British subjects in China, but that an overwhelming majority in this country of those who have considered the question also agree with them.\n\nApart altogether from German hatred of England, apart from German fiendish brutality in war, from the fact that it has been necessary to expel Germans from Singapore and Hongkong, apart from the virulent and mischievous propaganda they have carried on against us in China, from the fact that German merchants at Shanghai have collectively resolved to do everything in their power to injure British interests in China, from pitiable incidents like their celebration in Tientsin of the sinking of the Lusitania carried on until 6 o'clock in the morning, and, apart from the natural repugnance to having any dealings with enemies of our country, we think it is a bad policy in our own interest to help Germans to maintain their commercial position in China, as we have been doing for the last ten months.\n\nThe Board of Trade has expressed the opinion that in the national interest it is undesirable that British subjects should trade with Germans in China during the war. The Prize Court at Alexandria has decided that as Germans in China are only amenable to German law, they cannot claim a neutral domicile in that country, but are in the same legal position as Germans resident in German territory. Yet under the Trading with the Enemy Act, British subjects are not only permitted, but the declared undesirability notwithstanding, they are almost encouraged to trade with German firms in China, on the plea that a German is not an enemy if he lives outside German territory. Germans have gone so far in the past as to claim that their concessions in China are German territory, but our law ignores their claim.\n\nFOR AND AGAINST TRADING WITH GERMANS IN CHINA.\n\nThe arguments in favour of permitting trading with alien enemies in China are mainly (1) That our Allies have not prohibited their nationals from trading with Germans; (2) That German trade marks on British goods would lose their value if they were withdrawn from the Chinese markets, and that therefore British goods shipped under those German marks would lose their market; (3) that the same volume of trade with China could not be carried on if German firms were prohibited from getting supplies in England, as British firms alone could not overtake the whole British trade with China.\n\nAs regards our Allies not co-operating, the Committee at first agreed that this might be a disadvantage to some British shipping and banking interests, but of late freights have advanced enormously, and there has been more difficulty in getting ships to carry the cargo than in getting cargo to fill the ships, so that this objection no longer has the same weight that it formerly may have had. Further, we notice that France has recently prohibited trading with the enemy in China. The French have no doubt about Germans out there being enemies.\n\nAs to other reasons, it may be quite true that German trade marks would lose their value if withdrawn from the Chinese market; but if buyers in China could not get British goods under German trade marks they would soon get the goods they wanted under British marks. From the strong representation made by all our branches in China, we are quite satisfied that there is no sound foundation for the statement that British firms are not capable of overtaking the whole British trade with China without the participation in it of German firms. There would, perhaps, be some change in the method of carrying on the trade, but it would be a healthy change, and one beneficial to British interests generally in China.\n\nQuite recently some very remarkable and interesting information has been received about the way in which the German trade is conducted in China, but the information has not been thoroughly investigated, and I am unable to lay it before you to-day. The Committee will follow the matter up, and perhaps at some later date will be able to communicate further information on the subject to you. The Committee hope that in the light of later information the present Government may see their way to take more whole-hearted action in connection with trading with the enemy in China than appeared advisable to their predecessors.\n\nYou will see in the report that we have taken a hand in correcting the misrepresentations spread in China by our enemies, and we hope the Chinese translation of our pamphlet will be widely circulated. Before concluding I would offer our condolence to those of our members at home and in China who have suffered irreparable losses and have to endure prolonged anxiety from this terrible war. Some of our number have been called upon to make the heaviest sacrifices, and I hope it may be some little consolation to those in far distant China to know that their old friends at home feel deep and heartfelt sympathy with them.\n\nWith these few remarks I beg to propose that the report and accounts be received and adopted. (Applause.)\n\nMr. G. B. Dodwell seconded the motion, which was carried.\n\nMEMBERS' QUESTIONS.\n\nThe Chairman intimating that he would be pleased to answer any questions, Mr. Hanson asked whether the Chairman could assure the members present that none of those unpatriotic British firms who were trading with Germans in China were represented on the General Committee to be elected.\n\nMr. H. Salinger remarked that the Government had already expressed the opinion that it was undesirable to trade with the enemy, and he thought this was the general wish of the Association and the commercial communities trading with China. If traders were not sufficiently patriotic to take note of this opinion, he urged the Committee to bring stronger pressure to bear upon the Government to prohibit all trading with Germans in China.\n\nMr. F. G. Sale inquired if the Committee had any information as to the attitude of the Japanese Government in this matter.\n\nReplying to these questions, the Chairman said with regard to Mr. Hanson's query that the Committee did not know of any of their members who were trading with Germans, and they hoped sincerely that none of them were. In reply to Mr. Salinger's remarks, he said that they had done all they could to bring the matter to the notice of the Foreign Office, and a small deputation had attended a meeting at the Board of Trade at which this question was exhaustively discussed with representatives of Chambers of Commerce and other prominent people connected with the Far East. He did not know what was the nature of the steps Mr. Salinger suggested should be taken, other than what they were doing, but if he had any definite suggestion to make they would be glad to consider it. As regards the question whether they had received any answer from Japan, he might say that they had received no direct information, but they understood that the Government were endeavouring to get their Allies united with them in this matter. He did not know of any answer that may have been received from Japan.\n\nELECTION OF OFFICERS.\n\nThe Chairman proposed and Mr. Byron Brenan seconded that Mr. G. Jamieson be re-elected President of the Association. This was carried unanimously.\n\nOn the motion of Mr. Jamieson, seconded by Mr. C. H. Ross, Mr. F. Anderson was re-elected Chairman of Committee, Mr. R. H. Hill vice-chairman, and Mr. R. Chatterton Wilcox hon. treasurer. The following General Committee was then appointed on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. F. J. Abbott—Bacon Inchcape of Strathnaver, G.C.M.G., K.C.I.E., Sir Claude Macdonald, Rt. Hon.

We do not expect that you will agree with our views in the present state of your feelings and in view of the solidarity of German patriotism which, but for its possible dangers, is truly magnificent.\n\nWe cannot, however, allow our own feelings to be misinterpreted, not even by our \"friends the enemy,\" because there are many amongst them whom we esteem and the friendship with whom must not be broken because Governments declare war.\n\nWe trust that, after the war, also you will recognise that even if one does not share the opinions of the other it would be unnatural, if not insincere, not to refer to matters which are uppermost in everybody's mind!\"\n\nAmsterdam, 11th January, 1915.\n\nI\n\n\"......... From a copy of a Tientsin letter, I observe that our friends are thoroughly indignant and rightly so at your remarks, which, I believe, are similar to those in your letter to Shanghai of the 11th September last to Y...'s firm.\n\nPersonally, I do not believe that any person, unless quite demented or utterly demoralised to such a degree as to be unable to distinguish between right and wrong or between honest truth and criminal hypocrisy, can seriously concur with your opinion on the matter or with the remarks made by you.........\n\nLondon, EC., 19th January, 1915.\n\nAs to your query about our letter to your Tientsin friends, if you will refer to my letter to you\n\n6\n\nof the 27th September, I gave you a very long extract of that very letter, quite five pages of it.\n\nYou rightly assume that it also contained a reference to the matter you now write about, which did not however appear to me of sufficient importance to further extend that long extract.\n\nWe were deploring—in the mutual interest—what to us appeared to be a result of the dangerous doctrines of a certain class of people who upset thereby our mutual business, and the letter dealt exclusively with the result of such upsettal. That is the only time we wrote about this, as we have surely something better to do than discuss politics in business letters.\n\nY..., for his personal glorification, drew quite wrong conclusions from an obviously friendly business letter and we bear with equanimity any prospective harm his action may do us; namely to circulate to all and sundry his reply to this private letter of ours. What vainglorious if not malicious foolishness! That his action will harm us in the eyes of sensible people, we do not believe unless our intentions are wilfully misconstrued.\n\nAt any rate, I myself prefer to be consistent. I can sail under one flag only and cannot simulate the contrary, neither can you. You also know that I am the last man to sacrifice old friends, that I always speak up for them and their interests. They should therefore not mind if I also express views which they may not hold about matters on which there are surely more opinions than one.\n\nAs to the mere business aspect, if Y.'s firm wants to do business with England after the war—and I think they will—an English firm, even\n\nmore than before, will be better able to represent them and to buy more advantageously for them.\n\nWe have, of course, eliminated his firm from our intentions in this regard.\"\n\n7\n\n1\n\n: \n\nL",

Selby Moore to China Association.\n\n7, Union Court, London, EC.\n\n28th August, 1914.\n\nI beg to bring to the notice of your Committee the fact that the Cable Companies will not now accept messages at \"deferred\" rates for the Far East.\n\nWhile merchants are making every effort to carry on their business on more or less normal lines, they have not only to contend with the suppression of one of the greatest aids to modern business, the unlimited use of cypher messages, but are denied the alleviation of sending their plain language messages at \"deferred\" rates.\n\nThe Government has given good proof of their desire to keep and foster our overseas trade, and while it is no doubt desirable that for the present only plain language messages be sent, at least I think we might expect a continuance of half-rates for \"deferred\" messages.\n\nI am sure the Committee will see the desirability of using all their influence to facilitate the sending of messages to the Far East at as low a rate as possible.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nC. SELBY MOORE.\n\nThe Secretary, China Association,\n\n99, Cannon Street, E.C.\n\nChina Association to Foreign Office.\n\nChina Association,\n\nSIR,\n\n99, Cannon Street, E.C.,\n\n18th September, 1914.\n\nI have the honour, by direction of my Committee, to enclose for your information copy of a telegram received from the Hongkong Branch of this Association urging that the Cable Companies be pressed to grant reduced rates for commercial messages to and from the Far East unless some modified use of cypher messages can be authorised.\n\nThe text of this message will be found in the letter from Hongkong, dated 17th September, page 18.\n\nRepresentations have also been made to the Association by individual firms, pointing out that the cost of telegraphing en clair including names and addresses is practically prohibitive and is a serious handicap on business. It has been suggested that deferred telegrams at reduced rates might be accepted, but we understand that the objection to this on the part of the Cable Companies is that for the present at least in view of the amount of official matter passing over the cables it would be physically impossible to transmit such deferred messages within any definite time.\n\nIn view of the foregoing my Committee would respectfully suggest that the time has come when coded messages to the Far East, say, Hongkong and the Treaty Ports of China, might be permitted without detriment to the public interest, or if it is not deemed advisable to make such permission general, a discrimination might be made in favour of Firms of standing who are known to have regular business relations with their branches in Hongkong and China.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nH.M. Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.\n\n(Signed) F. ANDERSON,\n\nChairman.\n\nThe following Note and Memorandum of an Interview were circulated during October, 1914, to Members of the Association for their information.\n\nTELEGRAPH RATES.\n\nAt the beginning of September a complaint was received from a member of the Association that the Cable Companies had discontinued acceptance of messages at \"deferred\" rates, the consequence being that business with China was much restricted on account of the expense of telegraphing in plain words at full rates.\n\nThe assistance of the Association was sought with a view to obtaining, at an early date, the restoration of \"deferred\" rates.\n\nIt was ascertained, upon inquiry, that the reason for the suspension of deferred facilities was that the tremendous volume of Government work, which of course took priority, had made it temporarily impossible for the Cable Companies to accept \"deferred\" messages; but they expressed a hope that within a reasonable period, they would be able to restore the deferred facilities.\n\nA few days later, however, the Association received a wire from the Hongkong Branch urging that unless cypher messages could be authorised the Cable Companies should be asked to accept reduced rates. This message was forwarded to the Foreign Office under covering letter (dated the 18th September) of which the following is the final paragraph:—\n\n\"My Committee would respectfully suggest that the time has come when coded messages to the Far East, say, Hongkong and the Treaty Ports of China might be permitted without detriment to the public interest, or if it is not deemed advisable to make such permission general, a discrimination might be made in favour of Firms of standing who are known to have regular business relations with their branches in Hongkong and China.\"\n\n452",

The Court held, that under extra-territoriality Germans cannot acquire a Chinese domicile either personal or commercial, and must be treated as having a German domicile, in other words, that they were in the same position as Germans living and trading in Germany.\n\nIf the Prize Court at Alexandria is correct in its interpretation of the law, it seems to follow that all Germans in China are alien enemies and cannot invoke the neutrality of China to cover their trading.\n\nIn that case it is submitted that all dealings between them and British subjects, which have already been declared to be undesirable, have been, from the date of the King's Proclamation, and remain, illegal and prohibited,\n\nMy Committee request that this view of the case may be laid before the Board of Trade as supplementary to what was said at the recent Conference on behalf of the Association.\n\nH.M. Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Office, Downing Street, S.W.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nF. ANDERSON, Chairman.\n\nChina Association to Foreign Office.\n\n79\n\nOur Tientsin Committee have again urged that this question of trading with the enemy in China should be reconsidered by His Majesty's Government, and they express the opinion strongly held by British subjects in China, that trading should be prohibited even if that course involved a sacrifice on the part of certain British traders. My Committee are satisfied that prohibition would involve no sacrifice for the trade of the country as a whole, and if some temporary dislocation of the channels through which a portion of the trade has passed should arise, from eliminating Germans, the eventual result will be to place the trade between this country and China on a sounder basis.\n\nThe whole question has recently been re-opened at a meeting of representatives summoned by the President of the Board of Trade on the 4th instant, when those who advocate the continuance of business with Germans in China, as if a state of war did not exist, had an opportunity of putting forward their case; my Committee hope that the discussion at that meeting will result in a modification of the attitude towards this question hitherto taken by His Majesty's Government.\n\nAs bearing further on this matter, my Committee learn that on the 13th of this month the New York Eastern Conference of British shipping lines, decided not to carry any enemy merchandise in their steamers from Manila, China, Japan or the Straits Settlements to America. This decision brings about the somewhat anomalous state of affairs that while Germans in the Far East are restricted to comparatively few American and Japanese steamers for carrying on their trade with America, they still have every facility from British shipping lines for trading with the United Kingdom.\n\nMy Committee would respectfully urge that as this question has now been under consideration for an extended period definite steps should be taken shortly to prohibit further trading with the enemy in China during the continuance of the war.\n\nChina Association,\n\nSIR,\n\n99, Cannon Street, London, EC.\n\n17th May, 1915.\n\nI have the honour to enclose copy of another telegram from Tientsin on the subject of trading with the enemy, as follows:-\n\nLocal feeling regards it as imperative to cut off all business with Germans, even at a sacrifice which should be noted is not confined to Manchester urge all possible further effort secure stringent legislation to stop German trade without delay, German misrepresentations directed from German concession with the object of undermining British position in China, becoming increasingly active virulent lying and dangerous.\n\nH.M.

I caused him and other Unofficial Members to be informed that I could not accept the amendment because Military Contribution is imposed by law; because no special taxation had been imposed to or was to be imposed for the service of the loan; and because the question had not been raised when the offer of the gift for which the Bill provided was made to the Imperial Government.

        "content_text": "# GOVERNMENT HOUSE. HONGKONG.\n## 16th. November, 1916.\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 196 of the 9th. August and your telegram of the 2nd. November regarding the taking of steps for the control of ship-building and ship-repairing facilities in Hongkong.\n\n2. I enclose copies of correspondence with the two leading Dockyard Companies of the Colony, in which they make representations to the effect that any embargo upon the repair of neutral ships will be greatly to the detriment of Hongkong, while they emphasize the point that a large part of the material required for such repairs comes from America.\n\n3. It is undoubtedly the case that the local yards have capacity for considerably more work than that offering; and the labour employed, though perhaps some of it might be diverted for military purposes elsewhere, would probably for the most part betake itself to neighbouring ports, if there was no longer sufficient inducement in Hongkong.\n\n4. It will be seen from the third enclosure to this Despatch that the Companies have been informed that this Government is generally in sympathy with the view that the work of ship-building and ship-repairing for neutrals should not be interfered with, unless such interference will secure a direct benefit to Imperial interests; and, as regards ship-repairing,\n\nThey say Companies that they cannot get enough work for British owners to occupy their building & repairing resources fully. It would certainly seem desirable that these resources, in so far as they are not required for British ships, should be employed as fully as possible on neutral work. Sorry of course as no important policy of land is prejudiced. The policy probably has two objects: \n| Object | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | to prevent neutral owners getting facilities which are harder for British owners. |\n| 2 | to blackmail neutral owners into putting their ships into trades necessary for our purposes. |\n\nThe second may prevent us from allowing neutrals...\n\n`BT 34910`\n`ENP 14418`\n`REC? 61789 15`\n`REG 260EC16`\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nANDREW BONAR LAW, M.P.,\n&C.,\n&C.,\n&C...",

My Committee would probably be very glad to obtain this property. We understand from our secretary, Archdeacon Barnett, who is now in this country, that he imagines that the Government has decided that all German property in the Colony is to be sold and their affairs liquidated.\n\nWhile we shall be very glad to acquire this property if Germans are not to be allowed to live in Hong Kong any more, yet we should be unwilling to do so if there is any possibility of the Rhenish Mission returning in the near future. We have always worked on friendly terms with them and no Church Missionary Society would like to do anything",

Sir,\n\nMr. Balfour to Mr. Alston.\n\nForeign Office, September 6, 1917.\n\nWITH reference to your despatch No. 172 of the 9th June last and your telegram No. 339 of the 26th July last regarding the export of cocaine and morphia from the United Kingdom to China, I transmit you herewith statements of the quantities of these drugs exported and re-exported from the United Kingdom to China and Japan, from which you will see that no cocaine or morphia is being sent at present from the United Kingdom to China direct. It seems, therefore, unnecessary to adopt any further measure regarding the export of these drugs from the United Kingdom to China, since, as a matter of fact, that export has ceased.\n\nWith regard to the exports from the United Kingdom to Japan, His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokyo, in his note of the 9th July to which you refer in your telegram No. 339, unfortunately omitted to inform the Japanese Government that His Majesty's Government propose to restrict licences to export cocaine as well as morphia. He has now been instructed to do so, but some time must necessarily elapse before an answer can be received from the Japanese Government, and, in the meantime, it has been considered advisable to license the export of both drugs to Japan in the same way as hitherto—that is, licences to export have not been refused, unless such refusal could be based on the requirements of this country.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nA. J. BALFOUR,\n\n• Not printed.\n\n[2729 ƒ-1]",

EC.3.\n\nI had an interview with the above named to confirm his statement on oath long ago (Colonial naturalization).\n\nIn the course of the interview I found from L. 1375 of 18th Oct. Laws Ord. (Schedule to Colonial Naturalisation in Hong Kong Ord. 9/01) that Fredericks obtained Colonial naturalisation in Hong Kong in 1893.\n\nFredericks stated that he had changed his name in S. Africa and that he had cabled to H.M. the fact. He also produced evidence to show that we had recognised that he had lived in the Colony.\n\nAll we can do now is to wait for their reply, but if they don't reply within a reasonable time, we should press for an early reply.\n\nThe above named was in the service of this Bank from October 1901 until October 1902 when he left us. He rejoined our service in September 1903 and remained with us until November 1909. Again he was re-engaged in February 1910 and remained with us until June 1916. You will observe, therefore, that with the exception of two periods, he was with us for nearly 15 years and during that time his conduct was quite satisfactory.\n\nAs you are aware, he joined the South African Light Horse and was wounded at Colenso - he was invalided home and returned to South Africa as a Commissioned Officer, finally resigning in August 1901. Before coming to us he was, I believe, a Shipping Clerk for 4 years in Hongkong, and he also had visited New Zealand.\n\nI hope this information may help towards securing a passport for Fredericks to leave this country, I suggest that...\n\nSee also letter from A.

THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT - With reference to Financial Minute No. 63 (covering a sum of $151,039.70 for legal expenses) I should like to explain to the Council the manner in which the Government became liable for this expenditure. The expenditure in question represents the costs incurred by the Government owing to their intervention in an action originally commenced by the Official Receiver under the Companies Ordinances, i.e., O.J. Action No. 61 of 1914. The case first came directly to the notice of the Government in the form of a representation to the effect that the Official Receiver, owing to lack of funds, was unable to continue the proceedings. It was pointed out that, in consequence of the extraordinary length of the proceedings, the shareholder who was providing the funds for the Official Receiver had, in supporting the winding up proceedings and the action, already spent a considerable fortune and the whole of his resources.\n\nMR.

Olitsky, M.R.C., U.S.A., of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT, CLAUD SEVERN, C.M.G.\n\nH.E. THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT- I do not intend on this occasion to deal in any exhaustive way with the very interesting and instructive report written by Lieutenant Olitsky as a result of his investigations of the outbreak of epidemic Meningitis in Hongkong in the early part of this year which has been laid before you to-day. I think, however, that honourable members will agree that the Colony is indebted to Lieutenant Olitsky for the painstaking care with which he studied, during quite a short period, conditions entirely new to him with the result that he has been able to give some very practical advice as to how this threat to the public health may best be met.\n\nThe portion of the report that will appeal most strongly to the ordinary reader is that contained on pages 9 to 10, namely, the course of the epidemic and the factors contributing to its dissemination, especially the facts as regards overcrowding on pages 9 and 10. I feel sure that honourable members will realise what the work entailed in getting rid of such overcrowding, quite apart from the expenditure, would amount to. The task of correcting the errors of the past will, however, have to be faced if the community is to be protected against serious epidemics of disease. In this connection, I would direct attention to the interesting comparison on page 16 of the report between the overcrowding in Hongkong and Canton and to the statement in paragraph C (1) of the summary on page 21 that the greater number of cases developed in cold weather as compared with hot weather is due to overcrowding becoming greater, and the effect of cold weather on the meningococci.\n\n### PRESENT:\n\nHON. MR. A. G. M. FLETCHER (Colonial Secretary).\nHON. MR. J. H. KEMP (Attorney-General).\nHON. MR. A. M. THOMSON (Colonial Treasurer).\nHON. MR. T. L. PERKINS (Director of Public Works).\nHON. MR. E. R.

As all letters have to pass the censorship in England, I am taking the liberty of passing through your hands the enclosed letters to Messrs. Pauling and Co., with the request that after perusal you will kindly forward them to the office at 26, Victoria Street.\n\nI am enclosing a duplicate copy of my memorandum to the Secretary of State, so you may retain it. My one desire in placing this situation so forcibly before the Secretary was to invite his attention to a situation that should be faced, and have taken the liberty of presenting certain phases of the situation to him from the British and French viewpoint, which obviously cannot be voiced at this time. I may add that these thoughts and ideas have not in any way been made the subject of newspaper discussion, nor is it my intention at this time to make any public reference to them.\n\nI want you to believe that I have done all in my power to invite attention to the situation in China, which now demands a solution through some basis of honourable and equitable co-operation, as the one most effective means of straightening out the unpleasant tangle. I am preparing a critical analysis of the situation precipitated by the activities of the American International Corporation, and will see that you receive a copy of the same.\n\nI simply invite your attention to the fact that, independently and unofficially, I have requested Mr. Donald, at Peking, to place the full situation before Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who, as leader of the majority party in Parliament, can bring about the suspension of the American contract, pending public discussion of the terms and their extension to all of China's contracts. This must come in due time, and I take it that it is better for the Chinese themselves to accept the change in conditions and provide for increased terms to others than have this made the subject of diplomatic pressure. At any rate, if Sun acts on my advice, it will bring the Americans face to face with the question of co-operation, which they are now shirking because they got \"in bad.\"\n\nI remain, &c.\n\nGEO. BRONSON REA.\n\n### Enclosure in No. 1\n\n**Memorandum: A Temporary Solution of China's Railway Problems**\n\n(Respectfully submitted to the Honorable Secretary of State, June 23, 1917.)\n\nIn view of the expected visit of a Japanese War Mission to this country, scheduled to arrive some time in August, and the certainty that the future of China must form one of the most important topics for discussion and adjustment, I beg to submit the following suggestions for a temporary solution of the problems, pending final decision on the status of China at the post-bellum Peace Conference.\n\nYou are familiar with the details of the present international political tangle in China precipitated by the American International Corporation in accepting a railway contract which raised the issue of the open door with the four Allies—Great Britain, France, Russia, and Japan—at the same time, and you will sense the fact that, notwithstanding the unquestioned purity of motives on the part of the American Corporation in this time of intense national feelings, the Allies have good reason to suspect that the issue was raised for the purpose of advancing the interests of Germany. As the State Department has publicly placed itself on record that, for over four months, it had no official knowledge of the details of this contract, or of other subsequent activities of the American International Corporation, this throws the responsibility for raising the issue upon the officials of the corporation.\n\nPage 150 \n[148542]\n[2712 ec-1]",

Mr. Coleman, to whom I wrote last week, will be able to show you copies of this paper. We have now 150 subscribers at 20 dollars each a month. We have now arranged for our translation bureau, and on the 1st of November shall issue this news in Chinese to the Chinese press. All the papers in Hong Kong, six in number, have agreed to our terms. The Canton press has sent messengers to ask when we shall be ready to supply them. There will be little difficulty in getting at least 20 of the Canton papers to come in on the same terms. The terms are that we supply them with a telegraphic service translated into Chinese and ready for publication, free of all cost, and in return they give us space for articles written by us dealing with the War. Dr. Darroch, in Shanghai, is now translating Mr. Coleman's articles, and these will be published in the space given to us in return for our free telegraphic service.\n\nWe have engaged as translator a man who was at one time connected with the \"Seventy Two Guilds Newspaper\", the leading vernacular paper in Canton. He is in touch with the Canton press and understands not only translation but also newspaper work.\n\n## \n\n4. I may mention that at my request, M. Picard Destelan, the Co-Director General of Chinese Posts, has granted us the privilege of posting everything connected with Allied Propaganda unstamped, provided that it is posted in the Hong Kong Post Office. In this way, we have been able to relieve Shanghai of a considerable bill for postage.\n\n5. Mr. S.V. Tao has just written an account of the War for translation into Chinese. This is a most excellent work, and the Committee is about to publish it in both English and Chinese. I will supply you with copies when the book is issued.\n\n6. In conclusion, I should like to mention the splendid work done by Mr. S.W. Two in training our lecturers, and the work done by Mr. J.P. Braga, Reuter's Agent in Hong Kong, in connection with our Daily Bulletin.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\n**SGD. J.B.C. Ross, Postmaster General**",

When such letters are passed by the Post Office of origin without any marking, although unpaid, they will be delivered free.\n\nThe decision whether the troops in the garrisons of His Majesty's dominions overseas are to have the privilege of sending their letters for the United Kingdom free of postage will thus rest with the local Governments; and the Postmaster General sees no objection to the concession granted.\n\n**Under Secretary of State, COLONIAL OFFICE.**",

I am afraid, however, that in these abnormal times it would not be possible to get any responsible financial group to guarantee capital for a proposition, no matter how attractive, when the date when the capital could be made use of, is indefinite. Further, assuming that it was permitted to raise the necessary capital now, the capitalists would certainly have to be satisfied that the construction of the tramway could be commenced within one year and completed within three years, in order to secure the capital provided, and therein lies a difficulty because in view of the shortage of material necessary for the construction",

It might be a name or a term specific to a context not provided.\n   - \"Phlessage\" likely should be \"Telegram\" or a related term, given the context.\n   - \"Clerk's Name\" is a label and should be left as is or formatted according to Markdown rules if necessary.\n   - \"LEADENHALL STREET, EQ\" should be \"LEADENHALL STREET, E.C.\" to match the postal code format used elsewhere.\n   - \"MINCING LANE, EO\" should be \"MINCING LANE, E.C.\" for the same reason.\n   - \"MARK LANE, EC.\" should be consistent with other postal codes, so \"MARK LANE, E.C.\"\n   - \"Holborn Viaduct, E.G.\" should be \"Holborn Viaduct, E.C.\" to correct the postal code.\n   - \"Chapelur a\" is unclear and might be a misrecognition; it could be \"Chapelier\" or another term, but without context, it's speculative.\n   - \"traitanty\" is likely a misrecognition and could be \"travelling\" or another word; \"assistant engineers\" context suggests it might relate to a job or position requirement.\n   - \"coder\" is likely a misrecognition; given the context, it might be \"code\" or another term related to safety or standards.\n   - \"dsidion\" is likely \"decision\".\n   - \"apply\" was corrected from \"uply\".\n\n2. **Formatting and Markdown**:\n   - The original task requested HTML output using `` for paragraphs. The response is already in this format.\n\n3. **Other Rules**:\n   - File references and page numbering are not directly relevant here as there are no clear file references to correct and no \"Page XX\" lines.\n\nGiven these considerations, the corrected HTML output remains largely the same as the original output because the task was to output in HTML, and the corrections are mostly related to spelling and minor adjustments which have been considered:\n\nDrevy Ship Quyu\n\nTelegram Forman 8/17.)\n\n62\n\nTHE EASTERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY, LIMITED.\n\nClerk's Name.\n\nISSUED FROM\n\n41 & 42, PARLIAMENT STREET W,\n\nTo\n\nNo.\n\nREMARKS\n\nBG\n\nELECTRA HOUSE,\n\nFINSBURY PAVEMENT, E.C.\n\n11, OLD BROAD STREET, E.C.\n\n8, LEADENHALL STREET, E.C.\n\n29, MINCING LANE, E.C.

        "content_text": "# Enclosure 1 in No. 17\n## Consul Smith to Sir J. Jordan\n\nHangehow, May 10, 1914.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit herewith a report on the journey which I was instructed to take for the purpose of investigating into the cultivation of the opium poppy in this province (Chekiang).\n\nA map showing roughly the route followed accompanies the report.*\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. L. SMITH.\n\n# Enclosure 2 in No. 17\n## Report on Opium Inspection Journey in Chekiang during April and May 1914\n\nTHE opium inspection party consisted of Messrs. Yen Ho-ling, Hsu Te-pen, deputies representing the Central Government; Hau Wei-san, head of the Opium Eradication Bureau at Hangchow, appointed by the Civil Governor of Chekiang; and myself. Mr. Hsu Wei-san brought with him a staff of two clerks, an interpreter, and several other people. In addition, the magistrate in whose jurisdiction we might happen to be usually met and escorted us through his district, accompanied not infrequently by local police and opium officials. Numerous soldiers and police, varying from fifteen or twenty to on one occasion at least 100, also accompanied us at different stages of the journey; in addition were a large number of chair-bearers and carriers.\n\nOn one occasion, at an early stage of the journey, the procession was so large that we only made an easy journey of 20 miles, stopping for the night at 4 P.M., when a smaller party could easily have gone 10 miles further on - this we were precluded from doing owing to lack of sufficient accommodation at any reasonable distance. I then complained strongly at the size of our party, and while so many people were agreeing to stop on the particular occasion, stated that in future I would simply go on with my servants and luggage until we had covered a reasonable distance for the day, leaving my colleagues to follow or not as they pleased. The useless members of Mr. Hsu's staff were then sent back to Hangchow, and the retinue considerably reduced. Matters improved after this, and though the party was unnecessarily large throughout, we were not seriously impeded, but a smaller party could probably have made more progress.\n\nThe party travelled in chairs and on foot, nothing else being possible for most of the journey.\n\nThe inspection party assembled at Ningpo and left that place on the 10th April by Chinese gunboat for Hsiang Shan, touching at Ting Hai en route to wait for the tide. We did not inspect any of the islands in the Chusan archipelago, but Père Procacci, of the local Roman Catholic Mission, who was constantly travelling in them, told me that there was no opium to be found anywhere this year.\n\nLeaving Hsiang Shan city, where the effective part of the journey began, on the 11th April, we crossed the peninsula to Ssu Chou-tsun. Hsiang Shan opium was formerly known as being of a particularly fine quality, though the production was not comparatively on a very large scale. Having visited some of the hills in the neighbourhood of Ssu Chou-tsun, we proceeded by junk across San Men Wan to Hai Yu So, landing at one island on the way, and being able to inspect portions of numerous others near which we passed with glasses. From here we made our way, partly by main road and partly by circuitous by-paths, to Taichow. Hence we proceeded to Wu Yen, and by by-roads to Ta Ching-ying. We then struck westwards, and finally reached what seems to be an old, but now disused, main road from Wenchow to Taichow at Feng Lin. There were no inns on the route, no large towns, and the few wayfarers were merely local country people going from one village to another. From Sha Tou we took boat to Wenchow, travelling by night to economise time.\n\nThe whole of this section of the journey was exceedingly mountainous, passes of 2,000 to 3,000 feet having to be crossed constantly. These enabled one to obtain excellent and extensive views of secluded cultivation on hilltops.\n\nThe prefectures of Taichow and Wenchow, through portions of which the above-described route passed, are those in which opium used to be most largely cultivated in former times, and missionaries at both places, who travelled largely in the surrounding country, told me that they had not seen the plant anywhere this season. The above journey occupied nine days, some 760 li (253 miles) being covered. Of this the distance by water crossing San Men Bay was 180 li (60 miles).\n\nFrom Wenchow the party went by Chinese gunboat to Jui An, visiting Tung Huang Shan en route. A number of other islands were also passed, the cultivation on which I had a good opportunity of examining with glasses. I was recommended to visit Tung Huang Shan, the island being a hotbed of pirates, and being shunned by the authorities on that account.\n\nI am told that cultivation of the poppy only began a few years ago on these islands. They are not well adapted to growing opium, and only commenced to do so when the rigour with which the drug was being put down on the mainland enabled their seclusion to be turned to profitable account.\n\nThis journey occupied the best part of two days, and a distance of some 240 li (80 miles) was covered.\n\nFrom Jui An the party proceeded to Ping Yang, where it appears the magistrate has had great difficulty in suppressing opium this year. No opium was grown in the plains, but a fairly determined attempt it would seem was made to do so in the hills, where the clans are turbulent and pay little attention to the authorities. Even here, however, little field cultivation was attempted, farmers generally contenting themselves with growing a few plants for the purpose of preserving the seed.\n\nPère Boisard, from whom I derived the above information, told me that the magistrate had made himself a veritable scourge of the people in the matter of suppression - not entirely from altruistic motives. During the past two months he had inflicted fines to the extent of some 50,000 dollars, of which he kept two-thirds for himself. In order to increase his profits he had been employing men to go round with opium plants and place them in the fields of unoffending farmers. Shortly afterwards they would be followed by soldiers who would hale the unfortunate cultivator before the magistrate.\n\nFive men had been shot for growing opium, and 100 houses in the neighbourhood were burnt down. Père Boisard had good reason for believing that the men were innocent, and that no opium had been grown in the place. The magistrate's harshness and injustice in the matter generally had made him so unpopular that gentry and people alike were working to obtain his dismissal. He had offered 2 dollars for each plant brought to him, and the day previous to my arrival country people had brought over 1,000 to the yamên. They had, however, been sent away without any reward whatever. These reports were on Chinese information, but Père Boisard believed them to be true.\n\nWhile I was with Père Boisard I heard that a man had some plants of opium which he had brought into the city. If there was opium I wished to see it with my own eyes, and I therefore offered to purchase it. Considerable difficulty was made as it was given out among the Chinese that anyone assisting me would be shot; finally, with the assistance of Père Boisard and through the smartness of one of my servants, I obtained one plant and three rootlets for 20 dollars. I did not see the man, who would give no information beyond the fact that they had been taken from some twenty plants which a man had grown (and since pulled up) within 10 miles of Ping Yang. The plant was a stunted specimen, but was fresh enough to show that it must have been grown in the neighbourhood. I told the officials with me of the episode and showed them the plant when I was a couple of days from Ping Yang. An attempt to procure a guide to show me opium growing was quite fruitless.\n\nPère Boisard did not think, however, that I should find anything beyond a few plants growing in different places in the whole district - cultivation on any larger scale had, in his opinion, ceased. Acting on his suggestion, I made for Ching Ning direct from Ping Yang by a route which he gave me. The first day's journey, an easy one through the plain, was on main roads, but I visited some hills off the track to look for opium.\n\nOn the second day we entered stiff mountain country, where we took the wrong direction and did not discover our mistake for half a day. Being unwilling to retrace our steps, and the roads being right off the main track, we tried to find another way to Ching Ning. En route the villagers, who travel little, could not direct us for more than 10 or 15 miles beyond where they lived; finally, after struggling forward for two days without getting any definite information of the route, we decided to make for Tai Shun, whence we proceeded to Ching Ning and on...",

With regard to the proposal to prevent banks registered in Hong Kong from issuing notes outside the jurisdiction of the Colony, I am advised that the fact of registration may not be taken as a guarantee of financial position is quite unreasonable; & I should deprecate anything being done which would seem to countenance or encourage it; and so that if other banks are permitted to issue notes in places outside Hong Kong, it would seem undesirable to deprive registered banks of the privilege. The protection of the public in other places in this regard seems a matter for their own domestic legislatures, not for Hong Kong, though it is of course recognised that in the present condition of China, such protection can hardly be other than nugatory.\n\nI shall be glad if you will furnish your observations on the advice given to the Governor of the draft Bill.\n\n**FROM Treasury 1921**\n\n**FOR CIRCULATION:-**  \nIn Relation to Banks  \nMr. Niemeyer  \nMr. J.E.

It is proposed to send them our report by way of reply, if it is approved by the Secretary of State. But we ought first to get the concurrence of the Foreign Office and the Admiralty in this publication of the report.\n\nWe also propose to ask the Hong Kong Government to modify their Regulations so as to remove some of the objections of the Guilds. There should be no difficulty about this as that Government was represented at our Conference.\n\n6.1.25\n\nG.G.\n\n...\n\nThe 5/5\n\nShould I think approve what Mr. Grindle's committee and the consequent action which he proposes in his typewritten minute.\n\nWhen F.O. & Admiralty concurrence has been obtained.\n\nAssociation Minute\n\núv7 18.1.28\n\nTELEPHONE CITY 5856.\n\nCHINA ASSOCIATION.\n\n59907\n\n23 DEC 24\n\n99, CANNON STREET\n\nLONDON, EC 4\n\n22nd December, 1924.\n\nHONGKONG PIRACY REGULATIONS.\n\n153\n\nI enclose herewith copy of a telegram which has been received from the China Association, Shanghai.\n\nAt the moment I am unable to supplement it with details of the Regulations alluded to, but I learn that the Chamber of Commerce at Hongkong and also the China Association at Shanghai have forwarded Report, and that a Minority Report from unofficial members of the special Piracy Committee in Hongkong is now in preparation for despatch to London.\n\nThe Regulations which the Hongkong Government seek to enforce and tighten, entail heavy, and, in some cases, immediate expenditure on shipowners, whilst in the latter's view they are ineffectual. Strong feelings are held locally in support of this opinion, and I would urge that the Hongkong Government be instructed to delay imposing Regulations on shipowners involving additional expenditure until the receipt in London of these various reports when the whole matter can be made subject to an exhaustive examination.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient servant,\n\nH.

Consider increased Naval patrols absolutely essential for adequate protection of British trade in China particularly Southern China. Suitable small patrol boats planned on experience gained during past years could quickly be built here. Please make strongest possible representation on our behalf to all Authorities concerned. The matter is vital to British trade interests in China.' \n\nThis later message affords evidence of the strong sentiments that are held locally and justifies the request put forward in my letter of the 22nd instant. \n\nH.

This resulted in a storm of protest from\n\nmore radical Chinese newspapers. By the good offices of H.M.\n\nConsul-General and the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce\n\nreason was restored on its being explained that authentic\n\ntraffic regulations were in course of preparation and would be\n\npublished in due course. The Chinese General Chamber of Com-\n\nmerce kindly consented to translate these so that our friends\n\nmight see that there was no wish either to restrict unreason-\n\nably the movements of our Chinese neighbours or to hurt their\n\nsusceptibilities. The regulations have now been compiled and\n\ntranslated. We hope that those concerned will allow them a\n\nfair trial as to whether the amenities of Shameen are improved\n\nthereby or not.

Each new Hong brings in a new set of people connected therewith and the traffic on the Central Avenue is truly heavy. Rule 10 being obvious in its meaning, the \"as far as possible\" has been omitted.\n\nRules 7 and 15 are not intended as more than a clear statement of fact and will only hurt the feeling of those who know they have no moral right to make a thoroughfare of Shameen to the detriment of those who have.\n\nRule 6.\n\n+\n\nThe Chinese papers may criticize this para-\n\ngraph but it will be an empty criticism as during the many\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363",

This is incorrect. It is true that Mr. Lloyd acted in this capacity for some considerable time before his departure on leave and will probably resume the duties on his return.\n\nUnder the system in vogue in this Colony the post of Superintendent of Imports and Exports is not one that is substantively held by any officer and therefore the official view of the department can be expressed only by the officer actually performing the duties in Hong Kong.

The position of Imperial and International Communications Limited is that we are primarily interested in the fixed station service. We have not, however, sufficient information regarding the ship-to-shore service and the broadcasting service to enable us to deal adequately with the question. We do not wish to exclude the possibility of taking over all three services. In order to make progress it would be desirable that a representative of the Company should get into touch with the Hong-Kong Government and examine the whole position, and eventually, after communication with home, the same representative could negotiate terms with the Hong-Kong Government. Would the Colonial Office agree to our instructing a representative accordingly, and if so would they inform the Governor of Hong-Kong that we proposed to proceed in this way?\n\nYours sincerely,\nBaner Blackstone\nChairman\n\nTelephone: LONDON WALL 3240.\nRECEIVED 12 SEP 1929,\n62762 18",

Billiter Square.\n\nLondon EC3.\n\n5517\n\n19th June, 1930.\n\nHong Kong Customs Agreement.\n\nWe ventured to write to you on January 29th, urging the importance of a satisfactory settlement between the Colony of Hong Kong and the Chinese Customs, and we are greatly disturbed by the latest news from our people in the East to the effect that a settlement is apparently not even in sight.\n\nIt should not be necessary to emphasize the importance of this agreement to the Colony itself, which has suffered so much in the past from a lack of good relations with China, especially Canton, and will surely continue to suffer, if the source of friction between the two Governments, inherent in the present development of Hong Kong under the increased Chinese tariff as a smuggling centre, is not removed. Apart, moreover, from the purely colonial aspect of the question, there is the far more important matter of Anglo-Chinese relations as a whole and their reactions on British trade with a country, which offers as good a prospect as any other section of our trade of dealing genuinely with unemployment in this country. If the relations between Hong Kong and China are not satisfactory, as they will not be without this agreement, the whole British position suffers.\n\nAt one time the Government of Hong Kong were willing to conclude an agreement with the Customs on certain terms, among which were the inclusion of Articles V & X. The former proposes to give certain privileges to vessels under the British flag, which have not been enjoyed before and to which, in view of their wish to close their inland waters trade to the foreign flag, the Chinese Government will, according to all our definite information and to the best of our own belief, never agree. Even if they would, there is considerable divergence of opinion, whether this clause is a good thing in itself, and we ourselves as British\n\nPage 480\n\nPage 481",

The Association was accordingly asked in July whether it still wished that the petition should be forwarded in view of subsequent developments and on 21st August its reply was received that after careful consideration by its Committee this action was desired.\n\n4.

Be that as it may however, the fall in the value of the dollar hits companies like those, which we manage or are agents for, in every way. It increases all their running expenses, it reduces, if not extinguishes, any profit left and its effect on the trade of China as a whole has been very serious. The present therefore seems to be hardly a suitable time to increase the burdens, which British shipping in the Far East has to bear.\n\nWe are,\nSir,\nYour obedient servants,\n\nCopy to: \nThe Under Secretary of State, \nColonial Office, \nS.W.1.",

Regarding paragraphs 2 and 3 of your letter we note that the Governor has asked that the Company may be pressed to arrive at a decision without delay in regard to taking over the wireless services, and you suggest that if the Company agrees the alterations to the main agreement, suggested in your previous letters, we should proceed with the preparation of the revised draft of the main agreement as soon as possible.\n\n3. As you are aware, the supplementary agreement was originally drafted on the assumption that it would be signed either at the same time or subsequent to the completion of the main agreement.

        "content_text": "## 31\n\n5 \n\nwait for the Judge without certain peril and loss, Justice may be done on them by the Law of Nature, and the same may be there executed by the captors.\" Again in para. 14 he puts the case where \"a pirate at sea assaults a ship but by force is prevented from entering her\" and goes on to distinguish the rule as to accessories at the common law and by the law marine. A somewhat similar definition of a pirate is given by the almost contemporary Italian jurist, Casaregis who wrote in 1670, and says \"Proprie pirata ille dicetur qui sine patentibus alicujus principis ex propria tantum et privata auctoritate per mare discurrit depredante causa.\"\n\nBut in certain trials for piracy held in England under the Act of Henry VIII, a narrower definition of piracy seems to have been adopted.\n\nThus in 1696, the trial of Joseph Dawson took place. It is reported in `State Trials Vol. XIII, col. 451`. The prisoners were indicted for \"feloniously and piratically taking and carrying away from persons unknown a certain ship called the 'Gunsway' upon the high seas ten leagues from the Cape St. John near Surat in the East Indies.\" The court was comprised of Sir Charles Hedges, then Judge in the High Court of Admiralty, Lord Chief Justice Holt, Lord Chief Justice Treby, Lord Chief Baron Ward, and a number of other Judges. Sir Charles Hedges gave the charge to the Grand Jury. In it, he said \"now piracy is only a sea-term for robbery, piracy being a robbery committed within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty. If any man be assaulted within that jurisdiction and his ship or goods violently taken away without legal authority, this is robbery and piracy.\" Dawson's case was described as the sheet anchor for those who contend that robbery is an ingredient of piracy. It must be remembered, however, that every case must be read secundum subjectam materiam and must be held to refer to the facts under dispute.\n\n## 94\n\nIn Dawson's case, the prisoners had undoubtedly committed robbery in their piratical expeditions. The only function of the Chief Judge was to charge the Grand Jury and, in fact, to say to them \"Gentlemen, if you find the prisoners have done these things, then you ought to return a true bill against them.\" The same criticism applies to certain charges given to Grand Juries by Sir Leoline Jenkins (1623-1685), Judge of the Admiralty Court. See the \"Life of Leoline Jenkins,\" vol. I, p. ... . It cannot be suggested that these learned Judges were purporting to give an exhaustive definition of piracy, and a moment's reflection will show that a definition of piracy as sea robbery is both too narrow and too wide. Take one example only. Assume a modern liner with its crew and passengers, say of several thousand aboard, under its national flag, and suppose one passenger robbed another. It would be impossible to contend that such a robbery on the high seas was piracy and that the passenger in question had committed an act of piracy when he robbed his fellow passenger, and was therefore liable to the penalty of death. That is too wide a definition which would embrace all acts of plunder and violence in degree sufficient to constitute piracy simply because done on the high seas. As every crime can be committed at sea, piracy might thus be extended to the whole criminal code. If an act of robbery or murder were committed upon one of the passengers or crew by another in a vessel at sea, the vessel being at the time and continuing under lawful authority, and the offender were secured and confined by the master of the vessel to be taken home for trial, this state of things would not authorise seizure and trial by any nation that chose to interfere or within whose limits the offender might afterwards be found,\" Dana's Wheaton 193, note 83, quoted in Moore's Digest of International Law (Washington 1906) Article \"Piracy,\" p. 953.\n\nBut over and above that, we are not now in the year 1696, but in the year 1934. International law was not crystallised in the 17th century, but is a living and expanding code.\n\nIn his treatise on international law, the English textbook writer Hall (1835-94) says at p. 25 of his preface to the third edition (1889), \"looking back over the last couple of centuries we see international law at the close of each fifty years in a more solid position than that which it occupied at the beginning of the period. Progressively it has taken firmer hold, it has extended its sphere of operation, it has ceased to trouble itself about trivial formalities, it has more and more dared to grapple in detail with the fundamental facts in the relations of States. The area within which it reigns beyond dispute has in that time been infinitely enlarged, and it has been gradually enlarged within the memory of living man.\"\n\nAgain, another example may be given. A body of international law is growing up with regard to aerial warfare and aerial transport, of which Sir Charles Hedges in 1696 could have had no possible idea.\n\nA definition of piracy which appears to limit the term to robbery on the high seas was put forward by that eminent authority Hale (1609-76), in his \"Pleas of the Crown\" Ed. 1737, cap 27, p. 305, where he states, \"it is out of the question that piracy by the statute is robbery.\" It is not surprising that subsequent definitions proceed on these lines.\n\nHawkins (1673-1746) \"Pleas of the Crown\" (1716), 7th Ed., 1795, vol. 1, defines a pirate rather differently, at p. 267, \"a pirate is one who to enrich himself either by surprise or open force sets upon merchants or others trading by the sea to spoil them of their goods or treasure.” This does not necessarily import robbing. Blackstone (1726-80) 20th Ed., Book IV, p. 76, states, \"the offence of piracy by common law consists in committing those acts of robbery and depredation upon the high seas which, if committed upon land, would have amounted to felony there.\"\n\n`EC(B 306-9925)T` \n\n## A 3\n\n## 32",

In pursuance of the policy then indicated the Select Committee on the estimates agreed, as stated by the Colonial Secretary in his speech reporting to the Council the work of the Select Committee (of which a copy was enclosed in my despatch No.844 of 21st November, 1938), to the inclusion in the estimates as finally passed by Council of provision of $18,000 for the initiation of the Teachers' Training Centre, which it is hoped will start work in September, 1939.

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Mr. Stanley.]\n\nI do not think it right to say that rearmament is going to make this country profitable. I should hesitate to do so, because within the next few weeks I hope to pass through this House a Bill dealing with share-pushing, and I might feel some reluctance in recommending certain of its Clauses. But I think it is a pity to let the idea get about that rearmament is a way to prosperity. I do not believe it. I believe that rearmament does not call for rejoicing. It calls for sacrifice, and when I see some probability of armament expenditure being relaxed, as the Prime Minister hopes may sometime result from his efforts, I shall not look upon that as the closing of the road to a prosperous future. I shall look upon it as a relief from a sacrifice which is becoming almost intolerable. If we are to look upon it in a light-hearted way as a new method of attaining prosperity, I am afraid we shall overlook a consideration which I believe all of us, however strongly we hold views as to rearmament, should bear always in mind, and that is that the financial and commercial strength of this country is one of our greatest assets in war.\n\nIn the whole course of our history, when we have been fighting European Powers, I cannot recollect a time when we have ever won a short war, but I can hardly recollect a time in history when we have ever lost a long one. That is because the deployment of these great financial and commercial resources has enabled us to outlast our enemies and to get the decisive position at the end of a long war. Therefore, we must put finance and commerce among our military assets when we are discussing the question of future rearmament.\n\nMr. Boothby: In order that I may not be misinterpreted, may I say that I would very much prefer to see an expansion of public works of a useful character, rather than an expansion of works of a destructive character, if I had my choice?\n\nMr. Stanley: Even so, the hon. Gentleman still maintained that this expenditure on armaments per se was a way to the rehabilitation of the economy of this country, and that, I am afraid, is a doctrine with which I do not agree. There is one other point with which I wish to deal, and that is the point raised by the hon. Member for South Shields (Mr. Ede). He was dealing with the question of evacuation and, in particular, the arrangements for the billeting of civilians, and he read out an article from a paper, the name of which I forget.\n\nMr. Ede: The **Eastbourne Herald**.\"\n\nMr. Stanley: That is an article, the tone of which I, myself, find distasteful in the extreme, and I do not believe that it represents the feelings of a fraction of the people of this country. I was in my constituency last week-end and had some talk about the arrangements in my area. It is an area to which civilians from the North of England are to be evacuated. I had some talk with those responsible for the arrangements, and certainly that was not the kind of spirit which was represented to me as being the spirit in which these arrangements were being received. It is, of course, a difficult problem. It needs great common sense and tact. But I believe that if a crisis were to come, it is a burden which the people generally of this country would realise to be essential, and that they would shoulder it willingly as part of the common effort to get over the crisis successfully. I think the hon. Member has done a service by allowing hon. Gentlemen in all parts of the House to express their disapproval of the sort of spirit contained in that article.\n\nI pass now to some of the remarks which were made with regard to trade and the effect of Munich upon trade conditions in this country. The effect seems to me to fall into two parts. There is, first of all, the actual effect of the cession of the particular territory on trade between Czechoslovakia and ourselves and on trade between ourselves and the districts which will now be transferred to Germany. It is clearly very difficult, so soon after the event, to get anything more than a rough estimate of what the effect of this change-over will be. There are many things that we do not know yet. We do not know what are likely to be the Customs arrangements between Germany and the new Czechoslovakia, and between Poland and the new Czechoslovakia. As there has been no census of production, it is difficult to get any exact estimate of what was the production in the Sudeten areas as compared with the total production of Czechoslovakia. But I must say, with all allowance for the difficulties of making any definite estimate, I do not believe that the Munich Agreement and the cession of the territory are going to have any great effect upon trade.\n\nLast year, our exports to Czechoslovakia were about £2,500,000, while our imports were over £7,000,000. In so far as the goods imported from Czechoslovakia came from the Sudeten area and will now come from Germany instead of from Czechoslovakia, that is all catered for in the Anglo-German Payments Agreement, and those imports into this country will have to be paid for by Germany by an excess ratio of our exports to them, which is considerably higher than the ratio of about two to seven, which was the ratio of our trade with the old Czechoslovakia. On the other hand, of course, it may well be that, in so far as our exports went to the part of Czechoslovakia which remains in the new State, the greater economic difficulties will leave them with less to be exchanged, and that we may, to some extent, lose part of our exports there. On the whole, the probability is that we shall gain by the amount of the imports to this country which are transferred to the Sudeten area, and we shall lose to some extent on that part which remains within the boundary of the new Czechoslovakia.\n\n| Item | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Coal | The greater part of the Czechoslovakian coal has been used either internally or in supplying the markets directly alongside - Austria, Hungary, and the co-terminous States. |\n\nWith regard to coal, one of the most important items, it is difficult to assess the direct effect. The greater part of the Czechoslovakian coal—I am not sure I should not be right in saying all of it—has been used either internally or in supplying the markets directly alongside - Austria, Hungary, and the co-terminous States. Those are markets which we do not reach with our coal, owing to their geographical situation, and it is not likely to have very much effect on our coal trade, because it seems to me that the probability is that it will still go to the same markets that it was going to before.\n\nMr. Shinwell: The right hon. Gentleman has missed my point. The point that I was making was not the effect of the Munich Agreement on Czech-United Kingdom trade. I agree that trade generally in Central and South-Eastern Europe with Great Britain was comparatively small, but if Germany is now in a position, because of the acquisition of new territory, to liberate exports, will they not percolate into our existing markets outside Central and South-Eastern Europe and injuriously affect our trade?\n\nMr. Stanley: I was going to deal with that, but there are really three points. There is the direct effect on our trade, there is the penetration in South-East Europe, and there is the third and major problem of the general relationship between our trade and the trade of the totalitarian States. Let me pass to the question of penetration in South-Eastern Europe. I agree with the Prime Minister when he says he does not think we need look for sinister and ulterior motives in the recent visits of Herr Funk to the capitals of South-East Europe, but I think it right, when considering this problem of German penetration of South-East Europe, to make up our minds definitely what it is that is complained of and what it is that you want. I do not think that we are entitled to, and I do not think we do, object that Germany should be the chief trader in those areas. They are her natural markets, and she has the advantage in many cases of language similarity. I do not think anybody either could or wants to enter into an economic war to prevent her natural development in those areas. Indeed, a policy of that kind would be extravagant, impracticable, and, I think, unjustified; it would be a real dog-in-the-manger policy.\n\nBut there is another thing. It is different to say that Germany is entitled to the major share in those markets and to say that she is to have exclusive control of them. I see no reason why we should be completely disinterested in the potential trade of an area of this kind, and I believe it is quite possible that, even while Germany increases her trade in those areas, we should maintain and increase our trade as well. If you compare the figures for the Danubian countries in 1936-37, you will find that, although Germany, according to her own figures, largely increased her exports, so at the same time did we. We intend to give every assistance to the industries of this country to maintain, as the hon. Gentleman suggests, a footing in those countries and to take advantage of what, after all, in the long run must react to the credit of this country.\n\nIt may be that we cannot purchase goods from those countries either to the quantity or at the price the Germans can. Many of these goods are competitive with goods which come to us from our own Empire. Also, the Germans, through their particular methods, to which the hon. Gentleman referred, are enabled to... \n\nPage 175\nPage 176\nPage 177\nPage 178",

Pawley and our Senior, Mr. Stanley H. Dodwell, had some unofficial conversations with certain members of the Government and Air Force officials on this side, but it was not till early in 1938 that H.E. The Governor of Hongkong addressed his first despatches to The Colonial Office on the subject.\n\nIt appears to have been assumed that the main, or sole, object of establishing a factory in Hongkong territory was in order to supply the Chinese Government with military aircraft. This however was by no means the idea of those who were prepared to sponsor and finance the scheme. The demand for aircraft, not only in this country but in the Dominions also, was (and still is, I understand) in excess of available sources of supply. The sponsors satisfied themselves that they would be in a position to:-\n\n(a) Raise the requisite capital.\n\n(b) Acquire a suitable site with the permission of the Hongkong Government.\n\n(c) Obtain the machinery, tools and jigs necessary for the assembly and construction of certain well-known types of American aircraft, if not ...\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61",

I am sorry that my reply has been delayed.\n\nI agree that the provision made under the various heads (with the exception of personal emoluments) must at this stage be considered rather in the nature of intelligent guesses than as firm figures. This fact does, however, make the application of adequate qualifications to spending by Hong Kong all the more important.\n\nWith regard to the \"approval\" of the Estimates by the Secretary of State, I agree with (a) and (b) of the assumptions which you suggest. I have already asked for more information about the bases of the \"cost-of-living\" and \"rehabilitation\" allowances which, in the lower grades at least, continue to represent a more substantial proportion of personal emoluments than even when basic salaries have been revised. This is an element of personal emolument expenditure that needs to be most carefully watched.\n\nFollowing our practice in Sarawak and North Borneo, I should be grateful if you would define to Hong Kong what is meant by a 'major new commitment'. Perhaps the same levels (taking into account the exchange differences) might be applied both for recurrent and non-recurrent expenditure.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nMiss Wooroa\n\nH.

        "content_text": "## 16 \n\nlevel. We have also referred to the reports of various recent Salaries Commissions in other Colonies and in particular to those dealing with the public services in West Africa and Palestine.\n\n## 21.\n\nAnother subject which has figured prominently in our deliberations has been the assessment of the permanent decrease in the purchasing power of money since the war. We have reluctantly, but unavoidably, had to put on the prophet's mantle in the perhaps foolhardy attempt to state how much of the present rise in the cost of living is due to temporary dislocations caused by war, such as the shortages of essential foodstuffs, textiles, and transport, which can be expected to right themselves in time, and how much of the rise might be regarded as permanent. Cost of living indices for Hong Kong for the period after the First World War are not available, but those for Singapore show that the cost of living for Asiatics rose to 10% above the 1914 level in 1920, gradually declined to 50% in 1922, and remained at about 50 to 60% above the 1914 level until 1930, when the effects of the world slump began to make themselves felt. The cost of living for Europeans in Singapore in 1920 rose to about 30%, and in the next ten years settled down to about 55% to 60% above that of 1914. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, it is understood that the decreased purchasing value of money after the First World War was reflected in a 35% to 40% increase in salaries and wages.\n\nThe rise in the cost of living which has occurred in the Far East after the Second World War has been on a far greater scale. The whole economy of the area has been disrupted by the tide of war, and it has seemed to us reasonable to assume that it will take longer than it did after the First World War for stable economic conditions to be regained. It is clear that for some time to come, it will be necessary for Government to pay, in addition to revised salaries, which will to some extent reflect the decrease in purchasing power of money, a variable cost of living allowance, bearing in mind that the total emoluments of officers in the public service should be sufficient to keep them on a reasonable standard of living appropriate to their status. With this consideration in view, we have, if anything, erred on the conservative side in making our general recommendations for revised basic salaries, in the knowledge that it is always easier to adjust upwards than downwards. The effect of the price of rice on the economy of South East Asia is of such fundamental importance and so far-reaching that a policy of caution appears to us to be essential, since it is obvious that great damage could be done to the economic position of the Colony if the maximum rates which we prescribed proved either to be too high to enable Hong Kong concerns employing staff of similar grades to Government to compete in world markets, or to have a general inflationary effect in the Colony. We are indebted to Professor R. Robertson, Professor of Economics in the Hong Kong University, and to Mr. W. M. Thomson, Director of Supplies, Trade, and Industry, for the information and advice which they gave us on probable price trends and on the general post-war economic position, and to the Labour Officer for his views on post-war wage rates and wage tendencies. Our conclusions on this subject are that it is unlikely that the minimum wage for unskilled labour will... within the next...",

We should, however, like to be kept informed of any major developments which you think we ought to know about or on which you have views to impart.\n\nI suppose there is little chance of Hu Shih's plan being put into effect, but if anything does come of it, our cultural activities in China must be adapted to conform to it. We should try, for instance, to get in on the ground floor of the proposed new super universities, which cannot be developed to the standard aimed at without considerable foreign help. The emphasis on post-graduate research might also be of interest in connexion with the Sino-British-American Academy at Peking proposed by the Scarbrough Commission. Lastly, the development of a super university at Canton might affect our plans for the development of Hong Kong University.\n\nI am sending copies of your letter and this reply to the British Council and the Colonial Office.\n\nH.

We have been in communication with the London County Council, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government and with Messrs. Mitchell, and we have had discussions with officials from the Ministry and with Messrs. Mitchell.\n\nAs regards the Mitchell Engineering Group, our information is that this is primarily a Sales Organization handling the affairs of a number of subsidiaries. Of these subsidiaries Mitchell Engineering Limited would, as we understand the position, be the constituents of the Group which would be principally concerned with a Scheme such as that now proposed. They are in essence plant manufacturers on a large scale, but there is also, it appears, the Mitchell Construction Limited which deals with engineering construction.\n\nOur enquiries lead us to the opinion that the Group is a substantial Organization.\n\nAs regards their connection with composting, we were informed by the Representative of Mitchell Engineering Limited that they had been interested in this subject for some 15 years. They have built two plants in the United Kingdom, but these are comparatively small affairs each dealing with some 50 tons per week. They are, we were informed, at present also interested in several possible future installations, the largest of which was said to be in Bombay, the suggestion being that it should be capable of dealing with up to some 400 tons per day.\n\nThe firm have not built plants for dealing with crude night soil as a composting factor, which material introduces different conditions to those prevailing in the United Kingdom where sludge from Sewerage Purification Works is generally used.\n\nThe impression gained from the interview with Mitchell Engineering Limited was that the Mitchell Group can be considered as a suitable Organization for collaboration in the manufacture of the actual plant required.\n\nH.

        "content_text": "EC/254/25.\n\n- 2 -\n\n34\n\n22nd December, 1951.\n\nThe impression we have arrived at as the result of our enquiries is that although there is much discussion and dissemination of literature concerning sewerage-cum-refuse composting, the body of scientific knowledge does not in the United Kingdom at least appear to have yet been thoroughly synthesized and collated. It would thus probably be impracticable to find anyone in the United Kingdom who could be regarded as a complete authority on all aspects of the matter.\n\nIt was the opinion of those with whom we discussed the matter and this endorses the general lines followed so far in connection with the Hong Kong installation - that each plant must be designed specially to suit the particular local conditions and that these conditions must be thoroughly studied before design is undertaken. If the most satisfactory results are to be consistently obtained seasonal changes, e.g. rainfall, may be an important factor.\n\nIt appears that composting on the large scale envisaged for Hong Kong has yet to be put into practice, and, this being so, whether it would be advisable to set into operation a plant of this size before a pilot plant had been designed and erected and the results observed is open to considerable doubt.\n\nThere may be analytical data available in Hong Kong as regards the town refuse and from the small scale composting operations now apparently in operation at Tsun Wan as regards the composted product, and, if so, this will doubtless be of assistance to those who take over the formulation of the Scheme and shorten the time required before a full scale plant could be confidently designed. Mr. Brunt's Report shows that a considerable amount of miscellaneous data has been collected but checking, verification and expansion seem indicated as a natural corollary.\n\nThe whole matter can be roughly divided into four components: Scientific, Civil Engineering, manufacture of plant, and marketing of product. Whether the first two have as yet been sufficiently examined is possibly open to doubt, and if this doubt is valid an attempt at this stage to formulate a full scale constructional scheme on which a realistic estimate could be based may lead to disappointment later.\n\nIt can be assumed that the Mitchell Group will be mainly interested in the manufacturing side, although they informed us that a present member of their staff had been working on the general question of composting for a number of years.\n\nThe Scientific and Engineering aspects are of at least equal importance, and in respect of the latter of these it appears from Mr. Brunt's Report that the cost of the actual mechanical plant would only be one factor in the cost of the whole installation.\n\nIt seems that considerable Civil Engineering work, in which the Public Works Department will be interested, may be required, and I am not sure to what extent that Department has been concerned with events up to the present.",

A measure of technical uncertainty still exists and whether the investigational work and subsequent design are handled by a Consulting Engineer or by a Group such as Mitchell Engineering, a visit to the site will be necessary.\n\nMention has been made above of the apparent lack of collation of the accumulated scientific data on the subject and, in view of this, it may also be found necessary before a considered opinion could be given, to spend some time in examining the results of the exploratory and experimental work that has already been done at a number of different places.\n\nThe Representative of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government mentioned that it seemed not unlikely that some collaboration with a suitably qualified scientific Advisor might be found desirable.\n\nIt is doubtful if a recommendation for the installation of a full scale plant of the size envisaged could confidently be made before a pilot scheme had been put into operation and found to be satisfactory.\n\nIt is doubtless already appreciated that if the Mitchell Group is commissioned to undertake the work they will ultimately be operating in the dual capacity of Consultant and Contractor.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nFrancy Boom\n\nP.S.-\n\nBefore Dr. Herklots goes to Hong Kong he may think it worth while to see Dr. Key, the Senior Chemical Inspector of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, with whom Foxlee and I discussed the matter.",
