It was stated that Sir John Jordan gave these assurances, and accordingly, on the 12th April 1920, the Custodian of Enemy Property, Hong Kong, wrote to Mr. Wilzer informing him that the Secretary of State for the Colonies had authorised the payment of a lump sum of $5,000 and a monthly sum of $500, provided sufficient funds stood to Mr. Wilzer's account in his books.\n\nAll Mr. Wilzer's assets consisted solely of 30 shares in the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation, of which 16 were on the Hong Kong register, 13 on the London register, and one on the Shanghai register. The Hong Kong and London shares and one Shanghai share were held by the Bank in Hong Kong, according to the order of the Custodian of Hong Kong, and all the dividends which had accrued due were paid in London to the Custodian. It was, therefore, impossible for the Hong Kong Custodian to make the payments authorised by the Secretary of State.\n\nIt appears that Mr. Wilzer has now returned to Hamburg, and he has written to this Department, forwarding to the Custodian copies of the correspondence as per the attached, and requesting that effect should be given to the authority for the release of the shares given by the Hong Kong Custodian. I am to state that the Custodian has in hand dividends amounting in all to £795. 19. 8d.\n\nThe Custodian will be glad if you will consider this matter and let him know whether, in your opinion, he should give effect to the decision of the Custodian in Hong Kong.\n\nI am, Sir,\nYour obedient Servant,\nSwann\nPrincipal Clerk.\n\nThe Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies,\nColonial Office,\nDowning Street,\nLondon, S.W.1.\n\n## ENCLOSURE\n\nN.B.-Please quote fully the following reference.\n`5195`\n\nCALLERS, UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED, SHOULD CALL AT CORNWALL HOUSE, STAFFORD STREET...\n\n234\n\n**PUBLIC TRUSTEE OFFICE**\nTelegram: \"Public Trustee, London,\" Telephone: Holborn 582 & 5837\nLetters should be addressed to **THE PUBLIC TRUSTEE (Trading with the Enemy)**, and must be sufficiently stamped.\nAn official receipt should be obtained for Cash or Securities deposited with the Public Trustee.\n\nBranch Office\nAlbert Square, Manchester.",

Wilzer, a German National whose address on the Company's register was in Hamburg.\n\nAs the Board is aware, with the approbation of the Custodian for Hongkong, all the shares on the London register in respect of which the Custodian was registered as Proprietor have been disposed of. The Board is also aware of the position regarding Mr. Wilzer, the correspondence relating thereto being on their Papers Nos.7673/1915.\n\nMr. Wilzer was a Commissioner of Customs for the space of 15 years in the service of the Netherlands Government. His case was apparently carefully considered and instructions were ultimately given to the Custodian for Hongkong through the Secretary of State for the Colonies that Mr. Wilzer might be authorised to receive a lump sum of $5,000 and a monthly allowance of $500.\n\nThe Custodian has been approached by a Mr. Guy Acheson, a Commissioner of Customs in China, who is at present in the Office of the Chinese Customs, 26, Old Queen Street, Westminster, S.W.1., on behalf of Mr. Wilzer. Mr. Acheson states that the Hongkong Custodian is not in the possession of sufficient funds to make the payments directed and requests the Public Trustee as Custodian to place the money at the disposal of the Hongkong Custodian in order that he may do so.\n\nIt will be remembered that in addition to the 13 shares on the London register Mr. Wilzer also owned 16 shares on the Hongkong register and 1 (or possibly 2) on the Shanghai register, and consequently if the Custodian for Hongkong is, as is anticipated, disposing of the shares on the Hongkong register, he will no doubt have sufficient funds in hand to enable him to make the payments.\n\nThe Public Trustee as Custodian would be glad to receive the Board's directions as to whether they consider it desirable that he should place the whole of the monies which are in his hands in relation to the shares formerly in the name of Mr. Wilzer on the London register at the disposal of the Custodian for Hongkong, or whether in the alternative he should retain such monies and inform Mr. Wilzer that he should claim direct in accordance with Article 297 of the Treaty of Versailles.\n\nI am to enclose you herewith for your information copies of certain documents which were left with this Department by Mr. Acheson and when the matter has been considered perhaps you would be good enough to return the same to this Department in order that they may be forwarded to that gentleman who desires to keep them.\n\nI am,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\n(Prin. Clerk)\n\nThe Comptroller of the Companies Department.",

Paper No. 248-C), in regard to the possible future need of an aerodrome in the vicinity of Hong Kong, and to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that they have recently received reports which suggest that the question of effecting certain reservations on what is now reported as the only suitable site for an air base at Hong Kong should now be considered.\n\nThe Kowloon reclamation area, the site in question, is owned by the Kai Tak Company who are reported to have failed financially and to be anxious to sell. At the present time a part of the reclaimed area is being used as an aerodrome by a flight of aircraft from H.M.S. Hermes at a low rental of one dollar per month.\n\nIn their report (C.I.D. Paper No. 617-B), the Chiefs of Staff suggested that local interests in Hong Kong might be expected to contribute in some way towards military expenditure on the defence of Hong Kong. It is known that the Hong Kong Government would have been willing in 1922 to contribute towards the cost of a local aerodrome site provided that some Air Force unit were permanently stationed there in peace time.\n\nAlthough the present situation does not warrant the permanent location of an air base at Hong Kong, it might be necessary, in the event of the growth of the present unrest in China and the development of Chinese air forces, to establish\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nDowning Street,\n\nS.W.1.\n\nPage 1\n\n \n\nwas removed and replaced with proper paragraph tags for better readability.

If the prisoner challenges any statement it is the duty of the Judge to inquire into it; if necessary he should adjourn the matter, and, if it is of sufficient importance, he may require legal proof of it. Or he may ignore it, and, if he does so, he should state that he is not taking it into consideration. If the prisoner does not challenge the statements, the Court may take them into consideration, and no injustice is likely to be done.

"content_text": "## SECTION XIV.\n\n### RAILWAY WARRANTS.\n\n#### General.\n\n1. The Cheap Trains Act, 1883, allows the Police to travel on duty at a reduced rate of fare, and in order that advantage may be taken of the Act it is necessary for the Police to present a railway warrant or certificate to the railway booking office when applying for a railway ticket.\n\n2. The railway companies are very anxious that for this purpose the Police should use warrants consecutively numbered and of a uniform pattern. It has therefore been arranged that the Stationery Office should supply such warrants in the form approved by the Companies at cost price. No other warrants should be used.\n\n3. Warrants are supplied by the Stationery Office in two standard forms: form A (on blue paper) is intended for use when the bearer pays the fare at the time; form B (on buff paper) when the fare is not paid at the time, but is subsequently recovered by the railway company. Either form may be used when a warrant is issued for ordinary police purposes; but when a warrant is issued on behalf of the Admiralty, War Office or Air Ministry (see paragraphs 7-12 below), form B is alone suitable.\n\n4. Whenever form B is used, the name and address of the authority from whom the railway companies are to recover the fare should be inserted in the space provided on the front of the form. When the warrant is used for ordinary police purposes, this will be the Chief Constable or other officer authorised to make the payment; for other cases, see paragraph 11 below.\n\n5. In all cases the warrant must be exchanged at the railway booking office for a ticket.\n\n6. Applications for supplies of railway warrants should be addressed to His Majesty's Stationery Office, Adastral House, Kingsway, London, W.C. 2. Warrants are supplied in books, each containing 50 forms - form A being 1s. a book, 1s. 2d. by post; form B, 1s. a book, 1s. 2d. by post.\n\n#### Naval, Military, and Air Force Cases.\n\n7. Railway warrants (form B) may be issued by the Police on behalf of the Admiralty, War Office and Air Ministry, for the following services (see back of warrant) :—\n\n(a) To a police escort in charge of an absentee without leave or deserter or other service prisoner who is being conveyed by the Police to his ship or unit. In this case the warrant should cover both the prisoner (unless he has a valid ticket or pass) and the return journey of the police escort. Each should travel at three-fourths ordinary fare.\n\n| Country | Date of Order in Council |\n| --- | --- |\n| Belgium | 8th February, 1855 |\n| Brazil | 17th November, 1888 |\n| Colombia | 28th December, 1866 |\n| Congo, Independent Free State of | 10th August, 1888 |\n| Denmark | 15th July, 1881 |\n| Ecuador | 24th September, 1886 |\n| France | 3rd July, 1854 |\n| Greece | 12th July, 1887 |\n| Honduras | 26th September, 1901 |\n| Italy | 11th June, 1863 |\n| Japan | 3rd October, 1911 |\n| Mexico | 28th May, 1889 |\n| Morocco and Fez | 6th May, 1857 |\n| Netherlands | 9th March, 1854 |\n| Nicaragua | 1st March, 1907 |\n| Norway | 18th August, 1852 |\n| Paraguay | 29th December, 1887 |\n| Peru | 18th August, 1852 |\n| Roumania | 29th February, 1908 |\n| Salvador | 11th June, 1863 |\n| Siam | 10th November, 1866 |\n| Spain | 23rd January, 1860 |\n| Sweden | 18th August, 1852 |\n| Uruguay | 24th September, 1886 |\n| Zanzibar | 7th March, 1887 |\n\nPage 30\nPage 31",

Approach roads also are a necessary adjunct. We note that the item for further small resumptions represents outlying plots not included in the Kai Tak Company's area.\n\nThe only question that occurs to us is in connection with the apportionment of the item for dredging. It appears from the Governor's despatch of the 23rd May that the cost of the dredging work if carried out separately would be $955,500, and the cost of reclamation $385,704, a total of $1,341,204. By carrying out both works together the total cost is reduced to $988,404, of which $955,500 is common to the two services. It seems to...\n\nW.D.

The measures necessary for implementing that decision have subsequently been orally discussed between representatives of the Colonial Office and Air Ministry.\n\nA new factor has now arisen. The Air Council have been given to understand that the expenses of the Shanghai expedition render it of the utmost importance that savings should be effected in the monies at present taken for works expenditure by all three fighting services. If effect is to be given to this request it will be impossible for the Air Ministry to provide this year any sum approaching the amount which has so far been suggested for the acquisition of the Kai Tak aerodrome.\n\nIn these circumstances it appears to them to be for consideration whether the Hong Kong Government should be invited to provide a much larger portion of the total cost.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State, \n**Colonial Office,**\n**S.W.1.**",

At the present wage level the cost would amount to approximately £3,750,000 if the construction were carried out at Kiel, or about £3,550,000 if constructed in the naval dockyard. In comparison with the building costs in other navies, our main disadvantage is the armament, which costs more for the reasons previously given. The actual ship and engine construction on the other hand is on a level with that of foreign countries. The limited displacement renders necessary the employment of the finest technical materials and methods, so as to save weight and space.\n\nIn the proposed programme of construction, the building of four of these armoured ships is distributed over the next few years in such a manner that the yearly quota for new construction will average £3,050,000.\n\nThe latest cruisers will be fitted with powerful Diesel engines and the new armoured ships will be fitted entirely with internal combustion engines.\"\n\nReconstruction. The battleship Schleswig Holstein, which was modernised about two years ago and fitted with a fighting mast with a director control tower, has been overhauled and reconstructed at Wilhelmshaven during the winter months. In order to eliminate funnel smoke, the foremost funnel has been joined with the middle funnel, as in the case of the Schlesien.\n\nHOLLAND.\n\nOn 17th February, the First Chamber passed the bill for the amalgamation of the Ministries of War and Marine. According to a memorandum issued by the Minister previous to the debate, it is intended to effect the amalgamation on 1st September, 1928. Although the organisation of the new Ministry of Defence has not been definitely fixed it is probable that it will be housed in the War Ministry in the offices at present occupied by the General Staff, and that the latter will be transferred to the present Ministry of Marine building. The post of Secretary-General for War and Secretary-General of Marine will be abolished, and it is expected that the present Secretary-General for War will become Secretary-General of the Ministry of Defence.\n\nITALY.\n\nThe Crown Prince of Italy on board the Cruiser San Georgio is at present paying a formal visit to the colony of Eritrea. On his way there he landed in Egypt and was also entertained by the Governor-General of the Sudan.\n\nAn expedition to the North Pole, which has been organised by General Nobile, is expected to set out about the end of March or\n\n21\n\nearly in April. The cable ship Citta di Milano, which has been specially fitted out for the purpose, will be accompanied by the newly constructed airship Italia (N.4). The expedition, which is financed partly by the Italian Government and partly privately, will consist of fifteen scientists and a Press correspondent. They will proceed to Kingsbay on Spitzbergen whence they purpose to cross the North Pole to the coast of America. The intention is to land on the Polar ice and, if possible, to find new land between Svalbard and Franz Joseph's Land.\n\nSOVIET UNION.\n\nState of the Baltic Fleet. The following is from a recent report:— The Soviet Naval authorities have made great efforts to bring the three dreadnoughts Marat, Paris-Commune and October Revolution into a proper state of fighting efficiency, and these ships are now considered by them to be in a satisfactory condition in regard to their hulls, machinery and armament. The cruiser Profintern was fully armed during the summer of 1927, and is stated to have attained a speed of 30 knots (this is probably an exaggeration).\n\nAt the end of the summer cruise eight destroyers were considered to be in a satisfactory condition in regard to their hulls and machinery. The remaining destroyers required repairs on a large scale. Eight of the submarines are reported to be in good order and fit to carry out defensive duties.\n\nIt is hoped that the dreadnought Michael Frunze will be ready to join the fleet during the year 1928.\n\nSWEDEN.\n\nThe Swedish Naval authorities continue to show concern for the general condition of the fleet.\n\nIn his Official Report for 1927, the Commander-in-Chief, Coastal Fleet, stated that the older battleships and torpedo craft were so worn out as to be useless for war purposes and unsafe in bad weather. He insisted that the 200 days allowed for training of conscripts was totally inadequate and that it was essential that the period be increased to one year. The stationing of ships at Stockholm during the winter he considered unsatisfactory and recommended that in future the armoured ships should be at Karlskrona from January to April.\n\nThe training of the Coastal Fleet had shown the need for complete co-operation between it and the flying boats. For this an aircraft carrier was essential.\n\nAllowing for the conditions the general training during the year was stated to be satisfactory, especially the gunnery training of the Sverige class.\n\nThe usual commissionings of torpedo craft, submarines, etc., for summer training this year will take place during April.\n\n135",

The foundations were, it is believed, then laid for the ultimate creation of a real and effective British agricultural commonwealth. The occasion was the Imperial Agricultural Research Conference held in Great Britain in October and November, 1927, which was attended by delegates of high standing from all countries in the Empire.\n\n\"The Report of the Imperial Agricultural Research Conference,\" just issued, contains a full account of the events leading up to the Conference, the recommendations (both in full and in summary form) there made and the views expressed by the highest authorities on agriculture in all quarters of the Empire. The recommendations deal with the following subjects:- The establishment of an Imperial chain of Agricultural Research Stations. The establishment of Imperial clearing houses of information. The recruitment, training and interchange of scientific workers in agriculture for the whole Empire. The action immediately necessary to secure co-operative work in such specialist subjects as Veterinary Science, Animal Nutrition and Genetics, Dairying, Soils and Fertilisers, Plant Breeding and Pathology, Fruit Growing, Entomology, Preservation and Transport, and Agricultural Economics.\n\nThe Report of 250 pages is issued at the specially low price of 1s.

They feel, however, that this suggestion has been put forward without a full realisation of the circumstances in which the contribution of £100,000 from Imperial funds was agreed to.\n\nThe Secretary of State for the Colonies will recollect that the question of the reservation of the site at Kai Tak was first raised by this Department in Air Ministry letter of the 28th November 1925, `S.24154/S.6.`, in which reference was made to the reports of the Chiefs of Staff Committee (C.I.D. papers 248-C and 617-B), and the suggestion was made that the local Government should be invited to consider the question of reserving the site and should be asked whether they would be willing to bear the cost of obtaining the reservation.\n\nThis letter made it clear that there was then no question of the permanent location of an Air Base at Hong Kong and that so far as the Royal Air Force were concerned, the...\n\nThe Under Secretary of State, \nColonial Office, \nS.W.1.",

The Club was opened with great enthusiasm and during the afternoon no less than twenty-four people (almost all novices) went into the air including several women. I understand ten of the Hong Kong Volunteers have already put their names down.\n\nI enclose some photographs of the opening meeting with an explanation written on the back.\n\nWhat is concerning me at the moment is that it seems apparent the two sea planes we have at present will be quite inadequate to deal with both the civil instruction and the Volunteer Wing and I consider it a good opportunity now that I am in England to see whether I cannot get some assistance from either the Air Ministry or the War Office by the contribution of two planes to be used exclusively for the instruction of the Volunteer Defence Force.\n\nI would like to know\n(1) Whether the Air Ministry or the War Office will assist as suggested and\n(2) What conditions would be imposed.\n\nIf I could have this information and if assistance is forthcoming then I can on my return to Hong Kong take the matter up and ascertain whether the general circumstances are such as to warrant the assistance and whether the conditions can be complied with.\n\nThe point has been raised that as the Club is international as to membership it is not a fit object for assistance. My answer is that the Portuguese, the Indians and the Chinese who are and will be members are the same type and class of person who took over the Post Defences and the Special Police during the Great War and for four years did their duties most efficiently in the cause of the Empire. No opposition was then placed in their way but their services were gratefully accepted. I have no reason to think that they would not again give their services if the occasion arose and they are properly led.\n\nIt is suggested that this is a novel application and without precedent. To this I say the assistance received by Volunteers in heavy armaments is analogous and even if there is no precedent the necessity of an Empire Aerial Defence Force for the future is in itself sufficient and an adequate reason for what I am asking.\n\nMay I take this opportunity of thanking you for all the kindness and courtesy you have extended to me in connection with this matter.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour obedient servant,\n(signed) with attention\n\nTo\nSir Henry McAnally,\nAir Ministry,\nAstral House,\nKingsway,\nLondon, W.C.2.\n\n-4-\nPage 7 END\nPage 7",

"content_text": "## Report on MALAYA and CEYLON\n\nBY THE RT. HON. ORMSBY GORE. M.P. DURING THE YEAR 1928.\n\n### MALAYA\n\nThere is no part of the Empire where the progress of medical and sanitary science can be studied with greater advantage than in British Malaya.\n\nThe many-sided efforts that have been made to deal with the problem are commendable in the highest degree.\n\nThough Palestine can claim credit for almost the most remarkable achievements in anti-malarial work since the war, the example of the Malay States is rightly held up among the countries of the world in this respect, and this is all the more notable as Malaya, for climatic and ecological reasons, is highly malarious. The slightest relaxation of anti-malaria effort in Malaya is bound to bring retribution in its train.\n\nUnlike the Agricultural, Education, and Forestry Departments, there is no single head for the Medical and Public Health Departments. They are two distinct Departments, viz.,—The Medical Department and Service of the Straits Settlements and the Medical Department and Service of the F.M.S. I feel that ultimately, when another vacancy occurs in the headship, the merging of the two services and the two departments should be reconsidered. The existing dichotomy is difficult to justify in any technical or scientific service. Freedom of movement and transfer of personnel is most desirable throughout the Peninsula.\n\nPublic Health and Sanitation require administrative as well as scientific qualifications, and important as is this side of medical work in temperate climates, it is doubly important in the tropics. It is to preventive rather than curative medicine that the increased expectation of life in civilised countries is mainly due.\n\nIt may be necessary to reconsider the financial rewards that are available to the Public Health worker in comparison to those obtained in ordinary medical private practice if we are to attract the best brains of the profession to the preventive side.\n\nThe health of labourers on estates is well cared for.\n\nIn Singapore, there are 8 special V.D. Clinics for males and three special ones for females.\n\nI have one final suggestion. I think the number of qualified medical practitioners in Malaya who are given facilities for or take study leave is inadequate.\n\nOver and above the facilities and encouragement which should be offered to officers to undertake study leave from time to time during their careers, closer contact with medical work in Java, French Indo-China, the Philippines, and Japan seems desirable, and senior officers should be definitely urged to pay visits to these countries to ascertain and report on recent developments that might be turned to use in Malaya.\n\n### CEYLON\n\nThough Ceylon possesses probably the most extensive hospital system of any British possession and has spent and is spending very large sums from public taxation in re-equipping and staffing this system of clinical treatment of the sick, medical research, modern medical practice, and preventive medicine in Ceylon are not up to modern standards and are below the public need.\n\nCeylon has concentrated all her energies on attempts to cure disease and alleviate disease but is behind many other parts of the Empire in preventing the need for such efforts.\n\nThe Bacteriological Institute at Colombo is hopelessly inadequate in staff and in accommodation. There is no medical research institute as in Kuala Lumpur. Such an institute is badly needed.\n\nThe future prosperity, progress, and happiness of Ceylon are more bound up with the eradication of Malaria and ankylostomiasis than with politics, transport, agriculture, or any other problems. So far from the incidence of Malaria decreasing, it is increasing. Thanks to the charity of the Rockefeller Foundation, some attacks have been made on ankylostomiasis with the result that while 90 per cent of the population is still infected, the degree of infection has been considerably reduced in the treated areas.\n\nMalaria. The main carriers of malaria in the low countries of Ceylon and especially in the dry zones are *A. Listoni* and *A. Culicifacies*, and as in Malaya, the most dangerous mosquito in the upland areas is *A. Maculatus*. *A. Listoni* breeds in wells and small irrigation channels, particularly channels leading from tank irrigation. *A. Culicifacies* is found in considerable numbers in fallow fields in the drier coastal regions but is not uncommon in the small channels in the jungle regions. In the hill country districts, *A. Listoni* and *A. Maculatus* are moderately abundant in fields under crops when the crop has become established, and are also prevalent in the associated irrigation channels. As in other countries, the fresh cutting of jungle produces temporary conditions which make for the rapid increase in the numbers of the more dangerous species.\n\nThe eradication of the dangerous species will involve a long, patient, systematic, and expensive campaign. It will involve a great deal of interference with the customary habits of the people, their wells, their minor irrigation channels, the treatment of crops, etc., etc. The spread of disease knows no arbitrary boundaries, and there must be no differentiation between classes of landed property, and the general powers given to the anti-malarial staff.\n\n*Published by His Majesty's Stationary Office, Adastral House, Kingsway, London.

MORLAND ACQUITTED\n\nThe trial of Lord Kylsant and Mr. Harold John Morland on charges relating to the affairs of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was concluded at the Central Criminal Court yesterday, before Mr. Justice Wright.\n\nBoth defendants were found Not Guilty on the counts which charged them with making and publishing false annual reports of the company for some period of time, and Mr. Morland was discharged. Lord Kylsant was found Guilty on the charge of making, publishing, and circulating a false prospectus, and he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment in the second division.\n\nThe charge against Lord Kylsant was that, being a director of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, he made, circulated, or published, or concurred in making, circulating, or publishing, annual reports of the directors of the company for the years 1926 and 1927, and dated May 11, 1927, and May 9, 1928, which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to deceive the shareholders of the company.\n\nMr. Morland was charged with aiding and abetting Lord Kylsant in the commission of these offences.\n\nLord Kylsant was also charged with making, circulating, or publishing, or concurring in making, circulating, or publishing, a prospectus which he knew to be false in a material particular, with intent to induce persons to entrust or advance property to the company.\n\nThe Attorney-General (Sir William Jowitt, K.C.), Mr. D. N. Pritt, K.C., Mr. Eustace Fulton, and Mr. Patrick Devlin appeared for the prosecution. Sir John Simon, K.C., Mr. J. E. Singleton, K.C., and Mr. Wilfrid Lewis defended Lord Kylsant; Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., Mr. Stuart Bevan, K.C., Mr. C. J. Conway, K.C., and Mr. F. J. Tucker defended Mr. Morland. Mr. Henry O'Hagan and Mr. Elder Jones held watching briefs on behalf of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company.\n\nBoth the defendants pleaded \"Not Guilty.\"\n\nJUDGE'S SUMMING-UP\n\nTHE LAW AND SECRET RESERVES\n\nMR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, in summing-up, said that the case was important because it involved the ventilation in the City of London and in that Court of many questions connected with the finance and accounts of companies, a matter of the very highest public importance.\n\nThe law required the appointment of an auditor, who was the servant of the company. His duty was to report to the shareholders on the accounts which the directors were going to present to them.\n\nIf the accounts from which dividends were being met were being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nWas it not a matter of the most vital importance? No doubt an auditor must use a certain amount of discretion, but he must report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the information given to the auditor.\n\nMr. Morland might have taken an imperfect or an inadequate view of the duties which rested on auditors.\n\nDUTIES OF AUDITOR\n\nThe law did not impose any impossible burden on an auditor, but he had to report and give a certificate whether, in his opinion, the balance-sheet referred to in the report was properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the company's affairs according to the state of the information given to the auditor.\n\nIf the account from which dividends were being met was being fed from undisclosed reserves, it seemed very difficult to see how an auditor could discharge his duty without drawing attention to that fact.\n\nTHE PROSPECTUS\n\nTurning to the charge against Lord Kylsant in connexion with the prospectus, his Lordship said that the prospectus stated that, although the company, in common with other companies, had suffered from depression, the audited accounts of the company showed that during the previous 10 years the average annual available balance had been always sufficient to pay the interest on the Debenture stock.\n\nIt was perfectly true that the balance-sheets soon showed those average annual balances, that one would arrive at the average annual balance stated.\n\nBut it was said that there was such an economy of truth in the statement as to deceive anyone who knew nothing about the company's affairs and was likely to be deceived to his loss, and therefore to defraud.\n\nFALSITY BY OMISSION\n\nDealing with the charge as set out in the indictment and the offence defined in the Larceny Act, 1861, his Lordship said that a document might be false, not because of what it stated, but because of what it did not state.\n\nThe latter type of falsity was more difficult to establish than where one could point to specific false word or sentence, because, where the falsity consisted of the creation of a false impression while keeping accurately to the facts which appeared in the document in question, one had got to show affirmatively that there had been a deliberate intent to create a false impression.\n\nCOMPOSITION OF 1926 SURPLUS\n\nHis Lordship then reviewed the special debits which had been brought in in the years 1921 onwards.\n\nIn 1926 the surplus on the whole position was £628,535. That surplus was obtained by bringing in from excess profits reserve £550,000, from income-tax reserve £175,000, profit on the sale of H. and W. Nelson, Limited, and £150,000 from the general reserve.\n\nSIMPLE FAITH OF SHAREHOLDERS\n\nFor seven years balance sheets and profit and loss accounts were issued which did not disclose whether the company was earning any profit or not.\n\nDuring those seven years there was expended out of the unpublished items, which were mainly connected with the shipowning business, sums which amounted to some millions of pounds.\n\nTHE VERDICT\n\nThe jury retired at 3.32.\n\nAt 5.20 his Lordship returned to the Court and said that he had received a letter from the jury which he had thought it best to read in open Court.\n\nThe jury had to decide whether or not that was a false document.\n\nAddressing the jury, his Lordship said: \"The question you ask is according to the words in the indictment, 'with intent to deceive the shareholders'; you ask whether the intent must be fraudulent.\"\n\nAfter an absence of three hours the jury found both the defendants Not Guilty on the first two counts, and Lord Kylsant Guilty on the third count relating to the prospectus.\n\nHis Lordship immediately discharged Mr. Morland.\n\nSENTENCE ON LORD KYLSANT\n\nAfter asking Lord Kylsant if he had anything to say, MR. JUSTICE WRIGHT, addressing him, said: \"Lord Kylsant, the jury have found you Guilty on the third count of this indictment.\"\n\nThe sentence of the Court is that you be kept in prison in the second division for 12 months.\"\n\nSIR JOHN SIMON asked for bail in view of an appeal.\n\nAn application is to be made in the High Court to-day for leave to appeal.\n\nPage 18\n\n...\n\nPage 363\n\n \nD.

Indeed, they are, they trust, not less anxious than the Hong Kong Government to do all in their power to foster the development of civil aviation in the Colony.\n\nBut the Council, who have, as Sir Philip Cunliffe Lister will recognise, considerable experience of such questions, are convinced that the use of the aerodrome for the purpose of a flying training school would be incompatible with its joint use as a base for the Fleet Air Arm in Chinese Waters and as a civil air port.

In suggesting that the use of the aerodrome for civil purposes should be controlled by the Civil Aerodrome Superintendent under the direction of the Officer Commanding, Royal Air Force Base, the Council are in no sense desirous of asserting a claim to exercise, as a matter of right, complete control, over the aerodrome, which they fully recognise was provided for joint Service and civil use. On the other hand, they feel that the principle of divided control is administratively objectionable and not in the interest of either Service or civil flying. The Council are concerned, not merely to protect Service flying in the manner Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister suggests, i.e., by the suspension, when necessary, of instructional flying, but to provide for the safety of flying generally at Kai Tak, and in their view, for this purpose, unified control is essential. Viewed in this light, they suggest that any derogation from the importance of the responsibilities of the Civil Aerodrome Superintendent would, in the main, be theoretical.\n\n3.

I understand that you have also asked the War Office for their opinion on the matter. Our view would be that broader questions of general defence policy at Hong Kong in which no specific air interest was involved were matters on which the Colonial Office would naturally be advised by the G.O.C., Hong Kong, and the War Office rather than by the Air Ministry.\n\nYou may, however, have in mind that the exercise of Chinese jurisdiction in Kowloon might result in the approaches to the aerodrome being interfered with. That, of course, is a matter of very direct interest to us, and it is one on which some correspondence has taken place between the Officer Commanding, R.A.F., Far East, and the Colonial Secretary's Department, Hong Kong Government.\n\nH.R. Cowell, Esq., C.M.G.,\nColonial Office,\nS.W.1.\n\nWe are expecting to hear further/",

St. G. 377/7\n\nAs regards duties, we sat as sleeping dogs lie & hope for the best.\n\n## Passage\n\nIn the Annual Report, I think the question of this passage should be determined on the same principles. A rather provocative phrase like \"A special Foreign Registration\" might, I think, wake the sleeping dogs, even though the item is included under the head \"Customs Tariff\", which does much to cloak the fact that it is a customs duty. I should be disposed to alter the sentence to: \"A fee of 20% of the value of motor vehicles is payable on first registration in respect of...\" in the next Report. I suggest to the Col. Sect. to do so.\n\nG.L.M. Clauson\n\nAs I understand it, the point at issue is whether this Foreign Registration duty on motor cars is an internal duty or an import duty. If the former, it would be, we are advised by the Board of Trade, contrary to Treaty obligations, e.g., it offends against Art. IV of the Anglo-German Treaty of 1924. But as a matter of fact, however it may be described, the duty is an import duty, and is only given a fancy title in view of the objection on principle to extending the range of import duties in Hong Kong and Straits.\n\nThe question of the wording of the reference in the Annual Report is a minor side issue. At the time the matter of the duty was under discussion, I noticed the reference in the Report and suggested that the papers should be looked up and possibly a criticism made. In view of the fact that no alteration has since been made in the designation of the duty, and no untoward consequences have occurred, there is clearly now no reason to suggest amendment of what is a mere statement of existing fact. I would propose, therefore, unless Mr. Clauson attaches importance to a verbal amendment of the passage, to leave it alone.\n\nH. Q. Lowell\n5.12.34\n\nI do not feel strongly about it. If you think that it is better to leave the wording unchanged...\n\nG.L.M. Clauson 7/12/34\n\nWe can't change it at this stage. I think we can put it by.\n\nPage 9\nPage 11",

REGY\n\nADASTRAL HOUSE,\n\nKINGSWAY, W.C.2.\n\n5 June, 1935\n\n37\n\nWe have delayed replying to your official letter 4 of the 2nd February, 53514/35, about the acquisition of two areas of land at Hong Kong, partly because we wanted to know the outcome of our proposal with regard to the terms for the relinquishment of the aerodrome itself and partly because we were awaiting the return of our Directors of Organisation and Works who visited Hong Kong for the purpose of selecting and discussing terms for the acquisition of a second aerodrome.\n\non 3003/137/35\n\nThe first of these points has now been disposed of by your official letter of the 16th April, 3003/13A/35, and our reply of the 31st May, 309167/34/F.W. and we should propose to suggest a similar arrangement with regard to the buildings on the two areas of land at Kai Tak, i.e. that if no longer required for R.A.F. purposes they shall be surrendered on such terms as may be settled between the Secretary of State for Air and the Government of Hong Kong.\n\nAs regards the second point, the local discussions do not appear so far to have thrown much light on the subject of the terms under which the Colony is prepared to allow us to acquire land for R.A.F. purposes. On the other hand, however, the question of including additional areas in the aerodrome and protecting its approaches was discussed.\n\nIt would assist us in understanding the position if we knew whether the annual Crown Rent referred to is the rent which the Colony pays for the leased territory (I assume that this is so, as 25 years purchase would about represent the value of a lease for 62 years at 3¾%) and whether the cost of forming and resuming the areas represents expenditure already incurred by the Colony on the reclamation, &c. of the sites.\n\nG.E.J.Gent, Esq., D.S.O., M.C.,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nS.W.1.\n\n/In",

Tentative proposals are now under consideration and accordingly we have a formal reply to you in train, dealing generally with the matter under discussion.\n\nWe shall take the line that while, subject to Treasury sanction as necessary, we are prepared to pay half the cost of the extension of Kai Tak and to pay the cost of resuming the land we require elsewhere in connection with the expansion of our activities at Hong Kong, we cannot agree with the contention that we should pay Crown rent, either annual or compounded, nor, of course, is there any prospect that we could get authority to pay interest on the basis suggested in the Hong Kong Government's letter of the 21st May, 1936, a copy of which was enclosed with your letter of the 6th July, 1936.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nG.E.J.

Smith (3) \n11 \n\nDear Gent,\n\n20 oly HK. @4-/47.\n\nWill you please refer to Colonial Office letter `314/37` of the 16th November, 1937, enclosing a copy of the Hong Kong Government's letter of the 15th September, 1937, with regard to the question of the terms of acquisition and relinquishment of land at Hong Kong required for Royal Air Force purposes.\n\nWe are pleased to note that the local Government are prepared, on relinquishment, to reimburse the whole cost of resuming. We were not aware, however, that the cost of resuming included the market value of the land and are not clear in these circumstances why we are expected to pay Crown rent as well; and we should also have liked the local Government to comment on the point as to capitalised Crown rent made in para. of your Letter to them of the 5th March, 1937. As you know, it seems to us that payment of this on the basis of 20 years' purchase is equivalent to buying the land and giving us a right, on relinquishing, to be reimbursed or alternatively, to dispose to the best advantage of the interest we acquire; accordingly, we do not feel able at present to ask the Treasury to authorise payment of the considerable sums of capitalised Crown rent already demanded in respect of land occupied at Kai Tak and Pat Heun, and for which a liability will arise in acquiring further land. There may, of course, be satisfactory explanations of the local Government's attitude and I shall be grateful if you can afford us any enlightenment.\n\nThe question of payments of premium inside payments of cost of resumption appears to us of little practical significance and we are not disposed, for our part, to pursue the point. We are not, however, altogether happy about the phrase in the revised relinquishment clause.\n\nG.4.J. Gent, Esq., D.S.O., O.B.E., M.C., \nColonial Office, \nS.W.1. \n/clause",

Northcote's (3)\n\nAction on the question referred to in your official letter 53514/38 of the 17th July, 1939, was interrupted by the leave season and then this war thrust the matter into the background. It will, however, need to be settled sooner or later and I have therefore been reading the correspondence with a view to drafting a reply to your letter. I think I have got a fairly clear picture except on two points and I should be glad if you could enlighten me on these.\n\nThe Caines intimated in the third para. of his letter of the 13th January 1938 that on relinquishment it might be possible to dispose of an aerodrome or air station advantageously to a third party and the suggested terms provided only for disposal to the Colonial Government. Governor's despatch of the 31st March 1939, as I read it, seems hardly to meet this point, but rather to be based on the assumption that the land will revert to the Colonial Government. A suggestion is made that any buildings they do not retain may be sold in the open market, but this does not apparently cover what Caines had in mind, i.e. disposal of the complete aerodrome or air station as such.\n\nThe other point is reinstatement of the site. Can we assume that our view that no liability for reinstatement should attach to us is accepted?\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nKobal L\n\nG.E.J. Gent, Esq., D.S.O., O.B.E., M.C., Colonial Office, S.W.1.\n\ncher J-17 2 of 147.",
