        "content_text": "28\n\nREPORT ON\n\nWere our colonial authority and establishment at some island or position to the northward, near the central regions of China, we should most probably obtain considerable moral influence over an intelligent and respectable class of Chinese, who would communicate their favourable ideas to other and distant parts of the empire; and by extending a knowledge of our language, pave the way for the introduction of Christianity. An English city at Chusan, for example, surrounded by an extensive agricultural population (the best disposed and most orderly in China as well as elsewhere), and evincing all the benefits of the science and skill of Europe, would have a remarkable effect on the Chinese, whose inquisitiveness and imitative powers would soon induce them to copy those things which would conduce to their physical, and ultimately to their moral and religious improvement.\n\nPolitical point of view. Hong Kong was occupied by our troops and merchants in 1840-41, at a period when our trade was driven from Canton; when we were in hostility to the Chinese Government; and when the Portuguese authorities at Macao had expressed their inability to permit, as usual, British residence and resort to that port. At this period, the views of Captain Elliot were solely directed towards Canton. Hong Kong was then deemed the most eligible spot for British occupation, on political and military grounds. And so it proved, as long as the operations were being directed against Canton, and we were excluded from China. But on our proceeding to the northward, occupying Chusan, and ultimately making peace and opening five ports (including Canton) for free commercial resort, English residence, and the establishment of a ship of war at each, the political and mercantile value of Hong Kong entirely ceased. The late war has shown us the vulnerable point of China, namely, the Yang-tze-kiang river, which is aptly denominated by the Chinese, the \"Girdle of the Empire.\" directed at once towards Nankin, and other places on the Yang-tze-kiang river, and not against Canton. It is by interrupting the supplies of grain, and cutting off the trade of the great artery or grand canal, that we can, with the least expenditure of blood and treasure, terminate hostilities with China. Kong is utterly valueless. Our position must be Chusan, from its contiguity to the scene of war, from its comparative salubrity, safe haven, and capability of supplying provisions, both from the resources of the island itself, and from the contiguous coast. A fleet of ships of war and transports may rendezvous at Chusan, and select, at will, the most fitting period of the year for offensive operations. No attack need be apprehended from the Chinese. Coal is abundant in the Yang-tze-kiang for the use of steamers. Ships from Singapore and the southward, can now, by reason of a greater knowledge of the winds and currents, reach Chusan, even against the monsoon, in nearly the same time they would occupy in reaching Hong Kong. And, finally, the Chinese Government, aware of our position, would be the less disposed to break the peace, and would cease to rely so much as they now do on the strength of the forts in the Canton river.\n\nThe policy of the Chinese Government is to keep foreigners at the extremity of the empire; but the sagacious reasons which dictate this policy, ought to render us the more anxious to operate in a counter direction.\n\nHONG KONG.\n\n29\n\nThere are now seven fortifications, very strong, and apparently well provided with artillery, at the Bogue. With Chinese gunners these forts would prove, even at present, formidable to an invading force; but well manned by European or American artillerymen, the Bogue might be made almost as impregnable as the Dardanelles.\n\n478\n\nThere are not, indeed, any fairly assignable grounds for the political or military occupancy of Hong Kong, even if there were no expenses attending that occupancy. The Government of China is sufficiently civilized to respect the persons and property of British subjects at Canton before any declaration of war took place, which, however, is an event of very remote probability for many years to come, if we retain Chusan; and as the Treaty with China provides for the stationing of a ship of war at Whampoa or Canton, a better security is thus provided for any British residents at Canton than Hong Kong could afford. The climate of Hong Kong will not admit of the island being made a garrison for our troops; and in the event of another war with China, an invading army must proceed from India, unless we keep a small military and naval establishment at Chusan. But a very small effective force can be maintained here, unless at an enormous expense; and the impracticability of fortifying an island which is commanded by the hills around, and by any large battery erected on the opposite shore, is now generally acknowledged, and is in further corroboration of the inutility of Hong Kong.\n\nThat the European and Sepoy troops be removed, and a portion of the 1st Ceylon regiment (Malays) be kept at Hong Kong, in aid of the civil power. That a frigate or sloop of war be always stationed in the harbour, with an extra complement of marines, to be landed only in case of emergency. British and other respectable inhabitants who are householders, be formed into a municipal body, with power to assess themselves for the police, lighting, drainage, and street-making, &c., of Victoria; that the harbour be a free port, open to ships under every flag; and that encouragement be given for the resort to and settlement on the island of other European nations. If this be done, a few years will determine whether it be possible to create any trade, or induce any resort to Hong Kong. Large government establishments, and an immense outlay of the public money for the last three years, have produced no beneficial result; let the opium traders, and those who choose to resort thither, have a voice in the management of the affairs of the colony. There can scarcely be less general trade—less prosperity—less security to life and property, than now exists, with a large garrison on shore and a fleet in the harbour.\n\nIf there were any one advantage—political, commercial, financial, or religious, present or prospective—derivable to England from the",

Some also, unwilling to acknowledge an error in judgment, and others fearful of losing in position, income, or property, will object to a transfer of the seat of Government from Hong Kong to Chusan; or to any reduction of the large Government expenditure on Hong Kong. But their opinions will, I doubt not, be considered with due caution, as are those of all men whose sentiments are guided by their immediate personal interest, or by those motives which almost imperceptibly bias the judgment.\n\nIf a Commission were appointed, I doubt not that Her Majesty's Government would obtain full and impartial statements on Hong Kong and on Chusan. My report on Chusan will, I trust, tend to demonstrate that the qualities which are wanting to make Hong Kong a British colony are all to be found at Chusan,\n\nIts geographical position at the central point and to windward of the coast of China-opposite the great Yang-tze-kiang river-within twenty-four hours' communication with Nankin and the other large cities and towns on the borders of that vast artery of the Chinese empire, whose trade may thereby be immediately and effectually controlled; its proximity to the Peiho and Yellow rivers; its secure haven and spacious harbours around; the ample size, great fertility, numerous agricultural population, healthy climate, capability of contributing a revenue to meet an adequate civil establishment, and perfect adaptation for a naval and military station-all indicate its importance as a position by which England can maintain peaceful relations, and at the same time develop her trade with China, with Japan, Corea, Mantchouria, and the neighbouring islands.\n\nThese, and various other considerations, all point out the advantage\n\nCHUSAN COMPARED.\n\n71\n\nof our being permanently established at Chusan, whence a single war-steamer could, in twenty-four hours, be prepared to stop the fleet of 6000 grain junks, bearing each 2000 peculs of grain, valued at 2 dollars per pecul, or the 24,000,000 taels of silver which annually pass the Yang-tze-kiang to Pekin, and thus avoid the grievous calamity of another war.\n\nI have endeavoured, Sir, briefly, though I fear very imperfectly, to bring this subject under your earnest and early examination, because I know of no question connected with the eastern hemisphere which involves higher considerations for England, particularly if we reflect that the condition of one-third of the human race is interested therein, and that a weighty and solemn responsibility rests on England with regard to her position in China.\n\nI believe it to be for the interest of China, more than even for that of England, that Chusan were a British colony; and that but a brief period will elapse ere the Celestial Government, whether Tartar or Chinese, will rejoice that they have a powerful, equitable, and friendly nation so adjacent to their shores,-one whose main object is peaceful and profitable commerce,--who desire no territorial aggrandizement,- and whose best interests are identified with the tranquillity, prosperity, and independence of the Government of China.\n\nThe dispatch of an Ambassador Extraordinary, of high rank and of tried ability, to the Court of China, would (especially at the present moment) be productive of beneficial results, and well worthy any expense which might be incurred. The permanent cession of Chusan to England might be one of the primary objects of such a mission; but to be successful, no person who has been formerly connected with trade, either individually or on behalf of the East India Company at Canton, should be the representative of his Sovereign--even if he possessed the statesman-like qualifications necessary to the mission, and which is exceedingly difficult for any man who has been the greater part of his life at Canton, keeping records or supplying the tea trade, to possess.\n\nBy diplomatic policy,--peaceful relations, advantageous intercourse, and a secure, profitable, and commanding position on the coast of China, may be accomplished. But the evacuation of Chusan, in December, 1845, will, in my opinion, be the precursor of a disastrous state of affairs for British interests in China.\n\nI am ready to undergo the expense and fatigue of a journey overland to England, and also the sacrifice of half my salary-if six months\n\n500",

        "content_text": "# Appendix.\n\nReport on the Island of Hong Kong.\n\n[ 22 ]\n\nof capturing Hong Kong, for it would be valueless to them; and if mere glory were sought by the acquisition, they must be aware the fame would be of short continuance, as troops and ships from India, from Australia, and from all our stations eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, would soon recapture the place or starve out the garrison.\n\nBut Gibraltar is differently circumstanced; it effectually commands the narrow entrance to the Mediterranean, and, together with the fortresses and havens of Malta and Corfu, gives England a preponderating power in that great European sea, which is becoming daily of more and more value in her intercourse with the Anglo-Eastern empire. Moreover, Gibraltar is a valuable commercial entrepôt; at one period 1,000,000l. sterling of cotton goods were exported through Gibraltar into Spain.\n\nAs a fortress, Gibraltar is perfect; it is impregnable. The revenue of Gibraltar is fully adequate to its civil government, and averages upwards of 30,000l. per annum; the military expenses incurred by garrisoning Gibraltar saves the constant maintenance of a large fleet in the Mediterranean, preserves the balance of power, and materially helps to keep the peace of Europe. The remarks applicable to Gibraltar are also applicable to Malta and the Ionian Islands, both of which stations not only pay their whole civil expenditure, without one shilling charge on the British Exchequer, but also contribute a considerable sum annually towards military defences and protection. Both of these places are also entrepôts of a large trade. Every colony of the British empire pays for its own civil government, except small sums which are voted annually in part aid for the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Falkland Islands, St. Helena, and Heligoland; but all these places are intrinsically valuable: the Bahamas for the geographical position of their harbours; Bermuda as a strong fortress and dockyard in the Western Atlantic; the Falkland Islands for their important position and fisheries in the Great Southern Ocean, near Cape Horn; St. Helena as a strong fortress and recruiting station for our numerous ships doubling the Cape of Good Hope in their voyages to and from India, China, and Australasia; and in the event of war the possession of St. Helena would be of great value to our merchants, and save us a large fleet in the Atlantic. Heligoland, during the late European war, was a large commercial depôt for the Elbe and the northern parts of Europe. Its expense is only about 500l. a year. Numerous as are the colonies of the British empire, they are each of some utility to England; for their territorial extent as emigration fields to provide employment for a surplus population; for their productions of sugar, coffee, corn, cotton, silk, indigo, timber, oil, wool, &c.; as maritime positions or military posts; as trading emporiums or fishing stations. I have in vain sought one valuable quality in Hong Kong, for there are other good harbours around, and for 200 years we have not found the want of such. I can see no justification for the British Government spending one shilling on Hong Kong.\n\nReligions and Social Influence.-The benefits derivable from our laws, institutions, and religion can never be conferred on the Chinese by our colonization of Hong Kong.\n\nWe are here, in fact, almost as much isolated from China, its people, and supreme government, as if we were located in the Eastern Archipelago. By the adroit policy adopted by the Chinese authorities, a \"cordon sanitaire,\" if I may so express it, has been drawn around Hong Kong; no Chinaman is permitted to come here willingly, except he be a thief, a pirate, or a spy. No respectable Chinese, with their families, locate themselves in Hong Kong; if they did, their relations still remaining on the main land would probably be \"squeezed,\" imprisoned, tortured, and considered as traitors to the Celestial Empire.\n\nHong Kong is viewed by the Chinese as a spot where adventurers and reckless characters may make something out of the English, and where burglars and robbers may resort with impunity, and live upon the profits of their villainy.\n\nI am strongly of opinion, from circumstances that have come to my knowledge, that the mandarins view with indulgence all vagabonds who propose to quit their own country and proceed to Hong Kong; that in fact direct encouragement is afforded them to do so; it is therefore the height of improbability to suppose that the possession of Hong Kong will ever enable us to disseminate our religion, language, and institutions in the Chinese empire. For 200 years we have had extensive and profitable intercourse with Canton, without our missionaries and other good men ever producing the slightest effect on the people or government. The inhabitants of the southern districts are decidedly hostile to us, and are daily becoming more and more filled with a deadly animosity, which the possession of Hong Kong will not remove. No converts are made by our missionaries on this island, but were such the case no converts from Hong Kong would be favourably viewed by the respectable Chinese on the main land. The Christian converts would be considered as coming from an island of thieves and pirates; they would be received with a suspicion which would check rather than advance the progress of Christianity. The missionaries with whom I have conversed take this view of the subject; they consider it hopeless to attempt the spread of Christian doctrines in China by means of converts from Hong Kong, Thus, in a religious aspect, Hong Kong is as valueless as it is on financial and commercial grounds.\n\nWere our colonial authority and establishment at some island or position to the north, near the central regions of China, we should most probably obtain considerable moral influence\n\n[ 23 ]\n\nAppendix.\n\nReport on the Island of Hong Kong.\n\ninfluence over an intelligent and respectable class of Chinese, who would communicate their favourable ideas to other and distant parts of the empire, and by extending a knowledge of our language pave the way for the introduction of Christianity. An English city at Chusan, for example, surrounded by an extensive agricultural population (the best disposed and most orderly in China, as well as elsewhere), and evincing all the benefits of the science and skill of Europe, would have a remarkable effect on the Chinese, whose inquisitiveness and imitative powers would soon induce them to copy those things which would conduce to their physical, and ultimately to their moral and religious improvement.\n\nIn a Political Point of View.-Hong Kong was occupied by our troops and merchants in 1840-41, at a period when our trade was driven from Canton; when we were in hostility to the Chinese government, and when the Portuguese authorities at Macao had expressed their inability to permit, as usual, British residence and resort to that port. At this period the views of Captain Elliot were solely directed toward Canton. Hong Kong was then deemed the most eligible spot for British occupation, on political and military grounds; and so it proved, as long as the operations were being directed against Canton and we were excluded from China; but on our proceeding to the north, occupying Chusan, and ultimately making peace, and opening five ports, including Canton, for free commercial resort, English residence, and the establishment of a ship of war at each, the political and mercantile value of Hong Kong entirely ceased. The late war has shown us the vulnerable point of China, namely, the Yang-tze-kang river, which is aptly denominated by the Chinese, \"the Girdle of the Empire.\" In the event of any future hostilities our force would be directed at once towards Nankin, and other places on the Yang-tze-Kang river, and not against Canton. It is by interrupting the supplies of grain and salt to Pekin, and cutting off the trade of the great artery, or grand canal, that we can with the least expenditure of blood or treasure terminate hostilities with China.\n\nTo accomplish this most desirable result Hong Kong is utterly valueless. Our position must be Chusan, from its contiguity to the scene of war, from its comparative salubrity, safe haven, and capability of supplying provisions, both from the resources of the island itself, and from the contiguous coasts. A fleet of ships of war and transports may rendezvous at Chusan, and select at will the most fitting period of the year for offensive operations. No attack need be apprehended from the Chinese. Coal is abundant in the Yang-tze-kang, for the use of steamers. Ships from Singapore and the southward can now, by reason of a greater knowledge of the winds and currents, reach Chusan, even against the Monsoon, in nearly the same time they would occupy in reaching Hong Kong; and finally the Chinese government, aware of our position, would be the less disposed to break the peace, and would cease to rely so much as they now do on the strength of the forts in the Canton river. The policy of the Chinese government is to keep foreigners at the extremity of the empire; but the sagacious reasons which dictate this policy ought to render us the more anxious to operate in a counter direction. There are now seven fortifications, very strong, and apparently well provided with artillery, at the Bogue. With Chinese gunners these forts would prove, even at present, formidable to an invading force; but well manned by European or American artillerymen, the Bogue might be made almost as impregnable as the Dardanelles.\n\nOn a review of the whole case, there are no assignable grounds for the political or military occupancy of Hong Kong, even if there were no expense attending that occupancy. The government of China is sufficiently civilized to respect the persons and property of British subjects at Canton, before any declaration of war took place, which, however, is an event of very remote probability for many years to come, if we retain Chusan; and as the treaty with China provides for the stationing of a ship of war at Wampoa or Canton, a better security is thus provided for any British residents at Canton than Hong Kong could afford. The climate of Hong Kong will not admit of the island being made a garrison for our troops; and in the event of another war with China, an invading army must proceed from India, unless we keep a small military and naval establishment at Chusan; but a very small effective force can be maintained here, unless at an enormous expense; and the impracticability of fortifying an island which is commanded by the hills around, and by any large battery erected on the opposite shore, is now generally acknowledged, and is in further corroboration of the inutility of Hong Kong.\n\nOn a review of the whole question, and examining the island in all respects, making every allowance for the newness of the settlement, and admitting, for argument sake, that ultimately there may be some trade at Hong Kong, it appears to me very advisable, if Hong Kong be retained as a British station or colony, that the civil establishment of the colony be cut down to a scale commensurate with the resources and wants of the island; and that the supernumerary officers be provided for in other colonies, as vacancies occur; that the European and Sepoy troops be removed, and a portion of the first Ceylon regiment (Malays) be kept at Hong Kong, in aid of the civil power; that a frigate or sloop of war be always stationed in the harbour, with an extra complement of marines, to be landed only in case of emergency; that the British, and other respectable inhabitants who are householders, be formed into a municipal body, with power to assess themselves for the police, lighting, drainage, and street-making, &c. of Victoria; that the harbour be a free port,\n\nopen",

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.

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.

T. DAVIES, Chairman**\n\nMonday, 17th May instant, at 10.30. Present, Both Members.\n\n**FRANCIS INNES HAZELAND, Esq., Solicitor**,-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I was present in the Court of Petty Sessions, when Mr Hoey was examined before you by Mr Day. He stated on oath on cross-examination by Mr Kingsmill, that he knew Dr Bridges had a direct interest in the Opium Monopoly.\n\nChairman,-When I tell you that I am convinced that Mr Hoey swore nothing to that effect, but simply to the effect that he knew that Dr Bridges took a great interest in the Opium Monopoly or Ordinance, do you adhere to your statement?\n\nWitness, I do; because I took it down at the time; because I heard it, not because Mr Day told me. Mr Day said, \"you've put it down, haven't you?\" Mr Day I believe did not tell me what Mr Hoey had said.\n\n[JUNE 19, 1858]\n\n**AMBROSE PARSONS, Esq.,**-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.-On the 1st or 2d March, I think-and I have taken considerable pains to ascertain the date, at my office Chun-tai-kwong came to me alone; he said \"I believe I know now who is to have the Opium Monopoly, and I want to engage your services.\" We talked on the subject for a little time, on the assumption that he was certainly to get it, though he did not state so. I told him I could not tell what my services would cost him, because I did not know what business was likely to arise out of it. I said, \"you had better give me a general retainer, and then we may be able to make some arrangement for doing the business for a round sum annually.\" He then said, \"I hope it will turn out well, for a large sum is to be paid for it.\" He named some sum, I do not know what; my impression was that his tender had been accepted from the general tenor of his conversation, and not because he directly told me so. I certainly considered that he had retained me to act for him as solicitor in the Opium business. He was an old client of mine, and I had a great respect for him. I certainly should have refused a retainer in the business for anybody else. Indeed, a day or two after, I told Mr Day that I had been retained. I think Chun-tai-kwong called on me once or twice after this, but I had no further conversation with him on the subject, until I found that proceedings had been taken on his behalf in the Opium business, for which I was not engaged. I made inquiries from which I found that in these proceedings Mr Hoey was acting for him.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I was present when Mr Hoey was examined before you in the Court of Petty Sessions. I recollect that he stated on cross-examination by Mr Kingsmill that he had not told Dr Bridges (when he was at the Government Offices to sign the bond connected with the Opium Monopoly) that he (Hoey) had no interest in it. Mr Kingsmill pressed him strongly on this point. This appeared to irritate Mr Hoey exceedingly. Mr Kingsmill then asked Hoey why he did not tell Dr Bridges he (Hoey) had an interest in it. Hoey made no direct reply, but as it appeared to me, he in great anger blurted out, \"because I knew he had an interest in it himself.\" Mr Kingsmill asked no further questions on this point; and when it came to my turn as Counsel for Hoey, I considered that statement so irrelevant to the case that I did not re-examine upon it. Although I do not know whatever Hoey uttered these words,\n\nIn answer to Mr Dent,-No comment was made on this statement of Hoey's by anyone.\n\n**JOHN DAY, Esq.,**-Called in and examined.\n\n...me to be very bitter against Dr Bridges at the time, as I supposed that it was at Dr Bridges's instigation that the proceedings in the Court were taken against him; so that his statement seemed to me suggested by this feeling, and the words themselves were so vague and ambiguous, that they might have been interpreted in a variety of ways, and that it was impossible for me or anyone else to say whether the word \"interest\" referred to Dr Bridges's interest as Counsel, interest as Monopolist, or interest as legislator. I was the more convinced that in making use of those words he was actuated by a hostile feeling, because this was no answer to the question put to him.\n\nChairman. When I tell you that I, the presiding magistrate on the occasion referred to, am convinced that Mr Hoey simply stated to the effect that Dr Bridges took a great interest in the Opium Ordinance, do you adhere to your statement?\n\nMr Day, I am convinced that I am correct in my statement. I told Mr Hazeland to take Mr Hoey's words down. I think I did not repeat the words, but simply said \"take this down.\" I should wish to state to the Committee the circumstances under which I told the Attorney General that Hoey had made this statement. The Attorney General (who had to my knowledge been consulted by Hoey on the case on which I appeared before you,) showed me the draft of a letter he had written to the Government, in which he stated from memory words which he said he had before taken down from Hoey's mouth, and which he (the Attorney General,) had been informed Hoey had since denied. I said I could well believe that Hoey had made such a statement, and that he had done so under the influence of strong feeling against Dr Bridges, for having, as he supposed, instigated the proceedings in the Court of Petty Sessions against him; and I mentioned as a reason for my thinking so, the fact that he had sworn before the Court of Petty Sessions what I have stated to the Committee, and that he was evidently on that occasion actuated by the same feelings as I attributed to him when making the statement to the Attorney General.\n\n**RAFAEL ROZARIO**,-Called on and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I am Interpreter at the Magistracy. By your direction I called at Mr Hoey's at 10.30 to-day. I saw his brother, his barkeeper. He told me that Mr Hoey had left this morning in the Williamette steamer \"for Macao or Canton, or wherever the steamer went.\" He said he did not know when Mr Hoey could be back.\n\nBy Mr Dent. I have asked Chun-tai-kwong why he deserted me in the matter; he did not give me any answer. I do not know that Dr Bridges acted in the case of Chun-tai-kwong in a different manner and one more strongly infringing...\n\nit had cost him. He was dissatisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court in his case, and said that he thought the government had not used him well-that they had not properly supported him.\n\n**MR DOUGLAS LAPRAIK**.-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman.—I am an inhabitant of long-standing in this place. I am acquainted with trade and business in various branches. [Mr Glatz's letter (1) handed to witness]. I do not consider this a tender at all. I should not only consider myself justified in rejecting, but bound to reject, such a proposal or offer; it is not a tender at all. I have been accustomed to see tenders of all kinds, and in great numbers, and I know the practice with regard to tenders here. I have nothing to state in reference to the subject of your inquiry, except perhaps that Chun-tai-kwong told me a few evenings ago, that after all he expected to clear $20,000 by the business.\n\n**CHARLES GLATZ**.-Called in and examined.\n\nsent this in to government. I have in no respect to complain of the conduct of the Acting Colonial Secretary in reference to the grant of the Opium Monopoly.\n\n**THE REGISTRAR GENERAL**.-Called in and examined.\n\nBy the Chairman. The first occasion on which I spoke to any of Chun-tai-kwong's partners about the Opium grant, was about the 13th March. I cannot speak positively. I do not know the name of the man to whom I spoke, but I had seen him often before. He is a Rice-merchant here. He said to me on that occasion, that his firm had tendered, and he wanted to know whether his tender had been accepted. This was at my office. I told him I knew nothing about it. A day or two after the last day for tendering Dr Bridges sent for me here, and asked me to make inquiry as to the Chuen-lee Company, whose tender he told me was the highest. I ascertained who they were through the man I have just referred to. I did not know that Chun-tai-kwong was a member of the firm, until the Rice-merchant told me so. I do not know whether Dr Bridges knew Chun-tai-kwong before; my impression is that he did not, because he asked me about him.\n\n| Witness        | Statement                                                                                           |\n|---------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| ...           | ...                                                                                                |\n| YEONG-A-CHEW  | By the Chairman-I am surety for Chun-tai-kwong in the bond connected with the Opium Monopoly...    |\n\nBy Mr Dent-When I signed the second bond as surety, Chun-tai-kwong was with me, and it was at Dr Bridges's House.\n\n**DR BRIDGES**.-Recalled, and examined.\n\nwas mentioned, I said he was good for $10,000. I never had never seen Chun-tai-kwong anywhere before the day I have mentioned, when I went with the message from Mr Caldwell, and therefore of course not at Dr Bridges's house, nor had I seen him anywhere with Dr Bridges. I was myself suggested to any of Chun-tai-kwong's firm, or to anyone connected with it, to tender for this Monopoly. I never suggested doing so to anyone, except a Canton man, whose tender stood second on the list, and also I told two Opium-shop-keepers here (who had come to me to recommend that it should be disposed of by auction) that they had better tender, as it had been decided to do the business by tender.\n\n...since I went to Macao about a month ago, no communication whatever has taken place between Dr Bridges and myself. Dr Bridges's coolie called upon me to-day, and told me Dr Bridges wished me to come up here.\n\n**YEONG-A-CHEW**.--Examined.\n\nBy the Chairman-I am surety for Chun-tai-kwong in the bond connected with the Opium Monopoly. I told Chun-tai-kwong that the License was to be granted to his firm. I knew this because Mr Caldwell sent for me, and asked me whether I was security for the Chuen-lee, and then told me the Chuen-lee had obtained the License.\n\n...I have known A-hoong for ten years, and Chun-tai-kwong for four years. Chun-tai-kwong and A-hoong can only have become acquainted lately, because I know that A-hoong came to me after Chun-tai-kwong had got the License, and said he wished I would introduce him to Chun-tai-kwong, as he wished to have a share in the License, to put in a Four Hundred Dollars.\n\nBy the Chairman.-I cannot tell what day exactly Chun-tai-kwong first spoke about the retainer to me. It was after the 17th March. The retainer-$400--was paid in my dining-room on the day of the fire. I think on the day on which the second bond was signed here.\n\n...I am certain I showed the tenders to Mr Lyall, to yourself, I believe, and generally and openly. The tender list was passed round the Council table on the 17th March, the day on which the Opium Ordinance was passed. I deny entirely that there was any reference whatever to \"cumshaw,\" as connected with the $400 retaining fee; there could not be.\n\n**OW-A-HOONG**.-Called in and examined.\n\nIn answer to Mr Dent.-The only person connected with Chun-tai-kwong's firm I had ever known before, was the surety A-chew.\n\nChairman.-What was it that Mr Hoey wrote in your room on this occasion?\n\nWitness. The paper which Mr Caldwell mentions that Mr Hoey wrote in my room, I now produce (paper 0.). On the occasion of his being questioned at my office about the statements in the Attorney General's letter, he was asked about the draft letter of the Attorney General; he said he thought he had it, and pulled a number of papers out of his pocket. I believe he did not succeed in finding it.\n\nIn answer to Mr Dent,-I want it distinctly to be understood, that the fee I charged Chun-tai-kwong was not a high one; it was not simply a retaining fee, it was a consulting fee for a year. I thought this plan better than charging a separate fee for every time Chun-tai-kwong might come and consult me; it was a less fee than I mentioned to Dent & Co. last year for somewhat similar business. I have spoken to Mr Day on the subject, and he told me that he considered the fee much too small a one.",

        "content_text": "## 492\n\n(80)\n\nMr. Lapraik. The arrest was by Mr. Caldwell. Lün Cheong, I was Gaoler at the time of Eli Boggs' trial, and attended the prisoner, said that during Ma-chow Wong's investigation at the Magistrate's Office, Ma-chow Wong's family was living with him. One day he went home and said to Ma-chow Wong's wife that very likely Ma-chow Wong's case would be committed to the Supreme Court, and that Ma-chow Wong's wife was not pleased; he also said that some of the men had petitioned on behalf of Ma-chow Wong, and had gone round the town to get shops' signatures; that he himself being a native of Sunon refused to go to get signatures. Because of this he says Ma-chow Wong's wife had an ill-feeling towards him; he said he believed that Ma-chow Wong's wife herself complained to Mr. Caldwell, and for that reason he believes that he was prosecuted.\n\nI took down the depositions in Court as Gaoler on the occasion of his trial. To the Supreme Court, a tin box containing articles belonging to him was brought. I received the tin box from the Police, but do not recollect from which officer. It was placed on the table at the Court. I do not remember what was in it, nor do I remember anything being taken out. I was present when Eli Boggs made his defence. I think he had some papers in his hand. I don't remember whether he read from them. I am not certain whether the box was handed over to the Police: after the trial, if it had been taken back to the Gaol, it would have been deposited in the Store-room. I have never seen it since. I do not remember seeing or hearing at the trial any paper containing Mr. Caldwell's name read. I heard Mr. Caldwell's name mentioned by Boggs in his defence.\n\nCross-examined,—I recollect the examination in the Gaol Yard of the men who were sent to Hainan. There was a great number of men apprehended in Bonham Strand, some of whom were put in the Debtor's Gaol, and some in the Mill Yard. I remember a large number of these men being examined in the Debtor's Gaol Yard.\n\nI have heard from Kwei Ch'oi, a Chinese female, that she was sent for by Mrs. Caldwell. Mrs. Caldwell said, \"people are saying that you gave me a gold bangle. Did you give it me or not.\" Kwei Ch'oi replied that she had not given her one. I have not heard of any other person being sent for.\n\nCross-examined,—I went to Kwei Ch'oi's house on the occasion I speak of. I visit her now and then. I think this was about a fortnight ago, but I heard the report from several other women before. I did not go to her house for the purpose of questioning her about this. I asked her whether she had put a gold chain into a loaf of bread, and sent it as a present to Mrs. Caldwell. She said \"No.\" I asked about the gold chain because I had heard of it. I haven't heard about the intimidation of witnesses who were to appear before this Commission, but judge from my own arrest. I told Mr. May when asked that I was afraid to come before the Commission to say anything against Mr. Caldwell; if I should, no doubt I would get into trouble. I also heard that a man conversing with another said, \"I hear that Assow is going to give evidence against Mr. Caldwell; if he should, he will not get clear off himself.\" This man was the Chinese Sergeant of Police, Lo Ahing. I think it was about the beginning of last month that I was arrested.\n\nI do not remember the Attorney General being present. I remember Mr. May and Mr. Caldwell. The prisoners deported to Hainan were mustered by Mr. May—the list drawn up—and Mr. May and Mr. Cluff were present. I do not recollect the Attorney General or Mr. Caldwell being present. Mr. Caldwell came to me the day after and inquired about two men who had been sent away, who ought not to have been sent. Mr. Caldwell had nothing that I am aware of to do with the deportation of these men; it was conducted by Mr. May, who was then Acting Sheriff and Superintendent of Police. Mr. Caldwell mentioned the names of two men, but I do not remember the names. After I told him that they were gone, he appeared to be angry, and my reply to the best of my recollection was that I could not help myself, and that I was acting under the orders of my superior Mr. May.\n\nI made out a rough draft of the list of prisoners to be deported, and these were finally arranged by Mr. May. This occasion, on the morning of their embarkation, is to my knowledge the only one on which the prisoners were mustered.\n\nLEONARDO D'ALMADA E CASTRO, Called and examined.\n\nRe-examined,—I have never as Gaoler had reason to remark or complain upon the great number of commitments or liberations on warrants signed by Mr. Caldwell under the deportation ordinance. There was only one occasion on which we were very much overcrowded with prisoners. I think that about that time a great many prisoners were received from several justices. I think there were no more upon Mr. Caldwell's warrant than upon others. Mr. Caldwell has never, during my service as Gaoler, interfered in any way with the Gaol, the prisoners, or the officers. There was a difficulty in mustering the men for deportation, the names which some of them gave being different from those on the list, and I think that Mr. May called Mr. Cluff to interpret. I did not see Mr. Anstey present.\n\n[The proceedings of the several meetings of the Executive Council at which reference was made to the case of Ma-chow Wong were read to the Commission by permission of His Excellency the Governor, from which it appeared that Mr. Morgan was examined previously to Mr. May, and that the Council finally decided on rejecting the prayer of the Petition for the release of Ma-chow Wong, upon a perusal of the translation by Mr. Wade of the papers found on Beaver; Mr. Wade stating that he had not had time in any way to examine the papers referred to in Mr. May's memoranda.]\n\n## ROBERT EDWARD MACKENZIE, Called and examined.\n\nI am Clerk of Councils and Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office. I did not officiate as Clerk of Councils when the enquiry concerning Ma-chow Wong was being made by the Executive Council. My brother, who is now sick, officiated.\n\n## CHARLES MAY, Recalled at his own request.\n\n(81)\n\nI recollect the man Feaver being brought before me charged with piracy. Mr. Caldwell was the first witness and stated that from documentary evidence, which he would produce on a future day, he would show the prisoner's confederation was with pirates. I have referred to the depositions in the case, and I have no hesitation in stating my conviction that the case was grossly mismanaged, and that Beaver ought to have taken his position at the bar of the Supreme Court, and as far as I was concerned as sitting Magistrate, would have been committed had the documents been produced before me. The Acting Colonial Secretary in his evidence states that one of his reasons—I think he says his chief reason for referring Ma-chow Wong papers and books to Mr. Wade for re-examination, was to ascertain whether credibility was to be attached to Mr. Caldwell's translation, or to any memoranda, inasmuch as that was a thing apart from Ma-chow Wong's case. The destruction of the papers and books placed the settlement of that question beyond possibility.\n\n## WOHANG, Broker, Called and examined.\n\nI remember a Pawnbroker of the Foo Tai shop, in which I had a share, being convicted of receiving a stolen watch. I remember after he was convicted a petition being presented to the Governor for his pardon. His sentence was remitted from 14 to 2 years. A partner of the pawn-shop came to me and said that if I would pay a few hundreds of dollars to Shaplok, the man would be let off. He wanted me to write a paper to the effect that I would pay this money to Shaplok. Mr. Lane was in my shop at the time and advised me not to sign. I have never paid any money. It was before the trial at the Supreme Court that this man came. I do not know if anyone paid any money. The man came again, and I said \"it is no use saying anything about it, I will have nothing to do with it.\"\n\nThere has been no communication within the last month and a half from Mrs. Caldwell to me, or anyone belonging to my house, regarding this matter. I have heard of the present inquiry from Wong Ashing. I do not know who prepared the two petitions. After signature, one was brought up here and handed to one of the Chinese in the office, who gave it to Dr. Bridges, who directed it to be taken to Mr. Caldwell. It was accordingly taken to Mr. Caldwell, who told me to leave it with him. I do not know whether Mr. Caldwell supported it. When my partner asked me why I did not pay the money to Shaplok, I went to Mr. Caldwell and asked whether I had a right to pay the money to Shaplok. He answered, \"No, I did not authorize it.\" When my partner spoke about the payment to be made to Shaplok, he did not mention either Mr. Caldwell's or Mrs. Caldwell's name. I have not seen Shaplok for about a year.\n\nShaplok is acquainted with a good many people in the colony, but whether she is related to Mrs. Caldwell or not I cannot say. After the prisoner was in Gaol under sentence, the other pawnshop man came to me and told me that the money should be given to Shaplok, and that she would ask someone to take the case in hand; my partner did not say whom she would engage, and did not mention Mr. or Mrs. Caldwell's name. I did not suppose that Mr. Caldwell was concerned in it. I went to Mr. Caldwell because he was Protector of Chinese, and I took the petition there. It was after the case was decided at the Supreme Court.\n\n## JOHN ROBERTS, Recalled.\n\nI remember being instructed by Mr. May to take possession of a lorcha off Wanchi, which was supposed to be the Alma. I did seize her and found that she was not the Alma. I found about 36 cannon on board; there were certainly not less. I suppose she could carry about 2,000 piculs cargo. Some of the guns were mounted, and some were dismounted, lying forward. From what I was told on board, I went to Mr. Caldwell's office and saw Mr. Caldwell. There was with him at the time a man whom I did not know, but whom I have since known as Ma-chow Wong. Mr. Caldwell told me he had sold the lorcha and then commenced talking with the Chinaman, and told me she was not the Alma. I inquired about the guns. I don't recollect if he said to whom he had sold her, but it was evident from the manner in which he spoke and referred my inquiries concerning the guns to the Chinaman, that the latter was the owner or agent of the lorcha. I inquired about the guns, and Mr. Caldwell spoke to the Chinaman, and said they were guns of two junks which were either repairing or had been lost on the coast. I told him that it was not the Alma, and I would report it to Mr. May. After I left the office, this Chinaman came out and asked me if it would be necessary for the men to go to the Police Court, and I told him no. I then reported it to Mr. May and had the Police withdrawn.\n\nCross-examined.—Mr. Caldwell asked if there was a large vessel alongside, and I said that there was a lighter alongside, into which I thought they were going to hoist the guns. There are always a number of vessels at Wanchi.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\n## TWENTY FIRST DAY\n\nSaturday, 10th July, at 12 o'clock Noon. Present. All the Members except the Hon. Mr. Davies.\n\n## JOHN BROWN COMPTON, Called and examined.\n\nI have resided in China since January 1834. I knew Mr. Caldwell when he first came to Canton, about July or August...",

Once, like the raven from the Ark, we found in the days of war no rest in all the world for the soles of our feet; now, like Noah's dove, we may pluck the olive leaves of peace wherever we will. To civilize the world through commerce, and stretch forth the hands of brethren to all the nations of the globe, is a mighty work, which God has largely given to our nation to effect, and he has laid the duty specially and honourably on those represented by you.\n\nBut why do I trouble you with my words! Was there not a parable spoken more than 1800 years ago, in answer to him who asked, \"Who is my neighbour?\" Did not the lawyer, the physician—even the clergyman—pass by him that had fallen among thieves, and leave the Samaritan merchant to interrupt his business journey, and help the unfortunate? Is it not curious to come across so minute a piece of ancient business-detail; the pouring of oil and wine into the wounds; the payment in ready money to the innkeeper of as much as could be spared from the scantily-filled travelling purse; the bond for further expenses which might be incurred by the sick man, and which the merchant should repay when he returned with the monies which he expected to receive? And do not all nations since call that merchant the Good Samaritan? Yes! and that parable was spoken by Him who, with his divine hands, handled the carpenter's tools, and in thus honouring the humblest handicraft, left us, as in all else, an example that we should follow his steps.",

I inquired about the guns, and Mr Caldwell spoke to the Chinaman, and said they were guns of two junks which were either repairing or had been lost on the coast.\n\nCross-examined-Mr Caldwell asked if there was a large vessel alongside, and I said that there was a lighter alongside, into which I thought they were going to hoist the guns. There are always a number of vessels at Wanchi.\n\nAdjourned till to-morrow at 12 o'clock.\n\nTWENTY FIRST DAY.\n\nSaturday, 10th July, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members except the Hon.

        "content_text": "C8&\n\n381\n\nAttorney General. Why so certain?\n\n(153)\n\nMr Mongan. One circumstance occurs to me which confirms my memory. They were taken to be burnt from the place where they had been lying;—and another circumstance strikes me in connection with the Caldwell Commission—I thought the books would be asked for, and they were not in existence—They could not have been on the 27th of May when the Commission first sat.\n\nAttorney General. You thought the Ma-chow Wong papers would be wanted on the Caldwell Commission! What made you think that before you were asked for them?\n\nMr Mongan.—I think such a thought crossed my mind.\n\nAttorney General.—You think such a thought crossed your mind! Now, with all these instances of inaccurate memory, can you be confident—are you confident that the destruction took place earlier than May?\n\nMr Mongan. I am sure it was before the 14th of April.\n\nAttorney General.—In your depositions at the Police Court you said that during your absence at Canton the Ma-chow Wong books and papers were bona fide in the custody of the office servants;—and on another occasion you said you felt sure you had not got all the papers—what made you think that?\n\n(152)\n\n[Sensation throughout the Court—the gist of the alleged libel being justified by the Crown's own witness.]\n\nAttorney General.—They were delivered to you by Mr Morrison?\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nAttorney General.—Mr Cleverly says he had written to Mr Caine the Secretary of the Superintendency, to inquire about the memoranda.\n\nAttorney General.—(After a short pause, to give the Jurors time to digest the deposition)—\"Again, you have been mistaken about Mr May's memoranda—With some of those items Mr Caldwell's report agrees, but not with a single item of Mr Caldwell's report would your teacher agree—To the Registrar\"—Ho-chun-seen—Ying-lin-tong Mr Mongan.—I never had Mr May's memoranda.—I—Sun-chok-heem—and Lo Ahee, witnesses examined at the Police Court on the part of the Crown—is it the intention of Government to call these witnesses?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nActing Attorney General.—If you wish it I will call them.\n\nMr Mongan.—I have only a slight recollection of having seen them in Mr D'Aguilar's office, and think he told me he was going to send them to Mr Wade.\n\nAttorney General.—You only think so.\n\nMr Mongan. I have only a slight recollection.\n\nAttorney General.—About what time was this?\n\nMr Mongan.—As well as I can recollect it was after the meeting of Council, about the same time that I forwarded the books and papers to Mr Wade.\n\nAttorney General.—Now what office did you hold then?\n\nMr Mongan.—I was at that time a Student Interpreter in charge of the Chinese Secretary's office. There are two rooms in that office; an outer and an inner. I have never been separated from that office.\n\nAttorney General—Well, you (Mr Mongan) know what evidence they gave, and that the principal contradicted Mr Caldwell in almost every—I may say every particular.\n\nMr Mongan. I haven't read Mr Caldwell's evidence.\n\nAttorney General. Referring particularly to Mr Caldwell's report on the books (page 104 supra) of every item they say they cannot tell how or where he got them from I will read, and after hearing their evidence you will be so good as to make correction of any discrepancy (reads).\n\nAttorney General.—And now I'll go on reading your evidence before the Caldwell Commission (reads)—You, Mr Mongan's teacher, Cross-examined by Mr Tarrant, (the Magistrate writes) depones \"I cannot conceive how he, Mr Caldwell, made up the 13 items comprising this report.\n\nExamined upon each separate item,—\n\n1. A bill of certain arms, such as spear heads, swords & amounting to about $50. Answer. I do not recollect.\n\n2. An entry in a book of the payment of $22 for shot. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n3. An entry in another book of the sale of Gunpowder to Te Shai amounting to $22. Answer—I do not recollect. Another entry in the same book of the purchase of Gunpowder. Answer—I do not recollect.\n\n4. An entry in another book of the advance by the Kwang Yeh-long Hong to the Sun'Sum'shing Boat, of Taels 108. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n5. A bill for shot sold the Poo-sen boat $12. Answer—I do not recollect.\n\n6. A bill from Foo-shai for the sale of one Gun to Kee Kong $130. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n7. An order on the Quang Yek-long Hong to pay $22 for Gunpowder. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n8. Two draft receipts from Wong-Akee, acknowledging to have received from Mr Caldwell the sum of $1,500, on account of Foong-hoh-shing. Answer.—I do not recollect.\n\n9. A letter addressed to Wong Akee by Lok Hing, begging him to use his endeavours to obtain the release of a Nephew...\n\nThe examination was of a cursory nature—It was not a searching examination—On the 13th of October you sent the papers to Mr Wade—On the 12th you went to the Council. There you heard Mr May's memoranda read—and there you concurred in the correctness of Mr Caldwell's translation.\n\nMr Mongan.—Mr May's memoranda were never referred to me for collation.\n\nAttorney General.—Are any of the Chinese documents which those memoranda referred to in existence.\n\nMr Mongan. Not one of them—not a paper.\n\nAttorney General—You say in your depositions at the Police Court that you saw nothing suspicious among the documents inspected—Do you confirm that?\n\nMr Mongan. I saw nothing that I recollect.\n\nAttorney General.—You say further in these depositions That Caldwell called your attention to insignificant items—did he call your attention to significant ones?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nAttorney General.—Now I will read to you Mr Caldwell's report to the Council.—\n\n\"I beg to state that the examination was conducted in the presence of Mr Mongan, assisted by his Chinese clerks, and that whatever expense was incurred would be refunded to Akee by the writer.\"\n\nNow how are we to reconcile this with what you have just now, and before deponed, that it was he, Caldwell, who handed the suspicious documents to you, not you to him?—If you left the searching for suspicious items to him how can you swear you know anything about them in the gross?\n\nMr Mongan.—I did not leave it to Mr Caldwell—Its all right with exception of your comment on it.\n\nAttorney General.—Did Mr Caldwell ask you whether the report agreed with his own notes, or with the contents of the Chinese documents?\n\nMr Mongan.—With his notes. I could concur with their general accuracy, having looked over the documents before I handed them to Mr Caldwell, and could judge of their relevancy or irrelevancy to the matter.\n\nAttorney General—One bundle never came under your eye at all, and you made only a cursory examination of the others?\n\nMr Mongan.—I confirm all that has been stated before the Magistrate; I did not leave it to Mr Caldwell to determine their relevancy; I read them over myself first.\n\nAttorney General—Was it possible for you, after such an examination, to make a faithful report as to their contents?\n\nMr Mongan.—No answer.\n\nAttorney General.—Supposing you had been called on to confirm Mr Caldwell's report, not as to his notes but as to the documents themselves—Would you have given the same answer, as to the correctness?\n\nMr Mongan.—I would.\n\nAttorney General. Very well, then we shall know what reliance is to be placed on certificates medical or otherwise—Now I'll read your other evidence (reads). All this happened in March—and the papers were destroyed in March.\n\nMr Mongan.—I have not sworn it positively.\n\nAttorney General.—Were the documents destroyed in May?\n\nMr Mongan.—I have sworn to the best of my recollection—I am certain it was not in May.\n\nAttorney General.—Dr Bridges says the burning was about six weeks before the Governor spoke to him about it, and the Governor could not have spoken to him 'till after the middle of June.\n\nMr Mongan.—I don't think I told Dr Bridges before the end of June.\n\nAttorney General. Is it not just possible that you made a mistake, and that it was only a few weeks before the fact became known that they were burnt.\n\nMr Mongan.—I am perfectly certain it was not weeks.",

        "content_text": "£88\n\n383\n\n( 149 )\n\ntion of H E, the Governor, the Hon'ble the Chief Magistrate Attorney General.—You told the Magistrate that\n\nYOU\n\n148 y\n\nd sarcasm in which that letter is couched, and tells of on those who attempt it; and it is plain, on general grounds,\n\nhas been ordered to send to you the said books, and I am directed to request you to afford Mr Caldwell every assistance in your power in the translation requested, favourable or unfavourable to the convict.—H. E. desires me to request that the books be kept in your safe custody.—I have &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ. M. D'A. E CASTRO,\n\nfor the Clerk of Councils.\n\nJAMES MONGAN, Esq.,\n\nAssistant Chinese Secretary to the Superintendency.\n\nI examined them with Mr Caldwell, and gave him assistance in making his report thereon; and when called before the Council on the 12th of October I expressed my full concurrence in the general correctness of Mr Caldwell's report. That report was made with reference to statements that had appeared in the China Mail. On the same day His Excellency told me that Mr Dixson had produced memoranda of Mr May, which seemed to bear out the statements in the Newspaper. He directed me to hand over all the books and papers in my custody to Mr Wade. I handed them over to him on the next day, 13th of October, having first carefully tied them up with red tape, and sealed them, after which I supposed that I had done with the documents.\n\nCourt. Did you discover your error?\n\nMr Mongan. Yes; about four months afterwards, About the beginning of March, on arriving at my office, I found them there. They were exactly in the same state as when I handed them over.\n\nCourt. What next took place?\n\nMr Mongan. About three or four weeks after I went to Sir John Bowring, and asked him what was to be done with them. He referred me to Dr Bridges. I went to Dr Bridges; and asked him the same question. He said, as nearly as I can remember, \"Oh they are mere rubbish you may burn them.\" I went down at once and burned them. I know nothing more.\n\nCourt. You know nothing more about them?\n\nMr Mongan. The next I knew was reading in the Overland Register that I had written a letter about them; and His Excellency asked me if I had written it. I said no.\n\nCross-examined by the Attorney General.—(Counsel for the Defendant.) You were examined no less than three times at the Magistrate's Court?\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nAttorney General.—As a witness for the Government? Mr Mongan.—Yes.\n\nAttorney General.—You told the Governor that the books were encumbering your office;—what books?\n\nMr Mongan.—I did not say so.\n\nAttorney General.—Do you remember that letter being read in the Council?\n\nDr Bridges. I think I do.\n\nAttorney General.—In commenting on the letter, Mr Davies says that it would be found Mr Mitchell's observations agreed with his; and that he has had far greater means of knowing the opinions of the Chinese regarding matters to which his attention was not at the time particularly directed. But have you not repeatedly forgotten things in matters which you have afterwards remembered?\n\nMr Mongan. No, not that I can recollect; I may have spoken on some other occasion the evidence I have just given.\n\nAttorney General.—Now were there any steps taken by your Government—for Mr Mongan. No...\n\n...\n\nAttorney General.—Haven't you said at one time what you did not remember at another?\n\nMr Mongan.—No.\n\nAttorney General.—Let me read to you what you said before the Caldwell Commission (page 41 supra) At the Police Court, again, you said the papers were an incumbrance to your office, and the defendant then asked in what way they were an incumbrance when they, the suspicious documents, only occupied a cubic foot or so.\n\nMr Mongan. Yes they were an incumbrance.\n\nAttorney General.—In what way?\n\nMr Mongan. Because they were out of place there. We do not keep the records of the Police Court in the Chinese Secretary's Office.\n\nDr Bridges.—I am not aware that Caldwell has been guilty of iniquities.\n\nAttorney General. You are not aware of any iniquities—I am glad of that answer. Now we know the measure of the morality of your Government. Then, perhaps, Dr Bridges will inform the Jury what kind of a libel that must be to bring such a Government into contempt. That, gentlemen of the Jury, is the morality of the Hongkong Government. (Re-reading the passage from Legaré's diary at page 130 supra)—Do you, Dr Bridges, remember when you sent that to the Friend of China whether you wrote your own hand or anonymously?\n\nDr Bridges.—I don't remember how I wrote—If the printer knew it was my hand writing it was a breach of confidence in him to let it be seen.\n\nAttorney General.—You had divided those papers into suspicious and non-suspicious documents?\n\nMr Mongan.—At the time that I received the books I sorted them for examination, and then I divided them into two lots. I took them out of the baskets as they came to hand. Those which bore upon statements in the China Mail, I put on one side; those that did not bear on such statements I put on the other side—that was the division I made.\n\nCourt. Without reference to suspicion.\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes, my Lord.\n\nExamination of Dr Bridges, ended at 4.55 P.M.\n\n[This was another of the articles referred to by the Attorney General at page 132 supra, as illustrative of the publicity given to proceedings in Executive Council.] \"A short time ago, we heard some talk about a petition being up against the suspension of Mr Anstey, and in this connection there were freely used the names of parties, who, we are sure, would never dream of mixing themselves up with such affair, after they had carefully perused the evidence which came before the Caldwell Commission. There was, we understand, but one opinion in the Executive Council as to the necessity of this suspension, and the step was taken on a variety of grounds. Among these was one on which the public is not, and cannot expect at present, be a competent judge—namely, the replies made by Anstey to the Council's requests for an explanation of his speeches before the Commission. Further, these speeches of which some incorrect reports appeared in local papers were so insulting to the Governor and the Colony...\n\n...\n\nAttorney General.—Well, then, I'll now read what you swore to at the Police Court (reads from page 107 supra) \"The whole of my inspection consisted in assorting suspicious documents. The latter were put back into the bundles or baskets from which they were originally taken, and the former were handed to Mr Caldwell. Now is that true or not true?\n\nMr Mongan.—The former were handed to Mr Caldwell...\n\n...\n\nthe flesh, and the devil, from an independent stand-point, and that he would enjoy much greater freedom and comfort in doing so, than from attempting any impossible compromise with the necessities of office. We hope and believe that a public career which commenced with impeaching the Foreign Minister of England, will not ignominously end with vainly attempting to extinguish the Registrar General of Hongkong; but we see clearly, that to regain his pristine glory, Mr Anstey must ascend from the low valley of office, and mount a Pisgah height, from whence he may pour forth his sublime denunciations on a wicked and corrupt place. Truly Hongkong has been favoured among colonies: the disinterested Hoey has walked our streets: the voice of Anstey has been heard crying in the moral wilderness; and one—the late lamented W. M. Robinet \"—has appeared from the dead, and, (fulfilling an old prediction,) instead of listening to him, we have cast him into prison —\n\nChina Mail, August 19, 1858.\"\n\nJAMES MONGAN.—SWORN.\n\nActing Attorney General.—You are, I believe, Assistant Chinese Secretary in the Superintendency of Trade.\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes. I have been Assistant Chinese Secretary since the 25th of May last—I was appointed on the 7th of April last.\n\nActing Attorney General.—Did you take part in the destruction of any documents placed in your hands for the purpose of examination?\n\nMr Mongan.—Yes, I destroyed some documents that were in my office.\n\nActing Attorney General.—Were they destroyed after deep meditation on your part, and with reference to consequences?\n\nMr Mongan. There was no meditation on my part—no reference to consequences.\n\nActing Attorney General.—Do you remember the contents of those documents?\n\nMr Mongan.—They were the books and papers belonging to the convict Ma-chow Wong, now in gaol.\n\nActing Attorney General.—Did you know that those documents were of value to any one in the public service? Mr Mongan.—I did not know they would be of any service whatever.\n\nActing Attorney General.—In what way did those documents come into your hands?\n\nMr Mongan. They were given into my custody on the 30th of September last year. This was my letter of instructions.\n\nCOUNCIL ROOM, VICTORIA, HONGKONG,\n\n28th September, 1857.\n\nSIR, Mr Caldwell having been directed to make a translation of the books found in the shop of the convict Wong Akee, alias Ma-chow Wong, I have the honor to inform you that by direction...",

In this belief, I am strengthened by the fact of the Vote for this service being included in the Colonial Estimates under the Head of \"Governor\" and not of \"Surveyor-General\". Before His Excellency's arrival, I gladly attended to these matters and should have continued to do so had I not been authoritatively ordered about the subject. I must also, though most reluctantly, place on record the following circumstances. Notwithstanding the Instructions contained in His Excellency's Memo. No. 2411 of 30th September just quoted, His Excellency has subsequently, on one occasion, come into my office and asked me why I had not attended to certain matters at Government House, and on my replying that I had not attended to any work at Government House in accordance with my instructions, has answered \"Then why haven't you?\" The same expression has been used to me on another occasion in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, on my stating that I had not personally attended to certain details because, according to the Official programme of duties, they were under Mr. Clarke's charge, a programme which, by His Excellency's Memo. No. 285 of 28th January last, I am told I have no right to deviate from without the previous sanction of His Excellency.\n\n13.

Under all banners and in all latitudes, it is ours to recognise, and yours to improve, that great system by which darkness is made safe to the conscientious mariner and anxious trader.\n\nAs seamen, and men with whom Your Royal Highness has been, and will hereafter be brought in contact, we beg to take our leave of the August Master of the Trinity Corporation of Deptford-le-Stroud, earnestly praying that Your Royal Highness may, under the guidance of the Over-ruling Pilot, ever stem the currents, and weather the gales, of life's tempestuous voyage, and that when at last anchored in the Haven of Rest, all future seamen may hail your memory as that of ALFRED THE GOOD.\n\n(Signed by Fifty-eight Masters of Vessels in Hongkong.)\n\nReply of His Royal Highness.\n\nGENTLEMEN, I thank you sincerely for the Address you have presented to me, which is all the more valuable from its being a testimony by other Nationalities, as well as British, to the great value and marked utility of the ancient Institution of which I esteem it a high honour to be the Master.\n\nAccept my assurances that the interests of the profession to which we belong shall ever occupy my most careful attention, and every endeavour towards rendering more effectual and beneficial those objects which the Trinity House was founded to carry out shall meet with my most hearty support; and it will always be my aim to follow the example of my beloved Father, to which you have so gracefully alluded in your Address.\n\nALFRED.\n\n(60)",

THE GOVERNOR RESPECTING THE CONDUCT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE DURING THE LATE TYPHOON\n\nTHE following is the text of the memorial forwarded to H.E. the Governor by the Residents who condemn Capt. Deane's action during the late typhoon.\n\nHONGKONG, 5th October, 1874.\n\nTo His Excellency,\n**SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. Governor of Hongkong &c. &c. &c.**\n\nMAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,\n\nWe, the undersigned inhabitants of Hongkong, humbly beg to lay before your Excellency the following statement.\n\nThat on the night of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd ultimo, a Typhoon of unprecedented violence did much destruction to life and property in this City and Harbour.\n\nAmong the many casualties of that dreadful night, two of the most remarkable are the wrecks of the steamers Albay and Leonor.\n\nBy the mercy of Providence, and the humane exertions of some private citizens, the crew of the Albay were saved from death, but although the Leonor sank only about fifty yards from the shore, nearly 100 persons perished, and only about 12 were saved from the ship.\n\nBefore the Leonor was wrecked, it was reported at the Central Police Station to the Captain Superintendent of Police, that a number of men had been rescued from the Albay, and that another steamer was coming on shore, but although there were a large number of available men at the Station, the Captain Superintendent refused to allow any of them to go out to render assistance.\n\nAt the time when the Police were thus confined to the barracks, they were also much needed to repress robbers who were plundering shops and warehouses, which had been broken open in various parts of the town and particularly on the Praya.\n\nDuring the height of the storm, a house in the Chinese portion of the City caught fire.\n\nThe circumstance was reported to the Captain Superintendent of Police, who not only refused to send any assistance, but declined to allow the Fire Alarm Bell to be rung, and he also failed to inform the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendents of the Fire Brigade, Messrs. C. May and J. Russell, that a fire had broken out, though it was his duty to do so at once.\n\nFortunately, Mr. C. V. Creagh, the other Assistant Superintendent, was present when the report was made, and, aid having been refused, he went alone to the Fire Engine Station and, with the help of a few volunteers, mostly private individuals, after much difficulty, the fire was subdued.\n\nThis colony pays a large sum annually for the maintenance of the Police Force and the Fire Brigade, for the protection of the lives and property of its Citizens, and it is grievously disappointing to find that, in an emergency, when lives were being lost by thousands in the Harbour and the whole City was threatened with a conflagration, the Chief of the Police not only was inactive himself, but withheld others from rendering that assistance which they were able and willing to give.\n\nHad timely aid been given, it is very possible that many of those who perished in the Leonor might have been saved, and valuable assistance might have been given in other quarters; and this inference is strengthened by what took place at the various outlying Police Stations both on this island and at Kowloong, where the detachments, not being checked from exertion, behaved in a manner which merits the gratitude and praise of the whole community. The names of Inspectors Burns, Grimes, and Youngson have come prominently forward among those who were most active in saving life.\n\nThe conduct of the Police at the Out-stations thus affords a gratifying proof of the willingness of the men to do their duty nobly, where they were not restricted by the orders of their chief.\n\nOur confidence in the discretion and wisdom with which the Police Force is directed has thus been seriously shaken, and we therefore pray that, in view of the circumstances herein set forth, Your Excellency will be pleased to institute a Public Inquiry into these matters, that the truth may be more fully known.\n\nWe have the honor to be Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servants,\n\nSigned by:- Jas.

BOWETT.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,\nHongkong, 13th October, 1874.\n\nSIR, --I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th Inst., and to acquaint you in reply that the allegations contained in the Petition which accompanied it have been the subject of careful investigation by His Excellency the Governor, who has failed to discover sufficient grounds to justify the institution of a public enquiry into the conduct of the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nI have also the honor to inform you that, whilst deeply regretting that any portion of the community should have had their confidence in the direction of the Police Force shaken, His Excellency feels it incumbent upon him to state that at no time in the history of the Colony has the character and efficiency of the Police stood higher.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary.\n\n## Editorial from The Hongkong Times\n\nTHE HONGKONG TIMES,\nOctober 1st, 1874.\n\nIN THE MATTER OF CAPTAIN DEANE.\n\nWE ARE extremely gratified at being able to place before our readers the official correspondence that has taken place with reference to Captain Deane's conduct during the late typhoon. By those letters, we are enabled to grasp the subject in all its bearings; for our own part, we are exactly of the same opinion now as we were before we knew anything whatever of the correspondence going on. We disagree from the ideas of the Honourable Mr. Rowett altogether, but we do not fail to thoroughly appreciate that gentleman's motives in undertaking to try and rectify what he thought was wrong. We do not consider Captain Deane to be impeccable; and, at different times, we have raised a voice against both his action and his inaction when we thought he merited a little censure, but, in this instance, we consider him free of fault and we certainly intend to uphold his behaviour against which the Honble. Mr. Rowett and some others of the Colonists complain.\n\nThat unfortunate fire business has, however, yet to be explained. There is a vast deal of difference between trying to oppose a typhoon and attempting to put out a fire, and unless Captain Deane can give good reasons for not assisting at the conflagration, it will become the painful duty of the Governor to take him to task on this score.\n\n## Correspondence between Hon. R. Rowett and Hon. J. G. Austin\n\nTHE HON. R. ROWETT TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN,\n\nHong Kong, 23rd September, 1874.\n\nMY DEAR MR. AUSTIN,—Permit me to bring the following circumstances to your consideration in connection with the typhoon of last night.\n\nAt a little before one o'clock this morning, the steamer `Albay`, from Manila, came ashore on the Praya, inside Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, and just opposite my office. The typhoon was at its worst at the time. Loud cries were heard coming from the ship, when lights were displayed and a rope was thrown on board.\n\nThe Captain, officers, crew and passengers, to the number of 40 in all, were thus enabled to get on shore, and were placed for shelter in the Engine House of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Company. The Captain stated that when he arrived in port last evening, there were 400 persons, all told, on board his vessel.\n\nThese facts were reported at the Central Police Station, by Mr. A. P. McEwen, at about 1.30 a.m., and a statement was taken down in writing, by Captain Superintendent Deane, who, instead of sending assistance to the shipwrecked men refused to allow any of the Police to turn out, on the ground of its being dangerous for them to leave their quarters in such weather; and this, notwithstanding the fact of which he was also informed by Mr. McEwen, viz., that another steamer was coming on shore at the time he left the Praya.\n\nMr. McEwen then returned to the scene of the wreck, and, together with Lieutenant Prior of H.M. 80th Regiment, and Mr. G. W. Baird, once more went to the Police Station, with 30 of the shipwrecked men, the Captain of the `Albay` and his three officers remaining at the engine house. The men, who were all natives of Manila or Malays, except two European passengers, were then taken care of by the police for the night.\n\nMy object in drawing your attention to these facts is to enquire whether you do not consider that it is the duty of the police to be alert in moments of great public danger, and whether it would not have been more in accordance with the object the Government have in maintaining such a force, that they should have been sent wherever their aid might have been needed to save life or property, than that they should have been kept in barracks, while private individuals were able and willing to assist their suffering fellow creatures at some risk to their own lives?\n\nBelieve me, Yours faithfully,\nR. ROWETT.\n\nCAPT. SUPERINTENDENT DEANE TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 24th September, 1874.\n\nIMMEDIATE.\n\nSIR, In reply to H.E. the Governor's minute on C.S.O. No. 2799, I have the honor to report that I did refuse to risk the lives of the Police under my command by ordering them to leave the Barracks in the height of a typhoon at 1 a.m. on the 23rd instant.\n\nMr. Rowett entirely overlooks the fact that the danger did not so much arise to persons living on the Praya going outside their doors to render aid, as to a body of men taken through the streets of the city, when, in the words of a local newspaper, \"the atmosphere was principally composed of tiles, brickbats, jalousies, verandah-beams and foliage.\"\n\nAt 2.30 a.m., however, when the barometer showed that the heaviest blasts of wind had passed, I did turn out the men, and we went over all parts of the town: in some places over our waists in water, and experiencing the greatest difficulty in passing along the roads.\n\nI have further to observe that at least 36 of the crew of the `Albay` had been already saved when the report was made, and that the danger of a second steamer was a mere conjecture.\n\nPage 335",

        "content_text": "HARBOUR OF REFUGE.\n\n1326447\n\n361\n\nCOUNCIL CHAMBER,\n\nHONGKONG, 23rd October, 1877.\n\nSIR-In accordance with the Governor's instructions contained in your Minute of the 7th of August, we have now the honour to lay before His Excellency the following Report upon the intended Harbours of Refuge for the boat population of Victoria.\n\n2. We would premise our remarks upon the main question by a few words, perhaps not out of place, upon the condition of life, and the requirements of the class whom the Project seeks to assist.\n\n3. We find that the boat population of Victoria comprises about three thousand craft containing in all over twelve thousand souls of both sexes and of all ages.\n\n4. Following the hereditary custom of other parts of China, these people live entirely afloat, forming by themselves a completely distinct and isolated industrial section of the Community, mingling and intermarrying, as a rule, only with one another, living under social observances peculiarly their own, and earning only with much toil and exposure a livelihood that is not always unattended by danger.\n\n5. Their boats are of all builds and sizes, varying from the frail sampan ten feet long to the first class cargo lighter of fifty tons, and are tenanted sometimes by as many as three generations. In these boats people are born and die, knowing no other home during their whole lives and only leaving them to procure those necessaries of life which are not purchaseable from other boats, or occasionally perhaps to visit a friend, and eventually to be buried.\n\n6. Of the sampans, a large number are equipped with masts and sails and are, as a rule, employed in carrying passengers about the harbour, or in fishing, but the cargo lighters which devote themselves entirely to the loading and unloading of ships and junks are propelled with considerable labour exclusively by sculls and are more helpless than the small sampan in consequence of their clumsy build which renders them difficult to manage even in a moderately strong breeze.\n\n7. On the approach of bad weather, all the larger boats having sails cross over, in the wake of the junks, to the North side of the Harbour, and anchoring close inshore either at Yan-ma-ti under the lee of the Peninsula of Kowloon or in the inlets on the North side of Stone Cutters' Island, secure for themselves, betimes, fairly safe positions.\n\n8. The smaller and less venturesome sampans, however, unprovided with sails or having very small ones, and the slow and unwieldy cargo lighters unable to follow this example, are forced to seek protection where they can on the Victoria side of the Harbour, and it is for these that a Haven of Refuge is required.\n\n9. On the advent of a typhoon, a number of the smaller sampans make for the Bowrington Canal, which is too small to contain more than a fourth of them, while others, together with the cargo lighters, work their way up to Causeway Bay. It often happens, however, that from over confidence or other cause, shelter is sought too late, in which case, the wind having already become too strong to beat against, the only chance for sampans is to run before it and beach at Belcher's Bay. The case of cargo lighters under similar circumstances is however more serious; of too great a draught and too heavy to beach with any degree of safety in so exposed a situation, no alternative appears left them but to be driven out to sea and most likely to perish with all hands.\n\n10. As the cyclones that pass over Hongkong are generally ushered in by strong winds from the North-East quarter of the compass, the most desirable place for a Harbour of Refuge would have been in the vicinity of Belcher's Bay, to leeward of the entire boat population, thus enabling them to reach it up to the last moment by simply going before the wind, but unfortunately the configuration of the coast line and the great depth of the soundings close inshore preclude the possibility of a Breakwater of adequate length in that locality, except at inordinate cost.\n\n11. We have, therefore, necessarily confined our attention to the only two places on the Victoria side of the Harbour affording any lee capable of being extended or utilised in a Project of the kind under consideration. These are: (2) the water to the South and West of Kellett's Island, and (i.) Causeway Bay.\n\n12. Upon a detailed examination of the first of these sites, it was found possible by means of two Breakwaters extending from opposite sides of the Island (as shown in the accompanying Survey) to make a Haven of thirty-three acres, well screened against all northerly winds between the North-East and North-West and with good anchorage for lighters and the largest class of sampans, but unfortunately possessing no sloping shore upon which smaller sampans might haul up.\n\n13. As upon the announcement of a typhoon the first anxiety and endeavour of the people inhabiting the smaller craft and constituting the larger proportion of the floating population is to land and haul up their boats out of harm's way, no plan can meet their requirements that does not carry with it as a first essential, adequate beaching facilities, and therefore owing to this want in the Kellett's Island Project, we are unable to recommend it whatever other merits it may possess.\n\n14. Turning to the second site at Causeway Bay, which has also been subjected to a careful and detailed survey, we find a small natural harbour sheltered on three sides by the land, and capable of being closed in on the fourth by means of a Breakwater completing its protection from all points of the compass.",

Even on the occasion of the typhoon in September 1874, the usually safe anchorages of Kasoon Bay and Stone Cutters Island failed to afford the requisite shelter, and the beaches at these places were strewn with wreck.\n\nIt is estimated by the Surveyor General that shelter and beaching ground should be provided in the following craft:\n \n| Craft        | Draught (inches) | Beaching Space Required (feet) |\n|--------------|------------------|--------------------------------|\n| Small stilts | 15               | ...                            |\n| Larger Sambaus | ...              | Ditto for larger Sambaus       |\n| Smaller lighters | ...            | Ditto for smaller lighters     |\n\nFloating space in cargo lighters having a maximum draught of 4 feet contains 1,200 square feet, while those with a draught of 3 feet contain 500 square feet.\n\n| Accommodation | Total Accommodation Required |\n|---------------|-------------------------------|\n| ...           | 2,572                         |\n| Total         | 6,050                         |\n\n# \n\nFrom the foregoing particulars, it would appear that shelter for the craft population is much required on the south side of the Harbour and Victoria, and it becomes necessary to consider where such shelter can be most effectually and economically obtained.

During his career as a Student and since he has lost no opportunity of gaining information both in this town, under his father, Dr. R. M.

I am convinced he will be an honour to the profession, and an acquisition to any service he may enter.\n\nHis qualifications speak for themselves.\n\n**D.

F. RAMBANT,**  \nRector of Kilfithmone, Templemore.\n\nI have known Dr. J. C. C. Forsayeth for more than six years.\n\nHe is the son of very worthy parents who have sought by precept and example to train him up in the right way, and I have every reason to hope that if God spares his life a career of usefulness lies before him.\n\nHe is a young man of great ability, and has had better opportunities than most young men of his age of studying his profession under able teachers in Dublin, and at home under his father; is courteous in manner and sober in habits, and, in my opinion, is well qualified for any post he may apply for.\n\n**MATTHEW KERR,**  \nPresbyterian Minister, Templemore.\n\nI have known Dr. J.

This would give for the Infantry \"War Establishment 2160 bayonets, and on a peace Footing of 1440; or in other words taking the strength of a battalion to be 800 on a war footing and 650 on a peace footing, Hong Kong would require 3 battalions for War and two for peace.\n\nIt will be seen that the Gun Lascar has been taken as a Gunner Unit.\n\nWhen completed, the various Works and Barracks would supply ample occupation for a European Company of Royal Engineers. The main defensive work of the Engineer force is undoubtedly that connected with Torpedoes, and as much of Submarine work requires the aid of men more or less acquainted with boats, I would respectfully suggest",

        "content_text": "under almost equally hazardous circumstances, from the houses destroyed or looted, several had but a few garments hastily thrown on, but happily all got on board the steamers safely. One lady who arrived by the steamer Kiungchow yesterday morning with an infant only a few weeks old was simply in her dressing gown and the child in its night clothes. Another lady was in her bath when the alarm was given, and she also had only time to slip on a dressing gown. The Rev. J. Grundy had arrived from up-country early the same morning, and having had his things taken up to the house, went across to the London Mission to visit his friends there. The mob arrived in the meantime, and while Mr. Grundy was assisting the ladies of the London Mission to the steamer, his own house was fired, and he came down to Hongkong yesterday with nothing but the clothes he stood in. The only case of injury to the person of any European we have heard of was that of Mr. Sobruyter, shipping clerk to Messrs. Siemssen & Co. at Canton, who received some small shot wounds, which are believed to have been fired by one of the Chinese troops, who are said to have been more in sympathy with the rabble than with the Europeans. There is a strong feeling among the sufferers that they have not been fairly treated by the British authorities in leaving them utterly unprotected after the uneasiness caused by the late fatal shooting affair.\n\nAfter the Settlement was cleared, the Chinese troops arrived in great number, and formed a large camp on the Bund. The residents also formed a defence corps in the evening, which divided into three to take alternate watches of three hours each in patrolling the place. On Shameen everything remained quiet afterwards until the Honam left yesterday morning.\n\nThe steamer Kiung-Chow was sent down by the British Consul about half-past two on Monday afternoon with a hurried letter to the Commodore asking for assistance, the telegraph unfortunately not being available owing to the wires having been blown down by the high wind. The Commodore promptly responded by despatching the gunboats Swift and Espoir, which left here at half-past eight yesterday morning. The force of marines on board the Victor Emanuel was put on board the gunboats so as to increase the strength of the men. Yesterday afternoon the French gunboat Lulin also left here for Canton.\n\nIn stating in our extra yesterday morning that Messrs. Russell & Co.'s premises had been destroyed by fire, we were misinformed. The house was looted, and the Chinese were pouring kerosine on the floor to burn it when the force of residents just came up in time to stop them, seizing a man in flagrante delicto. The list of houses burnt includes the Concordia Club, entirely destroyed. Mr. Reid's bungalow, the premises of the London Mission. Messrs. Pustau & Co.'s premises, Messrs. Thomas, Smith, Rowe & Co.'s junior mess, Rev. J. Grundy's house, Dr. Wales's house, the newly started ice house and Mr. Raven's residence, Mr. Rooler's premises, those of Mr. W. A. F. Sanders, Mr. Lamont, Mr. Remusit's the Old Pustau Hong, the Engine House and Police Station, the Silk Condition House, and the house of Mr. Holwill, Deputy Commissioner of Customs. The houses of Capt. Drewes, and Mr. Ganther, the Harbour Master, were also stripped. The old Club House was destroyed, and both steamer wharves.\n\nThe Honam, Captain Benning, arrived here at about three in the afternoon, and hence we have obtained much additional information. On the way up to Canton, Capt. Benning informs us, he met the Kiungchow, and learned from Capt. Goggin something of the state of affairs at Canton, and in consequence he anchored his boat off Shameen. At the time he arrived the thirteen houses which the incendiaries had ignited were still blazing, but the riot on Shameen was of course at an end. The rabble about the place appeared to have been a riot of boys and roughs to which he thinks no political importance is to be attached. The steamer brought down about thirty Europeans who have been burned out of house and home, or who were otherwise bound to this colony, besides some 900 Chinese passengers, and about the usual cargo. While the vessel was lying off Shameen, she was largely used by the refugees from shore—the ladies and children, who were removed from the Ningpo. At the time she left there were large numbers of Chinese troops on Shameen, which was also being patrolled by the Europeans. The roughs were cleared out, and confidence was so far restored that most of those who had a home to go to went back. Capt. Benning tells us that Mr. Masters and his family took refuge in a Chinese house during the outbreak, where they were kept concealed, and afterwards came on board the Honam.\n\nOn board the Honam we were favoured with the following particulars from a gentleman who resided on Dutch Folly, and who has been deprived of his home, so that he and his family have been driven here for shelter. At about eleven on Monday morning this gentleman's cook gave notice in the house that there was a Chinese disturbance at the Hongkong steamer wharf, and that they were in danger of being attacked. Capt. Calder of the Chinese Imperial Customs, who lived in the same place, sent a boat off to the house shortly after, and two boats to the Presbyterian Mission House, to take all the families on board the Ningpo. They went on board, and from thence went to the Honam. About six Chinese gunboats arrived off Shameen, and lay there during the day. He heard it stated that when Capt. Ogston refused to give up the Portuguese watchman, the crowd threatened to burn the steamer if the demand was not complied with, and they attempted to do so. When the steamer was got out of their reach, they made an effort to discover who the agent was, and finding Messrs. Russell & Co. were the agents, they made for the premises of that firm, but on reaching Shameen attacked the houses they came to indiscriminately.\n\nAnother passenger by the Honam, a gentleman named Monteith, who is on his way to Calcutta, also favoured us with some particulars. This gentleman first heard of the affair by seeing the corpse of the dead Chinaman when he went on board the Hankow at about 9.25 am, on Monday, and he was told the man had been pushed overboard at about five o'clock by someone on board the steamer. Immediately after this a crowd assembled on the wharf and commenced throwing brickbats at the steamer, and Mr. Monteith was advised by the officers to go to the upper part of the steamer for safety. He did not see the Chinese attempt to set fire to the steamer but as soon as it was taken out of their reach they fired the wharf, and it was destroyed very quickly. The steamer went off Shameen, and the next thing he noticed was a heavy smoke, and he was told that the ice house had been fired. After ten o'clock he could see there was evidently cause for alarm in the Settlement, for the...\n\nPage 481",

        "content_text": "Viceroy for aid, and he called upon the few Chinese troops who had been sent to drive off the mob in very strong terms, charging them with cowardice. After this time the Viceroy sent a large number of troops, which filled up the point, and kept the mob out of the place. I counted eleven houses destroyed by fire, but I am told there are thirteen, besides four others only looted. There could be no efforts made to check the flames. There were no engines, for the Chinese burnt down the engine house and destroyed the engines.\n\nAt five o'clock a meeting of the residents was held at the Canton Club, Mr. Daval, the president of the Club, being appointed Chairman, to take into consideration measures for the defence of the Settlement. Herr Von Ketler, the German Vice-Consul, was appointed the commander of the residents' forces, as he had seen some active service as a German officer and was the only one who had seen real service. There were three officers under him, viz., Mr. Von Pustau, Mr. Rocher, and Mr. Dunt, who had command each of a division, and these divisions took alternate watches of three hours each for patrolling the Settlement from nine o'clock.\n\nI was in the first watch, that of Mr. Von Pustau, and everything was quiet all the night through on Shameen, but while I was on duty I heard firing going on somewhere in the city, the cause of which I do not know. During Monday a great number of Chinese troops arrived in the Settlement, and at nine o'clock in the evening many Chinese gunboats arrived and placed themselves round Shameen, whilst watch boats kept any mob from crossing the creek. The camp of the troops was pitched upon the Bund, which they almost filled.\n\nThe next morning a feeling of security succeeded to the anxiety which prevailed before, and the ladies and children came ashore to their houses; some whose houses were burned came on to Hongkong by the Honam, whilst others will come on to-morrow. I don't think Mr. Sebruynter is seriously hurt. He was wounded with small shot, being struck on the forehead, the back of the head, the left arm, right wrist, and stomach. There were no medical instruments available to extract the shots, all having been destroyed, but the doctor thinks the wounds are not serious.\n\nI was with him before leaving, and he appeared to be pretty well, and was about writing a lot of correspondence for the mail. It is believed that the shots were fired by a Chinese soldier. The Chinese soldiers seemed to take a lively interest in the welfare of the mob on Shameen, and they let all of them escape. The only ones captured were seven we seized, four of whom made good their escape, whilst the other three made some escapes and were re-captured.\n\nThere is a strong feeling in the settlement that if there had been an English gunboat there, the whole damage might have been prevented. As we were on the way down we met the gunboat Swift on the way to Canton, she was going at a very great rate. The Espoir we saw taking shelter from the weather.\n\nMr. Brocklemann, of the firm of Messrs. Pustau & Co., gave us later on a very complete description of the affair, but as it travels over the same ground as the preceding narrative, and corroborates it, we will only give that part referring to what occurred while Mr. Schwemann was on board the Hankow, and such extra particulars as he gave.\n\nMr. Brocklemann said: Just before half-past eight this morning, Mr. Raven, of the Ice House, who lives in the same building as I do, called to me over the banister as I was dressing that he had just heard from his compradore that a Chinaman had been kicked overboard from the Hankow and drowned at 5.30, and that a Chinese mob had assembled, being then engaged in firing the Custom House. I went to the verandah and saw the smoke rising from the two steamer wharves, which were then on fire.\n\nI went downstairs at 8.40, and then saw the first Chinese crossing the bridge into Shameen. We wanted to look after some books in the house, but as there were some ladies in the next house who needed protection, three of us got together, one with a cane, another with a dagger, and another with a revolver, and tried to drive the crowd back on the front row.\n\nThere were about a hundred men there then, but we succeeded for a short time, and then we went to the middle row, keeping near our own place, and the crowd was soon increased to 250 men, as they came pouring over the bridge, the gates of which they had opened. They drove us back for a bit, and this kind of thing kept on till about 9.30, when some 50 Chinese soldiers came across the bridge which leads from the city to the middle of the Settlement.\n\nOf these 25 stayed on the bridge to prevent any more Chinese from coming over, and 25 more came on to Shameen. However, they were a wretched lot, miserably armed, and were utterly afraid to attack the mob. They seemed to have no leader and would do nothing without the co-operation of the Europeans. They just followed us about, and did nothing, the only good being the guarding of the bridge.\n\nWe took some of their bamboo spears away from them, and found them useful to use ourselves, as revolvers and small things were of no use with the crowd. The few Europeans drove back the mob three or four times, and if we had had any support from the Chinese soldiers we could have kept them back, but we were unsupported, and the soldiers were firing behind us, and so we retreated, and the crowd chased us to the middle of the Settlement.\n\nThey then broke into the house of Messrs. Thomas, Rowe, and Smith, and though they looted it, they did not at that time set fire to it. The Consuls warned us not to shoot any of the natives, and we heeded the caution. Mr. Brocklemann here went on to deal with the banding together of the residents armed with the weapons supplied by Mr. Butler, and their successful attack on the crowd.\n\nHe said that from 8.30 a.m. the Consuls had sent to the Chinese authorities for assistance, and had received word back that there were 200 to 300 men on the other side of the creek who did not dare to pass over unless they had support from the Shameen side, and so Mr. Mollendorf arranged this party of attack.\n\nMessrs. Thomas, Rowe, and Smith's premises were the first fired on Shameen, this being done at ten a.m., and the outbreaks followed quickly. The crowd, according to this gentleman's computation, numbered about 700 at this time. The Consuls had a consultation at three o'clock as to whether the Hankow was to be kept at Canton or sent to Hongkong, and they decided it would be well for it to remain until the drowned Chinaman was removed, and that the Portuguese watchman charged with causing his death should not then be taken away for fear of further inflaming the mob.\n\nMr. Brocklemann said he saw the bodies of three Chinese killed by firing, which went on pretty briskly after the decision to resist the mob by force, and he understands that about 20 dead bodies were carried off by the mob.\n\nANOTHER ACCOUNT,\n\nEarly in the morning some of the foreigners were informed by their servants that a Chinaman had been kicked to death by a watchman on the Hankow and that there was a disturbance, but no particular alarm was felt at the time. Soon after eight o'clock, however, the mob appeared off Shameen, but the constable stationed at the bridge kept the gate closed and refused to allow them to pass.\n\nMr. Woodruff, the Commissioner of Customs, left his house in his chair with the intention of passing through the crowd to the Custom House, but on reaching the gate he saw that it would be unsafe to go on. As things were then looking very threatening, the ladies at the London Mission House were taken on board the Ningpo, which was lying off the Concession.\n\nOn seeing this party passing towards the water the mob set up a yell and began throwing stones, but fortunately none of the missiles reached far enough to do any injury, and the party got safely off. By this time the alarm had become general, and the other ladies and children were taken off to the steamer. Few if any waited to pack up their clothes, but went off simply with those they had on at the time.\n\nMeanwhile the crowd, which had been increasing in numbers and violence, burst open the gate and swarmed on to the Concession. Had there been any organised and properly armed guard at that time, however small, it is thought the Chinese would not have ventured to cross. There being nothing of the kind to deter them they rushed on...",

        "content_text": "# Enclosure\n\n## INTERESTING MEMORIAL FROM THE TSUNG-LI YAMEN ON COAST DEFENCE.\n\nThe following translation of a memorial from the Tsung-li Yamen on the pressing necessity of coast defence and the need of quieting the dangers near at hand so as to guard well against those in the future is made by the N. C. Herald :\n\nThe Franco-Annamese question is somewhat different from the former Russian difficulty. Whether it is decided to preserve peace or to declare war; to act on the offensive or defensive, the dangers on the south-west will ever remain unchanged. When a foreign invasion is imminent, coast defence must not be for a moment forgotten. Annam and Kuangtung are connected with each other both by land and water, and troops have been ordered thither to guard (against any attack from the enemy). Military reports are now awaited from Peng Yu-lin and Chang Shu-sheng, and plans will be devised upon consulting them.\n\nBut let a review of the coast be taken. The Pai-yang (Northern Ocean) defence embraces Taku and Pei-tang and slightly watches over Lü Shan (Port Arthur); but the protection of Teng-lai is nil. The Nan-yang (Southern Ocean) defence includes the river and the sea with Kiang Yin as the strategical point, and guards Su Tai. As to Teng-lai, Ting Pao-chên in his Memorial considered Tengchow, Chefoo, and Wei-hai-wei as the essential points to be defended. The Governor of the Province (Shantung) however had erected only five forts in and near Teng Shêu Kau which are insufficient to well protect the coast.\n\nThe 800 marines under the Superintendence of the same Governor had been transferred by Li Hung-chang to the gunboats Chao-yung and Yang-wei of the Pei-yang squadron and whatever guns there are of the old pattern. When Wu Chang-ch'ing was instructed to organize the defence of that province, he had only a short time to act in and did not accomplish much. Now the inundation has come; our army and our funds are only capable of dealing with one point at a time and not sufficient to defend all the points at once.\n\nOur Yamen has repeatedly been devising plans and methods of defence on behalf of that province. It is not necessary to increase the garrison of Tengchow, as there is a chên tai stationed there. Wei-hai-wei from its natural advantages is very defensible. But Chefoo with its broad expanse of sea, and level sandy coast, a haven for merchant vessels, has ever been exposed to and sought after by foreign vessels, and therefore a heavy garrison is needed for its protection.\n\nAs Wu Ta-ch'êng watches over Lan-lo and Wu Chang-ch'ing is placed in Korea, they cannot be spared from their posts. The Throne is petitioned to instruct the Pei-yang Superintendent to select an able commander who will take with him trained soldiers from four to six camps and hold Chefoo. When Chefoo is secure, then both Lü Shan and Ka Tang will be safe.\n\nThe most important of the coast defence undertaken by Tso Tsung-tang is Po-mao Shan. The strait of Po-mao is situated 70 li east of the Chou Chi mouth and is the receptacle of the sea-flowing rivers of Soochow and Changchow. In the time of the Ming dynasty alarms were communicated by means of smoke signals at Po-mao to warn the people of a Japanese invasion.\n\nThe sea outside the strait is broad, and steamers pass and re-pass in it. The natural dangers of the place can be judiciously employed to make its defence effectual. The sea ports of Liu Ho, Ta-chien Fou, Hsü-liu Ching and others, through which the Capital of Kiangsu can be reached, are away from the Metropolitan city over a hundred li and are nevertheless to be defended.\n\nTsung-ming, an isolated island in the sea, relies solely on the chên-piao who commands but a weak garrison. If an alarm of war is sounded the isle is difficult for reinforcements to reach; every precaution for protecting the place should then be prepared beforehand.\n\nThe organization of the fishing brigade in the southern provinces is indeed an admirable idea; it prevents spies in the inland waters and can assist in harassing the enemy along the sea-coast. But fishing brigades may only be able to protect the people (in cases of need); they are of no avail in a battle.\n\nThe defence of Kiangsu needs more funds than can be spared; and if a tax is collected and militia instituted, people will ever be kept in a state of alarm and doubt. Therefore the Throne is petitioned to command the Fatai of Kiangsu, under the head of Winter Defence, to pick able-bodied men from the six or seven districts along the coast and class them in divisions of 300 each.\n\nThey are to be given rifles and ammunition and trained stuff year from three to five months in winter and spring; they will be able to handle their arms well and be thoroughly disciplined in that time. In peace they may detain and arrest salt-smugglers; in war they can patrol the sea-ports. In carrying this plan into execution, the funds will not be wasted, people will not be disturbed, and the many districts close to each other will rest in security.\n\nThe salt smugglers along the shores of the T'ai Hu who appear and disappear at intervals are doing a great deal of harm to the community and interfere with the organization of coast defence. It is imperative to crush any rebellious project on their part in the bud; then no danger will be apprehended from them at the rear when fighting an enemy in front.\n\nLet the Throne instruct the Fatai of the province to collect volunteer boats that they may capture these desperadoes and change them into loyal subjects; then land, sea, and lakes, (freed of them) may become tranquil.\n\nThe coast of the Min province is washed by the Che-yang (Chêkiang Ocean) and at the furthest end by the Canton sea. The government of this province requires an able official as the ever vigilant watching (for an opportunity to attack China) must be guarded against.\n\nIf the high authorities of the province consider tranquillity, and able rule, and not intent on devising plans for defence, at the first stir of the ocean's waves (war) Formosa, Peng-hu, and Amoy will be untenable. It is prayed that the Throne will bestow some thought on the province of Min either in appointing some able officials or decreeing some old generals to govern and protect it.\n\nThe isolated isle of Ting-hai, the port of Cha-pu, Ningpo, and Chou-shan in the province must be placed under the strictest surveillance. Some time ago a Decree was promulgated ordering Lin Ping-chang to take charge of the coast defence, who from his experience in war affairs will be able to bring it to an effectual state, and Your Majesties may rest at ease on that point.\n\nAnother matter, however, must be brought to the Imperial notice. The coast defence was instituted about ten years ago; the money expended on purchasing guns and ships amounted to tens of millions, and yet in case of war nothing can be relied on; the preparation for defence against Russian invasion cost the outlay over ten millions, and still the coasts are in a disorderly state.\n\nThe provincial authorities shirk their responsibility by complaining of the niggardliness of the Boards, while the officials of the Boards in turn fail in their duty by charging the provincial authorities with indulging in extravagant expenses. The dilly-dallying, the waste of time and opportunity, are all due to the faults of our Yamen.\n\nEven if the judgment of not censuring us, we cannot fool ourselves on the question of coast defence. The Yamen considers the protection of trade and defence of the coast to be two points of essential importance. The coast defence being in an unworthy state, it is not likely that trade will flourish.\n\nFrom this time forward let the coast defence be ever kept up in an efficient condition. The preparation which exists against the threats of the French today will be improved upon for defending the coast in the future. After receiving a Decree in reply to this Memorial, our Yamen will diligently study the naturally defensible points of the coast and the new invention of foreign gunboats, consulting with the Board of Revenue with regard to funds, with the Board of War in regard to tactics and military affairs, and with provincial authorities on procuring able commanders.\n\nWhen the country can remain at peace (without dishonour) or go to war (with confidence) then our reputation for being powerful will be established, and rebellious projects will be stifled. When preparation (for coast defence) begins, then danger ceases.\n\nPage 333\n\n**An unpublished decree from the Empress is also sent to us, but it contains nothing of importance beyond an expression of opinion on the part of Her Majesty that the schemes of the French are \"wily and insatiable.\"—ED.**\n\nPage 420",

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

The rule laid down in E would be useful.\n\nIf the proceedings are to be carried out by a Magistrate, I do not think it would be desirable that a fugitive should be surrendered without more evidence than hearsay. The pull is now, I believe, to ask for remands, then produce one witness, then a remand and then another witness. If they themselves took care, there need be little delay.\n\n(b) The Chinese should be called upon to allege the specific offence or offences committed at a specific place, and the particulars should be communicated to the Governor, and the decision thereupon must, in the nature of things, be made.

        "content_text": "such a truly hopeless condition as to be unable to pay the salaries this year, and at the same time discharge in full its obligations to its other creditors. I shall give my reasons elsewhere. Now we pass on to the next paragraph :\n\nAs your Excellency has refused to wire the Secretary of State, the unofficial members have done so themselves in the following terms:-\n\n'Unofficial members Council dissatisfied with financial position and prospects; request postponement increase salaries; further consideration required, preparing Memorial. Governor declines to forward telegram.'\n\n\"They have now formally to request your Excellency, in the event of a despatch being received from the Secretary of State authorizing payment within this financial year of the increased salaries, to suspend its operation until the Memorial they are now preparing, your Excellency's views on the subject about to be submitted to Council, and the consequent debate be submitted to and considered by him.\"\n\nI think I will defer what I have to say on this until I have spoken on another paragraph, where a similar spirit is more completely shown. I cannot with regard to the next paragraph believe that it was intended to imply what it unquestionably conveys, that is two grave imputations on my character:--\n\nPage 14\n\n**The unofficial members are still very decidedly of opinion that the financial position and prospects of the colony are not such as to render it prudent to grant just at present the very large increase of salaries now proposed. They can hardly think that your Excellency speaks seriously\"-speaks seriously! when you propose to let the enhanced amounts be paid this year as they have been voted, and to consider the advisability of an equally large reduction (I never spoke of an equally large reduction,) when the estimates for next year are laid on the table. That, as your Excellency well knows, is practically an impossibility. An increase of salaries once voted and paid must stand. To act as you propose would be a very grave injustice to the officials. No man would know from year to year how to adjust his expenditure. No injustice can be done by a delay in payment now and in a reconsideration of the whole question, for as the increases have never yet been definitely sanctioned no man has a right to calculate on it. Breach of contract there is none whatever, and cannot be, as your Excellency being a lawyer very well knows. The unofficial members are by no means opposed to an increase of salaries to such an extent as is right and proper and called for by the increased cost of living and as far as the colony's finances will permit, but they feel strongly that, granted that they signed a report recommending an increase, it was a mistake to make the increase equivalent to 35 per cent. in many instances. One of the unofficial members indeed objected to so large an increase in December last, when there was still time without inconvenience to have the whole subject investigated.\"\n\nThe first imputation is a very serious one. It implies that I, as Governor of the colony, had spoken otherwise than seriously in an official matter about so serious a subject. I think that is a very grave and utterly unwarranted imputation. And then again there is another more serious imputation in the statement. \"Breach of contract there is none whatever, and cannot be, as your Excellency, being a lawyer, very well knows\" This unmistakably suggests and other portions of the paragraph imply that I have officially referred to a course as possible which I well know to be practically impossible. You begin by saying: They can hardly think that your Excellency speaks seriously when you propose to let the enhanced amounts be paid this year as they have been voted, and to consider the advisability of an equally large reduction when the Estimates for next year are laid on the table. That, as your Excellency well knows, is practically an impossibility. That is, that I have deliberately suggested a course of conduct which I know to be impossible. Here, as well as in other places, I make an explanation simply on the assumption that you have not weighed the meaning of your words-and I say therefore that I know of no such impossibility. I know within my own personal experience of two colonies where the salaries were not only decreased, but largely decreased, in one case as much as 30 per cent, to existing holders of office; and these were salaries not recently increased but fixed for a long time previously. It is indeed perfectly obvious that if a colony is not able to afford certain payments promised only from year to year under a different set of circumstances, it is only right that these promises should be withdrawn when it can be honestly done. Then you go on to say that to act as I propose would be a very grave injustice to officials. I think this involves a supposition contrary to reason, that is, that they would very much rather get no increase at all than simply get it for this year only. As for its being a grave injustice because no man would know how to adjust his expenditure from year to year, I grant you that no man would know how to adjust his expenditure if having promised him something in October, in April you take from him what he had every reason to expect that he would get. That would be a very real injustice, but it is not an injustice to tell him, if it be really the case, that the circumstances of the colony will probably be much altered and that you will not be able to grant it him any further.\n\nAs to the next paragraph, I do not wish to refer to questions of consistency. If members think honestly that such a change has occurred since October, when they promised the increase of salaries, they are perfectly right to say so. I think there is no such want of courage as that which prevents one from acknowledging a mistake which he has committed, and if you honestly think these increases are not possible as regards the permanent change in the Colony, you are perfectly right in saying so. I shall not refer further to the matter of inconsistency, although in some cases I must say the inconsistency appears to be of a somewhat marked character. I can hardly imagine that the writer of this paragraph duly considered what he was writing, and I can scarcely think it possible for him to have written it in the view of hoping to achieve his apparent object. I can simply say that until the letter in its present form is either withdrawn or changed, my action, whatever it may be, will not be in the smallest degree influenced by such a paragraph as that. The advice you give may be very good or it may be otherwise-I express no opinion on the matter.\n\n\"Breach of contract there is none whatever, and cannot be, as your Excellency being a lawyer very well knows.\" Now, I recognise that that is not the expression I used. I did not say \"breach of contract.\" If you turn to my letter you will find I say something very nearly allied to a breach of contract. Moreover, gentlemen, I do not use legal expressions in documents of this kind; a contract has a meaning in ordinary English as apart from the legal signification. It means an obligation, and there is such a thing as a moral obligation as well as a legal obligation. You are quite right in saying that I knew perfectly well that there can be no legal contract where there is no consideration. I did say and I do say now, that apart from its legal signification there has been a moral contract made, and there has been a breach of that moral obligation, or contract, whichever you like.\n\nThe last paragraph on which I shall comment is as follows:-\n\n\"The unofficial members will be very glad to hear your Excellency's reasons in Council and if possible to be convinced by them, but they must insist upon your Excellency, before any increased salaries are paid this year, submitting to the Secretary of State their arguments still unanswered, as well as your reasons, and obtaining his final decision. It is their right as your Excellency's advisers on financial matters, and your sole advisers in a question so nearly affecting the official members. They did, unfortunately, towards the end of last year vote these salaries, without having before them any definite or intelligible statement of the financial position of the Colony, but there is still an opportunity open to them to reconsider the matter, so long as the proposed increases are waiting sanction.\"\n\nPage 24\n\nThis, taken with other passages of this remarkable letter, leads me gravely to doubt whether its writer intended to achieve its apparent object; for it is difficult for me to conceive his believing that any representative of Her Majesty would be so craven, as to submit to dictation of this kind. As I have said before I shall do what I believe to be right in this matter without the slightest reference to this letter or anything contained in it. Now, gentlemen, having commented so far on your letter, let me say again that I have received it with exceeding pain as well as surprise, pain not because of\n\nPage 595",

        "content_text": "# MATERIALS FOR A HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN HONGKONG.\n\nPoor and lawless as most of the Chinese inhabitants of Hongkong were at the time, they were not forgetful of the value of education. For at least a century before the British occupation of Hongkong, there were already small Chinese Schools in existence in the villages of Wongneichung, Stanley, Little Hongkong, and Aberdeen. Each of these Schools counted probably, year by year, an average attendance of some ten boys. These scholars, on an average 50 per annum, with their five teachers, represented, previous to the advent of the English, the entire school-going population of Hongkong, less than one (about 0.89) per cent. of the whole of the inhabitants.\n\nEach of those 50 scholars used to pay to his teacher, apart from small presents of eggs, fruit, or fowls, given at certain festivals, a monthly fee consisting of 30 cash and 4 catties of rice, representing the value of about 12 cents. In return for this fee, the young Hongkongites were taught to read and commit to memory a list of clan names (`Pak-ku-sing`), the Three-characters-classic (`Sam-tsze-king`), the Four-characters-classic (`Sze-taze-man`), and, in the rare case of boys attending school for more than three years, some of the so-called Four Books of ancient Chinese literature. In addition to reading and memoriter exercises, the scholars were taught to write Chinese characters, on wooden tablets at first, and, in the case of the few who could afford the additional expense, even on paper (by means of copy slips which had to be traced through tissue paper). During harvest time in the Hakka villages, and during the annual fishing seasons among the Punti fishermen, the schools were closed, and the teachers left without fees, excepting what they earned by acting as letter-writers, accountants, fortune-tellers, and geomancers for the people in general.\n\nHowever little positive knowledge, apart from mere reading and writing, was disseminated by these Schools, the teachers' personal influence, rather than their teaching, served to keep alive among the people of Hongkong the national respect for Confucian tenets of morality and ceremonialism. Thus, these little Schools did, after all, a small modicum of genuine educational work by partaking of the general character of Chinese education, which leans on ethics as European education leans on religion.\n\nSuch was the state of education in Hongkong previous to, and at the time when, the British flag was for the first time hoisted at the foot of Taipingshan, on Tuesday, 26 January, 1841, and when formal possession was taken, for all time, of the whole Island of Hongkong, in the name of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.\n\nThere is no record of any new School having been established in Hongkong during the first year of the Colony's existence. The attention of the Government and of the European community was much engrossed with the removal of property and personnel from Macao to Hongkong, with the selection and laying out of building lots, and with the erection of residences, offices, and storehouses. Everything was altogether too unsettled yet to admit even of the thought of any measures towards improving the educational condition of the inhabitants. The Chinese alone, the refuse of whose lowest classes began, early in 1841, to flock to the site of the present city of Victoria, consisted, during the first few years of our Colonial history, chiefly of boat-people, common labourers, coolie-builders, bricklayers, carpenters, stone-masons, blacksmiths, and provision dealers, all of whom had come to Hongkong, in defiance of Mandarin prohibitions, for temporary employment rather than as settlers, and left their families on the mainland. They naturally had neither time nor inclination to think of the education of the young. Some Protestant Missionaries, however, and notably Drs. Bridgman, Ball, Hobson, and Revs. W. J. Boone, W. C. Milne, and J. L. Shuck, who were settled at Macao at the time, came over to Hongkong on sundry occasions in spring and summer 1841, to prospect the future expediencies of the Island and to report to their respective Societies as to their making this new British Settlement the headquarters of their future evangelizing operations. Plans were formed and recommendations were made by the Missionaries, but none of them appears to have commenced any educational work in Hongkong during this first year of the young Colony's existence.\n\n## 1842\n\nThe first to take active steps in this direction appear to have been the Trustees of the Morrison Education Society: Messrs. Lancelot Dent, Th. Fox, William Jardine, A. Matheson, W. Leslie, G. T. Morrison, and Dr. G. S. Bridgman. This Society, organized by British and American merchants in Canton (9 November, 1836), to perpetuate the memory of the late Dr. R. Morrison (the famous pioneer of Protestant Missions in China, who had died on 1 August, 1834), had a distinct educational object, viz., the establishment and improvement of Schools in which Chinese youths should be taught to read and write the English language in connection with their own. The Society started, in 1836, with a subscribed capital of $6,000 and a library of 1500 volumes (the first nucleus of the present Morrison Library in the City Hall), and, whilst commencing operations by subsidiary educational efforts made by Protestant missionaries in Macao, Malacca, Singapore, and Penang, resolved now at once to procure two teachers, one from England and one from America, in order to start a School of their own.\n\nNo suitable teacher could be found in England, but on 23 February, 1839, the Rev. S. R. Brown (from Yale College, New Haven, Conn.) arrived, and commenced, at Macao, the study of Chinese. They started, on 1 November, 1839, the Morrison Education Society's School with six Chinese scholars. The attendance slowly increased to 12 boys (in 1840), to 13 boys (in 1841), and to 18 boys (in 1842), who were located as boarders in the Society's House next to St. Paul's at Macao. On 21 February 1842, the Trustees of the Society passed a resolution to the effect that the British Settlement of Hongkong presents a peculiarly eligible opportunity for extending the operations of the Society, as there alone in this country can exist protection and scope for carrying out its views to advantage. On the same date, the President of the Society, Mr. L. Dent, wrote to Sir Henry Pottinger in this sense and applied for a grant of land at Hongkong for the purpose of erecting a School building. The next day (22 February 1842), Mr. Dent was informed that Sir H. Pottinger would at once select and appropriate a suitable locality for the purpose. A site on the hill, thenceforth called Morrison Hill, having accordingly been granted, a deputation of the Committee (Dr. Bridgman and Messrs. A. Matheson and W. Leslie) waited on Sir H. Pottinger (5 April, 1842) to thank the Governor for his favour and to beg him to accept the post of Patron of the Society, which nomination Sir H. Pottinger cheerfully accepted. A few days later (9 April, 1842), the Trustees resolved to procure an additional teacher from Yale College as coadjutor to Mr. Brown, and when Mr. Dent made a donation to the Society of $3,000 for building purposes, the erection of a College was at once commenced on Morrison Hill (3 August, 1842), whilst the School was for some time longer continued at Macao. But on the expiry of the lease of the School-house there (1 November 1842), the School was removed to temporary quarters in Hongkong, with a loss of 6 out of 17 scholars.\n\n## 1843\n\nNo additional educational effort appears to have been made by the European community in the year 1843, but a small number of Chinese families (shopkeepers, artisans, and boat-people) having by this time settled in the new city of Victoria, four or six Chinese elementary Schools appear to have been established in Hongkong, in addition...",

        "content_text": "668\n\n(2)\n\nThe Chairman (to Honourable N. G. Mitchell-Innes).-Mr. Mitchell-Innes, by virtue of this letter I propose to open this Commission to-day, and I think the first person to be called is yourself. You will give us some information as to how the books were kept and so on, in order that we may see what further evidence we shall require.\n\nHonourable N. G. Mitchell-Innes (Colonial Treasurer) called.\n\nThe Chairman.-When were you appointed Colonial Treasurer? A.-At the beginning of 1891.\n\nQ.-Did you take office at once?\n\nA. Yes.\n\nQ.-How long had you been in the service before that?\n\nA. For about 9 years.\n\nQ.-What positions have you held?\n\nA.-I had been Assistant Registrar General, Assistant Colonial Secretary, Acting Police Magistrate, Acting Superintendent of the Gaol, and Acting Registrar General.\n\nQ.-When you took over the Treasuryship did you see what books were kept or what was the system of accounts?\n\nA.-I went generally through them.\n\nQ. What books were kept when you took up the position?\n\nA.-The books then were practically the same as they now are. There is a cash book, journal, and ledger, counterfoil receipt books, and subsidiary books for the collection of different items. There is also a Rent-Roll.\n\nMr. Thurburn.-The system now is the same as it has been for several years past?\n\nA.-Yes, the general system of book-keeping.\n\nThe Chairman.—When you took charge did you make any change in the system? A.-No. Changes were made as I joined, or just before I joined. The ledger, for instance, used to be kept by the Audit Office, but I do not know whether it was a year before, or just when I took charge, that it came to the Treasury.\n\nQ.-When you took charge Mr. Nicolle was in the Colony?\n\nA.-Yes.\n\nQ. And the changes you speak of were made in consequence of his being here? A. Yes.\n\nQ.-What staff had you in the Treasury then?\n\nA.-I had the cashier, Mr. J. A. Carvalho. He was cashier and first clerk. The second clerk and accountant was Alves, The third clerk was Madar. The fourth clerk was E. A. Carvalho, The fifth clerk was Freire.\n\nQ.-Freire had just joined?\n\nA. Not long before, I think. The sixth clerk was young Mr. Silva.\n\nQ.-What money is actually received into the Treasury? I know in a certain sense that all goes in, but what money actually passes in?\n\nA. About three-quarters of the revenue of the Colony.\n\nQ.-What does that consist of?\n\nA.-Crown rents, taxes, licences, and the Opium Farm fee. There are some subordinate receipts also.\n\nQ.-But those you have mentioned are the principal?\n\nA.-Yes.\n\n(3)\n\nQ.-By taxes, I suppose you mean the 13% on rent?\n\nA. Yes.\n\nQ.-Was there any document showing the division of duties between these officers? A.-No. You mean as to what part of the work each clerk was to perform? No.\n\nMr. Thurburn.-I suppose it was carried on according to old custom?\n\nA.-Yes, I did not make any alterations when I first joined.\n\nQ. Were these clerks secured at all?\n\nA.-Clerks through whom money is supposed to pass are secured--the shroff and cashier.\n\nQ.-That is to say, Mr. Carvalho was secured?\n\nA. Yes, for $5,000. I am secured for $10,000, and the shroff for $5,000, I think it is.\n\nThe Chairman.-Let us take the Crown Rent. Whose duty was it to receive Crown Rent?\n\nA.-It was the duty of the shroff.\n\nQ.-There is a Rent Roll sent every six months from the Land Office?\n\nA.-Yes.\n\nQ.-Have you got it here?\n\nA.-I have got our own Rent Roll, but I haven't Mr. Bruce Shepherd's here. I can send for it. (The book was sent for).\n\nThe Chairman. -Will you tell us what was the system in force with respect to Crown Rents?\n\nA.-The system which ought to have been in force, and which I believed to be in force, was that monies were paid to the shroff. If, however, they were sent in envelopes with a letter they were opened by the cashier and the money passed on to the shroff with the memoranda which showed what the money was intended for, or the letter would go to the accountant, that is the second clerk, in order that he should find out whether it is correct. On finding out that it is correct, he should make out a receipt, pass it to the shroff, who, if he had that amount in his possession, should put his chop on it and pass it to the payer.\n\nThe amounts should be entered by the shroff in a rough day book kept by him in Chinese, and by the accountant in a day book kept by him in English. At the close of the day the shroff should report to the accountant the amount received by him, the Alves' Day Book and Shroff's rough Chinese Book should be compared, and the cashier informed of the amount to be brought to the credit of the Government. The money should then be taken to the Bank and lodged there.\n\nMr. Thurburn.-Every day?\n\nA.-Yes.\n\nMr. Bird.-Did cheques also pass through the shroff's hands?\n\nA. Yes, everything.\n\nQ.-Though made out to your order?\n\nA.-Yes.\n\nMr. Thurburn.-Could the shroff read English?\n\nA.-No.\n\nQ.-So that he could not check any alteration which might have been made? A. He could only read figures.",

        "content_text": "Decision arrived at by your predecessor in 1891. The Hong Kong Weekly Press later took the opposite view and supports the present System. I have always been sorry private practice was abolished, but it would probably be unwise to alter it again on the subject.\n\nThe former papers are out of perhaps with M. Wingfield. Are they with C.P.L.? 2. Nov.\n\nI haven't got them.\n\nMr. Fainfull's EW 12M 12/n Not with me. With you.\n\nM: Bramston\n\nI have found the papers & they are now annexed.\n\nI am sorry to have delayed this. I presume it is not proposed to alter Goodman's position for long against his will: but he opens his mouth too wide in asking to give Private Emoluments in addition to or not in diminution of his present salary ($800 p.a.). In my day there goes very little business in the Council, as compared with the heavy practice before & since, but even then it has prestige & drawbacks. The salary of $4800 is ample time for Government work: & I have little doubt that Mr. Goodman's time is not fully occupied. The fact that the work has increased so much as to occupy his whole time, as would appear to be the case if W. Meigh is to be believed (7 of 1909), I am a little sceptical, but it may be that subsequent Governors make more work for the A.G. than was done best in A. Kennedy.\n\nThe former expresses no opinion upon this statement, so Tompson deems it accurate & in that case we cannot allow private practice, & things should remain as they are.\n\nFor Wingfield in the old days, we had pinned the idea that without private practice, he would become worthless & inefficient. But of later years, we have gradually adopted the other view, holding that the temptations to make money by private practice are not worth being put in that bad position (89327.12194).\n\n \nPage 7\n\n...\n\nPage 7\n\n...\n\nPage 7",

The exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been made by officials appointed by the two Governments. The term of this lease shall be 99 years.\n\nIt is at the same time agreed that within the City of Kowloon the Chinese officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction except so far as may be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong. Within the remainder of the newly leased territory Great Britain shall have sole jurisdiction. Chinese officials and people shall be allowed as heretofore to use the road from Kowloon to Hsinan.\n\nIt is further agreed that the existing landing place near Kowloon City shall be reserved for the convenience of Chinese men-of-war, merchant and passenger vessels, which may come and go and lie there at their pleasure; and for the convenience of movement of the officials and people within the city.\n\nWhen hereafter China constructs a railway to the boundary of the Kowloon territory under British control, arrangements shall be discussed.\n\nIt is further understood that there will be no expropriation or expulsion of the inhabitants of the district included within the extension, and that if land is required for public offices, fortifications, or the like official purposes, it shall be bought at a fair price. If cases of extradition of criminals occur, they shall be dealt with in accordance with the existing treaties between Great Britain and China and the Hong Kong Regulations.\n\nThe area leased to Great Britain, as shown on the annexed map, includes the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay, but it is agreed that Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise, shall retain the right to use those waters.\n\nThis Convention shall come into force on the 1st day of July, 1898, being the 13th day of the 5th moon of the 24th year of Kuang-Hsu. It shall be ratified by the Sovereigns of the two countries, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in London as soon as possible.\n\nIn witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective Governments, have signed the present agreement.\n\nDone at Peking in quadruplicate (4 copies in English and 4 in Chinese) the 9th day of June in the year of our Lord, 1898, being the 21st day of the 4th moon of the 24th year of Kuang-Hsu.\n\n**(Sd.)

Head of bay too shallow for purposes of navigation. If road be brought down to either side of bay on parallel 114° 14' 30\" E. ships drawing 21 feet of water could lie alongside a short pier. |\n| Crooked Harbour | Good protected anchorages in 6 to 7 fms.

Anchorage on 4 fms. line. Suitable for shipping; whichever side of bay road is made it should be brought out on parallel 114° 11' 45\" E., in order to allow of vessels lying alongside a pier in 21 feet. |\n| Tide Cove | Communication by small junks or light launches at high water to top of bay. Sampans at low. Anchorage in 3 fms. Protected in all winds. Distance from head of bay 3 miles. Important as being the closest by land to Kowloon. |\n| Long Harbour | Good anchorage in 7 to 8 fms. More suitable for a military than a mercantile port. |\n| Port Shelter | Good anchorage for any size of ships. Chiefly useful as being deep close to shore, and divided from Tseung Kwan O by a small neck of land 1/4 mile wide. |\n| Rocky Harbour | Unimportant, being out of line of communication. |\n\n### Appendix No. 2 (Geological Report)\n\nThe geological formation of this territory is simple, granitic trappean and metamorphic rocks largely predominating, the only stratified rocks which are found belonging to the hypozoic period. There are in places evidences of volcanic action, but of a very remote period, while the granitic and trappean rocks are very prominent everywhere. The hills facing Hong Kong are chiefly of granite, of which many varieties occur, from a fine close-grained felspathic white rock and a pink coloured granite like that of Aberdeen, to a very coarse porphyritic granite. Kaolin probably exists, but I did not come on any defined beds of it, though told that it was to be found near the west point of Castle Peak Bay. Syenite is common and of very good quality, a dark, highly crystalline variety, in many cases the large distinct crystals of hornblende being well shown.\n\nThe bold and rocky east coast shows some very characteristic cliffs of columnar basalt, and blocks of this, an almost black and highly crystalline rock, are largely used for bridging streams inland.\n\nFurther inland other trap rocks appear, while some of the islands in Mirs Bay show very distinctly the terraced and step-like appearance of these formations. The more compact and crystalline varieties seem to predominate, though trap tuffs and claystone porphyries are not absent. Specimens of basalts, greenstones, and felspar porphyries were numerous.\n\nIt is extremely difficult in such a country as I have described, where the varieties of trap rocks are so numerous and so mixed up with rocks of the granitic system, to say what other rocks may not exist. One thing is certain, there is everywhere an abundance of the best building material, and for road macadamizing nothing could surpass the hard basalts.\n\nIn one or two places I came on distinctly stratified rocks, of a hard, crystalline, close-grained variety, dark grey or bluish grey in colour, which I would call syenitic gneiss.\n\nPure quartz rock is uncommon, though in places distinct out-crops of quartzite were to be seen. I saw no mica schists, and except in the pure granites mica is not to be seen.\n\nTalc also is absent, but hornblende appears everywhere, and I should say chlorite schists, hornblende schists, and actynolite schists are fairly common.\n\nI saw no limestone, all lime used in buildings being obtained from the burning of coral or oyster shells.\n\nThe lower hills between the mountain ranges are of laterite, rounded or conical in shape, and well covered with vegetation, combining to form the extremely picturesque scenery usually associated with such formations. The richly cultivated valleys lying between, formed by the denudation of the surrounding mountains, seem in most cases to have a few feet of good soil overlying laterite; some excavations, as in wells, showed this distinctly. The laterite is what would be called a coarse cabook in Ceylon, fit for cutting out in blocks for building purposes. This is extremely like the disintegrated granite of Hong Kong, but contains more silicate of alumina and oxide of iron, the latter showing in large nodules.\n\nSome excellent pottery clay exists on the slopes of Tai Mo Shan, of which we saw specimens in the village of Un Long, of a light brown colour and extremely fine texture. Brick clay is found in all the valleys, and is used in the form of large sun-dried bricks in many of the village houses and walls.\n\nPossibly beds of primary limestone will be found, but the lime obtained by the burning of shells is sufficient for local needs.",

It is described as \"a subsidy,\" but it appears from the Enclosure to this despatch that it is really a payment for working telephone and telegraph lines, which I imagine are land lines, in connection with the Post Office, but I am not at all sure that this is a \"subsidy\" for a cable.\n\nI think I haven't had time to consider; what do you...\n\nThis version corrects minor errors, improves spacing, and adheres to the HTML output format requested.",

Administrators here were as the officers from Ki-Pak who took off their long outer garments the better to serve the state and to protect its people.\n\nNo vexatious custom dues were necessary from the poverty of traders. In the homes of the people peace brooded, for you, Sir, knew men's hearts and shared in the aims that they cherished.\n\nWe had been as the wild geese circling in distressful flight and uttering our cries of alarm;\n\nYou were to us a Chan Sun Wong who drew the scattered sorrowing remnant to his Capital, the City Lok, and gave them comfort and rest.\n\nWhen once the Tai mountain is left in the distance savage tigers that lurk in its fastnesses cause us no fear.\n\nSiu Ho set up a just rule and this was maintained when Tso Tsam became his successor. So the just laws of Hongkong introduced more than sixty years ago have gained an accession of strength as each year has shown us their wisdom.\n\nYou, Sir, have held firmly to right and have dealt out impartial justice.\n\nKung Sun of the Han, alone and unassisted, put down crime by converting all robbers into law-abiding people. This done he resigned his post, after being succeeded by Lau Jun of like virtuous mind. When two rulers of this type are in succession then it is well with the Commonwealth. Thus has it been in Hongkong and for this are our hearts filled with gladness.\n\nWe would, Sir, no longer address you as Colonial Secretary of Hongkong but as the Honourable J. H. Stewart Lockhart, G.M.G., High Commissioner chosen and appointed to Wei-hai-wei.\n\nYour acts as a virtuous ruler should be graven on stone and cast into loud-sounding bells; and thus forever preserved.\n\nWomen and Children all knew you; the love of traders and people towards you is conspicuous as if worn on their hats.\n\nWe cannot gauge this affection just as we cannot measure the height of heaven or tell how deep is the earth. The fame of your talents and virtue will be as the hills and streams for endurance. Of slight worth indeed is the humble tribute I offer. I am as the worm that Spring's balmy breath draws out from the ground to feel for a while pleasant warmth; or the frog that adds his croak to the sounds of the pond.",

        "content_text": "plaudits of your people, your Majesty is crowned to-day. Distant though we are from that impressive scene, we who live in this far-off portion of your Empire, the Masons of Hong Kong, reverently desire to join in the solemn yet happy wishes of the hour, and to add to those of others our own profound congratulations.\n\nBack in the cycle of time, a thousand years and more before the Christ was born, there in the Holy City, was built the temple of Solomon the King. In Nature's earth deep were its foundations laid, and slowly rose its majestic walls, its stately columns, the gate they called the Beautiful, the exquisite semblances of flowers and fruits and palms, the wondrous roof of gold and spikes of precious metal, wrought and fashioned all by the craftsmen of the time, and tested in their places with the level, the plumb, and the square. Upwards, ever upwards, under the guiding care of our Grand Master Hiram the Architect did the sacred pile progress, until the work was done and beneath the wings of the sculptured Cherubim rested the Ark of the Covenant in the mansion of the Triune God. Thereafter, from man to man, from the monarchy to the serf, from the strong to the weak, from the old to the young, down the path of time, Masonry passed through the Ages, bearing on its banners the profession of the faith, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, until jewelled with charity, a priceless gem, it reached the Masons of to-day.\n\nSo, as the Temple emerged from disorder to order, from shapeless materials to symmetry, and perfect art, as the Brotherhood grew from its infancy of the past to its manhood of the present, the Monarchy of Britain has advanced through hundreds of years from the tumults and unrest of the darker ages to the system of right and law which is now Great Britain's heritage. From the Monarchs before the Conquest to the dynasty of the Normans, from the Plantagenets to the Standards of the Roses, from the Tudors and the Stuarts to the Hanoverians, it has been built stone by stone and arch by arch, until to-day, on foundations which have borne it through the stress of the centuries and the burden of everlasting time, with walls which are cemented by freedom and columns which rest on the rock of truth, England's Monarchy sits on England's throne, the symbol of justice to all who shelter beneath its flag, and the haven where, secure from storms, ride the argosies of humanity laden with all that man considers his dearest and his best.\n\nTo members of the Craft Your Majesty's Coronation is of especial interest, for we are privileged to call you one of our Brethren. In 1869 You were installed Grand Master of the Templars of the United Kingdom, and in 1873, Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. Nor did the sympathy in Masonry of England's Royal Blood stop at your assumption of this high office, for His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, following your footsteps, has embraced the precepts of the Order and succeeded you as Grand Master.\n\nAlthough enrolled in our Masonic ranks are many who, not being subjects of the British Crown, owe their loyalty to other Powers, we all are fettered by fraternity's bond, and in brotherly affection and deep respect we venture to hold out to your Majesty the hand of fellowship across the seas and send you greetings from the East, joining in prayer to the Great Architect of all that He will have your welfare in His keeping until the hour, predestined by the King of Kings, when through mortality's portals you will pass to the Eternal Elohim, and hear for evermore the Voice that said “Let there be light.”\n\nHere followed signatures.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY formally accepted the Address.\n\nThis Address, which was about the same size as that from the general community, was bound in Royal purple and heavily mounted in gold. The centre piece was the Royal Arms; in the corner-pieces the design consisted of the shamrock, thistle, and rose, intertwined with compasses and set-square and with the Chinese emblem which carries with it wishes for long life. The inside lining of the cover was electric blue. The Address was printed in blue and gold. At the top of the first page—the Address ran to four—was the Masonic emblem for the square and compasses. The border contained the four national emblems already mentioned, with the Masonic between them. The Address, which was encased in a suitable box, was also the work of Messrs. Kelly & Walsh.\n\nHon. Dr. H. KAI next approached the Governor's table to present the Chinese Address. He said—May it please your Excellency, I have the honour to present on behalf of the Chinese Community an humble address to His Most Gracious Majesty King Edward VII, our Sovereign Lord. The address has been prepared in joyous anticipation of His Majesty's Coronation. It is composed in Chinese and carved on wood. An English translation of it is contained in this silver casket, and we would respectfully request your Excellency to forward both to His Majesty for his gracious acceptance. The Chinese Inhabitants of this Colony are over sensible of the many and immense benefits they have received from the British Crown; they acknowledge with gratitude their heavy indebtedness to the British Government for much of their happiness, prosperity, and advancement; they cherish with profound reverence and lasting affection the memory of our late beloved Queen Victoria the Great and Good; and they look forward to the Coronation of Their Majesties the King and Queen with great and exceeding joy. All His Majesty's loyal Chinese subjects in this Far Eastern Colony have learnt with sorrow and deep sympathy the recent illness of their King, and they earnestly pray that His Majesty may, under the blessing of heaven, be speedily restored to health. They desire most respectfully to assure His Majesty of their devotion and loyalty to his person and throne, and they humbly pray that His Majesty may have a long, happy, peaceful, and glorious reign. I crave your Excellency's permission to read the English translation of the Address.\n\nHon. Dr. Ho KAI went on to read the Address as follows:-\n\nA Humble and Reverend Address presented to HIS MAJESTY KING EDWARD THE SEVENTH of the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Ireland, by the Chinese Community of Hongkong.\n\nOn the twenty-sixth day of the month of June, in the year 1902, the ceremony of Your Majesty's Coronation will be celebrated. Throughout the circuit of the wide world, on whatever place the sun and moon shine, wherever, by land or by sea, the British Flag floats, there will not be one household that will not be filled with worship, there will be no one who will not join in singing songs of joy and praise. From far and near all will unite in wishing Your Majesty a long life in which to make your people happy and prosperous.\n\nThe pen of the readiest writer would fail to give full expression to the feelings of affection and loyalty which stir the hearts of Your Majesty's Chinese subjects in Hongkong. But, with a humble obeisance, we venture in this hymn of praise to touch upon what we feel.\n\nDivine was the wisdom of Her Majesty the Late Queen. She drew men of all nations to her by her kindness; she treated those from afar with benevolence. Her fame reached to the East and to the West. The innermost hearts of all were moved by it. Not even by the sages of antiquity were her virtues equalled.\n\nYour Majesty has inherited her justice and Her wisdom, Eternal good will spring from this succession of virtues.\n\nMajestic was Her late Majesty's renown; her dominions were enlarged, and from far and near willing homage was paid to her. Under her rule the sea slept smooth as glass, the land rested undisturbed, Her armies maintained peace and kept inviolate the circle of her kingdom.\n\nStanding at her side Your Majesty has learnt the truth of the maxim that firmness and kindness are equally necessary to ensure success. Her late Majesty had closely at heart the development of commerce. She well knew that food is all-important to the people, and that riches make a nation strong, that unless the granaries and storehouses were well filled her subjects could not be protected nor civilisation and righteousness promoted and maintained.\n\nYour Majesty has learnt the secret of...",

It was never intended that the Land Court should have power to do more than investigate claims to land and report thereon to the Governor. It was always intended, and that intention still prevails, that the ultimate right to grant a title or to refuse a title should rest with the Governor, which clearly appears in section 14 of the Land Court Ordinance, 1900. \n\nNo inconvenience will be caused to anyone by the passing of this Ordinance because no land has yet been brought under the operation of the Ordinance.\n\n## INTER OFFICE MEMORANDUM\n\n| Label | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| FOR USE IN | EASTERN |\n| No. | 88 |\n| COLONIAL OFFICE |  |\n| Governor.

I was leaving for Washington and was on the train, and now with my papers in Washington, I haven't had it before me to refer to the date.\n\nI shall be greatly interested in receiving your memorandum to be drawn up for presentation to the Sub-Committee, and I know that you'll be equally interested.\n\nI am much interested in the silver question and the construction in this country, and on returning to the country from England, I am to be kept informed in connection with drafting facilitating regulations which we hope will be both beneficial to Canada and to the importers of silver in a way with which I am sure you will sympathize.\n\nI beg to enclose herewith the last draft made of the Bill to be introduced into Senate to give a silver currency to the Philippine Islands. In all probability, this Bill will be passed.\n\nThe design had some phrases during the week. There was no delay in it, and it is intended to coin the new currency as soon as possible, probably not later than the 1st of April. It may be decided, in order to facilitate a large coinage to start with, to coin these coins at both the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints.\n\nThe total amount of the silver coinage required is not a million dollars on hand, and regulations regarding it will be observed to a certain extent.\n\nThe intention is not to maintain the dollar to coin ratio.\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61",

Mr. Wei Yuk proceeded to reconstruct the wall and on the 2nd February, 1904, I addressed a letter to him, a copy of which I enclose, requesting him to extend the wall for the full length of the bank. The work of reinstating and extending the wall was completed about June, 1904, the extent of the wall being indicated by pink colour on the tracing.\n\nA third landslip occurred about the beginning of August, 1905. This carried away that portion of the wall cross-hatched in blue on the tracing or so injured it as to necessitate its demolition and reconstruction. On this occasion, I addressed a letter to Government on the subject and, as the result of correspondence with Mr. Wei Yuk, a plan for reinstating the damaged portion of the wall was, on the 5th September, deposited by Messrs. Weaser and Raven, Authorized Architects. I approved of the plan on condition that the 4 buttresses, which are also cross-hatched in blue on the tracing, were added and the work was carried out in due course. Permission was granted in December for the construction of some channels on the bank above the reinstated portion of the wall, subject to the reservation that the Government undertook no responsibility for their maintenance or for anything arising out of their construction.\n\nThe fourth landslip occurred on the 29th September, 1906, and this time the portions of the wall cross-hatched in red were destroyed.\n\nI then wrote a letter, a copy of which I enclose, to the lessee, who is the wife of Mr. Wei Yuk. I also enclose the reply I received and a letter from the Manager of the Mercantile Bank of India, Limited, who are the holders of the First Mortgage over the lot.\n\nWith regard to the statement in Mr. Ormiston's letter that the nullahs on Government land above Inland...",

M. the King as laid down in the lease.\n\nI would further point out that the present collapse was caused by the nullahs on Government land above Inland Lot No. 1523 not being of sufficient size to carry off the abnormal flow of water and so overflowing and carrying earth down on to the wall and I would refer you to Messrs. Weaser and Raven's report to the Colonial Secretary dated 17th August, 1905, to which a plan is attached which deals very fully with this subject.\n\nThe Lessee has spent a considerable amount already on this wall and has no longer the necessary funds with which to rebuild.\n\nSeeing that the Lessee has so far done her utmost to carry out the conditions of the Lease and that the collapse is now due to the fall of Government lands on to the wall, I would most respectfully ask the Government to render some assistance to the Lessee instead of suggesting a re-entry upon the property.

On the contrary, had there been a standard, great harm would have been done. If it were not invidious, I would name more than one company which at the present day are in the front rank, but which would, perhaps forty years ago, or even at a more recent date, have been forced to close their doors had such a table as that of the Institute of Actuaries, with net premiums valued at four per cent, interest been imperative, and there are other companies the careers of which have been watched with interest by actuaries in the United Kingdom, and with gratification, because it has been seen that they have been struggling out of the zone of risk, and have now become so solid that there is no longer question as to their future.\n\nThe British system of liberty with publicity, and without a standard of solvency has had the salutary effect during the last thirty years of causing several companies to emerge from the region of doubt, and also of causing others which were weak, and which had not the vitality to recover, to transfer their business honourably to stronger rivals. The publicity prevented them from recruiting new policy holders, and, without any compulsion, they found it advisable to seek a haven of refuge. This is very much better for all concerned than to drive into liquidation a company, even if so situated that there is suspicion as to its solvency.\n\nPage 180  \nPage 181",

For this object, they have adopted the practice of banishing known morphine injectors if possible to catch them.\n\n(I think) this refers to his reference to the operation of firms in London.

Chamberlain's Despatch No. 247 of 26th July, 1901) China binds herself specifically not to subject an extradited prisoner to any form of torture, that a British Consular representative is present at the trial, and at the execution of extradited prisoners, and that should any suspicion exist that China was not acting up to her obligations in this matter, it would at once form grounds for representations to the Chinese Government. \n\n13. \n\nApart from these extraneous considerations the practical issue as it affects Hongkong is that the mere knowledge by the criminal classes of Kwangtung that they might possibly be extradited for ordinary offences would, it is hoped, at once operate to cause this Colony to cease to be regarded as a haven of refuge for all criminals who find it convenient to transfer the scene of their warfare against society for a time from the place where they had rendered themselves too obnoxious. At present a notorious criminal knows that the chances of his capture and conviction in Hongkong are remote",

The Lu Chun were moved outside the city and the mutinous artillery replaced by the formation of two new ying, one from the Bannermen and one from Lung's own force, 300 Chi Chun and 120 Yunnanese.\n\nHaving secured as far as possible his military position, Lung Tutu's next step was to turn out of office such of the Kuo Min Tang officials as had not fled on hearing of his impending arrival: and the thoroughness with which he completed his task may be gauged from the list of present officials given in a later section of this report. Lung himself at one time belonged to the Kuo Min Tang, having been introduced thereto by the late Ch'en Ching-hua at a time when it was dangerous not to profess adherence to that body. His real sympathies, however, were always monarchical. Ch'en Ching-hua, whatever his political creed may have been, was a cost-efficient Commissioner of Police but he fell under suspicion of treason and by the President's instructions was arrested and summarily shot under circumstances which have laid the Tutu open to much criticism. The other Commissioners, foreign-educated young men of ultra-radical tendencies, including the heads of the departments of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, Industry, and Education, have all been superseded and their departure is a distinct gain to the province. No official of Kuo Min Tang tendencies remains in office today and the principal senior posts are held by men who have served in one capacity or another under the Empire. The Kuo Min Tang headquarters on the New Bund are deserted and Lung has established for the first time in Canton an officially recognised branch of the Chin Pu Tang.\n\nAmong other evidences of his desire to dissociate his government from the aims of the late regime may be noticed the new Tutu's encouragement, at the instance no doubt of Peking, of the cult of Confucius. The instructions recently issued to magistrates to see to it that the doctrines of Confucianism were regularly expounded in every rural district are prompted not by any prejudice against the Christian religion as such, but by political motives which demand an antidote to the revolutionary ideas prevalent.",

However, \"Ble did\" seems out of place and might be a misrecognition or misplacement.\n   - \"can didates\" to \"candidates\"\n   - \"thong rack\" to \"Hong Kong\"\n   - \"Elyraphic siply\" to \"telegraphic reply\"\n   - \"soms\" potentially to \"sent\"\n   - \"My Oppe\" is unclear, potentially a title or name, but without context, it's difficult to correct.\n   - \"ing\" or \"ingt\" is unclear and might be a misrecognition.\n   - \"atom\" is likely a misrecognition or out of context.\n\n2. **Fixing spacing issues and rejoining broken sentences**:\n   - Many sentences are broken due to OCR errors. For example, \"that Mr. was not a candidate for external promotion I shall be glad to receive a full report upon and his services in the Colony as to his qualification for the promotion which he now seeks.\" should be rejoined.\n\n3. **Reordering and restoring paragraph breaks**:\n   - The text appears to be a mix of different documents or communications. Restoring proper paragraph breaks and potentially reordering the text based on logical flow or chronological order might be necessary.\n\n4. **Indicating missing words and correcting file references**:\n   - No clear file references are present in the given text that require correction according to rule 10.\n\n5. **Page numbering**:\n   - There is no clear \"Page XX\" format in the given text.\n\nHere's an attempt to correct and reformat the text according to the rules:\n\nthat Mr. was not a candidate for external promotion.

        "content_text": "# HONGKONG TELEGRAPH SUPPLEMENT\n\nThose who were found clinging to the rudder were transferred to the s.s. Hoisang, as was also the compradore of the Tai On, who was also picked up and brought into Hongkong early on Tuesday. On arrival off Green Island, the police were called and attended under Inspector Gordon. Mr. McCartney was removed to the Government Civil Hospital, and the rescued Chinese were taken charge of by the Water Police.\n\nCaptain Wetherell sustained no injury from the pirates, though he received a nasty blow in the chest from a detonator that he exploded when the attack commenced. He was badly singed. Having killed the man who endeavoured to climb onto the bridge, Capt. Wetherell searched him for signs of identification and papers but failed to secure any clues from him.\n\nThe three officers concerned in this new outrage are all well known in the Colony. Capt. Wetherell has been on the West River for about two years. First, he was the mate of the s.s. On Lee. Later, he went with Capt. Holmes to the Tai On and was Chief Officer on that boat. Shortly after that, when Captain Holmes left the ship, he became master, a position which he has held ever since. He has a married daughter in Hongkong, who was saved from the wreck of a boat in Nagasaki Harbour some twenty-five years ago, when Mrs. Wetherell met her death.\n\nMr. Evans was in India before he came to join the River steamer traffic at Hongkong and was at one time with the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company.\n\nMr. McCartney has been on board the Tai On for many years past and was in the last piracy of the ship.\n\nThe authorities, on hearing of the outrage, took prompt steps in connection with it. Two torpedo boats, Nos. 035 and 037, were immediately placed under orders to proceed there with armed guards, and they left shortly after ten o'clock for Ki O, which is about thirty miles from Hongkong. The Governor's yacht, Stanley, was also commissioned, and in this, Commander Basil Taylor, Harbour Master, left for the scene of the outrage. The Hon. Mr. McI. Messer also left in one of the torpedo boats with a police guard. There is at present no information as to how all the pirates fared after they had fired the ship. No one seems to know whether they succeeded in getting away from the ship with any booty, and apparently, no junks were seen in the vicinity. Their fate is at present the interest of the authorities, who have despatched police in the torpedo boats, with food, to deal with matters on the spot. The fact that food has been ordered for the force that has been despatched seems to show that they are expected to be away some little time.\n\nLater in the morning, the s.s. Shun Lee and the Shiu On arrived in the Harbour and took up anchorages opposite the Harbour Office. Armed police guards were at once put on board. No one was allowed to leave the vessel, and a police patrol boat was told off to cruise round, keeping craft from approaching them. Representatives of the Telegraph went out and, while allowed to pass by the patrol, were forbidden to board. However, in a few words that were passed between a European officer on board and the press representatives, the former was able to express doubts as to the condition of Mr. McCartney before the visiting sampan was hurried off by the police. The Chinese brought in by the s.s. Hoisang were conveyed to the Water Police to await enquiries.\n\nAnother story of the occurrence states that at about eleven o'clock, the s.s. Wo Kwai saw the s.s. Tai On ablaze near Ki O. She went within two hundred yards of the vessel and was instrumental in saving the Captain, the Chief Engineer, and seven others, four of whom were found clinging to the rudder. The piracy was first made known to those on the bridge by the sound of shots below. The Captain, with a shotgun, and the Indian Guard, of whom there are four carried on board, taking watches, defended the bridge. The Pirates, finding that they could not take the vessel, set fire to it. The Chief Engineer received shot wounds, and Officer Evans is missing.\n\nSpeaking with an officer engaged in the West River trade, the Telegraph learnt that the district in which the piracy took place is nearly in the centre of the district commonly reported to be infested by pirates.\n\n\"If you stood on Wangmoon and drew a circle of thirty miles radius,\" he said, \"you would map out the district where the pirates are to be found.\"\n\nThis officer, speaking of the resistance that had been offered to the pirates, did not agree with it. \"It is the feeling along the wharves that it will be a bad time for Europeans at the next piracy,\" he said.\n\nThe long scroll of piracies in the waters of south China has had a further addition in the attack on the Tai On near Ki O; but there is one satisfactory side to the story - that is the fact that four of the pirates, alleged, are lying in the Government Civil Hospital in Hongkong suffering from gunshot wounds in three instances and from severe burns in the other. It is very likely that one of the men who received a shot in the chest, practically blowing it away, will not live much longer, and from him, little information is ever likely to be gained.\n\nWhen the Telegraph called at the Hospital on Tuesday, Dr. Bell intimated that the men could not be seen, as they were in a special room under an armed guard of Indians. One man had been shot in the shoulder, and the other in the left thigh. The damage to the thigh was, from his observation, of a very serious nature, and at the moment, the patient was about to be operated upon. The wounds were of a spreading nature, that it appeared as though they were inflicted with a shotgun. Engineer McCartney had been to the Hospital that morning suffering from a slight wound in the lower part of his back, but, though he was invited to stay, preferred to leave the hospital after being attended to.\n\nThe men, said Dr. Bell, who were alleged to be the pirates, appeared to be of the Chinese common class, and neither of them appeared in any dress other than that of the artisan or boatman. As far as he knew, no arms had been found upon them, but it was practically certain that they would have been subjected to a search before being brought to the hospital.\n\nThe Telegraph eventually succeeded in interviewing Capt. Somerville of the s.s. Shun Lee. The Captain gave a most graphic description of the truly horrifying scenes that he witnessed.\n\nThe Shun Lee left Hongkong, said the skipper, at 5:30 on Monday; the weather was cloudy and squally. They passed Kwongmoon at 9:00, and the s.s. On Lee passed them at 10:10. Shortly after the On Lee had passed them, the Liantan passed up and gave word that the Tai On was on fire. At 10:20, Capt. Somerville, from the bridge of the Shun Lee, observed distress rockets going up on his starboard bow. A quarter of an hour later, he saw the Tai On ashore sending up rockets and blowing her steam whistle. Capt. Somerville slowed down his engines and made towards the Tai On, blowing his steam whistle in answer.\n\nAt 10:50, he anchored in twelve feet of water; it was very dark at the time, and he could not get very near to the Tai On. He sounded down about four cables' lengths off, just inside half a mile.\n\nAt eleven o'clock, a fork of flame shot skywards from one end of the Tai On. At the moment, he could not say whether it was stem or stern, owing to the darkness. He immediately put out the lifeboats of the Shun Lee, with the object of rescue work. At 11:30, three boats pulled towards the burning ship, and from then until four o'clock in the morning, the men worked with unceasing vigour, bringing half-drowned persons to the haven of the Shun Lee. By this time, no less than 116 persons were rescued from certain death.\n\n\"Of what use are our grillages now, or our bullet-proof protectors for the bridge,\" feelingly exclaimed Capt. Somerville, \"if they are going to burn our ships from under us and plunder us while we are sinking slowly and helplessly into the treacherous mud of the West River?\" The scenes in and about the Tai On, he continued, \"were almost indescribable; the flames shot mast-high, and the smoke hindered greatly the rescuers in their work and to a great extent obscured vision. The wails and cries from the hundreds in the water were heartrending, and as the boats drew close by the Tai On, desperate people clung to the sides of the boats and made frenzied efforts to gain security from the muddy waters.\"\n\nThe fact that they set fire to the ship, said Capt. Somerville, proves the treacherous nature of the gang of pirates that make it their business to molest ships on this particular run. Finding the heroic defence of those on the bridge of the Tai On too great for them, from sheer desperation and lust for blood, they set fire to the vessel, caring not for the loss of hundreds of lives - the lives of fellow countrymen - so long as they avenged themselves on the sturdy and stalwart defenders of the Tai On's commanding quarters.\n\nA peculiar feature of the affair is that not a junk or a sampan was seen alongside the Tai On during the whole of the night, and the only other craft that got near her was the rescue party.\n\nIt is quite probable, however, that when the ship was fired, the smoke would obscure the movements of craft about the stern of the vessel. The Captain did turn the ship round so that the flames would be carried from the ship by the wind instead of onto it. It is believed by those on board that many of the pirates mixed among the passengers in the disorder that followed, and in that case, many have either perished or have been rescued with the passengers. The authorities are inquiring into the matter, however, and no doubt their investigations will lead to a better understanding as to how the pirates escaped.\n\nThose who have first-hand information of the occurrence tell the most glowing stories of the gallantry of the guard on the Tai On, who did so much courageous work during the fighting between the pirates and the ship's officers. Twice the pirates suffered reverse, and it was not until they found the fire from the officers so fatal to their numbers that they determined to set fire to the ship. The Captain of the Tai On had but a shotgun with which to take up his stand, but this he did, gallantly assisted to a man by his loyal assistants. In one case, a pirate received a full charge of small shot in the chest at a few yards' range, and terrible injuries were inflicted.\n\nThe two Portuguese watchmen on board the Tai On are named Dias and Leocadie Jorge da Silva. The former was a soldier in Macao for a time and from there went to Shanghai, later returning to Hongkong. The latter is a young man with a wife and mother in Hongkong.\n\n## Page 472\n\n# HONGKONG TELEGRAPH SUPPLEMENT",

Mr Cooper is still in the Army, and it is a mere incident that he is allowed to take temporary work in Hong Kong. If he is to be considered as merely on leave from the Army I do not think his pension rights from Imperial funds ought to be affected.\n\nAt the same time, it is quite fair that Hong Kong should be asked to award him pension for a period of service which has been given to suit their convenience.\n\nI put the matter to the General Post Office as in the draft annexed.\n\nCatt\n\n4. Nov. 4.\n\nAddress reply to \"The Secretary, General Post Office,\" quoting Registered No. 187727.\n\nGENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON.\n\nOctober, 1916.\n\n51590\n\nREC'd 28 OCT 16\n\nSir,\n\nI am directed by the Postmaster General to enclose, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, a copy of a letter and enclosures from the War Office regarding the temporary employment in the Hong Kong Post Office of Mr. J. H. Cooper, a Sorting Clerk and Telegraphist in this Department serving with the 4th Battalion King's Shropshire Light Infantry.\n\nMr. Cooper's temporary service in the Hong Kong Post Office cannot be counted for Civil pension from the Home Post Office funds; but as his temporary service may possibly be prolonged, the Postmaster General would be glad to know whether the Colony propose to recognise this service as pensionable with a view to the calculation of his final pension on his combined Home and Colonial service.\n\nI am,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nMaven\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nCOLONIAL OFFICE.",

I also corrected spacing issues and rejoined broken sentences. The text \"richt enslave type & tou Alis مومند --- ידיות dear 916\" appears to be unrelated to the main content of the letter and is not included in the output as it doesn't form a coherent part of the letter.

I am sorry I have been so long about it, but I have been much occupied since I got back with official duties and also with domestic matters.

The real report could have been sent earlier.\n\nThe position is deplorable: the Junker's prospects are nil, and it doesn't matter a brass farthing, but I have tried to do my best.

The servants would then leave en masse.\n\nFrequently a man would come to the servants' quarters of a house with a similar message. In no case apparently did the servants inform the master of the house of such visits until long after the man had left.\n\nThe experiences of my own household are worth recording. My servants told the Aide-de-Camp on March 31st that they were afraid they would have to strike though they were most anxious not to (This was probably true as they are overpaid and underworked). Arguments and promises of gratuities appeared to have some effect and it looked as if they would stay when on the morning of the 2nd one of them went out to market. On his return, practically the whole body declared that they must leave that night. So far as could be ascertained all that had happened was that some person in the street had said \"You are not allowed to work\" or something of the sort.\n\nPromises of protection were useless as they were met with the answer \"Yes, we shall be safe while the strike lasts as we needn't go outside the grounds but what will happen afterwards. He shall be killed then\".\n\nThe argument that it was impossible for the strikers to kill everybody if everybody remained at work did not seem to appeal to them. They admitted the fact but obviously thought that some people would be killed and didn't care to take the risk of being among the number. All of them except four house coolies left that night.\n\nThese four remained for a day or two, when one of them (an old house coolie who had been here for over 30 years and was induced to stay by the argument that he was so old that it really wouldn't make much difference to him)",

        "content_text": "And so it is really deplorable, that the financial crisis of our country makes it impossible to work with such energy as would be desirable and properly speaking necessary.\n\nIn the meantime we can only hope for better times, and prepare for them.\n\nSo, I think, that in our country, when our Society: Red Cross, or Red Star, will have grown on account of native membership, this Society could organize propaganda-campaigns by means of a cinema-auto, as Singapore and some States of America are said to have done, showing moving pictures, while a propagandist could deliver a lecture in the national language, as simple as possible, with reference to the picture, and could sell books on the same subject.\n\nFor our Javanese I have already proposed to the Government, with the co-operation of the Javanese Princes, to make a film of a performance by the princely actors of \"a wayang wong\", which shows a \"lakon\", a stage-play, in which the old Javanese legends are told, but in which also three, seemingly comical personages act, who can speak upon every subject they like, and thus could spread better hygienic ideas among the people, which is very fond of these performances, and as we would photograph the best company, which exists in Java, we would also encourage the old national arts.\n\nWe are intending also to photograph a performance by the \"wayang kulit\", the Javanese shadow-play, wherein the \"dalang\", the narrator, who also works the figures, can give his hygienical teachings to his countrymen, which teachings we will project as text, while during the show, we shall make the \"gamelang\", the native orchestra, play. Of course our Society can take over this plan, when its financial circumstances are perhaps relatively better than those of the Government, of which I cannot judge, and the Government will in this case undoubtedly lend its officials and its apparatus gratuitously. In this manner the propaganda will become very beloved in the Javanese country, and so we will have the best results.\n\nMoreover, I repeat once more, one of the most difficult things we have to cope with, is, that the population and the Government as also our Society are not of the same race nor of the same religion, and thus often a silent, subconscious opposition is raised, even by acts meant for the best, as if they know the Virgilian verse:\n\n\"Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes\"\n\nand, alas, in times of old, it was often not without reason, so that we now suffer for it, but in the way I have just suggested, I think that distrust will not be raised.\n\nIt may be, that my suggestion will also be useful to the delegates of other countries, where a similar difference between the Government and the population exists, and therefore I have given many details, which were not at all pleasant for me to tell, and I hope, that my colleagues also will give full information, that I may learn, how they have overcome the same or similar difficulties.\n\nThen it seems to me of the utmost importance, that already in the primary schools the children learn the principles of hygiene, very simply in the beginning, but more advanced and profound as the children grow older. So I have seen it in the Philippines, it being the American educational system. But one thing, I think, will be of the greatest importance for the future of manhood especially in the tropics, I mean the sex-education. But it seems to me, that we can learn many things in regard to these problems, from the native population, which looks upon sexuality in a more natural way and with less prejudice, even upon sexual anomalies, than we do.\n\nAs a beautiful example of what I mean, I will give you a specimen of Javanese poetry, a verse, written in Dutch by a Prince of the House of PAKOE ALAM in Djokjakarta, Raden Mas NOTO SOEROTO, in his \"Melati-knoppen\" (\"Buds of Melati\").\n\nIt is dedicated to his sister:\n\n\"Why I call you my darling-sister?\n\nWithout knowing I have prophesied to mother That her prayer would be granted in my whispering desire.\n\nPage 49",

This yields good standard results, and a reliable base for most purposes (1:62500).\n\nIt is practically the standard of the United States and the standard I adopted for the Geological Survey of Canada, for detailed work.\n\nCertain areas on account of economic importance or on account of complicated and critical phenomena may require more detailed treatment, but they are usually of small extent and may be treated separately. A good topographic map on a scale of at least one mile to an inch will be required as a base map on which to record the geology.\n\nA larger scale map would be even better. I presume your area has been accurately mapped by the Admiralty and the military so that these base maps would be available for the geologist. If not, this topographical work should be done. It is unsatisfactory and excessively costly for the geologist to do the topography himself. Admiralty charts will give at least the coast line accurately so that the geologist would have these to work on while the topographer is surveying the interior.\n\nIf you haven't accurate maps on the required scale and have no topographer, I might be able to secure a thoroughly experienced topographer for you.\n\nJudging\n\n((758) Wt. 20112/58 Gp. 140 80,000 11-22 W & S Ltd.",

M. Marcel Olivier Bérubé, the French prisoner, still wearing the ribbon of the Croix de Guerre in his buttonhole, awarded for his exploits in the 113 Flight Escadrille in the French Army, arrived late this afternoon, from the bandit camp at the foot of Paotzeku, on a \"leave of absence\" of 24 hours. He gave a graphic account of the trials and sufferings of his companions at the hands of the bandit hordes during the past ten days.\n\nMrs. Verea arrived exhausted and soaked with rain. She says: \"It is all a nightmare too terrible for words. They took me away from my husband at first but when I begged to remain with him, they allowed me to do so. His hair gone white and he was on the verge of a collapse. We were separated from the others after the first night, then forced to march day after day, sometimes all night. The first three nights we were huddled with the bandits and slept on a dirty floor, infested with vermin, but hardly asleep when we were ordered on. They pushed and kicked us to make us go fast. I was clothed only in stockings and a heavy coat over my nightdress, with only the bandits' slippers.\n\nFOREIGNERS' COURAGE SPLENDID.\n\nOn the second day a Chinese ahead of us slipped and fell over the cliff. In the hill camp we were alone but never had privacy. The bandits caroused, drank and smoked opium.\n\nThe first week we were fed twice daily but were too afraid to eat. Then when the food from the Rescue Mission came it was like food from Heaven. The courage of the foreigners was splendid. They tried to make light of the most perilous times and smile.\n\nI came to tell you all that the troops have not withdrawn as had been promised, and as a result, the bandit chiefs are threatening serious reprisals. During the past two days we marched day and night, and have only rested for very brief intervals. The bandits are desperate, especially when we are on the march, and if we do not walk fast enough we are prodded either with the rifle butt or bayonet. Even now many of the men are without shoes, while others have their feet so swollen that marching is torture.\n\nDuring the past three days we have covered about 30 miles and are encamped within the walls of an ancient Taoist temple, which is situated at the base of Paotzekou but at an elevation of about 800 ft. above sea level. On the mountain across the valley may be seen large numbers of troops continually on guard, and the bandit chieftain told me before leaving this morning, that the soldiers out-number the bandits about ten to one, and as a result the bandits are about at the end of their patience.\n\nTHE BANDITS WOULD SHOOT.\n\nI asked Mr. Bérubé to tell me how he knew that the bandits were desperate and he replied that he was sure that the bandits would not hesitate a moment before shooting any of the foreigners.\n\nOn Wednesday last five of the Chinese captives were lined up and shot, merely because they refused to obey the bandits' commands quickly enough, when the order was given to move on, and, it was said afterwards, attempted to offer resistance.\n\nMr. Bérubé then described the state of the individual captives. He stated that Mrs. Verea had borne up remarkably well under the continued marches, and had remained continually at her husband's side despite several offers of release. She now wears foreign clothes and appears in good spirits.\n\nMajor Pinger, U.S.A. has been elected senior commanding officer. He is wearing a pair of Mr. Musso's trousers which are several sizes too large for him.\n\nMr. Bérubé stated that Mr. W. Smith, of Manchester, who is 63 years of age had a narrow escape from death on Sunday, when he nearly slipped over a narrow path which spanned a deep chasm. He is clothed in flannel pyjamas, and wears a large straw hat and carries continually a broken walking stick.\n\nMR. MUSSO SUFFERING.\n\nMr. Musso is suffering more than any of the others and has to be moved in a sedan chair. During the march he fainted twice and was revived with difficulty. His left leg has been paralysed owing to a severe fall last Monday, when he lost his eye glasses.\n\nThanks to the ministrations of Dr. Martens, Mr. Musso has recovered much of his strength but still is regarded as being in a serious condition.\n\nThey were terribly angry and threatened reprisals if the firing continued. After the parleys with the Government agents the bandit chiefs were furious. They ordered the Americans to the summit of Paotzekou and ordered the others to follow today. Then the foreigners urged my husband to make me return and gave me great cheers as we said goodbye. But I am desolate. Please ask all foreigners in China to insist on the release of their comrades in Paotzekou before it is too late.'\n\nMrs. Verea is dainty and charming, an aristocrat. Her emotion is too deep for tears.\n\nBANDIT CHIEF AS REFORMER.\n\nA Special Chinese Correspondent, who has been to the scene of the bandit outrage for the North-China Daily News sent the following telegram to his office in Peking:\n\nPEKING, May 19th. I have interviewed the bandit leader, Sun Mei-yao, who says that the action taken by the bandits is honest and honourable with the wish to better the country's condition. He says that the bandits will hold their prisoners until the Government shall abolish the Tuchunships, disband superfluous troops, adjust the country's finances, declare a condition of internal peace, and issue a future programme with regard to troops.\n\nThe bandits, he says, demand that they shall not be interfered with by the regular army, and freedom of action for the betterment of China. They do not want enrolment in the regular army, and are willing to surrender their prisoners if the Government will accept these terms; otherwise, they will continue to hold the prisoners captive.\n\nThe bandits state that the country's future must be protected if they are to live and China to stand. Among the bandits are many prominent Chinese, including a number of returned students from America.\n\nThe Premier, Chang Shou-tseng, states that there are only 1,200 tufei, but the leader whom I interviewed says that there are no fewer than 3,000. The Premier is optimistic as to an early settlement of the matter and thinks that Wu Yu-lin, the Minister of Communications, should offer himself as a hostage. He states that in order to protect the foreigners, the troops have been ordered not to fight and the aviators not to drop bombs. However, the bandits are surrounded on a plateau.\n\nMr. Bérubé said that Messrs. Powell, Rowlatt and himself were in the best of health and that they had suffered but comparatively little from swollen feet.\n\nThe Premier says that Dr. Wellington Koo will immediately assume office, but Dr. Koo refuses to accept the post until Parliament confirms the appointment. Dr. Koo realizes the importance and gravity of the situation, but has seen too many of his predecessors fail, and therefore will not assume office until his appointment is confirmed.\n\nPlans are seriously being considered to send General Feng Yu-hsiang's Christian troops to fight the bandits and drive them away or suppress them altogether, as was done by Feng's troops in Honan last year. Chang Hsueh-liang, the son of Chang Tsu-lin, is reported to have offered to take troops personally to fight the bandits. Chang is a man of courage, firmness and determination and, although only 23 years of age, has taken part in several wars, not to mention many fights with bandits. He is probably the most promising leader in the North at the present time. The people in the North love him and swear by him.\n\nThe present camp is situated in three pagodas of a Taoist temple, but all the pagodas, though at a small distance from each other, are intercommunicating and the captives are allowed to pass freely from one enclosure to another. Major Allen commands one group and Mr. Young J.B. Powell another. The life is in a sense pseudo-military in character, and the captives are forced to eat and sleep with their own group. They are divided as follows:\n\nPagoda No. 1: Major Pinger, Solomon, Bérubé, Rowlatt, Chang (Interpreter).\n\nPagoda No. 2: Mr. Powell, Friedman, Henly, Musso, 2 Chinese.\n\nPagoda No. 3: Major Allen, Genshurger, Saphier, Elias, Mr. and Mrs. Verea.\n\nMr. Bérubé is leaving about noon tomorrow to return to camp before sundown, when his parole will elapse. He appears in vigorous health and little the worse for his experience, stating that long service in the trenches during 1914-15 fitted him for anything.\n\nMRS. VEREA'S EXPERIENCES.\n\nThe President's Office is angry with the North-China Daily Mail and refuses to make any comment on its statement. The President is accused here of lack of interest and action in connexion with the outrage at Lincheng.\n\nFIEUZAL GLASSES.\n\nOut of doors there is nothing so restful and comfortable for the eyes as the light reflected from green fields and trees, the absorption of the ultra-violet and orange rays by the chlorophyll of the leaves. Hence the introduction of Fieuzal Glass, yellowish green in colour, which is produced in several shades, and lenses made of this may be worn as a protection by over-sensitive eyes where it is desirable to tone down excessive light and glare. Fieuzal lenses of any prescription, either regular or Toric forms are manufactured by the Hongkong Optical Co., successors to Clark & Co., Manufacturing and Refracting Opticians, Queen's Road Central.—ADVT.\n\nPage 160",

The best golf can be obtained only at the end of an expensive journey by rail or car. The combined entrance fees amount to about $150. Other clubs, such as the yacht club and the polo club, are cheap of their kind, but must be regarded as expensive luxuries.\n\nNo estimate is made above for sundry expenses and amusements; wine and tobacco; entertainment; books and periodicals; insurance, holidays spent outside the Colony; or clothing.\n\nWinter clothing should be obtained from home and should be such as could be worn on a mild winter day at home. Many people feel the cold of a Hongkong winter almost as much as at home. Summer clothing should be obtained here: it is fairly cheap. But very light flannels and flannel suits might well be obtained at home. Leather boots should be bought at home; but not canvas (summer) shoes. Books and periodicals should also be obtained from home. Many masters take a trip to Japan in the summer holidays. It is a pleasant change, although by no means a necessity; the cost may be put at $600. On the whole it may be said that an unmarried master on such a three years' agreement can save money if he wishes to do so, and still live on a scale which would probably content him at home.

There was a discussion with the Dutch aide, relating to abatement.\n\nThe twentieth day read of the tang. That connects with the war (2 days yesterday) last night. We will have to work and figure out the material for the Chinese curves. Beatty has quite comfortably established his position with sound judgement & reliability.\n\nI have fully offloaded Hetherington to Ketchu, to put our matter till I sobered up. It will suffice for the moment that they (on Angelino's expert, one very nice fellow, the Br. Beatty Hatcher) were most conferring commendations towards the subject.\n\nThough rather withing (therefore), Beatty is diametrically opposed to the subject. I lean towards Hitler's Kriis.

The questions in the British Parliament d the telegrams from the Independent abour Party and the Trades Union Hongre expressing sympathy with the workers of China in their struggle with apital, betray a total misconception of the origin of the present crisis. It is safe to say that not 2 per cent. of the original dispute is due to dissatisfaction on the part of Labour with the conditions in the foreign mills, which, though doubtless capable of improvement in some points, are unquestionably far superior to those of the Chinese mills. In regard to the disturbances at the Japanese mill, overwhelming evidence has accumulated that these were the direct result of the work of political agitators, and they wore not reproduced in other mills.\n\nAs for the child labour question, the only way in which it is involved is exactly the reverse of what is supposed abroad. The offence of the foreigners is not that they employ children but that they Tho propose to employ them no longer. agitators persuaded parents that the employers were plotting to turn out the children, sweat the parents, and save on wages. Of course, directly workers were called out on strike there was abundant inflammable material ready for a riot, but it can be asserted that without political machination there would have been no strike.\n\nApart from the usual student demon-strations, the Yangtaze Valley has been reported quiet the past two days, but the Chinesa of the better order are in-creasingly nervous owing to the craven yielding of the Peking Government to the extremists. One informant, whom I have quoted before and always found trustworthy, says the increasing fear among the Chinese of an ultimate explo.sion along the Yangtare Valley is com-parable to that of the Boxer year. He adds that the only effective prevention is a strong display of naval force by the Powers along the river.\n\n\"RED\" HELP FOR CHINESE.\n\n(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nRIGA, JUNE 18,\n\nThe Red trade unions have sent the Chinese revolutionaries another £8,000, and the society for assisting distressed Communists abroad have sent Shanghai strikers a further £3,000.\n\nPROTECTION OF FOREIGNERS.\n\nthe\n\nPEKING, June 16-As a result of the foreign representation urging protection, the Government has brought in numbers of General Feng Yu-hsiang's troops to It has also posted patrol the city. pickets outside the principal offices of foreign firms and foreign residences.\n\nChang Teo-lin, who had been con-templating sending troops to Peking for some time, dispatched some to-day, and the first companies arrived this afternoon, occupying the Yellow Temple outside the North Gate.\n\nThe Ministry of Communications, in all circular telegram to-day, orders special protection for all foreign employees in the Ministry and foreign travellers on! the railways, and orders the dispatch of efficient police for this purpose.- Reuter,\n\nHANKOW, June 16-Of the seven Bol-ahevist agitators arrested by the Chinos authorities, one was shot by them this morning-Reuter\n\nFOOCHOW, June 16.-The students here are urging the Chinese employed by foreigners to strike, and are appealing to the Merchants' Guild to support the strikers.

SHANGHAI, June 16. The British Consul General this morning made vigorous protest to the Civil Governor and the Foreign Commissioner with regard to the murder of Mr. Williams Mackenzie. [A report of the murder appeared in The Times yesterday.]\n\nMiss Duncan, who Was with Mr. Mackenzie when he was murdered, and who was herself wounded, in relating her experiences said :—\n\nWe encountered seven Chinese dressed liks coolles who stopped us near the Great Western Road Extension. Mr. Mackonale asked thema what they wanted, but the Chinese only laughed, at the same time turning the light of electric torches upon us. Mr. Mackenzie got out of the car, and speaking both in English and in Chinese, ordered the men to get out of the way. Thereupon one of the Chluamen fired and Mr. Mackenzie ran back, jumped into the car and started the engine. It then seemned as if all the Chinese opened fire together, and Mr. Mackenzie lurched forward, telling me that he had been shot and was dying. Meanwhile the car had gained speed, and se he fell I took the wheel and steered the car while the Chinese kept on Bring.\n\nMiss Duncan, who had only once or twice handled a car before, drove the car with Mr. Mackenzie's body in it for nearly three-quarters of a mile into the settlement, the car finally falling into a wide ditch.\n\nMiss Duncan shouted for aid, but, failing to attract attention, ran to a house occupied by two Shanghai Volun teers, who communicated with the police. Mr. Mackenzie was hit by four bullets, one of them severing the jugular vein. The police found on the roadside near the scene of the murder 12 32 calibre empty cartridge cases.-Reuter.\n\nBRITISH COMMERCE AND CHINA.\n\nPLEA FOR CONFERENCE. The Association of British Chambers of Commerce have adopted a resolution which has been transmitted to the Prime Minister, stating their satisfaction that steps are being taken in agreement with the other Powers to bring about a peace-ful solution of the present troubles in China, and adding:\n\nThe association urge his Majesty's Govern-ment to arrange at the earliest possible date with the other Powers interested a conference i with the representatives of the different pro-Places of China with a view to bringing about a Jermanent and satisfactory settlement in that buntry.\n\nFRENCH NAVAL CHANGE IN FAR EAST.

He was honourably mentioned for the Hertford, Craven and Ireland Scholarships and approached very nearly, as the Latin phrase had it, to the winning of the Gaisford Greek Prose prize. I dare wager that there was a time when our Chancellor was tempted to stay in Oxford and live the life of a scholar there, but Oxford's loss was Hongkong's gain. Nor has our Chancellor, since he came among us as a cadet, allowed his muse to die of departmentalism—that awful condition which a distinguished Viceroy of India, in a moment of more than usual expansion, diagnosed as resulting not so much from moral delinquency as from \"mental hiatus.\"\n\nMr. A.

Mr. Chan Chak Lam and Mr. Yue Shui Chiu.\n\nVICE-CHANCELLOR'S ADDRESS.\n\nThe VICE-CHANCELLOR, addressing the assembly, said:-\n\nAN ORNAMENT TO THE UNIVERSITY.\n\nSir Cecil Clementi is now a Chinese scholar of substantial repute and, besides writing the University anthem in Latin verse, he has published \"Cantonese Love Songs\" (applause) and the \"Pervigilium Veneris.\" His Excellency once travelled from Kashgar to Kowloon and thereafter published a summary of the geographical observations recorded during the journey. He has also published a book on the Chinese in British Guiana.\n\nYour Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen,-Let me first explain why at the opening of these rites a departure was made from the usual ceremonial. Why we put strange garb upon our Chancellor and then hurried him away to take it off again, and why the Vice-Chancellor emerging from the academic seclusion in which it is his desire always to live performed for a few crowded minutes of his inglorious life exalted functions which ordinarily appertain to an office which belongs by right to the highest in the land. To return from this digression, when the offer came to him in 1916, our Chancellor was then administering the Government of British Guiana. He wrote accepting and expressing the hope that he would some day come back to Hongkong to receive the honour at the University's hands. That day has come.\n\nTo us in the University, in spite of the darkness which enfolds us, it is the dawn of a brighter era. We welcome you, Your Excellency, not only as our Chancellor but as one of our graduates whose scholarship is an ornament to the University and whose kindly sympathy and generous understanding will be to us who work here, an abiding consolation and encouragement. (Applause.)\n\nEducated at St. Paul's School, London, and passing in due course to Oxford as a Demy of Magdalen College, our Chancellor took a first class in the honours school of Classical Moderations and the Boden Sanskrit Scholarship. Dr. Arthur Woo and Dr. E. P. Minett, ...\n\nSir Reginald Edward Stubbs and I were schooled under the same ferule and in those days the scriptural maxim about the calamitous results of sparing the rod were apt to be interpreted more literally than they are now. \"Is it true,\" an agitated mother wrote in those brutal days, \"that capital punishment is still in vogue at Tonbridge ?\" Dr. Wood, the Headmaster, replied, \"I regret to say that capital punishment is not in vogue at Tonbridge. The punishment is purely corporal.\" (Laughter.)\n\nSIR R. E. STUBBS. Our late Governor won every scholarship and prize which Radley could offer and passed on to Oxford as an Exhibitioner of Corpus Christi College. He won a first class in the honours school of Classical Moderations and a first class in the final school of Literae Humaniores. He went into the Colonial Office in 1900 and rose rapidly. In 1913 he went to Ceylon as Colonial Secretary and in 1919 he came here as Governor. Of Sir Edward Stubbs' career as Governor of Hongkong I need not speak, but as one who knew him from his boyhood I cannot refrain from saying that the amazing quickness and tenacity of his intellectual grasp which was my envy and despair while we were at school together, continued to excite my wonder and admiration during the 20 months that I worked with him as Chancellor of this University. In the hour of its direst need Sir Edward Stubbs saved this University; and in conferring on him the doctorate of the University, we are enrolling in our records not merely a faithful Chancellor and a distinguished Governor but a great intellect. (Applause.) I understand that Sir Edward Stubbs' published works do not extend beyond the first volume of Lucas Historical Geography which he edited. But I have heard that he recorded from time to time in the files of the Hongkong Government utterances worthy of remembrance, if impossible of publication. (Laughter.)\n\nMR. R. H. KOTEWALL.\n\nMr. Robert Hormus Kotewall was educated at Queen's College and the Diocesan Boys' School, Hongkong. He entered Government Service in 1896 after winning the first place in a competitive examination. As a civil servant, he was given posts which were always before and have ever since been held by Britishers, viz:- Chief Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office, First Clerk in the Magistracy (a post usually held by men of legal training) and officiating Justice of the Peace. Mr. Kotewall's exploits in the soul-destroying pursuit of budget preparation were such as to attract the attention of H.M.'s Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nMr. Kotewall has always taken a great interest in education, especially vernacular education. He is a member of the Court and Council of the University, a University honorary examiner in Chinese, president of the University Football Club and Patron of a Roving Troop of Boy Scouts. He translated His Excellency's Latin University Anthem into Chinese verses of such erudition that it is said that no one but His Excellency can understand them. (Laughter.)\n\nA lover of books, Mr. Kotewall has a fine library of Chinese and English authors. He has written on Forestry and Government and is the author of two Chinese plays, one of which was performed on the occasion of the recent visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. Now a director of companies and a harassed man of business (most business men appear to be harassed now-a-days; I can't think why. If they have nothing to do, why not do it gracefully ?), Mr. Kotewall somehow finds time not only to serve the public with a devotion which is literally amazing, but also to attend to the troubles of his friends. And I doubt whether there is any one in the Colony who has more friends than Mr. Kotewall. (Applause.) To all of us in the University, whether teachers or students, Mr. Kotewall has ever been a friend who has never failed us in the hours of our respective needs. And all this has been done, and done without ostentation, in the midst of domestic anxieties before which the most public-spirited of men might reasonably have succumbed. In welcoming Mr. Kotewall into the goodly fellowship of honorary graduates, I cannot refrain from quoting what Dr. Johnson wrote of his friend, Henry Thrale, the brewer:\n\nSimple, open, and uniform in his manners,\n\nHis conduct was without either art or affectation.\n\nIn the senate steadily attentive to the interests of his king and country.\n\nHe looked down with contempt on the clamours of the multitude:\n\nThough engaged in very extensive business,\n\nHe found some time to apply to polite literature:\n\nAnd was ever ready to assist his friends labouring under any difficulties.\n\n242",

By the end of 1921 the continued disorders in Kuangtung, from which Hong Kong\n\noffered a safe haven of refuge, had raised the pressure on\n\nthe Colony's housing accommodation to a dangerous pitch, so\n\nmuch so that the Government was compelled to resort to the vexatious expedient of restricting rents by legislation. A wild boom in land speculation arose. Blocks of property and vacant land were sold and re-sold many times over in a few months, each time at a profit. No particular capital or knowledge was required. In one case an unemployed clerk speculated to the extent of over $80,000 on a legacy of $3,000. The Public Works Department was overwhelmed with applications for new lots. In these circumstances it was imperative that a comprehensive scheme and a clear policy of development should be formulated.\n\n9.\n\nAccordingly, in January 1922, a Town Planning Committee was appointed and the final result of its labours is shown in the enclosed key plan. This scheme deals with the problem of New Kowloon in what is, I submit, the only practicable manner viz., it provides for the filling to drainable levels of the cultivated swamps and tidal flats by\n\ncutting down the foothills.

SIR SHOU-SON CHOW Sir,-It is with deep sorrow that I endorse the remarks that have fallen from Your Excellency. My friendship with the late Mr. Ho Fook extends over a period of nearly twenty years and I always regarded him with esteem and admiration. A distinguished member of a distinguished family, he played no small part in the social and public life of the Colony during the last two decades. At the early age of twenty-six he was made a Justice of the Peace and so highly was his worth as a public man esteemed by the community that in 1917 the Government appointed him to be a member of the Legislative Council-the highest position to which a Chinese could aspire at that time. The outstanding characteristics of Mr. Ho Fook were simplicity of nature and ability to see more than one side of a question. He always brought to his official duties the same quiet energy and the same resourcefulness which so distinguished him as a business man. Although he nominally retired from public life about four years ago he never relaxed his interest in all matters concerning the welfare of the Colony. It was only about ten days before his death that he took an active part in a matter affecting the Chinese community and contributed materially towards its satisfactory settlement. Truly it can be said that he served Hong Kong faithfully and well to the end. On behalf of my Chinese colleague the Hon. Mr. Kotewall and myself and in the name of the Chinese community, I support the motion proposed and respectfully associate ourselves in the expression of sympathy with Mrs. Ho Fook and her family.\n\nThe motion was passed, all members of the Council standing.\n\nPapers\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY, by command of H.E. The Governor, laid upon the table the following papers:-\n\nOrder under section 7 of the Rating Ordinance, 1901, on 30th September, 1926.\n\nOrder under section 8 of the Naturalization Ordinance, 1902, on 7th October, 1926.\n\nRegulation under section 3 of the Post Office Ordinance, 1926, on 7th October, 1926.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Bill intituled, An Ordinance to enable the Governor to appoint such person as he may please to be Registrar of Marriages.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a second time.\n\nCouncil then went into Committee to consider the Bill clause by clause. No changes were made in Committee and upon Council resuming,\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third reading of the Bill.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.\n\nVolunteer Ordinance\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Bill intituled, An Ordinance to amend the Volunteer Ordinance, 1920.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a second time.\n\nCouncil then went into Committee to consider the Bill clause by clause. No changes were made in Committee and upon Council resuming,\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third reading of the Bill.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.\n\nnext\n\n# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nHong Kong and Canton\n\nH.E. THE GOVERNOR-Gentlemen, Before the Colonial Secretary moves the first reading of year's Supply Bill, it is proper to state that the circumstances under which the budget was drafted differ considerably from those in which it is introduced. The budget was drafted at a time when this Colony was, for no fault of its own, subject to an anti-British boycott, instigated by Bolshevik intrigue and conducted in open defiance—I will not say of treaties—but of the most elementary principles upon which civilized society is based, and as a kind of guerrilla warfare. But on the auspicious \"Double Tenth,\" five days ago, the Canton Government declared this boycott to be at an end, and all armed strike pickets were withdrawn from the frontiers of this Colony and from Canton. The information at present in my possession would not justify a statement that anti-British manifestations in Kuang-tung have ceased, and the position at Swatow appears to be less satisfactory than at Canton. But it is certain that a very definite step has been taken by the Canton Government to curb the lawless activities of strike pickets, and we may reasonably hope that a determined effort will now be made by the Cantonese authorities to re-establish law and order in the territory which they control and to stamp out piracy and brigandage.\n\n58\n\nThereupon flourishing trade with the Liang Kuang provinces. Trade cannot flourish in these provinces unless law and order are maintained; and the maintenance of law and order postulates the existence of a strong and stable government. Hong Kong desires to see in Kuang-tung and Kuang-hsi a strong, stable and enlightened Government. Of such a Government we should gladly be close friends and staunch supporters.\n\nAnother matter which is near our hearts is to see the curse of Bolshevism removed from China. The ideas permeating Bolshevism are wholly alien to the Chinese mind: and a moment's thought should suffice to convince the Cantonese authorities that in the development of the Liang Kuang provinces by the peaceful and orderly processes of trade and commerce Great Britain and the British Colony of Hong Kong can give more effective and lasting assistance than can the Russian Soviet. We uphold ideals which are dear to the Chinese mind, peace, good government, commercial enterprise, learning and literature, loyalty to the honoured traditions of the past and an orderly advance towards all that the future promises. But the Bolshevik record is at present a blood-stained page of revolution, terrorism, anarchy and intestine war. The civilized mind recoils with horror from its contemplation; and throughout China, I am thankful to say, there is now a growing abomination of all that Bolshevism means. It is our earnest hope that the Chinese people may pluck out this evil by the roots and cast it from their country.\n\nI think I may safely say that this Colony's most ardent desire is to see law and order re-established, if possible in China as a whole, but at least in the Liang Kuang provinces. There has, since the downfall of the Manchu Empire, been enough, and more than enough, bloodshed in these two provinces. Civil war has raged almost incessantly throughout their length and breadth. Pirates have infested the coast, the delta and the principal inland waterways. Brigands have been a constant danger to the roads, the villages and even to large cities. Trade and travel have become hazardous. Life itself is nowhere safe. From all these horrors the Colony of Hong Kong was a secure haven of refuge and it, therefore, prospered exceedingly. But prosperity due to such causes cannot last. True and enduring prosperity for this Colony can only be founded upon flourishing trade with the Liang Kuang provinces.\n\nYoung China now-a-days is prone to neglect the classic lore of Ancient China. Nevertheless the rival War Lords would do well to remember the words of Sun Tzu, a writer on the war in the 5th century B.C., that \"there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged war.\" Mencius, at a time when China was, as now, divided into many warring satrapies, is still more emphatic. He said: \"There are men who say I am skilled in warfare. I am not. Those who are skilled in battle are great criminals. Those who are skilled in battle should suffer exemplary punishment.\" The old philosopher Lao Tzu wrote:-",

While we were waiting outside the room, we felt rather nervous. \"Wake up, girls, don't be so nervous and be steady,\" said our mistress to us.\n\nThen the bell rang, and we went into the room for the first paper. Through my nervousness I took a wrong seat, No. 755 instead of 754. What a strange, big room it seemed with three long lines of desks and the countenances of the girls which were not familiar to us! Then entered two lady examiners who provided each of us with a question paper on which several questions were set. I, having an unsettled mind like Ulysses, took a long time to think whether I should take this one or the other, but at last I chose one. The time passed swiftly; just when I had finished my essay and had written half of my letter, I heard the lady speaking suddenly, \"Fifteen minutes more.\" I just finished in time. Now the first paper was over, and what a relief!\n\nThe bell rang again, and we dispersed for a moment and went back to the cloak room where there were conversations exchanged amongst us as if we were birds twittering on the tree in the morning. We had to be back again for another paper after an interval. By the end of the morning we went home for tiffin. \"How do you like the papers?\" asked my cousin. \"Well, the first one was not bad, but the second one was rather distasteful, for those sums were hard and tricky; I think I could hardly have got half of them right,\" said I.\n\n## 66\n\nAfter having my Free Hand Drawing in the afternoon, a day's work was over. I was glad to get home, which seemed to be the haven from the storms and perils of the world. Mathematics, a dreaded subject of mine, would start our second day's work next morning, so I looked them over and prepared for the morrow.\n\n## 29\n\nNext morning, I went to the University again, and it seemed that everything was quite familiar to me.\n\nThe longest examination was on Thursday afternoon. In the evening we returned home, the sun was already going down among purple islands of clouds.\n\nSeven days quickly passed, then all our work was over. I was so happy that my burden was released, yet I was full of eagerness about the coming out of the result.",

These people practically live on the doorsteps of the local banks, and not a day passes without they enter contract or other, either directly with the banks, or through representatives of those institutions, for the banks cannot recognise all and sundry.\n\nThese men follow the slightest change in quotations with the greatest interest, for they are gamblers all—in the business interpretation of the term.\n\n\"Are you worrying about the exchange also!\" was the query put to a merchant.\n\n\"I should say I am. I am just waiting for the bank manager to give me a rate. Who will send anything to Hong Kong at our prices?\" was the reply.\n\nAn Unquoted Rise. Passing on to another bank our representative met a Chinese well versed in exchange matters, and not a little interested in the fluctuation of the Hong Kong dollar.\n\n\"Have you heard?\" he asked, on sighting the Daily Press man, \"Exchange has gone up half a farthing, but the banks are not quoting it?\"\n\n\"No, I haven't heard,\" the writer replied, \"but why do you think the banks are not quoting it?\"\n\n\"A further drop is anticipated, my friend, that is why!\" was the cryptic answer he gave as he passed on.\n\nHighest\nLowest\nHighest\nLowest\n\n1887\n474\n1884\n3/93\n28\n\n1888\n431\n1885\n8/7\n3/33\n\n1889\n442\n418\n1886\n3/43\n2/11\n\n1890\n548\n41.15.16\n438\n1887\n3/41\n3/01\n\n1891\n483\n43\n1888\n3/1\n2/113\n\n1892\n432\n37%\n1889\n3/23\n2/114\n\n1893\n38.13-16\n30}\n1890\n3/102\n3/01\n\n1894\n31%\n27\n1891\n3/5\n3/08\n\n1895\n31.5-16\n27.3-16\n1892\n3/0\n2/82\n\n1896\n31.9-16\n292\n1893\n2/87\n2/2/\n\n1897\n29.13-16\n23@\n1894\n2/3\n1/11/\n\n1898\n98%\n25\n1895\n2/23\n1/11\n\n1899\n99\n265\n1896\n2/23\n2/1\n\n1900\n301\n27\n1897\n2/12\n1/92\n\n1901\n29.9-16\n25\n1898\n1/113\n1/93\n\n1902\n26\n21.11-16\n1899\n1/11\n1/10\n\n1903\n28\n\n1900\n2/1\n1/11\n\n1904\n28.9-16\n\n1901\n2/1\n\n1905\n30.5-10\n21.11-16\n1902\n\n1906\n331\n\n1903\n1/94\n1/108\n\n1907\n32.7-16\n\n1904\n1/61\n1/10.11-16\n\n1908\n\n1905\n2/11\n\n1909\n243\n\n1906\n1/64\n1/11.9-16\n\n1910\n261\n\n1907\n1/8\n\n1911\n261\n\n1908\n\n1912\n29.11-16\n\n1909\n1/92\n1/81\n\n1913\n293\n29\n1910\n1/10\n\n1914\n271\n221\n1911\n1/10\n\n1915\n271\n22.5-16\n1912\n2/1.1-16\n\n1916\n37\n261\n1913\n2/0.15-16\n1/11\n\n1917\n55\n35.11-16\n1914\n1/11\n1/81\n\n1918\n493\n42!\n1915\n1/11\n1/9\n\n1919\n79%\n47.7-16\n1916\n2/41\n\n1920\n89,\n381\n1917\n3/20\n2/3\n\n1921\n433\n303\n1918\n3/8\n2/11/\n\n1922\n37\n30\n1919\n5/2\n3/02\n\n1923\n33.11-16\n303\n1920\n6/2\n2/11\n\n1924\n\n1921\n3/12\n2/2\n\n1925\n\n1922\n2/7$\n2/23\n\n1926\n\n1923\n2/4/\n2/21\n\n1927\n\n1924\n2/51\n2/23\n\n1928\n\n1925\n2/51\n2/27\n\n1929\n26.7-10\n21.5-16\n1926\n2/43\n1/98\n\n1927\n2/03\n1/113\n\n1928\n2/1\n1/113\n\n1929\n2/01\n1/7!\n\n1/9.13-16\n\nA Very Happy New Year. A good many of these people are looking forward to a very happy Chinese New Year through a stroke of fortune or through their close association with the banks and intensive study of daily quotations, they figured on a drop in the Hong Kong dollar, and entered into commitments with this end in view.\n\nWhether they foresaw the present abnormally low rate is open to question, but it was learned on good authority yesterday that profit amounting to three, five and seven lakhs has been made by different number of speculators, while others have \"small\" profits of from $50,000 to $100,000 to show.\n\nThere were a few speculators who did not believe in the continued fall in the Hong Kong dollar, and these have been caught, but not too badly, as the bulk of the profits, so it is reported, have been made out of the banks.\n\nWhen the dollar on Thursday touched the lowest record to date, a pitiful scene was witnessed outside one of the local banks.\n\nMR. AND MRS. MAN-IN-THE-STREET.\n\nLOOK AT THE FALLEN DOLLAR.\n\nCOST OF LIVING AND FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES.\n\nWhile bank managers and professional, or amateur financiers, are discussing the silver basis, China's currency and the bank rate, Mr. and Mrs. Man-in-the-Street are asking themselves what the fall in the value of the dollar is going to mean to them. And they generally discuss the problem with long faces.\n\nThe cost of living will quite inevitably go up, though probably not to any appreciable extent until March. Six weeks from now, if the dollar still stands at 1/6, the cost of living will have increased by from 25 to 30 per cent.\n\n\"The evil-minded grocer will not be to blame. He will have to pay for his goods in sterling, and pay more dollars for his sterling than he did six months ago. If he is to continue in business he must increase his prices. The same applies to every form of retail trade.\n\nAt one of the banks an Indian merchant was seen in long conference with one of the officials.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nIt looks Not So Gloomy.\n\nAn Optimistic Note. A discussion of the situation with the leading retail merchants the Colony revealed some interesting facts.\n\nTheir general outlook not nearly so black as that of the man in the street and his wife. While realising that their standards will be adjusted to meet our incomes. There will be less indulgence in luxury certainly for a month or two, possible for longer, but probably little actual want.\n\n\"At first people stopped buying anything but necessities, but after a time they will accept the new prices as normal,\" a representative was told.\n\nThe retailers anticipate doing on the whole a smaller volume of trade during the coming year, but they do not seem to anticipate suffering very heavy consequences.\n\nSome are considering the policy of buying only enough stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock.\n\nHOW THE COLONY WILL GAIN.\n\nAN OPTIMIST'S VIEW.\n\nAmid general depression about the dollar, especially among those of us who live on \"fixed\" salaries it is, perhaps, good to have a little optimism, such as that conveyed by a well-known authority to a Daily Press representative yesterday.\n\nwas\n\nIn answer to the interviewer our authority agreed that with the depreciation of the dollar it naturally prophesied by several leading business magnates and newspapers that 1930 in Hong Kong would be a gloomy year.\n\n\"We always find \"destructive critics the world over,'\n\n\"but when constructive ones are wanted, they are rarely found. Coming down to hard facts\n\nInfluence of \"Jack Frost.\" But there are compensatory factors for the retailer. The cold spell for one.\n\nIn one of the most important European shops dealing in Oriental curios and objets d'art, our representative was told that while there had been less than the usual demand for jewellery and expensive wall pictures, there had been unusually good sales of Pekin and Tientsin carpets.\n\nOther merchants are experiencing good sales of woollen garments, coats, scarves and travelling rugs. Then there is what might be termed to borrow a war-time phrase the food-hoarding instinct.\n\nThe January sales should prove even more popular than usual this year.\n\nNo Increase In Prices! Mr. H. Overy, of Messrs. Wm. Powell, the well-known firm men's tailors and outfitters, viewed the situation with confidence and even optimism.\n\n\"We shall not put \"We buy our prices up,\" he said. only twice a year, in September and March. Our September goods were bought at the rate of 1/11d., and our customers will have full benefit. If the dollar does not rise-which I think it will-of course our March buyings must be affected.\n\nWe have no intention of buying goods in any but our usual British market and the price of small haberdashery articles will in any case remain what it is at present. There is no direction in which the fall of the dollar helps us.\n\nTrade Prospects.\n\n\"As I have already mentioned, men must live, therefore there will always be a demand for goods. The sudden drop of the dollar naturally sets the heads of business-houses thinking and waiting until matters improved before taking further orders.\n\nThus temporarily their business is at a standstill and, what is more a man is apt to cry out louder when in pain than from pleasure and so it is here.\n\nNow if the intrinsic value of the dollar is low, foreign investors and financiers will invest in the Colony, because they will get more dollars as the equivalent of their own currency.\n\nOne can always get 8 or 10 per cent. even more on investments locally,- shares, property mortgages, etc.\n\nWith the money market easy naturally the prices of the various investments will increase by leaps and bounds.\n\nTherefore, I can see a very bright silver lining to the clouds in the near future.\n\nA colony with a stable and well-established government like ours, where every- one has a pretty fair deal-a shelter for political refugees from neigh- bouring places, a harbour of world- renowned fame, where millions come and go, of all colours, races, and religions a Mecca of trade with hundreds of princely merchantmen constantly coming and going—such a Colony can never languish.\n\nThe sun never sets on the British Em- pire; where the British flag flies one rarely find her sons with cold feet- so let there be none among us!\n\nCORRESPONDENCE.\n\nTHE FALL OF THE DOLLAR.\n\nTo the EDITOR HONG KONG DAILY PRESS.\n\nSIR,-I should not have thought it possible that so many editorial and interviews with comments could authorities \"anonymous have exhibited such a complete lack of comprehension of fundamental facts as has come to light on this subject.\n\nOne authority, who granted a long interview, implied that if the Hong Kong dollar had been fixed at about 2-, we should, by our geographical position, have had a sentimental effect on Shanghai and prevented the drop in silver!\n\nIt is hardly necessary to dwell upon the absurdity of such a view.\n\nMost of the commentators obsessed with the idea that if it were not for some imaginary conspiracy, we in Hong Kong would really be basking in prosperity, with a 2/- dollar, and surveying with aloofness the fate of China's silver currency.\n\nTheir arguments and comments overlook the fact that this Colony has always been on a silver basis.\n\nOur Hong Kong dollar is a silver dollar and our bank-notes promise to pay the bearer on demand the amount expressed in silver dollars.\n\n...\n\nPage 108\n\nTHE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\n...\n\nPage 109",

        "content_text": "198\n\nTHE UNION.\n\nIn the season 1927-1928 the University Cricket Club headed both the Senior and Junior Leagues. The increasing capacity of the students to manage themselves the various athletic clubs and the general business of the Union in all its varied activities, is most encouraging. The students themselves found it necessary to raise the annual subscriptions to the Union and the entrance fees. They agreed among themselves that this must be done and proceeded, with the approval of the Council, to carry the change into effect. Every student of the University has to join the Union.\n\nThe financial burden which the upkeep of the University Athletic Ground and certain other grounds and tennis courts elsewhere imposes on the Union was emphasised in the last report. Through the kind offices of Mr. W. H. Bell, the Asiatic Petroleum Company (South China), Ltd., gave $1,000 which enabled the University to repair two pucca tennis courts which had become useless. This was followed by a further gift from the same Company of $1,500 for returfing the University Athletic ground.\n\nLAND AND BUILDINGS.\n\nProvision is being made for the supply of nullah water to May and Eliot Halls for the purposes of flushing and cleansing. The work of laying the pipes and putting up the necessary tank is being carried out by the Water Authority. During the year under review the path which leads from the University Path to Lugard and Eliot Halls was completely reconditioned; the whole of the drainage system was also surveyed, defects being made good. The western end of the revetment wall between May and Eliot Halls caused some anxiety but thanks to the prompt attention of the Public Works Department the wall has been strengthened and made safe.\n\nThe University has very little money that it can afford to spend on its grounds. The gardeners employed are few and not particularly skilful. But the University estate has been kept in reasonably good condition and is a haven of quiet pleasantness not only for members of the University but also for those who live near.\n\nThe authorities welcome the latter, provided that they will behave themselves properly and not disfigure the place with litter and filth. Unfortunately, careless and ill-mannered visitors are becoming all too common. If the University's well-disposed neighbours will not use their influence to prevent visitors to the University's grounds becoming, as they sometimes are, an intolerable nuisance to those who live and work in the grounds, they may some day find that the grounds have been closed to the public. The University grounds are the private property of the University; they are in no sense either Government or public property.\n\nThe need for a responsible caretaker who would be in immediate charge of the grounds and buildings of the University is becoming more and more pressing. The proper care of such a considerable estate involves frequent inspection and unremitting attention. All the work now falls on the Registrar and Vice-Chancellor.\n\nSTUDENTS' Residence.\n\nDuring 1928 there were 257 students in residence.\n\n  \n    Lugard Hall\n    40\n  \n  \n    Eliot Hall\n    59\n  \n  \n    May Hall\n    63\n  \n  \n    Morrison Hall\n    24\n  \n  \n    St. John's Hall\n    57\n  \n  \n    St. Stephen's Women's Hall\n    14\n  \n  \n    \n    257\n  \n\nThe health of the students was good and the general standard of discipline well maintained.\n\nThe increasing number of women students is making the need for an adequate and properly equipped hostel for them an urgent necessity. During the year under review a campaign to collect money for a women students' hostel was launched at a meeting organized by Mrs. Southorn at Government House. This meeting was addressed by Miss Maud Royden. An influential committee is now trying to collect the necessary funds, which are considerable.\n\nCONCLUSION.\n\nThe University goes on. Its popularity and influence are growing, especially in the Colony of Hong Kong, and its general\n\nII\n\n199\n\nPage 190\n\nPage 191",

I did not know B.543 Dalip Singh until he came \nto Lok Ma Chau about May last. I was on ordinarily friendly \nterms with him. He never seemed depressed or unhappy. He never \ngrumbled or complained about anything. He never expressed any \nannoyance about being sent out to the New Territory again.\n\nOn July 1st, I was on station guard duty from 4 p.m. onwards. \nWhen I went on duty at 4 p.m., B.543 and B.553 Gurdit Singh were \nsitting under the trees close to the back gate. I patrolled \nto and fro. Those two were chatting together. The other Indian \nofficers were inside the Station. About 4.30 p.m., I saw B.543 \ngo inside the compound and heard him say 'when the Sergeant \nreturns, I will ask permission to go to San Tin.' B.543 had \nnot then got his rifle. I did not see him come out again. \nB.553 continued to sit under the trees. I did not see B.543 by \nthe flag staff. I only patrolled a few paces in each direction \nfrom the path. I had no orders to patrol right round the Station.\n\nAt 4.55 p.m., I was close to the path when I heard a shot round \nthe corner from the direction of the big tree and the flag staff. \nI went to the corner and then saw B.543, still in mufti, lying \non the ground on his stomach near the flagstaff with his rifle \npointing towards the station path. I saw him fire a second \nshot. At the same time, I saw the Officer in Charge coming up \nthe Station path. B.543's rifle was pointing towards him. On \nseeing this, I drew my revolver and at a range of about 25 yards \nfired all six rounds at B.543 as he lay on the ground. I had \npassed my revolver test about a month previously and got about \n85 points out of... I don't know the maximum.\"",

        "content_text": "## K. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANISATION IN THE BRITISH ARMY.\n\n## L. PROPOSALS FOR A SANITARY ORGANISATION FOR GREECE.\n\nIn 1886 Lord Wolseley wrote- \"The Sanitary Officer as a general rule is a very useless functionary. In future so long as this fad continues my recommendation is to leave him at the base.\"\n\nFollowing this lead the Combattant Officers treated the Army Doctors as a class which must be endured but which ought not to be encouraged. The status of the Army Medical Officer dropped and with it the recruitment of suitable men. The corps became poor in quality and insufficient in quantity. The more it went downhill the more it lost prestige with the Combattant Service and the more difficult became the organisation and control of measures for the prevention and cure of disease. The vicious circle or rather the vicious spiral continued until it was found impossible to fill the establishment. Doctors refused to join a Service where they were looked down on by those who had been fellow students in school and in college. The blame was placed on the British Medical Association for not encouraging its members to join when it should have been placed on the shoulders of those who considered themselves the senior service, and who refused to recognise the just claims of the Medical Officers.\n\nThe South African war showed the folly of this policy. In an average army strength of 208,000 there were in two and a half years 58,000 cases of Enteric with 8,000 deaths. There were 7,000 killed in action. The incidence rate was therefore 110 per 1,000 per year and the death rate was 15 per 1,000 per year, among a body of carefully picked men operating in what is generally considered to be one of the most salubrious districts of the world.\n\nAfter the war every effort (except that of offering proper status and pay) was made to stimulate recruiting. Officers visited the various medical schools and universities lauding the advantages of the service but with little result. Good men would not join.\n\nAt last radical changes were made. The corps was created a Royal Corps, its Officers were given full military rank and titles and equality with the Combattant Officers. Competition for admission became active, and the establishment became complete.\n\nDuring the Great War on the Western Front with an average army strength of 1,250,000 there were in four and a half years 7,500 cases of Enteric with 266 deaths. The incidence rate was 1.33 per mille per year and the death rate 0.048 per mille per year.\n\nPrior to the war, sanitary work had been carried out by the Regimental Medical Officer. During the war, as the need for specialisation became more apparent, the separation of the Medical Corps into Sanitary and Clinical Units became more and more complete.\n\nAt the close of the War, it was realised that a re-organisation was necessary to allow for the differentiation of duties required by the development of medical science and to ensure the proper promotion of those men who desired to specialise in the important branches of Hygiene and Pathology. The Service was therefore divided into three branches, the Hygiene Branch, the Pathological Branch, and the Medical Branch, each under its own Director and all under the general supervision of the Director General of the Army Medical Service. This is the organisation as it is today.\n\n## League of NATIONS HEALTH ORGANISATION\n\n### Collaboration with the Greek Government in the Sanitary re-organisation of Greece.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State for the Greek Government in a letter to the Medical Director of the Health Section of the League requests the assistance of the Health Organisation of the League in the sanitary re-organisation of Greece.\n\nThe League declares its willingness to help and proposes that its President and permanent Vice-President together with Professor Leon Bernard, Sir Geo. Buchanan and the Chairman of the Malaria Commission should hold themselves at the disposal of the Council of the League of Nations and the Greek Authorities to give assistance if so desired in the matter of carrying out enquiries and giving advice.\n\nThe League sent to Athens to make surveys as a foundation for advice: \n- Dr. Rajchman, Medical Director of the League.\n- Prof. Haven Emerson of the University of Columbia.\n- Dr. Allen McLaughton of the U.S.P.H.S. Service.\n- Dr. C. L. Park of the Australian Commonwealth Health Service.\n- Prof. B. Boric, Director of the Institute and School of Hygiene, Zagreb.\n- Dr. M. D. Mackenzie of the Health Section of the League of Nations.\n\nThe President and permanent Vice-President of the Health Committee, Sir Geo. Buchanan, the Chairman of the Malaria Commission and Prof. Pittaluga, Professor of Parasitology of the University of Madrid and member of the Malaria Commission went to Athens and met the survey committee on April 7th, 1929.\n\n### Extract RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMMITTEE.\n\n| Recommendation |\n| --- |\n| Satisfactory results cannot be obtained from any mere expansion of the present system or lack of system. The Public Health Service to be effective must be arranged on a new basis. |\n| The technical personnel of the P.H. Service whether working in the centres or the provinces should consist of men thoroughly trained in modern methods of preventing disease and in the modern practice of hygiene. |\n| The Public Health Service should have Sanitary Inspectors and Health Visitors. |\n| The establishment of new technical services and of a School of Hygiene is essential. |\n| At first, experts from abroad are necessary. |\n| Greek Officers should be sent abroad to study pending the completion of the School of Hygiene. Hospital nurses and sanitary inspectors should start training now. |\n| A nucleus of the permanent Hellenic Health Service should be started at the earliest practical date. It should consist of a School of Hygiene and new technical service at the Centre (Athens) and in the province of the personnel responsible for the areas selected for the scheme. |\n| There should be a Central Sanitary Administration to which should be transferred those central services which at present are included in other Ministries. It should be an under-secretariat of health under the Prime Minister. |",

        "content_text": "# \nCopy. \n\nHon. Col. Sec., \n\n1. I have considered the suggestion in paragraph 4 of the Admiralty letter of the 21st September, that the court would probably have been satisfied had the accused been charged with conspiracy to act piratically under section 1 of 12 and 13 Vict. c. 96.\n\n2. The section in question provides for trial of persons charged with treason, piracy, felony, robbery, murder, conspiracy or other offence of what nature or kind soever committed upon the sea or in any haven, river, creek or place where the Admiral or Admirals have power, authority or jurisdiction.\n\n3. I am of opinion that this statute is mainly if not wholly municipal and that its intention was to provide convenient places for the trial of offences of all kinds committed outside the local jurisdiction, but within the Admiralty jurisdiction, and that the courts here would not hold that it gave them jurisdiction to deal with conspiracies and other offences of what nature or kind soever committed by foreign nationals against foreign nationals on foreign ships on the high seas. I am of opinion that the Hong Kong Courts have jurisdiction to deal certainly with piracy jure gentium and possibly other offences jure gentium.\n\n4.\n\n5. There is much text book authority for the proposition that assaults and acts of violence upon vessels whether robbery be effected or not is piracy (c.f. Hall pp. 313 and 314; Oppenheim p. 500). Some authorities deal with cruising with intent to rob or organizations for the purpose of plunder as piracy (c.f. Pitt Cobbett p. 286; Westlake p. 185; and Stephen's Digest, Article 108); but none deal with it as a punishable conspiracy in so far as it falls short of piracy.\n\n6.",

It is even more interesting \n\nto note that in the Piracy Act, 1721, 8 George I, \n\nc.24, s.1, it was enacted that \"in case any person or persons belonging to any ship or vessel whatsoever \n\nupon meeting any merchant ship or vessel upon the \n\nhigh seas or in any port haven or creek whatsoever, \n\nshall forcibly board or enter into such ship or vessel \n\nand though they do not seize and carry off such \n\nship or vessel shall throw overboard or destroy any \n\npart",

On April 13th an Oriole was seen and heard in full song in a garden at Tai Po. THE ASHY DRONGO (Dicrurus leucophaeus hopwoodi).\n\nThis rare visitor has been observed in the Botanical gardens since January 6th, at the time of writing April 6th the bird is still with us. On page 65 Vol. III, No. 1, of the Hong Kong Naturalist, it was stated that this was the first time we have recorded the Ashy Drongo, this is incorrect for in February and March 1930 a solitary bird was seen in these gardens, see page 90 Vol. I, No. 2, of the Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nOn April 6th, the day on which the Black-naped Oriole was first seen, an observer watched these two rare species perched close together on the same tree in the Botanical gardens,\n\nBIRDS OF THE SHAM CHUN VALLEY.\n\nAs a typical example of the number of species of birds that can be seen in an afternoon in the New Territory, the following list is given, it was compiled by a party of five observers on March 19th whilst walking up the Sham Chun valley towards the villages of San Uk Ling and Muk Wo.\n\nThis district was entirely new ground to all in the party:-\n\nChinese Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis insignis).\nEastern Little Blue Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis bengalensis).\nEastern White-breasted Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis fusca).\nChinese Fan-tail Warbler (Cisticola juncidis tintinnabulans).\nBrown Bush-Warbler (Oreopneuste f. fuscata).\nEastern Quail (Coturnix c. japonica).\n\nSouth China Grey Tit (Parus cinereus commixtus),\nChinese Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus cathœcus).\nChinese Tailor Bird (Orthotomus sutorius longicauda).\nBlack-necked Mynah (Gracupica nigricollis).\nChinese Crested Mynah (Aethiopsar c. cristatellus).\nChinese Red-vented Bulbul (Molpastes hæmorrhous chrysorrhoides).\n\nChinese Red-whiskered Bulbul (Otocompsa emeria jocosa).\nChinese Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis sinensis).\nRichard's Pipit (Anthus r. richardi).\nEastern Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis hodgsoni).\nChinese Dayal Bird (Copsychus saularis prosthopellus).\nChinese Rufous-backed Shrike (Lanius s. schach).\n\nEastern House Swallow (Hirundo rustica gutturalis).\nWhite-rumped Swift (Apus p. pacificus).\nChinese Stonechat (Saxicola torquata stejnegeri).\nDaurian Redstart (Phœnicurus a. auroreus).\nCrow Pheasant (Centropus s. sinensis).\n\nSouth China White-Eye (Zosterops simplex simplex).\n\nNotes & Comments\n\n149\n\nChinese Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus saturatus).\nEastern Turtle Dove (Streptopelia o. orientalis).\nBlack-eared Kite (Milvus lineatus).\nEastern Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus calidus).\n\nChinese Magpie (Pica pica sericea).\nLittle Egret (Egretta g. garzetta).\nCattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis coromandus).\nChinese Blackbird (Turdus merula mandarinus).\n\nGrey Wagtail (Budytes cinereus caspicus).\nWhite-faced Wagtail (Motacilla alba leucopsis).\n\nTOTAL 34 SPECIES.\n\nIt will be noticed that several of the common species were not seen, such as the Blue Magpie, Babbling Thrush, Violet Whistling Thrush, Kestrel, Collared Crow and Cuckoo, so that it seems reasonable to suppose that by putting in a whole day upwards of 40 different species might be observed. We ask readers to endeavour to better this total and forward to us their list for comparison.\n\nNESTING NOTES.-March and early April, 1932.\n\nNests have been observed as follows:-\n\nChinese Magpie (Pica p. sericea) March 14th in University compound; March 17th Kai Lung, nest in a pine tree at 30 feet containing 3 youngsters estimated at not less than a fortnight old; March 17th near Lower Kai Lung in a pine tree at 20 feet, nest with one egg; March 19th Victoria Road in a pine tree at 15 feet,—2 eggs; March 22nd Kam Tin in a Melia tree at 30 feet,-4 eggs, these eggs were especially large for a magpie measuring 1.1 by 1.45 inches as compared with an average of 0.9 by 1.3, but as the nest was that of a Magpie and the bird was seen leaving the nest there can be no doubt as to the identity of the eggs.\n\nCollared Crow (Corvus torquatus) March 17th at San Tin situated 40 feet up in the fork of a Banyan Tree. The nest was composed of small branches, grass and mud, and contained 3 young birds about a week old; March 19th Aberdeen district in a Pine Tree at 18 feet, nest composed of small branches and pine needles lined with cotton wool, 5 eggs, four eggs were a uniform colour one egg much lighter average size of the eggs 1.6 by 1.2 inches. These are the first records we have made of the nests of these birds in the colony. The note of the Collared Crow is a harsh deep croak somewhat reminiscent of the raven.\n\nBlack-necked Mynah (Gracupica nigricollis).

        "content_text": "242\n\n28\n\nCHINA REPORT\n\nThe Chinese academic authorities whom we consulted were unanimous in their approval of the proposed scheme of visiting lectureships. They regarded it as one of the best methods that could be devised of promoting cultural relationships and understanding between the British and Chinese peoples. From conversations with educational leaders it was gathered that in the general opinion of the Chinese the best results would be attained by bringing out from Great Britain eminent scholars who would devote themselves to intensive work for perhaps six months at particular academic centres such as Peiping (the seat of several universities) or the Nanking-Shanghai region or Canton, where each lecturer would not only give courses of lectures but would also familiarise himself with, and perhaps take an active part in the academic life of, his chosen centre. The alternative is that each lecturer should spend his time in visiting various parts of the country giving a few lectures at each University. This procedure might be adopted with advantage in some cases, for sometimes—as in the case of Professor John Dewey—it has been followed with good results; but it is the former alternative that seems to be regarded with most favour.\n\nWith regard to the subjects which should be represented by the British men and women invited to lecture in China, we find that the Chinese demand is for lecturers on the social, political and physical sciences, technology, economics, philosophy, and English literature. We were not specifically directed by the Committee to ascertain and report the names of individual British scholars who would be welcomed in China, but having regard to what we believe to be China's greatest educational needs at the present day we venture to express the opinion that, for reasons which we should be prepared to specify, the Committee would not go wrong if it were to offer lectureships, within the next few years, to the following persons: Graham Wallas, Harold H. Mann, Ernest Barker, Sir W. Beveridge, Canon C. E. Raven, A. M. Carr-Saunders, and Harold J. Laski. With regard to Dr. Mann, we would add that his advice and experience would be highly valued by that increasing number of Chinese who are interesting themselves in social experiments and in that important mass-education movement of which one of the most distinguished leaders is Dr. James Yen. As to Professor Laski, it may not be out of place to mention the fact that it was the purpose of the Central University (Nanking) to invite him to visit China this year or next. It might be possible for the Universities' China Committee to associate itself with the Central University in this invitation and to relieve that institution of a portion of the expenses by appointing him to a lectureship under the proposed scheme. There are many other eminent teachers and thinkers in Great Britain who might with great advantage to both countries be sent out by the Committee to give courses of lectures in academic centres. Among the names suggested to one or more of our delegation by the Chinese themselves may be mentioned J. W. N. Sullivan, Professor Eileen Power, J. M. Keynes, and J. A. Hobson. A group of educational leaders in Peiping whose main interest happens to lie in the direction of English literature and art included in their list of recommendations the names of Middleton Murry, Aldous Huxley, Roger Fry, Robert Graves, Edmund Blunden and Lascelles Abercrombie. Many other suitable names are likely to suggest themselves to the members of the Committee, and perhaps it might be worth while to circularise the British universities on the subject and invite their suggestions.\n\nIt is less easy to carry out the instructions of the Committee to recommend candidates for lectureships tenable in Great Britain by Chinese, not so much because there is a lack of scholars in China who are qualified to act as interpreters of Chinese culture to the West as because some of them have little or no knowledge of English and also because many of the most competent scholars have either abandoned an educational for a political career or cannot be spared from their own universities. In a speech made in June last by Mr. Chu Chia-hua, one of the best-known educational leaders in China, he observed (according to press reports) that \"there was a dearth of outstanding scholars in China and owing to the absorption of many of them in politics there was a shortage of men qualified to hold the position of professors; and having regard to the vast sums which were being expended in sending students abroad, it would be more profitable, and less costly, to invite an increased number of eminent foreigners to give lectures in China\". This is a very significant utterance from the head of the Central National University in the capital of China, who happens also to be Chairman of the Board of Trustees; and incidentally it indicates that our proposed method of utilising that small portion of the indemnity fund which is to be administered by the Universities' China Committee is likely to be in complete harmony with any educational programme hereafter to be adopted by the Board.\n\nThough Chinese names for the purpose we have in view are less numerous than English ones, it is not impossible to mention a few distinguished Chinese scholars who would probably be both able and willing to accept invitations to lecture in Great Britain. Among them are V. K. Ting, L. K. Tao, T. C. Chao, William Hung, Y. Y. Tsu, Anson Chow, T. Z. Koo, Dr. James Yen, and Dr. Lin Yu-t'ang.\n\n29\n\nRECOMMENDATIONS BY THE DELEGATION\n\n243\n\nPage 150\n\nPage 151",

        "content_text": "## No. 2\n**Judgment of Wood, Acting C.J. delivered 1st April, 1931** -continued.\n\n10 ment of the Privy Council in **The Attorney General for the Colony of Hong Kong v. Kwok A Sing** (supra at p. 199), from which judgment I quote the following opinion of the Judicial Committee:-\n\n\"They see no reason to doubt that the charge of Sir Charles Hedges, Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, to the grand jury, as reported in the case of **Rex v. Dawson** (13 State Trials, 454) and which was made in the presence and with the approval of Holt C.J. and several other common law judges, contains a correct exposition of the law as to what constitutes piracy jure gentium.” He there says \"piracy is only a sea term for robbery, piracy being a robbery within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty\".\n\n\"If the mariners of any ship shall violently dispossess the master and afterwards carry away the ship itself or any of the goods, with a felonious intention in any place where the Lord Admiral hath jurisdiction, this is robbery and piracy.\" The standard forms of indictments contained in Archbold's Criminal Pleading include an allegation of stealing. In the records of this court there are two interesting indictments to which I have drawn attention. They are connected with what are locally known as the Sunning and the Haiching piracies. Both indictments were laid under 1 Vict., c. 88, s. 2, which deals with certain violent acts connected with the crime of piracy. The distinguishing feature between these two occurrences was that in the case of the Sunning the prisoners succeeded in dispossessing the master and obtaining control of the ship (which was subsequently retaken from them by the gallant action of the ship's officers), while the attack upon the Haiching was foiled and the attackers at no time controlled the bridge. The indictment in connection with the Sunning was filed in March, 1927, and that in connection with the Haiching in February, 1930. Both indictments were filed by the present learned Chief Justice, Sir Joseph Kemp, who was then Attorney General. He charged the first set of prisoners with \"Piracy with assault with intent to murder\". In the particulars of offence he set out the acts of violence and after so doing proceeded \"and then and there committed the crime of piracy in respect of the said ship by stealing with force and violence the said ship\". By way of contrast the later indictment alleged \"wounding persons on board a ship with intent to commit piracy\" and the particulars of the offence corresponded with this statement. It would thus appear that at the time when these two indictments were drafted, the draftsman gave effect to the opinion that the stealing of the ship constituted an essential element in the crime of piracy.\n\n1st April, 1931 -continued.\n\nLeaving the records of the courts, I now come to the consideration of the term \"piracy\" as it has been used in the statutes dealing with piracy (other than municipal piracy). It was not necessary for the learned Attorney General to argue, nor did he do so, that cruising with a piratical object by itself rendered a pirate liable to be punished by international law in national courts. Still less that the status and reputation of a pirate was such as to render him amenable to this court. It has been agreed by the learned Attorney General, in presenting the view of the crown, that in order to constitute the crime of piracy for the purpose of these proceedings, there must have been present not only a piratical mind, but also a piratical act. The enquiry necessitated here will seek, in the language of the statutes, to ascertain the nature of the requisite act; and for the purpose of the question of law here under consideration, the issue has been narrowed to discussion whether violence for the purpose of robbery is by itself enough or whether further a completed robbery is required. This enquiry may be usefully prosecuted by study of statutes passed in England to supplement the common law relating to piracy. That not every piratical act brings the offender within reach of the common law may be inferred from the language of \"An Act for the more effectual suppression of Piracy,\" 11 William III, c. 7, s. 8, which provides: \"If any commander or master of any ship shall in any place where the Admiral hath jurisdiction turn pirate and piratically and feloniously run away with his ship... he shall be adjudged, deemed and taken to be a pirate, felon and robber and being convicted thereof according to the directions of this Act shall have and suffer pains of death as pirates, felons and robbers upon the seas ought to have and suffer.\" By the same section it was provided also that \"If any person shall lay violent hands on his commander whereby to hinder him from fighting in defence of his ship and goods committed to his trust or that shall confine his master or make or endeavour to make a revolt in the ship he shall be similarly punished. The legislature here declared certain acts to be piratical in character and yet at the same time found it necessary to provide by statute for their punishment. It is even more interesting to note that in the Piracy Act, 1721, 8 George I, c. 24, s. 1, it was enacted that \"In case any person or persons belonging to any ship or vessel whatsoever, upon meeting any merchant ship or vessel upon the high seas or in any port, haven or creek whatsoever, shall forcibly board or enter into such ship or vessel and though they...",

Yet in the case of piracy jure gentium it would seem beyond doubt that international law has done no more than establish the principle that by engaging in piracy a person becomes **hostis humani generis** and forfeits all claim to protection by his own country; and that any country may therefore assume to punish him 'whether he is a subject of that country or not and wherever the offence is committed.\" [Cf. Roscoe's Criminal Evidence, 13th edition, p. 215.] What exactly constitutes a piracy and how it shall be tried and punished in any particular country within the comity of nations is left to be determined by that country.\n\n15. ...\n\n## Judgment of Wood, Acting C.J. delivered 1st April, 1931.\n\n## Judgment of Lindsell, J. delivered 1st April, 1931 -continued.\n\nIn England prior to 1536 the Lord High Admiral took cognizance of piracy as a crime, and by the Statute of Henry VII (28 Henry VIII, c. 15) passed in that year and by further Statutes of the first half of the 19th century first Royal Commissioners, then the Central Criminal Court and finally the Common Law Courts of Assize, Oyer and Terminer and Gaol Delivery assumed a concurrent jurisdiction. If any competent Court has jurisdiction, derived directly from International Law, to deal with piracy, what need was there to implement that jurisdiction by means of Statute? In this connection it is not without significance that whereas in other directions the Courts of Common Law challenged the authority of the Admiral's Court (Volume 1 Halsbury, p. 59, paragraphs 86 & 87) they seem to have put forward no claim to jurisdiction over pirates.\n\nIt would thus appear that the jurisdiction of the English Courts over piracy jure gentium is based not on international law but on Statute; and if this contention is correct it follows inevitably that the jurisdiction of this Court in respect of such piracy is derived from the Statute 12 & 13 Vic. C. 96, the Admiralty Offences (Colonial) Act, 1849, and from no other source.\n\nSection 2 of that Statute reads as follows:-\n\"If any person within any Colony shall be charged with the commission of any treason, piracy, felony, robbery, murder, conspiracy of what nature or kind soever committed upon the sea or in any haven, river, creek or place where the Admiral or Admirals have power, authority or jurisdiction, or if any person charged with the commission of any such offence upon the sea or in any haven, river, creek or place shall be brought to trial in any Colony, then\n| Column 1 | Column 2 |\n| --- | --- |\n| No. 2. | 10 |\n| and in every such case all Magistrates, Justices of Peace, Public Prosecutors, Juries, Judges, Courts, Public Officers and other persons in such Colony shall have and exercise the same jurisdiction and authorities for inquiring of, trying, hearing, determining and adjudging such offences, and they are hereby respectively authorized, empowered and required to institute and carry on all such proceedings for the bringing of such person so charged as aforesaid to trial, and for and auxiliary to and consequent upon the trial of any such person for any such offence wherewith he may be charged as aforesaid, | as by the law of such Colony would and ought to have been had and exercised or instituted and carried on by them respectively if such offence had been committed and such person had been charged with having committed the same upon any waters situate \"within the limits of any such Colony, and within the limits of the local jurisdiction of the Courts of Criminal Justice of such Colony.\" |\n\nThe very wording of this section to my mind goes to show it to be not merely declaratory of a jurisdiction already exerciseable by Colonial Courts but creative of a new jurisdiction.\n\nThat being so, it follows again that this Court in deciding what is and what is not a piracy, is bound by the interpretation of the term piracy which the English Courts and Statutes have placed upon it, and is not entitled to adopt any wider interpretation given by international jurists. From `Rex v. Dawson` down to `A.G. of Hong Kong v. Kwok A Sing` the proposition that piracy is only another term for sea robbery, or in other words that robbery is an essential element of piracy has (so far as can be ascertained) never been seriously challenged, and as regards the Statutes their language, particularly that of Section 2 of `1 Vict. c. 88`, appears to be founded on the assumption that piracy in itself involves something more than armed violence at sea.\n\nI agree therefore with my brother that the answer to the question of law reserved is that an accused person cannot be convicted of piracy in circumstances where no robbery has occurred.",

It is a fundamental policy of the Colony to treat **Hongkong, Canton and Macao** as one city for the purpose of public health, passports and various other purposes, which makes for free transit facilities.\n\n11. Our form of Government in the Colony is such as to throw on the traders the minimum effort. For all practical purposes everything is done for them, leaving them their entire time for barter in one form or another. Nothing is asked of the rank and file but to subscribe a very reasonable sum by way of taxation for maintenance. The Foreign elements are satisfied by their knowledge of the position, and the Chinese element is happy in the fact that the Government is disinterested and with no individual axe to grind.\n\n12. **Hongkong** affords a certainty of land tenure, and a security of personal property, not obtainable in China which is much appreciated by those who resort to the Colony.\n\n13. The Judiciary is independent of the Government, with the result that rights of property and security of contract are maintainable in a measure that does not appertain in China proper. In fact one of the early Ordinances of the Colony was passed to stop the Chinese in Canton fighting out their disputes in the **Hongkong Courts**.\n\n14. The Banking system in the Colony whilst being conservative is sufficiently elastic to meet the needs of commerce. In addition to the Foreign Banks, the Chinese Modern Banks are also well represented here. The Chinese Native Banks are honest and dependable save where they venture into western practices which they rarely understand or appreciate.\n\n## \n\n15. The system of taxation is neither heavy nor oppressive, and is carried equitably by the Colony as a whole. It should be the aim to spread the burden on the population as a whole and leave the basic industries as free as possible so as to attract trade to the Colony by reason of the cheapness of the services.\n\n16. The currency of the Colony, although at a period in the very early stages was based on the Indian Rupee, was at an early date centred on the Mexican Dollar which was regulated by the value of the silver and ever since has been so maintained. The value of silver has largely followed the price of commodities with the result that, save in exceptional circumstances, the Colony has rarely experienced a wide hiatus between the exchange value of its currency and commodities and has given a degree of stability which has been attractive to trade.\n\n17. The remittance by overseas Chinese to their families in China has largely augmented the invisible exports, and provided a continuous source of currency available for trade purposes, in hands of the bankers and exchange agents.\n\n18. **Hongkong** by reason of the various facilities and the many forms of security has become a residential haven for innumerable retired and rich Chinese, who bring their families here and invest their fortunes locally, thereby assisting in the constant circulation of money and making a ready market for all forms of securities.\n\n19. The educational opportunities are such that many Chinese from all parts of the Far East gather here, believing that the form of Western teaching available is a sure road to future preferment and a possible solution to many of China's difficult problems.\n\n20. The climate compared to some other parts of the Far East is equitable and healthy both for foreigners and Chinese, and is not such as to put an undue strain \n\n## \n\nPage 32 \nPage 12 \nPage 13",

That is not enough they must be further satisfied that all the evidence as put forward by the Crown are not inconsistent with any rational conclusion and the other rational conclusion is the conclusion put forward by the defence that these three children might have fallen over.\n\nMr. Bergue is my friend asking your Lordships to retry this case. Mr. Jackale cannot do that.\n\nI am asking your lordships to take all the evidence as put forward by the Crown as a whole and say whether they are not equally consistent with the conclusion put forward by the defence. I agree it has been put to the Jury, but I am putting it to this Court - I submit the jury was wrong in coming to that conclusion. They might be wrong in this – they may say \"We are satisfied that the fact as put forward by the Crown as a whole are consistent with the conclusion the Crown has asked us to come to\".

When the meal was over, they asked the priest how to get to the capital city, who answered \"From here to the capital is more than 200,000 miles, but do not worry, make up your mind to go and you will reach there quickly.\" Then he asked Chue \"Do you know Pooi To?\" The minister answered \"Yes, I know him well.\" Then the priest pointed to the north wall and showed him a cloth sack, a tall Abbot's staff, and a priest's alms bowl hanging there. He said \"Those are Pooi To's things. I beg you to give him back this alms bowl when you see him, and this letter that I will give you. And here is a green bamboo stick, which when you get back to your boat, throw into the water in front of the boat and shut the windows of the boat and sit quietly. You need not trouble to row or sail, for you will arrive at the capital very speedily.\"\n\n1\n\nThey all said goodbye and a young priest took them to the monastery door and showed them a path to follow which would bring them back to their vessel quickly. Once more on board, they did what they had been told, and soon found to their amazement that the boat had left the water and was sailing over the tops of the trees. After three days of this novel means of travel, they reached the Waai river (淮河) and arrived at a place named 'Chue Tseuk' (朱雀) not far from the capital. Here they espied Pooi To riding along on a big horse, urging it along with a whip. Chue and his companions threw themselves down and began to worship Pooi To, who entered their boat, and they gave him the alms bowl and the letter. Now there were many people about, and when some of them saw the letter, they recognized it as that which Pooi To had written in Chan's house, for it was on two bits of yellow paper and only consisted of a few characters which were ugly and no-one could understand them. Pooi To held the alms bowl in his hand, and laughed. He said “Oh, they want me to go home and throw this bowl into the sky and catch it again. But I haven't seen the bowl for four thousand years!\"\n\nAnother version of this story recounts that when Chue reached the island, he met a priest carrying the alms bowl who said \"I was a pupil of Pooi To. Formerly I held this bowl, but I died in Ye Shing Monastery (冶城寺). Now I ask you to return this bowl to Pooi To for me. When you get to your boat, hold it in front of the boat and let one man hold the tiller, and you will reach the capital safely.\" And the minister did what he had been told, and reached Pooi To, as described before.\n\nPooi To must have returned to Chan's family by then because the story tells that on that day, he had left Chan's house early and did not return till dark. The following morning, Chan rose up early, and found that Pooi To had disappeared, but on his door, written in childish and uneducated characters, were the words \"Happiness family. The holy man will come and live there.\" After that, Pooi To never returned to Chan's family again, but he made several mysterious appearances and disappearances in the city, working miracles and curing sick people.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.",

        "content_text": "# \n## KOWLOON'S NEEDS \n## Mr. Braga Suggests Work On Roads \n## TERRITORY GARDENS \n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga said:- Your Excellency, I propose to direct my remarks on a few subjects more as a matter of policy than in criticism of the Budget proposals. We are passing through admittedly depressed times calling for sympathy and co-operative efforts in an earnest endeavour to provide a solution to real difficulties. I cannot recall past programmes of Public Works Extraordinary of major importance appearing without a single item, as is the case for 1937. The only item of consequence is scheduled under \"Loan Works\" for the commencement of a new Central Market. This being the case, attention is necessarily drawn to the question of the general staff of the Public Works Department. It may appear anomalous, however, that, without any large-scale public works, the Budget should be burdened with architects' salaries alone amounting to $157,209 in 1937.\n\nWhile inviting your Excellency's attention to what strikes more or less an unsatisfactory position, I would like to offer a suggestion. The eleven architects are technical officers with acquired experience who are not easily replaceable, and for that reason full advantage should be taken of their available professional services at the present time in making preparations and plans for the future construction of major public works when funds become eventually available, such as the Post Office and Government offices in Kowloon. Both these are referred to in the report of the Director of Public Works for 1935. An important extension of the Kowloon Hospital, viz., the maternity wards for Chinese patients, should not be further delayed.\n\nI am making no reflection on the holder of the office designated as \"Inspector of Furniture\" on p. 97 of the draft Estimates; but, it seems open to question if it is really necessary that an officer such as described should be paid a sterling salary equivalent to $8,560 next year. If in the discharge of his duties no special technical qualifications are called for, then in the interest of economy the present post is one that should be transferred to the dollar grade as soon as possible.\n\n## Roads Maintenance \n\nI still regard the Roads Maintenance Vote as wholly insufficient. To neglect roads so that they fall into a state of such serious disrepair as can be pointed out in Kowloon and the New Territories during the current year, is a policy that works out much more expensively in the long run. On this subject I would like to state that the Kowloon Residents' Association has requested me publicly to bring this question to the notice of your Excellency and this Council.\n\nI would like to go even further and state that Government should immediately take in hand what I might describe as essential road works. In this connection, I would urge the completion of the road from Argyle Street to Tam Kung Road. It only requires the widening and surfacing of the path from the approach road to the new Central British School to the Riding School—a length of about 300 or 400 yards to provide the logical connection by road between Kowloon Tong, Mongkok, Kowloon Hospital, etc., on the one hand, and Hunghom and Tokwawan on the other. Does it not appear strange that the Kowloon Hospital cannot be reached from anywhere at Tokwawan by car without having to travel the circuitous road round to Kowloon City?\n\nAnother path which should be similarly treated is the one running parallel with the railway between Waterloo Road and King's Park, thereby providing a through motor road from Waterloo Road to Gascoigne Road, and considerably shortening the distance from Kowloon Tong and Homuntin to King's Park and Chatham Road.\n\nI submit that the cost of these two very necessary improvements would be inconsiderable and would be fully justified. The saving in time which would be effected and from the Star Ferry wharf would be of great benefit.\n\nGovernment is to be commended for having widened the junction of Waterloo Road and Argyle Street. This used to be a danger spot for traffic, but where Waterloo Road should be at its widest (viz., at its junction with Nathan Road) it is actually at its narrowest. The dangerous bend at this point should be eliminated and thus make more room for the daily growing traffic flowing into Nathan Road.\n\nThese are outstanding road works not involving a great deal of money calling for immediate attention in Kowloon. I shall now deal with road requirements in the New Territories.\n\nThanks, I feel, are due for the construction of a new motor road through splendidly wooded country full of wild bird life from upper Shatin Road leading to the Shing Mun Valley.\n\n## Tsun Wan's Growth \n\nWith the completion of Tsun Wan Market, this district is gradually assuming the air of a growing township. The motor highway in the vicinity of the village is now much too narrow for the daily increasing traffic, and when it is remembered that the open ground by the roadside is utilised by the enterprising owners of the pineapple plantations as an open market for retailing the luscious fruit with the harvesting of the midsummer crop, the roads office of the P.W.D. might usefully consider the provision of a very necessary road improvement in this district. In particular, I trust Government will immediately widen the dangerous bend in the road just before Tsun Wan is reached.\n\nAgain, there are still several sharp hairpin bends near the Kowloon Reservoir which are a positive danger to traffic. The Roads Engineer probably finds his limitations in the indispensable provision of funds. The restriction need not be carried to the point of continuing a condition that is considered unsafe for speedy wheeled traffic. The bridge at the Reservoir and another in Shatin Valley at Tai Wa village just before reaching the railroad tracks, both require to be replaced. They are too narrow for two cars to pass abreast and, furthermore, were not designed, I am sure, to take the heavy loads now carried over them daily. Shatin village road is also capable of widening. The motorist, especially in view of the higher taxation on petrol and motor car licences, has a right to expect that these matters should receive prompt attention.\n\nWithout great expense also certain parts of the Castle Peak and Taipo Roads could be widened to give more room for pedestrians and people carrying bulky loads where they might be clear of motor traffic. Trees at present along the road need not be removed, but could mark the boundary for motor traffic, and behind the trees an extra stretch could be added to the road for use by pedestrians only.\n\n## Typhoon Damage \n\nIn speaking of trees, I feel that attention need only be drawn for the Botanical and Forestry Department to see that those up-rooted by the recent typhoon on the roads in the New Territories as well as in Kowloon will soon be replaced. Some information might be usefully given on the question of the water supply to the Castle Peak district. Beyond the bare official statement that a small supply scheme was investigated in the Colony last year, some indication of the intention of the Government regarding the prosecution of this scheme should be forthcoming.\n\nFor the benefit of many residents in various parts of the Peninsula I should like to urge, for the serious consideration of the Medical and Sanitary Department, that market gardens situated in the immediate vicinity of residential places should be completely done away with. Complaints are constantly made that the gardeners are in the habit of freely using nightsoil as a fertiliser, and no number of warnings deters them from carrying on the serious nuisance, which is a menace to public health.\n\nMuch can be said regarding the unsatisfactory condition of the Homuntin Cemetery. It is a seriously debatable question whether the shutting down of this cemetery for more burials and its transfer out of a central residential area has not now become imperative.\n\nAt any rate, the matter is one that should be looked into by the President of the Urban Council.\n\nThe health of the community should also be catered to by allocating more open spaces and playgrounds, especially in congested areas. This is notoriously lacking in the Homuntin district. Children in this locality can be seen in large numbers daily making use of the public roadways for games.\n\n## Bathing and Broadcasting \n\nIt has been truthfully said that we have the sea on almost every side of us and yet the majority of the citizens of this Colony are denied the amenities of its bathing beaches. It is the duty of the Government to make ample provision at least for the better health of its people, and a special point should be made to provide more public bathing beaches, especially on the Peninsula, with proper facilities for dressing, which should be made easily accessible to the residents of the Colony next summer. The minority class of the well-to-do can afford their well-appointed glorified pavilions and shacks. What about the majority of the middle class who are as little provided with an abundance of money and as badly off for a lot of time after office hours to indulge in this most popular form of healthful and beneficial recreation? Government may take a timely hint in earmarking definite large beach areas in Hebe Haven with the completion of the Customs Pass Road extension.\n\nPage 70  \nPage 71",

This road will before long make accessible to the motorists of the Colony a very beautiful part of the New Territories, including Hebe Haven and Clear Water Bay; so that it cannot be said that they will get nothing for their increased contribution to the revenue.\n\nTo meet the deficit, it is therefore proposed to draw upon our surplus balances, which will, it is anticipated, be thus reduced by the end of 1937 to approximately $8,000,000.\n\nIt is considered that, if ever, this policy is justified at the present time. Hong Kong is still feeling the effects of the serious depression of the last few years. One may feel that, with the stabilization of our currency, the increase, in some cases considerable, of our export trade in local manufactures, and the growing prospect of peace and prosperity among our neighbours in China, the stage is set for recovery; but until the curtain has gone up, the less added to the burden of industry the better.\n\nMoreover, 1937 will be in some ways a turning point. Early next year, three of our major public works—the Jubilee dam, the new prison, and the Queen Mary Hospital—will be finished. It will be necessary to decide then what standard of maintenance and what rate of progress should be set for the future. The problem of reducing the cost of personnel by reducing the scale of salaries for new appointees and by substituting local for European staff is under constant attention, and experiments in both directions are already being made.\n\nI shall now, with your permission, offer a few brief comments on some of the more important points connected with",

Senior Unofficial Member, and I wish at the same time to associate myself with his expression of thanks to the Hon. Colonial Secretary, the Hon. Financial Secretary, and the Hon. Director of Public Works. \n\nIt is a matter of extreme gratification to the Chinese community that the Government has decided not to impose additional taxation. This decision, if I may be permitted to say so, is a wise one, in view of the steady rise in the cost of living and the uncertainty of the future. \n\nThe Hon. Senior Unofficial Member has, on behalf of all Unofficial Members, tendered congratulations to the Hon. Inspector General of Police and to the Force under him on the good order which they have maintained. It is a matter of great pride to my Chinese colleagues and myself that in times like these the Chinese residents of Hong Kong should have conducted themselves with such admirable self-restraint, calmness and dignity, thus vindicating once more their reputation as a peace-loving and law-abiding people. \n\nWhile on this subject I should like to express, on behalf of the Chinese community, appreciation of the policy of the Government in regard to refugees. True to its tradition, Hong Kong has thrown open its doors to all and sundry who have chosen this place as a haven of refuge, and at the same time is affording protection to all without distinction of race or nationality. \n\nMy Chinese colleagues and I express the strong hope that the Government will do everything in their power to suppress the evil of heroin traffic, about which the Senior Unofficial Member has spoken at length. The problem is admittedly a difficult one. In spite of increased vigilance on the part of the authorities, and in spite of the long terms of imprisonment imposed by our Courts, the traffic remains unabated. I agree with the Senior Unofficial Member that the time has come when flogging should be tried. We know how reluctant successive Secretaries of State for the Colonies have been in sanctioning this form of penalty, but where other measures have been tried and have failed, and when the health of the community and of future generations is at stake, we have no hesitation in advocating the adoption of this extraordinary measure to meet the extraordinary situation. We would therefore urge the Government once more to represent this strong recommendation of the Unofficials to the Secretary of State. \n\nThe proposed appointment of a Lady Assistant and three additional female inspectors to be attached to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs for mui-tsai work is, I think, a step in the right direction, and, in my humble opinion, it should not be difficult to find suitable Chinese candidates for these appointments. \n\nMy Chinese colleagues and I have noted with pleasure the decision of the Government to increase the grant to the General Chinese Charities \n\n180",

        "content_text": "# HOUSE OF COMMONS\n## Oral Answers\n\nMr. McEntee: Will the Prime Minister use his influence to see that self-determination is granted to Ireland, in view of the fact that he was so anxious to get it for Sudetenland in Germany?\n\nThe Prime Minister: It is a question for Northern Ireland and Eire.\n\n## NATIONAL FINANCE.\n\n53. Mr. H. G. Williams asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the excess of expenditure over revenue since 1st April up to the latest date for which the figures are available; and how this excess compares with the corresponding period of the last financial year?\n\nSir J. Simon: The amount up to 29th October, 1938, is £181,988,000 as compared with a figure of £115,304,000 as at 30th October, 1937. These figures, however, do not give any trustworthy indication of the probable outturn of the whole year. As the Budget estimates were some £80,000,000 higher than last year, the excess of expenditure over revenue in the earlier part of the year would naturally be higher also. But, apart from this, some £53,000,000 out of the increase of £67,000,000 relates to Defence expenditure, provision for which will be charged in part to loan.\n\nMr. Williams: Having regard to the fact that things are turning out rather worse than was anticipated, can my right hon. Friend indicate the Government's intentions with regard to avoiding a deficit for the next financial year?\n\n## EXCHANGE EQUALISATION FUND.\n\n54. Mr. Craven-Ellis asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent the Exchange Equalisation Fund lost gold following the recovery in France which has brought about the return to that country of much fugitive capital?\n\nSir J. Simon: I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 5th October, 1938, to the hon. Member for East Birkenhead (Mr. White).\n\nMr. Craven-Ellis: Is my right hon. Friend not of opinion that if this country had been on the Gold Standard it would not have been possible for such a large amount of gold to be transferred?\n\n## Oral Answers\n## MONETARY POLICY.\n\n55. Mr. Craven-Ellis asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will assure the House that before any change is made in the long-term monetary policy outlined in the Ottawa Monetary Report of 1932, and confirmed by the British Empire Currency Declaration issued on 27th July, 1933, an exhaustive inquiry by a commission, upon which agriculture and industry have equal representations with finance, will be held?\n\nSir J. Simon: No alteration such as my hon. Friend has in mind is in contemplation and the question, therefore, does not arise.\n\n56. Mr. Craven-Ellis asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that the decline in the sterling wholesale price-level this year, and the consequent deterioration in the condition of trade and employment in this country, is largely attributable to the influence of the depression in the United States of America, he will consider to what extent it may be advisable to revise the present policy of maintaining the approximate stability of the sterling-dollar exchange rate with a view to minimising the influence of adverse conditions in the United States of America upon the sterling wholesale price-level?\n\nSir J. Simon: I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for East Bradford (Mr. Hepworth) on 22nd June, 1938.\n\nMr. Craven-Ellis: May I ask whether this country has any definite obligation to maintain the pound sterling in relation to the dollar under the Tripartite Currency Agreement?\n\nSir J. Simon: My hon. Friend knows that the effect of the Tripartite Currency Agreement has often been stated, and if he will examine it he will no doubt find the answer.\n\n## UNEMPLOYMENT. UNEMPLOYMENT FUND.\n\n61. Mr. H. G. Williams asked the Minister of Labour what sum now stands to the credit of the Unemployment Fund; and what is the amount of its present funded debt?\n\nThe Minister of Labour (Mr. Ernest Brown): At 29th October, 1938, the total balance of the Unemployment Fund was about £46,982,000, including investments at cost. The amount of the debt now outstanding is about £81,530,000.\n\nMr. Macquisten: May I ask how these investments compare with the market price? Do they show any heavy depreciation?\n\nMr. Brown: I should like to have notice of that question.\n\n## SPECIAL AREAS.\n\n62. Mr. J. Griffiths asked the Minister of Labour whether the Government have decided on the continuation of the Special Areas Act; and whether it is proposed to give consideration to a review of the existing boundaries before any measure is introduced?\n\nMr. E. Brown: The proposals of the Government in this matter will be announced in due course.\n\nMr. Griffiths: Is the right hon. Gentleman inviting representations from areas outside the Special Areas Act, or is he prepared to receive such representations?\n\nMr. Brown: As the hon. Member knows, I have already received one or two representations, and I am constantly receiving deputations on this subject.\n\nMr. Rhys Davies: Will the right hon. Gentleman tell us what he means by the words \"in due course\"? Can he be more explicit?\n\nMr. Brown: Not at the moment.\n\n## LINCOLN.\n\n63. Mr. Liddall asked the Minister of Labour whether he will indicate the course of employment by numbers, industries, and percentages, respectively, for the city of Lincoln for the months of July, August, and September, 1938?\n\nMr. E. Brown: As the reply includes a table of figures, I will, if I may, circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT.\n\nThe table below shows for the area served by the Lincoln Employment Exchange, (a) the numbers of insured persons, aged 16-64 years, recorded as unemployed in the principal industries at 18th July, 15th August and 12th September, 1938, and (b) these numbers expressed as percentages of the estimated numbers insured at July, 1937.\n\n| Industry | 18th July 1938 | 15th August, 1938 | 12th September, 1938 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Number | Per cent. | Number | Per cent. | Number | Per cent. |\n| General Engineering, etc. | 218 | 8.8 | 196 | 7.9 | 221 | 8.9 |\n|  | 416 | 6.1 | 445 | 6.5 | 458 | 6.7 |\n| Sawmilling and Machined Woodwork | 21 | 5.3 | 21 | 5.3 | 34 | 8.5 |\n| Hotel, Boarding House, etc. Service | 72 | 13.3 | 68 | 12.6 | 81 | 14.4 |\n| Miscellaneous Food Industries... | 99 | 22.0 | 119 | 26.4 | 124 | 27.6 |\n| Distributive Trades | 238 | 6.1 | 235 | 6.0 | 264 | 6.8 |\n| All other Industries and Services | 908 | 10.2 | 869 | 9.8 | 866 | 9.7 |\n| Total | 1,972 | 8.4 | 1,953 | 8.3 | 2,045 | 8.7 |\n\nNOTE. The figures given in the above Table are exclusive of insured persons within the agricultural scheme; the numbers of such workers, aged 16-64, recorded as unemployed at the Lincoln Employment Exchange at 18th July, 15th August and 12th September, 1938, were 148, 153 and 113 respectively.\n\n## WINTER ALLOWANCES.\n\n65. Mr. W. Joseph Stewart asked the Minister of Labour whether he can inform the House of the date for commencing the payment of extra winter allowances to the unemployed?\n\nMr. E. Brown: The first payment of additions granted under the Unemployment Assistance (Winter Adjustments) Regulations, 1938, will be made in respect of the pay week which includes 14th November, 1938.",

        "content_text": "193\n\n14\n\n15\n\nTHA\n\n194\n\nThis form of taxation presented itself at an early point in our discussions as an obvious sphere in which considerable additional revenue might be found. A large part of the public expenditure incurred by this Colony is properly municipal expenditure and it would seem appropriate that an increase of this nature should be met by a raised assessment.\n\nA suitable increase in the rate would, no doubt, yield extra revenue of the order we assume to be contemplated, e.g. an addition of 8% would produce about $3,000,000. It would be appropriate to a large section of local public expenditure and would present little difficulty in collection by comparison with other forms of increased taxation. We believe, however, that the final test of its acceptability must lie in the justice of its incidence, a matter to which our attention is clearly directed by our terms of reference.\n\nThe burden of an increase in the rates would be likely to be divided in the first place between tenant and landlord. If there were a shortage of houses most of it might be shifted at once to the tenant; if there were a surplus the landlord might have to suffer it temporarily. In the long run most of it would probably be shifted to the tenant, since capital seeking investment in property would still expect more or less the same net return after deducting rates. The tenants or occupiers consist partly of business enterprises, on whom the effect would be to tax disproportionately those, e.g. factories and dock companies, whose businesses require a large area of land, and partly of private occupiers, predominantly the dwellers in tenement houses. On the private occupier the assessment acts as a very approximate income tax, which, however, bears more heavily in proportion to income on the poor than on the better off, instead of bearing progressively more heavily on the higher incomes, as is expected of a modern taxation system. An increase in the rates would, in fact, be what is called a regressive, rather than a progressive tax.\n\nIn so far as an increase of rates was not passed on to the tenant, it would constitute a tax on a particular class of investor, the landlord, and would be discriminating as between him and others deriving income from capital invested in the Colony.\n\nWe have also been impressed by the view that any increased taxation having the effect of forcing up rentals and/or comparatively overtaxing \"property capital\" may be expected to encourage the slums, the eradication of which is one of the purposes for which, we assume, Government expects to have to find further funds. Any tax must force the taxpayer to adjust his mode of living to a reduced net income, but a tax bearing directly on housing accommodation necessarily forces such adjustment into a socially undesirable channel.\n\nHaving regard to these considerations of inequity and social evils likely to arise from the incidence of an increase in the rates, we recommend that, in spite of ease and economy of collection and the size of the yield to be expected, this means to additional revenue should be regarded rather as a last resource.\n\nCorporation Profits Tax.\n\n(b) A tax on the profits, or dividends, of public companies operating in Hong Kong is a second suggestion which, in common with an increase in the assessment, could be made to produce additional revenue of substantial amount. It is estimated that the profits liable to such a tax might be something like $50,000,000 per annum, yielding annually, at 5%, $2,500,000. It would present, however, some difficulties of assessment and collection and it is open to objection on the score of equity. The effective administration of such a tax would require expert scrutiny of companies' accounts by something like an embryo Income Tax Department. Evasion (i.e. illegal concealment of profits liable to tax) would probably be small, but extensive efforts at \"avoidance\" by devices within the law, e.g. transfer of registry, manipulation of accounts with associated companies outside Hong Kong, might be expected. No doubt such avoidance would be partly met by suitable safeguards in the law, and there would be a substantial body of company profits which would be unable to escape tax; but only constant expert vigilance could prevent the gradual leaking away of much of that liability.\n\nAs regards incidence, such a tax must, at once or eventually, fall upon the shareholders. From the point of view of equity it is open, like a tax on landlords, to the objection that it differentiates unfairly between one group of investors, i.e. shareholders of Hong Kong companies, and others, i.e. those who have invested in property, private businesses or companies registered and operating outside the Colony. As compared with an ordinary income tax, a profits tax would be unfair also as between individual shareholders who would pay, not in proportion to their total incomes but in proportion to their holdings in Hong Kong companies.\n\nThough such a tax is unjust in the sense that it is discriminative, we feel that it has at least the merit of spreading the burden over a wider class, namely, all shareholders, rather than settling it upon the more restricted class of landowners. It could, of course, be limited to non-resident shareholders, but attractive as that may be at first sight, we cannot convince ourselves of its equity, while such limitation would at once reduce the yield and open a new loophole for evasion through registration of shares in the names of resident \"dummies\".\n\nIt should finally be observed that this tax would leave unaffected, in so far as they are not shareholders in public companies, the salaried and professional classes, the landlords and the large body of private businessmen, whose operations, although individually smaller in scale than those of big public companies, give rise to a large aggregate of profits.\n\nIncome Tax.\n\n(c) Finally we considered the institution of an Income Tax. This is a standard tax in most Western countries, in the British Dominions and in India; and the only important territories in the Colonial Empire in which it does not exist in some form are the Gold Coast, Malaya and Hong Kong. We agreed that this direct form of taxation is the most logical, equitable and remunerative, and at the same time the least discriminatory, if it is capable of successful administration. It is unnecessary to argue the theoretical case for such a tax on grounds of equity and we have therefore devoted our consideration of this subject rather to its practicability. The grave doubts which are widely felt as to the possibility of its successful administration in this Colony may be summarised as follows:-\n\n1. The economic and geographic situation of the Colony, which is more of a municipality than a country, presents many obvious loopholes for evasion.\n\n2. The primitive system of book-keeping used by Chinese firms would render fair assessments difficult if not impossible.\n\n3. The migratory nature of the Colony's population, and the extremely mixed taxable community with greatly differing standards of living, make Hong Kong unsuited to the tax generally.\n\n4. Many benefits are still to be derived from preserving the Colony as a haven for \"refugee\" capital. The Colony's prosperity depends to a large extent on the fact that it is the entrepôt of China, a free port, without income tax and without excessive taxation. An unwise fiscal imposition may well upset this precarious prosperity.\n\n5. So radical a departure in fiscal policy would give rise to a demand, now dormant, for popular representation.\n\n6. The full effect of the tax, for one reason or another, would not reach the Chinese community. The European would bear the chief burden and the Chinese escape or evade its incidence. Any differential treatment between races in this small community would be invidious and give rise to intense dissatisfaction.\n\n7. The administration of an income tax locally would not be possible at an economic cost. A large and expert European staff would have to be imported.",

        "content_text": "# CENTENARY \n## HONGKONG \n### South China Morning Post - Hongkong Telegraph. \n#### SUPPLEMENT \nJanuary 25, 1941.\n\n## HOW HONGKONG BECAME A CROWN COLONY\n\nThe old records set January 26 as the date on which Britain's representative, Captain Charles Elliot, R.N., took formal possession of the island in 1841. This is therefore the actual Centenary day; but a landing on the island by a British naval force, and a preliminary declaration of Queen Victoria's suzerainty, is reported to have taken place on January 25.\n\nThere can be little doubt that voyagers from the West have must sighted Hongkong island, and put in to one or other of its bays, many years before the British occupation we have years ago.\n\nNear Shekpaiwan, well established at least 200 years ago, was the village we know to-day as Little Hongkong. It was then named Heungkong, apparently a translation of \"Fragrant Streams,\" to give the most poetical version of the name. On most old charts, this village must have been marked as the principal town of the island; and no doubt, in time, the whole island came to be so named, thus giving us the present name of the Colony itself. The village of Little Hongkong, decimated by malaria, has within the past quarter century fallen partly into ruins, and its existence will in time probably be no more than a matter of local history - a striking commentary on the march of time.\n\nHONGKONG attains its hundredth year under British suzerainty in difficult times: conditions in a war-torn world prevent fitting celebration of a great historic event in the Colony's history. Nevertheless, Hongkong stands to-day a monument of British foresight, enterprise, and stamina; it is still a haven of refuge, a symbol of democratic freedom, and a beacon for many who falter in these troubled and uncertain times. Its history may well be unique, and its heritage one to cherish.\n\nIN these pages, of necessity in brief form, is given the main factual history of this Empire outpost against a background of grit and the true pioneering spirit; is told the plain story of how a barren, fever-stricken rock became the Hongkong of to-day - one of the largest seaports in the world, with a huge entrepot trade, important industries, and a population of near two millions when the whole territory of the Colony is included. It stands a bastion of civilisation, as democratic peoples translate that term; perhaps, also a challenge. Whatever the next hundred years may hold for Hongkong, its first century is a glorious one, and the tale of its development, however briefly told, should form an inspiration to any who come after us.\n\nThe reasons for the acquisition of the Colony make a rather long story, but may be summarised briefly. The first settlement at nearby Macao, and the arrival of the Dutch navigators and early missionaries, who went as far as Formosa and to Japan, had broken out between Britain and China, mainly owing to friction where foreign merchants had established themselves in the trading centres known as factories. Hostilities ceased at the beginning of 1841, and the decision to take over Hongkong in place of what is now Boundary Street, was to remain intact. The revolt, in which the city was involved, caused the British authorities to take all Chinese residing on the island under their control, and thus the de facto administration of Hongkong under British rule commenced.\n\nWhen Sir Henry Pottinger became Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony by Royal Warrant in 1843, the Colonial Government was organised, with a Lieutenant Governor, Major-General George C. D'Aguilar, C.B., who was the General Officer Commanding the British land forces in China. The title of Lieutenant Governor was abolished after his tenure; but he also administered the Government on several occasions up to 1847. The first Colonial Secretary was Lieut.-Col. George Alexander Malcolm (1843), who was succeeded by Mr F. W. A. Bruce in 1844, and by Major William Caine (who also was Chief Magistrate in those early years) in 1848. Lieut William Pedder, R.N., was the first Harbour Master (1843); the Colonial Surgeon being Dr Alexander (1843), succeeded by Dr F. Dill in 1844; and the first head of the Police Department was Mr Charles May, who took up his duties in 1844. The Post Office goes back as a department to 1842, when a Mr FitzGibbon was in charge, succeeded in a few months by a Mr Mullahy, who in turn gave place to Mr R. Edwards; Mr F. Spring followed in 1843; and in 1846, Mr Thomas Hyland was appointed, being the most energetic of the early Postmasters, and serving for some years.\n\n## THE BRITISH ADVENT\n\nKowloon Old City, now largely disappearing under development of the area, was until about fifteen years ago surrounded by an ancient wall in perfect state of preservation. Here for a considerable period, the centre of Chinese government of the adjacent area was the yamen. The city was founded seven or eight hundred years ago, and the Chinese attached so much sentimental value to the place that under the convention handing over the New Territories, jurisdiction of the Kowloon City yamen was to remain intact.\n\nThe Mandarin of Kowloon City still retained his yamen at that old town. On January 20, 1841, a Circular was issued from Macao by Captain Elliot, Chief Superintendent of Trade and Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China, announcing the cession of the island and harbour of Hongkong to the British Crown (as part of the terms of the peace with the Chinese). Captain Elliot arrived a few days later, on January 26, and had formal possession of the Colony concluded in 1858, but broke out again, and it was not until 1860 that hostilities ceased. The cession of Kowloon peninsula was taken over in 1861.\n\n## INCLUSION OF KOWLOON\n\nThe Colony of Hongkong continued to comprise merely the island area until 1861, when the small ceded territory of Kowloon peninsula was taken over. After the second war with China - known as the \"Arrow\" War owing to its being the result of an attack at Canton on a lorcha of that name, flying the British flag and owned by Hongkong Chinese - it was felt that for the proper defence of the island, the section of the mainland should also be in British possession.\n\nThe development of Kowloon proceeded apace, and Portuguese residents were prominent in this pioneering work. The New Territories were taken over on lease for 99 years, under a convention signed in Peking, the lease commencing on July 1, 1898. However, owing to trouble caused by Chinese agitators, the area had to be pacified, and it was not until April 1899 that full occupation was effected. Much of the trouble was centred in Taipo, and a detachment of troops, and some naval units, were sent to aid the Police. After some skirmishing, the British flag was hoisted at Taipo on April 16, and the trouble subsided. The greatest opposition was met at Kam Tin village, and the iron gates of that place were removed, but were returned (after being taken to England in the meantime) in 1925.\n\n## EARLY ADMINISTRATION\n\nThough Captain Elliot was the first administrator, the first officer to bear the title of Governor of Hongkong was Sir Henry Pottinger, G.C.B. This was owing to the technical formalities of taking over Hongkong as a British Crown Colony; so Sir Henry commenced as Administrator and concluded his term of office as Governor. Mr A. R. Johnston succeeded Captain Elliot on June 22, 1841, as Administrator, Sir Henry Pottinger assuming office on August 12 the same year, and being appointed Governor on June 26, 1843, when the island was officially designated \"the Colony of Hongkong.\" \n\nThese early administrators, in fact, were Superintendents of Trade. Mr A. T. Gordon was the first Surveyor General (a title changed in 1891 to Director of Public Works), and took up his post in 1843, being succeeded by Mr C. St George Cleverly in 1845. That saw the beginnings of the Public Works Department.\n\nThe first Registrar General (an office changed to that of Secretary for Chinese Affairs in 1913) was Mr S. T. Fearon, in 1845, who was succeeded in 1846 by Mr A. L. Inglis.\n\nThe Supreme Court was founded in 1844, the first Chief Justice, appointed that year, being Mr John Walter Hulme. The first Registrar of the Supreme Court (1844) was Mr R. D. Cay.\n\nThe earliest of the Colonial Treasurers (a title recently changed to Accountant General) was Mr E. Elmslie.\n\nOne of the most interesting narratives of the landing on the island has been preserved in a narrative of the voyage of H.M.S. Sulphur in 1836-1842: by Dr Clarke Abel, K.C.B.\n\nNear Kowloon City is the Sung Wong terrace, where a large rock reputed to have formed a shelter for Emperor Dai Ping, who when he was in flight from the Mongolian invaders, rested for a brief period at Kowloon. \n\nThe following interesting account is given: \"On the return of the Commodore (to Macao) on the 24th of January, 1841, we were directed to proceed to Hongkong, and commence its survey. We landed on Monday, the 25th, 1841, at fifteen minutes past eight a.m., and being the bona fide first possessors, Her Majesty's health was drunk with three cheers on Possession Mount. On the 26th, the squadron arrived; the marines were landed, the union flag hoisted on our post, and formal possession taken of the island, by Commodore Sir J. J. G. Bremer, accompanied by the other officers of the squadron, under a feu-de-joie from the other marines, and a royal salute from the ships of war.\"\n\nIt is interesting to note that Possession Point (now Chinese recreation ground) appears on older plans of the city, situated not far from the waterfront, near Queen Street, in a space enclosed by Queen's Road on the north and Gap Street on the south. Possession Street exists to-day, immediately alongside, connecting Queen's Road and Hollywood Road.\n\nThe reference to Macao is explained by the fact that, when the war with China broke out, British and other foreign residents evacuated Canton and took refuge in the friendly Portuguese colony until hostilities were over, and for a time, British interests in China had been directed from Macao.\n\nPage 9",

        "content_text": "## 108\n\nNow that the Report of the War Revenue Committee has been embodied into the present proposal, I do not wish to take up any more time than to express my gratitude to my Unofficial colleagues and to members of the War Revenue Committee for their labour and fruitful results. I heartily approve the principles on which this Bill is based.\n\nAs your Excellency observed, none harboured any selfish motive and all expressed the willingness to share the responsibility. The question is, therefore, only one of equity and of application, so that the tax may fall on the shoulders of those who are in a position to pay, provided its adoption will not deleteriously affect the future prosperity of the Colony.\n\nI need hardly point out that while we should be mindful of the Colony's future, we should not overlook the fact that at this very moment, the integrity and indeed the very existence of the British Commonwealth is at stake.\n\n### Life and Death Struggle\n\nOn November 16 of last year, when your Excellency addressed the Council on the subject of war contribution, your Excellency referred more than once to the fact that Great Britain was being engaged in a life and death struggle.\n\nSince then, the truth of that statement has been repeatedly testified by news reports of the enemy's ruthless tactics and gigantic preparations for the eventual death struggle. I fear that many people in this outpost of the British Empire, because of their remoteness from the scene of conflict, do not appreciate the full significance and seriousness of this war. As we are aware, Germany has repeatedly avowed, according to Press reports, that her one aim is the total destruction of the British Empire, of which this Colony is a component part.\n\nI feel very strongly that, as long as one nation claims to be superior to all others and that that nation then only has the right to live, civilisation is endangered and there can be no peace in the world.\n\nIt is my fervent hope that all sections of this Colony will unite in a firm resolution of purpose and of unswerving loyalty to our Cause - this the successful prosecution of war.\n\nSir, I endorse the sentiments so ably conveyed, on behalf of the Chinese Community, by my Senior Chinese Colleague, the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo, in support of the motion. (Applause).\n\nThe Bill was then read a second time, after which it was agreed to refer it to the Standing Law Committee.\n\n## CONTRIBUTIONS APPROVED\n\n### Vessels for Navy And Army: Gift for H.M. Government\n\n\"That this Council approves the expenditure within the current and next financial years of $5,000,000 on the construction in Hongkong of vessels to be presented to the Admiralty and War Department as part of Colony's contribution to His Majesty's Government towards the prosecution of the war with Germany\", the Financial Secretary said: As already explained in connection with the War Revenue Ordinance the various taxes thereunder are expected to bring in approximately $6,000,000 per annum; $2,000,000 from Property Tax; $1,000,000 from Salaries Tax and Corporation and $3,000,000 from Business Profits Taxes. The estimated revenue over a twenty-four months period is, therefore, $12,000,000.\n\nComing to expenditure proposals, it may be more convenient if they are looked at over the longer period of twenty-four months, as the shipbuilding programme which Government has in mind could not be completed within twelve.\n\nThe three heads under which this special expenditure will fall are first, the cost of the temporary War Revenue Department, secondly, the abnormal recurrent expenditure imposed on the Colony by war conditions and, thirdly, the cost of ship building for war purposes. The following schedule contains the estimated expenditure under the two former heads over a twenty-four months period.\n\n| Head | Annual Rate | Two year Basis |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1. War Revenue Department | $400,000 | $800,000 |\n| 2. Excess War Expenditure |  |  |\n| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Volunteer Forces | 484,800 | 969,600 |\n| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Censorship Department | 347,200 | 694,400 |\n| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Internment of Enemy Aliens | 109,600 | 219,200 |\n| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Department of Information Control | 35,200 | 70,400 |\n| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) Shipping Board | 9,600 | 19,200 |\n| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Food Control | 76,000 | 152,000 |\n| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) Miscellaneous | 24,000 | 48,000 |\n|  | 1,971,200 | 3,942,400 |\n\nGiven a revenue of $12,000,000 there would remain a balance available for the construction of ships to be presented to His Majesty's Government of $8,057,600.\n\n### Ample Margin\n\nAt the moment, however, Government's intentions in that direction do not exceed $5,000,000, thus leaving an ample margin for faulty estimation, short collection or, it may be, further gifts in cash or kind. Those two intentions are to build sweepers and four harbour defence craft for the Royal Navy and two ferry tenders for the Army. It will be appreciated that it is impossible at this stage to give further details as to individual cost: tenders will be called for as soon as possible.\n\nApplication will be made in Finance Committee after this meeting to cover for a supplementary vote for the estimated expenditure which I have just described. The figures in the schedule which will be put before the Committee will not correspond exactly with those which have given, however, as for the most part they will be on a fifteen months basis, which for the sake of greater intelligibility I have avoided in this statement.\n\nHon. Sir Henry Pollock: The Unofficial Members of this Council unanimously support this motion.\n\nLoan, 1934, to the extent of $11,140,000 has been temporarily charged to Surplus Balances pending the second issue of bonds, while further loan works advances on additional have been similarly made against a future loan. Details of this expenditure are given in Appendix `VI(b)` and `(c)` of the printed estimates. But revenue figures continue to be satisfactory and receipts so far this year have generally been in excess of the estimates. Apart from the revenue from the taxes proposed under the War Revenue Ordinance the Colony is in a financial position to make an immediate cash gift to His Majesty's Government.\n\nThis item is included in the application for a Supplementary Vote which is to be made in Finance Committee after this meeting. The figure there given is $1,627,119 which is the equivalent of £100,000 at 1/234 to the dollar, the rate of exchange taken in connection with the estimates for 1940-41.\n\nHon. Sir Henry Pollock: The Unofficial Members of this Council unanimously support this motion.\n\n### Chinese Grateful\n\nHon. Mr. M. K. Lo: The contribution to the British Government which is to be raised under the War Revenue Legislation relates to period from April 1, 1940, and the War has already gone on for over six months.\n\nAlthough the appalling loss of life, which was such a ghastly characteristic of the Great War, has not yet taken place, England, throughout this period, has been experiencing the intolerable strain and anxiety of preparedness and suspense. Her Navy and Merchant Marine, Army and Air Force, have been carrying out their allotted tasks in face of all dangers, with inevitable casualties, and the whole nation has been mobilised to fight the greatest military bully the world has ever seen.\n\nIn contrast to the prevailing conditions in England Hongkong has indeed much to be thankful for. Thanks to the British Navy and the might of the British Empire, Hongkong is enjoying a measure of peace and freedom which is a thing of the past in so many parts of the world to-day.\n\nOne of the racial traits of the Chinese is their abiding sense of gratitude. I feel certain that, gratefully appreciating the Colony as a haven of refuge in which they can live in security and peace, all Chinese in the Colony warmly approve of the cash contribution to the Imperial Exchequer.\n\n### Lord Halifax's Views\n\nIn his speech at Leeds on January 20, Lord Halifax reminded his audience of the work of the Fighting Forces, and of the Mercantile Marine. \"We know,\" he said, \"the Royal Navy and indomitable Mercantile Marine are under the never-ending strain of sea-danger; the soldier on raiding night patrol parties; or the airmen, facing all the forces of nature over sea and land to fight their way over enemy territory on special missions.\"\n\n\"When we appreciate all this, how little it is that is in our power to do at home!\" He said: \"Therefore, let us give, and give freely, and let us all remember that our great cause can only end in victory if all are prepared to spend themselves in its behalf.\"\n\nThe General revenue balance of the Colony on December 31, 1939, was approximately $16,865,000. As Honourable Members are aware, expenditure on loan works authorised under the 32% Dollar Loan has been temporarily charged to Surplus Balances pending the second issue of bonds.\n\nThe resolution was carried.\n\n## MONETARY CONTRIBUTION\n\nThe Financial Secretary next moved: That this Council approves the gift to His Majesty's Government of £100,000 as a monetary contribution of Hongkong towards the prosecution of the war with Germany.\n\nTo be continued. \n## 109",

I feel certain that, gratefully appreciating the Colony as a haven of refuge in which they can live in security and peace, all Chinese in the Colony warmly approve of the cash contribution to the Imperial Exchequer.\n\nIn his speech at Leeds on January 20th, 1940, Lord Halifax reminded his audience of the work of the Fighting Forces, and of the Mercantile Marine. \"We know\" he said, \"the Royal Navy and indomitable Merchant Marine are under the never-ending strain of sea-danger; the soldier on night patrol or raiding parties; or the airmen, facing all the forces of nature over sea and land to fight their way over enemy territory on special missions.\" Lord Halifax then went on: \"When we appreciate all this, how little it is that is in our power to do at home!\" And he concluded: \"Therefore, let us give, and give freely, and let us all remember that our great cause can only end in victory if all are prepared to spend themselves in its behalf.\"\n\nI venture to think that the above words, which should be a timely reminder to all British subjects of their duties, are at once a message and an appeal to the whole of the British Empire, of which this Colony is a part. They should make all residents in Hong Kong feel that the Colony should make this cash contribution, not grudgingly, but freely and enthusiastically, and in a spirit of thankfulness that, in spite of the War, the Colony should be able to make such a gift out of its surplus, and without diminishing such surplus to a point endangering the Colony's financial stability.\n\nSir, it is in this spirit that, on behalf of my Chinese colleagues on this Council, and on behalf of the Chinese Community we have the honour to represent on this Council, I record my concurrence with the terms of the Resolution now before this Council. (Applause).\n\nThe resolution was approved.\n\n**H.E. THE GOVERNOR.**—Honourable Members, The fact that Government has been able to-day to put before this Council the definite proposals which were the subjects of the two resolutions just adopted by the Council discloses that there has been considerable prior discussion of the forms which this Colony's contribution to His Majesty's Government should take in the event of its being made.\n\nThat was necessary, so far as the Secretary of State for the Colonies was concerned, on account of colonial regulations and, in respect to the Fighting Services, in order to put those wishes into effect without loss of time. I wish, however, to make it clear that those discussions have been entirely on a contingent basis and that the Colony has not been pledged or committed to any expenditure in anticipation of the Legislature's approval.",

It is full, I think, of details of the Civil Administration under Japanese rule. Colonel Cole and Mr. MacDougall will, I am sure, like to see it.\n\nI have also had attached to this file a telegram from Campbell about Sir Robert Hotung, the first news which I have seen of him since the fall of Hong Kong. He has been protesting his loyalty to us in Macao, but his family is still in Hong Kong and he has returned there. At the moment I would not be prepared to say anything other than that he is keeping a foot in both camps. There is in the cupboard in Room 64 a secret file on his earlier relations with the Nanking regime.\n\nHe also attacks Sir Robert Kotewall and Sir Shouson Chow for joining the Japanese-controlled Rehabilitation Committee in Hong Kong and making pro-Japanese statements. The personnel of this Committee is given on page 5 of Professor King's report, and it will be seen to include most prominent members of the Chinese community, including several Legislative Councillors. It will also be seen that Professor King says certain members of the Committee, notably Mr. N.K. Lo, only joined it after they had been subjected to considerable pressure.\n\nPage 10  \nPage 11",

        "content_text": "## 202\n\nNewbiggin complained of severe bug bites and others complained of filth. At 3.0 this afternoon Colonial Sec. was taken away under guard. We believe this to be the result of a very strong letter which he wrote.\n\nDuring the evening or whilst we were half way through dinner, the A.G. came in and before he began his meal, he made a speech, which we all, without exception, took to be in the worst possible taste. The speech was to the effect that the Colonial Sec. had been interned and now that he was virtually the head of the Government. He also stated that in future all members of the staff would be fed by the mess (some of us had been feeding out due to shortage of food), which was using food supplied by the Japs. \"There is now no Government in existence and we are being fed by the new Government, Government House no longer exists nor is there any Government house staff\".\n\nFeeling is running very high amongst us and it was a very good thing that he disappeared immediately after dinner.\n\n### 7th Jan. 1942\n\n\"Instructions to Internees\" have been received which, to say the least of it, are simply outrageous. Supplies of food consist of rice, flour, sugar, and salt, and a certain amount of coal for cooking. All other food stuff is left out and orders are that even this must be paid for. Consuls of each nation will be responsible for the welfare of their men, and consuls' wives will be responsible for the women. S.C.A. to be responsible for British women. Special food will be supplied to babies and invalids. All writing materials, books, pencils, pens, and cameras are prohibited and any offender will be dealt with according to Military Law. Every one must swear an oath not to be a member of any party at war and must be loyal to Japan. Treatment of foreign nationals would be based on the treatment meted out to Japanese interned in alien countries.\n\nFurther complaints were received today regarding the conditions existing in the internees' hotels. Reports of dysentery amongst children at Tai Koon are being received and protests are being made by this office. Stories are also filtering in that Eurasians, naturalised British subjects, Chinese married to British subjects are not being interned, although several Chinese women married to soldiers have gone in voluntarily.\n\nDiscrimination will again crop up and when all these women are put into one camp, the colour bar will crop up again and there will once more be confusion and discontent. Also, the Peakites and the Kowloonites are not going to help towards a peacefully run camp.\n\nWomen with children are already finding it difficult, not only on account of cramped conditions, but lack of milk, proper food, and sanitary conditions.\n\nThe police were interned today at Mee Chow hotel. Met George Moss looking very spick and span. Most of them have discarded all their badges and stripes and crowns, but he still had his. Made a remark to him about it. He said, \"I see you still have your crown on your cap; haven't the Japs taken it yet?\" (most of them had their caps knocked off and crowns torn from their sleeves and caps). He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a handful of crowns and said, \"If they do, I have plenty more and shall replace everyone they take off\". They went in this afternoon. The police in general are beginning to look a sad bunch, untidy and ill-kept; most of them have grown beards, but their clothes are dirty and torn. Some of them have nothing but one suit of uniform.\n\nWhilst we were sitting around the fire after dinner tonight at about 9.30, the door opened and in walked the C.S. He looked very tired and weary and said he had had a shattering time. He had been lodged in No. 9 cell at Central police station. As we thought, it was on account of the letter which he had written.\n\n### 8th Jan, 1942\n\nNothing much doing in office. Most of the Europeans have now been interned and few enquiries coming in. No further progress regarding casualties. Reports coming in of foul conditions in hotels. The people are not allowed out for exercise and they are far too overcrowded. All books, pens, etc., have been confiscated. They are also complaining of insufficient food.",

On the 4th of March I was given my 36, a Military one this time, issued by the Army, allowing me to go in any part of Hong Kong, even military areas. It ensured courteous treatment even from sentries, who were notoriously difficult at that time. As I kept away from sentry posts, took other roads, and had no desire nor need to go into military zones, I kept out of trouble, but it was very special, Mr. Oda's getting that pass for me. It was his way of doing things. He does not believe in half measures.\n\nDuring the month of March, martial law became a constant source of delay and annoyance. While it was enforced all traffic stopped and in town everybody on the streets was obliged to squat on their heels with their hands on their knees, sometimes for half an hour, sometimes for several hours. This applied to Europeans as well as natives and was enforced with plenty of face slapping. The reason, as far as anyone knew the reason, was because some notability was passing — this for short delays — or a search was being made, or sometimes because whole districts were being combed, house by house, for arms. We heard that many were caught with guns and ammunition, and got short shrift from the Japanese. Although the thing which seems to worry the Chinese most was their being forced to sit in so undignified a position. They soon learned to keep off the streets when martial law was in force, or to slip away up the side streets. People in buses or trams were usually allowed to remain quietly in their seats.\n\nOne entertaining story I heard was of Sister John of the French Convent, who was returning home from town, where she had been shopping, with many parcels. She was a fine stout old lady, with a genial smile and a cheery voice. When searching parties stopped the tram and ordered everybody out to be searched, as she was on the top floor, and a bit tired after her shopping, she put her head out of the window and called in Chinese, \"Hey, you soldiers down there! I haven't got any guns, an old woman like me, must I come down, or can I stay here?\" And the soldiers were as cheerful as she was, and told her to stay where she was. Even Japanese soldiers have a sense of humour at times.\n\nIn March my husband's condition had been gradually getting worse and I was very worried about him. I had found out that in the Black Market in Hong Kong it was possible to get liver injection and other medicines which my husband needed. Dr. Wu had told me this, although he was very vague about it all and said they were very expensive. I told him that I would try to get money from the Japanese authorities if he would get the medicines. On the 13th of March I saw Mr. Fugita, as Mr. Oda, whom I had not yet met, was at the Peninsular Hotel. The Bureau of Foreign Affairs had been established in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotel. Mr. Fugita telephoned Mr. Oda, having a long conversation with him, returning to tell me that Mr. Oda would give me a personal loan of $200. He also spoke of Mrs. Reeves who had been running herself into a nervous decline by refusing to eat, and crying all the time. I was asked to call the next day to collect the $200, and on my return to St. Stephen's found that Mr. Oda had personally telephoned Mrs. Reeves inquiring into her condition and saying that he was sending his representative out to see her the next day.\n\nAll this was done. I got the $200, which proved inadequate, as the medicines which Dr. Su recommended cost $265, and negotiations were speeded up about repatriating Mrs. Reeves. Her husband had been working from the Macao end to try to get her out, but up to that time he had not been successful. I was able to persuade Dr. Wu to begin to get some of the medicines, and bought some from a Portuguese doctor who was handling them in the Black Market.",

Our Consular people have been removed to Stanley, couldn't put them in a place with barbed wire enclosures so put them in a place with a nice brick wall. Apparently the regular food hand-out for the internees is two bowls of gruel (hsi fan) per day with occasional vegetables and meat. Elsie Fairfax Chomondley is gotten out of H.K. and en route here. Some of the escapees (foreigners) have had rather gruelling times.\" NOTE:- Miss Hahn is American journalist. Carl Neprud is American and was working with Dr. Selwyn-Clarke and others. He was caught in an attempt to escape.\n\n(B) Letter from S.V. LAVROV, c/o American Embassy, Chungking, dated 26.4.42.\n\n\"Mr Lee brought a note from HÜBER. He and his family are O.K, however situation in Stanley is much worse than when we were interneč. Consular Officers were brought to Stanley early in March and placed in a small house. An eight foot wall was erected round the house and they are not allowed to go out. The only exercise they have is to walk a few paces on the roof. They are in unhealthy surroundings and insanitary conditions. Feeding is no better than before. All they get is two cups of rice and one ounce of fish and one and a half ounces of meat a day. Canteen which was operating from the start is closed and now it is impossible to add anything to one's diet. Children under four years are not given any ration except a quarter of a pint of milk per day.\n\nInternees are still very crowded. Recently there were as many as eight persons in a room of 16 x 18 ft. Of course it is not as bad as when we were 13 persons in a room of 5 x 6 ft. I only know of five who escaped from Stanley, among them are three women. Americans are under the leadership of Bill HUNT who seems to enjoy the trust placed in him by his fellow-countrymen. They are now sharing all of their assets instead of 'First come, first served.'\" NOTES:- The writer escaped with Dr. MARSMAN from Hong Kong in Feb.\n\n(C) Letter from L.L.CORDON, Texaco, Chungking, dated 1.5.42.\n\n\"So far as can be ascertained conditions of prisoners in H.K. are not too bad. I have talked to recent escapes. The American civil prisoners have organised themselves into a group. Numerous activities in the interests of the whole are carried on thereby giving everyone occupation. They run a Bank of their own, a Post Office for sending local chits, a Construction Department, Stores and Supplies etc. The Red Cross Unit of which Albert FITCH is a member have liberty of action and live outside the camp at Stanley. They are able to execute orders placed by the prisoners for building bricks etc. By operating even the smallest thing on business lines, they have found occupation for everyone which is much better than sitting round doing nothing. The food situation is not good but prisoners get enough to sustain life, children are now getting extra milk ration.\"\n\n(D) Letter from Jim PICKERING, Chungking, dated 3.5.42. Writer had met Mrs. PRIESTWOOD and reports from having talked to her.\n\n\"She had talked to Dick SANGER and A1 BOURNE on March 17th when she found them in good health and spirits. Apparently the American internees have gotten themselves pretty well organised and are not doing too badly though food is short, and their living conditions are badly cramped. After the many rumours we heard to the contrary we are pleased to hear that our people down there are getting along alright. As I have previously told you, I am afraid that when things start to go badly for the Japs, they will take it out on the people in the Occupied Areas - but so far they haven't had too bad a time.\"",

INDOMITABLE flew off a reconnaissance flight of Hellcats in command of Acting Commander P.D. Gick, DSC, RN. They met no opposition over Hongkong and eventually flew low over Kai Tak aerodrome and dropped message bags which had been prepared, telling the Japanese Commander that he was either to send out an officer in a ship to meet me or else I would send an aircraft to bring off his representatives.

Consequently, an Avenger was flown off with an escort of Hellcats, but on landing at Kai Tak it burst a tyre. The Japanese were docile and obliging and when another Avenger arrived with a spare wheel they eagerly helped to change it.

By this time, however, the weather had closed in over Hongkong and the Avenger failed to find Kai Tak. By this time it was getting dark and the aircraft failed to find its way back to INDOMITABLE and finally had to crash-land in Chinese Communist Territory, the only damage being a bent propeller.

Meanwhile I had decided to enter harbour at 1200 the next day, by which time the minesweepers should have been able to sweep a narrow channel clear of moored mines right up to the boom. The Japanese sent several warnings that the Americans had dropped numerous mines from aircraft in these waters, and Commander Craven informed me that no ships of any size had been in or out of Hongkong through the Laimun Pass for some time, so that there was a definite risk of mines. I considered, however, that it was an acceptable risk.\n\n6.\n\n30th August.\n\nAt daybreak on 30th August, a strike of T.B.R. aircraft escorted by fighters was flown off as well as a small CAP. The strike flew over the whole area in close formation, firstly as a demonstration and secondly, ready to take action in case of enemy action. The strike was kept up all day, INDOMITABLE and VENERABLE taking it in turns to fly off. At 1000 I transferred my Flag to SWIFTSURE and in company with KEMPENFELT, EURYALUS, TUSCAN, PRINCE ROBERT and two Submarines, proceeded up harbour at 8 to 10 knots. As soon as we had got through the Laimun Pass without any opposition and without casualties from mines, MAIDSTONE, the remainder of the Submarines and the Minesweepers were called in. When they had safely negotiated the passage, ANSON was called in and INDOMITABLE was told to enter before dark, having flown on all her aircraft.\n\n7. On arrival, landing parties from SWIFTSURE and EURYALUS were sent ashore under the command of Commander W.L.M. Brown, DSC., RN., of SWIFTSURE and seized the Dockyard, clearing it of Japanese and Chinese with negligible opposition. The officers who were there included the Japanese Naval and Military Commanders who asked to have until the following day to clear out of their offices. They were told that they had only given the British officers half-an-hour to clear out with all their belongings, and they themselves were to go at once, but they would be allowed to send back for their belongings.\n\n8. Before entering harbour it was known that there were a large number of suicide boats in the Hongkong area, although the reconnaissance over the harbour had failed to detect any. Shortly before entering harbour a report was received from one of the aircraft that there was anything up to a hundred of these boats in Picnic Bay in Lamma Island. A little later aircraft reported three were heading for the western entrance to Man-o'-War anchorage. The aircraft were ordered to attack and they reported a score of one sunk, one beached and the other returned to harbour. The boats in the harbour were then well bombed and good results observed. Air patrols were maintained over the area until on 2nd September about 260 prisoners were rounded up and brought back to Victoria after all the boats had been destroyed.\n\n9. After we had secured, Mr. Gimson, who had been the Colonial Secretary at the fall of the Colony, and who had taken an Oath of Office and set up as Officer Administering the Government, came on board SWIFTSURE. We had a short conversation about the conditions in the Colony and it was apparent that he had lost no time in setting up the nucleus of a civil administration from the internees. I showed him my orders which I had received telling me to proclaim a Military administration, and how this should be done was briefly discussed.\n\n10.\n\nAfter that... ...\n\nPage 2\n\n(End of Page)\n\n \nNo additional text is added here as per the instructions.

HONG KONG 5/67/3.\n\nTo:\n\nTHE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. (Copy to:\n\nThe Commander-in-Chief, British Pacific Fleet).\n\nBe pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following diary of events in my command for the period 29th August to 16th September, 1945: --\n\n29th August,\n\nAt daybreak on 29th August, Task Group 111.2 (INDOMITABLE (Flag), VENERABLE, SWIFTSURE, EURYALUS, MAIDSTONE, PRINCE ROBERT, KEMPENFELT, WHIRLWIND, URSA, QUADRANT, 8th Submarine Flotilla and six Australian Minesweepers) arrived off Hong Kong, INDOMITABLE flew off a reconnaissance flight of Hellcats in command of Acting Commander P.D. Gick, D.S.C., R.N. They met no opposition over Hong Kong and eventually flew low over Kai Tak aerodrome and dropped message bags which had been prepared, telling the Japanese Commander that he was either to send out an officer in a ship to meet me or else I would send an aircraft to bring off his representatives.\n\nHe was also given a frequency on which to communicate with me by wireless. Radio connection was established shortly afterwards. The reconnaissance flight also flew over other parts of the colony and the occupants of the Prisoner of War camps showed their enthusiasm over our arrival by wild waving.\n\n2. The Japanese Commander passed me some scanty information concerning mines by W/T and also acknowledged the message dropped in the bags. He said, however, that he could not make arrangements for surrender as the senior officer commanding the area, Lieutenant General Tanaka, was in Canton. I informed him that he was to tell General Tanaka that I intended to enter Hong Kong and occupy the Naval Dockyard on 30th August.\n\n3.\n\nAt daybreak on 29th August, Task Group 111.2 was joined by Task Group 111.4 comprised of ANSON (Flag), TYRIAN and TUSCAN under the command of Rear Admiral Daniel, who was instructed to place himself under my command.\n\n4.\n\nA CAP of twelve fighters was kept up all day in case the Japanese attempted suicide attacks on the force. At about 16.00 a message was received from the Japanese Commander that Commander D.H.S. Craven, R.N., who had been King's Harbour Master before the Japanese occupation, wished to come off to see me and requested an aircraft be sent. Consequently, an Avenger was flown off with an escort of Hellcats, but on landing at Kai Tak it burst a tyre. The Japanese were docile and obliging and when another Avenger arrived with a spare wheel they eagerly helped to change it. When the aircraft returned they brought with them not only Commander Craven, but also a Japanese representative of the Foreign Relations ...",

Eccles, C.B.E., R.N., my Flag Captain, who gave him my detailed instructions to the Japanese Commander of what was required of him. He was then flown off again in an Avenger. However, the weather had closed in over Hong Kong and the Avenger failed to find Kai Tak. By this time it was getting dark and the aircraft failed to find its way back to INDOKITABLE and finally had to crash-land in Chinese Communist Territory, the only damage being a bent propeller. On seeing the aircraft land, representatives of the Chinese Communists came to make inquiries, especially about the Japanese envoy. To protect him, they were told that he was a prisoner, but the Communists could not understand why we kept him prisoner and did not cut his throat.\n\nThe following morning, VENERABLE sent a Walrus and returned the envoy to Kai Tak and then returned the Avenger crew to VENERABLE.\n\n5. Meanwhile, I had decided to enter harbour at 12.00 the next day, by which time the minesweepers should have been able to sweep a narrow channel clear of moored mines right up to the boom. The Japanese sent several warnings that the Americans had dropped numerous mines from aircraft in these waters, and Commander Craven informed me that no ships of any size had been in or out of Hong Kong through the Laimun Pass for some time, so that there was a definite risk of mines. I considered, however, that it was an acceptable risk.\n\n30th August.\n\n6. At daybreak on 30th August, a strike of T.B.R. aircraft escorted by fighters was flown off, as well as a small CAP. The strike flew over the whole area in close formation, firstly as a demonstration and secondly, ready to take action in case of enemy action. This strike was kept up all day, INDOKITABLE and VENERABLE taking it in turns to fly off. At 10.00, I transferred my Flag to SWIFTSURE and, in company with KEMPENFELT, HURTLUS, TUSCAN, PRINCE ROBERT, and two Submarines, proceeded up harbour at 8 to 10 knots. As soon as we had got through the Laimun Pass without any opposition and without casualties from mines, MAIDSTONE, the remainder of the Submarines, and the Minesweepers were called in. When they had safely negotiated the passage, ANSON was called in, and INDOKITABLE was told to enter before dark, having flown off all her aircraft.\n\n70\n\nOn arrival, landing parties from SWIFTSURE and EURYALUS were sent ashore under the command of Commander W.L.M. Brown, D.S.C., R.N., of SWIFTSURE, and seized the Dockyard, clearing it of Japanese and Chinese with negligible opposition. The officers who were there included the Japanese Naval and Military Commanders, who asked to have until the following day to clear out of their offices. They were told that they had only given the British officers half an hour to clear out with all their belongings, and they themselves were to go at once, but they would be allowed to send back for their belongings.\n\nShortly\n\n8. Before entering harbour, it was known that there were a large number of suicide boats in the Hong Kong area, although the reconnaissance over the harbour had failed to detect any. Before entering harbour, a report was received from one of the aircraft that there were anything up to a hundred of these boats in Picnic Bay in Lamma Island. A little later, aircraft reported three were heading for the western entrance to Man-o'-War anchorage.",

I should have written it long ago, but there are only 24 hours in the day. Danby, Cowperthwaite and Jean Bond arrived last night, and I am putting them all into this central office to relieve the strain. It is clear from what they say that the London end is nearly as hard-pressed as here.\n\n2.\n\nA cable came asking for W M. Thomson to go back on a short visit. I'll send him as soon as I can spare him, probably in a week or two. I have been doing Governor-in-Council, F.S., and C.S.; he deals executively with the supply and reconstruction departments. For both of us, it is hit or miss each time.\n\n3.\n\nThe great problem is to get the facts straight. Card-indexing (or its equivalent) being the basis of efficient administration. But we haven't the staff and won't have, even with a full establishment. Much may have to be forgiven us.\n\n4.\n\nI do, however, feel a certain satisfaction in having got the thing through this far without serious mishap: the twists and turns have been unconventional, but I've had very good support. If supplies of everything come in in time, we'll be across the tightrope: but time passes and from now on, runs against us.\n\n5.\n\nWhen the fleet sailed in, tens of thousands of Chinese lined the waterfront. A man who was there told me that they didn't remark whether the ships were British, American, Russian or Chinese: all they said was \"Now we will eat.\" By shifts and evasions, we have carried on for nine weeks to conceal the essential weakness of the position, which is that the larder is bare, that the godowns are empty, and that the liberators brought nothing that fills stomachs or furnishes houses.\n\n6.\n\n \nWe have dusted out the marriage chamber, cleaned the windows, put in some (almost) fresh linen and turned back the covers. But there is no sign of the bride, and the groom grows restive.\n\n7.\n\nI have been up to Canton and had a royal welcome from Chan Chak: he is in a stew, though, over Chang Fa Kwei who doesn't like us very much. We can take it, I think, that nothing which Hong Kong does in the next few months will be right in the eyes of this disappointed and ambitious war-lord.\n\n8.\n\nLocally, the most serious (and from the point of view of our pre-war system, the most damning) factor is that there seem to be no new Chinese of the younger generation anxious to shoulder the responsibility of public affairs. I have been unable to find candidates anxious to dispute local leadership with the established order. Perhaps it is early days yet.\n\nT. N. Chau are doing very well. So far as I can see, M. K. Lo and ... is a mess.\n\nThe Kotewall business ... no one has a scrap of ...",

        "content_text": "45\n\nIn the internal structure of the colony, the dichotomy has produced a special terminology and unfortunate human results. The bulk of the people are known (in English) as the \"Chinese community\" and technically equated with, but in fact subordinated to, the \"European community\" representing one resident in two hundred. The Indian and Eurasian communities, roughly equal in numbers to the European, come in between. The Eurasian is Hongkong's most tragic product. His initial physical and mental endowments combine the best of both races. But he is condemned to grow up culturally sterile and socially displaced, into a predetermined \"buffer\" role as non-commissioned officer (very carefully prevented from reaching commissioned rank) in the established hierarchy. He does not \"belong\" anywhere, generally speaks both languages, but is literate only in English. It takes a really exceptional individual to transcend this terrible combination of circumstances.\n\nThe appointed Chinese and Eurasian \"representatives\" in the governor's councils have always been picked for pliability. The incumbents at the time of the Japanese occupation promptly switched their pupetry to Japan, having been trained to be foremen for whoever was master.(5) The returning British have apparently accepted this cultivated irresponsibility as exempting such puppets from blame and of continuing value to themselves.\n\nThe external effect on China of Hongkong's existence has not been all one-sided, but has faithfully reflected the dual nature of the impact of the west, cultural as well as imperialist.\n\nSince the days of the Manchus, temporary sojourners from the mainland have found there both safety and certain stimulation. The leaders of the T'aip'ing rebellion made use of the colony. Sun Yat-sen studied medicine in its university and acquainted himself with western progressive thought there. As recently as 1940, critics of the Kuomintang, such as the Chinese Democratic League, were able to establish a Hongkong base for their publications and press. The other side of the ledger shows that Hongkong was the jumping-off place for the suppression of the worker and peasant movement in Kwangtung after 1927. In the colony the temporarily defeated feudal and compradore elements found money, arms and foreign support for a comeback.\n\nThe economic \"haven\" aspect of Hongkong has been, perhaps, more important than the political. In times of unrest, Chinese merchants have warehoused their goods there and the rich Chinese have put their capital in the colony's banks or invested in its industry or real estate, especially the latter. This procedure has been traditional with South China warlords living on the people and uncertain of their tenure. The former Kwangtung militarist, Chen Chi-tang, for instance, has huge Hongkong holdings. Political and economic figures in the Kuomintang government have also bought residences, apartment houses and factories there. For a short time during the war, the National Government of China itself made Hongkong the headquarters of its purchasing commissions and manufactured a number of its needs there, including banknotes.\n\n/ Analysis.\n\n(5) This situation has been ably described in Robert S. Ward's Asia for the Asiatics? Chicago; University of Chicago Press, 1945.",

C. Chau, Manager of the Emporium Ballroom, when he was interviewed by a *Post and Telegraph* reporter.\n\nMr Chau said that by a coincidence in all cases the acid was thrown on the lower part of the girls' dresses and made from behind their backs. The various cases occurred mostly between the hours of 7.30 and 8.30 p.m. when the girls were going to their work, and only one case happened at 11 a.m. in daytime. He said one girl suffered burns to her back and another suffered similar burns on her leg. The first incident, added Mr Chau, occurred about three weeks ago and the last case was reported to the Police last Sunday. All these cases were reported to the Police, who are still making enquiries.\n\nMr Chau said that so far as he knew no arrests had been made and no-one was in a position to state why such attacks were made.\n\nMoscow says the British provoked the Cairo rioting.

H. Latimer at the Kowloon Summary Court yesterday when they appeared on a charge of larceny of a pig, the property of Ng Kam, at Main Road near Yeung Uk village, Un Long, on Sunday.\n\nDetective Sub-Inspector Rothwell, who prosecuted, said that at 8 a.m. on Monday, the complainant's daughter saw the pig running loose on the road. It had been injured by a passing lorry. She went in and informed her mother, who came out, but the pig was gone. Following information she had received, the complainant went to the accused's village, where she found them slaughtering the pig. She recognised the pig as hers and asked them to return it. Upon their refusing, she went and reported the matter to the Police. When the Police arrived, the accused were cutting up the remnants of the pig. The pig weighed 60 catties and was valued at $400.\n\n## Radio\n### Hanghing Studio\n\nZBW Hong Kong broadcasting on a frequency of 640 Kilocycles and from 12.30 to 1.30 p.m., 6.30 to 7.30 p.m., and 9.00 to 11.00 p.m. also on 9.52 Megacycles.\n\nH.K.T.\n| Time | Programme |\n| --- | --- |\n| 12.30 | Daily Programme summary |\n| 12.32 | Eddie Carroll and Music |\n| 12.45 | \"Romance and Rhythm\" ENSA |\n| 1.00 | News and Announcements |\n| 1.10 | Casani Club Orchestra |\n| 1.30 | Music from the films |\n| 2.00 | Close Down |\n| 6.30 | Swing and Sway Sammy Kaye |\n| 7.00 | London Relay-News |\n| 7.15 | \"Ivor Pye\" The Singing |\n| 7.30 | Studio: Radio Play \"The Blagden Legend\" |\n| 8.00 | Classical Request Hour |\n| 9.00 | London Relay-News |\n| 9.05 | The Vagabond Sailor ENSA |\n| 9.35 | Music for Dancing |\n| 10.10 | Billy Thorburn and Music |\n| 10.25 | Ivor Novello and some of his successes |\n| 11.00 | Close down |\n\nProgrammes marked ENSA are recorded specially for Services Entertainment by the Dept. of National Services Entertainment.\n\n## A STOLEN COW\n### Disappears From Outside Dealer's House\n#### FOUND IN OTHER VILLAGE\n\nLau Sam was brought before Mr W. D. Latimer at the Kowloon Summary Court yesterday on a charge of larceny of a cow from outside No. 5 Kuk Tin Street, Un Long, the property of Mam Pak Ng-bong. He pleaded not guilty.\n\nThe complainant was called as the first witness and stated that he was a cattle dealer in Un Long. At 3 a.m. on Sunday he was asleep in his house. He had tied up his three cows outside. On waking, he found that his cows were no longer tied outside. He therefore made a search but failed to find them. He then made a report of his loss to the Police at the Ping Shan Police Station. At 7 a.m. he returned to his house and found two of his cows tied outside once more. Also, he received certain information so he went to the Ping Shan Police Station again and reported to Detective Sub-Inspector Rothwell. Then accompanied by the Police he went to Lo Fau Shan, where the third cow was recovered outside a house belonging to the accused. This was at about 10 a.m.\n\nThe second witness was P.C.C. 560 who stated that at about 9 a.m. on Sunday, on instructions given by Detective Sub-Inspector Rothwell, he went with the complainant to recover a cow which the complainant had reported lost. They recovered it from outside the accused's house.\n\nThe accused was found guilty and sentenced to six months hard labour. The cow was to be returned to the complainant.\n\nDetective Sub-Inspector Rothwell prosecuted.\n\n## ESCAPE FROM HOSPITAL\n\nChan Hung, an alleged house-breaker, was captured 15 minutes later at about 11.15 p.m. on Monday night in Waterloo Road near Peace Avenue.

From there Dr King reached Kukong.\n\nDr Woo, introducing the speaker, said that Lieut-Col King was formerly Professor of Gynaecology at Hong Kong University and at present was Assistant Director of Medical Services.\n\nA large attendance of members and their friends were present to hear the talk, and visiting Rotarians welcomed by the President, Dr Arthur Woo, were Messrs W. K. Way (Chungking), Y. K. Chow (Mukden), Peter Y. Kwok (Singapore), and H. Kaddorie (Shanghai).\n\nRotarian Kwok brought a message of greeting from the Singapore Club which, he said, had re-commenced functioning shortly after the establishment of the British Military Administration. There was at present a membership of about 70. Though no luncheon or dinner meetings were held owing to the difficult food situation, the Club held weekly tea meetings.\n\nRotarian Kadoorie also conveyed the greetings of the Shanghai Club which was holding meetings fortnightly, he said.\n\nThe Secretary, Rotarian T. E. Jackson, announced that the meeting next Tuesday would be a closed one, and one of the main topics of discussion would be their community-service.\n\nGuests welcomed were Messrs K. Crawford, J. Wilson, Kwok Chan, D. Djoung, W. Stoker, D. I. Bosanquet, Comdr Kirby, Lieut-Col T. W. Ware, Lieut-Col Y. S. Wan, Col Luke T. C. McDouall, Wai Lee, Messrs J. Man-wai and Major R. E. Farrell.\n\n### Dr Gordon King's Story\n\nLieut-Col Gordon King said:\n\n\"I had early been relieved of my duties as Medical Officer in charge of the Relief Hospital, but I was still able to do a certain amount of work in one of the other hospitals where I had some very loyal friends. Soon after the internment of a third of my colleagues, my position in this hospital was made quite untenable by an appointee of the Japanese, who made it quite clear to me that my visits would not long be tolerated.\n\n\"After considering all the possible means of exit I came to the conclusion that the greatest chance of success lay in finding a guide who would take me out by the East River route. I should have been entirely at a loss without the help of two Chinese friends and former students to whom I shall never be able adequately to express my gratitude. Through their aid, an agreement was made with a reliable man and all preparations were made. At first, I was to be disguised as a coolie, but later (somewhat to my relief) it was decided that it would be better for me to dress in shabby European clothes. A supply of food sufficient to last a week, together with a razor, a towel, and a sleeping bag were to be carried by the guide, and a suitcase full of clothes and other necessaries was to follow later if a way could be found. I was, of course, committed to complete secrecy about the whole affair.\n\n\"Just before dawn on February 10, 1942, I left my house, dressed in a shabby old raincoat, wearing an old felt hat and carrying a Chinese umbrella in my hand, met my escort at an appointed place and took an early tram to the Star Ferry. It was scarcely light, but already numerous people were crossing over. The two of us were both fully occupied and then quietly slipped on to the boat.\n\n\"On the Kowloon side, I mingled with the crowd, and, by dropping my head and shoulders and pulling my hat well down over my eyes, managed to leave the ferry without attracting the attention of the Japanese guards who were busily engaged in searching the passengers.\n\n\"My decision to escape from Hong Kong was made at an early date after the capitulation. Several factors influenced me in reaching this decision, and I think I can best set them before you in their chronological order.\n\n\"First of all, I had tried to carry on medical work for nearly a year under the Japanese regime in North China. In Hong Kong, after the surrender, I found that, as far as medical work was concerned, my position was very much worse than it had been in the North.\n\n\"The final spark which fired my determination was provided by an unfortunate encounter with the Japanese Gendarmerie over the cutting down of some trees. In the University Relief Hospital, for which I was responsible during the war, we had run completely out of fuel and we had no means of cooking for some 500 patients and staff unless some trees in the compound were felled for this purpose.\n\n\"Towards the end of January, however, the Japanese decided to transfer the University community to Stanley whither the majority of the internees had already been sent. I was then with Cheeloo University and was the Medical Superintendent of the University Hospital in Tsinan when most of my colleagues were transferred to Stanley. Before his departure, the Vice-Chancellor made it clear to me that the conditions under which we had been interned in the University had ceased to exist, and that as a servant of the University, I was entirely a free agent in making my future plans.\n\n\"During the months that ensued, I quickly realised how impossible it was, even as a servant of the University, to carry on medical work under the Japanese, and I decided that I should be doing much more useful work either in Hong Kong or in Free China. Towards the end of 1938, I was appointed to a post in the University of Hong Kong, and it was with very great relief that I left Shantung.\n\n\"After several requests, permission was finally obtained from the senior officer of the Japanese military unit which was billeted in the University, and three large trees were felled at dawn the next day. The trees were being cut up in the courtyard of one of the emergency hospital buildings when I was hurriedly summoned to the scene, and there I found the chief of the newly formed Gendarmerie with a small party of his men and an interpreter. The officer was livid with rage; he gave me no opportunity to explain and asked me who had given authority for the trees to be felled, and when I told him that a military officer in the compound had done so, he asked me to produce a written permit. When I told him that the permission was only verbal, he flew into a paroxysm of rage and Rotarian... (Continued on Page 4)",

This article points out some of the difficulties which result from uncontrolled entry and exit into the Colony by Chinese at a time when China is in a state of near chaos. It also reflects the irritation of many of the European British community with the Nanking Government's failure to give foreign interests in China a fair deal, and with the lack of appreciation shown at Hong Kong's many efforts to co-operate with and help China.

        "content_text": "Cutting from Sunday Herald dated 22. 2. 48.\n\nH.K. IMMIGRATION\n\nBy H. G. W. Woodhead, CBE\n\nPessimism\n\nHong Kong Feb. 20. The civil war between the Nationalist forces and the Reds in North China and Manchuria have reached a critical stage. Unless the Nanking forces make a spectacular come back, Manchuria will soon be entirely in the hands of the Communists. Red Armies occupy considerable areas in North China, and operate freely over much larger areas, sabotaging industries and communications, and making it perilous for foreigners, and non-Communist Chinese to remain in the isolated centre in the interior.\n\nA local Chinese journal reported a few days ago that defeatism is prevailing among the officialdom, in Canton, of what it describes as the \"Chiang Kai-shek Dynasty,\" and even asserts that these officials expect Canton to become \"the next Mukden\" and that house-rents are falling in the suburbs because of fears that Canton may become a future battle ground. There appears to be no justification for this fear so far as the foreseeable future is concerned, but that it should be voiced is evidence of a jittery psychology, which, if not effectively counteracted may in the unlikely event of a Communist advance result in considerable exodus from the City.\n\nRed forces have been active in the Middle Yangtze Valley, and only a few days ago, a considerable force of so-called \"Liberationists\" (i.e. Communists) effected a seaborne invasion of the coast a few miles South of Shanghai.\n\nThe British authorities are unlikely to take an unnecessarily alarmist view, so that when Britons in various centres in North China are advised to consider withdrawal while communications permit it, it must be assumed that serious apprehension is felt for the safety of its nationals in the Canton area.\n\nThe Myth\n\nThere is a myth, which has persisted for many years, that unrestricted Chinese immigration into the Colony is based upon some Anglo-Chinese Treaty, Convention, or Agreement. But this is only a myth. No such engagement has ever been entered into by the British Government. In fact, an Ordinance \"to regulate the entry and departure of persons into and out of the Colony, to prohibit the entry of undesirable immigrants, and to confer various powers in connection therewith\" known as \"The Immigration Control Ordinance\" was approved by the Governor on November 29, 1940, and has never been revoked.\n\nThe proposed regulation of immigration under this Ordinance did not exclude Chinese. It applied to persons arriving by sea or by land, who might be required to produce visaed passports, Entry Permits, Frontier Passes and Certificates of Residence, whenever so required by the local Government.\n\nA table of fees attached to the Ordinance provided for $2.00 for a six-months' Entry Permit, and $6.00 for a two years' Entry Permit, and $2.00 a year for a Frontier pass, and Passport visa fees equivalent to those levied by the Government of a national desiring entry into the Colony.\n\nIt is scarcely necessary to recall that hundreds of thousands of Chinese fled to the Colony between 1938 and 1941, following the Japanese invasion of South China. When Hong Kong surrendered it was estimated that the local population had risen from a normal of under 900,000 to over 1,600,000. Drastic and often barbarous action by the Japanese during the occupation reduced the population to less than 750,000.\n\nHong Kong is regarded as a haven of security by well-to-do Chinese in all parts of the country, and, by the less-well-to-do Chinese in neighbouring areas. Immigrants have poured in at a rate of, often, tens of thousands a month, and today the population must be very close to, if it does not exceed, the estimated 1,600,000 in 1941.\n\nIt has been emphasized that since extraterritoriality has been abolished Britons must depend upon the Chinese Government for protection, and that the British Government, in the event of an emergency, would be unable to furnish aircraft or other facilities for evacuation.\n\nA warning was issued from Tientsin, coupled with advice to the recipients to avoid the risk of a \"double evacuation\" by refraining from proceeding to Peking \"or any other North China city where evacuation may be found necessary in the near future.\"\n\nThe areas in which these warning notices have been circulated include the whole of North and Central China East of Sian in Shensi, and Hankow, in Hupeh.\n\nPage 80\n\nPage 81",

        "content_text": "HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nMINUTES.\n\n231\n\nThe Minutes of the meeting of the Council held on 3rd August, 1949, were confirmed.\n\nPAPERS.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY, by command of His Excellency the Governor, laid upon the table the following papers :-\n\nAnnual Report of the Director of Supplies, Trade and Industry for the year 1948-49.\n\nAnnual Report of the Government Statistician for the year 1948-49.\n\nQUESTIONS.\n\nHON. CHAU TSUN-NIN asked the following questions:-\n\n1. Whether any reserve of essential foodstuff is being made immediately available to meet any possible contingency?\n\n2. What steps have been taken or will be taken to ensure that a sufficient supply of essential foodstuff will be available in case of emergencies?\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY replied as follows:-\n\nGovernment is well aware of the need at the present time to ensure the maintenance of adequate supplies of essential foodstuffs. The necessary arrangements to this end are being made as a matter of urgency and a senior officer has recently been appointed to take charge of these arrangements. The Honourable Member will appreciate that in the present circumstances, it is not advisable to publish detailed information on this matter.\n\nEXPULSION OF UNDESIRABLES BILL, 1949.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY GENERAL moved the First reading of a Bill intituled \"An Ordinance to control the population of the Colony by providing for the expulsion of undesirables therefrom as occasion may require.\" He said, Sir, it has been the experience of this Colony at many periods of its history that where conditions of war or economic or political stress prevail in China, reaction is strongly felt in this Colony and, Sir, it is felt, and not the least, by the fact that a large influx of persons from China occurs—persons who resort to this Colony as to a haven. This tendency has probably never been more marked than at the present time when the situation has arisen in which the Colony's actual capacity to absorb recruits to its population is not only seriously overtaxed, but, in fact, over-reached.\n\n18",

        "content_text": "40\n\ntheir counsels would inevitably be confused, but the more obvious rallying bases would seem to be Hong Kong or Japan. Japan might well be favoured, especially by Americans for political reasons. But, bearing in mind that their commitments and sympathies are with the Chinese people, Hong Kong offers far greater attractions in proximity and in the fact that there they could continue to teach Chinese students and to be with Chinese. If left to themselves, without superior guidance or appeal, some of them would undoubtedly make for Hong Kong and endeavour to set up independent institutions with whatever funds and apparatus they might still command. Thereby they would offer yet one more point of attack for embarrassing Communist propaganda and prove an added weakness and not a reinforcement for us.\n\nThe most important elements concerned are undoubtedly the British and Americans; the others are unpredictable but would probably follow an Anglo-American lead. The Americans could prove a particularly welcome reinforcement for Hong Kong University, intellectually and financially, if wholeheartedly invited and absorbed. The essential point in this matter is that we should make up our minds quickly and clearly. Do we want their support and are we willing to pay the price for it, i.e. to give them a share in the University of Hong Kong, and on what terms? If we are to take full advantage of the situation we should act decisively and generously. Only H...G. could decide this and in accordance with a confident long term policy. If we should distrust ourselves and have no firm long term policy to hold Hong Kong, and all that implies, or if we have any \"craven fears of being great\" it is obviously useless to do more than play for time, to be opportunist and half-hearted which is unthinkable. Even in the shortest view we could not refuse hospitality and a certain degree of control over the resulting situation! But there exists fortunately between us and the Americans a very special and overriding bond of common self-interest. They are as much interested as we are in maintaining the eventual currency and supremacy of the English Language in China and the Far East when in the fulness of time the inevitable anti-Communist and anti-Soviet reaction will again give free scope to political, commercial and cultural relations. It was only through the operation of a lingua franca that...\n\nPage 40\nPage 41",

        "content_text": "(i) The Colonial Universities Grants Committee can act only on recommendations from the Colonial Office and the C.O. will act only on the recommendations of the Inter-University Council; the Inter-University Council can only act on the Report of a visiting commission to Hong Kong.\n\n(ii) The Far Eastern Department of the Colonial Office is vitally concerned that Hong Kong's claims should get adequate consideration from the University Grants Committee but cannot move until the visiting commission has reported.\n\n(iii) Inevitably in the Inter-University Council and in the Grants Committee there are people who, uncertain or pessimistic about the future of Hong Kong, will be unwilling to risk the loss of British funds in Hong Kong. The political implications of their attitude will have to be dealt with by authority in the Colonial Office. The University must follow the line of the Hong Kong Government; we intend to hold and to develop Hong Kong. If we do not get direct backing from the C.O. the pessimists will win.\n\n(iv)\n\n(v) There is a tendency to regard the \"Lugard\" function of the University as ended by (a) the foundation of the Malaya University and (b) by the Communist win. On this I argue as to (b) We don't know how Communists are going to act. We know something of Li Chi-Sun, of Mo, of Chou En-Li and others and of what their attitude has been; I don't think that we can immediately conclude what their attitude hereafter may be. I'm not hopeful but I haven't given up hope.\n\nThere is another aspect of this. A large proportion of Lingnan and St. John's (Shanghai) students come from overseas. The Overseas Chinese community is larger than ever. The desire of Chinese for education in China or in a Chinese environment will remain until Overseas Chinese are renationalized and when that? It is freely admitted that students who in other conditions would have entered Hong Kong now will go to Malaya but I foresee that from the Dutch Indies, the Philippines and elsewhere very many who hitherto went to Lingnan, Amoy, Shanghai will want to come to Hong Kong. (Relatively few of this class are likely to be Communists) but they will remain Chinese and will be concerned to get an English (or American) education. Hong Kong and Malaya will be asked to admit them.\n\nIn a modified way the \"Lugard\" function may have its importance. The visiting commission might look into this matter.\n\nReserves in the control of the University Grants Committee are low. The consideration of Hong Kong's case is unfortunately delayed and already is prejudiced by that delay.\n\nThe personal interest of members of the Inter-University Council who have first-hand knowledge of Malaya, Makerere etc., has made for the sympathetic consideration of their claims. Nobody has a like knowledge of Hong Kong. The position that the University Grants Committee is concerned only with new institutions cannot be maintained - Malta already has had substantial aid. The Secretary of State, when the 1946 scheme was deferred, expressed the hope that Hong Kong would receive some aid from C.D. & W. funds. The Governor has probably already pointed out the resentment that would be felt in Hong Kong if our claims were rejected. This is not a matter that should be pressed on the visiting committee's attention - they have a sufficient academic problem but the C.O. will have to take account of it. The whole political issue, local and in respect to defeatism in face of the Communists is an issue rather for His Excellency than for the University.\n\ne/",

In the light of what you say, we agree that it would be uneconomical to have an Economic Secretary, or a Deputy Secretary (Economics), in addition to the head of the new Department of Commerce and Industry, who should, as you suggest, be your advisers on economic affairs.\n\nWith regard to the new Department of Commerce and Industry, we were most interested in the proposals for reorganisation contained in Himsworth's memorandum, and should like to have more information in this connection on the following points:-\n\n(a) what progress has been made with the organisation of the new Department on the basis of Himsworth's recommendations;\n\n(b) to what extent the Department of Supplies, Trade and Industry will, in fact, be absorbed into the new Department (it appears that it will not be completely absorbed); and\n\n(c) whether an advisory \"Board of Trade\" is, in fact, to be set up.\n\nOn the question of the head of the new Department, I am afraid that we have not so far succeeded in finding any candidate whom we could confidently recommend. But we haven't given up hope and are still pursuing enquiries without commitment. We appreciate, of course, how important it is, especially in a place like Hong Kong, that the holder of this appointment should be above suspicion in the public mind. For that very reason we are a little uneasy about waiting as you propose at the end of your letter, because if, when Thomson has completed his defence assignment he should nevertheless be found unsuitable for this post, we should have to start from scratch again to find somebody else.\n\n...\n\nSIR ALEXANDER GRANTHAM, K.C.M.G.\n\n(Signed)\n\nA.H.

The original text has been corrected for spelling and spacing errors, and re-formatted into paragraphs. The file reference \"42 106/170/0d\" has been left as is, assuming it's a valid reference. If it needs to be reformatted according to rule 10, it should be changed to \"42/106/170/0d\" if that's the intended format, but based on the rule it seems more like the instruction is to remove spaces within a reference, so it would remain as \"42 106/170/0d\". However, to strictly follow the format rule for file references like \"XCR(85)72\", if \"42 106/170/0d\" is considered a file reference, it might need to be adjusted, but the exact adjustment isn't clear without more context.

        "content_text": "The procedure for Dangerous Goods lighters to be surveyed, approved and issued with an endorsement to their plying licence or permit is fully detailed.\n\n14.\n\nDangerous Goods on Passenger Vessels\n\nUnder Term of Reference (1) we recommend that certain Dangerous Goods permitted by the Ministry of Transport on passenger vessels should be restricted on vessels engaged in the Eastern Trades in the carriage of unberthed passengers.\n\nThe Ministry of Transport lists of each classification of Dangerous Goods have been considered and in similar lists, under the various Categories, a column has been included, headed \"Whether allowed in unberthed Passenger Vessels\". This involves the alternatives \"Not allowed\" and \"Separate\", the definition of the latter being \"Allowed only in unberthed passenger vessels requiring clearance if separated by the machinery spaces from compartments occupied by such passengers, and so stowed as to be inaccessible to deck passengers in addition to the usual precautions in stowage required of all vessels\".\n\nFor River Trade vessels, wherein the greatest danger may be considered to lie and where the greatest loss of life in disasters in the past has occurred, the Committee recommends specifically that fire-crackers and non-approved matches shall not be carried at the same time as passengers.\n\n15.\n\nThe Vehicular Ferry\n\nWe have given the Vehicular Ferry much concern. We received statements of what is allowed on ferry-boats on the Mersey and on the Clyde, and also in New York Harbour, and find general agreement that highly dangerous cargo cannot be permitted on such boats at the same time as passengers. When we consider somewhat less hazardous goods, there is less general agreement and our object has been to find some compromise which will ensure the safety of boat and passengers and yet not unduly restrict the passage of commodities, many in everyday use, across the Harbour by vehicular ferry.\n\nSection 17 of Ordinance No. 1 of 1873 reads as follows: \"No warehouse owner or carrier shall be bound to receive or carry any dangerous goods\". The attitude of the Ferry Company would then appear to be: \"We do not want to carry any dangerous goods; we do not knowingly carry any dangerous goods, but you cannot expect us to search every lorry that comes for transportation across the Harbour; haven't time to do so and we should require a considerable staff to do it properly\". It is, however, a well-known fact that Dangerous Goods of all kinds are regularly transported across the Harbour by the Vehicular Ferry and this is a hazard that should not be allowed to continue.\n\nWhile in general we agree that no common carrier should be bound to accept Dangerous Goods, the Vehicular Ferry is a large public utility, holding a complete monopoly of the conveyance of vehicles across the Harbour. It seems desirable, therefore, that they should be required to accept some Dangerous Goods where the hazard is not great.\n\nOn the other hand, the number of passengers who may be carried on a vehicular ferry vessel may amount to as many as 500 and any accident that might occur on such a crowded boat would undoubtedly lead to a catastrophe of unusual magnitude. There is also a risk of panic from some comparatively minor occurrence. Many of us personally have experienced a feeling of claustrophobia on a crowded ferry, where cars were packed so closely to each other that the occupants of the cars could not have got out of them in an emergency.\n\n18",
