The last paragraph of that Despatch will be found on reference to the Gazette to run thus: \"Lastly I am to point out that the Imperial Act requiring the production of Certificates applies only to Vessels entering or leaving Ports in the United Kingdom, and that consequently there is nothing in that Act to prevent a Vessel clearing from one Port in the East to another with a Master who does not possess a Certificate.” \n\nBut the Legislature of Hongkong has supplemented the action of the Imperial Parliament as far as lay in its power and while it could not interfere with the provision above quoted, it has by section 5 of **Ordinance 1 of 1862** given Vessels requiring change of Master the same protection as is given by the Imperial Act to those belonging to the United Kingdom. \n\nThus while it necessarily passes by all Ships navigated as the **Merchant Shipping Act** requires, it insists on Certificate of Service or Competency whenever the special action of the Harbor Master of Hongkong is called for in putting the name of a new Master or Mate on the Ship's Register. \n\nIn this case of the Fokkien it will be noticed that the name of \"W. O. JOHNSON\" was in Hongkong refused inscription on the Register on the ground of want of Certificate, and that on arrival at Shanghai the Consular Officer there placed W. O. JOHNSON's name on the Register, from which it was not competent for the Authorities of the Colony to remove it on the Vessel's return. \n\nIn so doing the Consular Officer acted in perfect accordance with the **Merchant Shipping Act 1854** as above shown, but is singular that the Consular Officer who formed one of the Court was unacquainted with the facts as above stated, and that all the Members affixed their signatures to a finding which affects to censure this Government for not doing what it could not do, and ignores the fact that the Hongkong Legislature has taken all the means in its power to prevent vessels sailing without certificated Officers. \n\nIn Hongkong W. O. JOHNSON was refused command of the Fokkien; in Shanghai he was made and lawfully made Master of that Ship. Having been so made it was not in the power of the Hongkong Authorities to interfere with the arrangement. \n\nThe conduct of the Naval Court is the less excusable as it appears that their error was pointed out to them, and that they notwithstanding gave it Official publicity and forwarded it to the **Board of Trade**. For the information and consideration of the **Board of Trade** a Copy of this Notification will be forwarded to **The SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES**. \n\nBy Order, \n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 29th August, 1865. \n\nW. H. ALEXANDER, Acting Colonial Secretary. \n\n## (Copy.) \n\n### No. 619. \n\n**COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, HONGKONG, 5th August, 1865** \n\nSIR,\n\nOn the supposition that the finding or a Copy of the finding of the recent Naval Court held at Shanghai to enquire into the loss of the Steamer Fokkien of this Port may be on record in the British Consulate I have the honor to ask for certified Copy of the same, but should it not be, I shall be much obliged to you for any information as to where such Copy can be obtained.\n\nI have, &c., \n\nW.

JURISDICTION.\n\nThe \"Daring\" v. \"The Parlement Belge.”\n\n(Before Sir R. J. Phillimore, February 4, 25, 26, and March 15.)\n\nTHIS was a motion on behalf of Messrs. Sandford, of Dover, the owners of the steam-tug \"Daring\" against the Belgian Government, the owners of the mail packet \"Parlement Belge,\" for damages for a collision in Dover Harbour on the 14th February last year.\n\nThe case was fully argued before the Court by Mr. Webster and Dr. W. Phillimore for the plaintiffs; and the Solicitor-General, Dr. Deane, and Mr. Bowen for the Crown, when the Court reserved judgment.†\n\nHis Lordship now delivered the considered judgment of the Court, and said : \"In this case questions of international and public law of the gravest importance have been raised. The Court has to acknowledge the great assistance which it has derived from the learned and able arguments of Counsel, especially the liability in a case which is, I believe, primæ impressionis, and which must be decided upon general principles of analogous law rather than any direct precedent.\n\n\"On the 16th February, 1878, the owners of the steam-tug \"Daring\" served a writ on board the steam-ship \"Parlement Belge\" against the owners of that vessel and her freight, in which they claimed the sum of 3,500l. for damage arising out of a collision which occurred between that vessel and the steam-tug \"Daring\" on the 14th February, 1878, off Dover. The defendants put in an appearance, and took no steps whatever. The plaintiffs have proceeded by default, and taken the usual and proper course, and, the case being ripe for judgment, the plaintiffs on the 25th January in this year gave notice on the 4th February that the Court would be moved to direct judgment, with costs, to be entered for them in respect of the damages so claimed, and that the usual order might be made of reference to the Registrar and merchants, and that a warrant should issue, the action being in rem, against the steam-ship \"Parlement Belge.\" Having looked at the papers and pleadings, I perceived that the arrest of the ship and the judgment which were prayed might affect the prerogative of the Crown and its relations with a foreign State; I, therefore, directed that they might have an opportunity, if they thought fit, of showing cause against the prayer of the plaintiffs. The Attorney-General has appeared, and filed what is called an information and protest, which I will now read :\n\n\"Before and at the time of the alleged collision, and thenceforward till the present time, the \"Parlement Belge\" was one of the mail packets running between Ostend and Dover, and one of the packets mentioned in Article VI of the Convention of February 1876, hereinafter referred to. During the period hereinbefore mentioned, and at all material times, the said packets were, and are, the property of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, and in his possession, control, and employ, as reigning Sovereign of the State of Belgium, and have been, and still are, public vessels of the Government and sovereign State of Belgium, carrying his said Majesty's Royal pennon, and were, and are, being navigated and employed by and in the possession of such Government, and not otherwise. The said packets were, and are, officered by officers of the Royal Belgian Navy, holding commissions from His Majesty the King of the Belgians, and in the pay and service of his Government. The said officers are appointed by, and under the control and orders of, the Belgian Minister of Public Works. During the period hereinbefore mentioned, and at all material times, a Convention, dated the 17th February, 1876, has been, and is, in force between Her Majesty the Queen and His Majesty the King of the Belgians—to a copy of which, in the French and English languages, the defendants crave leave to refer, as if the said Convention were duly set forth at length. During the period hereinbefore mentioned, and at all material times, the \"Parlement Belge\" was carrying the public mails under the said Convention, between and for the Royal Post Offices of Great Britain and Belgium. The Attorney-General, under protest, says that this honourable Court has no jurisdiction to entertain this suit, and that the plaintiffs cannot prosecute the same herein.'\n\n\"I have had the advantage of an argument from the Solicitor-General on the whole case. The protest of the Attorney-General raises a question of constitutional law and a question of international law, both of great moment, and which I will endeavour to consider separately. By this protest it is in substance contended that this steam-ship, the 'Parlement Belge,' is not amenable to the process of this Court; first, on the ground that she is the property of the King of the Belgians at the time of the collision, and was controlled and employed by him; secondly, that Her Majesty the Queen, by a Convention with the King of the Belgians, has placed this packet-boat in the category of a public ship of war. I will endeavour to deal with these questions in the order in which I have stated them, though, perhaps, they cannot be kept quite distinct. It is expedient to make this preliminary observation, which is important in its bearing upon one, if not both, of the questions. The collision in this case took place in Dover Harbour, that is, within the body of a county; and, therefore, previously to the year 1840, this Court would have had no jurisdiction in the matter; but by the joint operation of the Statutes 3 and 4 Vict., cap. 65, and 24 Vict., cap. 10, this Court was given a jurisdiction both in rem and in personam in cases where the collision happened in a harbour, as well as upon the high seas. It follows, therefore, that the plaintiffs have a statutable right of action against the \"Parlement Belge,\" unless that vessel be of that privileged class which are not amenable to a Court of law. The burden of proving that she does belong to this class lies upon the defendants, more especially as it appears from the papers before me that she was engaged in carrying on commerce, however limited in its nature, at the time of the collision.\n\nI turn now to the consideration of the first question raised in the protest. I had occasion to consider most, if not all, of the authorities upon this point in the case of the 'Charkieh.' I desire to state at once that, in my opinion, a public ship of war belonging to a State at amity with Her Majesty is exempt from the jurisdiction of this Court. This proposition is maintained in the recent case of the 'Constitution,' and it has been laid down in a variety of cases adjudicated on both in our Courts and in those of the United States of North America, and it may be considered, notwithstanding certain dicta in the case of the 'Prinz Frederic,' to be firmly rooted in the jurisprudence of both these countries.\n\nIt has been contended on the part of the Crown, not that the 'Parlement Belge' is a ship of war in the general sense of that word, but that she is used, as hereinbefore stated, as a mail packet, the property of the Crown of Belgium, carrying the Royal pennon and officered by commissioned officers of the Royal Belgian Navy. On the other hand, it must be taken that she is not a public armed ship constituting a part of the military force of the nation; nor is she a vessel, so to speak, of pleasure belonging to the Crown, and on that ground, perhaps, by the comity of nations, in the class of privileged ships.\n\nIn the case of the 'Charkieh' I said :— \"I am not prepared to deny that a private vessel (for instance, the yacht of the Sultan, though equipped for pleasure and not for war, would be entitled by international comity—at least, so long as it is not withdrawn by the State conceding it—as international law, to the same immunity as a ship of war, and though dicta to the contrary may be found in the writings of some jurists.\"\n\n\"Since that time I have not found reason to alter the opinion I then expressed. The especial duty of the 'Parlement Belge' (to follow the terms of the Treaty, to which I will presently advert) is the conveyance of the mails. But though such be the especial duty of the packet, it is by no means its sole occupation. Mr. Gregory has made an affidavit in the following words :\n\n\"That I, on the 8th February, 1879, attended at the office of the Continental Daily Parcels Express to make inquiries as to the conveyance of goods and merchandize from London to Belgium, viâ Dover, to Ostend, by the mail boats, and in reply to my inquiries I was handed the exhibit marked with the letter A, hereunto annexed. That the exhibit referred to is a sort of time and charge Table relative to the conveyance by the Government mail packets, viâ Dover, Ostend, and Calais, of samples of every description, papers, plans, books, articles for private use, luggage, and packets of all kinds up to 200 lbs. weight, between England and the Continent, via France, Belgium, &c. By a reference to paragraph 5 thereof, it appears that the said Continental Daily Parcels Express has been in existence for the last thirty years, and, further that they ship their goods to Belgium by the mail boat, viâ Ostend. I asked a gentleman in the office of the said Continental Daily Parcels Express whether there was any other means by which they could be sent to Belgium, and the reply was, \"No; we can only ship by the mail boats, via Dover and Ostend.\" With reference to paragraph 9 of the Exhibit A, it appears there is no limit as to the size or weight of the parcels that are so shipped, the printed Tariff in the last page going up to 200 lbs., but stating, as to the rates generally, as well as to the special rates to Ostend alone, what additional charge is made for every 10 lbs. according to the Tariff'\n\n\"The 'Parlement Belge,' it would appear, is neither a public ship of war nor a private pleasure vessel belonging to the Crown of Belgium, nor is she a public ship sent by the Government on an exploring expedition, like those employed in the Arctic Expedition, all of which ships, it should be observed, belonging to England, were regularly commissioned as ships of war: she is simply a packet conveying certain mails, and carrying on a considerable commerce, officered, as I have said, by Belgian officers, and flying the Belgian pennon. Can such a vessel so employed be entitled to the privileges of a public ship of war? The analogy between the immunity of the Ambassador and a ship of war is obvious. It has been holden by high authority, both in this and other countries, that an Ambassador may lose his privilege by engaging in commerce. Indeed, Lord Campbell was of opinion, that in such a case all his goods unconnected with his diplomatic functions may be arrested to force him to appear, and may afterwards, while he continues, be taken in\n\n25", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-191 - Public Offices & Others - 1880.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 325410, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "page_number": 670, "title": "CO129-215 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1884 [1-4]", "content_text": "Cu\n\nimportant and preparing\n\nin some degree\n\nPublic Works Retarded.\n\ncollapse of the form of the\n\nsewage\n\nDrainage\n\nJoint\n\nThe Crown Agents take\n\nmuch trouble in his position.\n\nof water to be carried out\n\nto the colonies and\n\nrefrained from this\n\nby\n\nfrom Laing, Holden examined\n\nby then\n\nJun\n\nmedical officers,\n\nbecause this man was recommended by Sir R.

Do these assets still exist or are they completely exhausted?\" The North German Gazette replies thus: \"During the war Germany has acted with regard to her assets abroad in exactly the same way as England towards hers. If Sir Edward Holden would take the trouble to inquire from the official receivers of German property, which has been sequestrated in England and the English colonies contrary to international law, he would find out that thousands of millions of such assets still exist.\"\n\nCounter-question: \"What has become of the English assets abroad which existed at the beginning of the war? Must we not conclude that they are gradually being exhausted, seeing that Sir Edward Holden, in the same Bank meeting, stated that the value of sterling would have fallen still further if England had not had recourse to the emission of a loan in America?\"\n\n## The Second Question and Reply\n\nThe second question asks whether Germany, in view of the considerable reduction of her export trade, has not been placed in a difficult position as regards the financing of her imports. The answer to this reads: \"The German exports have been seriously crippled, but the German imports have also greatly diminished. Not the least important of the causes of this last phenomenon is to be sought in the measures, contrary to international law, taken by England. In fact, we will even voluntarily diminish our imports still further; on the other hand, we will develop our export trade and maintain in this way the necessary equilibrium. But how do matters stand in England? Does not the balance of trade against England amount to at least £500,000,000, instead of £150,000,000 in time of peace? Is England consequently not encountering much greater difficulty than Germany as regards the financing of her imports?\"\n\n## The Third Question and Reply\n\nThe following question, as to whether Germany has not sold nearly all the American, Swiss, Dutch, Scandinavian, and even Russian securities in her possession, is answered as follows: \"Germany has evidently had recourse to the foreign securities in her possession, and which were particularly important as constituting reserves for difficult times, in order to meet her liabilities to foreign countries. German holdings of foreign securities are by no means exhausted; on the contrary, the sale of such securities is continuing, a fact of which England, precisely within the most recent times, will have been able to convince herself, thanks to the usual mail robberies committed by her on neutral ships. But does not Sir Edward Holden know that England is compelled to realise the most valuable part of her holdings of foreign securities, that is to say the American securities, in order to pay for her imports? Does he not know that the British Government has itself organised the sale of American securities, and that Sir Edward Holden himself, in the course of the same Bank meeting, declared it to be the political duty of every Englishman to hand over his American securities in order that they may be sold in New York?\"\n\n## Questions Regarding the Reichsbank\n\nAfter these more general questions, Sir Edward Holden turned his attention to the Reichsbank and its weekly statements. He asked whether the gold mentioned in those statements is really in possession of the Reichsbank. Dr. Helfferich replied categorically that the Reichsbank's statements do not mention one ounce of gold which is not in the vaults of the Bank itself, whereas on the contrary the gold held by the Bank for foreign accounts is not included in such statements.\" Then comes the counter-question: \"Is Sir Edward Holden aware of the fact that the Bank of England's statements comprise gold held in Canada (Ottawa)? Can Sir Edward Holden give the assurance that the gold of Belgium, Egypt and India, and also the gold assets of the Banque de France and Bank of Russia, are not included in the gold supplies of the Bank of England?\"\n\n## Analysis of Sir Edward Holden's Questions\n\nThese are the most important questions put by Sir Edward Holden. Other questions, for instance regarding the gold covering of the bank notes alleged to have been issued by war credit banks, mortgage banks, insurance companies, private banks, municipalities,\" notes which were never issued at all and which the phantasy of the English Press created; concerning the riots in Berlin and the shooting down of hungry men—simply prove the hopeless confusion, and the total ignorance of German conditions, which have been engendered, even in the minds of the most intelligent Englishmen, by the systematic misrepresentations and lies of the English Press. When a man holding Sir Edward Holden's position believes such fairy tales, we can imagine the absurdity of the legends that are current among the masses. The Swedish political economist, Professor Cassel, rightly observes with regard to Sir Edward Holden's questions: \"They bear in an astonishing degree the mark of a superficial reader of phantasy-loving newspapers. Since the outbreak of war, not a single serious effort has been made in England to examine objectively the strength of Germany's powers of economic resistance?\"\n\n## The English Press's Reaction\n\nThat such an effort has never been made, that people in England deliberately close their eyes and endeavor by every means to convince the nation of the imminence of Germany's bankruptcy, is best proved by the attitude taken up by the English Press with regard to the German replies and counter-questions. After having loudly proclaimed that Sir Edward Holden's questions proved the financial collapse of Germany, the English Press contented itself with reproducing curtailed and misleading extracts from the replies of the North German Gazette. Some papers, such as the Daily Mail, characterised the categorical assertions of the German Minister of Finance that all the gold mentioned in the statements of the Reichsbank is in fact in the vaults of the Bank, and that war credit banks, insurance companies and mortgage banks do not issue banknotes, as downright falsehoods. And Sir Edward Holden himself, who triumphantly put his questions to Dr. Helfferich, has judged it better not to reply to the German Minister's counter-questions. He wrote to the London papers to say that he had read Dr. Helfferich's reply with interest; that this reply did not entirely satisfy him, but that he thanked Dr. Helfferich for his courteous explanation. The London Press naturally admires Sir Edward Holden's wisdom in not continuing the conversation begun by him. But the objective observer knows what to think of such wisdom which has recourse to silence in view of the impossibility of lying.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nAnother failure of the English starving-out policy.\n\nIt is to-day evident to the whole world that the starving-out policy, by means of which England hoped to crush Germany, has not had the success that was anticipated.

You asked whether we had left any organised body that could carry on the work begun by the Commission. We had taken steps to form a Hong Kong Council for Combating Venereal Disease on which the Bishop of Hong Kong, the Assistant Harbour Master, the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the representative of the Y.M.C.A., Miss Pitts, Head of the Seamen's Institute, the Catholic Bishop of Hong Kong, the Chairman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, Dr.Hickling, a British woman doctor, and various others had consented to serve as members of such a voluntary organisation, and had all been called together for the purpose of forming themselves into a properly constituted body the day before the Commission left. In the morning of that day we had had our interview with the Governor.\n\nIn this interview Sir Reginald Stubbs expressed a wish that no voluntary organisation should be formed but on the other hand he would appoint a small official committee consisting of the Colonial Secretary, the Principal Civil Medical Officer and the Director of Education to take charge of propaganda material and to deal with the whole problem and that any voluntary organisation wishing to organise propaganda would receive cooperation and assistance from this body.\n\nWe have not heard whether this organisation has been appointed but we do know that no additional supplies of propaganda material...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 496918, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "page_number": 164, "title": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "content_text": "## National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases\n**(INCORPORATED)**\n\nPresident: \nThe Right Hon.

Ormsby-Gore, M.P., \nParliamentary Secretary to the Colonies, \nColonial Office, \nDowning Street, S.W.1.\n\nDear Mr. Ormsby-Gore,\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 20th October, I have now had an opportunity of reporting to a special sub-committee of our Imperial and International Questions Committee on the special points arising out of the Report from the Government of Hong Kong relative to venereal disease in the Colony.\n\n1. My Committee highly appreciate the material advance that has been made by the insistence on the part of the local medical profession and the Committee of the Council that it is desirable to provide for the free diagnosis and treatment of venereal diseases, and they trust that the additional facilities recommended by the Committee will be carried into effect with as little delay as possible.\n\n2. They would especially urge that the disinfection depots and facilities for treatment for members of the Mercantile Marine should be made available at the earliest convenient moment. Such facilities are already available at Shanghai, Singapore, and Colombo, and it is felt that there is a serious lack so long as Hong Kong is not equally well equipped.\n\n3. We would be very glad if the attention of the Committee could be called to the fact that the figures quoted in the Bradford Report (page 4) are not accepted as accurate; that an enquiry into the incidence of syphilis in infants has recently been carried out by Dr. Eardley Holland, under the aegis of the Ministry of Health (\"Report on the causation of Foetal Deaths\" published by the Ministry of Health, 1922), where the incidence of syphilis in 300 cases of foetal deaths amounted to 14%.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 496922, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "page_number": 168, "title": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "content_text": "# National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases.\n\n**(INCORPORATED)**\n\n## President:\n\nThe Right Hon.

Unfortunately, the telephone message I received from your Secretary the day the Committee met was to the effect that the Report must be regarded as strictly confidential. I did not, therefore, feel at liberty to do as you have now kindly suggested I might, that is, to put the special points arising out of it to the members of the Committee.\n\nI am, therefore, arranging to secure the presence of the Chairman and the two members of the Committee who would be most useful for this particular purpose, to meet here and go through these special points. After we have had this consultation, I will forward our comments to you. Under the circumstances, I will delay despatching you the personal letter I had prepared until after this meeting.\n\nI have received a very interesting letter from the Bishop of Hong Kong and understand from him that Sir Claude Severn is still over here and also that the new Medical Officer has been appointed but has not yet arrived at Hong Kong. If he is still in England, it might be rather helpful for us to meet him before he takes up his appointment.\n\nWith very many thanks for your help,\n\nYours very truly,\nBrusselle Kolls \nGeneral Secretary.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 496924, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "page_number": 170, "title": "CO129-483 - Others & Individuals - 1923", "content_text": "# PART 1\n\n## National Council for Combating Venereal Diseases (INCORPORATED)\n\n### President\nThe Right Hon.

I enclose a copy of his letter herewith. He has also sent me a copy of the Report. As you see, he says that the evidence is being kept as confidential out there, but the Report is apparently in circulation. I conclude, under the circumstances, that the Colonial Office can take no exception to my showing the Report to the members of our Committee.\n\nI should also like to send you a copy of the Memorandum which has been circulated to the members of the deputation that are waiting on Mr. Thomas tomorrow. You will see the lines along which it is proposed to go, and I also enclose a draft of the Memorandum on the Relationship between Venereal Disease and Regulation.\n\nI think it would be really helpful to the Colonial Civil Servants if a Memorandum on somewhat similar lines could be circulated for their information. This also we shall raise at the deputation tomorrow.\n\nYours sincerely,\nC.

This number would have been greater had it not been that, for various reasons, many members were unable to be present, but this loss was to a large extent counter-balanced by the appearance on the firing-point of many members from the 1st Bn. Middlesex Regiment.\n\nThe one topic of conversation, both on the range and in the Clubhouse, was the welcome drop in temperature, and this, combined with an unusually clear atmosphere, a steady light and absence of wind, conduced to good scoring, as is evidenced by the scores given below, where it will be noted that a member of the Royal Navy, Commissioned Gunner Moody, put on a fine total of 101.\n\nIndividual full membership, doubtless due in a large measure to the grant of week-end shooting in the near future, has rapidly grown during the last week, and it is confidently expected that by the end of the month, it will have passed the five hundred mark. This increase in full membership is naturally most gratifying to the Council and when it is remembered that over 150 members have left the Colony, in most cases due to change of station it can be well understood that membership by the end of the year is expected to pass all previous records.\n\n### MINIATURE SHOOTING\n\nThe miniature rifle shooting section of the Association is now about to start its activities, under the secretaryship of Mr. C. Watson of the R.N. Dockyard Rifle Club, who himself is a well-known shot on the open range, and who has kindly undertaken the organisation of this new branch of the Association.\n\nThe Association is looking forward, with considerable anticipation, to the arrival of the new Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, K.C.M.G., and the fact that His Excellency was personally responsible for the appearance this year at the Imperial Meeting at Bisley of a team from British Guiana, has been noted with the greatest gratification by all members of the local Rifle Association.\n\nWork on the clay-bird \"range\" is starting this week, and it is anticipated that the first shoot will be held on the first Wednesday afternoon in November.\n\n### RUGBY FOOTBALL\n\n#### Club \"A\" Defeats H.M.S. Suffolk\n\nA team drawn from the H.M.S. Suffolk met the Club \"A\" XV in a Rugby football game on the Club ground on October 20, the latter winning by a goal and three tries (14 points) to nil.\n\nThe teams were:-\n\n| Team | Players |\n| --- | --- |\n| Club \"A\" | B. J. Gallagher; D. Campbell, D. Hynes, H. Macgrath, L. Lammert; E. Tavener, J. L. Bonnar; W. E. Peers, C. F. Needham, A. W. Holden; K. M. M. King, B. Hynes; J. C. Miller (Captain), A. S. Olsen and R.

Whisker; Blunt, Lindsay and Smith. |\n\n### Compilation of the Year-Book\n\nThe compilation of the Year-Book is now approaching completion, and there is no doubt that the second issue will be far more comprehensive than was the case with the current edition. Photographs of winning teams at the last Prize Meeting, however, are still badly required, and the Honorary Secretary will be most grateful for further assistance in this direction.\n\n### Leading Scores\n\nThe leading scores made on Oct. 20 are as follows:-\n\n#### S.R.

On this question I must say that we agree with the War Office attitude. We are not experts in things appertaining to shipping but it is difficult to follow the reasoning behind the latter part of the third paragraph of your letter to Jerron of the 31st May where you draw a distinction between the scuttling of ships under requisition and those not under requisition.\n\nTo us there is no distinction for the purposes under discussion. The significant factor is the act of destruction in order to deny the craft to the enemy and it seems that the resultant damage in both cases is virtually in the same category.\n\nCompensation should, so it seems, be sought through the appropriate War Damage or Reparations channel rather than from the Service Department which destroyed the vessels. There may, of course, be other factors which would justify some payment from U.K. funds but if so I think they should be considered on their merits and not be given satisfaction through Services compensation.\n\nI am sending a copy of this letter to Admiralty, War Office, Treasury and Colonial Offices.\n\nD.
