B., has been pleased to appoint ALFRED LISTER, Esquire, to be Sheriff of Hongkong, from this date until further notice, vice M. S. TONNOCHY, Esquire.\n\nBy Command,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd April, 1870.\n\n**No. 115.**\n\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.\n\n### GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nThe following Regulations for Street-Chairs and Chair-Coolies are published for general information.\n\nBy Command,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 2nd October, 1869.\n\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.\n\nNo Street Chairs may ply for hire after midnight; they may, however, carry their fares as long as required.\n\nEach Chair is secured for a sum of $50. Should articles of a higher value than this be lost in any Chair, there will be very little hope of their recovery through the Security.\n\nWhen loss of property in any Street Chair is suspected, its number should be forwarded to the Registrar General at once without any loss of time.\n\nWhen ground of complaint arises against any Street Chair-Coolie, the Person aggrieved may either hand the offender over to the Police, or send a Memorandum of the complaint and the Chair's Number to the Registrar General. It must however be remembered, that the Registrar General can inflict only a reprimand, but neither fine nor imprisonment without the testimony of an eye witness on oath.\n\nThis however may be supplied by any Chinese who witnessed the Offence, if accredited by a confirmatory note from his employer.\n\nPersons who are inconvenienced by the congregating of Chairs near their premises should notify the Registrar General, who will, if practicable, establish a \"Chair Stand\" in the nearest convenient place, and as far as possible enforce the Ordinance in regard to it.\n\nAn attempt will be made to enforce the ordinary \"Rule of the Road,\" along Queen's Road, more especially in the evening. It is requested that all Persons riding in Chairs or driving Vehicles will co-operate with the Police by observing the Rule of keeping the left side.\n\nEach Street Chair carries on the back of its Number Board, a Tariff of Fares, condensed from the following:\n\n### LEGALISED TARIFF OF FARES FOR CHAIRS, CHAIR BEARERS, AND BOATS, IN THE COLONY OF HONGKONG.\n\n| Service | Fare |\n| --- | --- |\n| Chairs, or Ordinary Pullaway Boats, Half hour | 12 cents |\n| Hour | .50 cents |\n| Three hours | .75 cents |\n| Six hours | One Dollar |\n| Day (from 6 to 6) |  |\n| Night Fares (after 8 P.M.) | .10 cents extra |\n| CHAIR HIRE TO OUT DISTRICTS.* |  |\n| To Stanley and back | .50 cents per Man |\n| Beyond Victoria and back | .60 cents per Man |\n| LICENSED BEARERS (EACH.) Half day | 20 cents |\n| Day | .36 cents |\n\n* Persons who make short excursions out of the town should understand that they are quite at liberty to pay by the hour if they prefer to do so.\n\nVictoria lies below the level of Robinson Road, and includes all the town between the Mint and the Western Slaughter House, with the Race-course.\n\nCopies of the above Tariff, in English and Chinese, or of these Regulations, can be obtained on application at the Registrar General's Office.\n\nRegistrar General's Office, 1st October, 1869.\n\n### GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nOwners of Tenements assessed to the Police, Lighting, Water and Fire Brigade Rates, are informed that the Rates are payable in advance during and within the month of April, for the Second Quarter of the year 1870.\n\n### NOTICE.\n\nThe attention of Rate Payers is drawn to the Second Clause of Ordinance No. 9 of 1869, which Clause specifies that in Default in the Payment of Rates, such arrears may be sued for by the Colonial Treasurer in the Court of Summary Jurisdiction, and a Certificate under the hand of the Treasurer, setting forth the particulars of the sums due for Rates and then outstanding shall be \"Prima facie evidence of the Facts certified by the Treasurer.\n\nRate Payers are therefore informed that all Rates in arrear after the 30th April, 1870, will be sued for in accordance with the Provisions of the Clause and Ordinance specified above.\n\nFREDK. FORTH, Colonial Treasurer.\n\nColonial Treasury, Hongkong, 7th April, 1870.\n\n### NOTICE.\n\nAny persons who have in their possession old Registration Tickets belonging to Servants who have left or have been dismissed, are requested to send the same to this Office, with any remarks, on separate papers, they may wish to have recorded.\n\nIt would much tend to the more satisfactory working of the Registration of Domestic Servants, if Registration Tickets were in every case kept completely out of the possession of the Servants themselves. On the dismissal of a Servant his Ticket should be sent to this Office, unless it can be handed at once to his new Employer, and should on no account be confided to his own custody.\n\nALFRED LISTER, Acting Registrar General.\n\nRegistrar General's Office, Hongkong, 28th May, 1869.\n\n### NOTICE.\n\nConsignees and Masters of Ships are hereby informed that, after the 15th Proximo, the Boundary, North of which Vessels shall not anchor, is as follows:--- Kellet's Island bearing E. by S. 1/2 S.\n\nAll Ships to be properly moored with 35 fathoms Chain (East and West). The passage between the North Boundary of Men-of-War anchorage and the Kowloon Peninsula is to be kept clear.\n\nSteamers and Vessels not having definite employment will still remain on the North side.\n\nH.

        "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nEnclosure1.\n\nHONGKONG, APRIL 11TH, 1891.\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held yesterday afternoon. There were present:---\n\nHon. W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary, in the chair.\n\nHon. W. M. GOODMAN, Attorney-General. Hon. N. J. MITCHELL-INNES, Colonial Treasurer.\n\nHon J. H. STEWART-LOCKHART, Registrar-General.\n\nHon. S. BROWN, Surveyor-General.\n\nHon. P. KYRIE\n\nHon. Ho KAI.\n\nHon. J. J. KESWICK.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD.\n\nMr. A. M. THOMSON, Acting Clerk of Councils.\n\nTHE MILITARY CONTRIBUTION AND THE INCREASED SALARIES.\n\nHon. T. H. WHITEHEAD rose to move the following resolution:-\" That in consequence of the enhanced military contribution still demanded by the Imperial Government this Colony is not in a position to pay the increased salaries recently recommended by the unofficial members and that the Secretary of State be requested by telegram to withhold his sanction\" The hon member said I have to thank His Excellency for acceding to my request for the postponement of the discussion of this motion It was not asked for because of any doubt or uncertainty in my mind as to the facts and figures on which the resolution was deliberately based, or because of any hesitation as to the wisdom and propriety of the position taken up. I asked for an adjournment that the figures might be officially before the Council and the public in such form that the correctness of my statements might not be questioned. I shall endeavour to satisfy hon. members that the position is not untenable, that the motion has not been the outcome of any sudden impulse, or of anything worse, and that in the result, it will strengthen, not weaken, as His Excellency seems to think, the hands of the unofficial members in their protest, their most respectful and moderately worded protest, against the enhanced military contribution. This resolution will have the further advantage, whether intended or not, of giving His Excellency and the hon. the official members of this Council a legitimate opportunity of discussing the general financial situation, and of demonstrating, if it is possible to do so, the ability of the colony to bear even heavier burdens than those now imposed upon it.\n\nHis Excellency has twice reproached the unofficial members with their refusal to discuss this question during the course of our recent debates on the revote of the military contribution for 1890. I hope you will not find them backward now, but I adhere to the opinion that such discussion was out of place on the question of the re-vote. I cannot agree with His Excellency in the assertion that the demand of the Imperial Government for the payment of the extra £20,000 was based upon new and general grounds. That statement is not borne out by the Secretary of State's telegram and despatch of the 13th February last. Lord Knutsford simply demands payment of money already voted but unpaid. The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, the Hon. Captain Superintendent of Police, and the Hon. the Attorney-General, each and all have declared that it was simply and solely a re-vote, nothing more and nothing less than a re-vote. It may be correct to say this year's enhanced military contribution has been asked for on other grounds than the promised increase of the Garrison, but this cannot with truth be said with reference to 1890. With regard to that vote there has been a deliberate breach of faith and a glaring violation by the Imperial Government of a solemn agreement with the Colony,\n\nPage 3\n\n582\n\nand His Excellency will not find a dozen persons in the island who will agree with him that there has not been. I cannot concur with His Excellency in the opinion that I must abandon motion if I am not prepared to assert and prove that the Colony is not in a position to pay the increased rate of salaries as well as the enhanced military contribution. I may be of opinion that in this year, or perhaps the next, the Colony is in a position, without grievous loss or hurt, to bear the double burden, and yet be of opinion that the Colony will not in the near future be able to support the present increased army of officials at the higher rates of pay.\n\nFrom the official statement laid before the Council to-day it appears that salaries for 1891 will aggregate $758,139, as compared with $655,233 for 1890 and $547,050 for 1887. I may further and do think that, unless the Colony can see its way not merely to pay these salaries this year and next, but for several years to come, it would be unjust and unfair to colonists and officials alike to grant an increase of salaries that three or four years hence may have to be reduced to their present or even to a lower level. The question for debate now is not, Is the Colony able to pay these increased salaries this year or next, but are our prospects in the near future such and so assured that we shall be able to continue to pay these enhanced rates of salary permanently. We are not giving a bonus out of the realized profits of a few good years to our official servants, but we are binding the Colony to pay these increased rates for years to come. We may vote the military contribution this year, and contemplate the probability that next year we shall be unable to pay it. We cannot deal that way with the question of salaries. These salaries bind the Colony for years to come. Salaries cannot be reduced without the greatest injustice, and except under the pressure of the most urgent necessity.\n\nThere are two points for consideration, the propriety of the proposed increase of salaries, and our ability to pay and to continue to pay this increase. The unofficial members have cordially recognised the propriety and justice of an increase of salaries. It was on their recommendation it was authorized, they are not wavering on that point, but on second thoughts they begin to doubt the ability of the Colony to pay the increased salaries over a course of years, and the wisdom of granting them, if in a few years they may have to be reduced. I am of opinion that the officers of the Government have fair grounds for asking for an increase of salaries, if the Colony can afford to pay such increase, but I think the Council ought to be satisfied not only that it is able to pay them this year and next, but for some years to come.\n\nFrom the latest official information furnished to the Council there is an estimated deficit of about $100,000 in our finances at the end of this current year. Therefore I do not see how we can honestly pay the heavy increase in salaries even this year. I see no prospect in the near future of wiping out that deficit. It seems to me that it must increase. It was in the early part of 1889, I think, that this question of an increase in salaries took form and that a Committee was appointed by His Excellency to investigate and report on it. What was the position of this Colony, or rather our estimate of its position and prospects, when this question of salaries was first mooted ? It is set forth in His Excellency's brilliant despatch of 31st October, 1889, to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State, Lord Knutsford. His Excellency in that despatch was able to refer to the great wealth of the Colony; to the 39 millions of dollars of deposits in the local European and Chinese Banks; to the market value of all registered companies in Hongkong-63 millions of dollars and over; and to the enormous rise in the value of land, Marine lots having advanced 50 per cent, and Inland lots 15 to 20 per cent.; also to the 35 new joint stock companies formed since 1st January, 1888, with capital then paid up aggregating over 9 millions of dollars, for land investment, manufacture, and trade in Hongkong, and for mining and planting enterprises in the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and Tonkin. His Excellency was then able to express strong hopes as to the success of nearly all these new companies, and to the certainty of a further great increase in the value of land in Hongkong.",

It was debated at much length. Sir H. May was consistently opposed on the ground that there was not enough work for a Third Judge, and on ground of cost. On 24th February, 1908, he said \"the question has been a good deal discussed of late outside Government circles and as far as I can gather the consensus of opinion is that if the work is properly distributed between the Chief Justice and Puisne Judge there is not work at present for a 3rd Judge\". This was the opinion expressed by Mr. M. Slable among others to Mr. May, but he seems to have revised it in a conversation with me on 3rd April, 1908.\n\nSir F. Piggott warmly supported a scheme for an Appeal Court common to the Straits Settlements, Hongkong, and Shanghai - 18th September, 1908. The whole of the correspondence was submitted to the Secretary of State on 18th July, 1908, and on 14th September, 1908, he decided finally to adopt the scheme of borrowing the Shanghai Judge and directed me to make provision in the Estimates. It was then too late to do so, but I announced the Secretary of State's decision in Legislative Council on 24th September, 1908, and it was fully approved by the Unofficial Members. No opposition was apparently expected from the Chief Justice, who however did oppose it, and a letter of 21st September, 1908, to him expressed much surprise and quoted passages from his own letters in support of the principle. Thereafter, the Attorney-General was instructed to draft a bill. He consulted the Crown Solicitor (31st October, 1908) and \"the leaders of the Bar and the Law Society\" (12th December, 1908), and they drew up a Memorandum of resolutions. A draft bill was drawn up with the aid of Mr. Pollock and Sir H. Berkeley, the 2 leaders of the Bar. The draft was referred to the Chief Justice, and his criticisms, in part adopted, were sent to the Secretary of State with the bill on 26th January, 1909, to come into operation on 1st June, 1909. Sir F. Piggott's criticisms were so hostile that on May 3rd, 1909, the Secretary of State decided to drop the scheme pending Sir F. Piggott's retirement.\n\nSir H. Berkeley 'cting as Attorney-General and",

This will mean no immediate extra cost, but\n\nit will tend to keep men in the postal service for longer periods.\n\nFor the Sixth Grade Shroffs, I would recommend\n\n$240 to $360 and $360 to $420 on passing simple examination in\n\nEnglish. This causes no increase, and will make the men learn\n\nsufficient English for giving Registration receipts etc.,\n\nAs regards the postmen, I would recommend that the\n\nwhole system of service be altered. The initial pay of $10 a\n\nmonth and quarters is insufficient to attract the right class of\n\nmen. They lack knowledge of English, with the result that time and\n\nclerical labour is lost in translating addresses, and errors in\n\ndelivery are made. The better men, of long service, have shown\n\nthat they are capable of being used as sorters, and if postmen are\n\nable to rise to higher duties, with better salaries, better men\n\nwill be obtained, time will be saved, and the clerk class of\n\nsorters will be reduced or kept down in numbers.\n\nThe Postman Staff is at present as follows:-\n\nOne No. 1 $30 a month (This man will retire next year), one head\n\npostman $20 to $25, 4 marine stampers $13, one postmen $15, one\n\npostman $14, 2 postmen $12, 4 postmen $11, 85 postmen $10. All\n\nthe above (except the head postman) get $2 or free quarters,\n\ntwo men get $2 a month extra for attending to closed rails, all men\n\nexcept 57 who joined after June 1st., 1909, get extra mail money\n\non arrival of certain mails, and all get 25 cents a day extra\n\nfor attendance on Sundays and holidays.\n\n53 men have been in the service less than two years\n\nit takes a considerable time to train Chinese as efficient post-\n\nmen.",

        "content_text": "# 151 \n\n## 2\n\nThe main road from Kueichow to the Yang-taze and Szechuan, i.e., from Kueiyang, through Tsunyi, to Chungking. The more westerly roads from Yunnan into Szechuan, i.e., from Tali and Tengyueh, can be left out of account as they lead into the March country. There are thus three points of strategic importance on the Upper Yang-tsze—Suifu, Luchow, and Chungking, being the Szechuan leads of the three main roads from Yunnan and Kueichow. At Suifu was a small garrison, which was reinforced on the outbreak of trouble by 2,000 troops from Chengtu; at Luchow was stationed a General Lin with a division of Szechuan troops of doubtful loyalty; and at Chungking was a garrison of Ch'en Yi's northern troops.\n\nOn the outbreak of civil war the Imperial forces at Suifu and Luchow were pushed southwards, the former entering Yunnan and advancing down the Chaotung road for 70 miles or so, and the latter being moved south to Yungning on the Weining road.\n\nThe Yunnan rebels advancing from Yunnan-fu by the Tungchuan-Chaotung road met and defeated the Szechuanese Imperialists from Suifu at Laoyatan about the 16th January, advanced and repulsed them again at Ampien about the 18th January, and occupied Suifu, the most important centre on the Yang-taze west of Chungking on the 20th January. It appears probable that General Wu and his Szechuanese at Suifu did not fight seriously, but withdrew or went over to the rebels. Meanwhile, at Yungning the attitude of General Liu and his 8,000 Szechuanese covering Luchow is most uncertain; the Chengtu authorities are doubtful about them, and the Yunnan-fu authorities claim to count on their support. Thus, of the two main roads leading from Yunnan to Szechuan, the rebels hold the Tungchuan-Chaotung-Suifu one throughout, and appear likely to be in possession of the Weining-Yungning-Luchow one shortly. General Tsai Ao, Commander-in-chief of the rebel forces, left Yünnan-fu for Weining on the 6th January, from which it seems probable that another rebel force will shortly debouch into Szechuan by this road and join hands with the wavering Szechuanese troops at Yungning and Luchow.\n\nAlthough the Yunnan rebels by acting promptly have seized Suifu, and possibly the whole of the Upper Yang-tsze as far down as Luchow, the campaign cannot yet be said to have seriously commenced, since the Government expeditionary force of northern troops has not yet had time to reach the scene of action. This expeditionary force consists of the 3rd Hupei Division (from Yochow) with some additional troops, amounting in all to about 10,000 men, under General Ts'ao Kun, followed by the 7th Division (from Peking) with additional mixed brigade, also totalling about 10,000 men under General Chang Yao. The 10th Division (from Peking) is also said to be moving as a reserve. These troops have got to be hauled up the Yang-tsze from Ichang in native boats, there being no steam navigation to speak of at this time of the year. The journey from Ichang to Chungking in a native boat takes at least three weeks. General Tsao Kun's troops (the 3rd Hupei Division) were passing through Ichang during the first half of January, and the main body cannot possibly get to Chungking before the end of the month or early February.\n\nIt is possible, therefore, that the Yunnan rebels may meet with further success on the Upper Yang-taze in the near future, since there is nothing to stop them but Szechuan troops, many of whom are a doubtful quantity. But the real test will not come till the Imperialist expeditionary force gets beyond Chungking. Then, according to the official plan, General Ts'ao Kun's 3rd Division, with his rear protected by the following 7th Division, will join hands with General Chen Yi's northern troops and attack Yunnan in earnest. Wholesale defections by the Szechuanese troops to the rebel side before General Ts'ao Kun gets up-river would completely change the whole outlook. The attitude of Kueichow is also of great importance in connection with the campaign, owing to its position on the flank of the expeditionary force rendering possible an attack on Chungking from Kueiyang by the Tsunyi main road.\n\nThe Yunnanese are good soldiers with a great reputation in Szechuan. In 1911 a Yünnanese army entered Szechuan by the Suifu route, ostensibly to fight the Imperialists, but in reality to levy contributions on the rich cities of southern Szechuan. Though vastly outnumbered, they did as they liked in the province for months, and only withdrew of their own accord after the declaration of the republic. It remains to be seen whether they will prove a match for the well-equipped northern troops. Similarly, the Kueichow army showed its worth vis-a-vis the Szechuanese when in occupied Chungking during the interprovincial fighting in the autumn of 1913. The Kueichow troops only withdrew of their own accord after negotiation. During the troubles of 1911, 1912, and 1913 there was always a tendency on the part of the authorities of Yünnan and Kueichow, both poor but warlike provinces, to regard the rich and peaceable Szechuanese as a legitimate field for their freebooting expeditions, and to aim at the incorporation of Szechuan with Yunnan and Kueichow to form a federated south-western Chinese State. Szechuan has, in the past, also shown strong separatist tendencies, and for geographical and other reasons has always been in much closer touch with Yunnan and Kueichow on the south than with Hupei, Shensi, and Kansu on the north.\n\nPeking, January 23, 1916.\n\n## Enclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Joint Despatch signed and sealed by the Military and Civil Governors to Consul-General Gough.** (Translation.)\n\nSir,\n\nThe Republic of China was duly recognised by all the friendly Powers, but the President, Yuan Shih-kai, in violation of the Constitution and his oath, has now taken advantage of the continuance of the European war to plan a rebellion and cast his eyes upon the Imperial dignity. His Majesty's Minister in Peking has more than once counselled and warned him, but in utter disregard of all sense of right he ruthlessly pursues his way. Consequently, the friendly Powers have abandoned him, and the Chinese people regard him as of no account.\n\nWe received our appointments from the Republican Government and only recognise loyalty and duty towards the republic. All the provinces have unitedly declared that they will uphold the republic and continue in that path.\n\nWe recall that Great Britain previously recognised the republic, and we feel assured that on this occasion the British Government, as well as yourself, will approve our purpose of safeguarding the republic and upholding the Constitution. It is, accordingly, our duty to formally notify you of our intentions in order to strengthen our good relations with your country.\n\nIt is now our duty to inform you, for communication to your Government and the British Minister at Peking, of the course we propose to follow with regard to the treaties, and of our earnest desire for cordial relations with Great Britain :-\n\n1. From the date of the declaration of independence all the treaties negotiated with the Manchu and Republican Governments, as well as the separate conventions regarding Burmah and Tonkin, to continue in force.\n2. The lives and property of all foreign officials, merchants, and missionaries residing or travelling within our sphere of influence to be afforded full protection, as provided by treaty. Compensation will be paid by us for any actual losses incurred; but losses incurred through proceeding, in despite of our warning, into the territory of the tribesmen or disturbed districts will not be included in this category.\n3. We request you to telegraph to the Government of Burmah asking that the civil and military officials on the frontier be instructed to co-operate, as before, with the military and civil officials of the Republic of Yunnan for the preservation of order on the frontier.\n4. The neutrality in the European war proclaimed by the Republican Government will be fully enforced in our sphere of influence.\n5.

Jordan.** (Translation.)\n\nSir,\n\nYünnan-fu, December 31, 1915.\n\nWhen on the 10th October, 1911, the standard of right was first raised in China, and all the other provinces responded, the reason was that the people of the whole country had long been weary of oppression under an autocrat: they arose with enthusiasm and brought about a political revolution. At that time the friendly Powers...",

But still worse follows. The slave case reported in the Hong Kong press has reached the northern provinces of China and an influential Chinese newspaper has taken up the case of the Chinese, in an article \n\nGovernment \n\npublished in the \"North China Daily News.\" \n\nIn this article (extracts from which I enclose) the writer says:- \"What strikes us as being remarkable is that the Hong Kong Court had no knowledge of, or overlooked the fact that for some years prior to the formation of a Republic in China, the purchase and sale of slaves was made a criminal \n\noffence........... \n\nIf the possession of slaves is illegal in China, there can be no question of respecting Chinese custom in Hong Kong.\" \n\nSo flop goes the elaborate defence of slavery set up by the legal fraternity of Hong Kong.

        "content_text": "## 36\n\nto Yun Ho. This country was extremely difficult to travel in owing to its mountainous nature, without any flat land anywhere, even in the valleys.\n\nIt took us, however, into what is probably the most secluded part of Chekiang, which is rarely visited by foreigners - missionary or traveller - and as rarely by Chinese, for there is nothing in the way of trade to take them there. The magistrate of Tai Shun told me that I was the only foreigner to visit the place in his experience of two years there. This part of the country is sparsely populated, wild, and much is uncultivated. Its seclusion, however, served our purpose well, and enabled us to judge what effect was being given to opium suppression in the out-of-the-way parts of the province. After leaving the Ping Yang plain, one and a half days were spent in the mountains of that district before reaching the border of Tai Shun. A tribe who are possibly akin to the Miaotzu and speak a language of their own inhabits the mountains in the Ching Ning, Yun Ho, and Ch'u Chou districts.\n\nSubsidiary roads were followed from Taishun via Ching Ning to Yun Ho, where we took boats to Ch'u Chou, which we reached on the 29th April, having taken eight days from Ping Yang, 730 li (243 miles).\n\nAt Ch'u Chou, the Rev. Pastor Röhn told me that two men had been shot three weeks previously for cultivating opium there; both had only grown a few plants. In the course of extensive travelling in the district, he had seen no opium this year, and thought that there had been very little attempt made to grow it.\n\nMr. Dickie, of the China Inland Mission at Kinwha, whom I met here, gave me a similar account as to the state of affairs around that district.\n\nThe time at my disposal did not now permit of my visiting the west of the province, excepting by following main roads, which would have been useless for my purpose. I therefore decided to return through the centre of the province. The party then went by main road from Ch'u Chou to Chin Yun and by a circuitous route from there through part of the Yung Kang district to Tung Yang and Chu Chi, which was reached on the 5th May. At Chu Chi, an English missionary told me that in the course of numerous journeys through the Pukiang, Yi Wu, and Chu Chi districts, he had seen no opium growing this year.\n\nAt Chu Chi, the effective part of the inspection tour ended, and boats were taken to Hangchow, which was reached on the 6th May.\n\nThe effective part of the journeys above outlined covered the following distances approximately:\n\n| Route | Li | Miles |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Hsiang Shan via Taichow to Wenchow (land) | 580 | 193 |\n| Wenchow to Jui An via islands | 180 | 60 |\n| Jui An to Ch'u Chou | 730 | 243 |\n| Ch'u Chou to Chu Chi | 444 | 148 |\n| Total | 2,185 | 728 |\n\nIn the course of this journey, which included a week's travelling in probably the most secluded part of the province - the mountainous Ping Yang-Taishun-Ching Ning region - I saw no poppy growing whatever. The journey covered some 700 miles and took twenty-five days. Bypaths and unfrequented routes were consistently followed as far as possible, and a very large portion of the journey was along them. Excellent and extensive views of secluded cultivation on the tops of the hills were frequently obtained from the mountain passes.\n\nPoppy used formerly to be cultivated to a greater or lesser extent along the whole route, more especially in the Taichow and Wenchow districts.\n\nDuring the earlier months of the year, references appeared from time to time in the native papers at Hangchow to discoveries by the authorities in various districts of poppy cultivation; these were usually represented to be on a very small scale - in most cases, only a few plants being grown. In some cases, I obtained partial confirmation of these newspaper reports when passing through the localities concerned. I also heard of other instances, as at Ch'u Chou, where two men had been shot three weeks before my arrival. It therefore appears that some attempt has been made in various parts of the province to grow opium this season, but probably on a very small scale in most instances. The most determined attempt was probably made in Ping Yang, where with considerable difficulty I succeeded in buying a fresh plant, but this was all the material evidence of growth which I was able to obtain during the whole trip. No doubt, some attempts to grow have escaped detection - one or two officials admitted this as a probability. Officials appear, however, to have been so strict in the matter that these instances can be comparatively few, and what poppy may still be standing must in the aggregate be but very little.\n\nIt seems to me that, along the route taken by the inspection party, cultivation of poppy has ceased this season in all places where it used to be carried on ordinarily in former times, both on and off main roads. Any that may exist could only be found by detective methods, is very little, and in most secluded places. Information received from missionaries, to which reference is made above, in regard to districts which were not visited would seem to confirm this conclusion.\n\n## Smoking, Export, and Import\n\nAny dealing with the drug is a criminal offence, and whatever smoking, export, or import may go on, is necessarily done in secret. In the course of a hurried visit to a place, it is therefore almost impossible to obtain any reliable information on the subject.\n\nSmoking - Throughout the journey, neither my servants nor I saw anyone smoking.\n\nAt Taichow, Dr. Babington thought that there were still a certain number of smokers, chiefly inveterates confined to the richer classes. Some people take pills in order to break off smoking, but this was merely an exchange of the habit of smoking for that of eating the drug. Occasionally, a patient would come to the mission hospital for some disease, in the treatment of which the doctors would discover the above. Such cases were very rare now, however.\n\nAt Ping Yang, Père Boisard thought there was a reduced but still considerable number of smokers, among rich and poor alike. The high price of the drug was, however, beginning to affect the latter.\n\nAt Chu Chou, Mr. Röhn considered that a certain number of people still smoked. Occasionally, a man would come to the mission to be cured of the habit. He thought that a number of people, in trying to give up smoking, had taken to eating the drug in the form of so-called \"anti-opium pills.\"\n\nI did not succeed in buying the drug anywhere, but have little doubt that it can be purchased in the larger places only, however, by people whom the seller knows. Strangers can never get it. Present smokers supply themselves from stores of previous years. These are required for local consumption and are too valuable to be sent away.\n\nExport - I doubt if there is any export of opium.\n\nImport - Some opium may, no doubt, be smuggled in, but I do not think that it can be on any large scale, owing to the strictness of the officials. Père Boisard thought that a little was brought into Ping Yang secretly across the mountains from Fukien. This was the only instance of information regarding import which I was able to obtain.\n\n## Activity of Officials\n\nIn all cases, as far as I could hear, the officials have been, and are, extremely strict and severe.\n\nThe methods adopted are, to the foreign mind, harsh and unjust, and in no small number of cases, men have been shot for growing no more than a few plants. In other cases, ruinous fines have been imposed, and in one or two instances (as mentioned above regarding Ping Yang), houses, if not villages, have been burnt down. It is scarcely to be doubted that many officials, uncertain as to how long they may hold office under the present Government, are extremely active and severe, as the movement for suppression affords them a good opportunity of feathering their own nests.\n\n## 37\n\n## Enclosure 3 in No. 17\n\nSir J. Jordan to Wai-chiao Pu\n\nPeking, May 25, 1914\n\nI HAVE the honour to inform you that I have received a report from Mr. Consul J. L. Smith on the tour of investigation for opium poppy cultivation recently made in Chekiang province under the terms of the `1911 Opium Agreement`.\n\nMr. Smith reports that no cultivation was found by the investigating party, and `[6032]`\n\nD 3 \n\n508",

Not only they take constant interest in the politics of the world and the National Revolution in China, but also they have realized how revolution can be accomplished and how emancipation can be secured. There have been many in- stances which will prove this, and the Great Conference held by the Cantonese a few days ago on account of the Sino-British negotiations is the latest proof that has been afforded us. We can say for certain that the Cantonese have been baptized into revolution, and are no longer as they were formerly.\n\nWe are only hoping for one thing, and this is that England will lose no time to show by facts that she will adhere throughout the negotiations to the basic principles mentioned above, viz, Equality, Justice and Accordance with the change of circumstances.",

        "content_text": "# \n\n**straw** who hoped to make a quick boom profit were deservedly punished, and it is a fact that in the years 1933 to 1937 there was in the Colony what has been described to us as an overbuilt position\". but the majority of property owners must be regarded as legitimate investors, and had it not been for the overbuilt position, the present acute shortage of accommodation would have been much accentuated.\n\n3. During the years of severe depression, property owners were left with great numbers of vacant tenements on their hands, and were glad to find tenants at rentals which did not yield an economic return on capital outlay. Many tenants availed themselves of this position to move into a class of premises considerably superior to that which they would normally occupy, and when, with the increased demand for accommodation due mainly, but probably not entirely, to the outbreak of the present Sino-Japanese hostilities, rents began to show an upward tendency, these tenants found themselves faced with demands for rentals which they could not afford to meet but which were not in the great majority of cases at all exorbitant having regard to the class of property in respect of which they were charged. The Government Assessor of Rates gave us an example in his evidence of flats let in Wongneichong for $145 per month four or five years ago, fetching after the slump and until the commencement of the upward tendency only $70 per month, and later made the general statement that in some cases where he had found what appeared to be a very heavy increase in rent, investigation had shown that during the depression rents were excessively low for the class of property concerned. If a more normal level of rental were taken as a standard, there was in fact no excessive increase.\n\n4. Many other tenants did not move from their residences, but reaped the benefit of the slump by threatening to quit unless their landlords reduced the existing rents. The landlords were forced to agree to reduction in order to avoid being left with empty and wholly unremunerative premises on their hands. The Government Assessor of Rates summed up this aspect of the situation in his evidence in the words \"tenants have for the past few years been holding a pistol to the landlords' heads\".\n\n5. Our attention was thus directed to the question whether the rentals which we had been informed had been increased or were about to be increased had on the average reached or were about to reach a rate of rental higher than that prevailing for the same premises before the depression set in.\n\n6. A prominent member of the Chinese community, whom we invited to give evidence, stated that up to November, 1937, beyond which date he had not pursued enquiries, statistics showed that rentals had not gone back to pre-depression figures.\n\n7. We next investigated the records at the office of the Government Assessor of Rates from 1928 or, in the case of new buildings, from the first assessment, until the present time, paying particular attention to the premises referred to by landlords and tenants in their written or oral statements.\n\n8. Of some 269 addresses, some of which probably included several floors, only 213 provided sufficient data upon which to base any conclusions whatever. In only 45 of these 213 cases did the Government Assessor's records of assessment show definite figures for 1933 and 1937, the figure for 1937 being confirmed by the tenant, who also provided a figure for 1938. Of the 45 cases, 8 showed an increase of rent above the 1933-1934 level; 11 showed a return to that level; 17, while increased beyond the 1937 level, had not reached the 1933-1934 level and in 5 cases we were already aware that a bare notice to quit had been given. Of the 8 cases showing an increase over the 1933-1934 level, one related to a factory, one to a school and one, we learned from the landlord, was really a notice to quit. Of the remaining cases, the increases over the 1933-1934 level were either small or, in relation to the class of premises concerned, not excessive.\n\n9. As regards the 168 cases remaining after deducting the 45 cases of which there were exact assessment figures for the years 1933 and 1937, we were in some difficulty, for assessments had often been made on whole houses and we had therefore in such cases to make an estimate of floor rents by having regard to the rent of the whole house and inquiring what rents were the basis of assessment for comparative floors in the neighbourhood. In order to avoid any possibility of bias, we made this estimate without having the figures given by landlords and tenants before us, and with some doubt we consider that in 29 cases the rent has been raised above the 1933-1934 level; in 22 cases has been restored to that level; in 52 cases has been raised above the 1937 level, but has not yet reached the 1933-1934 level and in 27 cases has been raised above the 1937 level with no figures of pre-depression rentals available. In 36 cases we were already aware that bare notice to quit had been given. The remaining 2 cases are probably increases to a high rent with a view to getting rid of the tenant.\n\n10. Although we have done our best to arrive at a correct conclusion, these figures are at best guesswork, and may be either too high or too low. Even the figures relating to the 45 cases mentioned above are only approximate. We prefer to place greater reliance on the facts and figures set forth in the succeeding paragraphs of this Report.\n\n## Illustrations from Written and Oral Evidence\n\n11. A tenant of a floor in Glenealy wrote to us, and his own words are illuminating \"I have been living in the above address since 1935 June paying a monthly rent of $60 and in December 1935 I asked for a reduction of $10 and my landlord only complied with it when I sent in the month's notice to leave. $60 rent I could not pay, but as the locality is good I meant to stay for 6 months only unless finding me a good and regular tenant the landlord will reduce the rent to $50\". It will be observed that the tenancy commenced during the depression, and that the tenant obtained accommodation of a type for which he could not afford to pay even during that period in the hope of obtaining a reduction. The landlord now proposes to raise the rent to $65 per month.\n\n12. A tenant in Kennedy Road writes: \"For over two years I have been paying a rental of $90. When I moved in, this place was not at all considered a bargain (witness the fact that it had been vacant for some time before I took it over)\". Again the rent of $90 commenced during the depression and it is obvious that the landlord would accept a rental at that figure rather than leave the premises vacant.\n\n13. A letter in the issue of the South China Morning Post of the 17th March, 1938, alleged an increase in rental as follows:— \n| Old Rent | New Rent | Increase |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| $60 | $100 | 66⅔ per cent.; subject to a lease for 2 years being signed within 15 days of notice, the new rent is to be reduced to $90\" |\n\nThe letter went on to allege extortion on the part of \"one of the biggest property owners in the Colony\". The writer of this letter did not appear before us, but his landlords did, and from unimpeachable evidence we are satisfied that the true facts are as follows:— \n\nIn September, 1930, the flat (not house) in question was let for $107 per month \"including taxes and water\". In December, 1930, the rent was adjusted to $95 per month \"exclusive of taxes\". (This really means rates). This adjustment amounted to a monthly liability on the part of the tenant to pay $110.80. In September, 1933, by which time the depression was beginning to make itself felt, the tenant asked for a reduction of his rent to $90, adding that he would be compelled to give notice if his request was not acceded to. The landlords did not agree to the reduction, the tenant left, and the flat stood vacant for over two months.",

        "content_text": "# HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThat this is far from the case is obvious from the numerous alternatives suggested to Government by representative and responsible bodies in this Colony, by the press, and by individuals sufficiently alarmed at the prospect to have filled the correspondence columns of more than one local paper during the last few weeks. It must be remembered, as has been mentioned more than once since this tax was first mooted, that it is not being imposed on a colony enjoying a period of normal commercial prosperity. The \"prosperity\", if so it may be called, of the last two years or so, has been artificially brought about, and no one would care to predict its continuance for any length of time. Our outlook is, at best, uncertain, and the most confirmed optimist cannot pretend that the present state of Far Eastern affairs does not give rise to serious misgivings on our part. Government in these circumstances must do nothing from which may arise a risk to the Colony's future.\n\nI have two other, and these perhaps secondary, objections to income tax. One of them is the strong probability that in a mixed population such as ours, it will be found impossible to administer it equitably, so that while some will bear the full burden of it, others, and they are the vast majority, are so placed as to be in a position easily to escape it. And there is no reason to suppose that they will not avail themselves of this escape. My third objection is the necessity for the creation of a new administrative department, not only because of the cost but because of its inevitable liability to bribery and corruption. I have in the past criticised the Police and Revenue Departments in regard to this. Prosecutions of members of the departments show that I am justified in my criticisms. An Income Tax Department, once created, will quickly earn for itself an unenviable reputation for the same failing.\n\nThese, in brief, Sir, are my objections to this proposed tax, and I have voiced them with the less hesitation because in doing so I am echoing the opinions of business men, men with years of experience in the commerce of this Colony, men who have come into more frequent and closer contact with the Chinese business community than any member of Government has come or can hope to come. Sir, I am convinced that in voting against this measure I am doing, above all, right by our Colony because the Chinese members of this Council, who represent a community without which we could not hope to exist, have expressed themselves strongly against it. When a measure of this kind, and of such vital importance to Hong Kong, meets with opposition from so large and important a section of its population, when that opposition is based, as in this case, not on any unwillingness to contribute towards the cost of the war, but on reasons sincerely advanced, when there are available alternative methods of taxation, expensive and probably more speedy of yield, then, Sir, prudence surely counsels its abandonment.\n\nWe are told, Sir, and we like to believe, that this is a war to make the world safe for democracy. If Government, by use of its official majority were to impose upon this Colony a form of taxation\n\nPage 240\nPage 241",

Grantham)\n\nD. 24th November, 1949 R. 24th\n\nNo. 1264 Secret\n\nIt\n\n13.30 hrs.\n\nAddressed S. of S. Repeated Tamsui No. 428.

This applies to Taiwan and Hainan but not (repeat not) at present to Chinese travellers from China mainland or from Macao although as regards Macau see my telegram No. 1250 in which I have suggested applying restrictions on entry from Macao if shipping companies persist in attempting to evade restrictions upon entry from Taiwan and Hainan by shipping passengers from Hong Kong to Macao.\n\n2. Re arrivals from communist areas arrangements described in my telegram No. 1010 have not yet been enforced since the number of arrivals from those areas is not yet great enough to justify special measures of control. I have noted the approval given in your telegram No. 1333 to these arrangements and they will therefore be enforced as soon as the situation necessitates any restriction.\n\n3. Re Tamsui telegrams to Foreign Office (42) (43) Nos. 194 and 195 I regret the difficulties in which Consul (42) has been placed but as you are aware these measures of control are necessitated solely by the immediate need for restricting immigration into the Colony in view of serious overcrowding which already exists here and the imperative need for preserving the internal security situation. Hong Kong cannot stand any more influx on a significant scale and as Consul especially will be aware Taiwan has very large numbers of refugees from the mainland who will probably want to move on soon at all costs. Hong Kong will be their obvious objective and that must (repeat must) be stopped. In these circumstances, it is not (repeat not) desirable that any special facilities (which would be provided by additional staff) for the issue of visas should be provided. It is fully appreciated here that Consul can only handle a certain limited number of applications each day and that it is entirely satisfactory. It is probable that the \"many Hong Kong residents\" mentioned in paragraph 4 of Tamsui telegram No. 10 to Foreign Office are not in fact true residents. I may perhaps mention that restrictions on entry of...",
