I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief. But they know where their war.dogs le Crowell, Blake, Maribo- rough, Chatham, Nelson, and Wellington are not to be trified with, and the brutal strength which lies of the hottem of society, the animal ferocity of the quays and Cockpits, the builies of the costernongers of Shoreditch, Seven Dials, and Spitalfields, they know how to wake up.

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

        "content_text": "The Hongkong Seligsopii.\n\nHONGKONG, THURSDAY, JULY 21st, 1881.\n\nNEWS for the ENGLISH MAIL.\n\nChinese Emigration to the Australian Colonies via Hongkong, has for a considerable time past caused our Government a great deal of anxiety and trouble. The subject is one of such wide spread importance, affecting the vital interests of so many different communities, and which has raised in Australia so many difficulties between opposing classes, that the greatest possible circumspection on the part of our local government, in carrying out the conditions of the Ordinances regulating Chinese Emigration from Hongkong, has been necessitated.\n\nFrom the days of the infamous coolie traffic up to the present time, the eyes of the many philanthropic societies established in various parts of the world for the purpose of preventing abuses of a similar character, not only to Chinese but to other native races, have been steadfastly fixed on Hongkong as one of the great outlets of China, and it is quite certain that any infringement of, or deviation from the law, either sanctioned or permitted by the Executive of this colony would have called forth remonstrances of a character, from these influential bodies, backed up by public opinion, which no English Government could have ignored.\n\nIt is quite a common practice here, as doubtless it is in other parts of the globe, to write and speak of the Exeter Hall philanthropists in terms of the greatest contempt. Whether the gentlemen who interest themselves so much in the welfare of uncivilised nations deserve such opprobrious treatment is altogether a matter of opinion; but that, in their own way they have done a deal of good is beyond question.\n\nNo right thinking man would defend the now happily defunct Macao coolie trade, although even that abominable traffic in human beings existed for a considerable time, without greatly shocking that portion of the community who were commercially interested in the speculation. What was called the unjust treatment of Messrs. Olyphant & Co. by the Government in the well-known \"Perusia\" business a few years back, caused a great deal of commotion here, and excited much sympathy for that firm. What real grounds existed for that sympathy time has clearly shown.\n\nThere is no doubt whatever that the Nemesis, otherwise the Perusia, was merely the forerunner of what was intended to be a renewal of the coolie slave trade on a large scale, but under another name, between the South of China and the South American Republics. Recent accounts from Peru of the treatment the Chinese in that country have lately experienced vividly recall to mind the very worst days of negro slavery in the Southern States of the American Republic, and give us reason to be thankful that the action of this Government probably prevented thousands upon thousands of Chinese laborers from suffering similar degradation and cruelties; and in many instances a violent death.\n\nThe Chinese emigration from this port to the Australian Colonies resembles in many respects the emigration to San Francisco, and the results to both countries have generally coincided. One great difference, however, must be noted. Emigration to America, according to the laws of that country (vide Sections 2,158 and 2,162 of the Revised Statutes of the United States), is supposed to be free and voluntary in all respects; that to Australia has been tainted to a considerable extent by what is known as the contract system, which, with us in Hongkong under certain conditions, is perfectly legal.\n\nAccording to Mr. Seward, ex-Minister of the United States at Peking, in 1866 a set of regulations regarding contract emigration was drawn up by the British and French Ministers at the Chinese capital, which received the approval of the Chinese Government. These regulations consisted of twenty-two articles, and were meant to insure regularity and fair dealing in the engagement of Chinese under contract in foreign countries. The seventh article which contains the gist of the regulations, reads as follows:-\n\n\"The contracts shall specify;- 1st. The place of destination, and the length of the engagement.\n\nPage 510\nPage 511",

        "content_text": "ing one per cent of Quicklime ceased to grow. Cultivations which had been mixed for more than three hours, even if containing only one-half per cent Quicklime, showed no growth.\n\nFurther experiments with chemicals should have been made, but as my time was extremely limited I had to leave them to a future time.\n\nThe following is a short review of 'The Plague' generally. History shows us that Plague epidemics existed in the 14th century both in Asia and Europe and thousands of human beings perished. Since then from time to time, now here, now there, an epidemic has appeared, and until lately the disease almost seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. This however was not so. In China it has existed to this day, especially in Yunnan, where it occurs every year in an endemic form. From the latter place it was imported to Canton and from Canton for the first known time has reached Hongkong.\n\nThis recent outbreak has given us opportunity for studying this disease—a cause of mystery for centuries—with the means which modern science places in our hands.\n\nThe principal symptoms of the disease now ravaging Hongkong are the following:—After the period of incubation, which lasts from 3 to 5 days (possibly a little longer and some doctors say as long as eight days), the patient complains of high fever and swelling of one or more of the lymphatic glands (Buboes). These swellings may antedate, coincide with, or follow the rise in temperature, and are accompanied by severe pain. The most common gland affected is one of the femoral chain—next an inguinal, next axillary, and sometimes a cervical gland is affected. The tongue is coated with a greyish-white or dark brown heavy fur. There is commonly headache, also delirium; the heart is generally affected; occasionally vomiting and diarrhea are present (not frequently the two last conditions, which are generally forerunners to a fatal issue).\n\nIn patients who survive the onset of the disease the temperature does not fall until a week has passed, and convalescence is a slow process.\n\nSex and age make no difference in the disease; men and women, infants and old people are attacked equally.\n\nIf in such a case as described, the blood be examined, the before-described Bacilli, in greater or lesser numbers, will be found present. (In 30 patients I obtained 25 positive results, and two of my subjects which were without Bacilli were subsequently proved not to be suffering from the plague at all.)\n\nAs indicated before, it is not always an easy matter to demonstrate the presence of the Bacilli directly in the blood of many patients—they are present sometimes in such small numerical strength that only after examining several slides can they be discovered. In order to be safe, not only must the blood of a suspected plague patient be examined, but a cultivation should also be made.\n\nIn the buboes the Bacilli always occur in the form of pure cultivations, but it is obviously not always easy to procure a specimen of bubo-contents from the living subject.\n\nThe question arises,—\"Is it possible to make a diagnosis of Bubonic Plague from examination of the blood of the suspect?\" In many cases, Yes! But a good deal of bacteriological practice is required or such diagnosis is impossible.\n\nIt is a well-known fact that so far, amongst infectious diseases produced by bacilli, only two micro-organisms have hitherto been found in human blood, viz., the bacillus of anthrax and the spirochætæ of relapsing fever (we do not include the plasmodia of malaria). Here in the blood of human beings suffering from bubonic plague we have a new bacillus possessing the following qualities:—\n\n1st. This Bacillus occurs in the blood, in buboes, and in the internal organs of the plague-stricken ONLY.\n\n606",

It is probable, however, that Yun Sik man's request is only the forerunner of other applications of a similar kind, and as there is a divergence of opinion as to the rights of His Majesty's Government under the Convention, notably in Mirs. Bay and Deep Bay, it seems desirable that an authoritative decision should be obtained for the guidance of the Government of Hongkong.\n\n3.

It does not seem necessary to refer this to the Com.. Fr. Chatham, D.F... told me he knew nothing against Judson, and there is obviously nothing against him.\n\nThe Colony has done him a great deal of harm by a carelessly and inconsiderately worded report to the C.A., which they in turn communicated to Messrs. Singer. Of course Hudson may not wish to accept employment in H.K. on the terms that may be available but that is for him to judge.\n\nAs to the general question, I remain of the opinion expressed on 57748. Col. Govts. frequently say hasty or ill-considered things about a man who has left their employment, and to communicate what they say to would-be employers may preclude an unsatisfactory ex-Govt. servant from earning a livelihood at all. When a man has a good record given to him by the Col. Govt. as in this case, the C.A. should add nothing to it. When he has no statement of service, the C.A. should not report unfavourably without reference to us.\n\nI kept this in order to take the minutes on the journal question which I have just dealt with Art Collais and this case.\n\n2.

He replied that he was similarly authorised by his Government,\n\nWe then told him that there were three general principles which we wished settled in the first instance, as upon them the whole working agreement depended, viz., the question of joint management, the question of connection with the Hankow-Canton line, and the division of profits. We then communicated to him the gist of (a) paragraphs 2-7 and 26; (b) paragraph 28; and (c) paragraph 17 seqq. of the draft working agreement. Mr. Wei then said that he must refer these general principles to Peking, and asked for leave to do so by telegram, saying that, although he was authorised to conclude the agreement, it was necessary for him to submit matters of principle to Peking for approval in the first instance. He added that he considered our proposals under these three heads very fair and reasonable, and that from a business point of view he had no objection to make to them. I gathered that he would recommend them for favourable consideration to Peking. He was entirely in favour of connection with the Hankow line being made at an early date. The only question he asked was whether we should be prepared to consider the possibility of managing the two sections separately. To this we replied that we hoped it would be unnecessary for us to discuss such a possibility, as, after much consideration, we had concluded that, the line being so short, separate management of the two sections would be uneconomical and unbusinesslike. Mr. Wei concurred in this view.\n\nThroughout the discussion Mr. Wei made no mention of the Canton Government, but referred only to the central Government at Peking.\n\nAt parting we gave Mr. Wei a very short note of the three principles discussed.\n\nMr. Wei emphatically stated that the connection between the Canton-Kowloon Railway and the Hankow-Canton Railway was looked on as a settled conclusion; the only point remaining to be settled was as to whether the Canton-Kowloon Railway or the Hankow-Canton Railway were to make the connection.\n\nC.

Sir,\n\nPeking, July 22, 1910. WITH reference to my despatch No. 185 of the 6th June, I have the honour to transmit herewith a translation of an Imperial decree of the 27th June, in which the Prince Regent for a second time refuses to accede to the request of the delegates from the provincial assemblies for the earlier opening of Parliament.\n\nIt will be remembered that on the 14th October, 1909, the first day of the ninth moon, the provincial assemblies met and continued their deliberations until the 23rd November. Before they adjourned, there would appear to have arisen more or less spontaneously amongst them a keen desire to see a national Parliament in existence before 1917, the year stipulated by Imperial decree, and a scheme to give expression to the general wish was proposed by the Chihli Assembly. In accordance with that proposal delegates from fifteen provinces met in Shanghai, and selected from their number a strong committee to proceed to Peking, and to submit the request of the assemblies to the Throne.\n\nDuring January last these delegates approached the leading officials of the capital, in the hope of persuading them to support their cause. On the whole, the majority of the high officials in Peking were against the proposal, and those who did In these express themselves in favour of it were careful to do so with reservations. circumstances, it was not a matter for surprise that the Prince Regent decided to reject the request of the delegates. He accordingly issued on the 30th January a decree in which, though refusing the request, he displayed a certain amount of solicitude for the feelings of the delegates, and commended them for their sincerity, but, at the same time, he told them firmly that the Government saw no reason to depart from their original intention of carrying out the programme already drawn up, which included the opening of the Parliament in 1917. This decree further pointed out that the country in general was not yet ready for a national assembly, and that until the period of preparation was complete it would not be wise policy to open Parliament. The delegates were also reminded that the Senate would meet early in October, and that this body would constitute the forerunner of a Parliament.\n\nThe delegates, however, were in no way deterred by the rejection of their petition, but, on the contrary, continued their campaign with unabated vigour, and, remaining in Peking, proceeded to present another petition to the Throne early in June, which elicited in reply thereto the decree of the 27th June, which forms the enclosure in this despatch.\n\nAfter the issue of this decree, and in spite of the sentence prohibiting the presentation of any further petitions, the delegates announced their intention of still remaining in Peking to pursue the question further, but owing to the strict measures taken by the Government to control their movements by posting detectives to watch them, all, except six, it is said, have now left the capital. It is stated, however, that they intend, as soon as the provincial assemblies are opened, to present a third petition to the Prince Regent. If it should be again refused, it has been suggested that the delegates should all refuse to pay Government duties or taxes.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nW. G. MAX MÜLLER,\n\n[2862 4-1]",

        "content_text": "# CANADA AND INDIA\n\n## AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION\n\nThe Toronto Globe published recently some interesting letters which help to throw some light on the Hindu question in Canada. \"Orillian\" in its columns makes the suggestion: \"Why sacrifice the lives of thousands more of Canadians, the best citizens in the British Empire, instead of accepting, say, five millions Hindus, who are good British subjects, but not so valuable to the Empire as are our Canadians.\" To this another correspondent of that paper writes: \"His idea that Britain should draw a million or two Hindus instead of calling upon Canadians for the ignoble reason he advances is one that will be repugnant to all Canadians.\" Whilst \"A Man\" writes in another letter: \"Hindus offer their lives, which are just as dear to them as his to the Orillian, to help the Empire in this great struggle, irrespective of several harsh treatments they received at Vancouver some time ago.\"\n\n## THE FRIENDS AND THE HINDUS\n\nThe Canada half-yearly meeting of Friends, held at Newmarket, Ont., Sept. 27th, 1915, passed the following resolution unanimously: \n\"The question of the Hindustanis in British Columbia having been at this time considered in our half-yearly conference, and it appealing to us that they live under disabilities which are unjust, we are united in asking the Government of Canada to make timely regulations that will facilitate the entry into Canada of the wives and children of these British subjects resident in Canada and thus restore to them the privileges of home life. We ask this in the interests, we believe, of morality and Christian civilization and a united Empire. We understand the majority of the East Indians in Canada are Sikhs, whose religion teaches the inwardness of God's revelation, the unity of mankind, the equality of the sexes, education for girls, monogamy, physical and moral purity, and the avoidance of Idol worship, superstition, caste exclusiveness, and the use of spirituous liquors.\n\n\"The regulation requiring continuous passage of Asiatic immigrants operates to discriminate against these people, understanding that while the conditions of travel permit the Japanese and Chinese to easily comply therewith, it is practically impossible for women of India to do so and not run the risk of deportation.\n\n\"In this strenuous moment of national difficulty, we would ask only for a simple regulation that will speedily recognize this claim of humanity and social order in behalf of these people and of Justice.\n\n\"Directed to be signed by the clerks this 27th day of the ninth month, 1915, and forwarded to the Hon. the Secretary of State and Sir Robert Borden, Prime Minister in the Government of Canada, for and on behalf of Canada Half-yearly Meeting of Friends.\"\n\nIn connection with this, we have to thank Mr. William Greenwood Brown and other friends who held a large meeting where he and others spoke regarding this movement.\n\n## CANADA INDIA COMMITTEE\n\nWithin the last few months, there has been formed in Toronto the Canada India Committee. The following extracts from the published syllabus state briefly the outlook and purposes which have called it into existence:\n\nA few individuals have formed the Canada India Committee for the furtherance of two objects, which in their opinion are of vital importance to India, to Canada, and to the British Empire. The objects are:\n\n(a) To promote a wider appreciation of Canada's relation to India.\n\n(b) To secure its equitable adjustment.\n\nThe first is of a general educational character, designed to remove certain prejudices on the part of the citizens of both India and Canada. The second will develop a series of practical campaigns to remove certain injustices imposed on the people of India resident in Canada.\n\nThe committee's motives are based on the fundamental **RIGHTS OF MAN** and the principles of Christianity, professed by all the Western peoples, without regard to political, sectarian, or personal aims.\n\nThe Committee:\n\n(1) ACCEPTS, as involving a high moral obligation, the great pledge given the people of India in 1858 by Queen Victoria and subsequently confirmed by King Edward and King George, which proclaimed: \n\"We hold ourselves bound to the natives of our Indian territories by the same obligations of duty which bind us to all our other subjects,\nMay the God of all power grant to us and those in authority under us strength to carry out these,\"\n\n(2) DECLARES in consequence the necessity of Canadian laws which will prevent discrimination against British Indians, whilst maintaining the established economic policy of the country.\n\n(3) INVITES the aid of all persons and organizations actuated by the above motives, in securing the successful outcome of the committee's objects.\n\nThe committee realizes that unaided it would be powerless to create a great wave of popular protest which will induce the Government to provide simple justice to our fellow British subjects, therefore, the committee invites the co-operation and support of all religious and missionary bodies, the social, fraternal, and patriotic societies, and the press of Canada; in fact, the aid of any group is welcomed that will work for the **CAUSE** itself regardless of personal advantage.\n\n## WORK OF THE COMMITTEE\n\nA sympathizer writes about the committee in the Friends' Intelligencer: \"It is the forerunner of a movement that should surely succeed in removing the blot upon Christianity and civil government associated with the domestic disabilities under which the Sikhs in Canada and their families in India exist. The wives and children are practically forbidden to live in Canada.\n\n\"While inopportune to enter upon the broad question of political rights, and the economic considerations involved in their status on the Pacific Coast, the inhumanity, as it appears to us, the claims of morality, justice, and right relations within and without the British Empire call for immediate correction.\n\n\"To those interested in missionary enterprise, this travesty upon Christian brotherhood on professed Christian soil is a serious handicap. To those not self-centred or indifferent to the march of events and world vision, it must be apparent that every people, individually or in groups, national or less, affects all other peoples, and by them is affected in return.\"\n\n\"A Syllabus of Its Objects, Principles, and Procedure,\" issued by the Canada India Committee, and other literature may be had by writing to the Secretary, Dr. L. A. Davis, 68 Tranby Avenue, Toronto, Canada.\n\n## GREAT BRITAIN\n\n### AFTER THE WAR\n\nAt a meeting of the Royal Colonial Institute, Sir John McCall, the Agent-General for Tasmania, said: \"For the first time in the history of our widespread Empire, men from all parts are taking a share in the war, and one gathers from general conversations that there has been a strongly expressed feeling that the whole Empire should have a say in the making of war as well as the making of peace. How can this union be secured without putting too tight a rein on young democratic Dominions? Moreover, there are certain countries practically within the Empire which do not rank as Dominions, but which to my mind should be consulted before any final decision as to Imperial union is decided upon—I mean India and Egypt.\n\n\"My proposal is that a convention be called together by the King or the Imperial Government at the time of the next Imperial Premiers' Conference, and that those to be invited to attend the convention should be, in addition to representatives of each important party in the Parliament of this country, the Prime Minister and leaders of the Opposition of the Dominions' Parliaments, together with two others to be selected by them each from his own party, and a representative from each party in the Senate, the Premiers, and leaders of the Opposition in each State and Provincial Parliament: a representative from each Crown colony, together with such representatives of India and Egypt as may be decided upon by the Indian and Colonial Offices in conjunction with the Council of India and other Councils interested.\"\n\nSir Charles Lucas, the Permanent Under Secretary of State at the Colonial Office said: \"If you gave two representatives on this commission to each of the self-governing Dominions and two to India and had three for the United Kingdom, including the chairman, you would have fifteen. Assuming that a convention is recommended and called together, its work would be to draft a scheme for a future organization of the Empire. That scheme would be sent out and all the Legislatures would sit in judgment upon it. This will take time, but that in my opinion is an advantage.\"\n\n### PREMIER BORDEN ON HINDUS\n\n*India* (London, Eng.) says: \"We do not know what Sir Robert Borden is going to do with the Indian grievance in Canada when the war is over; but he certainly does not forget India, as some English politicians do, in the public speeches which he has been making during his visit to London. Last week he was entertained at luncheon at the House of Commons by the Empire Parliamentary Association. Mr. Balfour and Mr. Bonar Law were both present; and in responding to the toast of 'Canada and the War,' Sir Robert Borden said: 'Last autumn, in speaking before a Canadian club in the West of Canada, he said that if the war continued for a year it was reasonably probable that the overseas Dominions would have in the field 250,000 men. He ventured to think that to-day, if they estimated what Australia had done and was doing—what New Zealand had done and was doing—what South Africa had done and was doing—what India had done and was doing—the overseas Dominions of the Empire had in the field or in training, as organized troops, no less than 350,000 men.'\"\n\nPage 630\n\n## CANADA AND INDIA\n\n### AN EMPIRE DAY CIRCULAR\n\nThe British Empire of to-morrow will be made by its children of to-day. What then can be of more importance than the ideals which are placed before them? That the London County Council has realized this is shown by a printed circular which was issued for use in the elementary schools in London on the occasion of this year's celebration of Empire Day. Its tone and purpose are evident in the following extracts: The response of the Empire, so immediate and complete, has moved to admiration those who awaited it with confidence, and astonished those who doubted of the reality of Imperial Unity... As scattered particles of steel respond to the magnet, as a solution, shapeless and unordered, resolves itself at the right touch into beautiful forms, true to type and loyal to some mysterious force, so has the Empire responded to the touch of necessity. Never before has the world witnessed so calm, so splendid, so unrehearsed a pageant as is presented by the rally of the Empire to-day.\n\n### THE RESPONSE OF INDIA\n\nMost touching and dramatic of all has been the response of India. For here are no subtleties of kinship, no bonds of a common tongue or a common faith, no traditions of our island race. Sikhs from the Punjab and Pathans from the north-western hills, martial Rajputs and tireless Gurkhas, men from the Khyber and Chitral tribes, have united in unswerving loyalty and enthusiastic devotion to the King-Emperor.\n\nThe proudest princes have volunteered for active service, and are to-day with their men on the battlefield, headed by chivalrous Sir Pratap Singh, who at seventy years of age claimed leadership. A far-reaching fellowship of race and spirit has been created, and Christianity has found some answer in the creeds of Islam, Buddha, and Brahma.\n\n### THE TIE THAT BINDS\n\nThe Mother Country is still the heart of the Empire. Love has ever been a stronger bond of union than force. The word Empire first appears in English history in a statute of Henry VIII., and there it denotes not domination, but spiritual and temporal independence. \"It may fairly be stated,\" says Sir Charles Lucas, \"that at the present day British Empire connotes British liberty.\"\n\nTo freedom may be added justice in administration and loyalty to the pledged word; tolerance whenever possible of customs and modes of life, and, not least, reverence for other faiths. There is, too, in increasing measure, a humanitarian aspect of the spirit.\n\nWhat of the future? None dare predict, but all may feel that, because of to-day, to-morrow can never be again as yesterday. The British Empire is becoming a federation of free peoples, organic and not mechanical in its growth; a federation based on community of interests, finding unity in consent and strength in diversity.\n\n### SIR GEORGE PAISH ON HINDU IMMIGRATION\n\nWriting about Hindu Immigration to Canada, Sir George Paish, the eminent authority on finance, said in the London *Statist*: \"Remembering that the population of India amounts to 315,000,000 of human beings; that it is sunk in abject poverty; and that nobody who takes the trouble to enquire can doubt that it would be an immense help to India if there should be a large and successful emigration. We had hoped for broader views, for more prescience, and for a truer Imperial spirit on the part of the people of Canada. They themselves are all settlers from foreign lands, or the descendants of such settlers. We had fondly hoped that, knowing all this, they would recognize the consequent (Imperial) obligation upon them. We have been disappointed.\"\n\nAt a recent meeting of the General Board of Social Service and Evangelism of the Methodist Church, discussion took place as to the advisability of asking the powers that be to allow the families of the Sikhs domiciled in the Dominion to enter Canada. Dr. Watson spoke of the apparent unfairness that British subjects should be thus debarred.\n\nSir Reginald Craddock will lay on the table of the Imperial Legislative Council a statement showing the number of colonials employed in Government service in British India, in reply to a question by the Hon. Mr. Surendra Nath Bannerjea, of Calcutta.\n\nCapt. Mellish at the Anglican Synod, held here last month, speaking of the Hindus on the Pacific Coast, said they have been treated miserably. \"If we treated the Hindus rightly, we would find them splendid citizens.\" He felt that the recent immigration trouble on the coast was badly managed.\n\nRepresentative periodicals published in India are: \"*The Modern Review*,\" a monthly English magazine, issued from 210 Cornwallis Street, Calcutta, India. Enclose 15 cent stamps for a specimen copy.\n\"*The Bengalee*,\" an English daily, printed in Calcutta, India.\n\n## INDIA\n\nThou who dost charm the heart of all the world, \nThou land gleaming with the golden glory of the sun, \nThou mother of our fathers and mothers, \nThe soles of whose feet are washed by the waters of the blue sea, \nWhose green skirts are fluttered by the breeze, \nWhose forehead, the Himalayas, is kissed by the skies, \nWho wearest the diamond diadem of the snows; \nIt was in thy firmament that the first day dawned, \nIt was in thy hermitages that the first hymns were sung. \nWords of wisdom, religion, poetry, history, first \nWere preached in thy forest temples. \nThou art blessed, the eternal dispenser of good; \nThou dost distribute food from land to land. \nThe Ganges and the Jumna are the milk of mercy flowing from thy breasts.\n—Rabindranath Tagore.\n\n### THE INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS\n\nThe response of India in this crisis of the Empire has been so spontaneous that an account of the Nationalist movement in India may be of some interest. It was after the Government of India was taken over by the people of Britain from the hands of a mere trading corporation that real interest was manifested in India's affairs. The terrible days of the Mutiny were over, and soon after that the late Queen Victoria issued the famous proclamation giving certain rights to the people of India, amongst which it said: \"We hold ourselves bound to the natives of our Indian territories by the same obligations of duty which bind us to all our other subjects.\" This in India is truly called the Magna Charta, for by this the rights of Hindu subjects of the Crown are duly recognized. It is not a mere \"scrap of paper.\"\n\n### EARLY HISTORY OF THE REFORMERS\n\nFollowing the days of racial conflict, passions rose high, and that, too, in a country where the racial question is always more or less acute. It took nearly a generation for the Indians to adjust themselves to the new conditions. Raja Ram Mohun Roy, the great reformer, who early in the last century went over to England to represent India's cause, and who did so much for reforms, political, social, and religious, died in England. It was late in the seventies that the famous leader, Keshub Chunder Sen, accompanied by some students, paid a visit to England. He was cordially received, and three of these students, Romesh Chunder Dutt, Surendro Nath Banerjea, and Krishna Govinda Gupta, rose high in the service of the Motherland.\n\nBut it was in 1884, when the works of these great leaders and of the Swami Dayanand Saraswati, who preached pure Hinduism from one corner of India to the other and founded the Arya Samaj, that steps were taken to organize India politically. Up to that time, the people had not much to say in the administration of their own country. Their voice, if heard at all, was ignored. The bureaucracy in India was a law unto itself, and it was the famous Ilbert Bill controversy which set the ball rolling.\n\nHindus who had received education in the best colleges and universities of the West and the East, learned in law, medicine, business, and other professions, got together and formulated plans to have their opinions heard. The condition in India was like that of Canada in 1837 when, under the leadership of William Lyon Mackenzie in Upper Canada and Papineau in Lower Canada, the people of the then Canada asked for primary rights of self-government, and it was not till Lord Durham came out to Canada as Governor-General and sent his famous despatch that Canada really got what she wanted. The full result of this act received its final consummation in the Confederation of Canada in 1867, granting Provincial autonomy to the various Provinces.\n\n### THE FIRST CONGRESS IN BOMBAY\n\nIn India, things were very similar. The foreign bureaucracy was well entrenched. It scoffed at this microscopic minority in India who asked for their just rights. This great movement, known afterwards in world history as the Indian National Congress, met for the first time in Bombay in December, 1885. There were representatives from all parts of India, great scholars, judges, lawyers, and editors. Mr. W. C. Bannerji, a well-known barrister-at-law of Calcutta, presided. At this day, when a learned Indian is sworn of His Majesty's Privy Council in England, whilst there are two Indians in the Council of the Secretary of State for India in London, and another a judge of the Madras High Court, who has been recently appointed the Minister of Education for India, it seems the beginning of the Congress was auspicious. These were modest men, but they, on behalf of the people of India, asked the primary rights of citizenship granted in India's Magna Charta. India's service to humanity in matters spiritual is recognized over the wide world, but the desire of her sons to make her a nation, which she is geographically as well as racially and otherwise, was very disconcerting to the official class.",

Steam Nawig = \n\n**CHINESE PIRACY**\n\nAs I have said, the trade with China has been seriously interfered with by the continuance of civil and Bolshevist war in that country, and it is wonderful how the British and Chinese mercantile community, acting in a friendly way together as they have always done, have been able to carry on.\n\nBut the days of piracy in the China seas are by no means ended, judging from a letter I received the other day from Hong-kong, which I will venture to read to you:\n\n\"After an interval of many months the activities of South China pirates have been resumed with an attack, which met with the usual success, on a Japanese steamer, Deli Maru, belonging to the Osaka Shosen Kaisha.\n\n\"The vessel was on a voyage from Takao, Formosa, to Hong-kong with nine Japanese officers, 62 Chinese crew, two first-class passengers, and 124 Chinese deck passengers, mostly emigrants returning home from Formosa. She called at Swatow on September 20, where the pirates are said to have embarked in the guise of passengers, and in the early hours of the following morning the Indian guards on duty were shot down without warning and the officers and wireless operator held up with automatic pistols. After robbing the passengers and officers of money and jewellery said to value altogether about $18,000, the captain was ordered to navigate the ship to Hong-hai Bay, which is close to Bias Bay, the usual pirate rendezvous, where the gang landed in the ship's boats, taking with them four of the passengers to be held for ransom.\n\nThe cargo was not touched.\n\n\"The Japanese Consul-General reported the incident to his Government, but whether anything in the nature of reprisals is contemplated is not known.”\n\n## ATTEMPTS ON BRITISH SHIPPING\n\nThe attack seems to have been a forerunner of renewed attempts on British shipping in those waters, judging by a report in the papers yesterday, but it will perhaps serve as a salutary reminder that none of the present precautions can safely be relaxed, and I trust the occurrence may result in a change of attitude on the part of the British authorities who announced in April of this year that the provision of naval and military guards would cease on April 1, 1930.\n\nMy correspondent adds that a curious feature of the affair was that the pirates were led by a nice-looking young woman about 20 years of age. I wonder if the lady, in some way or other, was a descendant of my reputed ancestor, Ralph the Rover, who sank the bell on the Inchcape rock ?

In our opinion, if the Quota System were applied to Hongkong, much trade which would otherwise pass through Hongkong, would be diverted elsewhere.\n\nTrade Commissioner.\n\n1\n\nWater.\n\nDuring the past year, the Colony has again been restricted in its water supply, although we have been fortunate. We have noted with satisfaction that this Colony has so far been excluded from the Empire Quota System. We thank Your Excellency for the consideration you have given to our interests in this respect. The matter is of vital importance to this Colony.\n\nOn the 29th November, 1895, the Right Honourable Sir Joseph Chamberlain, when writing to His Excellency Sir William Robinson, then Governor of this Colony, said: \"I am aware that the trade of the Colony under your Government is of a special character.\" Mr. H. K. Holmes, C.B.E., is also shortly leaving us. He comes of an old Hongkong family, whose connections are bound up with the history of this Colony.\n\nWe note, with pleasure, that substantial progress has been made with the Shing Mun Dam, and we shall be glad to know when the Colony may expect to receive water from that source of supply.\n\nThe Tytam Tuk Catch-water, which includes the Dragon Back Catchment area, will substantially augment the water supply of the Colony, and we are glad to see that the scheme will be completed in 1935.\n\nOrdinances and Regulations.\n\nThe last revision of our Ordinances was in 1923, since when a mass of legislation, both new, or by way of amendment, has been passed. For the assistance and guidance of all who are connected with, or have occasion to refer to, the Laws of this Colony, a new revision should now be taken in hand.\n\nThe 12-inch pipe line across the harbour was always understood to be a forerunner of another, and bigger, pipe. We are glad to note that the second pipe, being an 18-inch pipe, will be ready for use next April.\n\nEconomic Commission.\n\nOwing to the prevailing depression, Your Excellency has seen fit to appoint an Economic Commission to enquire into the causes of the depression and make recommendations as to the future. We have every confidence in this Commission.\n\nOur Statistical Department seems to be doing good work, and there appears to be an excellent demand for our monthly and annual returns.\n\nPublic Works Extraordinary.\n\nWe congratulate both Your Excellency, and the Honourable Colonial Treasurer, on the success of the New $25,000,000 Loan, of which $14,000,000 was floated in July last.\n\nThe Superintendent of Imports and Exports has been very active in his prosecutions recently, and whilst we appreciate the necessity for reliable statistics, we hope he will exercise some discretion in favour of those who are less neglectful than others.\n\nStatistics.\n\nIt would be happier if those returns showed a more prosperous state of affairs in the Colony than they do.\n\nOpium.\n\nThe falling off in the sales of opium is unfortunate, but not to be deplored if it were not for the fact that the policy of high-priced opium inevitably increases smuggling.\n\nBribes.\n\nIn the Report of the Superintendent of Imports and Exports for the year 1933, (Appendix E. Sub-Appendix III, page 31) there appears an item \"(2) Fees paid to Chinese Police or Revenue Officers of Police\" with individual payments from 30 cents up to $3. The fact that such an item appears as an ordinary entry in a trader's books, is a matter for the greatest regret.\n\nRetiring Government Servants.\n\nWe learn with deep regret of the impending retirement of the Honourable Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe, C.M.G., who has for so many years honourably served the Colony, in many capacities.\n\nGovernment Loan.\n\nThe recent offer of Debentures by one of our leading Land Companies is a step in the right direction, and should have the effect of getting more money into circulation.\n\nWe notice that there are to be two new markets in the Island, and two at Kowloon. We believe that an increase in the number of markets will have the effect of keeping down the cost of living.\n\nOn works of this nature, we cannot stress too strongly the desirability of creating temporary Government posts, without liability for pension, or necessity to contribute to the Widows and Orphans Pension Fund.",

        "content_text": "HONGKONG SUNDAY HERALD, 3rd MARCH, 1935.\n\nCommercial Venture\n\nBecause of the lack of funds, and the fact that the work is to be done voluntarily, the organisation of a fair has been a challenge. Two Empire Fairs have already been held in the past in commemoration of Empire Day. They were held on a non-commercial basis initially, but it is now planned to run this Fair on purely commercial lines.\n\nA great deal of work is entailed, and finance will be required, as those who have read about Fairs, or been to them, will readily appreciate. It is not the object of the organisers to make profits out of this Fair, but to provide a great British Advertising Agency in the Far East. Amusement caterers of all kinds will also reap a harvest.\n\nAdvantageous Effects\n\nOne has only to turn to the history of the last 80 years to see what Industrial Fairs and Exhibitions have meant to Europe and America. They have been the big Exhibitions, and they are to the manufacturing and distributing centres of to-day what the market town is to the rural area.\n\nSince the Prince Consort organised the Great Exhibition in 1854, at Hyde Park, the movement has grown steadily. One calls to mind the White City Exhibition, the Wembley Exhibition, the recent French Colonial Exhibition at Paris, and the Chicago World Fair. Olympia is, to all intents and purposes, London's permanent Fair and Exhibition.\n\nPlans Now Available\n\nFurther details of this project will appear in due course. Plans of the Building showing full details of sections allocated to the various parts of the Empire and China, sizes of stalls and charges, are now ready and can be had by application to the organisers, The Advertising and Publicity Bureau, Ltd. (China and Malaya), whose Head Office is in St. George's Building, Hong Kong, entrance from Chater Road.\n\nThe Personal Touch\n\nBusiness with China is to be had, but it has to be searched for, and enterprising competitors are getting in touch with the Chinese buyer and seeking to meet his requirements.\n\nIt seems that sooner or later there must be a big permanent Trade Fair in South China. The organisation of Chinese trade on modern lines makes this necessary, and it is the aim of the organisers to make this Fair the forerunner of a regular event.\n\nNothing will do more to engage the interest of the Chinese and British buyers than a Fair in an attractive centre like Hong Kong. Instead of buying by correspondence, or on a traveller's visit, they will be able to come and see what each other has to offer, to compare prices and quality, and to get in personal touch with each other.\n\nThis Fair will be modelled on the British Industries Fair held in England every year, and will therefore follow the most up-to-date lines. Not only samples and the usual stall exhibits will be shown, but also films, models, and appropriate catalogues and literature will be distributed. A feature of the arrangements will be a special Interpretation Service for Chinese visitors, and conferences and addresses will be specially arranged.\n\nOutside Amusements\n\nMoreover, as customary at all Fairs, every effort will be made to provide the usual outside amusements and attractions for leisure hours, thus enabling both Chinese and foreign visitors to combine business and pleasure.\n\nNational S. China Market\n\nHong Kong is the great meeting place of the two currents of trade, and the natural \"exchange and mart of South China.\" It is the financial and distributing centre, and, above all, it is the deep sea port for South China. Ocean-going ships call here to meet the junks and steamers from the Delta Towns and the West River.\n\nA most important Railway in South China has its terminus in the Colony, and thus the whole transport system, by water, and by rail, converges upon Hong Kong.\n\nThis prosperous, beautiful, and well-governed Colony is, therefore, the natural setting for a big Industrial Fair.\n\nThe organisers have secured the support of some prominent leading men in the Colony, who have accepted an invitation to sit on an Advisory Committee comprised of sixteen people. The organisers also hope to form a Grand Council of Patronage of the leading personalities and captains of industry in Hong Kong, whose sympathy and support they hope to enlist.\n\nIt is hoped that the Firms of Hong Kong will co-operate in making the Fair a permanent asset of increasing value to themselves, to China, to the Colony, and to the British Empire.",

Previous applications for tickets (which will be supplied to medical practitioners only) should be made in writing to the Hon.

Wormald, Mental Health Service executive officer.\n\nOver four out of every thousand persons of the population are, he pointed out, already certified under the Mental Deficiency Acts, not including feeble-minded children in special schools under the Education Committee, and at least two thousand mental deficients who have not been reported to the local authority.\n\nThe number of deficients and the sub-intelligent section of the population is increasing out of all proportion to the normal population.\n\n\"The population of Leeds is being replenished from its least intelligent stock. The annual report of the Mental Health Services Committee states that the feeble-minded person not provided with control or supervision is a social harbinger of crime, immorality, and chronic pauperism.\n\n\"It also points out that the increase of national defence is a sure forerunner burden of expenditure on the public and intensifies the social problems of the city.\"\n\nPlease secure more new and active members, and please note that we still want subscriptions to be sent to the Treasurer or Secretary at 108, Whitfield Street, W.1.\n\nH.

        "content_text": "# \n\n## \n\n365. Lord Barnby, leader of the Economic Mission to Japan in 1934, who urged that faith should still be reposed in Japanese assurances, was warmly praised in the Japanese papers for his sincerity. It was such a man, they said, who should be sent to Tokyo as British Ambassador.\n\n## Attacks on the Ambassador\n\n366. The Kokumin, the most reactionary of the Japanese papers, has been carrying on a ridiculous personal attack on His Majesty's Ambassador, stating that he did not understand the Japanese point of view, and urging his immediate recall. Little attention was paid to these articles, and many Japanese appeared to regret this rude attack on a foreign envoy.\n\n## Interview with Minister for Foreign Affairs\n\n367. On the 8th December and on the 26th December, Mr. Arita received the British and American Ambassadors (although not together) to continue what he describes as \"free talks,\" elucidating and clarifying Japan's policies. On each occasion, the press obtained advance information of the dates and details as to the talks themselves, which could only have come from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. These leakages are absurdly common, and the resulting publicity is often harmful.\n\n## Violation of Hong Kong Territory by Japanese Troops\n\n368. On the 26th November, a few Japanese soldiers, engaged in clearing the territory north of Kowloon of Chinese soldiers, crossed the border into British territory. Representations were made at Tokyo. Further representations made at Tokyo when the Japanese announced their intention of capturing Shataukok, a village on the border between British and Chinese territory, resulted in the projected attack being abandoned.\n\n369. Contact between the British and Japanese military authorities was established at Chumehun on the 29th November, when the Japanese made ample apologies for their violation of British territory on the 26th November. Some shells had fallen in British territory, and there were a few casualties among both British subjects and Chinese.\n\n## Germany\n\n370. A huge German plane arrived at the Tachikawa aerodrome near Tokyo on the evening of the 30th November, having completed the trip from Berlin in forty-six hours. For five days, the members of the crew had to undergo continuous celebrations. The German Ambassador said that he hoped the Condor's achievement would be the forerunner of the establishment of a regular air service between Germany and Japan. The Foreign Minister said that the flight testified to the prestige of German aviation and the excellent technique and high efficiency of the plane. The Yomiuri remarked that \"the amazing success of the German Condor plane symbolises the wonderful vigour of the rising German nation.\" The members of the crew, in the numerous speeches they had to make, emphasised the reliability of the machine, even if two out of the four engines broke down. The plane could continue on the remaining two. The Japan Air Transport Company ordered five Condor planes from the Focke-Wulf Company, to be paid for, in the country's present straitened finances, with soya beans. Meanwhile, the Italians, whose goodwill plane had broken down at Beirut a few days previously, must have looked on with envy at all the flag-waving and speech-making.\n\n371. The Condor fell into the sea, however, shortly before reaching Manila on its homeward journey. The plane may have been able to fly with two engines, but it had a single petrol feed, and when a blockage occurred, there was nothing for it but to try to make a forced landing. Nobody was drowned or even hurt. The plane was raised from the sea-bed a few days later, full of sand and in two pieces. The crew and what remained of the plane were shipped home to Germany.\n\n## Italy\n\n372. Italy carries on her propagandist activities, somewhat ineffectually when one compares them with the splash which the Germans always contrive to make, even when their goodwill planes fall into the sea.\n\n373. The Japan-Italian Institute arranges for the exchange of artistic treasures. The Japan-Italian Cultural Institute erects a miniature Japanese castle at Venice. And so on.\n\n## U.S.S.R.\n\n374. One would think that the U.S.S.R. and Japan, no matter how strained their relations, would at any rate have an efficient diplomatic liaison. There is, however, no ambassador here. The last two ambassadors are both thought to have been liquidated. The present chargé d'affaires, a professor of ichthyology, speaks little but Russian and is seldom seen.\n\n375. Soviet-Japanese relations have become very strained of late over the fisheries question. The Russians refuse to renew some valuable fishing leases off the Siberian coast until Manchukuo has paid off her debt on the Chinese Eastern Railway. The Japanese, who are behaving somewhat truculently and have declared their resolution to go on fishing, treaty or no treaty, have till now taken the somewhat childish line that the question of the debt is one for Manchukuo, not Japan, to decide.\n\n376. An impasse seems to have been reached. A rupture in diplomatic relations is talked about, but, in fact, this would do little to change these relations as they are in Tokyo at the present moment.\n\n## Hungary\n\n377. A Far Eastern repercussion of the Munich Agreement may be heard in the newspaper reports that Hungary and Japan are to sign a cultural pact; that Hungary will soon recognise Manchukuo; that the Japan-Hungary Society has sent 20,000 books explaining Japan and her culture to Hungary, and that it is planning the exchange of students and professors between the two countries.\n\n## Premier's Statement\n\n378. The Premier's long-awaited pronouncement on Japan's basic demands in China was eventually issued in the form of a statement on the night of the 22nd December. It had originally been arranged that Prince Konoye should make a statement in regard to the Government's policy in the course of a speech at Osaka on the 11th December. But those arrangements were cancelled almost at the last moment, ostensibly for the reason that the Premier was indisposed. The current explanation of this delay, however, was that the Government had hoped to announce the formation of a Government in Central China under Wu Pei-fu, and that the latter, by tightening up his terms at the last moment, had caused the Government's plans to miscarry. The basic demands were as follows:\n\n| Number | Demand |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | Establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Manchukuo |\n| (2) | Conclusion of an anti-Comintern agreement between China and Japan |\n| (3) | The stationing of Japanese troops in China and the designation of Inner Mongolia as a special anti-Communist area |\n| (4) | Recognition of the freedom of residence and trade for Japanese in China |\n| (5) | Extension to Japan of facilities for the development of China's natural resources, especially in North China and Inner Mongolia |\n\nThere was nothing very startling in the pronouncement, and considering the importance which had been attached to it in anticipation, it was somewhat disappointing. There have been a good many of these oracular utterances lately. Each one is vaguer than the last and receives less attention both from the press and from the people.\n\n## Tientsin\n\n379. Even judging from the accounts appearing in the local papers, the Japanese military in Tientsin are behaving extremely badly. Ever since the evacuation of the concessions by most of the Japanese businesses and residents, a slow attempt has been made to isolate and terrorise these areas. The eventual aim of the army in North China can no longer be held in doubt. On the 22nd December, barbed-wire entanglements were erected on all roads leading into the British and French concessions. Passes had to be produced, and, after dark, travel... \n\nPage 229\nPage 230",

        "content_text": "# 305. \nThe notes, which were similar, but not identical, protested strongly against the continued closure of the Yangtze to foreign shipping (whereas Japanese ships use it freely) and maintained that the original Japanese plea of military necessity no longer held good. Similar, but not identical, replies were received on the 14th November. It was said that the Yangtze was still the scene of military operations, that Chinese guerillas, occasionally laying mines, were active from the shore, that only Japanese military transports used the river, and so on.\n\n# 306. \nIn view of the extremely unsatisfactory nature of these replies (although their tone was polite and restrained) further representations will doubtless be made again soon. But the Japanese military and naval authorities in China issued a joint communiqué on the 29th November to the effect that the Yangtze would remain closed until hostilities ceased, so that, from Tokyo at any rate, the opening of the Yangtze looks as far away as ever it did.\n\n## Reply to the American Note of October 6\n# 307. \nThe long-awaited reply to the American note of the 6th October protesting against discrimination in China was handed to the American Ambassador on the 18th November. It too was unsatisfactory, but again its tone was restrained and conciliatory. The specific charges were neatly evaded and protection taken behind those vague generalisations in which the Japanese mind delights. Japan had not the slightest desire to oppose the participation of America or of any other Power in the work of reconstruction in China; indeed, it welcomed and looked forward to such participation, but any attempt to apply to the conditions of to-day and to-morrow inapplicable ideas and principles of the past would not contribute towards the establishment of a real peace in East Asia nor would it solve the immediate issues.\n\n## Anglo-Japanese Relations\n# 308. \nThe following incident serves very well to illustrate three points: firstly, the present condition of Anglo-Japanese relations; secondly, the attitude of this country towards any sort of mediation in the war; thirdly, the extraordinary leakages from official sources which are constantly occurring, in this case over a matter of a highly confidential nature.\n\n# 309. \nA distinguished Japanese resident in London approached a Member of Parliament and said he was sure that Japan would agree to peace on the following basis:—\n- Complete, but gradual, withdrawal from China.\n- Complete equality of opportunity with other Powers.\n- A Sino-Japanese agreement to which His Majesty's Government would subscribe (without, however, incurring any responsibility for seeing its terms were observed) for the cessation of official Chinese participation in anti-Japanese activities, particularly trade.\n\n# 310. \nThe Member of Parliament passed these terms on to the Secretary of State, who authorised His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokyo to approach Prince Konoye. A private interview was arranged at which the latter said in characteristic fashion that he would think the matter over.\n\n# 311. \nA few days later the financial adviser was lunching with the notorious Mr. Shiratori, Ambassador Designate to Italy. Mr. Shiratori understood that these peace terms had been put forward formally by His Majesty's Government. He said that they showed a complete lack of understanding of Japan's position and had caused very great resentment.\n\n# 312. \nShortly afterwards these same terms in very garbled form appeared in the Japanese press and occasioned the same strictures on the inconsistencies in British diplomacy in the Far East. We were desperate in maintaining intact our position in the Far East.\n\n# 313. \nWith the cutting of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Great Britain is less in the limelight. Official circles in Japan have long been aware that the British part in the arms traffic has been a small one, but naturally they have not chosen that the people should know this, and as long as ships carrying munitions docked at Hong Kong and the railway was used, then England was the Power behind all Chinese resistance. We are a little less in the limelight certainly—a distinction which has passed to France—but it is impossible to maintain that our relations with Japan have improved. At the present moment, too, the morale of the people is high; the army's prestige, as a result of the military successes in China, is higher than ever; the feeling that at long last the corner has been turned is causing the official attitude, especially towards the rights and interests of third Powers, to stiffen.\n\n## France\n# 314. \nHardly a day passes without some reference in the press to the support which France is giving to the Chiang Kai-shek régime, by the railway to Yunnanfu, by permitting munitions to be landed on Kwangchow Bay, by the overland routes into Yunnan Province, by according refuge to Chinese merchants and banks and firms, by establishing aeroplane factories at Yunnanfu, by boycotts directed against Japan, and so on. The French Embassy has continued firmly to deny that arms are being imported into China through Indo-China.\n\n# 315. \nOne newspaper said in so many words what the others have all been hinting at, namely, that France has usurped Britain's position as the mainstay of Chinese resistance. And yet there is little popular agitation against France. The necessity for it has gone, presumably, now that Japan feels that it has the military situation in China well in hand.\n\n## Germany\n# 316. \nThe second anniversary of the signing of the Anti-Comintern Agreement was the signal for elaborately staged scenes of mass demonstration and flag-waving, arts in whose technique Japan has little to learn from her totalitarian ally. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and the German Ambassador signed a cultural pact for the promotion of their countries' relations in the spheres of sport, culture, science, and so forth. Arrangements will be made for the exchange of even more missions, teachers, and students.\n\n# 317. \nThat this ostentatious propaganda does not achieve all it sets out to achieve may be seen from the following comments of Japanese on Germany.\n\n# 318. \nExactly nine days before the signing of the pact a party of young Japanese, recruited from the Young Men's Associations, returned from a tour of Germany where they had been the guests of the Reich in exchange for the Hitler Jugend Mission which is at present in this country. \"Japan has nothing to learn spiritually,\" said one of the young men. \"The standard of living in Germany,\" said another, \"cannot compare with that of the Japanese. We Japanese, comparatively blessed with material resources, are the people who are happy.\"\n\n# 319. \n...from Germany.\n\n## German Propaganda\n# 321. \nSir George Sansom, Commercial Counsellor of the Embassy, whose Cultural History of Japan is a standard work, has been approached by a German publishing house who wish to publish a German translation of the book.\n\n## Japan and the Jews\n# 322. \nIt was announced on the 30th November that the Japanese military authorities in North China had decided to prohibit any influx of Jews into North China \"in order to maintain peace and order.\" The papers of all Germans would henceforth be most carefully examined.\n\n# 323. \nThe Foreign Office spokesman said that the Japan-German cultural pact would not involve any discrimination against Jews, but in practice, this will doubtless occur, since Japan will only accept those teachers and students who have been officially recommended by the Reich.\n\n## Goodwill Flights\n# 324. \nThe Italian goodwill plane had to abandon its much-publicised flight to Japan, and the Italian eye was firmly wiped by the successful flight of a huge German Condor machine which arrived in Japan on the 30th November from Berlin after a journey lasting 46½ hours. In a speech on the arrival of the machine, the German Ambassador said that he hoped the flight would be the forerunner of a regular service between Germany and Japan in the near future.\n\nPage 483  \n`[483 gg-7]`  \nB 2  \nPage 274",

        "content_text": "174/2 \n\nJ \n\n189 \n\nSCHOOLS All schools have remained closed. The Japanese conducted an examination for school teachers from the results of which they picked candidates as future primary school teachers. These successful candidates are now in training at St. Paul's Girls' College. In future all teachers must know Japanese before they will be permitted to teach. Dr. Katie WOO is still in residence at the school where she is looking after her boarders. Because the Japanese are using her school they give her rice for her boarders and also teach them Japanese free. The Diocesan Girls' School is being used as barracks.\n\nNOTE: Dr. Katie WOO is an O.B.E., a most capable woman and was highly respected by Europeans and Chinese. St. Paul's is a Church of England School holding a high rank among the Colony Schools. The Diocesan Girls' School is also C. of E., Kowloon.\n\nCIVILIANS. The British, American and Dutch Europeans are interned at Stanley Gaol Warders' Quarters and in St. Stephen's College. There are about 400 Americans. American Consular Officials are interned somewhere on Mount Davis. The Canadian Trade Commissioner was interned at his own choice in his office so that he could eat at the American Club, and when the food ran out he asked to be sent to Stanley. The internees get two meals a day. It is cooked by cooks. Often the rice is half-cooked. The internees say they are always hungry. The Americans are co-operating much more smoothly. There are very few Dutch on a hill overlooking Stanley Bay.\n\nEurasians are exempt from internment. Chinese wives of Europeans were sent away from Stanley. A small group remain by choice as they had no livelihood outside and did not know that they would be allowed to get money out of the bank. Eurasians are given passes as Third Nationals. Indians are free. Filipinos are free and are playing in bands (cafés) on Nathan Road. Medical Department staff are retained under Japanese. A few Europeans are working on the cows at Pokfulum. Each child in Stanley is allowed a bottle of milk a day. What the Japanese do not want they give back to the Dairy Farm Chinese staff to sell for themselves. The radio engineers are kept in Gloucester Building and help run the Japanese station now JHPA. The Colonial Secretarial staff were kept in Prince's Building. Mr. CHOW SHOU SON and Mr. LAW KUK WO are forerunners of the Co-Prosperity Scheme in Asia. Mr. M.K. LO wears an armband very unwillingly. The former two are always making speeches and attending meetings.\n\nThere is not enough to eat for the Chinese either. In Hong Kong, they are allowed to buy half a catty (Note: A little over one pound) of rice per head a day and they buy it in lots for a few days. In Kowloon, each household is allowed one catty per day irrespective of the number of people in the household. The Japanese want the Chinese to leave Hong Kong. They want the uneducated people to go. They are running boats to Canton, Macao and Kwang Chow Wan. In fact, most people in Hong Kong are hungry. They are living on a starch diet, rice, bread. The Chinese miss their vegetables and have to eat congee (NOTE: Rice gruel) to make the rice go round. Vegetables are most plentiful but people do not have much money to spend.\n\nCOMPILER'S NOTE. This confirms what has been seen about Eurasians but I cannot remember the exact source of information. The Filipinos in Hong Kong are usually members of café and dance bands. Nathan Road is the main thoroughfare of Kowloon. It is possible that the stopping of the milk for children, alluded to in letter \"E\" below, if true, is due to lack of food for cows as the grass was of a specially imported and planted type, and other food imported.\n\nMr. CHOU SON CHOW is SIR SHOUSON CHOW mentioned in the previous report as being Puppet Governor. I cannot identify LAW KUK WO. M.K. LO is referred to in the same letter as the reference to CHOW in the previous report. This seems to clear him a little. Pokfulam is the site of the Dairy Farm.\n\nPage 190\n\nPage 191",

        "content_text": "## Agricultural Co-operatives\n\nSome years ago, Mr. Strickland wrote a report published as a Government White Paper on the possibility of establishing rural co-operatives in Hong Kong. This report has been considered by a succession of Governors and their Councils, but no steps have been taken to implement the recommendations made in it. Shortly before leaving Hong Kong in October, 1945, the occasion being propitious, I put before Government a proposal for the collection and marketing of the Colony's vegetables by a body which would in effect be the forerunner of a Co-operative Society comparable to that established by me for fisheries in September of the same year. October 19th, the day before I left Hong Kong, Government discussed this proposal with the nucleus of men who would run the scheme, and asked that it should be worked out in detail in the next two or three weeks with a view to its adoption if approved. The vegetable business is one of the worst rips in the Colony, the producer gets next to nothing, the middleman gets almost all the profits. The scheme proposed would ensure that the former gets a fair price and the purchaser did not pay too much.\n\nAnother problem which must be tackled is that of land tenure. Much of the land in Hong Kong, as in South China, is very heavily mortgaged, and the farmer has to pay a large percentage of the yield of rice as interest on the debt - the capital is very rarely repaid. In consequence, the farmer is too poor to buy manure and implements and cannot afford to experiment or to try new methods. He cannot afford the risk of loss if an experiment is a failure, and hence is ultra-conservative in his methods. Rural co-operative banks are essential to help save the farmers from the mess that they are in and to finance improvements. Perhaps the Imperial Government might consider a grant to such banks to facilitate the rehabilitation of the agricultural industry of the Colony. I need not elaborate this any further.\n\nI do not profess to know anything about foreign agriculture, but I do know something about native and foreign crops cultivated in Hong Kong, and I do know the Colony, its people and its problems. Though these schemes would cost money, they are essentially practical, and there is no reason why any one of them should not prove a great success.",

The Fisheries Co-operative would pay its own technical staff. This does not mean that Government research in that aspect of processing would then cease, but it does mean that the commercial exploitation of the first practical results of Government research would be carried out by the Co-operative. It is thought that these pilot plants would cost a few hundred pounds each; the drying plant would cost a thousand or a little more. The staff required would not be considerable but would include one or two chemists. These could be Chinese, but if so, it would be advisable that one be selected to work in the U.K., e.g., at the Torrey Research Station, Aberdeen, for a few months to learn the ropes.\n\n## 3. VESSELS AND GEAR\n\nApproximately 1,000 large fishing junks registered in Hong Kong have been lost in hostilities with the Japanese since 1937. The replacement of these vessels appears to be beyond the capacity of the existing Hong Kong junk-building yards. Attention must be given to this problem.\n\nSecondly, research is essential in the field of mechanization of the fishing fleets. We do not advocate the employment of modern trawlers now by local Hong Kong fishermen. We do advocate the introduction of diesel engines into junks for two main purposes: (i) to supply power supplementary to wind to enable junks to trawl in light winds, or still days, or against the wind and in deeper waters than is now possible; (ii) to supply power for winches to enable trawls to be raised from greater depths than is possible with hand-operated winches. This auxiliary power would allow the fishermen more time on the fishing grounds for fishing and enable fishing to take place in waters at present untouched by the Chinese fleets.\n\nThirdly, research is required into a great variety of problems, for example, the most suitable shape and size of junk for a given purpose, e.g., for trawling, long lining, purse seining, etc.; this would result in a certain standardization of type leading to economy. Research is required into fishing gear and its most economical use and its preservation.\n\nWith these three lines of research and reconstruction in mind, it is considered that investigation be made into the following. The acceptance and implementation of any recommendations in respect to these investigations are dependent upon their economic soundness.\n\n1. The possibility of mass production of junks of standard types. This might involve the erection of a saw-mill; establishment of a timber yard and the purchase or erection of a junk-building yard.\n\n2. The construction of a pair of junk trawlers equipped with diesel engines to supply auxiliary motive power and power for operating winches. These vessels are to be used by the Fisheries Department for their investigations and to be the forerunners, if successful, of a fleet of such vessels.\n\n3. The erection of a laboratory and workshop where tackle may be made and tested.\n\n**DIRECTOR OF FISHERIES**\n\nThese three functions of a Fisheries Department must be viewed in relation to the appointment of a Director of Fisheries and his responsibilities.",
