It was now incumbent on me, calling the Attorney General on one of his accounts or line of conduct, to decide what line of action was suitable to follow at a court-official squabble. I believe it is unparalleled in any other locality, where the Solom was in a flame for many weeks and during which his insubordination and attainments were unexcelled. It was necessary to him to be commented on in contravention and refuted with a view to regulating the Community into a class of men.\n\n68. The evidence having been submitted to the Colonial Secretary's Letter to the 10th General, I devoted myself to a careful perusal of it and on the 23rd directed the Hon'ble the letter of that date to be written to Our Attorney General. In July 1858, I was anxious that our Attorney might at once see the gravity of the position indicated.\n\nPage 240\nPage 241",

There is only the difference that a blessing goes with the first, and a curse with the last. Southey was right. Honestly earned wages are as true a quiddam honorarium, a gracious largesse, as any sum which the lawyer or physician, looking the other way, finds fall into his palm. To know that, by work of brain, or heart, or hand, or rather by all together, you have earned a penny, copper or golden as the case may be, which you may honestly expend on some lawful want, in gratification of some innocent intellectual taste or æsthetical desire, for the carrying out of some moral purpose, or for the comfort of some beloved relative or friend, is one of the truest delights left to us, after the flush of early youth has passed away. It is the frequent custom, I understand, of this Company, as the present Master realizes, to translate its Treasurer, after he has thoroughly learned how wealthy the corporation is, into its Master, so that he may the more liberally care for the widows and orphans of whom, to so large an extent, the Merchant Company is guardian.\n\nIt must be a pleasant task.\n\nAnd the necessity which lies upon every man, high and low, except the uncaught thief, to serve other men, and be paid by them as his taskmasters, is not the least pleasant leaf of that Dulcamara, bitter-sweet, which Adam found growing everywhere beyond the gates of Eden. Honourable service is the only freedom which belongs to man, and the spirit of brotherly interest and sympathy never rises higher than between the noble master and the noble servant.\n\nSecondly, The Museum which I have been commending to you, is not a museum of Scottish industry, but a museum of the industry of the world in relation to Scotland. It cannot be less than this; and as this, it will increase our civilization, and add to our power to civilize the rest of the world. We have deserved well of the other nations of the globe as improvers of the Industrial Arts, but they also have deserved well of us.\n\nTea, coffee, sugar, tobacco, opium, cinchona, cotton, caoutchouc, gutta percha, guano, have all been bestowed upon us by distant tribes. The Chinese have taught us to weave silk, to make paper and porcelain. Indians have shown us how to dye.\n\nThe Venetians have given us the modern art of glass-making. Our soda process is originally a French invention. The improvements introduced into the colonial manufacture of cane-sugar are largely borrowed from\n\n55\n\nAND COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE.\n\n526",

It is almost needless to say that the various avocations of the members of the Commission prevented their meeting on consecutive days, and that considerable difficulty was experienced in fixing times for meeting which would suit their convenience and that of the witnesses.

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press. HONGKONG, OCTOBER 6TH, 1874.\n\n## AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE \"DAILY PRESS.\"\n\nSir,--It is melancholy to find intelligent men in treating of the terrible visitation we have just been subjected to ignoring reason and the evidence of their own senses through the miserable spirit of faction, for such I call the feeling which animates those who are attempting to hound down Mr. Deane, and make him a victim for the shortcomings of others. I have read the two letters in your paper of to-day, the one headed, \"Alteram Partem No. 2\" and signed \"More Fair Play,\" the other \"The Typhoon Scandal\" and signed \"Citizen,\" and I feel bound to say that two more flimsy, flippant, and illogical effusions I have never met with.\n\n\"More Fair Play,\" in reference to my first letter, expresses himself in doubt as to whether I wrote in fun or earnest. This writer's idea of \"fun\" seems peculiar, though indeed I do not believe any such doubt as he expresses ever entered his mind. He characterizes my letter as \"thoughtless,\" because he thinks I can only have written at random, and considers he has made a great point, in showing up what he no doubt thinks an inconsistency. Quoting from my letter he says, \"During the night of the typhoon a great portion of the Police Force was on night duty, and had to be relieved in due course. Here comes the triumphant point of this sage, which will utterly crash the writer and ring the death knell of poor Mr. Deane. Now,\" says he, \"if it was safe for policemen to be sent out as relief, there could have been no danger in sending them out to save life or extinguish a fire?\"--Sir, if your correspondent had read aright my letter, which, \"thoughtless\" as he calls it, was at least intelligible and plain, he must have seen that the main reason I adduced for not sending out a party to assist in saving life from shipwreck, was that a more paramount and necessary duty had shortly to be performed by them, namely, the relief of those who were then present on night duty. Those men, who must have been drenched and worn, and perhaps severely hurt from the falling tiles and debris, must have been relieved by fresh men, for it was absolutely necessary that this large straggling city, running as it is along the face of the harbor from three or four miles, should not be left on such a night without police, yet such must have been the case had Mr. Deane diverted the force at his command to the assistance of the debay and the other wrecks.\n\nAs to Mr. Deane's refusal to ring the fire bell, I think he did quite right in not doing so. It is now made clear that when asked to have it rung, he knew that sufficient aid was at hand, and that there was no necessity whatever for doing so. Why add to the horrors of that dreadful night by sounding a needless alarm of fire and helping to create a dangerous panic! \"More Fair Play\" would have the fire bell rung at any rate; just like the man who, having purchased a watering machine, persisted in using it, though Heaven was sending upon his garden bountiful showers. It really seems to me that \"More Fair Play,\" in his anxiety to cast blame upon Mr. Deane, would have written more cheerfully, if we had had a little of that \"bloodshed and plundering\" upon which he so flippantly writes, which happily for us we have not been visited with.\n\n\"Citizen,\" your other correspondent, takes a different view of my letter and unintentionally helps to prove the case I have successfully made out for Mr. Deane. My argument is, he states, that because Macao with its miserable scrofulous crews of Eurasians or something similar, was looted on the Typhoon night, that Hong Kong with its plucky and stalwart inhabitants ran the risk of being similarly treated, had not Mr. Deane acted as he did and confined his force up in the barracks. Now, Sir, what right has \"Citizen\" to insult the respectable Portuguese inhabitants of Hongkong and Macao in this manner? Many of them may be Eurasians but that is no disgrace. Take them all in all, the Portuguese are very good specimens of humanity. They have, I feel assured, as much \"pluck\" as Europeans. Macao until this unfortunate Typhoon was one of the best policed cities in the East. Life and property there were secure, but on that trying occasion, from a variety of causes, it is pretty clear the police broke down, and so there was looting, incendiarism, and bloodshed. The conduct of the police, the military and citizens since then deserve all praise. I should like to know where this person, who styles himself \"Citizen,\" was on that night. Sure I am that he was not one of the gallant five who risked their own lives so bravely in rescuing so many persons from the Albay - allude to Messrs. MacEwen, Baird, the Brothers Taufer and Lieut. Prior. Sure I am also that he was not one of the heroic band that turned out with Mr. J. McLeod to extinguish the fire.\n\n\"Unquestionably,\" continues \"Citizen,\" \"there was a great deal of petty plunder going on, which it is to the disgrace of the police that it was allowed, but even on the typhoon night there were sufficient young and able Europeans in the street to have rendered an attack on any one of the Banks a most hopeless proceeding.\" Now is this latter statement true or not? If true, how comes it that in the most central and conspicuous parts of the town, namely, on the Praya, before Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, where an appalling shipwreck was taking place, and the cries of the sufferers heard above the howling of the storm, there were only the five chivalrous young men referred to available to render aid to the sufferers, those five not being stray inhabitants, but living right opposite to the scene of the calamity. It is not true that there were many young and able Europeans in the street at this time. When the typhoon became really severe they were in their beds, scattered all over the Colony. Had they been in the streets, as \"Citizen\" states, there would have been no need for Mr. MacEwen to have craved the aid he is said to have sought from Mr. Lesne.\n\nThe more I have read and seen of this unfortunate typhoon, the more satisfied I am that Captain Deane's conduct has been blameless, and that he deserves thanks rather than condemnation. That \"petty plunder\" which \"Citizen\" admits took place, shows that if it was not for the perfect police arrangements made there would have been a great deal of serious plunder, and the public owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Deane and the officers and men under his command for their admirable conduct during the terrible typhoon we have been visited with.\n\n\"Citizen\" again asks \"More Fair Play\" even with his great admiration for Mr. Deane explain why he turned out at 2.50 a.m. when he would not turn out at 1 a.m. \"Why what miserable bosh is this? If his common sense cannot answer this question let him write a note to Mr. Deane, and I am sure that gentleman will enlighten him.\n\nTo wind up \"Citizen\" declares \"that from the whole tone of 'Fair Play's' letter he feels confident he does not hail from the British Isles although he claims them as 'home.'\" When Martin Chuzzlewit was on his way to the City of Eden he fell in with a Mrs. Major Homing, who asked him \"where did he hail from?\" Martin was obliged to plead ignorance of the question, when the lady commiserating his ignorance descended to the level of his poor intelligence, and asked again \"where was he born?\" Now to re-assure \"Citizen\" on the question of my nationality, although I cannot for the life of me see how it affects the questions at issue, I can tell him that had I been in Martin's place I could have given quite as satisfactory a reply as he did. I am a true Briton, and being such must assure \"Citizen\" that I would rather cut off my right hand, than use it to prostitute my pen to hound down and persecute an honourable, innocent, and deserving fellow-countryman, as he and a few others, who may be called the \"Stormy Petrels\" of the occasion, are doing. But how about your own nationality, Mr. \"Citizen;\" your language is certainly more transatlantic than European; America is a fine country, but too often one finds a mixture of races there. I trust you are pure Caucasian. I have not much prejudice against the Asiatic, but I am weak enough to dislike the African. We must draw the line somewhere, and I do so at Niggers.*\n\nIn proof of my alien origin \"Citizen\" declares that I write in complete ignorance of home Custom when I throw the odium of incompetence upon the military authorities, who require to be called upon by the civil authorities in all cases, and they cannot act without their requisition. And he positively declares that the military received no notice whatever, and then he states that it is said Colonel Smith is highly indignant at the way things were managed, and has said he would have turned out...\n\nPage 337",

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

Aid Institution, and Medical Officer to the Radford Union, &c.\n\nNOTTINGHAM, April, 1873.\n\nI have known Mr. E. H. Lineker for the last twenty years, and can speak most confidently of his professional attainments. He has faithfully fulfilled several important posts requiring great trust, skill, steadiness, and attention, always, I believe, with credit to himself and benefit to others. I know him as a gentleman of education and moral worth, sound and safe in his medical and surgical knowledge, invariably kind to those under his care. Mr. Lineker is admirably adapted to fill any medical appointment, public or private, and from his general acquirements would prove a valuable officer to any institution.\n\n(Signed)\n\n**APPLEBY STEPHENSON, M.D., Edin.**\n\nFrom **CHARLES BELL TAYLOR, Esq., M.D., F.R.C.S., England**; formerly Resident Physician Walton Lodge Asylum, Liverpool, Hon.

I have had ample opportunities of forming an opinion as to his professional attainments, which I consider of high order.\n\nHe is not only most kind and attentive to those entrusted to his charge, but combines in a rare degree the qualities of a skilful surgeon with a precision of diagnosis in medical cases which entitles him to rank high as a physician.\n\n(Signed)\n\n**CHARLES BELL TAYLOR, M.D., Edin., F.R.C.S.

Lineker, I have great pleasure in giving him the best testimonial in my power. I consider him to be a gentleman in every acceptation of that term, and eminently qualified to fulfil the duties of surgeon or physician to any public institution.\n\n**JOHN WIBLIN, Physician, F.R.C.S.

I can speak of both in the highest terms, and can testify that Mr. L. has an excellent knowledge of his profession, and is specially adapted for the appointment of surgeon to any public institution.\n\nTo **Dr. LINEKER.**\n\n**W.

        "content_text": "## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nNo doubt, the repeated representations I ventured to address to Lord CARNARVON in 1877 against \"the Conditional Pardon and Deportation system, were mainly based on the clear evidence I had obtained that, however well intended or admirable in theory, it was a bad system, inconsistent with prison discipline, and that instead of checking crime it fostered and enlarged a criminal class on our Kowloong frontier and even within the Colony: but I was not insensible either to the sound general principles His Lordship had laid down on this subject in addressing the Governor of New South Wales in October 1874 in certain despatches, copies of which had been transmitted to my predecessor in 1875, and in which the Secretary of State had said :-----\n\nThe effect upon neighbouring Colonies, the Empire generally, or foreign countries, of letting loose a highly criminal or dangerous felon to reside in any part of the world except only that principally concerned to take charge of him, was a step which might clearly and not unreasonably give rise to complaints from without the Colony.\n\nTo release a criminal upon the condition that he should inflict himself either upon other Colonies and foreign countries or upon this country, was altogether in opposition to the theory now generally adopted.\n\nI am happy to say that, as the Chief Justice points out in his Report, Chinese criminals can be effectually dealt with in Hongkong without having recourse to this dangerous expedient.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Signed) J. POPE HENNESSY.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\nin these cases it turned out that if a prisoner expressed a wish to go to Sydney, Brisbane, or any other port of Australia, the practice, Mr. DEANE said, was for the Police to see that man on board the emigrant steamer or ship, and, having seen him safely on board, to make sure, as far as they could, that he left the Colony. I think one witness-not Mr. DEANE, but one of the Inspectors-told the Committee he had seen thirty or forty, at all events a considerable number of the deported criminals, on board one ship.\n\nThe Chief Justice.-What date was this ?\n\nHis Excellency.-This used to go on regularly up to two and a half years ago, when I put a stop to the practice. I recently called for a report from Mr. DEANE upon this subject, and he says-(His Excellency read the report of the Captain Superintendent of Police, to the effect that if a deportee desired to leave for any place to which a steamer ran, he was seen on board by a Constable, who remained until his departure; if he desired to go to any native village to which a passage boat plied, the same course was pursued; if he wished to go to Kowloon City, he was escorted to the boundary and there released). The Committee of which my honourable friend (Mr. RYRI) was a member, not only took the evidence of Mr. DEANE and one of the Inspectors, but in their report they touched upon the subject, and, if I remember rightly, disapproved of the encouragement of the Emigration of Chinese criminals to Australia. However, I have not allowed that, and not one deportee has gone to Australia since my arrival in this Colony.\n\n## Extract from the “Daily Press\" of 24th November, 1879.\n\n### LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Hongkong.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held on 22nd November, 1879. There were present:-----\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, J. POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G. Honourable Sir JOHN SMALE, Chief Justice.\nHonourable W. H. Marsh, Colonial Secretary.\nHonourable J. RUSSELL, Acting Attorney General,\nHonourable M. S. Tonxoguy, Acting Colonial Treasurer.\nHonourable P. Ryrie.\nHonourable W. KESWICK,\n\nOn the Chinese Emigration Ordinance Amendment Bill, His Excellency the Governor said :--- Now, there was another proposed emigration about which I refused to issue my license, and that was the emigration of skilled artizans to Sydney and other parts of Australia, which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. put before me. Some members of my Executive Council appeared to think favourably of this scheme, and we had a good deal of discussion on the subject, but I adhered to the opinion which, on looking at the papers, I had originally formed that I should not relax in any way the rules of this Colony with respect to contract emigration with the object of facilitating the traffic which Messrs. STEVENS & Co. had in view. The idea of sending to Sydney or other parts of Australia a number of skilled Chinese artizans from Hongkong, would, it was pointed out to me, benefit considerably those Chinese who should be so taken, but I had to look to other considerations. I had to consider how far it was desirable for the Governor of this Colony to do anything in the way of relaxing the strict letter of the law so as to facilitate the emigration into Australia of Chinese workmen or labourers, at the very time when it seemed to me that the Governments of Australia were more or less embarrassed by this very question. Accordingly I refused to issue my license, and it happened that six or eight months after some trouble did occur at Sydney with the very steam-ship Company in question, owing to the fact that though I did not give my license in the form they had sought, yet some Chinese were conveyed in another way not in violation of our Ordinances, and the fact of these people arriving in Sydney led to disturbance and caused the local Government no small trouble.\n\nThere was another form of emigration to Sydney, Queensland, and other parts of Australia, against which I set my face in this Colony the moment I saw its possibility, or knew that it had overtaken place. That comes under the category more indeed of another subject recently discussed at this Council,--the deportation of criminals, than under that of emigration properly so called, and it is referred to by Mr. DEANE in his evidence before the Committee on Police and Crime. Mr. DEANE tells the Committee that some of the deportees or criminals who received conditional pardons were sent to Australia. The practice was: in the event of an emigrant ship being about to sail, these Chinese criminals were asked where they would like to go to, because neither the conditional pardon nor the deportation warrant of the Governor recited the place to which the criminal was to be deported; it simply stated in the one case the man was willing to leave the Colony and not to return for life, and in the other case he was ordered to leave and not return for five years, as the case might be.\n\n## POST OFFICE NOTICE.\n\n### Unclaimed Correspondence, 30th July, 1880.\n\n| Name | Letters | Registered Letters | Papers |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Adshood, E. | 1 |  |  |\n| Ashik, Autlerson, R.

I have since learnt that it would not be any good.\n\n2. I have been looking out for someone. I find that E. Du Cane could get Capt. Harvey (formerly of Wormwood Scrubs) to go out to Hong Kong (1) in his present post and on a bonus of £1000 guaranteed to start, (2) a free passage out for himself and family allowed to take out with him.\n\nThe Chief Warder here were to consider this proposal, for his Worship Harcourt will not only mention it to save time. Sir W. Stancourt's opinion is that the arrangement would be advantageous to none of the parties and certainly not to the Home Office; and that, if we want a man in order, we should put the facts before him. A salary would scare competent men; there is no permanency for any length of time.\n\nWe are, however, committed to Col. Gordon. And even if not, there is some doubt whether we could set a better man in his place. No good man in the prison service here would be willing or able to leave his position and prospects at home for any salary which we could reasonably offer in Hong Kong.\n\nI would, therefore, ascertain from Col. Gordon at once when he will be able to leave Cyprus, and order him to Hong Kong at the earliest possible moment. If he says that he must go to England first, I should require him to go through a course of instruction at Wormwood Scrubs while waiting.\n\n## Mr. Fairfield to Mr. Antrobus\n\nBesides giving up the idea of a one-year man, why not try for an Irishman. They get lower salaries than Englishmen and are proud of a charge. Colonel Eden hopes the place may be kept open for him but does not consider us absolutely forced to keep it open as he has by his marriage disabled himself from taking up the appointment.",

The Fourth Clerk is certainly underpaid, considering the nature of the work required, and the desirability of retaining in the Department an officer who knows it, and who is gradually becoming fitted for the senior post. A salary of $150 a month is just enough to keep an intelligent lad here till he can get something better. Of the other officers in the Government service who have this salary, three are Chinese, two were copying clerks, one is a warehousekeeper at the Powder Depot, and one is a Storekeeper in the Coal. Although Mr. Eden Carvalho has only two years' service, the duties he has to perform are of a kind very different to any of those enumerated. I consider that the post is worth at least $65 a month. The fourth clerk in the Post Office has $60.\n\nAn extra hand is absolute necessity.

        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

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

It tends to foster race prejudices, it deprives the natives of important encouragement to speak English, and robs two English masters of attaining a fair share in the aim of the College, namely, to bring English education within reach of the Chinese.\n\nFourthly, as to the Regulations of the School. There is in existence a pamphlet entitled, \"Rules of Government Central School,\" [Government (Chinese Printing and Publishing Company, 1887)] to which, though it has never had any official sanction, we are continually referred to as the authority on all questions of discipline, methods of instruction and indeed our duties.

Col. Reg 100 was amended with a view Ex Caserne 16551/92 to making it clear that full pay an officer acting for two posts at same office time could draw his one + half the other pay, if the two posts were in a distinct dept. or not in relation of superiant subordination.\n\nThe theory of this rule is that when a man is performing the duty of officers in his own Dept. he is not as a rule doing (if any) really double duty, but only doing a little more than usual of his own duty.\n\nMr. Eden's second anomaly raised above seems to me to be set aside by altering \"shall\" into \"may\" in Rule 107, as it would then be possible for a superior officer (who has to perform in addition to his own duties the duties of a subordinate) drawing his own full pay, instead of having to go in for the two halves. But to avoid any possible ambiguity, I suggest additions to be made both to Rule 100 and Rule 107.\n\nIn Eden's case, then, do the amendments satisfy your objections?\n\n## 27. July 95\n\nThey appear to me to make things worse, without removing any objection. For example, take Col. Reg. 107 as amended by Mr. Johnson. The case of an officer of Superior salary called upon to perform the duties of an officer of inferior salary, but not performing the duties of his own office, may be dismissed from consideration. It remains that an officer of inferior salary called upon to perform the duties of an officer of Superior salary, but not performing the duties of his own office, is offered the alternative between the two half salaries and his own inferior salary, which is absurd. If the \"same rule\" is to apply to the present case: complicated...",

The Governor observes with satisfaction that the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce are prepared to accept cheerfully the increased taxation that will probably be necessary to meet the heavy expenses of contemplated measures for the general improvement of sanitation.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour most obedient servant,\n\nT. SERCOMBE SMITH,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nTHE SECRETARY,\n\nChamber of Commerce.\n\n31.The foregoing statements prove that the local Government has failed to give effect, save in a very qualified form, to the measures so frequently urged upon it by its own Medical Officers and other experts; its efforts, so far, have met with so little result, indeed, that the Colony is now suffering severely from the annually recurring visitations of plague and, in a lesser degree, of enteric fever and small-pox. The inadequacy of the measures adopted by the local Government in dealing with so grave a crisis may, we submit, be regarded as equivalent to a tacit admission on its part that it is beyond its Power, of its own initiative, to undertake the gigantic task which a thorough and efficient reform of the Sanitary conditions of the Colony, with the heavy expenditure and sacrifices attending it, would involve\n\nThe conviction has consequently been forced upon us that no really effectual measures will be taken to grapple with the Sanitary problems of the Colony and to arrest the progress of disease until an appeal is made to the responsible Minister of State for his intervention. These annual epidemics are pressing acutely on the Commerce and Industries of the Colony, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain labour, whether European or Chinese. This year the Plague has again produced a cessation of Emigration, and the loss to the Shipping and Trade generally through quarantine restrictions and other delays has been very great. Native workmen are leaving Hongkong in thousands, and there is not an important industry or commercial undertaking in the Colony, employing and dependent on Chinese labour, that has not suffered.\n\nUnder the circumstances hereinbefore referred to your Petitioners most humbly Pray that you will be pleased\n\nthis 25th day of June, 1901.\n\n1.-To appoint a Commission consisting of a person or persons wholly unconnected with the Colony to proceed forthwith to Hongkong to investigate and report\n\n(a) On the Sanitary Condition of the Colony; (b) On the measures to be adopted for the improvement of the City of Victoria and of the Colony as it at present exists.\n\n2.That you will be pleased to attach to the said Commission some independent Sanitary Expert to advise.\n\n3. That after receiving and considering the Report of such Commission, you will give directions for the Recommendations of that Commission to be forthwith carried into effect.\n\nT. H. WHITEHEAD, J.P.

Said we will make an effort to find a suitable candidate for the vacancy.\n\n332 Mr Lucas said Dr Pereira Zou then withdrew his application (letter attached to his paper). It is very tiresome of him.\n\nCandidate who had been through the course at the School of Tropical Medicine, there being no time to go through the course again. I submit Dr H.M. Pereira 26493. He has the L.R.C.P.S. (Edin.), D.P.H. (Camb.), and the Diploma of Trop. Med. Mr Michelli tells me he did well at the School and has a good character. For the last 5 years he has been medical officer to the Metropolitan Asylums Board.\n\nHis papers seem satisfactory and he made a good impression. I could see he showed no signs of foreign extraction or dark blood. He was brought up in Madras and qualified there originally.\n\nFailing Dr Pereira (who was originally appointed by the Governor for Dr Orme), Dr Hartley 28721/4 would do, but neither has the Diploma in Tropical Medicine. Dr Pereira has C.R.3117.\n\nWe can now take either Dr Hartley or the candidate who was selected locally. Dr Orme (242) has not been qualified much over 2 years, but has had considerable hospital experience and has been a Surgeon on the P. & O. line. He had resided in Egypt where he appears to have had severe illness (see P. Manson's letter to M. Read). Dr Orme is over 35, and he has not got the Diploma in Trop. Med. to outweigh that disadvantage.\n\nI think Dr Hartley should have the appointment. `C.R. 3/8`, `C.P.L. 3` at once.",

Five boats came to meet the steamer after she dropped anchor. There were several tens of people in the boats, about twenty altogether. I saw about eighty or ninety go off. When they left they ordered me not to leave without their instructions. Then they shouted from the shore and said I could go. Then I got up anchor and went to Sanshui.

I was kept downstairs and not allowed up, and four men showed their revolvers at me and told me not to sing out. I struggled with them and one struck me on the head with the butt of a revolver.

The Secretary of State was obviously under the impression that\n\nremittances were made at the same rate as that at which salaries\n\nwere paid. The large difference which has for a second time\n\noccurred warrants me in expressing the hope that Your Excellency\n\nmay take prompt action in the present unfortunate circumstances.\n\n5.\n\nI have the honour also to point out in\n\nsupport of the request that I am making to Your Excellency that\n\nthe question now raised is entirely independent of the main\n\nquestion which has been raised in the different memorials which\n\nhave been forwarded to the Secretary of State. It is concerned\n\nsolely with the local rule by which the rate for each month is\n\nascertained. A concession on this point would not therefore in\n\nany way prejudge the larger question raised by the memorials.\n\n6.\n\nLooking at the question in its superficial\n\naspect it will doubtless occur to many that the present fall in\n\nexchange will ameliorate the position of civil servants: but\n\nowing to the operation of the artificial rule by which the month-\n\nly rate is ascertained, not only will they derive no benefit\n\nfrom the fall this month, but even next month the rate will be\n\nunnecessarily high owing to the high rate prevailing on 15th\n\nMarch as compared with that now obtaining. In order to emphasise\n\nthis unsatisfactory state of affairs, I draw Your Excellency's\n\nattention to the fact that in spite of the recent severe fall in\n\nexchange the rate at which salaries will be paid this month is\n\nthe same as last month.\n\n7.",

The Chief Station is Canton, to which place the carriage by water is extremely low and as I said before some inducement such as greater speed must be held out to draw traffic to the line. The number of coolies travelling however is so large that a very small profit per mile mounts up to a good sum of money and for reasons stated above this division of profits for this traffic must be by mileage. I will enter into figures later on. \n\nAnother centre of passenger traffic for which I have got figures is San Chun a town of some importance about one mile over the frontier in Chinese territory. The fare by steamer from Hong Kong is 30 cents. The first part of the journey is by steam launch and then as the tide very often does not allow of the steamer reaching the landing stage, passengers have to tranship into a stern wheel boat. The landing stage is about a mile from the town. This is a place to which much higher rates per mile can be charged and yet easily get all the passengers. In the first place owing to shallow water it sometimes takes a whole day to go from Hong Kong to Sam Chun, and then the passengers have to walk about a mile. The Railway will bring passengers there in about 75 minutes and land them much near the village. The distance from Hong Kong is about 23 miles of which only one mile is on the Chinese Section. For this reason the British Section must have the power to quote a high rate say 14 cents per mile for 3rd. class passengers. \n\nShek Lung is in a similar position, but I have not been able to obtain any figures for the traffic between Hong Kong and this place. At present anyone wanting to travel between Shek Lung and Hong Kong must tranship at Wangpoo and would probably have to pass through Canton, \n\nThere is another place to which a fair number of passengers go",

Under the terms of subsection 13 of Section 4 of the Ordinance, Government Officials are not permitted to accept fees in respect of their services in connection with examinations for certificates of competency granted to Masters, Mates, and Engineers in the Mercantile Marine. The present practice, under which examinations in seamanship are conducted by a Naval Officer and a Master Mariner, has not worked satisfactorily owing to the difficulty in procuring suitable examiners and to the lack of uniformity in the conduct and standard of the examinations caused by the necessarily frequent changes in the personnel.\n\n... \nAch is one despatch Colonial administration, which should not, I think, be referred to the Board. Hongkong. I do not myself see any objection to the proposed system, which is understood to be already in force in Straits Settlements; but in so far as it may affect the working of the Hongkong Civil Service, I think the decision must rest with the Eastern Department.\n\nThe Eastern Department has no objection on the part of Sir M. Eden's views. In neither of the points raised in The Despatch need we trouble the Board of Trade.\n\nSubsection 10 for mention also needs amendment it seems. I think the Board of Trade should send this to them. It appears to refer to the fees.\n\n**REG 21 MAR 08**  \n`C.C. 40043`  \n`Rece 257`  \n`Gove 6097`  \n\nRIGHT HONOURABLE  \nTHE EARL OF ELGIN, K.G., &c., &c...",

In Japanese\n\nuniversities where the students are all graduates from higher\n\ngrade schools, it is naturally advisable to use a foreign\n\nlanguage as the medium of teaching and to make it a rule that the\n\nforeign professors should lecture directly to the students. But\n\nthe standard of education of the students who have not been\n\neducated in the higher grade schools, will not be high enough\n\nThe best course will to allow the adoption of such a measure.\n\nbe either to engage Chinese teachers or to have the lectures\n\ndelivered through interpreters. By doing so double the benefit\n\nwill be obtained with half the trouble. That students receive\n\nthe lecture indirectly from the lectures is more than counter-\n\nacted by the extra year the students have to apply to their\n\nstudies.\n\n:\n\nThe above four alterations will produce seven\n\nadvantages:- (1) In 5 years we shall have the service of gradu-\n\nates from the University to meet the requirements of the moment.\n\n(2) We will enable people, who have already had a certain amount\n\nof experience, to make themselves more useful. (3) Young and\n\ninexperienced graduates will not be so useful as officials who,\n\nin addition to their official experience, are refined by going\n\nthrough a course of 5 years in the University. (4) Officials who\n\nhave already had the respect of the public will have no diffic-\n\nulty in working harmoniously with the people when they again appear in an official capacity. (5) By admitting students from\n\nother provinces into the University, the expenditure will\n\ncomparatively be less in proportion to the number of students. (6) Competition with the Peking University is sure to cause\n\nrapid progress. (7) Preparations are now being made to adopt\n\na constitutional system of Government. The establishment of a\n\nUniversity will remove the fear of there being a lack of\n\neducated",

He had asked Sir F. Lugard before he left to let him know if the scheme were likely to be vetoed.\n\nHe had had no information that there was any fear of such a contingency, and he did not think there was a slightest chance of the Secretary of State vetoing such legislation if the Hongkong Legislature chose to pass it. But in any case before introducing an Ordinance to give effect to the resolution he would of course consult the Secretary of State.\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government said that he went to Mr.Stewart to oppose the proposal on general grounds. The numbers affected were too small to be of any real advantage to the defence of the Colony. The youths in question could, if their employers so wished, be easily persuaded to join the Volunteers. As Volunteers, they would be much more valuable since they would be willingly giving their services.\n\nHe considered that the best line to adopt was to encourage volunteering as much as possible.\n\nMr.W.G.Humphreys spoke strongly in favour of the proposal. He had had three sons in the Volunteers. They got tired of it and left the Corps. He was sorry that they were not compelled to remain in the Corps. He considered that the training proposal would be of immense service to the youths concerned and he strongly supported the proposal.\n\nMr. Edward Osborne strongly supported the scheme. Experience had shown that enthusiasm for Volunteering, evoked by special effort or by circumstances periodically, was ephemeral.",

I think the laymen looks on law as a thing which, if you turn a tap, simply runs out at will. This was one of the points which showed that the lay mind had been more than unpractical in the matter of the proposed Appeal Court. I am quite sure that when the Court is\n\nBiting Bothe Music\n\nChasse not sitting the layman thinks the Judges are at the Club, or\n\nX\n\nplaying golf. Well, that is a point of which the laymánd must\n\nbe disabused if the matter is to be fairly considered: but I am confident that if this point is appreciated, much way will be made: you see of course that this is a matter on which figures can throw no light.\n\n7.\n\ndun\n\nI now come to the Puisne Judge's work. Here again it is necessary to disabuse the lay mind of the idea that if the Puisne Judge happens to be free for an afternoon\n\nhe can be turned on to do Original Jurisdiction work: I am confident from remarks I have heard that this is quite a prevalent idea among the laity. You are sufficiently familiar with judicial work to know that this is not the case. But so far as his own Court is concerned, there is a deadlock there also; and Mr. Hazeland tells me that his first free day for a defended case is 22nd November. Of course allowance has been made for the sitting of the Full Court in appeal in the long case, but even omitting this the date would be at end of November. This is altogether wrong; it is entirely inconsistent with the idea of a Summary Court, and it works great hardship on litigants. I am most strongly of opinion that beyond the assistance at Assizes and in Chambers which the Puisne Judge now gives it would be most unwise to saddle the Puisne Judge with any of the Chief Justice's work permanently.\n\n8.\n\nOn the question of finance, I can only say that I have said before; first that the appointment of a Third Judge would increase the revenue of the Department, and secondly, that if the stamp duties were thoroughly collected,\n\nas they are now beginning to be, a revenue would be obtained\n\nsufficient",

Lugard's proposal, on the ground that the Secretary of State did not think it advisable to put it forward, and that supported the second paragraph of the counter-draft; but they immediately add the proviso that they can accept the second paragraph only if it is interpreted to bear exactly the same meaning as the wider interpretation of Sir F. Lugard's proposal. \"Failing conventional protection for unregistered marks, in terms adequately explicit, the Manchester Chamber would prefer not to have any convention\".\n\n5.\n\nMr. Crowe informed the Manchester Chamber that the London Chamber objected to the conclusion of a convention because they considered that, if China subsequently constituted arrangements for the protection of trade marks, it would be difficult to object to the Japanese contention that any Japanese who had wrongfully registered in Japan a British mark of which the British ownership had been acquired by user only was entitled to protection in China, as against the British owner. Mr. Crowe, in reply to this argument of the London Chamber, pointed out that even now there was nothing to prevent a Japanese from registering in Japan a British mark which was used by its British owners only in China and not in Japan, so that the conclusion of the convention would not give Japanese pirates any rights in Japan which they did not enjoy before. Consequently Mr. Crowe did not agree with the contention of the London Chamber.\n\n6.\n\nI submit that Mr. Crowe has missed the point of the London Chamber's argument. With or without a convention a Japanese can register a British mark in Japan and in course of time he obtains the exclusive right to its use in Japan. At the present time he may put goods under this mark on the Chinese market, but the British Merchant if he can prove his right to the mark, has a remedy against the Chinese retailers. If the convention is signed the situation as far as pirating in Japan is concerned would remain unchanged; but as regards China Great Britain would have agreed to respect the marks of Japan registered in Great Britain and Japan would have agreed to respect the marks of Great Britain registered in Japan. The inference would be that the marks of Great Britain which were not registered in Japan were not entitled to protection in China against Japanese infringers,",

The matter had now been taken out of the hands of the Canton Government and\n\nsent to Peking, and it must therefore be settled there.\n\nMr. Tomes replied that the Green Island Cement Company had been buying Limestone in open market for a great number of years If these Mining Laws existed and of which nobody seemed to have any knowledge they had never been enforced, and he considered that Laws not enforced\n\nbecame dead.\n\nMr. Gilman asked Mr. Kwan if he would supply the Green Island Cement Company with a list of the Limestone Mining Permits already\n\nissued.\n\nMr. Kwan replied that the list had already been given to the Company some time ago.\n\nMr. Gilman said that the Green Island Cement Company had ascertained that no Limestone can be obtained from some of the places mentioned in this list and that others, even if productive of limestone, are too far away to be of any use.\n\nMr. Gilman also asked if any permits had been given since that list was handed to the Company.\n\nMr. Kwan replied that petitioners had not been able to comply with the Mining Laws and that therefore no more permits had been given with the exception of one to the Kwang Tung Cement Company for the Fa Un Quarry and stated that the Company could purchase stone from Mr. Lau the Manager of the Kwang Tung Cement Company. The Green Island Cement Company's Contractors had sent in petitions but had not complied with the Law.\n\nMr. Gilman asked if Mr. Kwan would say in what way the Contractors had not complied with the Law, so that they might be told how to make their application in proper form. He pointed out that these contractors\n\n4 (1.8. the Fei - shu quarry seized by the late South)\n\nign",

By her he has a son (and grandchildren)\n\n(b) When he was home on leave in 1908, Cotton had relations with two different women at Newton-on-Aire, Yorkshire, viz:-\n \n| Name          |\n|---------------|\n| Violet Anderson|\n| Edie Fowler    |\n\nand has a child by each of them.\n\nCotton gave his wife letters from these women and photos of the children and told her to use them as she pleased.\n\n2. Previously to his leave in 1908, Cotton treated his wife well. On his return he took to drink and treated her at times very brutally. On one occasion he turned her and her children into the street (Queen's Road East) in their bed clothes.\n\n3. Since he went home Cotton has written to other people in Hongkong asking them how his wife is living. In one letter which Mrs. Cotton has seen, he suggests that she is living with another man.\n\nMr. Kemp has been good enough to visit Mrs. Cotton for me at her house. There is no indication that she is living anything but a straight life.\n\nA girl, well-known to the Y.W.C.A., is living in the same room as Mrs. Cotton and her children. The other rooms in the flat are sub-let by Mrs. Cotton to respectable people.\n\n5.

These figures have been arrived at by returns furnished by the Collector of Customs at Manila. \n\nThe fines in question of course involve a severe business loss to the shipping companies concerned as pointed out by Messrs. Smith, Bell and Co. (See Enclosure 3) and, in view of the dissatisfaction expressed by the Acting Collector of Customs, I felt it advisable to enquire of the Governor of Hongkong whether something could not be done to relieve the situation in the interests of British shipping. \n\nIt appears that where fines have been levied by the Customs at Manila for the carrying of unmanifested cargo in the form of opium that such opium has generally been secreted on board at Hongkong by agents or employees of Chinese opium syndicates which are alleged to be operating in Manila and that, on arrival of the vessel, after search has been made by the Customs and Opium is discovered on board for which there is no known owner, the ship has often been fined for having unmanifested cargo on board. \n\nI note that the Acting Collector of Customs remarks in Enclosure No. 3 that fines will be imposed on vessels arriving from Hongkong on which opium is found unless it is shown that adequate steps were taken to prevent its being placed aboard while in the harbour at Hongkong. This of course is very difficult to prevent entirely and in this connection you will observe in Paragraph 6 of the Governor's letter the steps which are taken by the Hongkong Authorities to prevent the illegal exportation of opium which seem to be of a very thorough nature. \n\nMessrs. Smith, Bell and Co. suggest in their letter as a remedy (See Enclosures 2 and 3) for the suppression of opium smuggling that severer penalties should be imposed and this is a suggestion in which I heartily concur. \n\nI note with gratification that this principle has been recognised in the **\"Opium Amendment Ordinance 1913\"** issued",

        "content_text": "8\n\nGouvernement des Pays-Bas invite immédiatement les Puissances signataires à cette date de désigner des délégués pour procéder à La Haye à l'examen de la possibilité de faire entrer en vigueur la Convention internationale de l'Opium du 23 janvier, 1912.”* \n\nThis vau, as M. van Deventer explained, goes farther than a mere prolongation by one year of the period prescribed by paragraph 2 of article 23 of the convention; it recommends that should the signature of all the Powers not be obtained by the end of the present year a further Conference should be summoned, not to examine the possibility of depositing ratifications, because that question has already been dealt with, but to examine the possibility of putting the convention into force.\n\nIn the discussion which ensued Dr. Wu Lien-Teh expressed the opinion that the period of six months allowed for further signatures might well have been reduced to one or two months, but no other delegates spoke in support of this view.\n\nThe vau in the form proposed by the Editing Committee and certain recommendations as to the arrangement of the other vœux already agreed to having been adopted, the final protocol was unanimously passed without further discussion.\n\nAt the fifth and closing session on the 9th July the final protocol was signed by all the delegates except those of Brazil and Colombia, who were unavoidably prevented from attending, but who affixed their signatures subsequently.\n\nM. Pellet, the French delegate, and Mr. Lloyd Bryce, the American delegate, made short speeches expressing the thanks of their colleagues to Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands and to the Government for the hospitality extended to us, and to M. Cremer, our president, for the zeal, patience, and impartiality with which he had conducted the business of our sessions. M. Cremer, in replying, paid a well-deserved tribute to the valuable assistance received from our honorary president, M. van Swinderen, Netherland Minister for Foreign Affairs.\n\nM. van Swinderen said a few words congratulating the delegates on the progress made towards the goal which they had set before them, and accepted on behalf of the Netherland Government the fresh task which they had been invited to undertake and in the execution of which they would count on the active support of the signatory Governments. He then declared the Conference closed.\n\nTo the superficial observer it might perhaps appear that little had been achieved by the Second Opium Conference, but a closer comparison of the position of affairs as they were at the close of the first Conference with the present situation will show that such a conclusion is unwarranted. At the close of the first Conference twelve Powers had signed a convention to regulate the trade in opium, morphia, and cocaine, but had simultaneously come to the conclusion that there could be no idea of any practical enforcement of the provisions of that convention without first securing the co-operation of numerous Governments who had not even been represented at the Conference. At present the position is far different; a large majority of the Governments of the world have signed the convention, several have already signified their readiness to ratify, and only a very small minority, though representing powerful interests, have decided to postpone ratification, in the hope of first securing the co-operation of the Governments which have not yet signed.\n\nIn our report on the work of the first Conference, we claimed to have established a new principle of international morality in laying down that, in regard to the traffic in these harmful drugs, it was not sufficient for a particular State to take measures for the protection of its own subjects, but that it must also assist the efforts of other countries by organising international control over the traffic in these drugs; but we pointed out that, in order to give adequate effect to this principle, a substantial degree of unanimity among the nations of the world as to the measures to be adopted was essential. We now claim that a long step has been made towards the attainment of that unanimity. The second Conference has served to review the international position and accelerate the pace.\n\nOur instructions were to direct our efforts to securing the co-operation of the signatory Governments in such measures as, in the opinion of the delegates, were most likely to induce those countries which, for one reason or another, had not yet signed,\n\n* TRANSLATION.—“That if the signature of all the Powers invited in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 23 be not obtained by the 31st December, 1913, the Government of the Netherlands do immediately invite the signatory Powers to appoint delegates to proceed to The Hague to examine the possibility of putting in force the International Opium Convention of the 23rd January, 1912.”\n\n9\n\nto sign the convention without further delay, and thus enable His Majesty's Government to ratify. A perusal of the final protocol will, we think, show that we have succeeded in carrying out our instructions to the letter. It would nevertheless be idle to disguise the fact that the refusal of His Majesty's Government to ratify, there and then, was a cause of great disappointment to many of the delegates. We venture, however, to point out that the position is already different from what it was when His Majesty's Government decided that the question of ratification must be postponed. After the summoning of the Conference, but before the opening of its sessions, Chile and Nicaragua had signed; during the Conference Uruguay intimated its intention of signing, though it has not as yet done so, while since its close, according to information received from the Netherland Government, Peru, whose abstention was so fatal to any effective control of the cocaine trade, has come into line; and, more recently, Norway and Sweden have also signed the convention. This reduces the number of non-signatory Powers to nine, viz., Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, Roumania, Servia, Switzerland, Turkey, and Uruguay, and of these six have certainly had more vitally important questions to occupy them lately than the regulation of the international trade in certain noxious drugs. There is therefore, we consider, every indication that matters will soon have reached a stage which will justify His Majesty's Government in altering their attitude and ratifying the convention.\n\nM. van Swinderen, in his closing speech, referred to the disappearance of all doubt as to the sincerity of the individual intentions entertained by the Governments concerned as being the great forward step made by the Conference, and he further expressed his conviction that the task of civilisation to which the Conference had devoted its energies would be realised in its widest conception. We sincerely hope, nay, we have every reason to believe, that events will justify M. van Swinderen's confidence. There may be delays and disappointments yet to be encountered; several Powers have still to ratify before the putting into force of the convention; there will then be further difficulties to be surmounted in regard to the enactment of the legislative and other measures entailed, and finally there will be the fixing of the date for the enforcement of those measures. Time must elapse before this final stage is reached, but, without wishing to be unduly optimistic, we may at least say that there seems every indication that we have reached a point from which we cannot go back, but are bound to go forward till the work that the Powers which framed the convention set before them is finally accomplished.\n\nIn view of the fact that the putting into force of the convention by Great Britain must necessitate the enactment of entirely new legislation in respect of the drugs which are the subject of the convention, it would appear desirable that the Department concerned should have in preparation a Bill to give effect to the provisions therein laid down, in anticipation of the next and subsequent stages which must follow upon the deposit of ratification, which has already commenced.\n\nBefore closing, there is one further point to which we wish to draw attention. In the list, which accompanied our instructions, of the dominions, colonies, dependencies, and protectorates of His Majesty which have refused to sign the convention, we noticed the names of the Union of South Africa, of several of our West Indian colonies, and of British Guiana and British Honduras. The question of the signature of the British colonies was not mentioned at the Conference, and the abstention of those figuring in the above-mentioned list may not, perhaps, be considered to have the same importance as, for instance, the abstention of French Cochin-China, to which we have already referred. Nevertheless it is evident that so long as colonies possessing important ports such as those mentioned above, which could be used for the unrestricted transhipment of opium, morphia, and cocaine to neighbouring countries, refuse to be bound by the provisions of the Opium Convention in regard to the international trade in those drugs, we lay ourselves open to the same criticism that we have applied to the refusal of the other countries to sign, namely, that the abstention of those colonies must prove prejudicial to the full and effective enforcement of international measures for the suppression of the illicit trade in opium, morphia, and cocaine.\n\nFinally, we wish again to give public expression to our grateful sense of the obligation under which the Netherland Government have laid all the Governments interested in this humanitarian work, not only by affording us the opportunity of meeting together for discussion, but also for so readily undertaking for the second time the task of securing further signatures to the convention. We feel that the whole world owes a debt of gratitude to the Government of the Netherlands for the repeated proofs they have given of their readiness to promote international settlement of\n\n433\n\n1",

I was ignorant of the fact that Mr. Fletcher had made any report to Mr. Nisbet. When Mr. Fletcher spoke to me in an advisory manner he said that something ought to be done to prevent the public thinking that they were being squeezed and suggested that if a receipt was given for the fees paid by these poor people they would feel quite content; the word receipt being mentioned in its general sense and I not knowing if Mr. Fletcher meant an official or private receipt I adopted a system of giving them a rough receipt on a blue slip of paper and I also entered in the file a note of the fact of payment. The November Circular was issued by Mr. Nisbet after a report made to him by me after the Dutch Consul making a trouble about a receipt for stamps payable on a copy of a document from the Registry.

September last. I submit this cannot be either possible or probable by reason of the fact that he lives in the same house as his brother the said Sirdar Khan and further sore by reason of the very bitter family feud between us. Two days later every Tom Dick Harry knew about it and then I got the particulars of the case and knew what it re--lated to.

The Punjabis have a natural hatred against the Pathans. I would leave out all small matters. During the last year Mohamed Ackber as he admitted assaulted the Indian Doctor attached to my uncle's corps. Mohamed Ackber wanted my uncle to give evidence for him with which he could win his \n\ncase. My uncle refused to interfere in the matter on behalf of either side. He then wrote a long letter to my uncle the tone of which was not very pleasant. Unfortunately my uncle tore the letter. He then interviewed him personally and \n\nsubsequently wrote another letter to my uncle offering to pay his expenses if he would give evidence for him. My uncle refused and consequently he was obliged to get all the respectable persons \n\nboth from the military and civil to request the Doctor to withdraw the case against him and agreed to pay his own Solicitor's \n\nand the Doctor's Solicitor's costs. The case was then withdrawn and Mohamed Ackber in addition to the costs he had to \n\napologize to the Doctor in writing. \n\nMohamed Ackber had been after my post in the Registry since he",

        "content_text": "## 8 \n\nGouvernement des Pays-Bas invite immédiatement les Puissances signataires à cette date de désigner des délégués pour procéder à La Haye à l'examen de la possibilité de faire entrer en vigueur la Convention internationale de l'Opium du 23 janvier, 1912.\"* \n\nThis vote, as M. van Deventer explained, goes farther than a mere prolongation by one year of the period prescribed by paragraph 2 of article 23 of the convention; it recommends that should the signature of all the Powers not be obtained by the end of the present year a further Conference should be summoned, not to examine the possibility of depositing ratifications, because that question has already been dealt with, but to examine the possibility of putting the convention into force. \n\nIn the discussion which ensued Dr. Wu Lien-Teh expressed the opinion that the period of six months allowed for further signatures might well have been reduced to one or two months, but no other delegates spoke in support of this view. \n\nThe convention in the form proposed by the Editing Committee and certain recommendations as to the arrangement of the other votes already agreed to having been adopted, the final protocol was unanimously passed without further discussion. \n\nAt the fifth and closing session on the 9th July the final protocol was signed by all the delegates except those of Brazil and Colombia, who were unavoidably prevented from attending, but who affixed their signatures subsequently. \n\nM. Pellet, the French delegate, and Mr. Lloyd Brice, the American delegate, made short speeches expressing the thanks of their colleagues to Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands and to the Government for the hospitality extended to us, and to M. Cremer, our president, for the zeal, patience, and impartiality with which he had conducted the business of our sessions. M. Cremer, in replying, paid a well-deserved tribute to the valuable assistance received from our honorary president, M. van Swinderen, Netherland Minister for Foreign Affairs. \n\nM. van Swinderen said a few words congratulating the delegates on the progress made towards the goal which they had set before them, and accepted on behalf of the Netherland Government the fresh task which they had been invited to undertake and in the execution of which they would count on the active support of the signatory Governments. He then declared the Conference closed. \n\nTo the superficial observer it might perhaps appear that little had been achieved by the Second Opium Conference, but a closer comparison of the position of affairs as they were at the close of the first Conference with the present situation will show that such a conclusion is unwarranted. At the close of the first Conference twelve Powers had signed a convention to regulate the trade in opium, morphia, and cocaine, but had simultaneously come to the conclusion that there could be no idea of any practical enforcement of the provisions of that convention without first securing the co-operation of numerous Governments who had not even been represented at the Conference. At present the position is far different: a large majority of the Governments of the world have signed the convention, several have already signified their readiness to ratify, and only a very small minority, though representing powerful interests, have decided to postpone ratification, in the hope of first securing the co-operation of the Governments which have not yet signed. \n\nIn our report on the work of the first Conference we claimed to have established a new principle of international morality in laying down that, in regard to the traffic in these harmful drugs, it was not sufficient for a particular State to take measures for the protection of its own subjects, but that it must also assist the efforts of other countries by organising international control over the traffic in these drugs; but we pointed out that, in order to give adequate effect to this principle, a substantial degree of unanimity among the nations of the world as to the measures to be adopted was essential. We now claim that a long step has been made towards the attainment of that unanimity. The second Conference has served to review the international position and accelerate the pace. \n\nOur instructions were to direct our efforts to securing the co-operation of the signatory Governments in such measures as, in the opinion of the delegates, were most likely to induce those countries which, for one reason or another, had not yet signed, \n\n## 9 \n\nto sign the convention without further delay, and thus enable His Majesty's Government to ratify. A perusal of the final protocol will, we think, show that we have succeeded in carrying out our instructions to the letter. It would nevertheless be idle to disguise the fact that the refusal of His Majesty's Government to ratify, there and then, was a cause of great disappointment to many of the delegates. We venture, however, to point out that the position is already different from what it was when His Majesty's Government decided that the question of ratification must be postponed. After the summoning of the Conference, but before the opening of its sessions, Chile and Nicaragua had signed; during the Conference Uruguay intimated its intention of signing, though it has not as yet done so, while since its close, according to information received from the Netherland Government, Peru, whose abstention was so fatal to any effective control of the cocaine trade, has come into line; and, more recently, Norway and Sweden have also signed the convention. This reduces the number of non-signatory Powers to nine, viz., Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, Roumania, Servia, Switzerland, Turkey, and Uruguay, and of these six have certainly had more vitally important questions to occupy them lately than the regulation of the international trade in certain noxious drugs. There is therefore, we consider, every indication that matters will soon have reached a stage which will justify His Majesty's Government in altering their attitude and ratifying the convention. \n\nM. van Swinderen, in his closing speech, referred to the disappearance of all doubt as to the sincerity of the individual intentions entertained by the Governments concerned as being the great forward step made by the Conference, and he further expressed his conviction that the task of civilisation to which the Conference had devoted its energies would be realised in its widest conception. We sincerely hope, nay, we have every reason to believe, that events will justify M. van Swinderen's confidence. There may be delays and disappointments yet to be encountered; several Powers have still to ratify before the putting into force of the convention; there will then be further difficulties to be surmounted in regard to the enactment of the legislative and other measures entailed, and finally there will be the fixing of the date for the enforcement of those measures. Time must elapse before this final stage is reached, but, without wishing to be unduly optimistic, we may at least say that there seems every indication that we have reached a point from which we cannot go back, but are bound to go forward till the work that the Powers which framed the convention set before them is finally accomplished. \n\nIn view of the fact that the putting into force of the convention by Great Britain must necessitate the enactment of entirely new legislation in respect of the drugs which are the subject of the convention, it would appear desirable that the Department concerned should have in preparation a Bill to give effect to the provisions therein laid down, in anticipation of the next and subsequent stages which must follow upon the deposit of ratification, which has already commenced. \n\nBefore closing, there is one further point to which we wish to draw attention. In the list which accompanied our instructions of the dominions, colonies, dependencies, and protectorates of His Majesty which have refused to sign the convention, we noticed the names of the Union of South Africa, of several of our West Indian colonies, and of British Guiana and British Honduras. The question of the signature of the British colonies was not mentioned at the Conference, and the abstention of those figuring in the above-mentioned list may not, perhaps, be considered to have the same importance as, for instance, the abstention of French Cochin China, to which we have already referred. Nevertheless, it is evident that so long as colonies possessing important ports such as those mentioned above, which could be used for the unrestricted transhipment of opium, morphia, and cocaine to neighbouring countries, refused to be bound by the provisions of the Opium Convention in regard to the international trade in those drugs, we lay ourselves open to the same criticism that we have applied to the refusal of the other countries to sign, namely, that the abstention of those colonies must prove prejudicial to the full and effective enforcement of international measures for the suppression of the illicit trade in opium, morphia, and cocaine. \n\nFinally, we wish again to give public expression to our grateful sense of the obligation under which the Netherland Government have laid all the Governments interested in this humanitarian work, not only by affording us the opportunity of meeting together for discussion, but also for so readily undertaking for the second time the task of securing further signatures to the convention. We feel that the whole world owes a debt of gratitude to the Government of the Netherlands for the repeated proofs they have given of their readiness to promote international settlement of \n\n## Page 345 \n\nTRANSLATION. \"That if the signature of all the Powers invited in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 28 be not obtained by the 31st December, 1913, the Government of the Netherlands do immediately invite the signatory Powers to appoint delegates to proceed to The Hague to examine the possibility of putting in force the International Opium Convention of the 23rd January, 1912.\"",

The same objection is made to the preamble of this article as has been raised to Article II of Section 1.\n\nArticle I. This article, if allowed to stand as drafted, may be construed by the Japanese as giving them the exclusive right to act as political, financial and military advisers to China, thus putting the Republic under Japanese tutelage and destroying her sovereign rights.\n\nSuch a situation could not be tolerated, in view of the large share of trade with China held by the other Treaty Powers and their great proportion of the national debt, to say nothing of the important British interests involving large capital sums invested in China which would be at stake.\n\nArticle II. If granted similar opportunity must be given to other nationalities.\n\nArticle III. The same objection raised as Article I of this section applies to this Article.\n\nArticle IV. The terms of this Article are not, it would appear, in accordance with \"the most favoured nation\" clause of our treaty with China.\n\nArticles V and VI. If the Japanese Government are permitted to construct the lines mentioned in Article V, they will be able to control the greater part of the Southern side of the Yangtse from the sea to Hankow, the valuable district on the shores of the Poyang lake, and thence through the whole length of Kiang-si to Swatow. The latter section will tend to still further strengthen their hold on the province of Fukien, the absorption of which province is foreshadowed in Article VI.\n\nThe\n\nJa pak se to\n\n40 dein sqaoke ytteqorq\n\n14 GU\n\nO",

To enforce this cancellation the London house of Messrs. Keies & Co. did not hesitate to write my Company, on the 24th January last:\n\n\"that our Hongkong friends will only undertake the handling of the balance of the \"Panama\" cargo on condition that the contract made between us on 25th June last, but which is now suspended by the departure of Mr. Cheetham, be withdrawn, and the terms therein be considered null and void.\n\nFailing this arrangement, our Hongkong firm have decided to give up the agency at once.\" \n\nIt is a sad story, as you will observe, and that is why I so far kept it from you, often as I saw you.\n\nOnly a few days ago, on the 28th ulto., I wrote my partner:\n\n\"Well, we shall soon see whether Reiss in London persist and prevail upon us to surrender the business quietly, giving the usual assistance to those other parties in Hongkong and Canton who will be their successors, so that no loss and inconvenience is caused to the Texas Company and us.\n\nThat will be the test and, above all, I hope that the Governor of Hongkong will not put any obstacle into the way of the Texas Company and in ours to let this business be handled by others, should Reiss' refusal force us thereto and should the Texas Company not decide, in face of all this trouble and damage to their business, to open its own offices in Hongkong and Canton.\"\n\nI also wrote to my partner by same mail:\n\n\"Blood and breeding, or the absence of it as the case may be, will out, even after generations. One cannot much blame a Prussian for acting like a Prussian, he does not know better, but one does expect of Englishmen to act like Englishmen.\n\nThat is why Holyoak, immediately he had my letter and became aware of the actual position, swung round; accepting the Joint-agency Agreement in spite of that letter, strongly worded as it was, though only expressive of justified indignation.",

The question, however, of additional amount for tropical service, the 6/60ths at present, has been rather lost sight of, the main consideration being that on retirement after full service the pension may be 2/3 of their salary. Owing, however, to the age of joining the Hong Kong force being usually greater than that of joining home forces, the effects of a tropical climate on health and in consequence less fitness for a long period of service, and to the necessity of long leave, and the time so spent being counted for pension purposes as half service, it seems equitable and just that some addition or alteration is required to the Metropolitan scale of pensions to make such suitable for the Hong Kong service. I attach a tabulated statement of systems of pensions (& diagram of same) calculated for 1st class Inspectors retiring after various periods of service.\n\nAs regards these various schemes.\n\n## Scheme A \nThis is the pension scheme under which men on dollar salaries and who entered the service before 1897 retired. It gives a very fair pension.\n\n## Scheme B \nThis is the present one in force. Under this scheme, Men get less pension than did corresponding officers under Scheme A. It hardly gives a living pension to a man with a wife and possibly children who still need support.\n\n## Scheme C \nThis is the existing Metropolitan Scheme. It gives no allowance for tropical service. It is for men of less than 21 years' service worse than Scheme B, the existing one.\n\n22",

C. and found A.L.S. A.47 Robertson lying on the floor with a lot of blood by the side of him. I immediately informed Inspector MacDonald of what I had seen. I have been living in the same room as deceased for the past two months and I have not noticed anything unusual about him. I cannot give any reason why deceased should have committed this rash act,\n\nJames Lenaghan L.S. A.68 states:- At 4 p.m. on the 21st. Inst. I finished Charge Room duty and went to my quarters and gave to L.S. A.47 Robertson a search warrant to fill in which he had executed earlier that day for a seizure of wood at No. 11 Hau To Street. Then I entered his room he was standing at his chest-of-drawers, and appeared to be in his usual way. I did not notice anything strange or peculiar in his manner.\n\nI shortly afterwards laid down in my bed and went to sleep. About 5 p.m. I was informed by A.L.S. A.122 Dorrington that he (deceased) had shot himself in the W.C. I then accompanied by Inspector MacDonald went to the W.C. and found deceased lying on his back with a bullet wound in his head. He was then unconscious and was holding a Service Automatic Pistol in his left hand which I took possession of. He was afterwards removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nL.S. A.113 A. Clark states:- I have known the late A.L.S. A.47 Robertson for the past five years. We were both at home in the army and were demobilized about the same time in February last. We spent three months' leave together in Dundee before returning to the Colony. He was always in good spirits and never complained of anything to me, I arrived back in the Colony about the end of July this year, and was transferred to No. 7 Police Station. Robertson arrived in the Colony about a fortnight after me and was also transferred to No. 7 Police Station.",

B. M. Consulate-General,\n\nShanghai, 18th March, 1920.\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of March 8th on the subject of the China (Companies) Amendment Order in Council, 1919.\n\nWith reference to paragraph 3 of your letter I would point out that Section 3 of the 1919 Order provides that \"where the general or substantiel control is exercised by persons ordinarily resident within the limits of this Order, the Company shall be a China Company within the meaning of the China (Companies) Order in Council, 1915\". Mr. Kwok Bew was therefore advisedly informed that the Wing On Company (Shanghai) Limited was a China Company within the meaning of the 1915 Order, and would have to comply with its other requirements including a majority of British directors resident in China.\n\nAs regards the enforcement of the 1919 Order, I quite appreciate the anomalous position created by the present difference in the Company law of the Colony and that governing British subjects in China, and it is not my intention to commence any proceedings, which are likely to lead to the situations foreshadowed by you, without previous consultation with the Hongkong authorities. I presume, however, that steps will be taken without delay to bring the Colonial Company legislation into line with the new Order in Council since it would not comport with my duty to ignore much longer an Order in Council which, in the part applicable in this case, came into force two and a half months ago.\n\nThen that has been done, I agree that the procedure suggested in paragraph 5 of your letter under reply will be the most convenient one to follow in ordinary cases.\n\nThe Registrar of Companies,\n\nHongkong.\n\nI have, etc.\n\nsd.\n\nE. H. Fraser,\n\nConsul-General and Registrar\n\nof Companies.\n\nPage 300\n\nPage 301",

Hongkong Certificate is not accepted. Forwarding three copies Act.\" |\n\nThe three copies of the Canadian Shipping Act have also come to hand.\n\nParagraph 571 provides for reciprocal recognition of passenger certificates, and such recognition is universally granted by the leading maritime nations of the world. As an instance of this the U.S. Government give British steamers exemption from inspection if provided with British passenger certificates issued either at home or in the colonies. It will surely create a rather difficult position if the various parts of the British Empire refuse to recognise each other's certificates, as they are all based on essentially similar legislation.\n\nWe feel sure that Messrs. Alfred Holt & Co. will be most surprised at your decision and will wish to refer this matter both to the Board of Trade and the Colonial Office.\n\nBefore we take the matter up with the owners, would you kindly let us have a copy of the Order, or Departmental Instruction, under which recognition of other colonial certificates is henceforth to be refused, stating at the same time whether Board of Trade passenger certificates will or will not be recognised. As the matter is one of urgency we shall appreciate a prompt reply.\n\nYours faithfully \n\nPer Pro DODWELL & CO., LTD.",

Union is strength.\n\nForeigners are apt to meer at the spasmodic nature of Chinese\n\neffort, and at our inability to unite. The proverb says: Many\n\nhands make light work. Labour's strong point, that which will\n\ngive it the victory in its warfare with capital, lies in its superiority in numbers. But if you do not act as one body, capital will not find it difficult to break you.\n\n3. Strict preservation of order.\n\nOur grievance lies against our enemies, the capitalists. We\n\nmust be careful not to offend those who are helping us. Our\n\nwords and actions must be kept within due limits. We must\n\nscrupulously abide by enlightened methods in soliciting the\n\nhelp of our friends against our enemies.\n\n4. The importance of self control.\n\nThere are several thousands of us in Canton, and we are deeply\n\ngrateful for all the help and kindness shewn to us by\n\nsympathisers.\n\nBut we must remember that the enemy's spies are skilled in\n\nmisrepresentation. Masquerading as seamen, they deliberately\n\ndo all sorts of discreditable things with the object of weaken- ing our cohesion.\n\nIt behoves us therefore to take the utmost care in our most\n\ntrivial actions: otherwise we may give cause to sneer at the\n\nlowness of our standard. We must constantly reflect whether\n\nanything in our conduct may give rise to unfavourable comment.\n\nBeloved seamen and sympathisers, we know that capital is\n\ndrawing its last breath. But we must also remember the contul-\n\nsive flare of an expiring lantern, and redouble our efforts, and be on our guard against some great blow of such a convul-\n\nsive nature.\n\nOur association regards the seamen as the first line flung for-\n\nward in the war of classes that has begun, and it is our duty\n\nto reinforce you with all our might.\n\nRally, rally, and fight with your eye on our banner, and we\n\nshall look forward to a glorious victory.",

An unsatisfactory feature of the affair was the impossibility of getting any information as to the intimidation that was going on. The Chinese Police and the District Watchmen Force were entirely useless in this respect though they must have had the amplest evidence available, and the merchant class divulged nothing, though the reason in their case was that they were terrified of consequences,\n\n18.\n\nThe Government took immediate steps to deal with the situation. It was apparent that all labour was under orders to leave the Colony for Canton, and on the 28th February an order was issued extending to persons of Chinese race the rule already in force in the case of Europeans, that no one might go out without a passport or a pass.\n\nOn the afternoon of the 28th February an ordinance was passed giving the Governor-in-Council powers to make any emergency regulations whatsoever in the public interest, and regulations of a far-reaching character were forthwith made. Arrangements had already been made for manning all the essential services of the Colony, and the men were warned to be ready to take up their posts. A strike advisory committee, composed partly of officials and partly of leading members of the community,\n\nmet daily to arrange for organisation in every direction, and matters were put in train for carrying on all the Colony's services by means of European labour. A censorship of letters and telegrams between Hongkong and Canton was established for the purpose mainly of stopping the strike organizers' obvious lines of communication. The strike spread rapidly. Domestic servants came out first and practically every class of labour followed suit, with the exception of men directly employed by the Government, the most important section of whom were the scavenging coolies.

On the other hand it should be borne in mind that the Colony will be losing interest on their purchase money while the land is being developed, and also expending capital on building on the new site to be given to War Department before they obtain possession of the old War Department site.\n\nTaking into account relationships between the War Department and the Colonial Government it is recommended that the view of the latter be accepted.\n\nThe Colonial Government state \"The acceptance of the figures would not bind the War Department to the surrender of the land but such areas as it gives up would be debited against the Colony at the rates shown\".\n\n(3) The Colonial Government points out that the Military Lands Account has hitherto been regarded only as a record of transactions involving no cash payments and suggests that it would be more convenient to open a special account in connection with this scheme.

After due consideration the Consular Body decided to refrain from delivering a local protest of this nature in the absence of a foreign request to the Commissioner of Customs, but the Senior Consul subsequently requested instructions from the Doyen as to what steps the Consular Body were entitled to take in the event of similar cases arising in the future. This aspect of the matter is still under consideration of the Corps Diplomatique, but when Doyen's Circular covering the Canton Senior Consul's communication above referred to reached me I minuted it to the effect that the seizure of a foreign merchant ship by the Chinese local authorities in violation of the shipping rights enjoyed by the country whose flag the vessel flies appeared to me to be a matter to be dealt with by the Diplomatic and/or Consular Representatives of that country, and that in these circumstances I could not see my way to issue instructions to His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton to meet the hypothetical cases raised by the Consular Body, such cases as they arise having to be treated on their merits by the authorities of the State concerned.\n\nThe seizure of the arms by `Destor hun Yat-sma` naturally caused widespread discontent amongst the local merchants and resulted in the declaration of a general strike of merchants not only in Canton (Chinese City) but in a number of the outlying towns. This strike, which appears to have been settled, will form the subject of a further despatch which I shall forward to you on receipt of full particulars from `it.

I will follow the provided rules to proofread and correct the text.\n\n## Step 1: Analyze the input text\nThe input text appears to be a mix of nonsensical words, jumbled characters, and what seems to be a page number (\"៩៩៥\" and \"594\"). The text does not seem to be in a coherent language or format.\n\n## Step 2: Identify potential page numbering\nThe presence of \"៩៩៥\" at the beginning and \"594\" at the end suggests that these might be page numbers. However, the format does not match the expected \"Page XX\" format.\n\n## Step 3: Look for coherent text or structure\nUpon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the text is heavily corrupted and does not contain coherent sentences or paragraphs.\n\n## Step 4: Apply OCR proofreading rules\nGiven the rules, the primary task is to correct spelling errors, fix spacing issues, and rejoin broken sentences. However, the input text is too corrupted to apply these rules effectively.\n\n## Step 5: Determine the best course of action\nSince the text is heavily jumbled and does not contain recognizable words or sentences, the best course of action is to indicate that the text is unrecoverable or provide a representation of the original text with minimal changes.\n\n## Step 6: Format the output according to the rules\nThe output should be in HTML format using `` for paragraphs.

He thought that this left very little ground for considering further motive measures against the Canton Government.\n\nSir G. Grindle said there were three points to consider: (1) it was possible that the Cantonese were merely manoeuvring to gain time for their forces to establish themselves on the Yangtze: (2) whether or not an ultimatum was to be presented to Canton now, it would certainly be advisable for us to consider very carefully what possible action we could take, short of a blockade if, on October 10th, the Cantonese had not carried out their promise to raise the boycott: (3) was it the considered opinion of the Admiralty that the removal of cargo junks was impracticable?\n\nGeneral Charles pointed out that measures short of a blockade would, no less than a full blockade, involve the evacuation of Shameen, because in the case of trouble a cutting-out expedition would be necessary to save them and this might involve a very large operation.\n\nIt was agreed that the Admiralty should consider whether any action short of a blockade would be possible, and in particular whether the Commodore's suggestion was practicable.

        "content_text": "## CORRESPONDENCE.\n\n### Slavery.\n\n(To the Editor, S. C. M. Post.)\n\nIn your issue of May 24 last you announced in regard to the status of mui tsai that “An interesting notification has been issued by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs explaining the status of the mui tsai. This intimation, which appeared in the Chinese newspapers yesterday, led to the effect that mui tsai are not the property of their masters or mistresses and that they are free at any time to return to their parents or guardians.\n\n\"The notice, which is issued on the instructions of H.E. the Governor, points out that slavery is prohibited in all British Colonies, etc., etc.\"\n\nIn yesterday's paper you publish an account of the sale of a boy to a certain Fung Yau, of No. 101, Praya East. According to this news, the sale was \"a perfectly lawful transaction which had taken place through the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs\" and that \"there were several witnesses to prove the sale of the boy, who changed hands for a sum of $140.\"\n\nTaking for granted that the facts are as stated, it would certainly be interesting to know whether child slavery is or is not still practiced in the Colony with the knowledge and consent of the Government, despite the fact of its acknowledged illegality. If a mui tsai is not the property of her master or mistress and is free at any time to return to her parents, what about the boy in this case?\n\nThe question of slavery or domestic bondage is not one to be laughed at and is to be condemned from every point of view. If the notification of the Secretariat of Chinese Affairs is not used to letter it is time that the local courts and the police took cognizance of the fact and something was done to rid the Colony of this stain on its escutcheon.\n\nYours, etc.,  \nW.\n\n## OPIUM TRAFFIC.\n\n### Railway Firemen in the Dock.\n\n#### THREE MEN CHARGED.\n\nThe three employees of the Kowloon Canton Railway who were arrested on Thursday in connection with a quantity of raw opium which was found by Revenue Officers prior to the departure of the 12.7 train, appeared before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday morning.\n\nThe first defendant, an engineer, was charged with dealing in raw opium as well as being in possession of 20 taels. The other two men, both of whom were described as stokers, were alleged to have been in possession of 20 taels of raw opium.\n\nMr. H. S. Loseby appeared for the second and third defendants and asked for a date to be fixed for the hearing. On being told that the first date convenient to his Worship was Saturday, August 17, Mr. Loseby suggested that the case be adjourned till Monday when he would be in a better position to say how long the case was likely to take. Detective Sergeant Fitches said the sale was \"...\". Mr. Loseby added, \"It may be that the charge will be dropped after I have had a discussion with the Revenue Officer.\"\n\nHis Worship smiled, causing Mr. Loseby to remark:-\"It very often happens your Worship.\"\n\nLater in the morning, Mr. B. C. K. Hawkins appeared in Court and when the question of bail was brought up Mr. Hawkins said the Department regarded the first defendant's offence very seriously indeed and would ask for $2,000 bail. In the case of the second and third defendants, the prosecution was not asking for such heavy bail. They were firemen under the first defendant and therefore were not, possibly, in a position to help themselves. The prosecution would accept $500 bail each.\n\nMr. Hawkins later said that Mr. J. Smith, of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, had just told him that the railway were extremely short of firemen and therefore wanted the case decided one way or the other as soon as possible.\n\nIn view of what Mr. Smith had said, the prosecution was prepared to accept $100 bail each in the case of the second and third defendants.\n\nThe three defendants were accordingly remanded till Monday, the first on $2,000 bail and the others on $100 each.\n\n## \"The Peking Man.\"\n\nSir,-It is refreshing to read the article headed \"The Peking Man\" appearing in your issue of the 9th August, 1929, the more so, since it helps to confirm my 1914 discovery that Chinese Turkestan (Sinkiang basin), the locality between the Tienshan and Kuenlun mountains, is the Cradle of the Human Race and the \"Garden of Eden\" of Genesis of the Bible, and which is supported and proved by my 27 supplementary pamphlets and special articles, published between the years 1915 and 1926.\n\nMy discovery is the result of years of patient research work in connection with the study of Ancient Chinese Historical Records, Genesis of the Bible, the geological conditions of the different continents, and the reports of explorers and archaeologists. And it was the intensive study of the geological conditions of the different continents and the origin of the world's big loess deposits, which confirmed me in my discovery of the great upheaval of Central Asia and the subsidence of a large mass of continental land in the Pacific Ocean, and my belief that the solution of all existing scientific and geological riddles is centered in the fact that the flooding of all the different continents of the World by a 'Tidal Wave' was caused by this great upheaval and subsidence of land.\n\nAnd it is this great upheaval and subsidence of land which is responsible for the \"changes\" (shifting of the Polar regions) which have taken place in the Arctic regions, and the erroneous belief in four \"Ice Ages,\" which are, in fact, climatic changes due to the sudden advance and retreat of the Arctic cold, which affected North America, northern Asia, and the north of Europe.\n\nDr. Grabau himself thinks that the most likely region for the origin of man is the Sinkiang basin (Chinese Turkestan), and this confirms my discovery. Dr. Grabau also refers to \"the tilting up of the Himalayas,\" which also confirms my discovery of the upheaval of Central Asia.\n\nDr. Grabau believes that one branch of this primitive race passed Southward to Cathaysia, and others came East to China, while others went to Europe.\n\nThe finding of two human molar teeth formed the first clue to the hunt for primitive man in Asia, and they were found as the result of investigations made in the first place by Dr. J. G. Andersson, Swedish adviser to the Chinese Geological Survey in 1926 at a place called Choukoutien, south-west of Peking. The second and most important discovery of parts of skeletons, including several jaws and teeth, a brain case, and other bones (Eolithic or \"dawn stone age\") was made by Dr. Li and Dr. Birger Bohlin of the Chinese Geological Survey in the fall of 1928.\n\nRegarding these discoveries Dr. Amadeus W. Grabau, for 18 years Professor of Palaeontology at the University of Columbia and widely known as one of the greatest living authorities on the subject, has expressed himself as follows:\n\n\"This is the most important find of early human remains yet made.\" In support of this view, he gave the following five reasons:\n\n1. The \"Peking Man\" actually was found by scientifically trained investigators who knew what they were looking for, whereas both the \"Piltdown Man\" and the \"Heidelberg Man\" were found accidentally by workmen.\n2. The remains were found in association with a wealth of contemporaneous material, including fossilized bones of animals whose position in the geological scale is definitely known.\n3. Remains of more than one individual have been found - perhaps as many as half a dozen.\n4. Its significant location at the eastern end of the Eurasian continent, as opposed to the \"Piltdown Man\" at the western end.\n5. The teeth reveal it to be more human than the \"Piltdown Man,\" which was more ape than human.\n\nWhen the type originated is uncertain, but most of the scientists who have the question under study in Peking feel that the probabilities point to Central Asia.\n\nLet us hope that further investigations by these worthy Scientists will lead to the solution of this interesting and absorbing question (Cradle of the Human Race).\n\nYours, etc.,  \nTSE TSAN-TAI.\n\n### An Alarm of Fire.\n\nAn alarm of fire was raised last night shortly before ten o'clock at the Japanese hair-dressing saloon at No. 20, Wyndham Street, but a small outbreak which had occurred was extinguished with the help of three Indian constables who arrived on the scene. No damage was done.",

        "content_text": "50\n\nSpeech of H. H. Sir Henry Gollan, Kt., K.C., C.B.E., M.A. (Edin.)\n\nVice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong.\n\nYour Excellencies, Members of the Court, Ladies, and Gentlemen. In commencing his speech at the congregation of 1928, the Vice-Chancellor welcomed H. E. the Chancellor back to the University. I must commence mine by expressing our deep and lasting regret at his impending departure. The University has passed through difficult times during his tenure of office, but it has ever had from him a ready and sympathetic hearing. It could have had no truer friend and no stouter champion than its present Chancellor; and I desire, on behalf of the University, to thank His Excellency for all that he has done for it, and to wish him success and happiness in his new sphere of activities. I am confident that I need not ask of him continued interest in the University of Hong Kong.\n\nSuccesses and Achievements,\n\nSo far as the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Hornell, is concerned, his absence is merely temporary, and he will shortly return to his accustomed place with renewed humorous zest. Meantime, it falls to me to understudy him and to take stock of the successes, achievements, resources, and requirements of the University; and I will first deal with the successes and achievements because they are the justification for its existence and for all claims to continued and increasing support made on its behalf.\n\nThirty-four members of the University will be presented at this congregation to receive due academic recognition; eighteen of them are from the Medical Faculty, five from the Engineering Faculty, and eleven from the Arts Faculty.\n\nI must particularly refer to the success of the Engineering graduates who proceeded to the degree of B.Sc. at the Congregation of 1929. All five were awarded honours by the London University Assessors, one in the First class and the remaining four in the Second class, a result most gratifying and creditable to teachers and to taught.\n\nTwo gentlemen, who are already graduates of the University, will also be presented to receive higher degrees. Dr. M. B. Osman, who graduated as M.B., B.S., in 1924, has passed the M.D. examination in Pathology. And S. B. Ahmed, who graduated as B.Sc. in Engineering in 1925, has qualified for the degree of M.Sc. in respect of a thesis entitled \"The Theory of Earth Pressure as applied to Retaining Walls.\" The scientific value of the thesis is made clear by the academic recognition it will receive; its practical value is also clear to the unscientific who gaze at the retaining walls of Hong Kong and are filled with grateful wonder that more of them don't give way.\n\nIncreased Rolls.\n\nOn 31st December, 1929, there were 315 students on the rolls of the University:\n\n  \n    Faculty\n    Men\n    Women\n    Total\n  \n  \n    Medicine\n    139\n    13\n    152\n  \n  \n    Arts\n    76\n    19\n    95\n  \n  \n    Engineering\n    68\n    \n    68\n  \n  \n    \n    283\n    32\n    315\n  \n\nThere is an increase of six as compared with the total number of students as at 31st December, 1928. The increase is not great; but, still, it is an increase.\n\nOn behalf of the University, I congratulate those of its members who will receive their due rewards at the hands of the Chancellor to-day.

        "content_text": "137\n\nSpeech of H. H. Sir Henry Gollan, Kt., K.C., C.B.E., M.A. (Edin.)\n\nVice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong.\n\nYour Excellencies, Members of the Court, Ladies, and Gentlemen.-In commencing his speech at the congregation of 1928, the Vice-Chancellor welcomed H. E. the Chancellor back to the University. I must commence mine by expressing our deep and lasting regret at his impending departure. The University has passed through difficult times during his tenure of office, but it has ever had from him a ready and sympathetic hearing. It could have had no truer friend and no stouter champion than its present Chancellor; and I desire, on behalf of the University, to thank His Excellency for all that he has done for it, and to wish him success and happiness in his new sphere of activities. I am confident that I need not ask of him continued interest in the University of Hong Kong,\n\nSuccesses and Achievements.\n\nSo far as the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Hornell, is concerned, his absence is merely temporary, and he will shortly return to his accustomed place with renewed humorous zest. Meantime, it falls to me to understudy him and to take stock of the successes, achievements, resources and requirements of the University; and I will first deal with the successes and achievements because they are the justification for its existence and for all claims to continued and increasing support made on its behalf.\n\nThirty-four members of the University will be presented at this congregation to receive due academic recognition; eighteen of them are from the Medical Faculty, five from the Engineering Faculty, and eleven from the Arts Faculty.\n\nI must particularly refer to the success of the Engineering graduates who proceeded to the degree of B.Sc. at the Congregation of 1929. All five were awarded honours by the London University Assessors, one in the First class and the remaining four in the Second class, a result most gratifying and creditable to teachers and to taught.\n\nTwo gentlemen, who are already graduates of the University, will also be presented to receive higher degrees. Dr. M. B. Osman, who graduated as M.B., B.S., in 1924, has passed the M.D. examination in Pathology. And S. B. Ahmed, who graduated as B.Sc. in Engineering in 1925, has qualified for the degree of M.Sc. in respect of a thesis entitled \"The Theory of Earth Pressure as applied to Retaining Walls.\" The scientific value of the thesis is made clear by the academic recognition it will receive; its practical value is also clear to the unscientific who gaze at the retaining walls of Hong Kong and are filled with grateful wonder that more of them don't give way.\n\nIncreased Rolls.\n\nOn 31st December, 1929, there were 315 students on the rolls of the University:\n\n  \n    Faculty\n    Men\n    Women\n    Total\n  \n  \n    Medicine\n    139\n    13\n    152\n  \n  \n    Arts\n    76\n    19\n    95\n  \n  \n    Engineering\n    68\n    \n    68\n  \n  \n    \n    283\n    32\n    315\n  \n\nThere is an increase of six as compared with the total number of students as at 31st December, 1928. The increase is not great; but, still, it is an increase.\n\nOn behalf of the University I congratulate those of its members who will receive their due rewards at the hands of the Chancellor to-day. In most instances they will have run their Academic Course, but they will be but commencing their career in the Great World outside these walls. They have received the best the University can give; and gratitude, no less than enlightened self-interest, requires of them they should uphold its reputation and honour in their new life.\n\n[1]",

I have sent you a letter which I believe has reached you. Now I am entrusted by our Government with an important post to take responsibility for the pacification and suppression of pirates in Bias Bay. As the pirates often take Hong Kong as their rendezvous, which is beyond the jurisdiction of our Government, it is difficult for me to clear them up, but if you will co-operate with me, then Dong Kong and Kwong Tang will be the same as one place, communicating with each other, and the pirates dare not again take Hong Kong as their haunt. Since I took up the post, I have made captures in the Dein Aing and Hirundo piracy cases. As to the Elikon piracy, which was committed as far back as July or August last, I had to try my utmost before I could find out that the pirates, together with their captives, were hiding at Leung Fa and Lai Wong Leng. Raids were made at these two places but without success. The pirates, then taking the captives with them, ran into the Ku Tin Mountain, which is a great mountain with thick forest, lying at the boundary between Wai Chow, Ye Kam, Hoi Fung, and Luk Fung Districts.\n\nAlthough a battalion of troops was sent there to carry out a raid, it would be difficult to break up their den. On this account, I was obliged to command my men to approach the various villages in the vicinity of Leung Fa and Lai Kwong Leng on 8.3.31, giving orders to the villages that the captives be handed out within a period of three...",

        "content_text": "45\n\nMorbidity. This year we have been fortunate in having a very low morbidity rate; unquestionably the health of the hospital has been improving during the past few years. In the Government Civil Hospital we are indebted to the Principal Matron for meeting our wishes with regard to placing an experienced Sister in Charge of the Bungalow, and we have to thank Sister Lace for the great improvement which has taken place during her time. According to the B.M.A. standard the combined morbidity rate of the two hospitals was 3.85%. (Tsan Yuk 3%, Bungalow 4.7%)\n\nMortality. At the Tsan Yuk Hospital out of a total of 1,292 cases there were two deaths, and at the Maternity Bungalow of the Government Hospital there were 4 deaths out of 540 cases; giving a total mortality of .53%.\n\n2. Gynecology. Diseases peculiar to women.\n\nDuring the year there were 304 admissions to the hospital wards (206 to the Tsan Yuk and 98 to the Government Civil Hospital). The total number of operations performed was 196.\n\nThere were approximately 1,133 attendances at the Out-Patient Departments.\n\nGENERAL.\n\nPublished work and papers submitted to Medical Journals include the following:-\n\n\"Aids to Gynecology\" Edition. In printer's hands.\n\n\"Acquired Atresia of the Genital Tract.\" Submitted to The Journal of Obstetrics & Gynæcology of the British Empire.\n\n\"Life History of Pedunculated Myomata of the Uterus.\" Submitted to the Journal of Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics.\n\n\"Impressions of Continental Clinics.\" Caduceus.\n\n\"Clinical Report of the Obstetrical & Gynecological Department.\" Caduceus.\n\n\"A Handbook of Midwifery\" by R. E. Tottenham.\n\n28\n\nDEPARTMENT OF PATHOLOGY.\n\nStaff:- L. J. Davis, M.D. (Edin.), Professor of Pathology.\n\nAssistant to Professor of Pathology: Vacant.\n\nOwing to the death of Professor C. Y. Wang in December 1930, the Chair of Pathology was vacant during practically the whole of 1931 as the new Professor did not arrive in the Colony until December of that year.\n\nThe teaching work of the Department was carried on by part-time lecturers. Instruction in Pathology was given by Major Rowlett, R.A.M.C., during the Spring Term and by Dr. J. W. Anderson during the Autumn Term, and Dr. R. S. Begbie gave instruction in Bacteriology during both the Spring and Autumn Terms. The routine pathological and bacteriological diagnostic work which is performed for the University Medical, Surgical and Gynecological clinics was under the supervision of Professor W. I. Gerrard, Dr. A. V. Greaves and Dr. J. S. Guzdar, the last named having been attached to the Department on a part-time basis during the period under review.\n\n1,427 specimens were submitted for bacteriological or serological examination; 188 for histo-pathological diagnosis and 32 post-mortem examinations were performed at the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nIt was apparent to the new Professor on his arrival, that the complaint set forth by his predecessor in the Annual Report for 1929 was fully justified. The available accommodation was obviously inadequate for the proper functioning of a combined department of Pathology and Bacteriology in a University medical school. Plans were immediately drawn up for the subdivision of the main class-room to provide, as a temporary expedient, two rooms suitable for routine work and for research.\n\nAnother severe handicap the Department appears to have been labouring under is the lack of adequate technical assistance. One trained Laboratory Assistant and three illiterate coolies will not suffice the needs of a University laboratory attempting teaching, routine work and research in Pathology and Bacteriology. Parsimony in this connection obviously savours of the proverbial \"pennyworth of tar,\" for however short-staffed a Department of this nature be in its professional personnel, given enthusiasm on\n\n44\n\n29\n\n46",

A. Mollison, of four days seventeen hours by ten and a half hours and that despite nine hours lost at Benguella owing to lack of oil pressure, due to sand getting into her engine while crossing the Sahara.\n\nThe King sent his hearty congratulations on her splendid achievement.\n\nLast May Miss Amelia Earhart achieved lasting fame as the first woman to fly the Atlantic alone, and she was awarded the American Distinguished Flying Cross by President Hoover. We hope that our own country will be no less generous in bestowing on Mrs. Mollison a suitable honour.\n\nUniversity Woman's Appointment\n\nMiss A. Margaret Tillyard, M.A., has been appointed by the chief officers of the Halls of Residence as one of their representatives upon the Court of Governors of the University of Manchester.\n\nWoman Chairman of Health Committee\n\nMiss K. M. Worrall has been selected as chairman of Birkenhead Health Committee. She is the first woman in Birkenhead to occupy that position.\n\nWoman's Advertising Post\n\nMrs. Simmonds has been appointed as their advertising manager by Messrs. Wolsey, Ltd., the British hosiery manufacturing firm. This is said to be one of the biggest appointments in the world of advertising. Mrs. Simmonds for some time previously had been conducting market research for this firm. She was formerly private secretary to Sir William Crawford, head of one of the big London advertising agencies.\n\nWoman Sculptor Wins Again\n\nMiss Helen V. Mackay has for the second year in succession been awarded the £100 prize given annually by the Feodora Gleichen Memorial Fund for the best piece of work by a woman sculptor.\n\nWomen to Make Films\n\nTo-day's Cinema reports that an organisation of women has just been formed to produce films. The company is being registered as the British Women's Picture Corporation. The president will be the Dowager Lady Raglan.\n\nWOMEN LAWYERS\n\nLast week six women were among the ninety-one successful law students called to the bar in the hall of the Inns of Court. They were: Mrs. Alice G. Morrice (Lincoln's Inn); Miss E. I. Froggatt (Inner Temple); Miss Ursula B. C. Newell (Middle Temple); Dr. Flora H. M. Calder (Middle Temple); Miss Marie M. Delage (Gray's Inn); Miss Mary R. Tabor (Gray's Inn).\n\nMiss Newell was called at the same time as her elder brother, and is the daughter of a retired County Court Judge. Dr. Flora Calder, M.A., M.D., Ch.B., Edin. Univ., D.P.M., Royal College of Physicians, Eng., is an assistant medical officer of the County Mental Hospital, Winwick, Warrington. Miss Mary Tabor is a municipal officer of the Norwich Corporation. She has been in the city engineer's estates department since March.\n\nThe following women were among the successful candidates at the Intermediate Examination of the Law Society (for solicitors), held on November 2nd and 3rd. A candidate is not obliged to take both parts of the examination at the same time:\n\nPassed: Mabel Harold.\n\nThe following passed the legal portion only: Hilda M. Charbonnier, Freda Gaukroger, Dorothy Hedges, Agnes W. Knight, Annie D. Litten, Joan L. S. O'Connor.\n\nThe following passed the trust accounts and book-keeping portion only: Anne E. James.\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nTHE BEGUM SHAH NAWAZ\n\nThe Begum Shah Nawaz, the only woman among thirty-two Indian representatives appointed to attend the third Indian Round Table Conference, arrived in London last Saturday. She then stated that she hoped to help to do great things for India, and particularly for the women of India. Things were improving, she said, but there was need for much further advance.\n\nThe Conference entered upon its detailed work at the House of Lords last Monday.\n\nA NEW CECIL HOUSE\n\nThe thrill of a fifth Cecil House for homeless women is the hope of the immediate future. To collect funds for this a meeting was convened by Mrs. Cecil Chesterton and her supporters at the Cambridge Theatre (London) on November 18. It was marvellous, for there were nine speakers and more, and not a touch of dullness! The aim was its own plea. A warm glow of generous love seemed to flood the packed theatre, and every word from the platform increased it. Already a site has been found and secured across the river—in Tower Street, S.E.1. To set it going £5,000 is needed, towards which a creditable sum was raised.\n\nThere were two M.P.s—Mr. Adrian Moreing, a Londoner, in the chair; and Mr. D. G. Somerville, who, with Miss Helena Pickard, ably raked in cheques and \"promises,\" and new subscribers. Both members shed all the trappings of Parliamentary eloquence and became inspiringly human and direct in this heart-warming cause. Mr. Louis Golding made a tender, poetical speech, paying special tribute to the old women uprooted in the storms of life, to whom the Cecil Houses are such a boon; of their charm, and their subtle spiritual relationships. \"All things they have in common being so poor.\" Miss Sheila Kaye Smith followed, with what he had called her \"Green Apple\" eloquence, and spoke of what it meant to every woman to come back to a bed after a long, tiring day—even more than it meant to a man: \"Women must have what they call a home.\" It is essential to the feminine nature.\n\nAnd at a Cecil House it is \"home\" with bed, warmth, and food for 1s. a night. No forms to fill in—the need of shelter passport enough. But some have the shilling and can't get in. Mr. J. B. Priestley, introduced by Mr. Moreing as a \"Good Companion,” also said a few sympathetic words.\n\nMr. Ernest Milton, who had been over two Cecil Houses, said how much he was struck by their brightness of colouring, and by the atmosphere of confidence and friendliness and self-respect. He described the attitude of the matrons as more like that of \"a pleasant buxom hostess of a solid provincial hotel.\"\n\nWhen Mrs. Chesterton entered a house with a cheery \"Good evening, ladies,\" she came as a woman and a friend.\n\nThe Chairman presented Mrs. Chesterton as the \"heroine of the work.\" She spoke in moving words of what could be done for the \"down-and-outs\" in giving them back their self-respect and fighting spirit. And she told how at the Harrow Road House they were getting new recruits of a different class: trained nurses, girl clerks, and others, unemployed and cut off by poverty from their own kind. Dainty Miss Pickard related a personal experience of being stranded in Hanley (Staffs) when on tour, and how she had longed for a Cecil House.\n\nE. M. E.\n\nSIXTEEN WOMEN MAYORS!\n\nAlderman Mrs. Keynes, Mayor of Cambridge, points out an omission in our list of Women Mayors—Mrs. Carr, Mayor of Godmanchester. This brings the number of women mayors up to sixteen—six of whom are in East Anglia.\n\nPage 379\n\nFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1932\n\nChild Marriage\n\nTHE VOTE\n\nIN PARLIAMENT\n\nMISS RATHBONE (Ind., Eng. Universities) on November 14 asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Census Reports for 1931 are sufficiently available for him to supply figures showing whether and to what extent, the practice of child marriage in India has decreased since the previous census.\n\nSIR SAMUEL HOARE: I regret that I am not yet in a position to supply this information.\n\nMISS RATHBONE asked the Secretary of State for India (1) if he will supply figures showing the number of prosecutions that have taken place under the Sarda Act in Restraint of Child Marriage in the years 1930, 1931, and 1932 respectively; (2) if he can now report the result of his inquiries on the question whether, and to what extent, the provincial governments are carrying into effect the administrative measures recommended by the Joshi Committee three years ago as being necessary for the successful enforcement of the Sarda Act in Restraint of Child Marriage.\n\nMR. GEORGE HALL (Lab., Aberdare) asked the Secretary of State for India how many prosecutions have taken place under the Child Marriage Restraint Act, No. 19 of 1929 (the Sarda Act), and with what result.\n\nSIR S. HOARE: I am not in possession of figures showing the numbers of prosecutions and convictions under the Sarda Act, but I will obtain them. The result of the inquiries made of local governments regarding the recommendations of the Joshi Committee have not yet been received, but I will inquire how the matter stands.\n\nMISS RATHBONE: Does the right hon. gentleman not think that there has been great dilatoriness on the part of the provincial governments, inasmuch as it is two years since the inquiry was circulated and that a year ago he undertook to remind the provincial governments of it; and, in view of the fact that the Act was passed with the strong approval of the Government at Delhi, as being necessary to remove \"a great and corroding evil\"—I think those were the words—does he think that the provincial governments are showing enough zeal in seeing to it that the Act is not made a dead letter?\n\nSIR S. HOARE: The hon. lady knows that the Act raises many important questions, and I think she would not expect me to express an opinion as to the attitude of the provincial governments. I am having compiled for her the information for which she has asked, and, as soon as I have it, she will get it.\n\nMaternity and Child Welfare (Grants)\n\nMR. PARKINSON (Lab., Wigan) on November 15 asked the Minister of Health what grant will be made towards maternity and child-welfare services during the current year; and what was the amount in the year 1931.\n\nMR. SHAKESPEARE (Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Health): Under the Local Government Act, 1929, separate grants for maternity and child-welfare services, other than the training of midwives and health visitors, ceased to be payable in respect of any year after the financial year 1929-30.\n\nThe amount of the discontinued grant formerly paid by the Exchequer in respect of these services was included in determining the loss on account of grants under the Act.\n\nHouse of Lords\n\nMR. MANDER (Lib., Wolverhampton E.) on November 17 asked the Prime Minister whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation dealing with the reform of the House of Lords on the lines of the report recently issued, or on other lines.\n\nTHE PRIME MINISTER: The Government have not considered this question.\n\nNIGHT EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN\n\n\"The Times\" reports that the Permanent Court of International Justice recently delivered its advisory opinion on the following question, submitted to it by the Council of the League of Nations at the request of the Governing Body of the International Labour Office:\n\nDoes the Convention concerning employment of women during the night adopted in 1919 by the International Labour Conference, apply, in the industrial undertakings covered by the said Convention, to women who hold positions of supervision or management and are not ordinarily engaged in manual work?\n\nBy six votes against five the Court answered this question in the affirmative.\n\nThe question had its origin in a difficulty which the British Government had encountered for several years past in the application of Article 3 of the Convention: “Women, without distinction of age, shall not be employed during the night in any public or private industrial undertaking, or in any branch thereof, other than an undertaking in which only members of the same family are employed.\"\n\nBritish Government regarded this provision as applying to all women, without exception, employed in industry, but at the same time they considered that an exception ought to be made in favour of women occupying posts of supervision or management. They therefore proposed that the Convention should be revised in that sense.\n\nThe Court rejected arguments which had been put forward to show that the natural meaning of the Article might be disregarded. The first of these was to the effect that the Washington Convention, being a Labour Convention in the sense of the Labour portions of the Peace Treaties of 1919, ought to be interpreted as applicable solely to manual workers. The next was that the circumstances in which the Convention was adopted in Washington furnished adequate grounds for restricting its application to women engaged in manual work, more especially because the Washington Convention was merely an extension and application of the Berne Convention of 1906, an instrument which was concerned solely with women performing manual work. Lastly, there was the argument that the Convention of Washington did not cover women occupying posts of management, because in 1919 such cases were very few in number, and therefore were not under consideration.\n\nWOMEN'S WORK IN THE CHURCH\n\nIn his first presidential address to the Southwark Diocesan Conference, held recently, Dr. Parsons, Bishop of Southwark, referred to the problem of the shortage of trained women workers in the Church.\n\nHe said that at present a commission which had been appointed by the two archbishops were considering the matter. Personally, he was convinced that the life and work of the Church would never be as healthy and as efficient as it should be until educated and specially trained women were given scope and opportunity for their talents and ministrations in the Church's service as full and free as was given to men of similar education and training.\n\nIt was a matter of very grave concern that at a time when larger opportunities of service and of influence were opening out to women in so many other directions, in the Church, just when a supply of women duly qualified to serve it was forthcoming, the demand for that supply should be diminished.\n\nYOUNG WOMEN AVIATORS' ENTERPRISE\n\nMiss Joan Page, daughter of Sir Arthur Page, and Miss Audrey Sale Barker, recently flew to South Africa, where they carried consignments of Cow and Gate milk food to introduce to South Africans.\n\nPage 20",

I am to express regret at the delay in replying to your letter of 5th May. The delay was due to the fact that renewed prospects of civil war made it peculiarly difficult to take the action suggested in your letter, while the situation was also unfavourable for the alternative policy of making a renewed attempt to induce other countries to enforce regulations in conformity with the regulations of the Chinese Government.\n\n3. The Board will appreciate that the recent establishment of Central Government authority in the Southern provinces of China cannot but restrict the market for arms to be imported in contravention of the Central Government regulations. In fact, the benefit to British exporters of the relaxation of the restrictions at present imposed would now appear to be slight. It is also, perhaps, pertinent to ask whether exporters would be able to take full advantage of any additional orders that they might obtain, having regard to the difficulty that they not infrequently experience in fulfilling legitimate orders. Mr. Eden would therefore suggest that in present circumstances the benefits accruing to United Kingdom manufacturers from a relaxation of the existing restrictions could not be held to outweigh the political objections to such a step. Relaxation, even if justified by substantial benefit to United Kingdom interests, could hardly fail to provoke parliamentary criticism in this country.

        "content_text": "55\n\nIn Eden's mind are the considerations of foreign policy involved. The Chinese Government, it is true, could not as formally represent their relation as intervention in favour of the South-West Political Council; they might, however, be disposed to see in it an encouragement to such separatist elements as may still persist or may be tempted to show themselves in the future. Again, the Japanese Government might regard any increase in the facilities for the export of munitions of war from this country to China as evidence of a desire to take sides in Sino-Japanese differences by enabling alleged anti-Japanese organisations to obtain arms. It may also be pointed out that the United States Government have displayed considerable interest in this question and that relaxation of our own restrictions at a moment when, as will be observed from the State Department's note of the 29th June, they are suggesting a further approach to other Governments, might provoke an adverse reaction.\n\n4. In view of the considerations set forth above, Mr. Eden hopes that the Board will not press for any modification of the existing procedure. On the other hand, the Board may feel that in spite of the recent change in the internal situation in China, it remains desirable that the Chinese Government's regulations should be observed by exporters in all arms-manufacturing countries. As the Board will recall, the present position is that the Governments of France, Belgium, and Switzerland do not profess to secure this observance; that no approach has been made to the German Government; and that, although the Czechoslovak Government have stated that they require compliance with the Chinese regulations, exports of arms have in fact taken place from that country without the necessary Central Government authorisation. In Mr. Eden's view, the present time is propitious for a further attempt to secure the adoption of a uniform practice should the Board so desire. Recent events will have greatly reduced the market for",

In France a predominantly socialist government has recently come into office; the new Belgian Cabinet contains a large socialist element: these governments prima facie may be expected to favour increased control of the arms traffic and, indeed, in France some progress has already been made towards the nationalisation of arms manufacture.\n\nFurthermore, it is considered that the time has come when the theoretical position established by the Treaty of Versailles need no longer bar an approach to the German Government in the matter.\n\n5. As regards the manner of the fresh approaches which it is suggested should be made, Mr. Eden inclines to the view that it would be appropriate for these to be undertaken by the United States Government, if they agree. On previous occasions the initiative has been taken by His Majesty's Government, although the United States Government have an equal, if not greater, interest in the matter. The offer might, however, be made to support that Government in any representations which they might make.\n\n6.

REGY FOREIGN OFFICE. S.W.1. 16th July, 1936.\n\n23\n\nSir,\n\n244\n\nI am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to refer to your letter No.53548/36 of 2nd July, regarding the export of arms from Hong Kong to Macao, in which was transmitted for his concurrence a copy of a proposed draft despatch to the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\n2. With regard to the last sentence of paragraph 2 of the draft despatch Mr. Eden is of opinion that a simple notification to the Portuguese Government without prior consultation would be sufficient and unobjectionable. Since delay in effecting the change, if it is to be made, is undesirable he would suggest omitting that sentence from the despatch.\n\n3. It is regretted that the object of the suggestion contained in paragraph 3 of Foreign Office letter of 27th June was not made clear. It was designed to meet the contingency of cases on the border-line between war-material, if the export of such material was to be confined to the government of Macao, and other goods. If the export of war-material is to be confined to government authorities it appears to Mr. Eden to be very desirable to deal strictly with border-line cases, so that as small a loophole as possible may be left for the re-export from Macao of material which might be used for warlike purposes in China.\n\nI am, Sir, Your obedient Servant,\n\nC.W. Orde\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State, Colonial Office.\n\nPage 27\n\n77",

O. DEGY FOREIGN OFFICE S.W.1. 27th June, 1936.\n\nWith reference to Colonial Office letter No. 53548/36 of the 11th May, regarding the export of arms and ammunition from Hong Kong to Macao, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to state that he would be glad if the Governor of Hong Kong might be consulted as to the possibility of confining the export of war material to the Government of Macao or their accredited agents. Mr. Secretary Ormesby-Gore will be aware that in the case of this country licences are only granted for the export of war material to Governments or their accredited agents.\n\n2. It is stated in your letter under reference that war material may at present be exported from Hong Kong to any firm in Macao on production of a permit from the Government of Macao. Mr. Eden is unaware whether war material is in fact manufactured in Hong Kong but if this is not the case it is not clear to him how firms in the colony are able to obtain war material for re-export, since he presumes that war material is only allowed to be imported for the use of the Government. It is, however, noted from the summary enclosed in your letter that the only export of war material to Macao during the years 1934 and 1935, consisted of nine machine guns, and that the remainder of the arms and ammunition listed belongs to categories which, in the case of this country, are normally allowed to be exported to private firms of good standing.\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State, Colonial Office.\n\n13.",

It would thus appear that to confine the export of war material to the Government of Macao or their accredited agents would not constitute any appreciable check on the total of arms and ammunition exported to Macao.

He feels, however, that it would be advisable, in view of the reference to the action taken as a result of the Italo-Abyssinian dispute, to point out that, in the case of exports to Italy, all principal manufacturing countries are, in fact, taking similar action; and then to indicate that if the United States Government can persuade the other manufacturing States to take action in the sense which they desire, His Majesty's Government will be prepared to accede to their request. Mr. Eden further considers that it would be desirable to add that, if the United States Government should see fit to make an approach to the principal manufacturing countries with a view to inducing them to come into line, His Majesty's Government would be prepared to support any representations which the United States representatives in the countries concerned might be instructed to make. It will be remembered that the United States Government supported His Majesty's Government when urging the Belgian and Swiss Governments to conform to the Chinese Arms Import Regulations.\n\nMr. Eden would be glad to learn whether the Board agree that Sir Ronald Lindsay should be instructed to return a reply on the lines indicated in the preceding paragraph.\n\n4.\n\nMinistry.\n\nA similar letter is being addressed to the Air\n\nI am,\n\netc.\n\n(Signed) C.

It appears likely that the misdescription in this case was made deliberately in order either to circumvent the prohibition imposed on the export of arms from Austria by the terms of the Treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye or to enable the arms to be exported from Italy without a licence issued by the Italian Government. Mr. Eden is, however, of opinion that no useful purpose would be served by instructing His Majesty's Representatives at Rome and Vienna to bring the facts of this case to the notice of the governments to which they are accredited.\n\n2. It is observed that in paragraph 5 of his despatch the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong requests directions for dealing with similar cases which may arise in the future. Prima facie it seems undesirable that consignments of arms, even though demonstrably in transit, should be permitted to proceed to China from Hong Kong without question when they have entered the colony under a false description; for it would appear to open the way to the export\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office,",

        "content_text": "There are cases where exporters have failed to obtain a licence from their government for the export of arms.\n\nIt is not known to Mr. Eden whether the Governor of Hong Kong has powers to detain any or all goods in transit through the colony which have been misdescribed. On the other hand, it would appear that he has the power to control the movements of ammunition if not of arms under the Dangerous Goods Ordinance No.1 of 1875, to which reference was made in the enclosure to Colonial Office letter No.53548/35 of the 11th March, 1935.\n\nSubject to the views of the Board of Trade, Mr. Eden would suggest that the Governor be instructed that in so far as it is legally possible he should detain any consignments of arms in transit for China which have been shipped under a false description. In the case of arms consigned from a country which has adopted a licensing system, the Governor should only permit them to proceed when a copy of the export licence has been produced; in the case of arms consigned from other countries he should request instructions, when the case may be considered on its merits.\n\nMr. Eden is advised that action of this nature would not conflict with the obligations imposed by the Barcelona Convention and Statute on Freedom of Transit. China has not ratified the Convention, and Article 6 provides that the Statute does not \"impose on any of the Contracting States a fresh obligation to grant freedom of transit to goods destined for a non-Contracting State, except when a valid reason is shown for such transit by one of the other Contracting States concerned\".\n\nIn the event of a Contracting State objecting to the denial of transit facilities, it is considered that...",

Some very important and useful work was done before the Autumn Camps by Sergeant Debb, who made a malarial survey of the country for one mile round the Camp. Mosquito breeding grounds were abolished by drainage and paraffin, and as a result, the incidence of mosquitoes in the Camp was less than it has ever been before.\n\nMedical Officers attended all the battery shoots. The Section took part in operations during the last Camp at Fanling, formed a Regimental Aid Post, and obtained practice in the evacuation of the wounded.\n\n17.

I am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden to state that consideration has been given to the memorandum by the Secretary of State for the Colonies `P.E.J.(35)6` on the possible desirability of a Customs Union or other special arrangement on matters of trade between Hong Kong and China.\n\nWith regard to the disadvantages of a Customs Union, it seems that many of these would be avoided if a portion of Hong Kong were set aside as a free port area somewhat on the lines of the arrangement adopted at Tsingtao during the period that that port was leased to Germany. The reservation of such a free port area, the possibility of which is referred to in paragraph 6(e) of the Secretary of State's memorandum, would, it is assumed, be made a sine qua non in the event of negotiations being undertaken with a view to the inclusion of Hong Kong within China's tariff wall.\n\n3. The problem of the relations between Hong Kong and China would appear to have two aspects: (1) the immediate economic interests of Hong Kong and (2) the desirability of putting the relations between Hong Kong and China on a basis which would diminish as far as possible the dangers to be feared from Chinese irredentism. In any definite effort that may be made to attain these objects, it seems desirable that the approach should be both cautious and gradual.\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State  \nColonial Office.  \nMr. ...  \nPage 14  \nPage 112 DEC 1936  \n24  \n15  \nвору  \nDEC 1936  \nDaf.",

It seems desirable, however, not to lose any opportunity that may present itself of enlarging the scope of the negotiations to secure if possible some at any rate of the advantages of a Customs Union.\n\n4.\n\nIn this connexion attention may be drawn to the arrangements that were in force at the port of Tsingtao during the period that the Kiaochow territory was under lease to Germany. Under the Sino-German agreement of 1899-1906 Tsingtao enjoyed all the advantages of a Treaty port combined with free port status and the manufactures of the Leased Territory were to some extent brought within China's tariff wall.\n\nThere are of course great differences between the circumstances of Kiaochow at that time and the present circumstances of Hong Kong and Kowloon. Nevertheless the arrangements at Tsingtao under the agreements in question might with advantage be studied, in conjunction with the authorities at Hong Kong, with a view to ascertaining whether it would be practicable and useful to secure the adoption of some similar arrangement at Hong Kong.\n\nI am,\nSir,\nYour obedient Servant,\nAw.

Post representative yesterday, General Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, made the following statement regarding the visit to Hongkong: \n\n\"The relations between Great Britain and China have been traditionally friendly and those between Hongkong and Canton are particularly close and important. Two months ago, His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, the Governor, was kind enough to pay a visit to Generalissimo Chiang and ourselves in Canton, thereby further strengthening the bonds of our friendship. Acting on instructions from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and the wish of the people that we should return that visit, I, in company with Mayor Tseng Yang-fu, have come to Hongkong.\n\n\"I am most thankful for and deeply impressed by the most cordial and impressive welcome accorded to us by the authorities of Hongkong and by the enthusiasm shown by our nationals here. I am particularly delighted to have had the opportunity of making personal contacts with the high officials of the Hongkong Government as well as leaders of the local community and representatives of the various Chinese public organisations.\n\n\"We are working for the prosperity of both Hongkong and Canton, and we feel quite confident that, after this visit, our friendship and co-operation will be increased and lead to useful results. I earnestly hope that in future we shall meet each other more often and exchange views for achieving progress, and promoting the welfare, of our two cities, and strengthening the ties of friendship between Great Britain and China.”\n\n## CHINESE TIFFIN\n\n### Businessmen Entertain At Hongkong Hotel\n\n#### SPEECHES OF WELCOME\n\nGeneral Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, Mayor of Canton, were the guests of honour at a tiffin in the Hongkong Hotel Roof Garden yesterday, when they were entertained by a group of leading Chinese business men. Other guests included the trade delegation which arrived from Canton yesterday morning.\n\nIn proposing a toast to General Huang and Mr. Tseng, the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, who spoke in Chinese, said:\n\n\"The visit of His Excellency the Chairman of the Provincial Government of Kwangtung and His Honour the Mayor of Canton has given unbounded pleasure to the whole community of Hongkong. The warmth of their welcome has seldom been equalled. It was but in September last that Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott called on Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Canton, when he had the opportunity of meeting many high officials there, and of cementing the friendly relations between Kwangtung and Hongkong. To-day, so soon after that visit, His Excellency the Chairman, General Huang Mu-sung, and His Honour Mayor Tseng Yang-fu honour Hongkong with a visit. This is clear evidence of the harmonious friendship between the Authorities of the two places, and also of the increasingly cordial relations between China and Great Britain.\n\n\"Of the population of Hongkong about 97 per cent. are Chinese. Canton and Hongkong are closely related, geographically, commercially, and even from the point of view of peace and good order. Last night at the banquet at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman very aptly likened Canton and Hongkong to two sisters. I venture to make two other comparisons. Canton is as a mansion, and Hongkong its gateway; Canton is as the human trunk, and Hongkong its throat.\n\n\"Fortunes Linked. A few days ago His Honour the Mayor, speaking at a meeting of the Rotary Club in Canton, said somewhat to the effect that if Canton prospered, Hongkong would also prosper; if Canton suffered, Hongkong would also suffer; that, in short, the two places are interdependent. There can be no doubt that Canton and Hongkong share their prosperity and adversity, and are intimately responsive to each other in ebb and in flow.\n\n\"A few days ago, when I went up to Canton to attend the State funeral of the late Mr. Hu Han-min, I was overwhelmed by the unbounded hospitality of His Excellency the Chairman and of His Honour the Mayor. Though the conversations I had with them were short, they were not too short to enable me to realise that they had already gained thorough knowledge of local conditions. Now, they have come personally to Hongkong, and are seeing for themselves the conditions of the Chinese in particular, and of the Colony in general. Their knowledge will thus be enhanced, for 'to see with the eye is better than to hear with the ear,' just as one personal contact is better than a hundred letters.\n\n\"Both the Chairman and the Mayor love the people, and are assiduous in their efforts for their welfare. Since the assumption of their high offices, they have introduced what is modern, and abolished what is obsolete. They have upheld law and order, and they know the needs and heed the aspirations of the people.\n\n\"Hongkong happily also has as its Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott who has understanding and sympathy, vision and ability. Thus, like 'the echoing sound or the responding spirit', friendly co-operation will, of a certainty, be forthcoming, to the benefit of the two places.\n\n\"Able Assistants. Moreover, all those who have accompanied the Chairman and the Mayor on this visit are men of outstanding ability. Among the officials there are, for instance, Dr. Tyau, Colonel Li Fong, General Wong Keung, and Colonel Chang Yuan-man. Among the commercial party there are, among others too numerous to name, Mr. Ho Chap-ping and Mr. Chau Tin-pong who, with their colleagues, form a distinguished party. Our pleasure has been enhanced by the presence of His Majesty's Consul-General in Canton, Mr. Herbert Phillips, and of other prominent citizens of the Colony, official and unofficial, British and Chinese.\n\n\"Last night at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman quoted this happy saying: 'To befriend the one's good neighbour, and to co-operate with him, is a precious asset of a nation.' This precept is being carried into practice by Canton and Hongkong to-day.\n\n\"My fellow-hosts and I sincerely hope that our distinguished guests will not measure the extent of our respect and admiration for them by the inadequacy of the arrangements which we have made for their welcome and entertainment. We wish them every success in their high endeavours, and we wish Kwangtung peace and prosperity. Gentlemen, I now ask you to raise your glasses and drink with me to the health of His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu.\"\n\nThe toast was responded to by Gen. Huang and Mr. Tseng, who spoke in Cantonese.\n\n#### Gen. Huang's Response\n\nIn coming to Hongkong with the Mayor Mr. Tseng Yang-fu to return the visit of His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, I have been accorded the warmest welcome and I feel I have been greatly honoured. It is almost two years since I last visited Hongkong. On coming here again this time, I am glad to see with my own eyes the progress in trade and industry, the prosperity of the market, and the bright and harmonious views from every aspect. The economic depression has affected world trade generally, but Hongkong is able to stand out against all. You Gentlemen and the Government are to be congratulated for your efforts which have had such satisfactory results.\n\nChina's poverty has been due to two reasons—political instability and want of co-operation between Government and people. Fortunately, the country is now united, law and order are enforced, and...",

Secretary Eden to invite reference to your letter No. 53740/36 of the 20th March regarding the proposal of the Governor of Hong Kong to exercise his powers under the Hong Kong Extradition Ordinance of 1938 in order to ensure the return to Chinese territory of an alleged accomplice in the attempted assassination of the former Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Ching-wei, whom the Chinese Government are sending to the Colony under escort for the purpose of giving evidence in the extradition trial now proceeding of persons accused of complicity in the crime.\n\nMr. Eden assumes that in proposing to disallow the Governor's proposal Mr. Secretary Thomas has regard to the principle that deportation procedure should not be used as a substitute for extradition proceedings and to the fact that, since the accomplice whose evidence is required in Hong Kong is an accused person in China it would not be proper, once he has been introduced into the Colony, to seek to secure return to China by any procedure other than that of extradition.\n\nI am, however, to observe, for the consideration of Mr. Thomas, that Mr. Eden regards it as desirable from the political point of view that an attempt should if possible be made to comply with the request made by the Chinese Government on this occasion, since it would be a matter of no little difficulty.\n\nI am,\nThe Under Secretary of State,\nColonial Office.",

As soon as the Japanese realised that hostilities were likely to be prolonged, they began casting about for some means of cutting off China's supply of arms, for which she is almost entirely dependent on imports from abroad. The Chinese Government, who were only too well aware of their vulnerability in this respect, had, almost immediately after the trouble began, diverted all shipments to Hong Kong whence they could carry them by water, or, if the Japanese blockaded the river, by rail, to Canton and thence northward by the Canton-Hankow Railway. For this the co-operation of the Hong Kong authorities was vital; indeed, it may be said that it was for the Chinese a matter of life or death that this route should be kept open and that they should be able to continue to use Hong Kong as an entrepôt.\n\n28. The Japanese made their first move in the matter of cutting off China's supplies of war materials on the 25th August when the admiral commanding the Third Fleet announced that navigation on the lower Yangtse and along the Central China coast from (and including) Shanghai to a point south of Swatow was closed to Chinese shipping as from 6 P.M. on that date. In a statement to the press Dr. Jimpei Shinobu, a professor of international law acting as legal adviser to the Japanese Third Fleet, described this as a \"pacific\" or \"peace-time\" blockade for which he said there was precedent in the Greek war of 1827, a precedent which had been recognised by international jurists in 1887, and followed by the Allies when they had banned native shipping along the coast of Montenegro in 1917.

EDEN** raised the question of the supply of armaments to the belligerents in the Sino-Japanese Dispute. Certain dispatches regarding this question had been circulated whilst others had not. A report from Canton indicated that General Chang Kai Shek, whilst reluctant to accept supplies from Russia, might be forced to do so in the event of supplies from other countries not being forthcoming. The Soviet Government had already delivered 20 Bomber aircraft, much to the alarm of Germany. The Foreign Office desired to know whether the Sub-Committee approved, in principle, of the supply of armaments to the belligerents in the Sino-Japanese dispute, in so far as these orders did not conflict in any way with our own re-armament programme. \n\nIn reply to a question by the Chairman, he said that if the proposition was approved in principle, the necessary arrangements would be made through the Service Departments concerned. \n\nIn the ensuing discussion, **LORD SWINTON** pointed out that certain firms were accepting foreign orders for aircraft in addition to their ordinary Government work.

Such action appeared to be little different from authorising delivery from Government stocks, but on the advice of the Foreign Office, the Air Ministry had authorised the firm to carry out the foreign order. Another case was that of the Bristol Aircraft Company, who were under an obligation to supply aero engines to Japan and who, owing to their ample capacity, could meet these requirements without prejudice to our own needs. He presumed that such engines were exported under licence from the Board of Trade.\n\nMR. PALMER said he was unaware of licences being issued by the Board of Trade in this connection, but he doubted whether it was possible to classify aero engines as being necessarily military.\n\nDiscussion then ensued regarding the legal position in regard to the supply of armaments to China from Government stocks in the circumstances now obtaining when China and Japan were at war. There was some doubt as to the legal position in this connection and MR. EDEN undertook to have it examined in the Foreign Office. The general opinion\n\nPage 180\nPage 181",

HORE-BELISHA** pointed out that, whilst it might be considered a major British interest to assist China by the supply of armaments, there was a priority list in which China was placed eighteenth, whereas Egypt was placed first. If sufficient importance was attached to supplying armaments to China then her position on the priority list should presumably be advanced.\n\n**SIR MAURICE HANKEY** said he hoped that the Sub-Committee would not overlook the point that, if we refused to supply armaments to a country which was in difficulties, such action would preclude our chances of getting future orders from them. The time was approaching when, according to our own re-armaments programme, orders would lessen and foreign orders would be all the more required if we were to maintain our war potential. If we accepted orders from foreign countries in normal times, but, for potential reasons, refused supply in times of stress, we would find that orders would not be forthcoming in future.\n\n**MR.

Mr. Bernard called at this department and was informed generally as to the position in regard to the supply of arms to both China and Japan, namely, that at present the normal procedure with regard to the export of arms was being followed, and that no decisions had been taken to prohibit the export of arms either from this country or from Hong Kong. Mr. Bernard however was given clearly to understand that it was impossible to guarantee what the position in this respect would be when the actual time of shipment of any particular consignment of arms might arrive; nor was it possible to guarantee that the Japanese Government might not at any moment begin to exercise belligerent rights in which case the vessel carrying the arms would be exposed to the risk of contraband search or blockade.

I have ascertained that there have been no developments. The Kwangsi authorities seem to have not considered it worth while, under the circumstances, to initiate negotiations with any British firms.\n\n2.

I do not even know whether his offer and appeal were made with or without the knowledge of the Central Government. But, it will be remembered that on 31st March 1936, Marshal Li spoke in somewhat the same sense to Admiral Sir Charles Little and Mr. Consul-General Phillips (see Canton despatch Secret No.50 of 4th April 1936 to Peking, copied to Foreign Office No.12).

In company with Sir Andrew Caldecott I visited Kowloon City and inspected the three insanitary hovels which are all that remain of the slum which has for so long been a subject of controversy between the Chinese and ourselves. I also saw the new site and the new houses to which the remainder of the former Kowloon slum-dwellers have already moved and satisfied myself at first hand that the treatment they had received from the Hong Kong Government was of a most generous character. I agreed with Sir Andrew that the refusal of the three remaining occupants of the slum houses to move must be actuated by political motives supported by Canton, and that since the effect was to make the Hong Kong Government look ridiculous, the situation must be terminated without delay. I arranged that I should be supplied with photographs of the old and new premises in order to fortify the announcement which I undertook to make to the Waichiaopu as soon as I should learn that the Colonial Office had authorised the demolition of the remaining shacks on the old site.",

        "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nMay 18, 1937.\n\n## SECTION 2.\n\n[F 2822/354/10]\n\n(No. 22.) Sir,\n\n1/4/34.\n\nSir H. Knatchbull-Hugessen to Mr. Eden.—(Received May 18.)\n\nCopy No. 71\n\nNanking, April 9, 1937.\n\nIN my despatch No. 20 of the 9th April, reporting my visit to Hankow and South China, I mentioned that the Mayor of Canton had repeatedly raised the question of closer co-operation between Great Britain and China and particularly between Hong Kong and Kwangtung.\n\nCo-operation is of course the most obvious theme on these occasions, and almost every speech and exchange of courtesies during my tour was full of polite generalisations as to the advantages of closer co-operation between our two countries. At Canton, however, it soon became clear that the mayor, who is a man of considerable vigour and energy, wished to take advantage of my visit to the South to translate these generalisations into more closely defined terms.\n\n3. I have the honour to enclose herewith a cutting from the Canton press giving a verbatim report of Mr. Tseng's speech at the dinner given by him in my honour,(1) and also a brief summary of my reply.(1) It will be seen that Mr. Tseng's references to co-operation were almost embarrassingly direct and indeed exclusive. It was not the co-operation of \"friendly Powers\" or \"assistance from abroad\"—the conventional phrases—that was sought; it was the assistance of our country which was needed and our economic co-operation which was earnestly desired. The speech was delivered with a good deal of emphasis and was warmly applauded. I had not the least doubt that both the speaker and his audience had in the back of their minds, and wanted me to understand, that the co-operation must be exclusive as it was directed against a common adversary. In my reply I was accordingly careful to address myself particularly to this implication in the mayor's speech. While applauding and associating myself with his remarks on the subject of co-operation, I emphasised that such co-operation must be exclusively economic in character, and could not be such as would damage, or be to the disadvantage of any other country. As on many previous occasions, I pointed out that co-operation, as understood by me, would on the contrary be to the advantage of all countries, since all countries stood to benefit by each other's prosperity.\n\n4. In his speech the mayor referred specifically to the scheme for the development of Whampoa port. In previous conversations on this subject I had expressed the purely personal opinion that Hong Kong, Whampoa and Canton should be regarded as three complementary parts of one unit and that prior consultation between Hong Kong and Kwangtung might serve to decide the respective parts which each of the three might most usefully play in the interest of the whole. I had been, however, careful to qualify my remarks with a warning that my suggestion was purely personal and that I was still in ignorance of the views of Hong Kong on this matter. The next day the mayor called on me and said he was much struck by some of my observations. The Chinese Government was about to embark on gigantic schemes of industrial development which could most appropriately be executed by the co-operation of British capital and Chinese labour if only the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and British financial houses were not so conservative and unwilling to take the slight risk—which was really no risk at all in the changed conditions of modern China—of lending money on easier terms.\n\n5. This interview, which lasted nearly two hours, was brought to an end by my leaving for a luncheon engagement, and it later appeared as I had suspected that the mayor, carried along by his own loquacity, had never reached the main point of his visit. On the following day his secretary, Colonel Li Fong, (1) Not printed.\n\n[5 s-2]",

Cadogan to Mr. Atherton.\n\n**Foreign Office, May 14, 1937.**\n\nI MUST apologise for the delay in replying to the aide-mémoire of the 30th March which you left with the Foreign Office on the 1st April last. As I am not yet in a position to give you the considered views of His Majesty's Government on the subject of extra-territoriality in China, I thought it would be best to send you an interim reply on the point as regards a foreign Government or foreign Governments taking the initiative in approaching the Chinese Government.\n\nThe Chinese Government might, we think, be actually embarrassed by such an initiative; and if, as seems possible, it had the effect of encouraging an agitation among the more irresponsible elements in Chinese political circles, it might make it more difficult for them to pursue a reasonable course if negotiations on the subject are begun. We agree, therefore, with your Embassy in China in thinking that it would be a mistake for any foreign Government to take the initiative, and we should prefer to await proposals from the Chinese Government. In the meantime, the important questions of policy involved will receive our most careful consideration, and the conclusions we may reach will in due course be communicated to you. I need hardly say, of course, that we fully reciprocate the desire expressed in the aide-mémoire for close collaboration between our two Governments.\n\n**Yours sincerely,**\n**A. CADOGAN.**\n\n## ANNEX III \n\nSir H. Knatchbull-Hugessen to Mr. Eden.-(Received April 20.)\n\n**(No. 106.) (Telegraphic.)**\n**Nanking, April 20, 1937.**\n\nAFTER close of third plenary session it was disclosed that a resolution had been adopted that negotiations should be reopened with Powers with a view to abolition of consular jurisdiction, and National Government is now circulating instruction contained in the text of an order addressed by National Government to Judicial and Executive Yuans in pursuance of this. The Executive Yuan is directed to instruct Ministry for Foreign Affairs to open negotiations.\n\nAlthough no Chinese official has mentioned the matter to me or to my interested colleagues directly, it is being ventilated in the press and by public; negotiations are being followed with close interest. It is possible, therefore, that we may shortly receive a request from Waichiaopu for resumption of negotiations, and I think we should consider what attitude we should adopt towards such a request.\n\nI will submit observations in subsequent telegram.\n\n**(Repeated, Saving, to Peking, commercial counsellor and Tokyo.)**\n\n## ANNEX IV \n\nSir H. Knatchbull-Hugessen to Mr. Eden.-(Received April 23.)\n\n**(No. 114.) (Telegraphic.)**\n**Nanking, April 23, 1937.**\n**MY telegram No. 106.**\n\nIt would be hopeless to wait for the ideal moment for concluding a treaty of extra-territoriality, and my own feeling is that the present is probably as favourable a moment as we shall ever have since the Chinese are well disposed towards us, and we stand to get much more credit and possibly better terms by adopting a forward attitude in such circumstances than if we wait and have to yield to pressure later on. I am, however, strongly in favour of receiving sympathetically any approach from the Waichiaopu.\n\n2. It would, of course, be understood that we should do nothing unless the Chinese Government took the initiative in approaching us and our attitude would depend on the nature of their approach.\n\n3. We ought, I think, as a matter of tactics to take our first stand on `1931` draft. Much, however, has happened since then and the Chinese would not now be likely to accept all safeguards and restrictions included in that draft particularly article `14` (personal status) and reservation of Tientsin. I do not see that it is necessary now to reserve Tientsin, and we should be prepared to face forthwith rendition. There would be another wrangle over Shanghai, but I see no solution other than temporary reservation.\n\n4. Provided we keep in step with the Americans with whom we should maintain close touch as in `1931` I do not think we should allow our policy to be influenced by other Powers, though we should keep them informed. It seems reasonable to calculate that the French and Japanese (the only others who matter) should, after a short time, find themselves compelled in their own interests to come into line; otherwise Chinese could make things very difficult for them.\n\n5. In general, my view is that extra-territorial system is becoming so difficult to work in conditions of present-day China, and is such an obstacle to modern rôle of our traditional relations that sooner it is removed the better. Once the plunge has been taken I do not see we need seriously regret it.\n\n6. In my own view there would be much to be said for letting foreign settlements (Shanghai and Amoy) go too. The latter is not much real value, and foreign control over the former is growing continually more precarious, more difficult to maintain and a greater potential source of friction (especially with ... \n\nPage 20\nPage 21",

In the course of a private conversation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs at tea with me yesterday evening, I mentioned that I had been somewhat puzzled by suggestions in the press that the question of extra-territoriality might be raised at this juncture. Our attitude was already sufficiently clear. It was an intricate question with which I was not familiar, but I would, of course, study it. I had, however, not been disposed to place too much faith in these press reports as I should have thought the Chinese Government had enough on their hands at present without raising extra-territoriality, which must inevitably produce friction with some Powers.\n\n2. The Minister for Foreign Affairs said that the reports in question emanated from Tokyo, and he expressed the view that they were intended by Japan as a red herring. He entirely agreed with my views.

Confidential.)**\nSir, \n\nTokyo, February 17, 1936.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit herewith a note by the military attaché covering an interesting memorandum of a conversation which he had with the War Minister's secretary on the subject of Japanese military aims in North China.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nR. H. CLIVE.\n\n## Enclosure 1 in No. 58.\n\n**Colonel James to Sir R. Clive.**\n\nTokyo, February 6, 1936.\n\nI ATTACH a note of a conversation with the War Minister's private secretary on Japanese army views on North China questions.\n\nI think that Major Yamamoto's exposition was perfectly sincere, though he did not specifically mention the strategic advantages to Japan of her control of North China and Inner Mongolia. Perhaps this was rather too delicate a point to stress, and it might be inferred from his references to the necessity of Japan preventing the development of Soviet influence.\n\nMajor Yamamoto did recognise that it was perhaps not easy for China to see all at once that what Japan wanted was as much for the benefit of China as for Japan; but he believed that in time this would be recognised.\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 58.\n\n**Note of Conversation with Major Yamamoto, Private Secretary to the Japanese War Minister, February 6, 1936.**\n\nI MADE use of the opportunity of a visit to the Ministry of War this morning on other business to ask Major Yamamoto, the War Minister's private secretary, for information on Japanese army views on North China questions.\n\n2. I began the conversation by telling Major Yamamoto that we had heard from various sources that the Chinese authorities seemed to despair of ever being able to satisfy Japanese wishes in North China. No sooner did one problem appear to be solved than another made its appearance, until the Chinese were being driven to think that it would be better to yield nothing further, well knowing the risk of possible hostilities with Japan which such action might entail. If this really was the belief of responsible Chinese, it was obviously a very dangerous one, and I would be grateful if he could explain to me the attitude of the Japanese army to this North China problem. If he himself did not feel in a position to discuss the question fully with me, perhaps he could kindly arrange an interview for me with a senior officer who could give me some information on the subject.\n\n3. Major Yamamoto said that he thought that he could himself explain the army policy in China, and the following is a summary of our conversation.\n\n4. He began by saying that Japan considered it \"her mission to maintain peace and order in Eastern Asia.\" I here interrupted Major Yamamoto and said that I had frequently seen this phrase used, but that I had never exactly understood what was intended by the expression. Major Yamamoto replied that he hoped to make this point clear as he developed his exposition of army policy. He went on to say that for the last twenty-five years China had never had any form of stable government and that, if she were left to herself, there was little likelihood of improvement. Every man who had risen to power had invariably placed his personal and private interests and those of his family before every other consideration. There could be no progress towards stability till rulers governed for the benefit of the ruled and were supported by them. Now it was essential for Japan's future existence that peace and order should be restored in China. Her disintegration into complete chaos would not only be a lamentable thing in itself, but would be a disaster to Japan. This was the case because a chaotic China was bound to become a prey to Soviet influence, and a ...\n\nPage 43\n\n42 \n151 \n\nto me to be possibly somewhat optimistic, and I cannot help feeling that the Japanese army is inclined to act on the assumption that what it says three times, rather forcibly, must be recognised as true by everybody. There is a certain blindness to the fact that the part which the Japanese army proposes to play is that of a senior partner who is bent on getting all he wants without much consideration for the independence or feelings of the younger member of the partnership.\n\nMajor Yamamoto, although stressing the point that Japan wishes to retain the friendship of China, realises that there is a school of thought in the army which wants to press on at a speed which would be dangerous to the good relations with China, which they profess to wish to foster.\n\nMy own impression is that it would be difficult at the present time for anyone to moderate the ambitions of the army, and that there is some danger that the army will be inclined to get what it wants by constant threats of force, even if it does not use force itself. The army does, however, recognise that its plans would be more difficult of realisation if the Chinese people learned to hate, as well as distrust, the Japanese people. General Minami, the Commander of the Japanese army in Manchuria, referred to this point in a recent address to Japanese consular authorities in Manchuria; and Major-General Doihara has also referred to the unfortunate effect of the bad relations which exist between the Chinese and inferior Japanese officials in Manchuria.\n\n**E.

In these circumstances, Mr. Eden would prefer to await developments in Shanghai for the present, in the hope that an amelioration of the situation will permit of the return to Shanghai of a considerable number of refugees.\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State, Colonial Office.\n\nI am,\nSir,\nYour obedient Servant,\nCw.

Copies of a further telegram which has been received on this subject from His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokyo are enclosed.\n\n2. Mr. Eden is advised that this case raises a general issue applicable to several states of facts. There may be a road with cars moving along the road as in the case of the shooting of His Majesty's Ambassador in China, or there may be barges moving along a canal as in the present case, or there may be a railway line with trains moving along it as in the case of the Canton-Kowloon Railway. The difficulty in dealing with these cases arises from the fact that a line of communication, even if situated away from an area where actual military operations are taking place, is prima facie a legitimate target for bombing from the air. It does not matter whether the line of communication is a road, canal, river or railway. Lines of communication are stated in the Air Warfare Rules to be a military objective and a legitimate target of attack, unless in any given case an attack cannot be made without the indiscriminate bombardment of the civilian population.\n\nThe Secretary  \nof the Admiralty.",

Moreover, there is much doubt as to their exact meaning in this connexion.\n\n3.\n\nA further difficulty arises from the fact that a distinction can be drawn between the lines of communication themselves, i.e., the actual road, canal, or railway, and the vehicles moving along those lines of communication. Even if the lines themselves can legitimately be bombed, it may be argued that direct attacks on the vehicles moving along the line are not legitimate unless there is every ground for believing them to be of a military character or carrying military personnel or stores. Even in the latter case, it would seem that if the vehicle, though carrying stores capable of military use, is in charge of unarmed civilians, it should at least be called on to stop or turn back before being attacked.\n\n4. There is, unfortunately, complete uncertainty as to the whole position, and there are no sufficiently definite or recognised rules. In the circumstances, Mr. Eden considers it desirable to avoid any general statement of principle or the making of any representations on a basis of general principle other than the simple and fundamental rule universally admitted that direct attacks on non-combatants are in all circumstances illegal. This was the basis upon which representations were made in the case of Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen.\n\n5.\n\nThe position of His Majesty's Government in the Sino-Japanese case is strengthened by the fact that there is technically no war and that it can consequently be argued that if the Japanese are carrying out a mere \"police operation,\" they have, so to speak, an absolute duty to take care that no damage, strictly speaking, even of an incidental kind, is occasioned.",

The above considerations apply equally to the attacks which were recently made by Japanese aircraft on two trains proceeding from Canton to Kowloon.\n\nAs regards the question of prior notification, to which the Commander-in-Chief refers, Mr. Eden is of opinion that the giving of prior notice should be as limited as possible. Since the incident in which Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen was involved, the practice of giving unofficial notification in respect of cars travelling between Shanghai and Nanking has grown up, but Their Lordships will be aware that His Majesty's Government have refused requests from the Japanese Government for the marking of British merchant ships and also of British hospitals and other institutions in China and for notification as to their whereabouts. It is abundantly clear that the clearest identification of property and the giving of notice as regards movements by no means precludes attacks. In the circumstances, Mr. Eden, after learning that Their Lordships and the Board of Trade approve such a course, has instructed His Majesty's Ambassador in Tokyo to take up with the Japanese Government the case of the attack on the oil barge without raising the question of the legitimacy of military objectives; for it is clear in this case that the Vessel...",

The Board will also have observed from the telegram No. `246`, of the 22nd October addressed by His Majesty's Chargé d'affaires at Nanking to His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokyo, of which a copy was transmitted under cover of Foreign Office letter No. `8316/130/10` of the 26th October, that it is not normal practice for junks or lighters carrying cargo from ocean-going ships to discharge it in more than one port.\n\n3.

Craigie to Mr. Eden.--(Received October 9.)\n\nCopy No. 131\n\n**(No. 441.)**\n\nHIS Majesty's representative at Tokyo presents his compliments to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and, with reference to Tokyo telegram No. 333 of the 31st August, has the honour to transmit to him copy of an oral communication of the 30th August, 1937, made by the Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs to the French counsellor on the subject of the Japanese blockade of the China coast, communicated by the French Embassy.\n\nTokyo, September 7, 1937.\n\n### Enclosure\n\n#### Oral Communication of August 30, 1937, made by Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs to French Counsellor\n\nTHE closing of the traffic applies, as clearly stated in the declaration made on the 25th instant by Admiral Hasegawa, only to Chinese vessels, and does not apply to the vessels of third Powers. Consequently, arms and ammunition carried on board the latter ships do not come within the scope of the present measure. However, since the above-mentioned declaration was issued there have been Chinese ships flying foreign flags in order to evade the application of the declaration, and the Japanese Government are faced with the necessity of inspecting the suspected ships in order to identify their nationality. The Japanese Government, of course, do not want to create unnecessary misunderstanding with the ships of third Powers, and so they would find it convenient to have advance notice of the ships entering the prescribed area, as to their names, their captains and the matters concerning the capital invested in them.\n\n2. As you are aware, the Japanese Government have made it clear, in their statement of the 26th August, that in the face of the present situation they were forced to adopt this measure with a view to prompting China's reconsideration and bringing about a speedy settlement. Under the present circumstances, if large quantities of arms and ammunition were to be supplied to China from abroad, it would only strengthen, both morally and materially, her antagonism towards Japan, and thereby prolong and intensify the present conflict. The Japanese Government, therefore, hope that the Governments of the third Powers concerned will appreciate the delicate situation, and refrain, as much as possible, from doing anything which is likely to encourage China in this direction.\n\n3. The present declaration, as stated above, does not apply in the case of the ships of third Powers, and the Japanese Government do not, for the present, contemplate taking any action to prevent the importation of arms and ammunition into China by foreign vessels. But in view of the fact that such importation of war supplies is bound to increase Chinese opposition against Japan, future developments may compel the Japanese Government to devise more effective and suitable measures to stop all importation of arms and ammunition into China.\n\n`[133 i-1]`",

As soon as the Japanese realised that hostilities were likely to be prolonged, they began casting about for some means of cutting off China's supply of arms, for which she is almost entirely dependent on imports from abroad. The Chinese Government, who were only too well aware of their vulnerability in this respect, had, almost immediately after the trouble began, diverted all shipments to Hong Kong whence they could carry them by water, or, if the Japanese blockaded the river, by rail, to Canton and thence northward by the Canton-Hankow Railway. For this, the co-operation of the Hong Kong authorities was vital; indeed, it may be said that it was for the Chinese a matter of life or death that this route should be kept open and that they should be able to continue to use Hong Kong as an entrepôt.\n\n28. The Japanese made their first move in the matter of cutting off China's supplies of war materials on the 25th August when the admiral commanding the Third Fleet announced that navigation on the lower Yangtse and along the Central China coast from (and including) Shanghai to a point south of Swatow was closed to Chinese shipping as from 6 P.M. on that date. In a statement to the press, Dr. Jimpei Shinobu, a professor of international law acting as legal adviser to the Japanese Third Fleet, described this as a \"pacific\" or \"peace-time\" blockade for which he said there was precedent in the Greek war of 1827, a precedent which had been recognised by international jurists in 1887, and followed by the Allies when they had banned native shipping along the coast of Montenegro in 1917. Chinese vessels operating in the forbidden...",

A statement of the rules applicable \n\nin the event of a state of war coming into existence is, \n\nhowever, for the convenience of the Secretary of State for \n\nthe Colonies, given in paragraph 5 below. \n\n2. \n\nUnder the Air Navigation (Colonies, Protectorates \n\nand Mandated Territories) Order of 1927, the Hong Kong \n\nauthorities have power to compel aircraft making an \n\nunauthorised flight over the Colony to land: further, to \n\nsentence the pilot or other person responsible for the flight \n\n(but not, it would appear, the remainder of the personnel of \n\nthe aircraft) to a term of imprisonment. There does not, \n\nhowever, appear to be any power to intern the aircraft itself. \n\nMoreover, if the unauthorised flight is due to force majeure \n\nthere is no power even to proceed against the pilot. Though \n\nthere appears to be no power to intern the aircraft, there is \n\npresumably some limited right of temporary detention for the \n\nThe Under Secretary of State, \n\nColonial Office. \n\n3",

It is appreciated that these instructions will not cover the case of a landing due to force majeure; nor, subject to any temporary right of detention, will they enable the authorities to intern the aircraft or its personnel (as would be the case if a state of war existed) other than the pilot or other person responsible for the unauthorised flight, who may be sentenced to a term of imprisonment which would probably expire before the termination of the present Sino-Japanese dispute. It is not clear that the existing situation is such as to require the taking of any additional powers to cover the above-mentioned points; nor is Mr. Eden in a position to say whether any such additional powers could be taken by means of a regulation issued by the Government of Hong Kong or whether action by His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom would be necessary. He is however advised that it would not be incompatible with international law for such powers to be taken in case of need. International law gives countries an absolute right, even in time of peace, to prevent flights over their territory by foreign military aircraft and",

Mr. Eden would deprecate using the scheme as a means of pressure to secure freer passage for shipping to and from Canton.

The Chinese authorities are no doubt influenced purely by military considerations in the measures they have taken on the river and will not be averse to modifying them if convinced that they are not indispensable.

It is, in Mr. Eden's view, highly desirable that the \nauthorities in Hong Kong should guard at all times, but \nespecially during this period of crisis for China, against the danger of taking a narrow view of their interests and \nshould not lose sight of the unquestionable fact that its \nprosperity and its value as a British Colony ultimately depend \nentirely on securing the good-will of the Chinese: for, if \nthe Chinese Government were definitely antagonised or fell \nunder the influence or the control of a Power hostile to \nBritish interests, Hong Kong might be completely strangled and, \ntaking a wide view, therefore, the interests of Hong Kong are \nidentical with the wider general British interests in China.\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State, \nColonial Office.\n\n30/",

In this connexion, I am to draw attention to Nanking telegrams to the Foreign Office Nos. 417, 421, 539 and 557, copies of which are enclosed herein. From the two latter, and from other information which has reached Mr. Eden, it would appear that the Germans are taking advantage of the opportunity presented to them by China's present difficulties in order to pave the way for future trade advantages. Indifference on the part of British authorities in China's hour of need may have far-reaching results: and it may well be that after the hostilities are over, assuming China to have escaped entire defeat and disruption, the Germans may well be in a fair way to obtain many of those posts in China which are regarded as essential for the promotion and safeguarding of British interests unless efforts are made to retain Chinese good-will by every available legitimate means.\n\n4. Having regard to the foregoing considerations, as well as to the fact that from the wider political point of view, as Mr. Ormsby-Gore is aware, it is the desire of His Majesty's Government that every assistance should be given to China, within the bounds of propriety, to enable her to keep up her resistance to aggression, I am to express the hope that Mr. Ormsby-Gore may be moved to issue instructions to the authorities in Hong Kong to adopt in future as accommodating an attitude as is possible towards legitimate suggestions from Chinese authorities. He would deprecate the use of such language as that of \"firmly repudiating any idea of possible alliance against a common foe\", but would urge that whenever proposals have to be rejected this may be done in friendly and moderate terms.\n\n5.",

As explained in paragraph 4 of the Memorandum in question His Majesty's Government do not consider that any useful purpose would be served by presenting claims to the Japanese Government based on the contention that the Japanese military action as a whole in Shanghai was illegal as such. At the same time there can be no objection to British firms compiling and lodging with His Majesty's Consular officers in China, should they desire to do so, statements of claims in respect of damages arising outside Classes I and II. Instructions have already been sent to His Majesty's Ambassador in China that British subjects who desired to adopt this course should not be dissuaded from doing so but that they should be warned that the chances of recovery were highly problematical.\n\n3. Inquiries have been made as to the attitude of other governments principally concerned and the results so far reveal an attitude substantially in accord with that of His Majesty's Government.\n\nI am,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nBritish Association of Chambers of Commerce.\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nFederation of British Industries.\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nChina Association.\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nManchester Chamber of Commerce.\n\nThe Secretary,\n\nLondon Chamber of Commerce.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

The question of transfer to British registry is one for the Board of Trade, but since Mr. Eden is advised that, provided that the necessary conditions are fulfilled, there is no power to refuse British registry, he presumes that Messrs. Jardine Matheson and Company's enquiry implies that they would not complete the transaction if it were to be regarded unfavourably by His Majesty's Government. As to this, Mr. Eden considers that no political objections exist.\n\n2. As regards the question of an approach by His Majesty's Ambassador in Tokyo to the Japanese Government or by Messrs. Jardine Matheson and Company to the Japanese Consul-General in Hong Kong with a view to ascertaining whether the ships would be allowed the freedom of the seas, Mr. Eden shares the view of the Secretary of State for the Colonies that such action cannot in present circumstances be contemplated. He agrees, however, that if the transaction is carried out the attention of the Japanese Government might be drawn informally to it, for example, by the Naval Attaché at Tokyo in conversation with the Ministry of Marine. He could not countenance any formal approach by Messrs. Jardine Matheson and Company to the Japanese Consul-General at Hong Kong, as suggested in the telegram from Hong/\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office.",

In their letter to the Colonial Secretary of the 27th September last, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Company raise the question of the Declaration of London in relation to the proposed transfer. In the absence of a formal state of war this question does not arise. It nevertheless falls to be considered whether, if a state of war were to be recognised before (or even shortly after) the completion of the contemplated transfer, the Japanese Government would be bound to regard the transfer as operating to divest the vessels concerned of their previous enemy character. Mr. Eden is advised that the provisions of the Declaration of London, which was never ratified, have no real force except in so far as they are declaratory of pre-existing practice. In this case the relevant provisions in fact represent a certain departure from previous British and American practice, which was that a vessel was divested of enemy character provided that the transfer was bona fide, that the previous enemy owners retained no interest in the vessel and had not the right of eventual repurchase, and that the transfer was not made with the object of avoiding a capture. The British post-war Naval Prize Manual provides in paragraph 16 for a reversion to this practice.\n\nIt is not known what Japanese practice would be if a state of war were to come into existence; during the Russo-Japanese war, however, Japanese prize regulations followed the old English rule.

Sir,\n\nForeign Office, January 18, 1938.\n\nTHE Chinese Ambassador asked to see me to-day, when he said that he had come to report the outcome of the conversations which he had had during his recent meetings at Amsterdam with Sun Fo. Dr. Sun Fo had left Hankow only a day or two before Christmas, so that his information was recent. From this it appeared that Soviet Russia was now giving a very considerable measure of help to China in war material and in personnel. The Ambassador mentioned in this connexion the figure of 300 aeroplanes, which he said had recently been supplied. He also explained that certain new methods of communication had been opened up, which had proved successful. As one instance, he told me that the aerodrome at Lanchow, which was on the route by which aeroplanes had been travelling from Russia to China, had been reconstructed in order to allow the landing of heavy bombers. Previously, several of these had crashed in an attempt to land on an aerodrome which was unsuitable for them. Now this had been remedied with the result that heavy bombers were reaching the Chinese. The Ambassador also repeated that the help which China was receiving from Soviet Russia in personnel was now considerable. In strict confidence the Ambassador added that he could tell me that Dr. Sun Fo's real mission was to Moscow in connexion with Soviet help to China. In thanking his Excellency for his information, I remarked that we had previously heard reports of increased Russian assistance to China, though not from him, which had not been confirmed. The Ambassador emphasised, however, that on this occasion he was absolutely certain of his facts.\n\n2. Speaking of the progress of the war generally, the Ambassador said that the Chinese Government had made the mistake of throwing too many men into the fighting at Shanghai. The result was that their casualties there had been enormous. His Excellency quoted a figure of 300,000 killed and wounded. After this holocaust, the Chinese armies had been unable to hold their carefully prepared defensive position between Shanghai and Nanking. Now, however, that they had enjoyed a breathing space, the Chinese armies had largely recovered their strength and, indeed, the total number of effectives under arms was now about 70 per cent. of the maximum reached in the earlier stages of the war. The financial situation, however, gave cause for considerable anxiety. The receipts of the Chinese Government now amounted to no more than 20 million dollars per month, whereas their expenditure amounted to between 150 and 170 million dollars per month. As a result, more than a third of their reserve funds had been used up. Since the maintenance of the currency was a matter of vital importance to the Chinese Government, the financial position was a serious anxiety to them.\n\n3. Speaking of the international aspects of the Far Eastern situation, the Ambassador explained that he thought there had recently been a divergence of view between the navy and the army in Tokyo. The navy, who had had so far no glory as the outcome of the war, were anxious for a venture to the southward, which would involve an attack on Canton and a serious risk of complications with the British and perhaps even with the Americans. The army, on the other hand, were anxious to pursue military objectives on land, even though this might well involve them in hostilities with Soviet Russia. The army, his Excellency thought, had won, probably with the aid of the civil authorities. In consequence, there was an increased likelihood of Soviet Russia becoming involved in the hostilities.\n\n[208 s-1]",

The Ambassador replied that I would recollect that some time ago he had reported to me the four peace conditions put forward by the Japanese Government through the German Ambassador. These conditions had not at the time been rejected by the Chinese Government, who had, however, left the Japanese for a long period without any reply. The Japanese Government had then asked repeatedly through the German Ambassador that they should receive a reply, and on the 13th January last General Chiang Kai-shek had finally replied, explaining that elucidation was required on a number of points. Instead of such an elucidation having been provided by the Japanese Government, the latter had issued their statement of the 16th January, in which they had stated that the Japanese Government had ceased to deal with the National Government of China and would establish and promote the growth of a new régime in which they could have confidence. As a result of this statement, the Chinese Government now expected a further intensification of the hostilities. The Chinese Government were not, I gathered, surprised at this outcome; indeed, I understood that they had never expected more than the possibility of an armistice, during which they would have asked for the participation of His Majesty's Government and the United States Government in any peace negotiations which might take place.\n\n5. Speaking of the future prospects of the war, the Ambassador explained that, while the Chinese Government were prepared to continue the struggle, they knew quite well that they could not do this indefinitely unaided. It would be very difficult for them to do so for longer than a few more months. It was for this reason that material help from abroad was essential and that they had now secured more active Russian participation by the supply of arms and technical assistance. But more help was urgently required. He was convinced that the Soviet Government were anxious to receive some indication from ourselves and from the United States Government that we did not disapprove of the course which they were now taking of sending arms to help China. The Ambassador believed that the Soviet Government generally feared that they would be frowned upon by ourselves and the United States Government if they were playing too prominent a rôle in the Sino-Japanese conflict. I replied that I was not quite clear what it was that the Soviet Government wished for. If it was an expression of solidarity with them in the sense that we would share with them the consequences of any additional help that they might give to China, the Ambassador would know as well as I what were the prospects of the United States Government joining in giving such an undertaking. The Ambassador said that he knew that in the past the Soviet Government had hoped that some such arrangement as this might be made—that is, that we should share the risks of giving help to China, and Russia was willing to take her share. But the present position was not quite the same. Having failed to secure this assurance, the Soviet Government were fearful lest there should be an unfavourable reaction here and in the United States if they sent more arms to China.\n\n6. The Ambassador went on to speak of the German attitude. He said that from information obtained from the Chinese Ambassador in Berlin, he had no doubt that the German Government were extremely anxious at the development of events in the Far East. They saw their Chinese market, which was of great importance to them, being steadily destroyed, and they saw their ally in the Anti-Comintern Pact being weakened in a military sense. The Ambassador thought that, as the war progressed, the German attitude would become less and less favourable to Japan. Indeed, it had been remarked that at the recent reception of the Japanese Ambassador in Berlin, when the latter had spoken with great enthusiasm of the relations of the two countries, the German Chancellor had been almost casual in his reply, and the German press had not given prominence to the reception. (I am not clear whether this conversation took place when a new Japanese Ambassador presented his credentials or whether in the course of the New Year reception; I think the former.)\n\n7. The Ambassador went on to say that if we and the United States Government could not give more help in arms, then he hoped we should be able to give some assistance to enable China to maintain her currency. He repeated that if her currency were to collapse the consequences might be disastrous. The Ambassador himself was no expert in these matters, but he hoped that Mr. T. L. Sung might shortly be visiting Washington and London to put the Chinese point of view.\n\n3\n\n8. Finally, the Ambassador mentioned the new road which the Chinese were building to the Burmese frontier. They hoped that that road would be finished in March, and the place on the Burmese frontier towards which they were working was Jui-li (? Muse).(*) The Ambassador had been asked to say that his Government were a little apprehensive that the road in Burma which would join this—a road which I understood passed through Bhamo and Lashio—might not be strong enough to stand heavy traffic in wet weather. The Chinese Government would therefore be very grateful if the road could be strengthened against its completion from the Chinese side.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nANTHONY EDEN.\n\n(*) Ju-li is the name of a district in Yunnan comprising the Mengmas and Lasa States.\n\n178",

Sir,\n\nForeign Office, December 31, 1937.\n\nTHE Chinese Ambassador asked to come and see me this afternoon, when he said that I would no doubt have heard from Sir Alexander Cadogan of the 66 peace terms which the German Ambassador had transmitted to General Chiang Kai-shek as a result of Japanese initiative. These terms had been considered quite unacceptable by the Chinese Government and had been rejected. His Excellency added that he had been instructed to tell me of this and to ask for my view of the Chinese Government's action.\n\n2. I replied that I had received some account of the terms from Sir Alexander Cadogan and from Hankow. They appeared to be more rigorous than those previously offered before the fall of Nanking. The Ambassador replied that this was definitely so; all the previous Japanese demands were included and some others added. The terms included provisions for special regions and special tariffs which meant virtually Japanese control of Chinese trade and of large areas of China not only in the north and at Shanghai, but possibly at Nanking also. On his Excellency repeating his request for my view of the Chinese action I replied that this was a matter on which I felt it improper for me to express an opinion. Such a decision could, of course, only be taken by the Chinese Government on its own responsibility. The Ambassador at once rejoined that the Chinese Government had already taken a decision, they only wished now for the view of a friend. I rejoined that I fully appreciated Chinese sentiments in the matter and readily understood that, having refused less onerous terms a short while ago, the Chinese Government were not now disposed to accept those more recently offered. They no doubt took the view that there had been no deterioration in the military situation such as to justify so decisive a change of front by the Chinese Government.\n\n3. The Ambassador agreed with this, and added that recently there had been some improvement in the situation from the Chinese point of view. They had even recovered some eighteen districts in Shansi. Their army was being organised and they were receiving a certain amount of help in the supply of munitions and in the matter of credits from abroad. In reply to a question, the Ambassador said that Soviet Russia was now giving more help than she had done previously, especially in the matter of aeroplanes. The United States were also helping both in the supply of munitions and financially. His Excellency continued, however, that it was very urgent for the Chinese Government to receive still more help in the way of munitions. His Excellency knew our difficulties, but he begged that we would strain every nerve to try and supply his Government with some quantities of munitions. Aeroplanes would be especially useful, even though the quantity was not large.\n\n4. I replied that General Pai Chung-hsi had spoken to Mr. Gage at Hankow on this matter and had also asked that we should arrange for the training of some Chinese pilots, either at Singapore or in this country. So far as the training of pilots was concerned, we had no facilities for training at Singapore, but we should be glad to try to provide facilities in England if his Excellency did not consider that considerations of time and distance made this impossible. The Ambassador said that he was sure his Government would be grateful for the offer, though he appeared to consider that financial considerations, as well as those of time, might make it difficult for his Government to accept. As a result of the interview between General Pai and Mr. Gage, I continued, we had been in communication with the Air Ministry, who had made the most exhaustive examination to see whether any aeroplanes were available. Unhappily, the Chinese Government had already received all that were available. His Excellency would understand that it was not because we did not want to sell, but literally because we had nothing\n\n[183 hh-1]",

Perhaps, however, we might have some older aeroplanes surplus to our requirements which we could sell, or perhaps, again, the Admiralty could help by selling one or two submarines. On my explaining that these latter took a year or more to build, his Excellency replied that perhaps we had some which we should be getting rid of normally and which could be sold to China. Dr. Quo went on to argue that the Chinese Government and people were putting up a vigorous resistance which they intended to continue, and it was to the interest of His Majesty's Government to do all they could to help them. He fully realised how much had been done already, and he was sure that I would understand the spirit in which he made his request.\n\n5. His Excellency added that he was in communication with Captain Ball and was hoping to obtain some armaments through his good offices. If we were able to arrange this, the Ambassador hoped very much that the War Office would give what assistance they could to Captain Ball, who, I understood, was connected with the Soley Arms Company.\n\n6. I then reminded the Ambassador that some time ago he had asked us about the possibility of completing the road to the Chinese frontier in Burma. I had explained that we were ready to do this, but so far his Excellency had not told me to what point on the frontier the Chinese Government were constructing the road on their side. I understood that only a mile of our road remained to be constructed, but that a far longer stretch was still required on the Chinese side. His Excellency replied that he thought my information was correct and he would communicate with his Government and let me know the result.\n\n7. The Ambassador then asked me what were my views as to a meeting of the Committee of Twenty-Three while the Council was sitting at Geneva in January. He had been asked by his Government to obtain my views on this matter. I asked his Excellency what it was contemplated that the Committee of Twenty-Three should do. Dr. Quo replied that he thought much depended on the progress in Anglo-American relations. He quite realised this was a vital element in the Far Eastern situation. If we considered that these relations were developing satisfactorily and that a meeting at Geneva would do more harm than good, his Government would readily understand. At the same time, I would appreciate that public opinion in China might expect him and his colleague in Paris to be active in Geneva, and might not understand if no further meeting of the Committee of Twenty-Three took place. His Excellency continued that there were many who held the view that, if the League would give a lead in the imposition of some sanctions, then the United States would follow and join in. I asked the Ambassador whether that was his own appreciation of the situation. I myself was very doubtful whether it was accurate. I agreed with him that the really important matter was Anglo-American co-operation. This had developed in a very satisfactory manner in recent weeks, but I was doubtful whether, if the League were to impose a sanction, the effect in this respect would be good. Moreover, was there in truth any sanction which the League could make effective? The Ambassador mentioned oil, and said that an economist such as Dr. Salter had told him that, in his view, in six months an oil sanction could be made effective. I replied that our information made it clear that this was not so and that Dr. Salter had greatly under-estimated the time necessary.\n\n8. I understood the Dutch representative had made it known at Geneva that his Government were not prepared to put on an oil sanction. However that might be, I felt sure it would not be fair to ask the Dutch Government to impose such a sanction unless the Governments in a position to do so—the United States Government and ourselves—were willing to defend the Dutch possessions in case of need.\n\n9. The Ambassador admitted the force of what I had said, and repeated that the last thing that he wished to do was to impede the development of Anglo-American co-operation.\n\n10. His Excellency said that the Japanese advance had had, as one result, that literally millions of Chinese had left their land and had moved further into the interior in order to avoid the horrors of the Japanese invasion. This had resulted in a large part of the country not being cultivated, and there would in consequence be much impoverishment and perhaps a shortage of food.\n\n11. After some further conversation about the meeting of the Council at Geneva, I told his Excellency that I was not prepared to dissuade his Government from calling a meeting of the Committee of Twenty-Three if they so wished, but only thought it necessary to point out the difficulty which I saw in a meeting taking place with nothing resulting from it. It was agreed that I should consult Sir R. Lindsay in Washington and his Excellency should consult his Chinese colleague in the same capital and ascertain what likely reactions were to be expected there. I also suggested that it might be well if the Ambassador and his colleague in Paris were to content themselves for the moment with a decision to go to Geneva for the meeting of the Council, when they could have conversations with M. Delbos, M. Litvinov and myself, and then decide upon the desirability or otherwise of calling together the Committee of Twenty-Three.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nANTHONY EDEN.\n\n249",

Moreover, as the position where the \"Chahsing\" was beached is well sheltered from the prevailing wind, it is unlikely that she was blown off shore.\n\n3.

In the course of the discussion on this question the Netherlands Delegation declared on behalf of the Netherlands Government that, in view of the Netherlands territories in Asia, the Netherlands were particularly exposed to the danger of contagion from such epidemics. They were therefore prepared to consider a direct contribution for the purpose in question, provided that the States General approved.\n\n2. I have the honour to inform you that on the 2nd February a supplementary estimate of expenditure by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs for 1938 amounting to 25,000 florins was introduced. In an accompanying explanatory memorandum Mr. Patijn, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, stated that, since the sum voted by the League of Nations would not be adequate for the grant of decisive aid to China, the Netherlands Government were of the opinion that they should help to increase it. For this purpose the States General were being asked to vote 25,000 florins on account of the budget of the mother country, while it was proposed to ask for a similar sum on account of the budget of the Netherlands East Indies.\n\n3.

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Sir A. Sinclair.]\n\ndanger if ever they return to Germany, but of these about 5,000 are in direct danger of their lives. They are prominent trade union leaders, people who have made themselves prominent in the defence of the Czecho-Slovak State, and leading representatives of the democratic parties, and I urge the Government that they should consider making a more generous contribution than offering asylum to 350 of these people. I have seen it stated that we have done as much as or more than France, but let it be remembered that France has done an immense amount for other people. France has had the Saar refugees thrown upon her in great numbers, and she has had an enormous number of refugees, far more than we have had, from Spain, and I do not think that it is a fair standard of comparison for this country to take what the French have done, and I urge the Government to be more generous in their estimate of our responsibilities towards these unhappy refugees.\n\nThere is only one other thing more I want to say about the past, and I must say this because it seems to me to go to the roots of the perplexities and dangers in which we now find ourselves. The Prime Minister, since he took over the responsibility for foreign affairs from the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Eden), seems to me at every stage to have mistaken the real issues and to have misunderstood the real intentions of Signor Mussolini and Herr Hitler. During the last General Election and, after all, that is only three years ago—the Prime Minister said:\n\n\"There is not one of the small countries of Europe which has not breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that at last we were going to put ourselves in a position to defend ourselves if necessary and to fulfil our obligations under the Covenant.\"\n\nI did not hear in the Prime Minister's speech this afternoon any reference whatsoever to our obligations under the Covenant. The sighs to-day from the small nations of Europe are more audible than they were when the Prime Minister spoke only three years ago, but they are not sighs of relief. They are sighs of anxiety and suffering. Again, the Prime Minister, speaking at that time deprecating a change of Government as a possible result of the General Election, said:\n\n\"Foreign countries would not know if in future they could rely on the British Empire or not.\"\n\nThe Government were returned to power and now they do know. At least Abyssinia knows, and it was round Italian aggression in Abyssinia that the Election was fought. Austria, whose independence was declared to be an object of British policy, also knows. Czechoslovakia knows, and is now entrusting her destinies to Germany. Spain has few illusions left. The Prime Minister rebuked the Leader of the Opposition for describing the Munich Agreement as a defeat for the democracies and for law and order. He contrasted the speech of the Leader of the Opposition with the speeches that are made in totalitarian countries. He said they do not attack their own Governments. For my part, I have not this respect for such totalitarian tradition. I prefer the British tradition of free speech, and I tell the Prime Minister that the people of this country mean to keep it and not to accept his totalitarian standards. When he contrasts the speech of the Leader of the Opposition with the speeches in totalitarian countries, it seems to me that, if you look at the merits of the matter, the speeches of the leaders in the totalitarian countries are exactly on the same lines as the speech of the Leader of the Opposition, for all assert loudly and with confidence that undoubtedly Munich was a defeat for Britain and France and a great victory for Hitler. Herr Goebbels, a member of the Reich Chancellor's Cabinet, one of the closest to him of all the members of the Cabinet, says that Herr Hitler went to Munich with \"Mein Kampf\" in one hand and the sword in the other, and we know that, as a matter of fact, that is true. In the name of justice and self-determination, we have added scores of thousands of Czechs, Germans, and Jews to the flood of refugees and world refugees condemned thousands of others to Nazi concentration camps and to lesser forms of tyranny and brutality.\n\nMr. Donner: Does the right hon. Gentleman really think that there would be fewer refugees if there had been no Munich Agreement and a war?\n\nSir A. Sinclair: I certainly think that they would not have been refugees from Nazi tyranny, nor do I admit for one moment that war would necessarily have taken place if the policy of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Warwick and Leamington had been maintained—the League of Nations policy. I believe that that was the only way to preserve both peace and justice and that, since that policy was abandoned at every stage, we have drifted nearer and nearer to war, until a few days ago we found ourselves, under the policy which the hon. Member supports, on the brink of it. It was the result which I have prophesied, of that policy which my hon. Friends have prophesied, which hon. Members on this side of the House have prophesied, the inevitable result of the policy which the hon. Member himself supports.\n\nNow perhaps I shall be allowed to continue my speech, because I do not think that the interruption was very relevant. I was saying that thousands of refugees have been condemned to the concentration camps and added to the flood of refugees which is pouring over the world. One by one, in the name of appeasement, in Austria, in Czechoslovakia, and in Spain, we are handing over the keys of world power into the keeping of the most aggressive tyrannies since Napoleon's. In Austria, in Czechoslovakia, and now perhaps in Spain, the armies, air forces, great munitions industries, rich economic resources, and connections of whole countries are being turned over in the balance sheet of power from the side of law and order to the side of aggression and destruction. To the 35 German divisions released from the Czech frontiers, add 12 Austrian divisions and the fresh divisions which will be raised in Austria and in the Sudetenland territories. Lord Baldwin declared that our frontier now is on the Rhine; and now there are 50 more divisions to attack it. The edge of our naval weapon is blunted, for the blockade is losing its power.\n\nThese are the circumstances in which, for the first time, we are being asked to undertake an onerous and dangerous commitment, a specific guarantee against unprovoked aggression of a frontier in Central Europe. To have given it before the crisis was one thing when the frontiers of Czechoslovakia were in the mountains, when she had a fine army with high morale, splendidly equipped, and also with a great munitions industry behind it, and when we might have had the full support of Russia and France, and perhaps of other nations—that was one thing. What does it mean to give it now? This is the question which I am putting to the Government, so I would ask the President of the Board of Trade if he would kindly answer that when he comes to reply. The Prime Minister said that it was a guarantee not of a specific frontier, but against unprovoked aggression. Was not the Polish irruption into Teschen an act of unprovoked aggression, and had not the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence said that the guarantee was already morally in operation? What happened? How did we fulfil it? You say we shall fulfil it if similar circumstances arise in the future, or if there is an act of even more flagrant aggression. Even if you can excuse the Polish aggression—I do not know if you can or not; I can think of no excuse for it—but if there was an act of even more flagrant aggression, how are we to fulfil this guarantee? We ought to know now and not wait until an act of flagrant aggression happens and then be told, \"You must realise that it is very difficult for us to do anything.\" The totalitarian Powers stretch between us and Czechoslovakia. What is it in our power to do? Do not let us wait for that situation to arise. Let us know now. Let us be told now. How is it expected that we are to fulfil this guarantee? Is it to be a joint or a several guarantee? Is an effort to be made to get Russia in? The Prime Minister said that it was too early to ask for details as to who were to be the guarantors. Are we going to try and get Russia in? Are we going to exert our influence with Russia and ask her to come in? Let the Government tell us that.\n\nThe Prime Minister said, towards the end of his speech, that we were not contemplating the equipment of an Army on a Continental scale. That has always been my view, but the situation has greatly changed in recent weeks, and I would ask the President of the Board of Trade whether His Majesty's Government can assure us that, in the opinion of their military advisers, we should be able to fulfil our commitments under this specific guarantee without an army on a Continental scale. On the day that the Prime Minister went to the Munich Conference, I pleaded with him to go there to ensure the economic survival and the complete freedom and independence of Czechoslovakia. Rightly or wrongly, he did not.\n\n## Page 91\n## Page 92\n## Page 93\n## Page 94",

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Mr. Adams.]\n\nentreat all parties not to allow the Government to begin, as it were, the strangulation of the British Empire by colonial concessions to Germany.\n\nBecause I feel that this country and our Empire are in the very direst danger, I am going to take leave now to say something which hon. Members may regard as highly indelicate. I have heard it said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer may succeed to the Premiership. In 1932 the same right hon. Gentleman was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, when Germany was still reasonable and civilised, and yet during those early and promising days of the Disarmament Conference the right hon. Gentleman found ample reasons for having no policy at all. He must be regarded to-day as the main architect of our present ruin. I do not expect my hon. Friends in the Conservative party to dispute that proposition, because in 1935 they will remember we compelled his promotion to the Home Office.\n\nLike my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Abbey Division (Sir S. Herbert), I would like to see a Government of National Union, including the Leaders of the Opposition. It does seem to me a most absurd thing, in this hour of our national danger—for it is nothing less, even though the crisis to-day may have been understated in this Debate—that the right hon. Members for Sparkbrook (Mr. Amery), Leamington (Mr. Eden), St. George's, and Epping are outside the Administration.\n\nSo far from causing Herr Hitler to go to war, I believe that the inclusion of those right hon. Gentlemen in the Government would cause him to think twice—a man who understands the use of force and respects those who would be able, if necessary, to use it. In what vital particular over the last five or six years has the reading of German motives by the right hon. Member for Epping been proved wrong?\n\nI would suggest that we need to-day men in all parties, men with the wit, the wish, and the will to stand up for a stronger Britain. If this nation is to survive as a great nation, as a leader of freedom, flying the banner of liberty from this island, visible to all the world, the days of surrender by this country must be ended. If we want peace, peace with honour, peace for the time not only of those who are perhaps reaching the end of their lives, but also peace for the time of those of us who are under 40 and for the time of our children, we must take the last resort, which is this—rearmament on a scale hitherto undreamt of, excluding no possibility of general national service, to meet and, if necessary, to defeat Germany. In this crisis there is nothing else and nothing less for us to do. We are indeed forced back in this emergency on to the Tacitean paradox which in happier days we could afford to ridicule: **Si vis pacem para bellum**. So long as the Nazi régime persists in Germany there is no hope of preventing war except through vast rearmament by Britain.\n\n7.19 p.m.\n\nMr. Boothby: We have had from the hon. Member for West Leeds (Mr. V. Adams) a characteristically vigorous speech, with the last part of which I, personally, found myself in a good deal of agreement, but I must point out to him that he has slightly exceeded the right angle to which he referred. I do not propose to say anything about the Munich Agreement, or indeed about what has happened in the past. I am one of those who think that, in the circumstances of the time, and under the conditions which then prevailed, the Prime Minister had no alternative at Munich but to make the best terms he could. I think that those conditions ought not to have arisen, and need not have arisen; but there they were, and it was not entirely the fault of the Prime Minister that they existed; and I am one of those who feel very strongly that he had no option but to take the action he took, that that action was courageous, and that he deserves the profound gratitude of the people of this country for what he did. There is one other thing I would like to say, which I do not think has been said enough in this House to-day, and that is how much we all welcome the appointment of my right hon. Friend the Member for the Scottish Universities (Sir J. Anderson) to the Cabinet and to be in effect Minister of Civilian Defence.\n\nApart from that, I think the Government must have been aware of the very considerable uneasiness which has pervaded this House throughout the Debate, not greatly diminished since the four days' Debate a few weeks ago; and I think there is real cause for that uneasiness still. It is not confined to any one party. The House as a whole is uneasy, because this House has a collective responsibility, and a very direct responsibility, for the safety of this country. We have failed adequately to discharge that responsibility. Why? Because we have been continuously and grossly misled by Ministers, over a period of several years, as to the true state of our defences. You cannot get away from that. To listen to the speeches of some Ministers, at different periods, you might have thought that guns and aeroplanes were flowing in on them in such an avalanche, like rain, that it was almost a source of embarrassment. Indeed, there were moments when one felt quite sorry for the Germans. But when the much heralded crisis, of which we all had ample notice, arrived, we discovered that the condition of our defences was in fact absolutely deplorable—and that has since been admitted by Ministers themselves and by the Civil Service although nothing that the Government have ever asked for our defences has been refused by this House at any time during the last four years. I think that, if the full list of the gaps and deficiencies were disclosed—which I hope it will not be—it would be a very astonishing document. But attention must be drawn in this House—and I am rather surprised it has not been drawn so far—to the observations of Mr. Eady:\n\n\"We are not prepared; we have hardly begun to prepare; we do not know how all the failures that occurred during the crisis can be avoided next time.\"\n\nMr. Eady went on to say that the regulations issued to the local authorities were the sloppiest ever produced by a Government Department. This was a high civil servant. We all have our own experiences of what happened during the period of the crisis, with regard to shelters, sandbags, hospitals, arrangements for the evacuation of children, fire brigades, police, production generally in the country, voluntary service of all kinds, the shoals of offers that came from different people all over the country, the total inadequacy with which they were dealt with, no use being found for them at the last moment, and the confusion which arose. The hon. Member who has just sat down said that the confusion in Germany was greater than in this country. All I can say to that is that Germany must have been in a very confused state indeed at the time of the crisis.\n\nSimilarly, we have heard—and there is no good in concealing these facts—about the gun deficiencies. I took the trouble to look it up, and I found that the War Office alone has spent £43,000,000 on artillery. I do not know the exact number of anti-aircraft guns of modern type that were available for the defence of this country at the time of the crisis, but if it was 20 per cent. of the establishment I should be very surprised. In many cases it was far below that. Similarly, we spent with regard to aeroplanes, £110,000,000 on aeroplanes, and that, at £15,000 apiece, ought to work out at 7,000 aeroplanes. Who in this House supposes we had 7,000 efficient fighting aeroplanes three weeks ago? Did we have 1,000, did we have 500, did we have even 100? I do not know what the precise figure was; but all this goes to show that after four years of alleged rearmament, and an expenditure totalling £1,000,000,000, the results were very unsatisfactory indeed. I would like to ask what has happened in this respect during the last four or five weeks. One would have expected—I think all of us hoped—after the last Debate that a terrific effort would be made; but I have not seen any sign of it. There appears to have been a certain amount of examination, and we have had one or two interesting speeches from Members of the Government, but that is all. There was one speech particularly, by the Home Secretary, at Clacton-on-Sea, which was of considerable significance and importance. He said:\n\n\"If this country could be so organised as to make it impossible for a knock-out blow to succeed, we could face the future with the certainty that we could never be defeated.\"\n\nAnd there was another extremely interesting speech, by the Secretary of State for War, at Cardiff, from which I will give this quotation:\n\n\"To obtain appreciable acceleration, or an appreciable enlargement within the given time of our rearmament programme, it would be necessary to revive our war-time method under which every other consideration is subordinated to this. A Ministry of Munitions to be effective must have full powers to allot orders, to assign priorities, to control the supply of materials, and to make arrangements for diversions of skilled labour.\"\n\nIf this speech means anything at all, it means that if we are to have effective rearmament \"within the given time,\" we must have a Ministry of Supply. The speech has otherwise no meaning at all; and it has been strongly reinforced in that very orthodox financial newspaper,",

Sinclair) earlier this afternoon. Not only were those speeches eloquent and sincere, but the manner in which they were received in all quarters of the House will, perhaps more even than the speeches, bring consolation to those who are left. It is always a satisfaction to realise that one whom one has known intimately has, in a wider circle, made exactly the same impression as he made on those who were nearest and dearest to him, and it will be a great consolation to us to know that his simplicity of character and his kindliness of nature were as much valued in the wide circles of this House and in public life generally as they were in the circle of the family.\n\nWe have, during the course of today's Debate, covered a very wide field. We have gone from Spain to China, from China to Italy, and from Italy to Czechoslovakia. We have discussed not only foreign policy but rearmament and air-raid precautions. We have had the Prime Minister's smile criticised by an hon. Member for one of the divisions of Leeds, and we have had references to speeches made by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour a year or two ago. It would need a Foreign Secretary, a Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence, and a hypothetical Minister for Supply all rolled into one to reply adequately to all the questions raised in the course of the Debate. I want to confine myself to one of the points dealt with by the last speaker and to a point which is more appropriate to my Department, and that is the economic consequence of the political and social consequences which have been discussed at great length.\n\nBefore I come to that matter, it is only courteous that I should reply to one or two points which have been raised in the Debate. First, may I reply to the right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the Opposition, who put a question as to the position of the Anglo-American Treaty? There was a Question on the Order Paper today to which I should have given an oral answer, but it was not asked. I will read the answer, which will appear in the OFFICIAL REPORT tomorrow:\n\n\"Since the summer, when agreement was reached over a large part of the field, the negotiations have been concentrated on a limited list of items, some of which have proved intractable. Our delegation recently defined the United Kingdom position on these outstanding matters, and we expect a reply from the United States very shortly.\" There is only one thing I can say in implementation. Ever since I went to my present office, I have had constantly in my mind, as one of the most important of my tasks, a new Anglo-American Treaty, and I should welcome it very heartily. On the other hand, I realise, as I think hon. Members in all parts of the House will realise, that if a treaty of this kind is to have anything but fleeting benefits, it must be a treaty which is fair to both sides. We know the position of our trade balance with America today. I am not sure that the existence of such a large discrepancy is not even now a threat not only to the trading stability of this country but, through that, to the trading stability of the world as a whole, and hon. Members will, I am sure, realise that, however desirable a treaty is, a treaty which would increase that disparity could not lead to any genuine appeasement or economic advantage to either side, but in the long run only lead to a loss. While I am as anxious as ever to obtain an Anglo-American Treaty, it must be a treaty fair to both sides, giving advantages to both and being biased towards neither.\n\nI must warn the right hon. Gentleman opposite that if he shares my anxiety to see a new Anglo-American trade treaty brought about, he will have to speak to his hon. Friends because, when the hon. Member opposite says that the technique which has to be adopted to cope with the new circumstances is to include the exclusion from this country of goods which he says we do not want—by which I believe he means the placing from time to time of an embargo on certain articles of luxury or of non-necessity—then we must not embark on any policy of a trade agreement of this kind which would make it impossible to put into effect this new technique during the period of the treaty.\n\nThe right hon. Member for Caithness and Sutherland made an eloquent speech, which he prefaced by saying that he wanted to do as little as possible to destroy the unity in the country. One thought passed through my mind as to what would happen when the right hon. Gentleman chose not to do as little but as much as possible.\n\n## 1 NOVEMBER 1938 International Situation\n\nOne or two other thoughts occurred to me during the course of his speech. He referred to the time when the right hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Eden) left the Government as the end of what he gave the impression was the golden age of unity in foreign policy, which the departure of the right hon. Gentleman destroyed. When I look at the attacks which the right hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington had to suffer in this House, the votes of censure which were moved upon him almost day by day, and the eloquence of the right hon. Member for Caithness and Sutherland, I find that, by merely substituting the word \"Spain\" for Czechoslovakia and the right hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington for the Prime Minister, they are almost word for word the speech which he made today. I could not but feel that people seem to take on a very rosy hue as soon as they leave the bench from which I am speaking.\n\nThere are one or two of the right hon. Gentleman's points with which I would like to deal. I will not refer to the matters he raised with regard to the Anglo-Italian Agreement, for clearly they are a matter for discussion tomorrow, nor with some of the questions he asked concerning Defence, which, as the Prime Minister said, will be discussed on a later occasion. However, the right hon. Gentleman asked a question about the position of those people now in concentration camps who might wish to make use of the article regarding option in the Munich Agreement. I think the Prime Minister pointed out that the difficulty of the means of the exercise of that article is at present under discussion between the German and Czech Commissioners, and that, in due course, no doubt the result of their discussion will come before the full conference. Until the terms are settled, it is impossible to say what the exact power of option will be.\n\nSir A. Sinclair: This is a very important matter.\n\nThe difficulty I foresee is that the Czech representative may not be very greatly interested in the fate of the Germans who may wish to opt out of the Reich. Could there not be an instruction to our Ambassador, when the matter is referred back to the International Commission, to take great care that the rights of these Germans who may be in concentration camps are safeguarded?\n\nMr. Stanley: Certainly, we will bear that in mind.\n\nThe right hon. Gentleman then asked a question about the position in China and the giving of assistance from this country. The right hon. Gentleman will recollect that there was an announcement in the House, I think on 14th July, that the Government had not seen their way to introduce the special legislation which would be necessary in order to grant a loan to China. That does not mean, however, that the Government have been neglectful of the undertakings given at Geneva to consider what support States might individually extend to China, and in this connection, they have expressed their willingness to assist, as far as lies in their power, in any scheme which might be put forward. Certain proceedings of this kind have been proposed, and they are at present under examination or on the way to fruition; but I think the right hon. Gentleman will agree that it is not desirable that the details of these proposals and the circumstances connected with these matters should be gone into here at the present time.\n\nWe also heard a very interesting speech from my hon. Friend the Member for East Aberdeen (Mr. Boothby), who, as recently pointed out, certainly does possess a golden tongue with which he appears to exercise complete control over the electors in Aberdeen. His speech, which covered a good deal of ground, most of which will be more directly connected with the Debate upon armaments when it comes next week, raised some extremely interesting points. I am always interested in the hon. Gentleman's views on finance and economics, because, although I do not always agree that they are right, they are always original and courageous. I must say that I did feel a little difficulty in going all the way with him on what he called the financial aspect of rearmament.\n\nI cannot, I am afraid, agree that rearmament, even to the extent to which we have embarked on it at the moment, and still less an accelerated and increased armament in the future, is the one and only way to prosperity for this country. I am perfectly prepared to recommend not only the armaments which we are now making but increased provision in the future as a necessary sacrifice which this people has to make for its security, but am not going to celebrate it as a good way of making the economy of this country prosperous.",

Similarly, the Chinese Government have suggested amendments to H.M. Ambassador in Chungking to the U.K. draft. \n\nTo both drafts, the Chinese have proposed adding an Article in the first place, reading:- \"**The relations between the Republic of China and the United States of America/the United Kingdom shall be based on principles of equality and reciprocity**\". \n\nThe Americans are rather frightened of this amendment, which they think is in some way connected with their own restrictions on Chinese immigration into the United States. They are, therefore, suggesting that they might say to the Chinese that the suggested Article seems to be an unnecessary addition because the Treaty speaks for itself; that the facts of our relationships as exemplified in the Treaty are more important than distinctive phrases; and that their idea of the present Treaty has been that the relinquishment of \"extra-territorial and special rights\" and such related questions as require attention because of the relinquishment of extra-territorial rights, and that it was their hope to achieve their purpose without bringing in further matters which might cause difficulty or perhaps unfortunate public discussion in China or elsewhere. \n\nSir H.

        "content_text": "## 50 \n\n(2) The questions of inland navigation, etc. We have given careful thought to the questions of the special rights which naval vessels of the U.S. have been accorded in the waters of China. These questions were raised by the Chinese Foreign Minister orally before his recent departure for China; they were raised again orally by the Chinese Minister Counselor on October 26th; they were raised in the document which the Chinese Ambassador handed to me on November 10th and they were raised for the fourth time by the Minister Counselor on November 13th. \n\nAs indicated in the Department's message of October 27th, Paragraph 2, our inclination in general has been toward including in the treaty some appropriate provisions on these subjects, especially if the Chinese should so desire. It has become apparent that the Chinese definitely desire the inclusion of such provisions in the treaty or in a supplementary exchange of notes. Our impression is that the Chinese will be insistent in this respect because, for one thing, the rights in China which we possess in regard to coastal trade and inland navigation (including navigation of inland waters by our naval vessels) are special and unilateral rights and, for another thing, those rights, although not actually related to extraterritoriality, are strongly associated in both the Chinese official and public mind with extraterritoriality. \n\nThroughout the course of our talks with Chinese officials, we have repeatedly and emphasized that we do not have any thought of seeking to reserve or retain or to obtain from China anything that is not normal and usual in international relations; that it has been our concept and assumption that the brief treaty would once and for all eliminate the anomalies in the relationships between the two countries; and that the primary objective of the treaty is to accomplish the abolition of extraterritorial and other special rights and to take care of such additional matters as require attention because of the abolition of rights of a special character. \n\nIt would be most unfortunate if the signing of the treaty should be delayed because of difficulty over questions relating to any special rights which it has been our intention in general to take care of by means of the treaty. In all probability, the existence of difficulties in regard to important issues would not remain long unknown to the public in China or in this country. Any unwarranted delay in the signing of the treaty would of itself probably furnish indication of the existence of controversy or other important difficulty. We feel sure that public opinion here would be adversely critical of any development which might have the appearance of an endeavour to retain important special and unilateral rights which we, for our part, are not in a position to grant to the Chinese. \n\nIn the light of the above, we would suggest that the British Government might wish to give further consideration to the question of adopting an article along the general line of ours. In this connection, we have of course taken note of Mr. Eden's statement in his letter of November 12th mentioned above that, if the inclusion in the treaty of such additional article should become unavoidable, the British Government would be agreeable thereto, although it would wish to bring the wording in the British draft in line with comparable provisions in other British treaties. \n\nWe accept the suggestion of the British Foreign Office that the words \"overseas merchant shipping\" be substituted for the words \"foreign commerce\".\n\nPage 50\nPage 51",

I said that this brought to mind the important question which would arise in solving the peace problems and establishing a suitable postwar economic and political structure in international affairs; and that there must exist a complete relationship of trust and confidence, friendliness and mutual cooperation among the principal governments of the United Nations, such as China, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States, to speak without invidious distinction.\n\nIt will be noted from our separate telegram to you mentioned above that the Chinese propose an additional article to be article number one and to read as follows: \"The relations between the Republic of China and the United States of America shall be based on the principles of equality and reciprocity\".\n\nWe do not know the precise purpose which the Chinese have in mind in suggesting this article, but it may have relation to the question raised in Mr. Eden's letter dated 10th November. When we discuss the matter with the Chinese we have in mind saying that the suggested article seems to us to be an unnecessary addition because the treaty speaks for itself; that the facts of our relationships as exemplified in the treaty are more important than descriptive phrases, that our concept of the brief treaty has been as the Chinese know that it would accomplish the relinquishment of extraterritorial and special rights and would take care of such related questions as require attention because of the relinquishment of extraterritorial rights; that we have hoped to achieve our purpose in such a way as to avoid bringing in extraneous matters which might cause difficulty and perhaps unfortunate public discussion either in this country or in China; and that the suggested additional article contains language which in our opinion is likely to be misconstrued by persons in this country as affecting broad questions which are necessarily not within the scope of our present endeavours.",

        "content_text": "# EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA\n\n1, Grosvenor Square, London, W.1.\n\nNovember 8, 1942.\n\nDear Mr. Eden,\n\nWith reference to your letter of November 5th regarding the future rights of our nationals to acquire real property in China, the Department of State has asked me to let you know informally that before presenting our draft treaty on extra-territoriality to the Chinese they gave careful consideration to the subject which you raised. The Department has telegraphed me that our general thought on this subject is as follows:\n\nOne of the fundamental concepts we have had in mind in regard to the proposed treaty is that it should be confined in general to the question of extra-territorial jurisdiction and immediately related questions. In addition, we have felt that the treaty should be along broad lines and in general should be of a character which would meet with prompt support in China and in the United States. We have included in our draft treaty provisions which would give new rights in China to American nationals only in those few instances in which such provisions would not be likely to conflict with this approach.\n\nTo endeavour to cover the subject mentioned by you in your letter of November 5th would, the Department believes, cause delay in concluding the treaty and would raise in the United States, because of the provisions of some state laws, difficult questions relating to State and Federal jurisdictions. In the modern treaties concluded by this Government, questions relating to real property are covered by very detailed and precise provisions. In most cases, the question of ownership of real property is not covered. When it is covered, the provisions are of a specialized character. We are accordingly of the opinion that it would be preferable to hold in abeyance questions relating to this whole matter for possible inclusion in the comprehensive treaty which we contemplate concluding at a later time with the Chinese and if decision is then made to include the subject, to determine at that time the form and character which provisions might most advantageously take on this subject.\n\nSincerely,\n**(signed) John G. Winant**\n\nThe Rt. Hon. Anthony Eden, M.C., M.P.,  \n**Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs**  \nForeign Office,  \nWhitehall, S.W.1.",

Inasmuch as the American draft conforms more nearly to points already embodied in existing American treaties, we are retaining our draft. To assume that the British Government will use its draft. We would point out for the consideration of the British Government that the British draft does not accord a right of visit to nationals under detention.\n\n6. \n\nWith regard to (H), relating to the proposed note from the Chinese Government, we do not understand the British Government's statement that they will take up the substance of that note with the Chinese Government informally \"in the first place\". While this Government is prepared to suggest to the Chinese Government informally that the Chinese Government may care, of its own initiative and as a unilateral act on its part and in whatever way the Chinese Government wishes, to take whatever steps it might consider appropriate to provide for treatment of foreigners in China along the lines set forth in the first two paragraphs of the proposed note and perhaps to provide for one of the matters contained in the third paragraph, we continue to feel strongly that it would be inadvisable to suggest either formally or informally to the Chinese Government that it give a note covering the points mentioned. Before we can decide to mention the matter informally to the Chinese Government, we should like to be sure that we understand the British Government's position in this respect.\n\n7. We note that the amendments to this Government's draft communicated in the Department's two messages of October 19th are acceptable to and will be adopted by the British Government. (`Mr. Vinant's two letters to Mr. Eden dated October 20th`).\n\n8. We understand that the Government of the United States and the British Government are now in substantial agreement and know what each Government intends to embody in the draft treaty which each will present to the Chinese Government for that Government's consideration. We realize, as stated by the British Government, that phraseology which suits the position in the United States might not exactly suit the position in the United Kingdom and vice versa. On this point, we would observe however that there are obvious and definite advantages to the British treaty and the American treaty being as nearly identical as circumstances permit. We also venture to repeat our view that it is desirable that these treaties be drafted along broad general lines and that they avoid particularization which can appropriately be left to the negotiation later of comprehensive treaties and which if included in the present drafts of proposed treaties might cause the Chinese to present detailed desiderata of their own and thus delay the conclusion of the treaties and dissipate the wholesome and beneficial psychological atmosphere which has thus far resulted and which we earnestly hope may be continued. We should greatly appreciate it if the British Government would give further thought to those basic considerations with special reference to the additions it has proposed to Article Five and to Article Three.\n\n9. In response to Mr. Eden's suggestion, we shall postpone the presentation of the text of the draft treaty to the Chinese Ambassador until Saturday morning, October 24th. In so doing, we shall ask the Chinese Ambassador to regard the text as confidential until...\n\nPage 200\nPage 201",

I am grateful for the postponement by two days of the communication which the United States Government proposes to make to the Chinese Ambassador in Washington. Although we shall not ourselves be able to communicate our draft treaty so early as tomorrow, the postponement will help towards bringing our respective dates of communication nearer together. \n\nI enclose herein a further memorandum in reply to the message from the Department of State contained in your letter. As you will see, it is our intention to bring our own draft treaty and procedure very closely into conformity with yours. I would, however, draw your attention once again to the important point of principle which arises in Article 5 of your draft treaty (see point c in the accompanying memorandum). \n\nI am aware that the Chinese Government might see difficulty in granting full national treatment especially in the matter of industrial enterprise, but as I told you on the telephone last night, we feel strongly that if we do not try to obtain national treatment in the matters mentioned in Article 5 from the Chinese Government now it is highly improbable that we shall be able to persuade them to grant it at a later stage when we come to negotiate our comprehensive and detailed treaties. We should have been glad therefore if the United States Government had seen its way to join us in endeavouring to obtain for our commerce ordinary treatment in accordance with international practice such as we are quite prepared to grant to the Chinese ourselves and which carries with it no stigma or vestige of the former inequality. I should be grateful if there were anything you could even at this late stage to persuade your Government either to reconsider the suggestions we have made or to make some suggestion of their own which would cover in the present treaties the point we have in mind. My reason for being so insistent in this matter is that, as you know, we have a larger commercial interest at stake in China than most other countries. \n\n**(Signed) Anthony Eden.** \n\nHis Excellency \nThe Hon. John G. Winant, \netc., etc., \netc.",

The decision will apply immediately to the free parts of China, and will apply to the whole of liberated and reconstituted China after the war. The following announcement was issued in London last night:\n\nHis Majesty's Government have declared in public pronouncements on January 14, 1939, July 18, 1940, and June 11, 1941, that they were prepared at the conclusion of hostilities in the Far East to negotiate with the Chinese Government for the abrogation of the extra-territorial rights and privileges hitherto enjoyed by their nationals in China. Similar pronouncements have been made by the United States Government, with whom His Majesty's Government have been in consultation.\n\n## IMMEDIATE ACTION\n\nIn order to emphasize their friendship and solidarity with their Chinese allies, His Majesty's Government have now decided to proceed further in this matter at once. Accordingly, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs made a communication to the Chinese Chargé d'Affaires in London on October 9, indicating that His Majesty's Government hoped in the near future to open discussions with the Chinese Government and to present for their consideration a draft treaty for the immediate relinquishment of extra-territorial rights and privileges in China and for the settlement of questions intimately connected therewith.\n\nHis Majesty's Government have recently been engaged in an exchange of views with the United States Government on this question. They have been pleased to learn that a similar communication was made by the United States Government on the same day to the Chinese Ambassador in Washington, and the fact that the two Governments have found it possible to take similar action in this important matter has occasioned lively satisfaction in London.\n\n## EQUAL PARTNERS\n### CHINESE COOPERATION AFTER THE WAR\n#### FROM OUR DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENT\n\nThe British Government are especially glad that this announcement, so long expected, should be made in full cooperation with the United States. It is not simply parallel policy; it is joint policy. More than that, the settlement should help in preparing the way for the powerful and honourable cooperation which the British Government, no less than others, wish to see established after the war among the four great allied Powers, Britain, America, the Soviet Union, and China.\n\nWith the growth of Chinese national consciousness, the extraterritorial rights of foreigners have become more and more irksome, and China's fight in this war has led the allies to decide now to announce their renunciation. All trade and other treaties now negotiated will be concluded between equal partners.\n\nExtraterritorial rights were manifest in several ways. Most clearly of all, they were seen in the concessions—for example, in the International Settlement at Shanghai and in the British concessions at Tientsin, Canton, and the other foreign concessions at Hankow and elsewhere. Foreign residents in these concessions were under their own administration, and subject to their own taxes and laws.\n\n## A LIBERAL POLICY\n\nBut the rights extended outside the concessions proper. A foreigner whose Government had extraterritorial rights was withdrawn from the jurisdiction of Chinese courts and officials wherever he might be in China. He could only be tried or sued according to his own national laws, administered by officials of his own country. There were special rights of taxation, and foreign shipping could navigate the coastal and inland waters of China with the minimum of Chinese control.\n\nThe abolition of the \"unequal treaties\" was one of the main demands of the Chinese Nationalist Party, which came into prominence in 1925. The British Government as early as 1926 initiated a more liberal policy on the part of the Treaty Powers. Early in 1927, we handed back the concessions at Hankow, Chinkiang, and Kiukiang, setting an example for other Powers.\n\nIn 1928, all the principal Powers concluded new agreements with China; they abrogated the tariff restriction clauses in the old treaties that had been one of the main Chinese grievances. In 1931, we had almost completed a draft agreement concerning other concessions when Japan invaded Manchuria, and decision was delayed.\n\nMr. Eden yesterday saw the Chinese Chargé d'Affaires, as the Ambassador, Mr. Wellington Koo, is on leave.\n\n## 7210",

One of the important reasons why, as we have previously stated, we have felt it advisable to take some affirmative action with reference to the question of relinquishing in China extraterritorial rights at this time has been to show an initiative on the part of the United States and Great Britain and to keep the initiative in our hands.\n\n(2) We believe, with the foregoing considerations in mind, it would be advisable for the American Government to inform in strict confidence the Chinese Ambassador here and for the British Government to inform in strict confidence the Chinese Ambassador in London, for their report to the Chinese Government, in strict confidence similarly, that the American Government and the British Government, for a good many weeks, have been giving intensive consideration to the question of making approaches to the Chinese Government directed toward the relinquishment in China of consular jurisdiction, and that the study of the American and British Governments has proceeded now to a point where the American and British Governments respectively expect to present to the Chinese Government within the relatively near future, for its consideration, draft treaties, the conclusion of which would accomplish the described end.\n\n(3) At the earliest possible moment, please inform Mr. Eden of the foregoing and tell him that I suggest that the American Government and the British Government inform orally, in the sense indicated, the respective Chinese Ambassadors in Washington and in London on Friday, October 9th, the communication of the American Government to be in the forenoon and the communication of the British Government to be in the afternoon, with a view to taking account of difference in time.\n\n(4) Also, please inform Mr. Eden that the text of a brief draft treaty of the nature we have in mind, prepared after study of the comments of the British Foreign Office, the comments of Ambassador Gauss, and the comments which Ambassador Gauss has informed us the British Ambassador at Chungking has forwarded to the British Government, is being telegraphed separately. When received, please communicate the text to Mr. Eden for the information of the British Government and for such comment as it may desire to offer.",

The Foreign Office are, therefore, chasing up the outstanding points in our draft Agreement with the Chinese very hotly in order to reach finality.\n\nThe East Africa Department is content with the Foreign Office intentions about the Article which will govern rights in the future acquisition of real property, viz. there will be a reciprocal right for British in China and for Chinese in British territory to acquire real property, either \"in accordance with the conditions and requirements prescribed in the laws and regulations\" of the country concerned, or, \"as far as possible under the same conditions as nationals\" of the territory concerned.\n\nThe Foreign Office are now inclined to accept the face-saving device of the Chinese Minister Han Lih Wu reported at Q in 174. Mr. Ashley Clarke (Foreign Office) visited me last night with (1) a draft telegram to Chungking to say that Mr. Eden thought that would be a way out and had decided to seek War Cabinet approval urgently for telling the Chinese Government that H.M.G. would be ready to discuss the future of the New Territories with them as soon as victory was won. In the meantime Sir H. Seymour could make a strictly personal response to Han Lih Wu's suggestion and say that he will, of course, refer it to H.M.G. for their consideration, but his own private view was that it was likely to meet with favourable attention from H.M.G. (2) a draft memorandum to the Cabinet explaining briefly the development of the Chinese request in these negotiations for provision to be made regarding the New Territories in the present Agreement, and Han Lih Wu's face-saving suggestion, and asking for authority to let the Chinese Government know that as soon as victory was achieved we should be ready to discuss with them the future of the New Territories.\n\nMr. Eden's memorandum is likely to be circulated today for the Cabinet on Monday, and the Secretary of State will no doubt consider whether there would be any advantages in taking up at this moment the question at Y in my minute of 16.12., viz. the inclusion of the whole Colony of Hong Kong instead of only the New Territories in any discussions with China when victory is won.\n\nThe scope of the discussions does come up for detailed consideration.\n\nSEL.

        "content_text": "# Secretary of State\n\nWe have now reached a point in the negotiations with China in reference to the draft Treaty on Extra-Territorial Concessions, at which it is necessary to take a firm decision regarding their request to include the \"New Territories\" in the proposed agreement. I understand that the matter will probably come before the War Cabinet on Monday, and I think that Mr. Edmonds should arrange for you to be summoned to the meeting. I think that we have no alternative but to accept the so-called face-saving device reported at 'Q' in 174. This will recognise that the New Territories are not concerned with the matters now under negotiation but will agree that the question can be raised later on at a more appropriate time. In earlier Ministerial discussions, it was suggested that the whole question of the future sovereignty of Hong Kong should be left open for discussion after the war. This line, however, was not approved by the War Cabinet, and the discussions took place before the recent victories in Africa and before the Prime Minister's Guildhall speech. It is possible that the Cabinet may wish to take a firmer line. On the last paragraph of Mr. Gent's minute, I am personally averse to expressing a willingness to include the whole Colony of Hong Kong instead of only the New Territories in any discussions with China when victory is won. It is true that Hong Kong without the New Territories would be in a thoroughly unsatisfactory position, but I see every advantage in leaving the scope of the discussions to be considered at a later date. I cannot comment further until we see Mr. Eden's memorandum, but you may wish to discuss the position with Mr. Gent and myself when you have seen the memorandum.\n\n19.12.42\n\n| Code | To       | Reference    |\n|------|----------|--------------|\n| 177  | %        |              |\n| 178  | Burma    | til 943 of 16/12 |\n| 179  | D.O      | til D559 of 17/12 |\n| 180  | Chungking| 1601 of 18/12 |\n| 181  | \"        | 1602          |\n| 182  | \"        | 1603          |\n\nPage 20  \nPage 21",

The Chinese reply is so far only in the form of an oral statement by Dr. Wellington Koo in his personal capacity; the Chinese Government, he said, had decided that no solution would be acceptable to them unless it contained a clear statement that H.M.G. intended to return the New Territories to China. They had no objection to the matter being dealt with outside the Treaty (We had proposed an exchange of notes) or to the actual arrangements being made after the war but unless this statement of H.M.G.'s intentions were made the Chinese Government would not sign the extra-territoriality Treaty. He added that both the Chinese Government and the Kuomintang Party were committed and could not now draw back.\n\nthat\n\nA\nSir H. Seymour now expects the Chinese Government's refusal to sign the Treaty except on these terms, will now be officially communicated to him and he says that this will lead to a serious deterioration of Anglo-Chinese relations just when they were rapidly improving. understand that the F.O. are taking this reply back to the War Cabinet immediately. The United States Treaty with China on extra-territoriality questions is intended to be signed on the 1st January and the F.O. were hoping that our own Treaty would be signed about the same time. In his memorandum to the Cabinet (`190`) Mr. Eden pointed out that we could not expect any support from the United States Government in a refusal to discuss with China the question of the New Territories. In that memorandum, however, he only recommended that we should inform the Chinese Government that we should be prepared to discuss the future of the New Territories when victory has been won. The present Chinese ultimatum to us calls, of course, for something much more definite. Whatever course we may have to take after the war about the New Territories or about Hong Kong itself, I believe that it is of first-rate importance, both from the Colonial Office point of view and from the wider British point of view, that we should not allow ourselves to be brow-beaten by the Chinese in present circumstances. It is possible that the Chinese Government see our influence and military successes to be likely to grow rapidly from now on and that unless they win their point now they would be in a weaker position to do so later. The fact that they have communicated this important \"decision\" via Mr. Wellington Koo, \"speaking in his personal capacity\" suggests that the Chinese Government is keeping for itself an avenue of retreat and that a firm and quick answer to this ultimatum of theirs will cause them to think again.\n\n29.12.42.\n\nSince dictating the above I have just received from the F.O. the attached telegrams, 218 and 219. 218 is a definite refusal by H.M.G. to accept the Chinese demand and a threat to jettison the Treaty\n\nP.T.O.",

Our desire has been throughout to align ourselves with the United States as closely as our differing positions allowed and to make of the signing of our treaties an Anglo-American-Chinese act of political solidarity.\n\nOnly one point remains to be settled and this, although not of our raising, is of essential importance to us.

It is further understood however that should the public of China later in any way extend the right of inland navigation or participation in coastal trade to vessels of any third nation, such rights would similarly be extended to vessels of the U. S. of America.\" The Chinese Government states that in view of the importance which the Chinese people attach to the questions of the coasting trade and inland navigation it is anxious that these questions be dealt with in as clear cut a manner as is the question of visits by foreign warships.\n\n2. As regards (b) (1) above, we are inclined to adopt an attitude similar to that of the British Government as expressed in paragraph numbered two of Mr. Eden's letter of December 4 and assume that with the abolition of the treaty port system it is not the intention of the Chinese Government to confine foreign overseas shipping to particular ports. We accordingly propose not to make any further counter suggestion to the Chinese on this point.\n\n3. As regards the questions of inland navigation and coasting trade, which questions would seem to constitute the only remaining matter of difference between us and the Chinese, we are prepared to accept an appropriately revised wording of the formula suggested by the Chinese which would be consistent with the provisions of the draft full article on this subject previously proposed as an alternative to reserving the matter for the latter comprehensive treaty. We accordingly expect to suggest to the Chinese that the second sentence of the quoted portion of paragraph (b) (2) above be revised to read as follows: \"It is further understood however that if vessels of any third powers are permitted to participate in the coasting trade or inland navigation, vessels of the U.S. of America shall be allowed the same privileges.\"\n\n4. With regard to Mr. Eden's comments forwarded in his letter of December 7, it is desired that you inform Mr. Eden along the following lines:\n\nAlthough we have naturally been desirous, for reasons which Mr. Eden will himself of course appreciate and some of which we have referred to in previous telegrams, to expedite so far as possible the conclusion of the brief treaty on extraterritoriality, we have made no concession to the Chinese merely for the sake of saving time. On the contrary, on several occasions action which we had been desirous of taking and which we were after full consideration prepared to take has been postponed by us because of our desire to cooperate to the fullest extent possible with the British Government and in the earnest hope of reducing to a minimum the very few divergencies between our views and those of the British Government - divergencies which have arisen as a very natural result of necessary differences between our respective practices and procedures.\n\nAs previously mentioned, our concept in proposing the brief treaty has been that it would effect abolition of extraterritorial and other special rights and would take care of such related matters as might require attention because of abolition of extraterritoriality. We had of course hoped to avoid extraneous matters and matters of particularization which might cause the negotiations to be unnecessarily prolonged and thereby tending to lessen...",

From the beginning we have had no thought of seeking to reserve or to obtain from China anything that is not usual and normal in modern international relations between friendly countries and we have, it is believed, made this clear both to the Chinese Government and to the British Government. We have proceeded on the assumption that the Chinese Government has had in mind objectives identical with ours and has desired, as strongly as we have desired, to see the relations between the U.S. and China placed, through the medium of the brief treaty, on a basis of what is normal, usual, equitable, and just in international relations.\n\nThe concepts of the British Government in regard to the question of relinquishment of extraterritorial and related rights has, from the outset of our discussions, proved to be substantially the same as ours. As mentioned above, and previously in paragraph numbered three of our message of November 25 (Mr. Winant's letter of November 27), such divergence of views as has obtained between this Government and the British Government in regard to such questions as the coasting trade and inland navigation arises from differences in the established practices and procedures of the two Governments.\n\nTreatment of commercial subjects by this Government and treatment thereof by the British Government are necessarily affected by considerations and requirements which are not identical. As previously mentioned, we are not in a position reciprocally to offer to the Chinese a simple formula suitable for inclusion in the present treaty providing for national treatment in commerce, for the reason that in our consideration of such matters we must take into account difficult problems of State and Federal jurisdiction.\n\nIn addition, we are not in a position reciprocally to offer the Chinese rights of coasting trade or inland navigation. Nevertheless, in an endeavor to meet British wishes, we accepted a formula designed, among other things, to place coasting trade and inland navigation in the category of pending matters. Accordingly, we propose to the Chinese that these matters be held in abeyance. We proposed as an alternative a formula suggested by the British Government. As a third suggested procedure, we proposed the insertion of a full article on inland navigation and coasting trade along the lines of articles written into our modern treaties with other countries. The question of proposing such an article was raised with the British Government as early as October 31 and received comment in Mr. Eden's letter to you of November 12, to the effect that if the inclusion of an additional article in the treaty became unavoidable, the British Government would be agreeable to accepting one along those general lines. As the Chinese have been insistent in dealing with the coasting trade and inland navigation in the present treaty, we did not see how we could do other than keep such action as might be decided upon within the framework of our policy not to seek special rights. Our inability to offer reciprocal rights necessitated the action which we took and which had received full consideration. In this connection, we mentioned in paragraph numbered 6 of our message of November 25 that we believed that we had come as closely as is possible within...",

It is nevertheless to be feared that as a draft article making the maximum concession to the Chinese has already been shown to the Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs, the possibilities of negotiation will have been severely limited.\n\nI take this opportunity to point out that on several occasions in the latest phase of the discussions, the United States Government have, with the object of saving time, conceded to the Chinese points of great importance to His Majesty's Government before our Ambassador in Chungking could be in a position to discuss them with the Chinese Government.\n\nWhile we realise the political advantages of concluding an agreement without undue delay and appreciate to the full the collaboration of the United States Government in this matter, we are dealing with questions of the greatest importance to our commercial, financial, and shipping interests in the Far East, and the decisions which we reach now will have an inevitable effect on the negotiations for the comprehensive modern treaty to be concluded subsequently. We should have hoped, therefore, that before these decisions were taken, we should have had sufficient time to consider the points at issue and to arrive at an agreement with the Chinese Government by an orderly process of negotiation.\n\nWe do not feel that the reasons given by the Chinese Minister Counsellor in Washington for asking that the whole matter should be rushed through within a very brief period were of sufficient weight to override these considerations; and indeed, according to my information, the last session of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang took place on the 2nd December.\n\nI observe from the message from the Department of State dated 27th November contained in your letter of the 28th November that the Department intend, for the sole purpose of cooperating with His Majesty's Government, to suggest to the Chinese that the signing of the treaty be deferred for approximately ten days. I shall be grateful if you will inform me from what date the ten days will run.\n\n## His Excellency\n### The Honourable John G. Winant\n\nSgd **Anthony Eden**\n7 December 1942\n`F8081/828/10`",

        "content_text": "# MESSAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE\n## DATED NOVEMBER 25, 1942.\n\n104\n\nabove  \nalove  \n\nIt has been the earnest desire of the Department, of course, to meet British wishes in regard to various questions in connection with the draft treaty on extraterritoriality and supplemental exchange of notes to the greatest extent that would be compatible with our broad interests and fundamental policies. In response to Mr. Eden's suggestions contained in your telegram under reference (Mr. Eden's letter of November 23rd) and in the light of the wish of both Governments to get forward in the matter, the question what means might be adopted to enable us to come closely to paralleling, if not in all cases adopting, the British suggestions has been given further study and as a result we offer comment and suggestions as the basis of reply to Mr. Eden as follows:\n\n1.  \n(1) Our suggestion in this respect was contained in our message of November 21st.  \n(2), (3), (a) and (b) see our message of November 21st with further reference to (3) (b) we intend as indicated in our message of November 24th to incorporate the Chinese suggestion in full in Article 4 of our draft.\n\n(4) The British suggestion in regard to the reference, inserted in Article 5 of our draft, to \"the carrying on of commerce\": as previously explained this question tends to raise difficult questions of state and Federal jurisdiction in this country. Consequently, we have not been happy about the matter; we feel that the fundamental difficulty involved has not been adequately taken care of; and, now that the Chinese have raised objection to the inclusion of the phrase and have pointed out that it involves a matter which most appropriately might be covered by the subsequent comprehensive treaty, we do not feel that we can consistently do other than accept the Chinese suggestion that it be deleted, especially as it is believed that there is little if any possibility of overcoming Chinese opposition to inclusion of the phrase.\n\n(5) Agreement has been reached in regard to this question.\n\n(6) This question was covered in our message of November 21st. We now propose, in the light of the modification of the provision concerning coasting trade and inland navigation discussed in paragraph numbered 3 below, to insert in the suggested note from the Chinese Government after the reference to treaty ports a sentence as follows: \"As regards the question of the treatment of overseas merchant shipping, it is mutually understood that the vessels of each country shall be permitted freely to come into the ports, places, and waters of the other country which are or may be open to overseas merchant shipping and that the treatment shall be no less favourable than that accorded to national vessels and shall be as favourable as that accorded to the vessels of any third country\".\n\nTo/  \n283",

It will be observed that in his letter of the 3rd May to Mr. Sedgwick, which forms one of the sub-enclosures in this despatch, Dr. Gordon King advances the view that the funds of Hong Kong University should remain intact and suggests that the cost of assistance to the students should continue to be advanced from Government funds and the question of possible reimbursement left until after the war. Colonel Stanley will recall that the probable cost of assistance to Hong Kong University students for the year 1943 was estimated at $1,045,000, or rather more than £13,000 at the official rate of exchange. On the other hand, the income from Hong Kong University investments, Mr. Eden notes, amounts to nearly £13,000 per annum, which, with the addition of the 50% granted by the Chinese Government in the case of relief funds, would be equivalent to over $1,500,000. On this basis there would be a surplus over and above present commitments, and it would not be necessary to trench at all upon the capital funds of the Hong Kong University.\n\n3.

Dr. King therefore suggests that the cost of the assistance should continue to be advanced from government funds and the question of possible reimbursement left until after the war.\n\n3.

This second report carries the story of progress up to the 15th October and gives a graphic account of the hardships endured, the difficulties encountered, the assistance received and the work accomplished. Accounts of experiences suffered by a number of the students given in their own language are attached to the report and give some idea of the hazards of the journey into Free China.\n\n3. Dr. King makes it clear that the work done is highly appreciated by the students themselves and it should be gratifying to the sponsors of the University to realise that it possesses a number of friends all of whom have helped to make the work possible.\n\n4. It should not be overlooked that the major contribution has been made by the Chinese Government, through Mr. Chen Li-fu, Minister of Education, through their action in throwing open the National universities of China to the students with free tuition and dormitory accommodation.\n\n5. The budget submitted in the report dated July 2nd, 1942, has been considerably exceeded due to the fact that it covers an extended period, considerably more students and a rising scale of costs.\n\n6. I am of the opinion that the report and estimates are highly satisfactory and I trust that they will have your approval even though they may have to be adjusted later should the cost of living proceed unchecked on its upward path.\n\n7. Dr. King requests that copies of the report be transmitted to Sir Geoffrey Northcote, former Governor of Hong Kong, and Mr. A. Morse, of the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation. Copies are enclosed for transmission to them if you concur.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nWith the highest respect,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient humble servant,\n\n(Signed) H.J.

RECY\n\nSir, \n\nMANILA. \nApril 23rd, 1941. \nA793/793/45 \n32 \n\nWith reference to your telegram No.8 of the 24th February, I have the honour to transmit herewith copies of the formal letters of thanks which I addressed on the 17th April to the President of the Philippine Commonwealth and to the United States High Commissioner for the facilities and assistance afforded by the Commonwealth authorities and the Philippine Red Cross respectively to the British women and children evacuated from Hong Kong to Manila last July. \n\n2. President Quezon received me at a full meeting of the Commonwealth Cabinet at Baguio on the 19th instant, when I presented to him the silver bowl on behalf of His Majesty's Government. In his reply the President stated that he was glad to have this opportunity of expressing his sincere admiration for England and for the fight which her people were waging for liberty and freedom. The Philippines stood ready to help the British in every possible way, but of course it must be remembered that foreign relations were at present bound with those of the United States. \n\n3. The Philippine Red Cross is at present holding its annual conference at Baguio and I was therefore able to present the pieces of plate to Mr. Forster, the manager, and his lady helpers, at a full meeting of the Society on the 21st April. Mr. Forster, replying, stated that, in these days, they spoke the name of \"England\" with affection and profound respect, and that to be of service to her people at such a time was a rare privilege, for in serving British women and children, they felt they were standing side by side with England. \n\n4. This morning I proceeded to army headquarters to present the salver to the Philippine Department. I was welcomed by a salute of guns from the fort and received by Major-General Grunert and the whole of his staff. In accepting the salver, General Grunert stated that his officers and men were most happy to be of service to the British people and were ever ready and willing to cement the bond which exists between our nations, and in every way to show their admiration for the magnificent fight which we are making in furtherance of the aims and ideals of democracy. \n\n5. The presentations were a complete surprise to all classes, both American and Filipino, and this expression of the gratitude of His Majesty's Government at the assistance afforded the evacuees has undoubtedly served to strengthen the sympathy which is with Britain in her fight against Nazism and the desire to assist her in every way that is open to them. \n\nI have, etc., \n(Signed) S. Wyatt Smith. \nConsul-General. \n\nThe Right Honourable Anthony Eden, M.P., M.C., \netc., etc., etc.",

I have the honour to transmit herewith a short report on the activities of Mr. Thorson, of the Hong Kong Police, since the outbreak of hostilities in Hong Kong up to the time of his arrival in Chungking, where he reported under my instructions. \n\n2. Mr. Thorson displayed courage and enterprise in effecting his escape from Stanley Internment Camp to Free China, together with Mrs. Victor Priestwood. He remained for two months in Kwangtung, in the hope of organising assistance for escapees from Hong Kong, but force of circumstances unfortunately prevented him from achieving any measure of success. \n\n3. I had under consideration the return of Mr. Thorson to Kwangtung to continue the type of work he had initiated, but this can be cared for by the M.I.9 organisation set up by my Military Attaché, who, however, is unable to employ Mr. Thorson.\n\nAs reported in my telegram No.86 of 25th June 1942, Mr. Thorson has since left for India to offer his services, on the recommendation of this Embassy, for police work there. \n\nI have the honour to be, \n\nwith the highest respect, \n\nSir, \n\nYour most obedient humble servant, \n\n**The Right Honourable Anthony Eden, M.C., M.P.** \n\nForeign Office, \n\nLONDON, \n\n(Signed) H.

They told me they considered that the British had fought very well. They also said they would like to return to Japan and that wars were not a good thing.\n\nThe other incident was when I was on the Peak when the house coolie came in and told me a Japanese soldier was in the kitchen and wished to have his food - a tin of bully beef - warmed. I was cross and rather grudgingly allowed the food to be warmed - fuel was very difficult to get then. A Japanese officer came up to the house as well, and I told the coolie to give them their food when warmed on the dining room table. They then asked me to give them some rice, so I looked in the saucepans on the stove and found the rice which was being heated up again for the dogs and told the coolie to give them that. They wouldn't eat it and said it was too poor, so I said I was sorry. They then asked for whiskey and beer, and I told them there was none and gave them tea. They amazed me when, on leaving, they handed me five tins of bully beef. This probably doesn't sound very much, but when food is scarce, bully beef is bully beef and five tins well worth having, particularly as at the time we had no meat at all in the house.\n\nI can quote further incidents of consideration but think these two give the general atmosphere.\n\nThompson's notes read:\n\n\"I know of cases also where Japanese have behaved with kindness and sympathy towards British people, and I cannot but strongly emphasize the value of a fair distinction between individual acts of brutality and kindness from the propaganda point of view.\n\nThe Japanese were most angry at the nature of propaganda reports emanating from Chungking, given by persons who had escaped from Hongkong. While I do not know the full context of the broadcasting, they were undoubtedly received with anger by the Japanese. Their press made much of \"Atrocity charges\" by Mr. Antony Eden shortly before we left Stanley.\n\nIt",

Meanwhile, Canadian soldiers and civilians at Hong-kong and elsewhere in the Far East are at the mercy of the Japanese. Remembering this, it is of the utmost importance that no act of vengeance should be permitted against Japanese in Canada, since such would be made an excuse for retaliation upon Canadians in the Orient.\n\nMr. Hanson, the Conservative Party leader, said the atrocities would shock the whole world and renew the determination to end for ever those systems of government under which they were permitted. \n\nMr. Coldwell, the C.C.F. (Labour) leader, declared that those responsible must be brought to justice.\n\nThe revelations, which have been given widespread publicity, have shocked and outraged the Canadian people. There is no disposition to challenge the advice of the leaders of all political parties against taking special reprisals upon Japanese residents in Canada, but there is an intensified demand that the measures for their rigid surveillance shall be sternly carried out and that no licence shall be allowed them.\n\n12 MAR 1942",

After the unspeakable self-degradation of the Japanese army at Nanking anything, it was felt here, could be expected; and as the New York Sun says to-day, five years of war in China, carried on under the eyes of foreigners, have amply taught that whatever bushido may mean to the Japanese among themselves it has no significance when it comes to the treatment of conquered peoples.\n\nLike other commentators, the Sun says that it will not do to set down the behaviour of the Japanese at Hong-kong to the account of Oriental barbarism, for the calculated cruelty of which the Japanese have been found guilty is exactly of the same pattern as that practised by their Nazi allies in Europe. Let the Poles say whether the British victims of Hong-kong have anything to envy them. It is all part of the strategic plan of the Axis, designed to terrify the peoples of the world into submission. Rather will it stiffen their determination to fight on until such deeds are avenged, and until the perpetrators of them have been rendered for ever incapable of repeating them.\n\n## JAPAN'S ATROCIOUS PURPOSE\n\nThe New York Times says, with Mr. Eden, that the vaunted \"bushido\" of the Japanese has become a nauseating hypocrisy, but that the atrocities of their army are not surprising. Like Germany, Japan has started an atrocious war for an atrocious purpose (it says). For Japan, as for Nazi Germany, atrocities are never accidents. They are parts of a design. In inflicting these horrors on the unfortunates who come into their power, they (the Japanese) enjoy a certain immunity. The United Nations must not and cannot retaliate in kind on the Japanese soldiers and civilians now within their lines. We cannot degrade ourselves to barbarian levels.\n\nBut Hong-kong may do for us what the sack of Nanking did for the Chinese. It may convince us that in the Japan of to-day, as in Nazi Germany, there is a spirit so diabolical that no peace can be made with it on any terms short of unconditional surrender. This evil thing must be destroyed, or it will destroy the world.",

This came as a surprise, because the information seen by this Censor Station up to that time, disclosed that reports confirming the above, came solely from missionaries in China who did not receive them first hand, whereas, reports of atrocities having occurred to Europeans prior to Japanese Officers getting control of their troops within 24 hours after the capitulation, came from obviously much more reliable sources.\n\nIt was decided to continue collecting such information as was seen in censorship, and this is now compiled into a special report.\n\nAdvantage has been taken of Miss Harrop's presence in Calcutta to discuss with her the contents of this report, which she states are accurate. It will be remembered that Mr. Anthony Eden disclosed in the House of Commons that his information regarding atrocities had been received from Miss Harrop. The information was sent in cipher and it was not possible for Miss Harrop to give full details.\n\nIn the course of conversation with Miss Harrop, the following information of interest has come to light:\n\n1. That the cases of raping and murdering European women occurred on parts of the Island captured and isolated a varying number of days before the surrender, and when the Japanese troops, flushed with victory, were out of control.\n\n2. Dr. Gordon King mentioned in Para 4 of the report below was the leading Gynaecologist in Hong Kong.\n\n3. Owing to the high incidence of venereal diseases amongst Japanese troops, arrangements were made in Hong Kong for all European and Chinese women who were raped to receive special treatment, and Miss Harrop is of the opinion that Dr. Gordon King would be better placed than any other person, to obtain accurate information regarding the true facts of the raping of European women. He makes no comment on raping.\n\n4. She confirms that the Japanese, to save ammunition, resorted to the use of bayonets.\n\n5. She also confirms that British troops who did not 'knuckle under' to the Japanese were ill-treated and in some cases slaughtered.\n\n6. After the capitulation on Christmas Day, Hong Kong had its heaviest air-raid. Later it was confirmed that the Japanese Air Force carried out this raid in ignorance of the capitulation.\n\n7. After the capitulation, order was quickly restored, and to the best of her knowledge, no further cases of raping European women occurred.\n\n1701/11/28",

        "content_text": "8. The Sikh Police were sent back to duty by the Japanese and assisted the Japanese in searching Europeans. The Japanese attitude to European women in these searches was correct, but the attitude and handling of the women by the Sikhs was most objectionable.\n\nMiss Harrop confirms that the story of British troops being roped together at Repulse Bay Hotel and having their arms cut off before being shot or bayonetted to death is correct, but this happened before the capitulation. This sight was witnessed by Col. Ryde, R.A.M.C., who has escaped from Hong Kong and already made his report to the home authorities.\n\n10. Reference Item 8 of the attached Report, Miss Harrop has seen Mrs. Black since the surrender. She was neither raped nor killed.\n\nFollowing Mr. Anthony Eden's speech in the Commons, a state of mental panic has undoubtedly come into existence in the minds of a very large number of European women in India, judging not only by what is written in letters, but by what is being talked about amongst Europeans in towns, and particularly some of the hill stations.\n\nI heard a report that an escapee from Hong Kong is reputed to have advised certain friends to shoot first their children and then themselves if the Japanese invaded India.\n\nI feel it is deplorable to allow these inaccurate and terrifying accounts to go uncontradicted, as the panic which they must cause is obviously so detrimental to the war effort.\n\nThe position as it now stands is in the best interests of the enemy and their propaganda, and I give below a report of an eye witness from Malaya who illustrates this fact:\n\n\"Just after the evacuation of Penang, two young English women who were living near me, came in one day almost in tears, white and terrified, and said that they had heard that in Penang terrible things had taken place. European women had been stripped naked and raped in the streets, and that several had been sent down insane on the evacuation train and smuggled straight from the trains to ships and sent to Batavia. They said, \"Please tell us if this is true.\" Fortunately, I was able to deny it completely as I had been in the group who met that train, and after all the passengers had been fed etc., I went into every carriage (none of them were locked) to see that no valuables had been left behind. None of the 600 women was in any way ill or collapsed, and no one was concealed anywhere. A Mrs. Harvey of the Salvation Army came to me for rest and recovery from her exhausting experience and had told me that nothing of the kind had occurred.\n\nHowever, one of the two girls had already told her husband who had gone back to the S.S. Volunteer camp and told others. It had shaken him, they said, and other men. I at once told the Special Branch and someone was sent out to deny the story, and I was told, a Sergeant with some sense had already told the men he could get hold of not to believe it.\n\nI am sure the report was part of enemy propaganda because the next day a Chinese was going round Singapore saying that he had escaped from Penang by boat, and that after the occupation the Japanese had restored perfect order and stopped all the trouble. This looks to me very suspicious and \"co-Prosperity\" inspired.\n\nOur own natives, Chinese and Indians, behaved very well as far as I saw, in Penang they had nearly all run away, so in any case the story was suspicious.\" 2.4.1942.\n\nLt.Col.\n\nSenica Osborn\n\nCalcutta\n\n8/0041\n\nNo 290/CENS",

His account is supposed to be now about £200 in debit but no request has been made or is expected for this to be settled, the firm knowing that it will be met after the war and in fact Commander Shepherd has no doubt that they would prefer not to be paid in the present currency of the place. I am taking up separately with Colonel Cole the matter of an allowance for Sir Mark Young.\n\nCommander Shepherd is pretty certain that all those who have gone through the ordeal of internment at Japanese hands for many months will be unfit for any solid work until after a substantial period of convalescence and he is particularly apprehensive that conditions will very greatly deteriorate in the period immediately preceding the final Japanese defeat.\n\nCommander Shepherd will be back in London next week and will be available to come and talk about any matters on which we would like to question him, after studying the annexed despatch.\n\nI think that the Secretary of State would himself be interested to have a few minutes talk with Commander Shepherd about Sir Mark Young, and it would be very much appreciated if he could find the time to do so.\n\nWi Mant\n\nR. late\n\nIt is an important despatch.

        "content_text": "ENCLOSURE No. 2.\n\n69\n\nMOST SECRET.\n\nSIR MARK YOUNG'S REMARKS ON ALLEGED ATROCITIES AT HONG KONG.\n\nSir Mark Young stated that he is not in a position to give any information himself on the alleged atrocities after the surrender of Hong Kong, since he was not allowed to receive any visitors during the seven weeks he was confined in the Peninsular Hotel at Kowloon, nor was he allowed outside the hotel. He has been informed by his soldier servant, Private John Waller of the Middlesex Regiment, that there were some cases of maltreatment of wounded and that he had heard of one case where a man was shot, but not fatally, after surrender; otherwise he said that the treatment was good.\n\nAlthough Sir Mark Young made frequent requests for information about casualties, these requests were ignored and finally refused, together with other requests, such as that he might see members of the Colonial Government, receive warm clothes from Government House, etcetera.\n\nWith reference to an article which appeared in the Japan Times and Advertiser on 14th March, 1942, which said that on being informed by Japanese officials of Mr. Anthony Eden's statement in the House of Commons regarding alleged atrocities at Hong Kong, Sir Mark Young replied that he was \"dumbfounded\" at such baseless reports, Sir Mark Young wishes it made clear that this reply attributed to him is without the slightest foundation in fact. At no time was he approached by Japanese officials in this connection, nor did he make any comment whatsoever on Mr. Eden's statement. He does not, however, consider it desirable that this denial should be given any publicity.",

Such documents will be issued only by the authorities in Hongkong. \n\n4. \n\n3. An explanation of the scope and operation of the new regulations was circulated to H. M. Consuls in China in Embassy Circular to Consuls No. 9 of 29th January 1941, a copy of which has been forwarded to you under my printed letter No. 53. It will be observed that paragraph 7 of this circular authorised His Majesty's Consuls in China to issue visas on Chinese national passports to reputable Chinese valid for a single journey to Hongkong and not including other British territory and transit visas limited to journeys to Chinese territory through Hongkong, without obtaining prior sanction from the Immigration authorities at Hongkong or the sanction of the Passport Control Officer at Shanghai. \n\nThis extension to His Majesty's Consuls in China of authority to grant visas to reputable Chinese at their discretion and without reference to other authorities was originally suggested by His Majesty's Ambassador at Chungking to the Hongkong authorities and in view of the complaints regarding the Hongkong Immigration Ordinance by the Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs - see in particular paragraph 2 (5) of my telegram No. 8 of 6th January 1941 addressed to your predecessor I was reluctant to suggest any measure that would tend to mitigate delay in dealing with applications for visas from reputable Chinese in the more isolated parts of China where reference by His Majesty's Consuls to other authorities before granting a visa for Hongkong might tend to cause serious delay and inconvenience to the applicant. \n\n5. I am, however, aware that, in granting this authority, regarding the issue of visas to Chinese, to His Majesty's Consuls in China I have added to their powers regarding the issue \n\nThe Right Honourable \n\nAnthony Eden, M.

BIT\n\n75\n\n7\n\nSir,\n\nI have given further consideration, in consultation with General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart and the General Officer Commanding the British Military Mission, to the question raised in paragraph 4 of my despatch No. 411 of 12th April and have come to the conclusion that it would be preferable that any officer appointed to provide economic liaison with American Army Headquarters here should be on the strength of the British Military Mission rather than an Assistant Military Attaché.\n\n2. The reasons for this expression of preference arise partly out of local considerations. At present General Hayes is both General Officer Commanding the British Military Mission, and my Military Attaché, but it is in his former capacity that he now tends to deal with American Army Headquarters.\n\nI understand, however, that there is some likelihood that the two appointments will shortly be divorced. If this is the case, it will be most desirable that liaison with Theatre Headquarters on all matters except military intelligence (in which of course my Military Attaché must be closely concerned) be under one control. In any event, if the further proposals set out in my despatch No. 424 of 17th April are carried out, it would seem that the suggested economic liaison officer would naturally and properly be a member of the expanded British Military Mission and the representative of that Mission in Chungking; and there would be every advantage in putting the new officer from the start into that organisation. We hope therefore that this alternative will commend itself to you.\n\nI have etc.,\n\nThe Right Honourable\n\nAnthony Eden, M.C., M.P.,\n\nForeign Office,\n\nLondon, S.W.1.\n\n(Signed)\n\nH.J.

General Olmsted's views, which were first enunciated in a tentative fashion in a conversation with my Military Attaché, are elaborated in the enclosed memorandum of a discussion of the scheme between the General and my Counsellor.\n\n2. You will observe that the project has not yet been cleared with General Wedemeyer (who returned to Chungking on April 10th) but there is, I think, little doubt that it will be approved. Meanwhile, I am favourably impressed with the scheme and suggest that it should receive early and favourable consideration.\n\n3. The most difficult problem may be the selection of a suitable person for the appointment. While it would undoubtedly be possible to appoint a relatively junior and inexperienced man to the job and to allow him to function merely as a sort of post office, I feel that it would be better from every point of view if it were possible to find a man who has had experience in China, especially in Shanghai and/or Hong Kong; his value would be still further increased if he had had practical experience in business or, for instance, banking such as would give him a general insight into the scope and ramifications of British interests in China. If such a person can be found, he should, in our opinion, be given the rank of Colonel or Lieutenant-Colonel, which would give him sufficient seniority to speak with authority. It is difficult to assess what assistance he would need; but I do not think it would be necessary to appoint more than a clerk to his staff in the first instance and until we see how the scheme works out in practice.\n\n4. Any officer appointed to the post would presumably be under either the British Military Mission or my Military Attaché for the purposes of discipline. As his work will be mainly connected with the provision of information about British civilian facilities for the planning sections of the Chinese and American commands, it would seem that his contacts at the London\n\nThe Right Honourable,\n\nAnthony Eden, M.C., M.P.,\n\nForeign Office,\n\nLondon, S.W.1.",

Lloyd's advice \n\nA possible procedure would be that a copy the Report, together with one of the three signed covering letters, should be sent at once by air mail to Sir Mark Young asking for his comment. In order that his views may be quoted in our subsequent approach to the Foreign Office and the Treasury, the Governor has already seen the first draft of the Report and knows the broad outline of the Committee's recommendations. I think that we might reasonably expect a reply by telegram fairly soon. Sir Mark Young made it clear when he attended one of the meetings that if the financial support from H.M.G. recommended by the Committee is not forthcoming, he would not wish to see the alternative proposed by the Committee adopted, but rather that the University should be re-established as a Colonial institution on its pre-war footing. Nevertheless, I think he agreed that it would be a weak case if this view was put to the Treasury, and I think therefore that we might give him a lead by suggesting that although his view is appreciated, we suggest that possibly it would be desirable not to mention it in his reply. If this is agreed, Mr. Lloyd would perhaps very kindly agree to write to Sir M. Young semi-officially in a letter accompanying the Hong Kong telegram and the draft Report.\n\nWhen we have got Sir Mark Young's reactions, the next step might be to suggest that the Secretary of State should write personally to Mr. Bevin, referring to the 1939 correspondence between Mr. Malcolm MacDonald and Mr. Eden and inviting the views of the Foreign Office.\n\n16.7.46.",

Mr. Anthony Eden, M.P., Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,\n\nForeign Office,\n\nLondon.\n\nDear Mr. Eden:\n\nOn your resumption of H.M. Secretaryship for Foreign Affairs, may we, as university professors, offer our congratulations. Under your able leadership, we believe you will do much for Great Britain and for improvement of relations between your country and Free China.\n\nIn this connexion may we point out that there is no benefit whatever in recognizing the Peiping regime by the Labour Government. All indications point to the downfall of Communist rule in China as it is based on mass murders and wholesale plunders. No government in the world can exist for long in pursuing such a bloody and depraved policy.\n\nWe are very glad to note your address in San Francisco in August about the rise of new leadership in South China to replace the present atrocious and murderous rulers. We assume your idea of a new leadership in South China implies the administration by enlightened and efficient officials having the confidence of the people. It is such an administration the United Kingdom should cooperate with; we hope your Government will show out its moral support for such a leadership. It is necessary for free Chinese to know where their British friends stand. At present many Chinese are in a labyrinth as regards Sino-British relations.\n\nAnother pressing problem concerns the many Chinese refugees in Hongkong. There are almost half a million refugees here, presenting a grave situation for the local authorities. To ease the situation, may we suggest that the refugees should be emigrated to other British Colonies such as Borneo where manpower is needed for new developments. Such an emigration is not only humanitarian but serves a good purpose to other places in need of workers for many projects.\n\nThese people are ready and willing to eke out a very simple living anywhere away from Communist China. Now, many are loafing here, while cases of suicide are frequent.\n\nWe trust our suggestions will have your serious consideration. In writing you this letter we are prompted entirely by a strong desire to improve Anglo-Chinese relations and shall be pleased to have your views.\n\nYours respectfully,\n\n(signed) H. C. Liang,\n\nEx-chairman of Board of Directors, Shanghai University, Chungking; Ex-member of Board of Directors, Great China University, Shanghai; Ex-professor, Kuo Min University, Canton.",
