I apprehend there is no Senator on the other side or on this side who does not appreciate the importance of prompt action and the earliest decision that can be had, consistent with a full discussion and consideration of the question, being more important, as I think it is, than all other questions pending.\n\nMy proposition is, that we meet at 11 o'clock and devote one hour to the consideration of morning business, and that we take up the tariff bill promptly at 12 o'clock, and for the present week at least devote the whole time from 12 o'clock until 5 o'clock in the afternoon to general debate of the bill. Now, if such a suggestion is not agreeable to the other side of the Chamber, I shall be glad to hear any suggestions from that side of the Chamber as to what agreement would be acceptable to them.\n\nMr. FRYE. Mr. President, I can state what agreement would be acceptable to me; and that is, that the further consideration of the tariff bill should be postponed until next December.\n\nMr. HARRIS. That I understand.\n\nMr. FRYE. Believing, as I do, that its enactment into law would do more harm to the industries and the people of this country than the war did, I shall, whenever I am present, object to any unanimous consent whatever touching the progress of the bill in the Senate.\n\nMr. QUAY. Mr. President, I do not assume to speak for this side of the Chamber, but in reply to the Senator from Tennessee, I will state that I, for one, shall not voluntarily sit in the Senate Chamber upon days when ordinarily no session is held, nor during extraordinary hours, simply to expedite the passage of legislation which I believe will bring ruin to the State of Pennsylvania.\n\nMr. HARRIS. Mr. President, I see that no agreement is possible after the declarations of the Senators from Maine and Pennsylvania.\n\nMr. ALDRICH. ...\n\nMr. HARRIS. Mr. President, it is the fact...\n\nMr. CHANDLER. Mr. President, I rise to a question of order.\n\nThe PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire will state his question of order.\n\nMr. CHANDLER. I call for the regular order.\n\nMr. HARRIS. It is because of the fact that it is a question of vital interest to every man and woman in the United States that I have urged that we shall determine the question at the earliest possible moment.\n\nThe PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair directs the attention of the Senator from Tennessee to the fact that there is no motion pending. It is simply a request for unanimous consent.\n\nMr. HARRIS. I have asked for unanimous consent, which met with objection.\n\nMr. CHANDLER. I rise to a question of order. I desire to know whether the Senator from Tennessee is in order?\n\nThe PRESIDING OFFICER. The discussion is proceeding by unanimous consent, as the Chair understands.\n\nMr. CHANDLER. I leave it to the Senator from Tennessee himself whether he is in order. We always submit to his decisions on questions of order. If he says he is in order, I shall not object to his going on.\n\nThe PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Tennessee has the floor.\n\nTo accomplish this result, I am ready to subject myself to the inconvenience of coming here at earlier hours and sitting here to later hours.\n\nMr. FARRIS. The Senator from New Hampshire was very patient while the Senator from Rhode Island, Mr. ALDRICH, was discussing the merits of this question, as to which I have not said a word. But I am going to make a motion to which the Senator from New Hampshire can raise no question of order. Of course, he will oppose it. I move that on and after tomorrow, until otherwise ordered, the Senate meet at 11 o'clock a.m. I wish to say that I have no desire to enter upon the discussion of the merits or demerits of the tariff bill at this time. I was only urging the point that it is vitally important to the business of the country to know at the earliest moment that we can inform them what the policy in respect to taxation is to be in the future.\n\nMr. HARRIS. I yield to the Senator from Rhode Island.\n\nMr. ALDRICH. Mr. President, it does not seem to me that there is anything in the present situation of affairs in the Senate that should call for the adoption of unusual methods in the conduct of the public business. The Senators in opposition to the pending tariff bill appreciate as fully as the Senator from Tennessee can the importance of the discussion upon which we are about to enter. They are desirous, and only desirous, that the discussion shall proceed in an orderly manner, in a manner worthy of the traditions of the Senate and the importance of the subject.\n\nThere have been no obstructive or dilatory or filibustering motions made upon this side of the Chamber, and there will be none unless we are forced by attempts to adopt some unusual methods in the conduct of the business of the Senate.\n\nWe have had two speeches upon this question during the week which has passed, and we are now entering upon a third speech. There are some considerations pertinent to this question which make it impossible for the Senators in opposition to the bill to discuss it intelligently at the present time. There has been no explanation from anyone familiar with the measure as to its effects or results so far as revenue is concerned, or so far as the details of the bill are concerned.\n\nWe, upon this side of the Chamber, know nothing as to what form the bill is finally to take. Within the past two or three days, something like thirty or forty amendments have been suggested by the majority members of the Finance Committee. We know from common rumor and from statements of interested parties that changes in rates and in the phraseology of the bill are now being made from day to day for the purpose, apparently, of rewarding the friends of the measure, or gaining the votes necessary to pass it, or for punishing those who are presumptuous enough to oppose its provisions.\n\nI think the gentlemen on the other side of the Chamber, the friends of the measure, are bound at the outset of the discussion to tell us what in their opinion will be its effect upon the revenues, to explain its extraordinary provisions, applicable to every paragraph and to every section of the bill. They are bound to tell us or give us some sort of an idea as to the exact and definite provisions of the bill in the form in which they shall ask the Senate to pass it. Until that is done, there can be no intelligent answer from this side of the Chamber and no intelligent criticism about a bill whose provisions we do not as yet know.\n\nSo it seems to me it comes with ill grace from the Senator from Tennessee or any other Senator to say at this stage of the discussion that we should adopt any unusual hours or any unusual methods. We on this side of the Chamber (and I think that is true of the opponents of the bill, whether upon one side of the Chamber or the other) intend to treat this matter in a spirit which is worthy of this great question, affecting as it does vitally the interests of every man, woman, and child in the United States.\n\nI, of course, do not know whether the bill will pass or not. That is a question to be determined in the future, and the sooner it is determined the better it will be for the business of the country and the whole people of the country. That is my point, and the only point that I propose to make at this time. Whatever its fate is to be, let us reach it at the earliest hour that we can.\n\nMr. LODGE. I desire to inquire of the Chair whether under the rule the motion does not go over under one objection?\n\nThe PRESIDING OFFICER. It does.\n\nMr. LODGE. Then I make the objection.\n\nThe PRESIDING OFFICER. The motion will go over, under the rule.\n\nMr. HARRIS. That is proper.\n\n## ISSUE OF BONDS\n\nThe PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair lays before the Senate a resolution coming over from a previous day, submitted by the Senator from Kansas [Mr. PEFFER].\n\nThe Secretary read the resolution submitted by Mr. PEFFER, March 28, 1894, as follows:\n\n**Be it Resolved**, That the Committee on Finance be, and it is hereby, instructed to prepare and report as soon as practicable a bill to repeal all laws authorizing or permitting the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds or other interest-bearing obligations of the Government, and to prohibit any and all such issues in the future without express authority by act of Congress first had and obtained.\n\nMr. PEFFER. Inasmuch as I expect to yield the floor to the Senator from New York (Mr. HILL) at 2 o'clock for the discussion of the tariff bill, I shall occupy the remainder of the time until 2 o'clock with the discussion of the pending resolution.\n\n...\n\n## Petitions and Memorials\n\nMr. LODGE presented a petition of Upholsterers' Local Union No. 53, of Boston, Mass., praying for the governmental control of the telegraph service; which was referred to the Committee on Post-Offices and Post-Roads.\n\n...\n\nMr. MCMILLAN presented petitions of the Machine Woodworkers' Union; of the Shoe Cutters' Union; of the Marine Engineers' Benefit Association; of the Steamfitters' Union; of the Ironworkers' Protective Union, and of the Bricklayers and Stonemasons' Protective Union, all of Detroit, Mich., praying for a governmental telegraph service; which were referred to the Committee on Post-Offices and Post-Roads.\n\n...\n\n## METLAKAHTLA INDIANS IN ALASKA\n\nMr. MANDERSON. I appreciate that some of the Senate are familiar—but I know that other Senators are not familiar—with the history of a settlement in Alaska known as New Metlakahtla. I think there is nowhere an account of greater self-abnegation, indeed of utter self-sacrifice, than that of William Duncan, an Englishman, who nearly forty years ago went to a barbarous tribe of Indians in British Columbia and started the work of their reformation and civilization; nor is there anywhere an account of greater religious bigotry and of strait-laced oppression than some persons in high places in British America were guilty of towards Duncan and those interesting Indians, which compelled them to take refuge in Alaska.\n\nThe Government of the United States granted to the Indians what is known as Annette Island, and they have formed there a prosperous Christian community. There are no better people in the district of Alaska than the Metlakahtla Indians. While they have been permitted to acquire the land upon the island and to embark in many industries, even extending their sawmills and canning establishments to places outside of Annette Island, by the construction of the law by the courts of Alaska, they have been refused admission to citizenship, for the enjoyment of the rights of which and the performance of the duties of which they are so well fitted.\n\nI have in my hand a communication from Dr. Sheldon Jackson, a gentleman of repute, who has devoted many years to excellent service in Alaska among the natives, setting forth briefly the action of the courts in this regard and giving a brief history of this most interesting people, and important subject-matter. I ask unanimous consent that I may be permitted to have the paper printed as a document and that it be referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs, with instructions to that committee, if in their wisdom it seems best, to bring in a bill for the ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-265 - Public Offices & Others - 1894.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442124, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "page_number": 251, "title": "CO129-399 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [1-2]", "content_text": "## DECISIONS OF STATE COURTS.\n\nBeing in custody under a warrant of extradition is final, and a writ of error is allowed thereon, that the principle of res adjudicata is applicable, yet in none of these cases was the question of extradition involved.\n\nThe courts in a Habeas Corpus proceeding of this kind, where the prisoner is arrested for extradition, cannot go into a trial of the merits of the cause.

In July, 1907, another warrant of extradition was issued against him and he sued out a writ of Habeas Corpus alleging the above facts and that he was not a fugitive, having returned with the knowledge and consent of the State of New York.\n\nJustice Harlan said:- \n\"The question arises on these facts whether the Governor of Rhode Island was authorised by the Constitution and laws of the United States to issue a second warrant for the arrest of Bassing and his delivery to the agent of New York, such warrant being based upon a second indictment for the same offence as that charged in the former indictment.

Examination was had before the Commissioner,\n\nnot been referred to nor are we aware of any judicial decision covering this precise question. If the proceedings in the New York court, after the appearance there of the accused under the first requisition by the Governor of that State, had so far progressed, before the dismissal of the first indictment, as to put him in legal jeopardy of his liberty, it might be but upon that point we forbear any expression of opinion that the Governor of Rhode Island could rightfully have declined to honour a requisition to meet a second indictment for the same offence. But no such case is presented. The accused had not been put in jeopardy when the first indictment was dismissed. It may have been that the dismissal was because the State was without sufficient evidence at the time to hold the defendant: or there may have been other and adequate reasons for the course taken by the State's attorney. His mere arraignment and pleading to the indictment did not put him in judicial jeopardy. 1 Wharton's American Cr. Law (6th ed.), 1868, secs. 544, 590, and authorities cited under each section. Suffice it to say, that when the second warrant of arrest was issued by the Governor of Rhode Island the accused had not been tried, nor put on final trial, in New York, nor placed in jeopardy there for the offence with which he was charged in that State. We do not, therefore, perceive any reason, based on the Constitution and Laws of the United States, why the Governor of Rhode Island could not honour, as he did, the second requisition of the Governor of New York and issue thereon a second warrant of arrest.

Mr. Rode is a Marine Engineer on board the S.S. \"Edendale,\" with Headquarters at Singapore. He resides on board the ship but is at present in this country resident at 100 Bothwell Street, Glasgow. He has not been here for a year, and intends to return in about eight months to Singapore.\n\nHe was born in Norway on the 29th of March 1870. He came to Renfrew, Scotland, in January 1892 to complete his apprenticeship as an Engineer with Messrs Lobnitz & Co. Limited of Renfrew. He was in Renfrew until 1895. He was sailing as an Engineer with the British firm of Messrs MacBeth & Gray for about a year. He was then for another year on board a Yacht belonging to a London owner. He accepted a position as Marine Engineer at Singapore. He has been in Singapore ever since, except during short holiday periods. He is again resident here for a limited time, and, having acquired all the customs and habits of the British Nation, he wishes to be naturalized.\n\nAccording to the directions which we have before us, it would appear that residence in the United Kingdom for one year is required, and for an additional period of four years in some other part of His Majesty's Dominions. Mr. Rode complies with the second requirement, but he cannot declare that he has been resident in the United Kingdom for one year.\n\nWe write this letter to ascertain, before completing and lodging the Forms, if a modification in the period of residence in the United Kingdom will be accepted in the special circumstances, particularly looking to the fact that the applicant is a Marine Engineer.\n\nWe shall be glad to hear from you at your earliest convenience on the subject, and we are,\n\nYours faithfully,\n\n(Signed) Syminton & Blair.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-510-9 George Ludwig Rode- naturalisation 1-3-1928 - 4-6-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 515434, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-510-9 George Ludwig Rode- naturalisation 1-3-1928 - 4-6-1928", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-510-9 George Ludwig Rode- naturalisation 1-3-1928 - 4-6-1928", "content_text": "12\n\nEconomic &\n\nOverseas.\n\nE. & O. 2345/28.\n\n \n\nSir,\n\nINDIA OFFICE,\n\nWHITEHALL.\n\nLONDON.

I feel that there is a strong danger that this considera-tion may be overlooked with the most unfortunate consequences to our domestic situation in a time of great difficulty. The best solution would be to give direct help to China in their struggle against Japanese aggression, but if this cannot be done, for fear of the consequences so far as Japan is concerned, then every possible means of indirect assistance should be utilised. \n\n102. I have not burdened this section with any detailed accounts of the industries set up in Western China, but I attach a map() which gives the character and location of most of the new factories erected by the Government, a list of those that I personally visited and a typical account of the origin and development of one of these factories. If any further information is of use on these topics I have it available in the form of my detailed notes. \n\nAgriculture. \n\n103. The basic industry of China is, of course, agriculture, and by far the greatest proportion of her population is either directly, or indirectly, engaged in this industry. The Chinese are excellent farmers, being most industrious and economical. There is practically no mechanised farming, and the methods as a whole are the traditional ones that have been developed and carried on for many centuries. In the majority of districts, except where new crops have been intro-duced, the methods must be very much the same as they were a thousand years ago. The crops are very varied, depending upon the widely different climatic and soil conditions that prevail in the different parts of the country. Practically every kind of \n\ncrop can be grown in some part of China, with the exception of those that require a tropical climate, such as rubber. A great deal of attention is now being paid to the development and improvement of agricultural crops. \n\n104. I visited the Agricultural Institute at Chengtu, which is run by the Provincial Government, as are most of the similar institutions in other parts of the country. I was greatly struck by the thoroughness and efficiency of the whole organisation, which is entirely staffed by Chinese. A great deal of work is being done on plant-breeding and seed selection, especially for rice. Plant diseases are also being studied and remedies devised, and a good deal has been done on compost manures which are already used in the district. Animal diseases are being studied, particularly those of cattle and pigs, and last year over 4 million cubic centimeters of serums of various kinds were distributed to the farmers. Very little, however, is being done as regards animal breeding or other branches of animal husbandry, with the exception of a section which deals with Chinchilla rabbits. There is not as yet any full exchange of information with foreign experimental stations. All this work in Western China is of very recent origin, but already a number of such stations have been set up in the different provinces, most of them doing general work, but some specialising in such matters as sugar cultivation and forestry. This latter subject needs a great deal more attention than it has yet had, since much forest has been cut and denudation has already resulted in some areas. The main need to-day is probably in the field of animal husbandry, as many of the local breeds are poor and could be much improved. There is practically no dairying industry in Western China, except around Chengtu, where a beginning has been made through the efforts of the West China University Experimental Farm which runs a Fresian herd belonging to Mme. Chiang. A considerable improvement has been made in the local cattle by crossing with this herd, and the crossed stock now fetches large prices in the district. Good work has been done as well in the improvement of chicken breeds, the average egg-laying capacity of the local breeds being doubled on a first cross with Rhode Island Reds. Very little has been done with sheep or goats, while the pigs are of such excellent quality, especially in Szechuan, that they hardly need improving. Although they have not yet done much in this direction, the Chinese are very anxious to improve their breeds, and for this purpose would very much welcome any assistance that can be given in the importation of bulls, billy-goats, rams and cockerels. This would seem to be a matter in which Great Britain could give some very practical assistance, either directly or through India or possibly New Zealand or Australia. A closer connexion between the Chinese, \n\n() Not reproduced. \n\n29 \n\nBurmese and Indian research stations would also be of great advantage to all of them. Many of the questions now being dealt with at the Indian and Burmese stations are similar to those which the Chinese have to deal with. I believe that the Chinese would also be very ready to use the services of some good British agricultural advisers, especially in the matter of animal husbandry. If this could be arranged, and in addition a full exchange of material and personnel could be made between the Chinese and British Empire research stations, Great Britain could come to hold an influential position of assistance in the basic industry of China. \n\n105. The main exports of China are to-day agricultural, and this will no doubt remain the case for a long time to come. Tea and tung oil constitute the most important items of export. Plans are on foot to extend the area of both these crops in the west--tea is to be grown in the Yunnan hills and tung oil is to be developed further north. The area of wheat in Kansu and the northern provinces is being extended by the suppression of opium, and the land so made available is to be used for wheat. Fruit growing is also being extended, but there is no immediate prospect of this becoming an export crop owing to transport difficulties and the fact that as yet there is not sufficient grown for Chinese needs. The position as regards rice in the west is that, at present, no export is allowed owing to the internal shortage, but normally Yunnan has a surplus which is available for North Burma or other export markets. A great deal of work is being done on the selection of rice varieties, and it is hoped that this will result in an increase of yield, in which case an export surplus will be available. So far as internal supplies are concerned it must be remembered that at the moment there are millions of refugees from the east in Western China, and that when peace is made there will be a tendency for many of these to return to their homes. This diminution of population will temporarily mean a surplus of commodities in the west, some of which may be available for export. \n\n106. The incidence of land tenure and the splitting up of the land into very small holdings as well as the physical condition of such a province as Szechuan, which, with the exception of such areas as the large plain of Chengtu, is hilly throughout. militate against any idea of large scale farming in China. Consequently the agricultural methods of the west or America are not really applicable; there is on the other hand great scope for the development of better hand- and bullock-operated implements and some work is being done on this subject by the research institutes. I have suggested and I think that the suggestion will be carried out-that the C.I.C. should take up the manufacture of such improved implements through widely distributed village co-operatives. Apart from this, however, there is great scope for the manufacture of such implements on a large scale in China. \n\n107. The Chinese farmer is, like all farmers, apt to be very conservative in his ideas, but the moment that it can be proved to him that he will do better out of his land by the introduction of new methods or new breeds of animals or plants he is only too ready to adopt these improvements. I was told at the research institutes that they had found the farmers most responsive, and that they were the determined supporters of the work, in many cases pressing the provincial Governments to spend more money upon these institutes. \n\n108. A good deal has been done through agricultural co-operatives. organised by the Government, to assist in the financing of the small farmer and to get him out of the clutches of the moneylender. Owing to corruption in the administration of this service, due to the appointment of unsuitable local officials, a great deal of money has been lost, amounting to nearly 20 per cent. of the investment. The losses due to farmers not repaying the loans are almost negligible, as they are extremely honest in this respect. Efforts are now being made to clean up the local administration, but this is not always easy, especially where the local magistrates are themselves involved in the dishonesty. But the result, so far as the farmer is concerned, in districts where the co-operatives are functioning properly, has been good. Rates of interest have fallen from as much as 30 per cent. per annum to 8 per cent. per annum, which is the charge made by the co-operatives. Even where the fall in the rate of interest has not been so great there has been a definite tendency for moneylenders' rates to fall thus easing the burden on the producer. Some efforts are also being made in certain areas through the agricultural co-operatives to collectivise the purchase of seeds and other requirements, but this aspect of the question has not as yet received very \n\n38", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-582-22 Visit of Sir Stafford Cripps to China 13-12-1939 - 4-7-1940.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 568673, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-582-22 Visit of Sir Stafford Cripps to China 13-12-1939 - 4-7-1940", "page_number": 58, "title": "CO129-582-22 Visit of Sir Stafford Cripps to China 13-12-1939 - 4-7-1940", "content_text": "86\n\n28\n\nto peace-time production. I feel that there is a strong danger that this consideration may be overlooked with the most unfortunate consequences to our domestic situation in a time of great difficulty. The best solution would be to give direct help to China in their struggle against Japanese aggression, but if this cannot be done, for fear of the consequences so far as Japan is concerned, then every possible means of indirect assistance should be utilised.\n\n102. I have not burdened this section with any detailed accounts of the industries set up in Western China, but I attach a map(7) which gives the character and location of most of the new factories erected by the Government, a list of those that I personally visited and a typical account of the origin and development of one of these factories. If any further information is of use on these topics I have it available in the form of my detailed notes.\n\nAgriculture.\n\n103. The basic industry of China is, of course, agriculture, and by far the greatest proportion of her population is either directly, or indirectly, engaged in this industry. The Chinese are excellent farmers, being most industrious and economical. There is practically no mechanised farming, and the methods as a whole are the traditional ones that have been developed and carried on for many centuries. In the majority of districts, except where new crops have been introduced, the methods must be very much the same as they were a thousand years ago. The crops are very varied, depending upon the widely different climatic and soil conditions that prevail in the different parts of the country. Practically every kind of crop can be grown in some part of China, with the exception of those that require a tropical climate, such as rubber. A great deal of attention is now being paid to the development and improvement of agricultural crops.\n\n104. I visited the Agricultural Institute at Chengtu, which is run by the Provincial Government, as are most of the similar institutions in other parts of the country. I was greatly struck by the thoroughness and efficiency of the whole organisation, which is entirely staffed by Chinese. A great deal of work is being done on plant-breeding and seed selection, especially for rice. Plant diseases are also being studied and remedies devised, and a good deal has been done on compost manures which are already used in the district. Animal diseases are being studied, particularly those of cattle and pigs, and last year over 4 million cubic centimeters of serums of various kinds were distributed to the farmers. Very little, however, is being done as regards animal breeding or other branches of animal husbandry, with the exception of a section which deals with Chinchilla rabbits. There is not as yet any full exchange of information with foreign experimental stations. All this work in Western China is of very recent origin, but already a number of such stations have been set up in the different provinces, most of them doing general work, but some specialising in such matters as sugar cultivation and forestry. This latter subject needs a great deal more attention than it has yet had, since much forest has been cut and denudation has already resulted in some areas. The main need to-day is probably in the field of animal husbandry, as many of the local breeds are poor and could be much improved. There is practically no dairying industry in Western China, except around Chengtu, where a beginning has been made through the efforts of the West China University Experimental Farm which runs Fresian herd belonging to Mme. Chiang. A considerable improvement has been made in the local cattle by crossing with this herd, and the crossed stock now fetches large prices in the district. Good work has been done as well in the improvement of chicken breeds, the average egg-laying capacity of the local breeds being doubled on a first cross with Rhode Island Reds. Very little has been done with sheep or goats, while the pigs are of such excellent quality, especially in Szechuan, that they hardly need improving. Although they have not yet done much in this direction, the Chinese are very anxious to improve their breeds, and for this purpose would very much welcome any assistance that can be given in the importation of bulls, billy-goats, rams and cockerels. This would seem to be a matter in which Great Britain could give some very practical assistance, either directly or through India or possibly New Zealand or Australia. A closer connexion between the Chinese, Burmese and Indian research stations would also be of great advantage to all of them. Many of the questions now being dealt with at the Indian and Burmese stations are similar to those which the Chinese have to deal with. I believe that the Chinese would also be very ready to use the services of some good British agricultural advisers, especially in the matter of animal husbandry. If this could be arranged, and in addition a full exchange of material and personnel could be made between the Chinese and British Empire research stations, Great Britain could come to hold an influential position of assistance in the basic industry of China.\n\n(7) Not reproduced.\n\na\n\n29\n\n105. The main exports of China are to-day agricultural, and this will no doubt remain the case for a long time to come. Tea and tung oil constitute the most important items of export. Plans are on foot to extend the area of both these crops in the west-tea is to be grown in the Yunnan hills and tung oil is to be developed further north. The area of wheat in Kansu and the northern provinces is being extended by the suppression of opium, and the land so made available is to be used for wheat.

Burns.\n\nIt will be remembered that immediately before the outbreak of war we had been considering urgent requests from the Governor and the Vice-Chancellor of Hong Kong University for a substantial grant from His Majesty's Government for the purpose of enabling the University to fulfil its proper role in the Far East. At its foundation some thirty years ago under the plan sponsored by Lord Lugard, the University was intended to serve not only or indeed primarily the local needs of Hong Kong, but to be an important Anglo-Chinese cultural link. Unfortunately, this fundamental purpose was largely frustrated at the start by the outbreak of the successful republican revolution in China and the flood of ultra-nationalist feeling which in one form or another has dominated authorities in China ever since. Swept along\n\nIn the present dire need of China for higher education facilities for its doctors, engineers and future generation of statesmen, and with the havoc and disturbance caused to the many previously flourishing Universities in China by the Japanese invasion, the Governor and the Vice-Chancellor have seen a special opportunity in which the original and essential function of the Hong Kong University could be restored, and the Vice-Chancellor himself has secured from Chiang Kai Chek and other Chinese leaders every promise of practical support and cooperation.\n\nWe had secured the Foreign Office approval and support for a request to H.M.G. to consider a substantial financial grant to the University for this purpose, but unfortunately the outbreak of war has dictated the Treasury's inability to accede to our request at this juncture. The Hong Kong Government's own subsidy to the University is on a heavy scale and has been increasing and must be further increased even for the purpose of maintaining the University's existing functions which fall far short of its real purpose of serving Anglo-Chinese interests. The suggestion has been made that it might be possible for a grant under the new Colonial Development Act to be made for the University, but it has, I think rightly, been held that the expenditure of money out of that grant for the purpose of serving the needs of China, even though it is politically desirable, is scarcely within the objects of Colonial Development.\n\nMr. Sloss, the Vice-Chancellor, has impressed on us that an important aspect of the proposed risorgimento of the University is that it should not merely be the result of assistance from the local funds of the Hong Kong Government, but that it is necessary, for the conviction both of Chinese philanthropists (from whom handsome contributions are hoped for) and also the Chinese Government leaders themselves, that what is done shall be manifestly done in association with the British Government and as a matter of British and not merely Colonial policy. One can see the force of that view, and indeed the Hong Kong Government itself could not possibly supply the extra funds necessary", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 569228, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "page_number": 3, "title": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "content_text": "necessary to maintain the University in its full functions which in any case serve an Imperial policy and not a local Hong Kong purpose.\n\nIt is no good our expecting grants from the Treasury during war, but another possibility occurs to me which would help in present circumstances.\n\nCould we make a case for asking the Rhodes Trust to establish a Rhodes scholarship annually or every other year for a graduate or undergraduate of the Hong Kong University of Chinese nationality or a Chinese British subject?

He felt that the offer of such a scholarship, benefiting at most one Chinese per annum, would be considered so poor a substitute for the substantial help to the University for which he had hoped, and to the possibility of which, I gather, he had referred\n\nin dealing with representatives of Chung King, that\n\nthe gift might be despised in China and harm rather\n\nthan good be done. As this appears to be his considered opinion, it may be as well if the attitude of the Rhodes Trustees proves to be as sticky towards the Scholarship proposal as Lord Elton's letter foreshadows. With regard to the last paragraph in 8 I mentioned that I thought it quite possible that the Trustees, while not allocating a Rhodes Scholarship to Hong Kong, would be prepared to offer temporarily one or more post-graduate scholarship grants for Hong Kong graduates to study in this country provided war conditions permitted. Sir Geoffry's objection to the Rhodes scholarship proposal naturally applied a fortiori to this alternative.\n\nI then suggested the possibility of inviting the Trustees to endow, even if only temporarily, or experimentally, a Chair at the University. The idea was warmly received by the Governor, who thought that a Chair for five years, particularly if it could be stated to be for five years \"in the first instance\" would be a welcome gesture as well as a source of strength and distinction to the University. I said that I had no idea whether the Trustees would consider such a suggestion favourably, but that I thought that it would be carefully examined, if the case were convincingly expounded on imperial grounds and the Chair allocated to a subject likely to be considered appropriate by the Trustees, such as Colonial History, and put up to the Trustees as a short-term experiment rather than as a long-range commitment. Sir Geoffry thought Colonial History very suitable, and hoped we should pursue the idea, but that before doing so we would telegraph to Hong Kong to ascertain whether such a development would be acceptable.\n\nWe might pursue this further. Lord Elton asked Mr. MacDonald last winter whether we could commend to him some project likely to appeal to the Trustees but not involving either heavy capital expenditure or permanent commitments. The surplus revenues now at the disposal of the Trustees are derived from the temporary cessation of Rhodes scholarships during the war.

We replied to the Foreign Office expressing our belief that if the Council were to confirm this offer it would be gratefully accepted by Hong Kong and from that moment (5th December, 1939) we have heard nothing more. For the present I should be inclined to concentrate on the Rhodes Trust and fall back on the British Council when we know what the Rhodes Trust will offer us.\n\n25.9.40.\n\nIt will be seen from Mr. Danby's note opposite that the British Council have taken the advice of Sir John Pratt, the Head of the Far Eastern Department of the Ministry of Information.

The idea had originally been suggested by the Vice-Chancellor of the University in August, 1939, and the Council had ascertained that the present time was judged, by both the Ambassador at Chungking and the Governor of Hong Kong, to be a most propitious one for the scholarships to be instituted. The Far Eastern Department of this Office and the Colonial Office were also in favour of the scheme.\n\nBefore the meeting, White wrote to me to tell me that he was going to include this item in the agenda, but unfortunately his letter did not reach me until after the meeting had taken place and I was therefore unable to consult you on the financial side of the question beforehand. As so many of the interested parties had given their concurrence, however, I gave the scheme the blessing of the Foreign Office, no supplementary financial authorisation being involved.\n\nI hope that I was justified in thinking that the Treasury would not see any objection to the proposed expenditure.\n\nI am sending a copy of this letter to Gent, at the Colonial Office.\n\nSyers, Esq.,\n\nTreasury.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(Signed) A.W.E.

There is a clause in the Statute now which permits Senior Status to be granted to any student, not normally eligible (i.e. by the possession of an approved degree obtained after a course of study extending over three years) who is able to satisfy the Hebdomadal Council that he is particularly well qualified for that status.\n\nSimilar provision exists for admission as a research student for the degrees of B.Litt., or B.Sc.; in these cases a Board has power in exceptional circumstances, to admit a person not normally qualified for such admission, who satisfies it that he is qualified to enter on a course of special study and research.\n\nThe point I was anxious to stress in my letter to Lord Elton was that these Hong Kong graduates would probably not automatically be qualified for exemption from Responsions, or for Senior Status, or for admission as students for research degrees, a position which does not arise in the case of the ordinary Rhodes Scholar.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nC.W.M.Cox Esq.,\n\nThe Colonial Office\n\n29 Queen Anne's Gate S.W.1.\n\nPage 20\n\nPage 21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 569244, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "page_number": 21, "title": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "content_text": "(*3972—150) Wt. 19406--96 5,000 7/40 T.S. 695\n\nC.

We are communicating the substance of this to the Hong Kong authorities, but before this is done could I feel sure you help me to clear up one point: that these picked graduates from Hong Kong University would be likely either to want Senior Status or to take a Research Degree. When you are considering each of these applications for Senior Status on its merits, would a student who has one of the Hong Kong degrees other than those already approved for Senior Status but whose matriculation qualification to Hong Kong did not include two of the languages you mention (one of these being necessarily either Latin or Greek), in practice be automatically excluded from consideration for Senior Status? If the position is that those Hong Kong graduates whose Hong Kong matriculation qualification did not include the right combination of languages for exemption from Oxford Responsions would not be eligible for admission to Senior Status, we ought to let Hong Kong know this; and especially if those in this category would also have to sit for Responsions (or its equivalent) before proceeding to the First Public Examination.\n\nI should be grateful if you could let me know the position.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nCurn Cox P.T.O.\n\nVEALE, ESQre.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 569247, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "content_text": "24\n\nP.S.\n\nI notice from the Universities Year Book that the Hong Kong University Matriculation Examination does not stipulate a pass in more than one language other than English, and this need not be Latin or Greek.\n\ni", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 569248, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "page_number": 25, "title": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "content_text": "ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ADDRESSED TO\n\nTHE SECRETARY.\n\nTELEGRAMS, \"AUGURY, LONDON\"\n\nTELEPHONE, WHITEHALL 0187.\n\nThe\n\nRhodes\n\nTrust ::\n\n25\n\nTEMPORARY ADDRESS, RHODES HOUSE,\n\nOXFORD.\n\nTEL. 48163,\n\n53611/3/40.\n\nDear Mr. Gent,\n\nSeymour House.\n\nTERRLOO MANS\n\nLONDON SW1\n\n17th December 1940.\n\nThe Trustees again considered the question of a grant to the Hong Kong University at their Meeting on Saturday, and decided to confirm their previous offer, which they now understand will be agreeable to Hong Kong University, of a sum of £1,000 in all, to be spent over a period of five years or thereabouts, to enable one or more Chinese, or Chinese British subjects, to come to Oxford.\n\nI think that it is important to see that this post-graduate studentship (as I suppose it will be called) for one, or possibly two, Chinese Students, is not confused with the Rhodes Scholarships. Do you think that it would be appropriate to call it a \"Rhodes Trust Post-Graduate Studentship\"? I consulted the Registrar here as to whether it would be necessary to obtain the approval of the University before establishing this Studentship and he tells me that that will not be necessary. The grant, of course, will be paid not to this University, but to whatever Body is to administer it and nominate the recipients, which, I presume, will be the Governing Body of Hong Kong University.\n\nThe Registrar also points out that, since these Chinese graduates, when they come into residence here, will not come under the jurisdiction of the Warden of Rhodes House, it would be well to inform Mr. Williams, the Secretary to the Delegates for Oriental Students in the University of Oxford, of what is in the wind, since it will be his duty to endeavour to find colleges for the men.\n\nI will send him a line myself, but perhaps you will wish, in due course, to correspond with him officially.\n\nThe Registrar has also kindly sent me the following note on the conditions under which Senior Status can be granted to students from Hong Kong:-\n\n\"The only Hong Kong Degrees at present approved for Senior Status are the B.A. degree, and the B.Sc. Engineering with 1st or 2nd Class Honours; the Hong Kong B.A. is not definitely approved and each candidate holding that degree must be considered on his merits. Thus, although it is unlikely that a recipient of a grant, being a picked man, would not be approved for admission as a Senior Student, there is no certainty in the matter. The matriculation examination of the University of Hong Kong qualifies, of course, for exemption from Responsions, if the candidate has satisfied the Examiners in two of the languages Latin, Greek, French, German, Italian, Spanish (one of which being either Latin or Greek) but I suppose that most of the men who might come under the proposed scheme would need Senior Status, since this exempts from the 1st Public Examination and enables the Oxford B.A. to be obtained in two years.\n\n\"The admission of a Hong Kong B.A. as a candidate...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 569249, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "page_number": 26, "title": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "content_text": "26\n\nfor an Oxford Research degree (B.Litt., B.Sc., D.Phil.) also is not automatic; admission would depend on the merits of each case.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nEllan\n\nSecretary\n\nC.G.C.

I am anxious to make it quite plain to the Vice-Chancellor that all that the Rhodes Trustees have so far approved is a grant of £1,000, to be spent over the next year or two, as may seem most suitable, in order to bring a student or students from Hong Kong to Oxford. It seemed to me that your opening, which refers only to the prospect that the Trustees might be prepared to grant £800 a year for four or five years, without mentioning the way in which this proposal developed out of the other, might seem a bit too optimistic. As I explained, at our discussion, the Rhodes Trustees have had no opportunity to consider either of the two chief proposals which we discussed, since all which they have had before them has been the Secretary of State's letter enquiring as to the possibilities of a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford for Hong Kong. I have also suggested an insertion, at the end, of some enquiry as to what the Vice-Chancellor thinks would be", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 569279, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "page_number": 56, "title": "CO129-583-18 Hong Kong University- British Council and Rhodes Scholarships 1-1-1940 - 31-12-1941", "content_text": "the minimum cost of proposals 2 and 3.\n\nWith kind regards,\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nEllá\n\nG.E.J.

I will look carefully into your suggestion that a Rhodes Scholarship might be founded for a graduate of the University, either a Chinese National or a Chinese British subject. I will bring the proposal before the Trustees at their next meeting. The difficulty about it\n\nis that when the Trustees recently founded two further Rhodes Scholarships for India they came to the conclusion that, although the Indian foundation would doubtless lead to further requests for Rhodes Scholarships from India and possibly elsewhere, they could not expect to increase the total number of scholarships any further. This was due partly to financial reasons and partly to the fact that the capacity of the University here to absorb Rhodes Scholars is thought now to have reached its limit.\n\nYou will see therefore that, quite apart from such difficulties as there may be about fitting Chinese into the framework of the Rhodes Scholarships, there are bound to be considerable obstacles to carry out your suggestion.\n\nI wonder whether, if it should prove impracticable to found a Rhodes Scholarship for Hong Kong University, you could suggest any other way in which it would be possible for the Rhodes Trust to assist the University there.\n\nWith all good wishes\n\nBelieve me,\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nEllan\n\nSecretary.\n\nThe Rt.

However, I will follow the instructions to the best of my ability.\n\nFirst, let's identify any recognizable elements or apply the rules directly where possible:\n\n1. **Format in Markdown**: The output should be in standard Markdown. However, the final output format requested is HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n2. **Correct spelling errors**: Many of the provided words are not English or are nonsensical in this context (\"ん\", \"де\", \"ве\", \"н\", \"لمه\" are not English words, and some appear to be Cyrillic or other scripts).\n\n3. **Fix spacing issues**: There are irregular spacings.\n\n4. **Rejoin broken sentences**: The text doesn't form coherent sentences.\n\n5. **Restore paragraph breaks**: The text is too disjointed.\n\n6. **Indicate missing words**: It's hard to determine where words are missing.\n\n7. **Do not rephrase or rewrite**: Stick to correcting unambiguous errors.\n\n8. The input doesn't lend itself to easy correction due to its disjointed nature.\n\nGiven the input and the rules, here's a step-by-step attempt to process it:\n\n1. Removing or correcting non-English characters and nonsensical words where they don't form part of a recognizable English word or phrase.\n \n2. Attempting to make sense of the remaining text.\n\nThe text provided is highly fragmented and doesn't form coherent English text. Let's look at the parts that could be English:\n\n- \"Sho this &days\" could be \"Show this days\" or more likely \"Show this in days.\"\n- \"maker be\" is unclear.\n- \"ww of\" could be \"work of\" or \"WW of,\" possibly referring to something related to \"WW,\" but it's speculative.\n- \"not pleas\" might be \"not please\" or \"not pleasing.\"\n- \"I Wish it\" seems correct but could be \"I wish it were\" if continuing a sentence.\n- \"Secreting of State\" likely should be \"Secretary of State,\" a common governmental title.\n- \"my I would send is how - it is oute\" is very unclear but might be attempting to convey a thought about sending something.\n- \"prelimimmy ensuing\" could be \"preliminary ensuing.\"\n- \"47. Salient.\" could be a heading or a point being made.\n- \"67\" is a number, possibly a page number, reference, or year.\n\nLet's attempt to format what's recognizable into HTML as per the instructions:\n\nSho this &days\n\nmaker be\n\nww of\n\nnot pleas\n\nI Wish it\n\nSecreting of State\n\nmy I would send is how - it is oute\n\nprelimimmy ensuing\n\n47. Salient.\n\nSU\n\n67\n\nFor the non-English characters and nonsensical parts:\n- \"ん\", \"де\", \"ве\", \"н\", \"لمه\" are left as is because the rule is not to translate or remove unless it's an error that's unambiguous.\n\nHowever, directly outputting the given text with minimal changes in HTML format as requested:\n\nん\n\nде\n\nSho this &days\n\nве\n\nmaker be\n\nww of\n\nnot pleas\n\nI Wish it\n\nн\n\n7\n\nSecreting of State\n\nmy\n\nI would send is how - it is oute\n\n4\n\nprelimimmy ensuing\n\n47.
