By the Hongkong Ordinance the Governor, at the requisition of a Foreign Consul, has the power, exercicing his own discretion, to suspend the operation of the ordinance as regards Ships of the State which the Consul represents, while by that in New South Wales no steps can be taken by the Magistrate to apprehend deserters, unless the Foreign Consul deems it right to take the initiative and to make a complaint in writing to the Magistrate. It seems therefore that the Foreign Consul of such countries as are represented at Hongkong is vested with less power of interference, than the Consular Officer at New South Wales, and this I think not only desirable on account of the insecurity arising from the peculiar position of Hongkong.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 231449, "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": "CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5]", "page_number": 234, "title": "CO129-036 - Sir Bonham - 1851 [1-5]", "content_text": "Merlin Got\n\nLav- 6245 Hong Kong Lowe b 2.54. 7Aug/51 j def.

PEEL AND THE FOREIGN PRESS. The French papers are much amused with Sir Robert Peel's speech, and give copious extracts from it, together with translations from the comments of the London journals. The Assemblée of Saturday devotes an article of four columns to the matter, but it is only remarkable for the feeble attempts made to translate the Yankee expression \"soft sawder.\" The redacteurs of the Assemblée, who probably put their heads together and consulted their dictionaries, give the result of their learned researches in the following note:-*** It is all soft sawder, an expression more American than English, and one which it is impossible to translate literally, sawder' leans a sawyer who handles his saw lazily, and does but little work. A 'soft sawder' is what, in the language of working people, is called un lambin, un grande iche, une poule mouillée.\" Having by this lexicographical process obtained a choice of epithets, the Assemblée selects lambin as the most appropriate, and nervously in the text of the article it is represented that Sir Robert Peel, instead of saying that the grand duke's frankness and cordiality was all \"soft sawder,\" called him a \"great drené\" (lambin.)\n\nIn the matter of the Asiatic Marine Insurance Office.

He said, \"I do; he owns lot 206.\" I asked him how he knew it, and he said Mr Caldwell had acknowledged himself to be the owner to him, when he had occasion to go to Mr Caldwell on business as Inspector of Nuisances. Inspector Roberts is a member of the Police force, and has made inquiries concerning the Ma-chow Wong branch of the inquiry; he has not done so by my direction, but in the pursuit of his inquiries he has acted upon my advice, as to the mode in which he should conduct them. Precisely the same remark applies to Lyons. I think it would be imprudent in the present stage of inquiry, were I to give the names of others from whom I have sought information regarding the Ma-chow Wong branch of the inquiry.\n\nCross-examined,-I have been on terms of acquaintanceship, but not intimacy, with Mrs Caldwell, since she resided at the Police Station-for about six years back. I went to their house on the occasion of their giving parties, within the last six years, since my family went to England, I may have dined 3 times with them on Christmas days-but not more than 3 times. During the time I was on these terms with Mr and Mrs Caldwell, I believed that she had been taken out of a brothel but by this I do not mean that I believed she was in any way connected with the business of a brothel, but only an inmate of one. Her manners and demeanour, and the management of her household, were always marked by strict propriety of conduct, and were those of a gentlewoman; but the inherent character of the Chinese, derived from education, manners, and custom, are not in my opinion in her, more than in any of her country women, eradicated by her marriage with Mr Caldwell. By inherent character, I mean the making use of position and power to obtain return for services rendered. The inquiries I made, the evidence I have given, and suggestions and advice I have offered, were not prompted by any private motives, but from the desire for the public good-morality was not the subject of my thoughts. I remember in 1851 giving Mr Strachan information, which induced him to write an article in his paper regarding Mr Caldwell's informant, in reference to an attack on the steamer Hongkong. I know that the statement in the article was proved to be untrue. Mr Caldwell wrote a letter to the China Mail on the subject, and I reported that circumstance to the Governor. The result was a written apology from Mr Caldwell to me, relative to his conduct, I have it at home, and can produce it. I thought Ma-chow Wong was the informant; and this was one of the two occasions on which I had a quarrel with Mr Caldwell.\n\nI was officiating as Registrar General and Protector of Chinese for five or six years up to the time that Mr Caldwell was appointed to those offices,-I have never since then expressed a desire to be appointed Registrar General. About eight or nine months ago, when I had a conversation with the Acting Colonial Secretary on the subject of Police, I stated that if it was considered by H. M.'s Government, that it would be for the interest of the public that Mr Caldwell should have the Superintendence of the Police, I would most gladly take the office of the Registrar General; I expressed no wish, but said it rather in irony than otherwise. I did not ask it in the slightest degree as a favour to myself. I did not say that such an arrangement would be the means of putting a stop to any hostility on my part towards, or disputes between, myself and Mr Caldwell, or anything to that effect. I have emphatically disavowed on many occasions, and I believe then, all hostility to Mr Caldwell, and I do so now. I did say that I believed the hatred of Mr Caldwell towards me arising out of Ma-chow Wong's conviction, would never cease, and I say so now. I recollect some three or four years ago having a conversation with Mr Caldwell, in which it was mooted between us, that an arrangement by which he would be Superintendent of Police, and I Registrar General, would be very pleasant.\n\nI have owned houses which were occupied as brothels to my knowledge, but not with my consent. I did all in my power to turn the brothel-keepers out, but was unsuccessful by reason of the then defective state of the law in that respect. I asked additional powers from the Executive, but I received none. This matter was inquired into by the Government at the time, and they expressed their satisfaction with my conduct. I believe, but do not know, that Mr Caldwell refused to increase his salary; I know he applied for an increase, but on reconsideration I think he left the service because he purchased the Eaglet.\n\nFREDERICK WOODS,-Recalled.\n\nReferring to my answer when previously examined, as to whether I had bought land from Mr Caldwell in Taipingshan, I have to state, that I did not purchase land of him, but that I did purchase at auction lots 206, 263, and 264, which were, I believe, Mr Caldwell's property in November last year. The part which I stated as mortgaged remains being paid, and have no reason for supposing I shan't be paid. My grounds for believing that there was a brothel on lot 206, is the fact that every house in Taipingshan is more or less a brothel.\n\nCross-examined,—I believe that Assow and Lum Ateen did come to me before or after-I think after-Mr Caldwell spoke to me of the purchase.\n\n(19)\n\nRe-examined, It was within a fortnight after the Western Market sale [in November last] that I resold one of the shops to a Chinaman through Mr Caldwell. I have sold no more land this year to Mr Caldwell, or through him to a Chinaman. I explicitly told the Colonial Treasurer and Attorney General, that I had not sold any lots to Mr Caldwell this year, either to himself or through him as agent. Mr Caldwell has no interest in any purchase of land by me this year. I had a section of lot 209 which I bought at Public Auction in the latter part of last year. At the time I bought it, it was in the name of Sheik Moosdeen. The section was sold at Public Auction, about a fortnight after the fire, and the transfer was made within a fortnight after that time; it was sold to Achong, the P. & O. comprador. I never heard Mr Caldwell's name in the matter.\n\nLEUNG ATAI,-Called and examined.\n\nI am aware that a relation of mine has lately wished to sell to Mrs Caldwell two shops, numbered, I think, 331 and 332. They were entrusted to me for sale. I first went to Mr May, who could not give me the price I asked. I saw Mr May himself. I do not know a woman called Aoi. Mr May only offered $400 and odd, and I asked upwards of $500. I afterwards went to Sze-kai's shop; Sze-kai asked me where I had been; I said that I had been to Mr May's about the sale of my relation's houses. Sze-kai and I went to my relation, and Sze-kai dealt personally with him, but I was not present. I know that Sze-kai has bought the houses, because I asked my relation when Mr May requested me, and my relation told me they had been sold to Sze-kai's mistress, who is Mrs Caldwell, for $500, of which $400 had been paid, and the remainder was to be paid when the ground lease was divided. This was about ten days ago.\n\nCross-examined,-I went to the Central Police Station to see Mr May; I was never offered $420 or any other sum by a Chinese woman in European clothes or any other female for the houses. When Mr May saw the houses, he said they were old and broken down, and not worth so much. I do not know whether Mr May wanted to buy the houses for himself, or as agent for any one. My relation is called Tong Achew, and lives a little way below the Police Station.\n\nMARIA,-Called and examined.\n\nThree doors from my house there is a house which formerly belonged to Mr Caldwell, and which I heard was sold in the middle of last year. On the 19th April, I paid the ground rent to Lum Ateen. When Mr Richaecker was here I paid the ground rent to him; afterwards for about two years to Mr Caldwell; and the last six months rent to Lum Ateen. Lum Ateen came to me for the ground rent about the beginning of February last, when I said I had not the money. I think that my house is Number 72 or 76, but I am not sure. The reason I pay ground rent to Lum Ateen is, that my house is in the same lot with his, that he has more ground than I, and that he collects it. In October or November last, Mr Caldwell and Ateen told me, that Ateen had purchased them, and that I was to pay the rent to him. I told Mr May that the shops formerly belonged to Mr Caldwell. Mr May's question was, \"Are these houses Mr Caldwell's;\" I said \"Yes,\" and he then went away. When I said this to Mr May, I did not recollect that Ateen had come for the rents. Lum Ateen gave me the receipt, and he is the landlord; Lum Ateen came to my house for the rent. About April or May 1857, Mr Caldwell was going to sell all his houses; and I went to him and asked him to sell me one of them, and he told me that he would only sell them all together. Mr Caldwell never wanted to buy from me.\n\nAdjourned till Noon, 9th June.\n\nSEVENTH DAY.\n\nWednesday, 9th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon.\n\nPresent,-All the Members.\n\nOn the termination of the proceedings on the 7th instant, the Hon'ble the Attorney General handed in a letter of protest, against the manner of taking the evidence of the Chinese, as being wholly favourable to Mr Caldwell.\n\nFrom this opinion of the Honorable the Attorney General the Commission entirely dissent.\n\n[Mak Afook's account books of rents received produced.]\n\nJ. MONGAN, Assistant Chinese Secretary,--Called and examined.\n\nThere is no entry in either of these books from which it may appear upon whose account the rents have been collected.\n\nMAK AFOOK,-Called and examined,\n\nThe rents of which there are entries in this book are in respect of the 22 houses, and of one of the other three.\n\nLUM ATEEN, Recalled.\n\n[Produces five documents in Chinese: being copies of ground leases and mesne assignments, and also the receipt of the Colonial Treasurer for £2.2s.5d. received on the 26th February 1858, from Mr Caldwell, on account of Chew Alai, in respect of lots 238, C, 240, and 250; also, like receipt on the same date for £8.14s.7d. from Mr Caldwell on account of Lum Ateen, in respect of lots 179, 241 B, 241 C, 242 B, and 262, also of receipt on the 15th December 1857 by F.

The following items are from the Japan Times:—\n\nWe are still unable to give the name of the new port on the West coast. We are glad to find that our fear that Tsurunga would be chosen was unfounded; the foreign Ministers have expressed themselves strongly against it. The Serpent, one of H.B.M.'s surveying ships, is now engaged examining all the apparently eligible harbours on the West coast, and some weeks must necessarily elapse before Captain Bullock can make his report.\n\nOur news from Osaka are by no means satisfactory; they augur anything but ease for the Shingoon and peace for the empire. Consequently, unless existing difficulties can be previously arranged, we cannot anticipate much advantage for ourselves when the ports are opened next year. The combination of Daimios against the Shiogoon, to which we alluded last mail, we have now ascertained to be an actual and threatening reality. They very naturally object to the extension of a trade in which they have no share, and the profits from which only strengthen an able and dangerous rival, whom they shrewdly suspect of a design to become their absolute master.\n\nIt appears that Osaka not being strictly his own port, the Shiogoon, by taking the responsibility of promising that it shall be opened in 1868, has so far committed himself that the Daimios opposed to him have just ground of complaint that they had not been previously consulted. They carefully avoided giving him any opportunity of consulting them, it must be remarked, by steadily refusing to attend the conference which he has repeatedly endeavoured to assemble for the purpose. They declare that Osaka shall not be opened, unless foreign trade is also permitted at certain points in their own dominions, and Satsuma, Chiosiu, Echizen, Tosa, and Kanga have declared that if Osaka be opened in 1868, they will themselves invite foreigners to trade at their own ports. It is difficult to say how this can be prevented with any show of right, and very easy to see that much evil will result from the fulfilment of their threat. Subjects of Powers having treaties with the Shiogoon can be punished for trading at any of his ports not opened by those treaties, but at ports out of his territory, and where his authority is not acknowledged, we can see nothing to prevent traders doing whatever business they can, particularly when specially invited by the Sovereign of that country.\n\nOn the other hand, foreign Powers will certainly never make a number of separate treaties with these individual Daimios, and, consequently, foreign traders repairing to their ports would have to do so on their own responsibility, and would be without the inestimable advantage of consular protection. Probably business trade, by means of coasting vessels, supercargos, and receiving ships, a system the evils and inconveniences of which are manifest. The development of the Japan trade has been so...\n\n#### PASSENGERS OUTWARD.\n\nPer P. and O. steamer Euxine, from Southampton, August 4-To Shanghai: Mrs. Algernon Wright and child.

This despatch was sent to F.O.\n\nAnd apart there follows the memorandum\n\nSir Thos. Wade No. 4. A\n\nIf I'ie Julian Pauncefote\n\n20.5.\n\nMeanwhile the complaints from the junk trade appear to have ceased. M. Hennessy attributes this to energetic action, in enforcing a local law, originally aimed at piracy, which subjects to forfeiture junk & cargo that enters the harbour without the harbour master's clearance; & alleges that his action has driven the smugglers into legitimate trade.\n\nIt might be answered that the complaint has always been that the legitimate traders were the people who suffered & cried out. But the cessation of complaints may be due to other reasons. I attribute greater probability to two of Chinese origin. First, at the time (9/76) the Superintendents at Canton was changed, & the present officer is reported to be less grasping than his predecessor. Secondly, that the matter having become a question of international diplomatic action by its being mentioned at Chefoo by Sir Thomas Wade, the new Superintendent may have had a hint from Pekin to be moderate in his demands, while the subject is still open to be discussed by the proposed Commission.\n\nThe F.O. have not been informed that Lowe has declined to sustain the proposals (12745) of Carnarvon to forbid junks to unload in our waters if they fail to produce a Chinese Clearance; and it is difficult to formally accept the same proposition. On its merits it is a clear departure from the usual rule, that nations do not recognise or carry out the fiscal resolutions of their neighbours; & goes much farther than the Gibraltar scheme which was given up last year in consequence of the opposition it created. If adopted it would raise a tremendous outcry in the Colony, not to mention in Parliament also.\n\nI would suggest that Hennessy's despatch be sent to F.O. as it is, with an intimation that Sir Thomas Wade does not feel bound by any other solution than the extension of the Tonigue harbour factory originates.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-183 - Public Offices & Others - 1878.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303749, "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": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 341, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "## GENTLEMEN\n\nAlford, E. \nAlford, R.

Vega, His Excellency Major-General Donovan and Mrs. Donovan, Chief Justice Sir John Smale and Lady Smale, Commodore Smith, R.N., Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh, Mrs. Pollock, Hon. J. Russell, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. M. S. Tonnochy, Colonel and Mrs. Geddes (27th Inniskillings), Surgeon-Major Max Grant, Mr. and Mrs. Taro Ando, Mr. F. D. Sassoon, Lieut. Bove (Vega), Dr. Almquist (Vega), Lieut. Nordquist (Vega), Lieut. Hovgaard (Vega), Dr. Stuxberg (Vega), Lieut. Drummond, A.D.C. to the General, and Mr. C. V. Creagh, Acting A.D.C. to the Governor.\n\nThe following, to whom invitations had been sent, were unable to attend -- Right Rev. Bishop and Mrs. Burdon, Right Rev. Bishop Raimondi, Hon. W. Keswick, and Col., Mrs., and Miss Hall. The band of the 27th Regiment was in attendance and played the following selection, under the direction of Herr Werner, bandmaster: Overture... \"Fra Diavolo\" Auber, Polka \"O Katchke\" Stasey, \"Swedish Air\" Anon., Selection \"Beatrice di Tenda\" Bellini, Valse \"First Roses\" Werner, Jun., Reminiscences of Ireland... Godfrey.\n\nAt the close of the dinner His Excellency the Governor proposed the toast of \"The Queen,\" which was most loyally received, the band playing the National Anthem.\n\nImmediately afterwards His Excellency rose and said- Professor Nordenskiöld: In the name of my Sovereign, Queen Victoria, I have the honour to welcome you and your companions to Her Majesty's dominions.\n\nSix centuries ago Marco Polo came from Europe to China. Two centuries later, the Portuguese crossed the Indian Ocean, entered these seas, and landed within a few miles of this Island, and subsequently the direct voyage across the Pacific was undertaken. The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.\n\nThis toast was duly honoured.\n\n## Reception\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy held an \"at home\" and a brilliant and numerously attended reception after dinner, in honour of their distinguished guests.

The charts were Russian ones, and one of the minor results of the expedition has been the establishment of the fact that they are not accurate, inasmuch as a great deal that was put down as land was actually sailed over by the Vega. The route was marked in red ink and pencil and showed these inaccuracies. Some specimens of the plants from the region where the Vega was so long bound up in the ice and photographs of the natives were also on the drawing-room tables.\n\nAfter the party Captain Palander went on board the Vega, but Professor Nordenskiöld did not embark till half-past eight yesterday morning. Governor Hennessy accompanied the Professor from Government House. The illustrious guest embarked for the Vega on the Government barge, and the vessel steamed out of harbour by the Ly-en-moon Pass shortly after nine o'clock. We understand Professor Nordenskiöld, before his departure, received from His Excellency, as a present to the Vega expedition, an herbarium of the plants of Hongkong and South China, prepared by Mr. Ford, the Head of the Botanical Department of the Colony.\n\n530", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-185 - Acting Governor Marsh Governor Hennessy - 1879 [6-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 304678, "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": "CO129-185 - Acting Governor Marsh Governor Hennessy - 1879 [6-12]", "page_number": 619, "title": "CO129-185 - Acting Governor Marsh Governor Hennessy - 1879 [6-12]", "content_text": "## of Hong Kong Institing \n\nJon in his opening stated that negotiations might be opened.

The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of departure and despatching the correspondence.\n\nIt is requested that the letters be posted if possible at least one day before the date fixed for sailing.\n\nTEA MUSTERS.\n\nPersons who send Mustard of Tea through the Post in this country are requested to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is quite impossible to pack round tins securely in the mail bags.\n\nPrinted and Published by N.

He was Kao Chin's chief hanger-on and sharper; and he was consulted in any business Kao Chin had for destroying or ruining anyone; he settled the matter, and no mistakes then ensued. Hence Kao Chin was much pleased with him and wanted to promote him to be a Sub-Prefect, but he refused all office and only lived in Kao Chin's mansion, where he contrived to get plenty of scrapings and to get his living off fraudulent squeezes. Kao Chin never would let him go, and all in the capital feared him; he was called the prickly hedgehog. He had now returned from performing, at the instance of Kao Chin, some public business, but as it was night he could not enter the mansion. The two brothers thus met at night and talked about the hots and colds (various things that had happened). San Ching asked what had been going on at H. E. San Kao said, \"No very important affair, only today I have got, for the son, a little girl both obedient and sprightly who will soon be his, and he must thank me not a little for it.\" San Ching said, \"Whose family does she belong to?\" and his brother then told him the whole affair about Hai-chen from beginning to end. Sun Ching shook his head when he heard it, and said, \"Don't be pleased in such a hurry, there is bound to be some deceit here; it is only a device for delay.\" San Kao gave a grunt, and said, \"I never guessed there could be such a plan, perhaps he intends his daughter to commit some violent deed.\" San Ching said, \"She won't injure anyone, only fly off as far as she can go; you are exerting yourself to no purpose; and will be well laughed at for your gains; wait till I have seen Kao Chin to-morrow, and criticized the affair. I will then have ready another plan and so clip their wings that these people will be unable to fly off. You are drunk now; go off and sleep; to-morrow I will talk with you.\n\n## A CHINESE PRIMER\n\n\"Frensch eche spak ful faire and fetysly After the anuy of Stratford atte Bowe. For Frensch of Parys was to hire unknowe.\"\n\nCHAUCER.\n\nIt would doubtless be very interesting to students of the nineteenth century, to be able to peruse the old-world hand-books, the manuscripts written in crabbed monkish Latin, by the aid of which Chaucer's dainty nun endeavoured to acquire a knowledge of superfine French. Failing this, however, it may be permitted us to doubt whether, in spite of all the intellectual progress which has marked the flight of time, we have improved to any very great extent the methods used by our ancestors in learning a tongue other than our own. The kindly sarcasm of the poet is as true and as pertinent in our day as when five centuries since he let fly the light shafts of wit, at \"the scole of Stratford atte Bowe,\" where religious candidates received the needful polish which was to fit them for their profession. They learned indeed to speak French, but it is very evident that they would have been sorely at a loss to make themselves understood in Paris. The poet's keen perception divined that the art of speaking a language can only be successfully acquired amongst those who use it as their mother tongue. Schools and colleges, books and tutors may help the student to read, and even write in a measure, any language under the sun, but he who expects in addition to speak intelligibly as the result of a systematic study of tones and forms, and artificial combinations, instead of getting saturated with the living tongue of the people, is only preparing disappointment for himself. I recall an old Peninsula veteran who used to tell of his pride as a youngster, when going to Spain, in the fact that he could read Don Quixote in the original with tolerable ease. His first attempt, however, at ordering dinner for his party in the vernacular resulted in his receiving the humiliating rejoinder from the mystified attendant, \"Will the Señor be good enough to speak English? I do not understand Italian!\"\n\nThese reflections have been occasioned by the contrast exhibited between one of the first, and the latest contribution towards the study of Chinese generally, and of Cantonese in particular, which now lie before us—the one the well-known Chrestomathy of Dr. Bridgman, 1841; the other `A Chinese Primer` by Dr. Burdon, 1877.* During the six and thirty intervening years we remember but few works of this kind which have made their appearance, and of these some are now out of print, e.g., Dr. Williams's `Easy Lessons` 1842 and `Beginner's First Book` 1847. Dr. Dyer's `Student's First Assistant`, followed by the Rev. W. Lobscheid's `Grammar` 1864, also a small volume of `Easy Sentences for Beginners`, and latterly by Dr. Dennys's `Handbook of the Canton Vernacular` 1874, are the principal of these which remain, and doubtless familiar in some measure to all who have tried to learn Punti. They all have this in common, that they profess to be intended to be placed in a student's hand as first books. Dr. Dyer's aim was to furnish a stock of words, arranged under different headings so as to be easily found, beginning with nouns, apportioned to their proper categories, and then in succession lists of the different parts of speech, each section being followed by illustrative sentences. In fact, a Primer, grammar, and vocabulary in one—the whole exceedingly cumbersome and ineffective, recalling those continental conversation books, in which the particular phrase wanted at the moment was never to be found. Mr. Lobscheid's `Grammar` in two parts, whilst containing a large amount of valuable information both as to classic and vernacular, presents it in so chaotic a condition and so intermixed with crude theories on irrelevant matters as materially to interfere with its usefulness. It recalls vividly the eccentric author's manner of advising newcomers to carry about notebook and pencil and ever to be on the look-out for contributions towards a Grammar of Chinese. The `Handbook` of Dr. Dennys follows the plan of the `Chrestomathy` in giving a large repertoire of well-chosen sentences, but purposely gives the Grammatical information in detached yet consecutive fragments, possibly with a view to its easy assimilation by tyros, but most painfully reminding anyone wishing to consult it, of a child's dissected puzzle. The `Chrestomathy` aimed at teaching classic Chinese systematically and progressively through the medium of the Canton Dialect. These later works aim rather at teaching the dialect as an introduction to the mandarin.\n\nIn this, I think they are right. The student who has first acquired the power of freely conversing with his teacher in the vernacular will find his progress much facilitated in mastering the terse style of mandarin or classic. Still, I must confess that there seems to me to be room for a more systematic work on the study of Chinese than any yet published, leading gradually up to the classic through and by means of the vernacular, yet keeping them both quite distinct—a manual which shall provide a sufficiency of thoroughly native sentences.\n\n* `A Chinese Primer`.

Sir George Phillippo, Chief Justice, presided, and was supported by the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. M. Price, Hon. F. B. Johnson, Messrs. T. Jackson, C. P. Chater, W. Reiners, A. G. Romano, W. H. Forbes, F. D. Sassoon, H. N. Mody, D. Ruttunjee, and Ho Kai. Among the other gentlemen present were the Hon. J. Russell, Hon. A. Lister, Hon. F. Stewart, Dr. Ph. B. C. Ayres, A. P. MacEwen, I. Poesnecker, A. Gultzow, J. Lapraik, C. D. Bottomley, H. L. Dalrymple, Douglas Jones, J. Thorburn, F. H. Arjuna, J. P. McEuen, R. Lyall, J. S. Cox, J. A. Mosely, H. J. H. Tripp, A. B. Johnson, J. J. Francis, E. C. Wilcox, J. Grant, J. G. Smith, D. E. Caldwell, A. K. Travers, A. E. Vaucher, H. A. Woolnough, W. Doulau, &c., &c. A large number of the most influential Chinese residents were also present, among whom we noticed Messrs. Leong On, Wei Yak, Lee Sing, Lee Tak Cheong, Ho Mei, Wong Shing, Chan Quan Ei, &c., &c. \n\nThe CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by saying-Gentlemen, I was asked by some of the leading members of the community a few days ago to take the chair upon this occasion; and I was only too happy to consent to do so, the objects of the meeting having my warmest sympathy. Before proceeding with the business of the meeting, however, I think it would be advisable that we should appoint a Secretary to take down the minutes of the proceedings, so that a proper record may be preserved, and that before we proceed with the business, we should ask him to read the notice calling the meeting. I would therefore suggest that Mr. MacEwen be appointed Secretary-(Applause)-and then we will ask him to read the notice and proceed to business. \n\nMr. A. P. MacEWEN-I shall have very much pleasure in acting as Secretary on this occasion; but I may mention that Mr. George had kindly consented to act as Secretary only unfortunately he has gone to Macao to-day, and will not be back till Monday. \n\nMr. MACEWEN then proceeded to read the notice convening the meeting. \n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, you have now heard the notice read convening the meeting and the objects for which it is to take place. It is called for the purpose, as you have heard, of discussing the question as to whether or not a memorial should be erected to the memory of the late Sir Arthur Kennedy, and to decide, if that be the general opinion of the meeting, what form that memorial shall assume. It will be within your recollection, gentlemen, that within the last few days we received the sad news of Sir Arthur's death-news which reached us under peculiarly affecting circumstances. Sir Arthur Kennedy, at the close of a long career spent in the public service, had at last retired in order to enjoy some period of rest at the close of his life; and you know, gentlemen, that after leaving Queensland and before arriving at Aden he died--about 100 miles this side of Aden-without ever reaching that rest to which he had looked forward. Those circumstances render his death a very touching one; and to us, who knew him so well, it is the more deeply so. We all of us, I believe, remember him with feelings of esteem and affection. It was shortly after I came up from the Straits Settlements I learned, much to my disappointment, that Sir Arthur Kennedy was then leaving. His parting with us occurred within these walls, and many of you were present on that occasion. Those who were present at the farewell banquet given to him will well remember the feelings with which we then parted with Sir Arthur Kennedy on his leaving us to assume the Government of Queensland. Those feelings, I believe, have not been lessened, but on the contrary, notwithstanding his absence, have remained firm; and I feel sure there are many still amongst us who feel for him the same feelings of attachment which were given vent to him. In my own experience, I know of many who were brought forward by Sir Arthur Kennedy simply for their devotion to the public service, and many of whom are now fulfilling important duties not only in the colonies, but even in the mother country itself. With regard to the general community I think I may safely say that Sir Arthur Kennedy endeared himself to all. He was always ready to see anybody and always ready to discuss any question of private or political importance. He was always ready to give an answer to any question that was laid before him, and when you got an answer from Sir Arthur Kennedy, you might rely upon it he meant what he said (Applause). Gentlemen, these qualities in a Governor are qualities which are, in my opinion, more to be desired than even the most brilliant intellect (Applause). In saying these few words with regard to Sir Arthur Kennedy, it is with no desire on my part to pronounce an eulogium upon his conduct or character. Gentlemen, in this Colony no eulogium is required. The presence of so numerous an assembly shows full well that you all appreciated him; and I must say this, that I think your presence here to-day reflects honour upon yourselves as well as upon the Governor whose death was so deeply lamented, because it shows that in this community at all events public and private virtues are appreciated. It is some years now since I first made the acquaintance of Sir Arthur Kennedy. I joined him first on the West Coast of Africa as Queen's Advocate, and for some time I was intimately connected with him in all concerns of a public nature. I cannot speak so much of his conduct here from personal experience, because I was with him for so short a time, but during the period I served with him as Queen's Advocate on the West Coast of Africa I will say this, that no man could have more conscientiously performed his public duties than Sir Arthur Kennedy did (Applause). I followed in his footsteps some time afterwards and went to the colony of British Columbia. There I heard on all sides the same account of Sir Arthur's services. Whilst he was Governor here, I once or twice met him as he was passing through the Straits Settlements; the last time I met him, I am sorry to say, was just after he had heard the news of Lady Kennedy's death, which, as you all know, occurred while he was Governor of this colony. Sir Arthur, I believe, was never the same man afterwards. I came up here only to find, as I said before, that he was leaving this colony for Queensland. Now, with regard to Sir Arthur's character and so forth, it is not for me to discuss it; questions of politics would be out of place so far as I am concerned, but nevertheless, gentlemen, I think you will all agree with me that Sir Arthur Kennedy was a fine old English or Irish gentleman of the old school-the terms are synonymous-and that he performed his duties to the best of his ability, and with a conscientious desire to do what he considered right to all sections of the community without favour or distinction (Applause). That is the character he has acquired in every part of the world where I have known anything of him. With regard to the members of the Civil Service, I can appeal to those present in this room, and I can say that with regard to them Sir Arthur Kennedy was invariably just and straightforward (Applause). He always gave every man the credit of doing what he considered best for the public good, if he (Sir Arthur Kennedy) believed that he did so. Otherwise, if he found that anybody was endeavouring to shirk his duty in the service, he had, as I myself know, sometimes rather a hard time of it. With regard to the civil servants of this colony, Sir Arthur Kennedy told me before I came up here that there was, he believed, as able a set of civil servants in Hongkong as there was in any part of Her Majesty's dominions (applause) and that he found from experience he was quite able to leave a great many things to them which would have been spoiled by his unnecessarily interfering. These same remarks Sir Arthur Kennedy repeated when he was leaving this Colony, at the banquet which I have referred to. You all remember what he then said-\"If I have been able to effect any good in the public service, I owe it to the gentlemen by whom I was surrounded and who have so ably assisted me.\" Well, gentlemen, I think, speaking for the public service generally, that all those who performed their duty to the public invariably found a lead in Sir Arthur Kennedy, and that is one great reason why the members of the Civil Service were all so much attached to him.\n\nPage 367\n\n171", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-210 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323130, "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": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "page_number": 487, "title": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "content_text": "under almost equally hazardous circumstances, from the houses destroyed or looted, several had but a few garments hastily thrown on, but happily all got on board the steamers safely. One lady who arrived by the steamer Kiungchow yesterday morning with an infant only a few weeks old was simply in her dressing gown and the child in its night clothes. Another lady was in her bath when the alarm was given, and she also had only time to slip on a dressing gown. The Rev. J. Grundy had arrived from up-country early the same morning, and having had his things taken up to the house, went across to the London Mission to visit his friends there. The mob arrived in the meantime, and while Mr. Grundy was assisting the ladies of the London Mission to the steamer, his own house was fired, and he came down to Hongkong yesterday with nothing but the clothes he stood in. The only case of injury to the person of any European we have heard of was that of Mr. Sobruyter, shipping clerk to Messrs. Siemssen & Co. at Canton, who received some small shot wounds, which are believed to have been fired by one of the Chinese troops, who are said to have been more in sympathy with the rabble than with the Europeans. There is a strong feeling among the sufferers that they have not been fairly treated by the British authorities in leaving them utterly unprotected after the uneasiness caused by the late fatal shooting affair.\n\nAfter the Settlement was cleared, the Chinese troops arrived in great number, and formed a large camp on the Bund. The residents also formed a defence corps in the evening, which divided into three to take alternate watches of three hours each in patrolling the place. On Shameen everything remained quiet afterwards until the Honam left yesterday morning.\n\nThe steamer Kiung-Chow was sent down by the British Consul about half-past two on Monday afternoon with a hurried letter to the Commodore asking for assistance, the telegraph unfortunately not being available owing to the wires having been blown down by the high wind. The Commodore promptly responded by despatching the gunboats Swift and Espoir, which left here at half-past eight yesterday morning. The force of marines on board the Victor Emanuel was put on board the gunboats so as to increase the strength of the men. Yesterday afternoon the French gunboat Lulin also left here for Canton.\n\nIn stating in our extra yesterday morning that Messrs. Russell & Co.'s premises had been destroyed by fire, we were misinformed. The house was looted, and the Chinese were pouring kerosine on the floor to burn it when the force of residents just came up in time to stop them, seizing a man in flagrante delicto. The list of houses burnt includes the Concordia Club, entirely destroyed. Mr. Reid's bungalow, the premises of the London Mission. Messrs. Pustau & Co.'s premises, Messrs. Thomas, Smith, Rowe & Co.'s junior mess, Rev. J. Grundy's house, Dr. Wales's house, the newly started ice house and Mr. Raven's residence, Mr. Rooler's premises, those of Mr. W. A. F. Sanders, Mr. Lamont, Mr. Remusit's the Old Pustau Hong, the Engine House and Police Station, the Silk Condition House, and the house of Mr. Holwill, Deputy Commissioner of Customs. The houses of Capt. Drewes, and Mr. Ganther, the Harbour Master, were also stripped. The old Club House was destroyed, and both steamer wharves.\n\nThe Honam, Captain Benning, arrived here at about three in the afternoon, and hence we have obtained much additional information. On the way up to Canton, Capt. Benning informs us, he met the Kiungchow, and learned from Capt. Goggin something of the state of affairs at Canton, and in consequence he anchored his boat off Shameen. At the time he arrived the thirteen houses which the incendiaries had ignited were still blazing, but the riot on Shameen was of course at an end. The rabble about the place appeared to have been a riot of boys and roughs to which he thinks no political importance is to be attached. The steamer brought down about thirty Europeans who have been burned out of house and home, or who were otherwise bound to this colony, besides some 900 Chinese passengers, and about the usual cargo. While the vessel was lying off Shameen, she was largely used by the refugees from shore—the ladies and children, who were removed from the Ningpo. At the time she left there were large numbers of Chinese troops on Shameen, which was also being patrolled by the Europeans. The roughs were cleared out, and confidence was so far restored that most of those who had a home to go to went back. Capt. Benning tells us that Mr. Masters and his family took refuge in a Chinese house during the outbreak, where they were kept concealed, and afterwards came on board the Honam.\n\nOn board the Honam we were favoured with the following particulars from a gentleman who resided on Dutch Folly, and who has been deprived of his home, so that he and his family have been driven here for shelter. At about eleven on Monday morning this gentleman's cook gave notice in the house that there was a Chinese disturbance at the Hongkong steamer wharf, and that they were in danger of being attacked. Capt. Calder of the Chinese Imperial Customs, who lived in the same place, sent a boat off to the house shortly after, and two boats to the Presbyterian Mission House, to take all the families on board the Ningpo. They went on board, and from thence went to the Honam. About six Chinese gunboats arrived off Shameen, and lay there during the day. He heard it stated that when Capt. Ogston refused to give up the Portuguese watchman, the crowd threatened to burn the steamer if the demand was not complied with, and they attempted to do so. When the steamer was got out of their reach, they made an effort to discover who the agent was, and finding Messrs. Russell & Co. were the agents, they made for the premises of that firm, but on reaching Shameen attacked the houses they came to indiscriminately.\n\nAnother passenger by the Honam, a gentleman named Monteith, who is on his way to Calcutta, also favoured us with some particulars. This gentleman first heard of the affair by seeing the corpse of the dead Chinaman when he went on board the Hankow at about 9.25 am, on Monday, and he was told the man had been pushed overboard at about five o'clock by someone on board the steamer. Immediately after this a crowd assembled on the wharf and commenced throwing brickbats at the steamer, and Mr. Monteith was advised by the officers to go to the upper part of the steamer for safety. He did not see the Chinese attempt to set fire to the steamer but as soon as it was taken out of their reach they fired the wharf, and it was destroyed very quickly. The steamer went off Shameen, and the next thing he noticed was a heavy smoke, and he was told that the ice house had been fired. After ten o'clock he could see there was evidently cause for alarm in the Settlement, for the...\n\nPage 481", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323132, "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": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "page_number": 489, "title": "CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9]", "content_text": "Viceroy for aid, and he called upon the few Chinese troops who had been sent to drive off the mob in very strong terms, charging them with cowardice. After this time the Viceroy sent a large number of troops, which filled up the point, and kept the mob out of the place. I counted eleven houses destroyed by fire, but I am told there are thirteen, besides four others only looted. There could be no efforts made to check the flames. There were no engines, for the Chinese burnt down the engine house and destroyed the engines.\n\nAt five o'clock a meeting of the residents was held at the Canton Club, Mr. Daval, the president of the Club, being appointed Chairman, to take into consideration measures for the defence of the Settlement. Herr Von Ketler, the German Vice-Consul, was appointed the commander of the residents' forces, as he had seen some active service as a German officer and was the only one who had seen real service. There were three officers under him, viz., Mr. Von Pustau, Mr. Rocher, and Mr. Dunt, who had command each of a division, and these divisions took alternate watches of three hours each for patrolling the Settlement from nine o'clock.\n\nI was in the first watch, that of Mr. Von Pustau, and everything was quiet all the night through on Shameen, but while I was on duty I heard firing going on somewhere in the city, the cause of which I do not know. During Monday a great number of Chinese troops arrived in the Settlement, and at nine o'clock in the evening many Chinese gunboats arrived and placed themselves round Shameen, whilst watch boats kept any mob from crossing the creek. The camp of the troops was pitched upon the Bund, which they almost filled.\n\nThe next morning a feeling of security succeeded to the anxiety which prevailed before, and the ladies and children came ashore to their houses; some whose houses were burned came on to Hongkong by the Honam, whilst others will come on to-morrow. I don't think Mr. Sebruynter is seriously hurt. He was wounded with small shot, being struck on the forehead, the back of the head, the left arm, right wrist, and stomach. There were no medical instruments available to extract the shots, all having been destroyed, but the doctor thinks the wounds are not serious.\n\nI was with him before leaving, and he appeared to be pretty well, and was about writing a lot of correspondence for the mail. It is believed that the shots were fired by a Chinese soldier. The Chinese soldiers seemed to take a lively interest in the welfare of the mob on Shameen, and they let all of them escape. The only ones captured were seven we seized, four of whom made good their escape, whilst the other three made some escapes and were re-captured.\n\nThere is a strong feeling in the settlement that if there had been an English gunboat there, the whole damage might have been prevented. As we were on the way down we met the gunboat Swift on the way to Canton, she was going at a very great rate. The Espoir we saw taking shelter from the weather.\n\nMr. Brocklemann, of the firm of Messrs. Pustau & Co., gave us later on a very complete description of the affair, but as it travels over the same ground as the preceding narrative, and corroborates it, we will only give that part referring to what occurred while Mr. Schwemann was on board the Hankow, and such extra particulars as he gave.\n\nMr. Brocklemann said: Just before half-past eight this morning, Mr. Raven, of the Ice House, who lives in the same building as I do, called to me over the banister as I was dressing that he had just heard from his compradore that a Chinaman had been kicked overboard from the Hankow and drowned at 5.30, and that a Chinese mob had assembled, being then engaged in firing the Custom House. I went to the verandah and saw the smoke rising from the two steamer wharves, which were then on fire.\n\nI went downstairs at 8.40, and then saw the first Chinese crossing the bridge into Shameen. We wanted to look after some books in the house, but as there were some ladies in the next house who needed protection, three of us got together, one with a cane, another with a dagger, and another with a revolver, and tried to drive the crowd back on the front row.\n\nThere were about a hundred men there then, but we succeeded for a short time, and then we went to the middle row, keeping near our own place, and the crowd was soon increased to 250 men, as they came pouring over the bridge, the gates of which they had opened. They drove us back for a bit, and this kind of thing kept on till about 9.30, when some 50 Chinese soldiers came across the bridge which leads from the city to the middle of the Settlement.\n\nOf these 25 stayed on the bridge to prevent any more Chinese from coming over, and 25 more came on to Shameen. However, they were a wretched lot, miserably armed, and were utterly afraid to attack the mob. They seemed to have no leader and would do nothing without the co-operation of the Europeans. They just followed us about, and did nothing, the only good being the guarding of the bridge.\n\nWe took some of their bamboo spears away from them, and found them useful to use ourselves, as revolvers and small things were of no use with the crowd. The few Europeans drove back the mob three or four times, and if we had had any support from the Chinese soldiers we could have kept them back, but we were unsupported, and the soldiers were firing behind us, and so we retreated, and the crowd chased us to the middle of the Settlement.\n\nThey then broke into the house of Messrs. Thomas, Rowe, and Smith, and though they looted it, they did not at that time set fire to it. The Consuls warned us not to shoot any of the natives, and we heeded the caution. Mr. Brocklemann here went on to deal with the banding together of the residents armed with the weapons supplied by Mr. Butler, and their successful attack on the crowd.\n\nHe said that from 8.30 a.m. the Consuls had sent to the Chinese authorities for assistance, and had received word back that there were 200 to 300 men on the other side of the creek who did not dare to pass over unless they had support from the Shameen side, and so Mr. Mollendorf arranged this party of attack.\n\nMessrs. Thomas, Rowe, and Smith's premises were the first fired on Shameen, this being done at ten a.m., and the outbreaks followed quickly. The crowd, according to this gentleman's computation, numbered about 700 at this time. The Consuls had a consultation at three o'clock as to whether the Hankow was to be kept at Canton or sent to Hongkong, and they decided it would be well for it to remain until the drowned Chinaman was removed, and that the Portuguese watchman charged with causing his death should not then be taken away for fear of further inflaming the mob.\n\nMr. Brocklemann said he saw the bodies of three Chinese killed by firing, which went on pretty briskly after the decision to resist the mob by force, and he understands that about 20 dead bodies were carried off by the mob.\n\nANOTHER ACCOUNT,\n\nEarly in the morning some of the foreigners were informed by their servants that a Chinaman had been kicked to death by a watchman on the Hankow and that there was a disturbance, but no particular alarm was felt at the time. Soon after eight o'clock, however, the mob appeared off Shameen, but the constable stationed at the bridge kept the gate closed and refused to allow them to pass.\n\nMr. Woodruff, the Commissioner of Customs, left his house in his chair with the intention of passing through the crowd to the Custom House, but on reaching the gate he saw that it would be unsafe to go on. As things were then looking very threatening, the ladies at the London Mission House were taken on board the Ningpo, which was lying off the Concession.\n\nOn seeing this party passing towards the water the mob set up a yell and began throwing stones, but fortunately none of the missiles reached far enough to do any injury, and the party got safely off. By this time the alarm had become general, and the other ladies and children were taken off to the steamer. Few if any waited to pack up their clothes, but went off simply with those they had on at the time.\n\nMeanwhile the crowd, which had been increasing in numbers and violence, burst open the gate and swarmed on to the Concession. Had there been any organised and properly armed guard at that time, however small, it is thought the Chinese would not have ventured to cross. There being nothing of the kind to deter them they rushed on...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-211 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [8-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 323535, "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": "CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11]", "page_number": 343, "title": "CO129-212 - Governor Sir Bowen - 1883 [10-11]", "content_text": "338\n\nHaykay hellers Palent\n\nwith regard to the tempnay administraten\n\nof the swemment in the Absent of\n\nand\n\n9\n\nthe Govenier\n\nThausbau.\n\nthe Colonial berclay, it would reeen\n\nA desciall Keat it should devolve in\n\nnext place upon the Dance Opier commanding\n\nIf it\n\nfo Ar\n\ndifficulty in & I would wake this concession\n\nthe troops. there is no\n\nranging, when S.

Opium is a British product;\n\n(2.)

Such a rule will hurt no existing interest; will defend British vessels and traders against the unfair competition of outsiders and new-comers; is quite within the power of the British Government to enact and enforce; and is an absolutely necessary assistance or co-operation which China looks for from England in order to the proper working of the international compact contained in the Opium Additional Article.\n\nOctober 31, 1885.\n\nR. H.\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 51.\n\n(Extract.)\n\nLord Palmerston to Sir H. Pottinger.\n\nForeign Office, May 31, 1841. IT is understood that the Chinese Government has consented to cede the Island of Hong Kong to Great Britain; and that island is supposed to be in many respects well qualified to become a commercial station of some importance for our trade with China.\n\nHer Majesty's Government have reason to suppose that Hong Kong has been ceded with the condition that British and other foreign merchandise imported into Hong Kong should there pay to Chinese Custom-house officers the usual and established import duties which such goods would pay on being imported into China, and that such duties having been so paid, and the merchandise being duly stamped by the Chinese Custom-house officers at Hong Kong, there should be full liberty to all persons to carry such merchandise away to any port in China without its being liable to any further payment in such ports or elsewhere on account of import duty.\n\nSuch an arrangement would no doubt be anomalous as far as it involved the presence of Chinese Custom-house officers, and the collection of Chinese customs duties, in a possession of the British Crown; and, moreover, there might be some difficulty in practically carrying into execution that part of the arrangement which would exempt such goods from any subsequent payment in a Chinese port. But there are similar instances in Europe of duties collected in the territory of one Power by the agents of another Power. The transit duties which shipping and goods going up the Scheldt are liable to pay to the Dutch Government are collected, not at Flushing, but at Antwerp by a Dutch agent stationed in that Belgian town; the duties which the Hanoverian Government levies upon shipping and goods passing by the fort of Stade in their way up the Elbe are levied, not at Stade or Brunhausen, but by a Hanoverian agent in the city of Hamburgh; and a plan has for some time past been under discussion between Denmark and other Powers by which, if it were adopted, the tolls which Denmark is entitled to levy upon ships and merchandise passing the Sound would be levied, not at Elsinore, but in the several Prussian, Russian, and other ports in the Baltic, by Danish agents stationed at those ports for such purpose.\n\nIt is possible that British commerce might be much encouraged if goods which had once been landed at Hong Kong could be carried from thence to any Chinese ports without being liable for any further payment on account of duty; and the Chinese Custom-house officers in Hong Kong would be less likely than the Chinese authorities at other ports to attempt to levy exorbitant and illegal duties.\n\n[256]\n\nK\n\n10", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-230 - Public Offices & Others - 1886.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 333127, "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": "CO129-230 - Public Offices & Others - 1886", "page_number": 481, "title": "CO129-230 - Public Offices & Others - 1886", "content_text": "20404 2337\n\nNOV 86.\n\n476\n\nCertified that his Excellency Sir George F.

Shortly after three o'clock the General's party, among whom was His Excellency the Governor, arrived at Murray Wharf, where they were met by His Excellency Major-General Cameron, and most of the officers of the garrison. During the general leave-taking which followed, the guard saluted, and the men of the regiment and garrison, who were present in strong force, showed their appreciation for the General by cheering most demonstratively. Their Excellencies the Governor and General Cameron having taken leave of General Sargent and his family on the wharf, the party embarked on board the launch, and as they did so, the Band played \"Auld Lang Syne,\" the battery fired a salute, the guard saluted, and the men of the Regiment again gave three lusty cheers for the departing General. Salutes were also fired from the Victor Emanuel and Admiral Davis' flagship, the Trenton. \n\nOn board the steamer the proceedings were equally demonstrative. From three o'clock onwards a continuous stream of launches and boats flocked alongside with large parties of ladies and gentlemen intent on showing their respect and appreciation for General Sargent and his family, and when the farewell Address was presented the gathering was probably larger than has ever assembled on board a steamer in this harbour for any similar purpose.\n\nWith not more than two exceptions all the members of the Legislative Council were present, the members of the Staff were fully represented, and there was a large concourse of the community. During the presentation of the Address, which took place on the upper deck, on the port side aft, the applause was frequent, hearty, and genuine, and the terms of the Address itself seemed to fully and correctly express the feelings of all present. The Committee who prepared the Address deserve the hearty thanks of the community for the appropriate and happy manner in which they discharged this duty.\n\n## From the Hongkong Daily Press, March 31st, 1885.\n\nIt is with sincere satisfaction we note that the Hongkong community do not intend to allow His Excellency Lieut.-General Sargent, C.B., to take his departure from the Colony without some expression of their esteem and goodwill. During the three years he has held the Command of Her Majesty's Forces here, General Sargent has won golden opinions both for his qualities as a soldier and for his character as a private gentleman. Virtus est militas decus, and valour is unquestionably a special virtue of General Sargent's, who is every inch a soldier. He has proved this many times during his eventful career, and he is not only courageous to a fault, but is always ready. He has never allowed red tape to hamper him in the execution of his duty when promptitude was an obvious necessity. When the anti-foreign riots broke out in Canton in September, 1883, and part of Shameen was destroyed, the General was immediately to the fore with offers of assistance, and a company of The Buffs was kept in readiness to proceed at a minute's notice to the City of Rams if needed. Similarly during the riots in this Colony in October last His Excellency was quick to afford the services of the troops, whose presence alone on the scene fortunately served to cowe the ill-disposed, and prevent any further bloodshed or violence. On all occasions General Sargent has shown himself eager to co-operate with the Civil authorities in putting down any attempt at disorder, and his assistance has invariably been afforded in the freest and most unhesitating manner. He has laboured hard and unremittingly during his stay here to impress upon the War Office the urgent importance of effectively fortifying the port and also of augmenting the garrison. It is certainly no fault of the General's that Hongkong has not been made the Gibraltar of the Far East, but his efforts have not been without some result. During his residence among us General Sargent has identified himself with the interests and amusements of the residents, lending liberal support to all deserving objects, and taking special delight in encouraging harmless recreations among the soldiers of the Garrison. His hospitality at ... \n\nPage 203", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-236 - Others - 1887.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 336171, "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": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "page_number": 256, "title": "CO129-236 - Others - 1887", "content_text": "The Derks greatest personal friends & most trusted Alfred Howe for showing not only their own regard for me but telling me of the high opinion, well held of me.

In this list, of which he has sent \nus a copy, the trade price is quoted as 40/- per dozen; and \nnothing is said about large or small quantities. In the \nprice list which Mr Hicks says ought to have been sent, \nthermometers are quoted at 60/9 per dozen, and no trade \nprice or discount is mentioned at all.

Daily News writes as follows --\n\nI note that an officer of the Royal Irish Constabulary (District Inspector Howe) has been seconded for duty here, to reorganise the Police Force. I understand that he has only been lent for a year, and that it is not in contemplation to appoint any new officers over the heads of those now in the Force. What, then, is Inspector Howe coming out to effect? No doubt he can give the force some valuable advice and perhaps render it more efficient. But he certainly cannot by reorganisation rid it of the suspicion of corruption lately engendered. If any permanent good is done to the Force the Chinese element in it must be expunged. Every official whose opinion was ever worth having connected with the Police—except perhaps Capt.-Supt. Deane—has declared that the lukongs are as a body corrupt, as a body utterly worthless in an emergency, and of very limited utility in minor matters, such as preserving order and regulating traffic in the streets.\n\nThe late Mr Charles May was very decided in his views on this subject, and no Hongkong official has ever had a better appreciation of the Chinese as policemen. He himself came here direct from Scotland Yard, and during a long residence in the Colony acquired a most accurate knowledge of Chinese character. The late Dr Stewart was also strongly opposed to the Chinese being employed as police. Mr Horspool, late Deputy Supt., who has retired on pension, held most pronounced views on the subject. He would have restricted the employment of Chinese in the Force to the detective branch, in which they are a necessity. But he would have liked to gradually replace all lukongs by Sikhs or Indians, who he declared were worth double as much as policemen and cost little more.\n\nSome years back a fine opportunity to commence this process occurred. About sixty lukongs were dismissed for receiving bribes from gambling houses. But Captain Deane, or the Government, with characteristic fatuity, filled their places with sixty other Chinese who probably were within a couple of months in receipt of similar comfortable retaining fees.\n\nThere is another side to this question which perhaps the Government has not taken into consideration, yet it is one that I should receive grave attention at the hands of the Colonial and War offices. With the present slender garrison of this Colony it is most essential that all the troops should be at liberty to act against any possible invader: they should not be embarrassed by a possible riotous outbreak in the slums of Taipingshan. To this end the Police should be able to cope with any such outbreak, and even perhaps be able to lend assistance with the volunteers in defending some portion of the island. But while the force is half Chinese how is this possible! I say therefore make the force semi-military and wholly effective by disbanding the Chinese contingent, and filling their places with Europeans and Indians. The chances of corruption would then be reduced to the minimum, and we should have a fine body of men not only able to preserve order but also capable of assisting the garrison at a pinch.

W. Mansfield Esq., H. B. M.'s Consul, Canton.\n\nDear Sir—The undersigned British firms beg to bring to your notice that they have received a letter from a number of silk dealers referring to the unsettled state in the chief silk districts near Canton, which renders it impossible to them to duly deliver to us the silk previously sold to us for forward delivery.\n\nWe beg to enclose a copy of said letter received by us, giving details of a few of the robberies, piracies, and blackmailing cases committed lately.\n\nSince several weeks our native friends have daily been reporting to us cases and explaining to us why the deliveries of silk should come in so slowly, but instead of diminishing, the danger to the trade in general, and particularly to the silk trade (owing to the great value of silk), has been growing daily, so that the interests of the foreign firms in Canton are now seriously affected.\n\nAs is usual in the silk trade, the native merchants have during the last 4/6 months made considerable contracts with the foreign firms, for delivery chiefly in June, July, August. Some considerable deliveries were made in June, but since a few weeks, notwithstanding a good third crop having come forward, deliveries are daily failing off.\n\nAs you will see from the information sent to you direct by each of the undersigned, the magnitude of contracts they have on hand is considerable and we would therefore ask you to find some means to protect, as far as possible, our threatened interests.\n\nIt is evident that all the silk bought by us from the natives has been sold in Europe and America and that we are responsible for all claims arising from late or non-delivery of these silks.\n\nWe are, dear sir, yours most respectfully,\n\nJARDINE, MATHESON & CO.\n\nHERBERT DENT & Co.\n\nROWE & Co.\n\nT.

Consul here, with reference to the numerous robberies, piracies, and blackmailing cases committed lately in the chief silk districts.\n\nThis matter being one of very great importance to a great many of the members of the Chamber, we beg to suggest that the Committee of the Canton Chamber of Commerce also addresses the Consul on this subject, so as to add more weight to the complaint brought forward by us.\n\nWe are, dear sir, yours faithfully,\n\nREISS & Co.,\n\nWe the undersigned Silk merchants of Canton having made contracts with fixed delivery with your firm, have to inform you that owing to the present unsettled state in the silk districts, we are afraid of being unable to fulfil the said engagements in due time.\n\nOwing to numerous robberies, piracies, and blackmailing cases occurred within the last few weeks in the chief silk districts, it has become almost impossible for us to get the silk from the country, and our agents there asked us not to forward any more money to them, as the bandits robbing it would likely have to...\n\nAs a few instances of the numerous robberies perpetrated lately we may quote:\n\nAt 9 a.m. 9-7-99 in Kong Tan creek some pirates abducted a supercargo and his coolies belonging to the cocoon shops of Koon Shan in Namhoi District.\n\nSheung Fang & Co., Kung Kee & Co., and other cocoon shops in Koon Shau have been threatened and asked for a sum of Tls. 500 from each shop; and as they refused to pay, they are pressed to pay a larger sum of Tls. 800 each.\n\nAt 8 a.m. 10-7-99, in Ngao Hu a cocoon dealer was robbed, and lost 30 odd packages of cocoons; one boatman killed and supercargo wounded.\n\nEach of the four cocoon shops in Lok Chung Hu of Shun Tak has been asked to pay a sum of Tls. 700.\n\nAt noon, 14-7-99 a cocoon boat was robbed at the entrance of the creek of Kat Yan village; booty worth 1,000 odd taels.\n\nThe silk filatures of Sai Shiu and Sai Po have been asked to pay sums up to several thousand taels.\n\nThese occurrences do seriously interfere with the whole silk trade and unless your firm in combination with the other foreign silk firms can through your Consul bring some pressure on the Chinese Government to make arrangements to clear the country from the hundreds of robbers and pirates, we fear that by no fault of ours we will not be able to fulfil our engagements punctually.\n\n[Here follow chops]\n\nCanton\n\n21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-294 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 374918, "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": "CO129-296 - Public Offices & Others - 1899", "page_number": 247, "title": "CO129-296 - Public Offices & Others - 1899", "content_text": "what is given to Kein is in proportion to the pension to which he would have been ordinarily entitled.\n\nIf you have any objection to this information being given, I shall be much obliged by your instructing the proper department to furnish it to me.\n\nThe It Howe\n\nM1.M.A.\n\nJoseph Chamberlain\n\nSecretary of State for the Colonies\n\n \n\n**\n\nMr Chamberlain\n\nSee funktion manuão af 7638 242\n\na. this paper\n\nW.

Later, a petty official was got hold of, who regretted his inability to restrain the people, but promised to bamboo someone. With regard to the Lungkiang herself, we understand the Customs at Canton threatened to fine her for passing Luklao at all, and her captain was instructed, under orders from H.M. Consul-General in Canton, that he had better not go there again. A British merchant vessel is fired at; a British gunboat is pelted with stones, and what happens? The merchant vessel is threatened with a fine by the Chinese Government, and the captain is warned by the British Authorities that—like Sam Weller in the Bardell case—he had better be careful; while the gunboat fires at a mud bank and gets a coolie bambooed. A truly logical, dignified, and strong attitude!\n\nIt is, of course, necessary that H.M. Consuls should do their best to preserve order and peace in the southern provinces if possible, but it is doubtful if an exhibition which is characterised by neither dignity nor force can be calculated to increase the chances of this. Firing into a mud bank as a method of impressing the Chinese is doubtless effective, but whether the impression made tends to increase that respect for England's power with which it is so necessary the Chinese should be inspired, and upon which depends the lives of hundreds of foreigners in China, is a matter on which the ordinary man can have no doubt whatever. With regard to the threat of the Customs officials to fine the Lungkiang, this can be taken for what it is worth. It can only be regarded as an attempt at \"bluff,\" undertaken on behalf of the local officials in order, if possible, to complicate and evade the very plain question of their responsibility for an unprovoked outrage on a British vessel. The Customs are perfectly well aware that in passing Luklao—which is in one of the delta channels joining Canton with the West River—the Lungkiang was only doing what she and all other vessels have been doing with their (the Customs') full knowledge and consent for the past three years; although to do so may be contrary to the letter of certain regulations which were drawn up under conditions now no longer existing. But whether the vessel's presence at that particular spot was or was not in accordance with some restrictive and absurd regulation, it cannot be allowed to cover or in any way hide the point at issue. A wanton attack is made on a vessel under the British flag, and it is plainly the duty of the British Government to take some more effective steps to obtain redress than can be obtained by firing at a mud bank; and it is equally plainly the duty of the Chinese Government to offer some other reparation for the outrage than is contained in a threat of the infliction of a fine—on the outraged vessel. Piracy, murder, and outrage have, however, become so common that a little more or less does not seem to affect our Government, but there is a power arising slowly but surely which will sooner or later make itself felt----the power of public opinion and public indignation. The public indignation of the world, it may be; but that of Britain certainly. The cup is nearly full, and it will be well for the Chinese that the last few drops are not added to make it overflow.\n\nClosely connected with and forming part of the same restrictive regulations which the Chinese now advance in an attempt to palliate their attack on the Lungkiang, is the reason for the withdrawal and sale of the Shipping Companies' vessels from the West River trade. After two years of representation and petitioning against these restrictive regulations, which only resulted in polite acknowledgments from the British Government and in active resistance on the part of the Chinese, they have been compelled to withdraw their vessels, with the result that the British Flag is now practically unrepresented on the West River, as far as trade is concerned. Abstract reasonings on the right of the Chinese to make what regulations they see fit are interesting when one's pocket is not affected, but we cannot help wondering whether, if our representatives from the Minister downwards to the Consuls at the various ports----had been financially affected by the result, they would not have introduced a little more practical energy into the performance of their duties and made some more efforts to secure the recognition of equality of opportunity for British ships than will ever be accomplished by discussions as to the exact meaning to be attached to some abstruse Chinese hieroglyphic.\n\nPage 200", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-301 - Governor Sir Blake - 1900 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 379737, "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": "CO129-303 - Public Offices & Others - 1900", "page_number": 691, "title": "CO129-303 - Public Offices & Others - 1900", "content_text": "## recruitment of Chinese Labourers for the South African labour market.\n\n2.

It suggests that Mr. Hollingsworth, Engineer, who has been 4½ years in the Colony, shall be appointed Executive Engineer, and that two Assistant Engineers shall be sent out from home.\n\nAfter consideration of Mr. Chatham's letter, Sir Henry Blake backs it wholeheartedly and recommends everything that Mr. Chatham does. It should be remembered that he is his own financial advisor. (Mr. Thousan has been replaced at the Treasury by a passed cadet.)\n\nI have no doubt that the work is insufficient for the staff. It is indeed unlikely that the number of officers, who have lost the benefit of the experience gained by Messrs. Ormsby, Hay, Rowe, and Gibbs, would be able to carry out the actual work.\n\nThe question is whether such a proposal, which exceeds $300,000, should ever have been put forward. Whether a proposal of the same size will be put forward for 1902 depends on the Estimates, which we have not had. I do not object to his putting forward the proposals in the Estimates, and I would recommend that they be considered, and that until the Estimates and S. of S.'s sanction are received, Mr. Hollingsworth is not to be promoted.\n\nSend copy to Mr. Ormsby (AF27/7) and ask him to be good enough to forward his views.

C. S. Sharp (chairman), Mr. W. Poote (vice-chairman), Hon. C. W. Dickson, Messrs. E. A. Hewett, C. Michelau, N. A. Siela, J. R. M. Smith, H. E. Tomkins, R. C. Wilcox and A. R. Lowe (secretary).\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said—We are met here to-day in consequence of what is seemingly a general desire, as expressed by means of suggestions, if not demands, in the columns of the public Press, as well as in consequence of a renewed request from our neighbours at Singapore, that we should consider whether it would be possible or advisable for this Colony to take steps by means of urging on the Government, or otherwise, to deal with the silver question, and if possible, bring about some measure of stability in exchange. It is needless to say that this is a question closely affecting us all, and the trade of the Colony, and of late the position has been much accentuated by the changes adopted in neighbouring countries, which have no doubt combined with other causes to bring about a heavy fall in the gold value of the white metal, and further a movement is now in progress having for its object to place the currency of the Straits Settlements on a gold basis, which, if carried out, will no doubt have a further depreciating effect on the value of silver. A similar movement is also being made in regard to the Philippines. This is a subject which in past years has received not a little attention from preceding Committees of this Chamber, the result of which I will shortly summarize:\n\n1892, 19th November. A general meeting of members passed the following resolution:--\n\nThat the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce recommend to, and urge upon, Her Majesty's Government the desirability of adopting in concert with the other European Governments, with the Government of the United States and with that of India, also with those of other countries, if so desired, such means as will lessen if not remove the present serious uncertainty in exchange between silver and gold-using countries which has had so disturbing and so universally injurious an effect upon British Commerce with all Eastern and silver-using countries.”\n\n1893, 17th March. Committee addressed Government a request that the home authorities be pressed to fully consider the interests of this Colony in any measures proposed with regard to Indian currency. Letters were also exchanged with various bodies on the same subject, and at the Annual Meeting held in 1894, 11th May, the Chairman pointed out that though foreign traders in China suffered by the Indian movement the natives here benefitted by it.\n\n1897, 27th August. A letter was addressed by the Singapore Chamber of Commerce inviting this Chamber to co-operate in moving for some remedy to bring about fixity of exchange, a subject they were then considering, and asking if this Chamber contemplated taking any action on this important matter. On 4th September, this Chamber replied that the positions occupied by the two Colonies were very different, which rendered combined action impossible in the direction of procuring relief from the instability of silver, and stating that situated on the borders of the greatest silver-using Empire in the world, with which country its trade is mainly conducted, it would be wholly impracticable for this Colony to attempt divorce from China, however much, for some reasons, such a departure might at first sight seem desirable.\n\n594", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-316 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 390116, "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": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "page_number": 392, "title": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "content_text": "Moscavating \n\nAmbulance. 389 216 \n389216 \nfive blaitis. position, and they start peinte \ntime of theperty, with which he has exceeded \n\n7.

In the case of an Officer serving on the West Coast of Africa, a statement is to be added whether he is a native of that Coast. (Colonial Regulations, § 430.)\n\nHead 3.---State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the case of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority under which the claim is made.\n\nHead 5.-If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word \"broken\" should be added before or after the number of years and months, and the causes, dates and circumstances of the breaks or break should be stated under heading 9.\n\nHead 6.--If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36 months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wages at that date should be inserted, preceded by the word \"actual.\" In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the 36 months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word \"average,\" but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted.\n\nHead 7--- A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Value, for the 36 months immediately preceding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the pension or Gratuity.\n\nWhenever the value of a House or House Allowance, so ascertained, exceeds one-sixth of the salary and other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall not exceed one-seventh of the whole.\n\nFees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the net receipts of the 36 months next preceding the Officer's retirement. These net receipts are to be ascertained by deducting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &c. as an Officer may have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the services for which he was remunerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be made in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the due discharge of these duties to which a Fixed Salary is attached.\n\nPaper of \"Particulars\" when forwarded to the Colonial Department should be accompanied by formal Declarations from the retiring Officers, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount defrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension purposes to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.\n\nHead 8.-In cases of infirmity if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such infirmity is likely to be permanent.\n\nIn case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should, if possible, be a Salaried Officer of the Government.\n\nHead 9.---As to \"broken\" service, see Head 5.\n\nIf the Applicant has had any \"acting service,\" the details must be fully given, with a statement whether or not, during the \"acting\" service, he was connected with the permanent Civil Service of the Colony.\n\nHead 10--If, in special circumstances, a professional Civil Officer has been allowed to have “private practice\" without forfeiting his claim to Pension, the facts are to be fully stated.\n\nHead 14-If the Applicant is liable to any deduction from his service under Clause 102 of the Colonial Regulations, the facts should be fully stated.\n\nHead 19.—The length of service and other particulars of the computation are to be given. When an average of Salary, &c. is taken, the mode of calculating it (whether by months, &c.) is to be explained.\n\n(1) Officers having joined the service before 1st July, 1897, are entitled to draw their pension in England at rate of 3s 4d the dollar; others who joined later to 3s---the Dollar.\n\n(2) Indians having joined the service before 23rd June, 1895, and drawing pension in India are entitled to exchange at the rate of Rs. 227 for every $100; others who joined later to Rs. 200 for every $100.\n\nDRAFT.\n\nHasking\n\nSer\n\nMr.\n\nMr.\n\nNo 320 I. hattian\n\nMINUTE.\n\nStubbs 3/11 Bidders\n\nMr. Antrobus,\n\nMr. Cox.\n\nMr. Lucas. 5\n\nMr. Graham.\n\nSir M.

One condition of the trade might be that it is carried on with the consent of the Governments of both the exporting and importing countries. Other nationalities place few, if any, restrictions against such a trade, which, if properly conducted, is as honourable a means of employment for shipping as the carriage of free passengers or goods.\n\nFrom various causes, the carrying trade of British shipping in the Far East, as regards the transport of coolies, has been subject to great fluctuations, principally of a discouraging and declining character, and any efforts calculated to bring about a steady and extensive passenger traffic in the direction of new fields of enterprise should commend itself to this Colony, from which the greater part of British shipping employed in the China Seas is directed or controlled.\n\nNo objection is raised by the Chinese Authorities to the exportation of coolies under contract service, and the importation of such is much desired by various States in Central and South America, where the native labour is both insufficient and inefficient. My Committee therefore trust that His Excellency the Governor will be able to support the views advanced by my Committee on this subject, and that he will seek powers to enable British Shipping in Far Eastern Waters to carry a share of the Chinese labour required in distant countries when the importing and exporting countries are agreeable to same, and to amend the laws prohibiting voyages of over 30 days' duration so as to enable British Shipping to carry Chinese free labour to the more distant ports of Central and Southern America.\n\nI have, etc.\nA.

At the same time with a complicated tariff like the French and crowds of Customs officials brought up on principles of red-tape, misunderstandings are constantly liable to arise with the native traders. A considerable section of French public opinion in Tonkin is opposed to their Customs system on the ground that it prevents money from coming into the Colony and that its application renders the Administration unpopular with the natives.\n\nFor instance, Monsieur Szymauski, the Director of the Banque de l'Indo-Chine at Hanoi, in speaking to me of the misunderstanding with the Chinese referred to above, lamented the fact that although they had got the route which should give them the trade of Yunnan and Szechuen, they were likely to lose much of its benefit from the \"tracasseries\" of the Customs service.

The Secretary of State was obviously under the impression that\n\nremittances were made at the same rate as that at which salaries\n\nwere paid. The large difference which has for a second time\n\noccurred warrants me in expressing the hope that Your Excellency\n\nmay take prompt action in the present unfortunate circumstances.\n\n5.\n\nI have the honour also to point out in\n\nsupport of the request that I am making to Your Excellency that\n\nthe question now raised is entirely independent of the main\n\nquestion which has been raised in the different memorials which\n\nhave been forwarded to the Secretary of State. It is concerned\n\nsolely with the local rule by which the rate for each month is\n\nascertained. A concession on this point would not therefore in\n\nany way prejudge the larger question raised by the memorials.\n\n6.\n\nLooking at the question in its superficial\n\naspect it will doubtless occur to many that the present fall in\n\nexchange will ameliorate the position of civil servants: but\n\nowing to the operation of the artificial rule by which the month-\n\nly rate is ascertained, not only will they derive no benefit\n\nfrom the fall this month, but even next month the rate will be\n\nunnecessarily high owing to the high rate prevailing on 15th\n\nMarch as compared with that now obtaining. In order to emphasise\n\nthis unsatisfactory state of affairs, I draw Your Excellency's\n\nattention to the fact that in spite of the recent severe fall in\n\nexchange the rate at which salaries will be paid this month is\n\nthe same as last month.\n\n7.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 409464, "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": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "page_number": 530, "title": "CO129-340 - Governor Nathan Acting Governor May - 1907 [4-6]", "content_text": "Extract from the Hong Kong Daily Press of 22.5.07\n\nPEAK TRAMWAYS COMPANY LIMITED.\n\nThe report of the directors for the period from 19th October 1905 to 30th April 1907 (inclusive), for presentation to the shareholders at the Ordinary Annual General Meeting of the Company, to be held at the registered offices of the Company, Alexandra Buildings, Des Voeux Road, at noon on Saturday, May 25th reads:-\n\nTo the Shareholders of Peak Tramways Company, Limited.\n\nGentlemen, The Directors submit to you their report and statement of accounts for the period from 19th October 1905 to 30th April 1907 (inclusive),\n\nThe Net Profit for that period, after providing for loss on subsidiary coins, amounts to $43,830.71\n\nFrom this have to be deducted: Remuneration to Directors $3,840.00, Remuneration to General Managers, 5 per cent on gross earnings $7,335.08, Total $11,175.08\n\nLeaving available for appropriation $32,655.63\n\nThe Directors recommend that a dividend of one dollar per share be paid to shareholders, absorbing $25,000.00, that $5,000.00 be written off Stations and Shelters and that the balance of $2,655.63 be carried to a new profit and loss account.\n\nDIRECTORS.\n\nMessrs.

The interview took place yesterday afternoon, and I have the honour to inclose a report of the proceedings, which has been prepared by Mr. Mayers, the Acting Chinese Secretary.\n\nWe were received by their Excellencies Yuan Shih-kai and Liang Tun-yen, both new Ministers, and neither of whom had any special knowledge of the matter. This arrangement, which was doubtless designed to obviate inconvenient insistence upon past engagements, had at least one advantage. It gave Admiral Moore an opportunity of impressing upon the Minister who is in the best position to initiate effective action that the Central Government were confronted with the alternative of either making the Canton authorities take proper measures for the policing of their waterways or of seeing them policed by us. His Excellency Yuan Shih-kai was careful not to commit himself to the Customs scheme, but gave a definite assurance that effective steps would be taken without delay to deal with the question. As I have frequently, however, had occasion to point out, the difficulty lies in getting the provincial authorities at Canton to carry out the orders of the Central Government. The presence of Yuan Shih-kai in Peking, and the appointment of a new Viceroy at Canton, are two important factors which, perhaps, justify the hope that a change of policy may now be expected.\n\nThe Inspector-General of Customs is still somewhat reluctant to embark upon the Customs scheme until he is assured that provision will be made for the maintenance of the four cruisers for the purchase of which he is expected to provide.\n\nAfter visiting the Upper Yang-tsze, Admiral Moore will proceed to Canton early in November, and will then ascertain, at a personal interview with the new Viceroy, what action is being taken to give effect to the assurances of the Government here. Representations coming from the Admiral, whose whole squadron will be within easy distance, and who has so recently conferred with the Peking Government, can scarcely fail to make an impression upon the provincial authorities, although as long as the Provincial Treasurer, who was until recently Acting Viceroy, remains at Canton we must, I fear, expect determined opposition to this and all other reasonable demands. For years past he has exercised an evil influence upon successive Viceroys, and has earned the reputation of being one of the most anti-foreign officials in the country.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) J. N.

Their Lordships will notice that we were received at the Wai-wu Pu by his Excellency Yuan Shih K'ai, and on account of his personality and high position, Sir John Jordan regarded his presence as an indication that the Chinese Government attached importance to the interview. His Excellency, having only recently assumed office, was presumably not intimately acquainted with the piracy question, nor with the history of the proposed scheme for its suppression, but he seemed to be very much in earnest, and to have every intention of dealing energetically with the matter.\n\n4. Apparently the failure of the Chinese Government to carry out its undertaking to place the four armed launches under the control of the Customs in the river has been due to the active opposition of the late Viceroy Tsen, who consistently disobeyed the wishes of the Central Government. Tsen has now been recalled, and a new Viceroy appointed, and, before taking further action, I propose on my return to Hong Kong to take an early opportunity to call on the latter to ascertain his views and intentions, and to repeat to him what I have already conveyed to his Excellency Yuan Shih K'ai regarding the duty which will fall upon me should the Chinese Government be unable to afford protection to those trading under the British flag in Chinese waters.\n\n5. With respect to the action to be taken, I have already pointed out to their Lordships the possibility of properly policing the waters of the Canton Delta without suitable vessels; but as the representations of the British Minister at Peking and His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Canton have been so far ignored, I am of opinion that it has become a necessity to bring home to the Chinese Government that we are in earnest. If my interview with the new Viceroy is productive of no results, or if another vessel under the British flag is pirated, I propose to send the \"Cadmus,\" \"Clio,\" and \"Alacrity\" to Canton, to patrol the Canton River with torpedo-boat destroyers, and to patrol the Canton Delta with four torpedo-boats commissioned for the purpose, supplemented by two or three picket-boats. If such action is taken promptly when the occasion arises it may have the effect of making the Chinese Government rise to the situation, and if they carry out their engagement to provide the four launches under Customs control, they will be taking effective measures in the right direction.\n\n6. A recent Report by the Senior Naval Officer in the West River, giving the present state of affairs as regards the piracy question, and offering suggestions for the policing of the waterways around Canton should the British Government decide to assume the responsibility, is inclosed. I concur in Lieutenant and Commander Vaughan's remarks that only by the provision of the suggested additional force could the policing be effectively carried out.\n\n7. I expect to be free to visit the new Viceroy at Canton about the third week in November, and would be glad to receive a telegram as to their Lordships' approval or otherwise in regard to the proposed action should the occasion arise, observing that the approaching concentration of the squadron in Mirs Bay for battle practice affords a convenient opportunity to put it into effect.\n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n\n### Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n## PIRACY IN THE CANTON DELTA\n\nA. W. MOORE.\n\n### Minutes of Interview at the Wai-wu Pu, Peking, September 24, 1907\n\nPresent: \nSir John Jordan, His Britannic Majesty's Minister. \nSecretary C. H. Rowe, R.N. \nYuan Shih K'ai. \nLiang Tun-Yen. \nEn Hou. \nVice-Admiral Sir Arthur W. Moore. \nMr. Meyers, Secretary of Legation.\n\nAFTER conversing on general topics for a short time, the British Minister introduced the subject of the interview by remarking that Admiral Moore had taken the opportunity of his passing through Peking, on his way to the Upper Yang-tsze, to request this interview with the Wai-wu Pu, as he wished to ascertain what the Chinese Government had done and intended to do in regard to the proposals for the suppression of piracy in the Canton Delta, which had been so long under discussion.\n\nThe Admiral informed his Excellency Yuan Shih K'ai that he had recently received a telegram from the Admiralty calling his attention to the constantly recurring acts of piracy committed against vessels trading under the British flag in the waterways around Canton, and the Admiralty had asked him what action he proposed to take to secure the protection of the flag against such outrages in the future. He had replied that, before taking definite action in the matter, he desired to confer with His Britannic Majesty's Minister, and to ascertain, by a personal interview with the Wai-wu Pu, what the Chinese Government's intentions were; and it was with the latter object that he sought the present meeting. His Excellency said he could assure the Admiral that the matter was engaging the serious attention of the Government, and had been for some time past, as they recognized that such a state of lawlessness was not only harmful to foreign interests, but to Chinese interests as well.\n\nThe Admiral pointed out that the British squadron was intended primarily for the protection of British interests in the Far East, and that as Commander-in-chief of that squadron it was his duty to see that such protection was afforded. The recent piracy of the \"Ki-Cheong\" was a particularly outrageous affair, in that it was done close to Canton and under the very eyes of the authorities; and he regarded the throwing overboard of the passengers as an insult to the British flag, under which they were sailing. With a view to the prevention of such outrages in future, he was already moving his ships southwards, so that, if the local authorities were unable or unwilling to deal with the situation, he might be prepared to take energetic action himself.\n\nHis Excellency said he quite recognized the seriousness of the recent affair, and the urgency of the whole question. The seeming inaction of the last few weeks was due to the change of Viceroys at Canton. He himself was of the opinion that the suppression of piracy rested mainly in the hands of the Viceroy; if that official made up his mind to stamp it out, he had the power and the means to do so. The newly-appointed Viceroy had received instructions to take the matter in hand without delay, and the Chinese Government felt sure that a general improvement in the situation would result.\n\nThe Admiral asked whether the Viceroy's instructions included directions to put the scheme for placing armed launches, under Customs control, in the river into execution, a scheme which he himself had from the first advocated, and which he felt sure was essential for the effective patrol of the river.\n\nThe British Minister explained to his Excellency the details of the scheme referred to by the Admiral. In addition to the placing of fourteen new armed launches in the river under the control of the Viceroy, the scheme included the provision of four armed launches which were to be officered by Europeans and to be under the control of the Imperial Maritime Customs, a representative of the Viceroy being placed on board each. He had urged this scheme repeatedly during the past year, and the Central Government had given him their undertaking that it should be carried out.\n\nIt was true that the Viceroy had purchased the fourteen armed launches, but they were inferior vessels and not of suitable type. As regards the four armed launches which were to be placed under Customs' control, notwithstanding his repeated representations, and the fact that the Wai-wu Pu had given him their assurance that they should be provided, and the Revenue Council had agreed to find the money, nothing had been done. He had no doubt but that his Excellency would find in the archives a record of the approval of the Government to the scheme.\n\nThe Admiral supported the Minister's statement by remarking that when he saw Viceroy Chou Fu at Canton in the spring the latter had informed him that the scheme had been approved, and that the four launches would be placed in the river.\n\nHis Excellency said that general instructions had been given to the new Viceroy to deal with the piracy question. As regards the Customs-controlled launches, he would look up the records on the subject. Personally, as before stated, he considered that the suppression of piracy rested in the hands of the Viceroy. The pirates were really robbers, who came from the shore and returned to their haunts after committing their depredations. He thought, therefore, that their capture could best be effected by the shore authorities, and he did not think that four launches more or less in such a long stretch of river could have much effect one way or the other, no matter by whom they were officered. The Admiral said he could not agree in his Excellency's views. He thought the presence of the launches would intimidate the pirates and act as a deterrent.\n\nIn any case it was of importance that the pirates should, if possible, be ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 412804, "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": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "page_number": 564, "title": "CO129-345 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1907", "content_text": "**CONFIDENTIAL.**\n\n# CHINA TRADE.\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[December 6.]\n\n## SECTION 1\n\nSir,\n\nForeign Office to Board of Trade.\n\nForeign Office, December 6, 1907.\n\nWITH reference to the letter from this Department of the 4th ultimo, I am directed by Secretary Sir E.

MacDonald encloses draft Conventions with Japan for the mutual protection of British and Japanese Trade Marks in China and Corea respectively, which have been communicated to him by the Japanese Government, together with a Memorandum by the Commercial Attaché to His Majesty's Embassy on the former containing comments on some of the provisions of these drafts.\n\nI am to offer the following comments on the inclosed papers.\n\nThe second paragraph of draft Article I relating to China runs as follows:-\n\n\"It is, however, understood that those who have actually been using Trade Marks in China for at least three years prior to the operation of this Convention shall not be prohibited from continuing the use of the Trade Marks in consequence of the exercise of the exclusive right thereto obtained by others.\"\n\nThis provision appears objectionable, since it is notorious that many British marks are being used by Japanese subjects in defiance of the wishes of their legitimate owners.\n\nMr. Crowe has therefore submitted a fresh wording for this portion of the Convention which he considers would meet the case from the British point of view.\n\nI am to suggest that the Board of Trade should cause a counter-draft of that paragraph to be prepared, as well as of other passages, if any, to which they take exception, for presentation to the Japanese Government.\n\nI am also to request you to inform the Board that Sir E. Grey is inclined to think that the decision of His Majesty's Government that the Convention with Japan should be concluded prior to continuing the Chinese negotiations should be adhered to.\n\nTo turn to the second draft, Sir E. Grey does not consider it desirable to enter into negotiations for a separate Convention as regards Corea, which the Japanese Government would seem to intend to use as a means for reducing British extraterritorial rights in that country, and I am to suggest that the Japanese Government should be informed that His Majesty's Government do not contemplate the conclusion of such an arrangement, but consider that the requirements of the case would be fully met by the insertion of the words \"and Corea\" after the word \"China\" throughout the text of the Agreement.\n\nComments on these drafts will probably be received from His Majesty's Minister at Peking and His Majesty's Consul-General at Seoul, but it seems to Sir E. Grey hardly necessary to delay the matter further by awaiting their receipt, as it is already known that Sir J. Jordan strongly objects to the purport of paragraph 2 of Article I of draft Convention with Japan.\n\nAs the Board are aware, this matter is somewhat urgent. Sir E. Grey would therefore be glad to learn their views as soon as convenient.\n\nI am, &c.\n\n(Signed) F. A. CAMPBELL.\n\n* Sir C.

MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received November 25.)\n\n(No. 241.) Sir,\n\nTokio, October 29, 1907.\n\nWITH reference to my telegram No. 47 of yesterday's date, I have the honour to transmit herewith translation of a note from the Minister for Foreign Affairs, inclosing a draft Convention on the subject of the mutual protection of trade-marks in China, and a second draft Convention dealing with the protection of British trade-marks in Corea and Corean trade-marks in the United Kingdom. I have, further, the honour to transmit a copy of a Memorandum drawn up by the Commercial Attaché to this Embassy, containing some observations on the former of these drafts.\n\nIt will be observed that in his covering note Count Hayashi makes no reference to the nature of these drafts, but lays great stress on the necessity of inducing the Chinese Government to put in force their revised Trade-marks Regulations with as little delay as possible.\n\nSir John Jordan, on the other hand, in a despatch to me dated the 1st June last, expressed his opinion very strongly to the effect that a Convention with Japan should precede the enforcement of the new Chinese Regulations, and did not consider that the Japanese fears of Chinese imitators were well founded or altogether ingenuous.\n\nIt will be seen from Mr. Crowe's Memorandum that he is of opinion that the Japanese Government cannot, in the present state of Japanese law, bind itself to protect in China any marks not registered in Japan, but that, owing to the operation of the Merchandize Marks Act applied to Japan by Order in Council, it might be held that the British authorities were bound to protect Japanese marks which have not been registered in the United Kingdom. If this view should be correct, the necessity of paragraph 2 of Article I is apparent; but it should be understood that this paragraph applies solely to those persons who can establish the right of user in China for three or more years prior to the operation of this Convention for marks which have not been registered in Japan by British owners or vice versa.\n\nOn the other hand, if it is held that the Merchandize Marks Act does not apply to this Convention, Mr. Crowe considers the paragraph in question as doing more harm than good, and he suggests the insertion of a paragraph to cover such cases as that of the piracy of Sir E. Armitage's \"Crocodile\" mark, which has been the subject of previous correspondence.\n\nMr. Crowe finally points out the necessity for some protection being afforded to \"Hong\" names, and also expresses a doubt as to whether all colonial subjects would be protected by the Convention, whether the States to which they belong have adhered to the Anglo-Japanese Treaty or not.\n\nTurning to the draft Convention concerning Corea, it will be observed that not only do its proposals amount to a complete renunciation of extra-territorial jurisdiction on the part of His Majesty's Government in all questions respecting trade-marks, but that they contain no mention whatever of the Corean authorities. British subjects are to be amenable in such matters, both civilly and criminally, to the Japanese Courts, and are to be bound by any trade-marks regulations, the nature of which is quite unknown, which may be put in force in Corea.\n\nIt should be mentioned that no reference whatever to Corea was made in the note which I addressed to Count Hayashi in accordance with the instructions contained in your despatch No. 121 of the 31st May last, though it is true that Corea was mentioned in the communications which passed on the subject in 1905; nor has Count Hayashi ever mentioned the subject to me in my numerous conversations with him respecting the protection of trade-marks in China. Under these circumstances it is somewhat remarkable that proposals of so drastic a nature should be presented without any comment in the note which covers them, and it would almost appear that the Japanese Government intend to make their signature of a Convention for the mutual protection of trade-marks in China dependent upon our acceptance of their proposals regarding Corea. I am not aware whether His Majesty's Government will consider these proposals favourably or not, but I am of opinion that the two drafts should be treated...\n\n[2724 bb-3]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415769, "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": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 464, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "Inclosure 3 in No. 1,\n\nDraft Convention respecting Mutual Protection of Trade-marks in Corea,\n\nTHE Government of Japan and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, for the purpose of concluding a Convention for the due protection of trade-marks in Corea, have named as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:\n\nHis Majesty the Emperor of Japan,\n\nHis Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,\n\nWho after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found to be in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following Articles:-\n\nARTICLE I.\n\nThe Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland accept as binding upon their subjects in Corea Regulations respecting trade-marks adopted and put into force in Corea, and they engage that Courts of Japan in Corea shall have full and exclusive jurisdiction, both civil and criminal, over British subjects in the matters relating to the infringement or misuse of any trade-mark entitled to protection in virtue of such Regulations.\n\nARTICLE II,\n\nBritish subjects shall enjoy in all parts of Corea the same protection as Japanese and Corean subjects in regard to trade-marks, upon fulfilment of the formalities prescribed by the Regulations referred to in the preceding Article.\n\nARTICLE III.\n\nCorean subjects shall enjoy in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland the same protection as native subjects in regard to trade-marks, upon fulfilment of the formalities prescribed by the laws of the United Kingdom.\n\nARTICLE IV.\n\nThe present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications thereof shall be exchanged at Tokio as soon as possible. It shall come into operation at the expiration of ten days from the date of the exchange of the ratifications, and shall remain in force until the expiration of six months from the day on which either party may give notice of its intention to terminate the same.\n\nIn witness whereof the above-mentioned Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention and affixed thereto their seals.\n\nDone in duplicate at Tokio, in the Japanese and the English languages, this\n\ncorresponding to the\n\nInclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by Mr. Crowe respecting the proposed Convention between Great Britain and Japan as regards Mutual Protection of Trade-marks in China.\n\nIT would appear that under Japanese law no protection is afforded to any save registered marks, except perhaps by Article 2, section 5, of the Trade-marks Law, which says that a mark which is the same as, or resembles, a trade-mark used by other persons before the operation of this law (i.e., 1st July, 1899) may not be registered,\n\nBut even this has in some cases been interpreted as meaning marks registered in the Patent Bureau before 1899.*\n\nIt is therefore clear that the Japanese law being what it is, the Japanese Government could not bind itself to protect in China any marks save those registered in Japan.\n\nOn the other hand, as \"The China and Corea Amendment Order in Council, 1907,\" relates not only to the Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Acts, but also to \"The Merchandize Marks Act, 1887,\" and as Japan being a member of the Industrial Property Union, an Order in Council has been issued applying provisions of section 103 of \"The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1883,\" to her, all trade-marks legally protected in Japan have the benefit of the protection afforded by the Merchandize Marks Act. For the purpose of this Act, the expression \"trade-mark\" means a trade-mark registered in the register of trade-marks kept under \"The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1883,\" and includes any trade-mark which, either with or without registration, is protected by law in any foreign State to which the provisions of the 103rd section of \"The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1883,\" are under Order in Council for the time being applicable.\n\nThis being so, it might be held that \"registered in the appropriate office\" did not mean more than \"registered in the register of trade-marks kept under The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1883,\" and therefore marks registered in Japan would be entitled to protection against infringement by British subjects in China, whether those marks have been previously registered in the United Kingdom or not, but the converse would obviously not hold good, i.e., British marks would not be entitled to protection unless registered in Japan.\n\nPremising, therefore, that the above possibility should prove correct, one can see the necessity for the second paragraph of Article 1.\n\n*\n\nIt is said that the number of unregistered \"chops\" in use in China is almost as great as that of registered marks. The proviso contained in paragraph 2 of Article 1 would safeguard the rights of proprietors of such open \"chops\" who may either have neglected, or been unable, to obtain registration in the United Kingdom,§ and have not done so in Japan against Japanese who might have registered in Japan, and who, as explained above, might claim protection under the Merchandize Marks Act. But it would have to be understood that the second paragraph of Article 1 is to be interpreted as referring solely to those persons who can conclusively establish the right of user in China for three or more years, prior to the operation of this Convention, for marks which have not been registered in Japan by British owners and vice versa.\n\nthe\n\nIf it should be held that the Merchandize Marks Act does not apply, and that for purposes of this Convention registration means actual registration in the United Kingdom, then before a Japanese could stop a British owner of an open \"chop\" from using it, he would have to register it both in Japan and the United Kingdom, and as the latter would presumably be impossible, nothing would be gained by this second paragraph of Article 1, seeing that even without it British owners of open marks could not be stopped from using them.\n\nOn the other hand, the clause becomes positively objectionable if it is to be interpreted in such a way that by it Japanese who have during the three years prior to the operation of the Convention been \"actually using (or, in other words, fraudulently imitating British) trade-marks in China,\" should obtain legal sanction for their pernicious practices.\n\nThe omission of any provisions which would apply to a case like that of Sir Elkanan Armitage's \"Crocodile\" mark seems a pity.\n\nOf course, by the second paragraph of Article 1, he would still be allowed to continue the use of his mark, but that is hardly the point. The Japanese who has fraudulently registered the mark in Japan acquires an equal right to the use of it in China, as Sir E. Armitage is unable to take steps in Japan, owing to the lapse of the three years stipulated in Article 10 of the Japanese Trade-marks Law. Under these circumstances, the only way to circumvent such pirates would be the inclusion of a paragraph worded in some such way:----\n\n\"It is, moreover, understood that in cases where subjects of each of the High Con-\n\n* N.B.-Mr. Hisamoto, in his communication to the Yokohama Foreign Board of Trade, seems to interpret this in a different way.\n\n† Vide Board of Trade despatch to Foreign Office, March 23, 1905 (p. 79 of \"China Trade\" print, January-June 1905).\n\nFile p. 35 of \"China Trade\" print, January-June 1904.\n\n$ P. 52 of \"China Trade\" print, June 1905.\n\n461", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415770, "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": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 465, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "## CONFIDENTIAL\n\n### CHINA TRADE\n\n#### No. 1\n\nSir J. Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.--(Received January 11, 1908.)\n\n**(No. 560.)**\n\nPeking, November 28, 1907\n\nIN my despatches Nos. 285 of the 12th June last and 341 of the 16th July I transmitted to you copies of notes from the Wai-wu Pu respecting the grant of exemption certificates by the Customs authorities at Newchwang to foreign goods which had already paid import duty and were destined for the newly opened trade marts in Manchuria.\n\nThis arrangement, however, only applied to goods re-exported to the Manchurian trade marts from Newchwang, and it was recently brought to my notice that the Commissioner of Customs at Tien-tsin was without instructions authorizing him to grant exemption certificates to goods re-exported from Tien-tsin to the trade marts in question and consequently declined to do so.\n\nAs a result of representations which I made on the subject, the Wai-wu Pu have now addressed to me a note, translation of which is inclosed, forwarding an experimental set of Regulations drawn up by Sir Robert Hart, according to which exemption certificates may in future be issued at Tien-tsin, Dalny, and Antung, as well as at Newchwang.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n**(Signed)**\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n### Inclosure 1 in No. 1\n\n#### Wai-wu Pu to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nNovember 19, 1907\n\nACCORDING to a communication dated the 9th instant from the Revenue Council with reference to the re-export by rail to the newly opened Manchurian trade marts of foreign goods which had already paid import duty at Newchwang to the Customs, the Revenue Council have approved of the adoption of a form of procedure which had formed the subject of correspondence between the Council and the Viceroy of Chilli. This was for the Customs authorities to issue a certificate, by which a double payment of duty would be avoided, and for a time limit of two months to be fixed within which the original certificates were to be returned stamped from the port of destination to the issuing office to be cancelled. This form of procedure had been duly notified to the places concerned.\n\nIn addition to this, however, the custom-houses at Tien-tsin, Antung, and Tairen are in a position analogous to that of Newchwang, and goods which are actually re-exported from those ports to the trade marts, although they may not be rail-borne, are on the same footing as rail-borne goods, and ought, consequently, not to be subjected to differential treatment.\n\nFurther, the collection a second time of duty on native goods which have already paid the coast-trade duty and are subsequently re-exported to the trade marts ought also to be avoided, and such goods ought in common fairness to be put on an even footing with foreign goods. The Revenue Council therefore directed the Inspector-General of Customs to devise some satisfactory method of procedure.\n\nSir R. Hart has now submitted a set of experimental Rules which are based on a comparative study of various proposals that have been put forward from time to time. The Council have forwarded copy of these Rules for the Board's information with the request that the foreign Representatives may be notified of their issue in order that they may direct their respective nationals among the mercantile community to observe them.\n\n[2813 -1]\n\n### Preceding Document\n\n**E.

As \"Hong\" names are also liable to piracy by Japanese subjects--witness the Carlowitz case, mentioned in despatch No. 167 to Foreign Office of the 1st August last--a clause should be included protecting them, whether registered or not.\n\nIt is also not clear whether \"subjects of one Contracting Party\" would include all colonial subjects, whether the Colonies to which they belong have adhered to the Anglo-Japanese Treaty or not.\n\nPage 462\n5508\nJanuary 11.\nSECTION 1\n14 FEB 08", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415776, "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": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 471, "title": "CO129-350 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.\n\n1 463 \n\n# CHINA TRADE.\n\n## CONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[1662]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[January 16.]\n\n## SECTION 1.\n\nSir,\n\nBoard of Trade to Foreign Office.-(Received January 16.)\n\nBoard of Trade, January 15, 1908.\n\nI AM directed by the Board of Trade to refer to your letter of the 6th ultimo, transmitting a copy of a despatch from His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokio respecting the protection of trade-marks in China and Corea, and, in reply, to state that they fully concur with Sir E.

Owing to the absence of any form of village police in wilder Kwang Tung, these cruisers should be officered by the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\n2. The distances mentioned—Fong Chuen to Shan King and Shau King to Chu Tau Shan (Admiralty charts)—cover only 145 miles of river. I cannot understand why the vast delta waterways are ignored. Chu Tau Shan is 10 miles north of Kong Mun, a city of tremendous launch traffic.\n\n3. Nineteen launches will not be able to patrol their respective sections twice a day—if all the waterways are policed.\n\n4. All the \"guard boats\" sailing gun-boats\" have, with a few exceptions, been recently removed from the West River. Many are broken up and a few are hauled up on the bank at Shiu Hing. There will therefore be no troops ashore to give assistance, except at a garrison town like Wachau or Shau King. The new launches recently built and most of the old ones carry no more than eight, or at the most ten, fighting men.\n\n5. This list, if it is compiled, would have to be an enormous one. The launches embark passengers nearly every half-a-mile.\n\nIt is an excellent suggestion that special sampans be registered to embark passengers, but no safeguard against pirates embarking. There are always recognized sampans for embarking passengers, which generally fly a special flag. These sampans have been used by pirates before (vide \"Wing Fat\" piracy case, July 1906).\n\n6. This is not feasible in tidal waters.\n\n7. All the launch routes are well known, and no uncertainty exists.\n\nEvery passenger launch or junk exhibits a board showing her principal ports of call.\n\nThe only deviation (from usual routes) is not due to tide, but to the height of water in summer floods.\n\nFrom April, in normal years, Canton to Shui Hing launches run via the Moneypenny and Fatshan Creeks until the river falls to 3 feet, when they are compelled to follow the main route, viâ Chun Chune and Kum Chuk. This route is advertised.\n\n8. This suggestion is good.\n\n9. I have travelled on launches flying the British, French, and Chinese colours, and have small faith in the \"guard\" system.\n\nThe guard when not asleep are smoking opium, and on nearing some customs station are awakened, and then put on their military uniform.\n\nWhen the \"Wing Fat\" was pirated last year near Ping Nam, the guard were sitting aft eating their food when the pirates arrived on board in the guise of passengers. Two soldiers came forward to search them and were promptly shot and thrown overboard. The rest of the guard surrendered, as their rifles were stowed forward and could not be reached in time.\n\nWhy should the owner of the launch have to pay for his own guard?\n\n10. I conclude that the three Government examination stations are to be quite close to Canton, the words East, West, and North Rivers not being used in the same sense as we employ, as the North River enters the West River at Samshui, and the East River enters the Canton River south of Whampoa, I think the number of examination stations might be extended to include Samshui, Shiu Hing, Kum Chuk, and Kong Mun, important shipping centres, otherwise the inspection scheme will be one-sided only—the Canton side.\n\nThey ought to be controlled by the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\nInclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nMinutes of an Interview on board His Majesty's ship \"Alacrity,\" at Canton, November 20, 1907.\n\nPresent:\n\nAdmiral Sir A.

Moore, having paid an official visit to the Viceroy on the 19th November, his Excellency the Viceroy returned the call on the following day on board His Majesty's ship \"Alacrity.\"\n\nAfter partaking of refreshments and exchanging the usual courtesies, by prearrangement the above-mentioned withdrew to the after-cabin to discuss the piracy question.\n\nThe Admiral informed the Viceroy that his principal object in requesting the conference was to discuss the proposed measures for the prevention of piracy in the vicinity of Canton, more especially in regard to the provision of the four fast launches to be placed under Customs control. He referred to the length of time this question had been under discussion, how that Viceroy Chow Fu had so far back as last March informed him that the launches would be provided, and how the Central Government at Peking had given their undertaking to the British Minister that the scheme would be put into effect. He had recently visited the Wai-wu Pu, and his Excellency Yuan Shih K'ai had assured him that instructions had been given to the Canton Government to do all in their power to suppress piracy, and had stated that the Viceroy could, if he would, stamp it out. Notwithstanding this, the launches had not been provided, and since his visit to Peking no less than three further robberies of vessels under the British flag had taken place. He felt that the time had now come when further talk was useless, and that definite action must be taken. He had been called upon by the Admiralty to report what measures he could take to insure the protection of British interests, and before giving his reply he wished to have a decision from the Viceroy as to whether he would or would not carry out the undertaking which had been entered into by the Chinese authorities to provide the four fast launches under Customs control.\n\nThe Viceroy, in reply, said that he was quite with the Admiral in desiring to stamp out piracy, he had already drawn up a scheme, which he was prepared to carry out, which included the provision of four fast launches, the systematic patrol of the waterways by the older patrol launches, and the co-operation of the military on shore with those vessels, so that the pirates might be followed up to their haunts when they escaped.\n\nThe Admiral pointed out that this scheme only provided for the patrol of about one-third of the waterways used by the launches, and that, as the guard-boats had been withdrawn, no soldiers were available to co-operate with the patrol vessels.\n\nTo this the Viceroy replied that his scheme was of course only in embryo, and that as it developed he hoped to arrange for the patrol of all the waterways. He added that the guard-boats which had been withdrawn would be replaced.\n\nThe Admiral asked whether he was to understand that the four fast launches referred to would be under the Customs control. The Viceroy said that he had recently received a telegram from Peking saying that the stipulation as to the launches being placed under foreign officers had been withdrawn by the British Minister; further, that he had been informed by the Commissioner of Customs at Canton that to place the vessel under Customs control would be fraught with much difficulty, and that the scheme was more or less impracticable. He also remarked that he, as Viceroy, was responsible for the policing of the province, and that it had nothing whatever to do with the Customs.\n\nThe Admiral replied that Peking must be under a misapprehension as to the withdrawal of the stipulation. He went on to say that, although there might be difficulties, they could, he felt sure, be overcome. He could not understand the Viceroy's attitude in the matter, or what were his objections.

J. Marshall to Messrs. Porteous Tyler and Rowe.\n\nMy dear Mr. Porteous Tyler and Rowe,\n\nKanchow, October 7, 1907. YOU will have heard by wire of the riot here. I don't know where to begin or how to end in writing you, and I know you will be longing for news from Kanchow. You are, we know, praying for us, and we so need your prayers at this time; pray on. On Thursday at 3 o'clock A.M., Shu-Hsieh-teh, the Roman Catholic priest in charge here, came to see me. I was awake, and got up to see what the dogs were barking so much about, and found Mr. Shu in a very excited state. He told me that Kiang Sheng-fu of Ta-O-Li had been killed and the place burned (you know Ta-O-Li is the Roman Catholic village, about half way between Nan-Kang and Tang-Kiang), and that there was sure to be great trouble. There were two small officials and two or three soldiers killed. An Sheng-fu escaped and got to the city about 8 A.M. I do not know how many Roman Catholic converts have been killed; over 100 are reported killed, but I think that is exaggerated. Thursday, at daylight, 200 or 300 Roman Catholic converts, and perhaps a lot of bad characters, entered the city. The Roman Catholic premises were just full of men, women, and children. Their converts must have come from all directions, and soldiers were guarding their doors and a crowd collecting. By noon the crowd began to shout and clap their hands and throw stones, &c. At about 1 o'clock they broke in and began to plunder, and at 2 o'clock the place was in flames. Su Tel-Ren and I kept our door wide open all day, and invited all who came in to sit down and not stand about the door and gather a crowd. Many of our people came and went, and all said do not be afraid, there will be no trouble here; and all the people seemed friendly. When I saw the roof of the Roman Catholic place fall in I thought it was time to get ready to escape, if necessary, so I told the Halls and Mrs. Marshall, and we got ladders ready to climb the wall into the neighbours joining the school, and there Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Marshall and a lot of Chinese sat under the tree waiting. About 4:30 o'clock the Hsien came and wanted us to go to the yamên. I told him we preferred to go to the Dao-Tai Yamên, and he was pleased, but never offered his chair for the ladies, nor did he send his men for bearers, so I sent for bearers, and when they came I escorted Mrs. Marshall to the yamên with a host of women and children. We passed the Roman Catholic place, and through Ri Ja-li the crowds were terrible, and we had to go slowly, but they opened the way for us, and no one seemed to want to hurt us. The Hsien did not even send one of his men to escort us. After Mrs. Marshall got to the yamên we sent the chair back for Mrs. Hall. The Roman Catholic priests, I think five in number, were also here, so at dark the Dai-Tai sent us to the Fu Yamên; we found Mrs. Home there. You may be sure we were all tired, but not able or ready to sleep. The Chi-Fu was exceedingly kind (he is the nicest Chinese official I have met). He spoke of sending us all away that night, so at midnight Mr. Hall and I, with a few Chinese, went to our place to get some necessary things for the journey; and if we only had expected a riot the next day, I assure you I would not have stopped till I had cleared our place of everything that could well be carried away.\n\nWe got the friends off at about noon the next day (Friday). Mr. Home and I returned to the West Gate, the people on the street still seemed friendly. I called a small chair and went over to our place, and I saw by the looks of a few Lu-Lans who were there that they were not gathered for any good purpose, so I went at once to the Dao-Tai and told him the place needed protection. He said he had (Fen-Fu) commanded the officials to look after our place. I had not been here long till word came the crowd had started to loot our place. You can imagine my feelings better than I can tell you. I comforted my heart that God was in and above all and decided to remain here. The Chinese begged me not to go to the chapel. The looting at the West Gate began perhaps an hour later than at the East Gate. There was not one person at our place from any of the yamêns to keep the crowd away. I believe if there were a few men at our place they could have protected it. There is not a door or window or bit of furniture or a book left, all swept away, the school is a complete ruin, the walls of the chapel and our house, and the roofs are in good condition. Oh the West Gate is such a ruin, the house will have to be rebuilt, more than half of the roof is gone, the other half hanging, all the wooden partitions have been carried away, and some of the posts that support the roof badly damaged and some taken away. The women's quarters and the place where the school was is very badly wrecked.\n\n5\n\nThe chapel roof and walls are all right, there is not one door left. Hu, the rice shop; Fu, the former barber; Chong, the medicine shop; Ny, the butcher and rice shop; Mrs. Chong, the cloth shop; and Fu-Shao-Gi have been looted and lost their all.\n\nThe Chen-Tai came out and wounded four men and Fu-Shao-Gis, who were looting (two have since died), and this put a stop to the looting. He would have opened fire on them, if the Dao-Tai was willing. The Dao-Tai was afraid it would cause further trouble and he had not sufficient soldiers to protect his yamên. The next day early the Dao-Tai put up Proclamations all over the city that any one attempting to cause any trouble would be killed on the spot, and all has been very very quiet since. The four men who were wounded at Fu-Shao-Gis are Feng-cheng-Hsien men from the Carpenter Street, and men who were arrested with the West Gate things the day of the riot are all Kan-chow men, Lu-Lans. They have been terribly punished and will likely be executed or die in gaol. One Kan-chow man was caught last Friday with a few things (of little value to us now) from the East Gate. He was also punished. So far as I know and have heard, the looting of our place was done mostly by the Lu-Lans and the Feng-Cheng carpenters. Feng-Shan was burned the day after our places, the old watchman saved twelve tables and Mr. Powis' bed. Nan-Kang, Tang-Kiang, Feng-Kang, Hueng-shih-tsing, and a large number of the country Christians and inquirers have been looted, and in some cases burned. Sin-Feng and Long-Nan and La-Ti were safe the last we heard. We thank God for all. There are about thirty of us here in the Dao-Tai Yamên.\n\nHis comfort and care, and I am specially thankful that there has been so little murmuring. One cannot but ask, What shall the harvest be of all this suffering and loss? May it be a harvest of souls being saved and spiritual blessing to us all! My heart aches when I think of all the time that has been spent in this city and district and on Feng-Shan buildings, and now they are ruined. My earthly belongings were but few, I think they will be less in the future, why we seek to lay up treasure in Heaven.\n\nYou will be glad to know Mr. Home seems comforted and is well. We have but little spare or quiet time these days and am sorry we have not been able to write you all,\n\nSoldiers are arriving almost every day and 1,200 are expected to-day from the capital; when they come the Dao-Tai is going out to Tao-Ti and Tang-Kiang to deal with the Boxers there, he means business, I think. We hear orders have come from Peking to exterminate the Boxers and rioters. I am going to the East Gate this morning with a few Chinese to clean up broken glass and begin a few necessary repairs. We hope Mr. and Mrs. Tyler be along soon, they will be much needed here.\n\nWith every good wish to you all. \"Let not your heart be troubled.\"\n\nYours in Christ,\n\n(Signed) GEO. J.

YOU will be glad to learn that Mr. Marshall and myself have just returned from the country this morning. All has been satisfactorily arranged. We find that sixty-three families have suffered in all; an indemnity of 13,503 dollars is to be paid to them, which is a very moderate sum for so many sufferers. Some have lost heavily. The Taotai Keung-or, rather, Judge-is still in the Nankang district; he is doing all in his power to restore order in a wise and permanent way. He is just the man for this crisis.\n\nHe has looked after our interest, and we are very thankful to him for the speedy and satisfactory settlement of our affairs. Some of that money is to be paid in a few days and the balance shortly. We are so thankful for settlement; this sets us free for reconstruction of the ruins.\n\nHope Mr. and Mrs. Tyler may soon be here, and also Mr. Rowe. The Meikles also may come along any time. It must be a comfort to them that their place has escaped. We have a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Seiple; they are safe, although they have gone through a great storm of rumours.\n\n24", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 415874, "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": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 39, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "6. It will be quite impossible to fix the times of departure and arrival of trading launches. The hours of rise and fall of the tide and the weather, fine or rainy, differ from day to day. If the patrol of the waterways is effective, there will be no object in fixing the times of departure and arrival of launches.\n\n7. Before the launch navigation routes are fixed it will be necessary to make a careful examination in order to find out what routes are most advantageous from a mercantile point of view, where the population is densest, where the water is deep enough for launch traffic, and whether there is in summer or winter any obstacle to the employment of the route. The decision of this question must await the completion of the mercantile map of the West River.\n\n8. Patrol launches and the fast cruisers must from time to time examine launches on meeting them, but must not delay them overlong. Unexpected examinations of this kind are of the utmost use, causing anyone with an intention of pirating launches to be afraid of being discovered. The stationary gun-boats of the various sections must also from time to time carry out these examinations.\n\n9. The stationing of braves on each launch depends entirely on the efficiency of the braves. If they are courageous men and would rather die than fail in their duty, and are unwilling that the launch under their protection should be plundered by pirates, then truly they are worthy of the highest praise. If, however, they are unreliable, timorous, and of small courage, then they are actually a positive danger instead of a protection; the pirates would at once seize their weapons. It is thus to be feared that they would be of assistance to the enemy. For this reason, a patrol of the waterways is more likely to go to the root of the matter than the stationing of braves on board the launches.\n\n10. A stationary gun-boat should be stationed continually at all landing-places, with a view to their inspection. The system of establishing three official inspection depots at important points in the neighbourhood of the capital's waterways, with control over the traffic on the East, West, and North Rivers is an excellent one. The Commissioner of Customs should, in consultation with the local officials, find out what are the most suitable places, and establish the three depots, instructing the harbour-master to settle everything in conjunction with the deputies appointed to take charge of them. The establishment of these depots will be of advantage to the Native Customs, Prefectural Customs, and li-kin receipts; and they will also assist in preventing the importation of arms from Hong Kong and Macao by brigands into the capital, and the export of arms from the capital to the assistance of brigands in the interior.\n\n11\n\nIt is an excellent suggestion that special sampans be registered to embark passengers, but no safeguard against pirates embarking. There are always recognized sampans for embarking passengers, which generally fly a special flag. These sampans have been used by pirates before (vide \"Wing Fat\" piracy, July 1906).\n\n6. This is not feasible in tidal waters.\n\n7. All the launch routes are well known, and no uncertainty exists.\n\nEvery passenger junk exhibits a board showing her principal ports of call.

This suggestion is good.\n\n9. I have travelled on launches flying the British, French, and Chinese colours, and have small faith in the guard system.\n\nThe guards, when not asleep, are smoking opium, and on nearing some custom station are awakened, and put on their military uniform.\n\nWhen the \"Wing Fat\" was pirated last year near Ping Nani, the guards were sitting aft eating their food, when the pirates arrived on board in the guise of passengers. Two soldiers came forward to search them, and were promptly shot and thrown overboard. The rest of the guard surrendered, as their rifles were stowed forward and could not be reached in time.\n\nWhy should the owner of the launch have to pay for his own guard?\n\n10. I conclude that the three Government examination stations are to be quite close to Canton, the words East, West, and North Rivers not being used in the same sense as we employ them, as the North River enters the West River at Sam Shui, and the East River enters the Canton River south of Whampoa. I think the amount of examination stations might be extended to include Samshui, Shiu Hing, Kum Chuk, and Kong Mun important shipping centres; otherwise, the inspection scheme will be one-sided only, the Canton side.\n\nThey ought to be controlled by the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\nThe guard-boats or sailing gun-boats having been removed, what form of Government station is to be established?\n\nInclosure 9 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum by Lieutenant-Commander Vaughan.\n\nThe waterways are said to cover 230 miles, but to my knowledge over 600 miles are used by launches in passenger traffic. This does not include another 360 miles of river above Wuchow in the Kuangsi Province.\n\nDuring the summer months a 3-knot current may be expected in the main river, so that a speed of more than 12 knots ought to be guaranteed, and they should not be detached for military operations, which are nearly always in progress at one place or another, owing to the absence of any form of village police in wilder Kwang Tung. These cruisers should be officered by the Imperial Maritime Customs.\n\n2. The divisions mentioned--Fong Chuen to Shan King, and Shau King to Chu Tau Shan (Admiralty charts)-cover only 146.5 miles of river. I cannot understand why the vast delta waterways are ignored. Am Tau Shan is 10 miles north of Kong Mun, a city of tremendous launch traffic.\n\n3. Nineteen launches will not be able to patrol their respective sections twice a day, if all the waterways are policed.\n\n4. All the guard-boats or sailing gun-boats have, with a few exceptions, been recently removed from the West River; many are broken up and a few hauled up on the bank at Shiu Hing.\n\nThere will therefore be no troops ashore to give assistance except at a garrisoned town like Wuchow or Shiu Hing. The new launches recently built and most of the old ones carry no more than at the most ten fighting men.\n\nLaunches embark passengers nearly every half mile.\n\n5. The list, if it is compiled, will have to be an enormous one.\n\nInclosure 10 in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum of an Interview held on Board His Majesty's ship “Alacrity” at Canton, November 20, 1907.\n\nPresent:\n\nViceroy Chang Jen Chun.

Moore,\n\nMr. Mansfield, Consul-General.\n\nCaptain Thursby, R.N.\n\nMr. Sly, Vice-Consul.\n\nMr. Rowe, Secretary to the Admiral.\n\nIn the course of a discussion lasting some two hours the Admiral impressed upon the Viceroy that his presence in Canton and the negotiations with which he was charged were necessitated by the fact that, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, the time for discussion of the repeated piracies in the Canton waterways had passed and the moment for action had come. He had, when in Canton in February last, discussed with Viceroy Chou Fu the scheme for placing on the waterways four additional cruisers of suitable type under the control of the Commissioner of Customs, and officered by foreign officers. The Wai-wu Pu had previously assented to this arrangement, and he had understood from Viceroy Chou that he was prepared to put it into effect. What was his (the Admiral's) surprise on arriving in Peking to find that nothing had been done. He had, in a long interview with his Excellency Yuan Shih K'ai and Minister Liang, informed them of his views on the whole situation, and that he considered the employment of these cruisers under Imperial Maritime Customs control with foreign officers, and with an official on board appointed by the Viceroy, essential to the improvement of existing ...\n\n36\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 416379, "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": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 544, "title": "CO129-351 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government.]\n\n537\n\n# CHINA TRADE.\n\n## CONFIDENTIAL.\n\n(10327)\n\nNo. 1.\n\nC.

Grey's consideration, that the attention of His Majesty's Ambassador at Tokio should be directed to the following point affecting the bearing of Japanese Trade-marks Law on the proposed Convention.\n\nIt is pointed out in Mr. Crowe's Memorandum, which formed one of the inclosures in your letter of the 6th December last, that, under the law as it stands, Japan could not bind itself to give protection in China or Corea to any British marks save those registered in Japan. The tenour of the Japanese law, as printed in the paper Cd. 104 of 1900, seems to indicate that registration of foreign trade-marks in Japan is dependent upon their use in that country. The fact is not explicitly stated, but it seems to be implied in Article I, which provides that \"a person who wishes to have the exclusive use of a trade-mark in order to distinguish his goods may register it under this law.”\n\nThere are probably numbers of British marks used in China and Corea, but not in Japan, which the owners thereof would desire to have protected in China and Corea from imitation by Japanese. If, therefore, the effect of the Japanese law be as suggested above, the limitation of the proposed Convention to registered marks becomes a matter for serious consideration, seeing that the Japanese Consular Courts in China and Corea would be unable to afford protection to British owners in cases of fraudulent use by Japanese subjects of marks used in those countries but not in Japan. On the other hand, under the provisions of the Order in Council of the 11th February, 1907, British Consular Courts would be empowered to afford protection to owners of Japanese marks registered in the United Kingdom, whether such marks were actually used here or not.\n\nThe Board are consequently disposed to think that Sir C. MacDonald should be instructed to make some inquiry with regard to the scope of the Japanese Trade-marks Law as bearing upon the point in question, particularly in relation to the proposed Convention. They would further suggest that he should be requested to ascertain definitely whether His Majesty's Government may understand that the Government of Japan will be prepared in any case to vest their Consular Courts in China and Corea with power to deal with cases of piracy by Japanese subjects in those countries of British marks registered in Japan with the object of obtaining such protection, and not necessarily with a view to use in Japan, conditionally upon His Majesty's Government according complete reciprocity.\n\n(Signed)\n\nI am, &c.\n\nH.

MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received May 11.) \n\n**(No. 96.)** Sir, \n\nTokió, April 15, 1908. WITH reference to my despatch No. 241 of the 29th October, 1907, and your subsequent telegrams, I have now the honour to transmit herewith a copy of our Counter-draft Convention as it stands at present after the various alterations which you have instructed me to make have been effected. \n\nIn two places I have made minor alterations, viz., \"China and Corea\" into \"China or Corea\" in Article 2, and \"firm name and hong mark\" into \"firm name or hong mark\" in the same Article, for which I did not think it necessary to obtain telegraphic sanction, but I have the honour to request that they may be approved. \n\nIn connection with the question conveyed in your telegram No. 23 as to whether it is possible under the Law now in force to register marks when intended for use in China and Corea but not necessarily in Japan, and also whether in such cases it would be in the power of Japanese Consular Courts to take action in case of infringement, and my telegram No. 28 in reply thereto, I have the honour to inclose a Confidential Memorandum of a conversation which took place between Mr. Adachi, of the Foreign Office, and Mr. Crowe. \n\nMr. Adachi, before replying, consulted the Director of the Patent Bureau. It will be noticed that he said that under the Law now in force marks, even though not actually in use in Japan, may be registered by the Patent Bureau, but that under the present Law, even where marks were so registered, the Japanese Consular Courts could not take action in cases of infringement. When, however, the Convention for mutual protection of trade-marks is signed, the Consular Courts would be empowered to take action by virtue of the Convention, which would supplement the existing Law. \n\nThis is in accordance with the principle that the provisions of a Treaty have the force of law when the provisions of the Treaty do not come in conflict with the provisions of the Law. \n\nIt is possible that the Japanese Government may hold that the proposed insertion with regard to the protection in Japan of hong marks, &c., without the necessary registration, is not in conformity with the Japanese Law on the subject, but their opinion on this point cannot be definitely ascertained until our counter-draft is presented, because in the American draft Convention, as shown in my despatch No. 95 of to-day, a different attitude is taken with regard to hong marks. \n\nThe final paragraph of the Memorandum inclosed herewith was added subsequently by Mr. Adachi after further consultation with Mr. Nakamatsu, of the Patent Bureau. They felt that a difficulty might arise if, in the application for registration, it were clearly stated that a mark was to be used solely in China or Corea, as the presumption of the Patent Bureau is that, even though a mark is not in use in Japan, it will probably be used there sooner or later. \n\nIt seems unlikely, however, that any patent agent in applying for registration would go out of his way to make a statement which was not called for. \n\nI have, &c. \n(Signed) \n**CLAUDE M.

Sir,\n\nPeking, October 16, 1908.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 11 of the 6th January on the subject of Chinese currency, I have the honour to inclose herewith translations of an Imperial Decree issued on the 5th October, and of the Memorial of the Government Council upon which it was based, ordaining the introduction of a uniform silver currency throughout the Empire, of which a coin weighing 1 Kuping or Treasury tael is to be the unit.\n\nThat China has decided to institute a national silver currency before proceeding further towards the adoption of a gold standard appears to be universally approved, but the selection of the tael, rather than the dollar, as the unit of value has come as a surprise to many.\n\nAccording to the Memorial of the Government Council, eleven provinces voted for the tael against eight in favour of the dollar, and there can be no question that the tael, variable as it has been hitherto in weight and value, represents a standard to the Chinese mind which the dollar has failed to impair.\n\nThe new tael and half-tael coins are to be 98 per cent. pure silver, and there will be subsidiary 10-cent and 5-cent pieces of 88 per cent. pure silver. The Board of Finance and the provincial authorities are enjoined to take measures for the early introduction of the new coinage into general use, it being recognized that the use of sycee and the various dollar currencies now in circulation will have to continue for some years to come.\n\nIt will be noted that the Memorial of the Government Council was evoked by the representations of Tong Shao-yi on the eve of his departure for America and Europe, that the unfulfilled Articles of the Commercial Treaties (of 1902-3) should be carried out without further delay. One of the objects of Tong Ta-jên's mission being to gain enforcement of Article 8 of the Mackay Treaty, it was obviously essential to him to be able to show that his Government was giving effect to the other Articles of that document, which have hitherto remained under consideration.\n\nThough the present measure is a step towards the fulfilment of Article 2 of the Treaty, it does not require specialized knowledge of the subject to perceive that there are several important omissions in the enactment. Of these, the chief is that no ratio is fixed between the copper currency and the new tael coinage, and the second that no indication is given as to whether the new coins are to be issued solely from mints under the direct control of the Board of Finance. Without provisions upon these two points, it can hardly be said that a national coinage is likely to result from the present Decree, though it is possible that the Board of Finance will safeguard the interests of the Central Government by a supplementary enactment.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJ.

Our correspondent gives us particulars as to the whereabouts of the store where this fraud was perpetrated, and if the authorities wish for these particulars we shall be pleased to furnish them. It is bad enough to have foreign trade-marks and designs boldly copied, but it is worse when the retailer knowingly enters into the deception, and charges top prices for inferior goods, thus making an illegitimate profit through the original fraud of the manufacturer,” \n\nOur correspondent sends us two bottles which have contained table vinegar, and at first sight it is difficult to detect any difference between the labels which are affixed to the two bottles. Both have metal capsules, a white label printed in gold on the neck, a plain white narrow slip bearing the words \"Superior Table Vinegar,\" and a large label at the foot, printed in gold, black, and red on white paper. Both labels bear statements that the makers have been awarded prize medals for preserved provisions, and illustrations of these awards are printed in gold. On closer inspection, however, a curious fact comes to light, which is that the firm of C. and E. Morton, and another firm, G. and E. Morison, both have offices at 107, 108, 109, Leadenhall Street, and what seems equally curious is that each of these firms were awarded prize medals at London in 1862, Paris in 1867, Oporto in 1865, and Havre in 1868. Still more remarkable, both Messrs. Morton and Messrs. Morison have branch establishments at Milwall, Lowestoft, and Aberdeen! The explanation of this extraordinary series of apparent coincidences is, however, very common-place. Messrs. Morton, a well-known London firm, are merely the victims of an imitative Japanese rival, who has closely copied their labels, and is apparently filling their empty bottles with his inferior vinegar. The Patent Bureau, which is so keen upon trademarks and designs that may lead to confusion, would do well to study the labels of Messrs. Morton and Messrs. Morison, and if the latter \"firm\" is using a colourable imitation of the London makers' label, it is the duty of the authorities to prevent the public being defrauded by the maker and the retailer, whether Messrs. Morton have registered their label or not.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 417784, "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": "CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908", "page_number": 496, "title": "CO129-353 - Public Offices - 1908", "content_text": "C.O.\n\nThis Document is the property of His Britannic Majesty's Government\n\n46270\n\nPer\n\nRecd 17 DEC 08\n\n[November 9\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[38916]\n\nNo. 1.\n\nSECTION 6.\n\n(No. 243.) Sir,\n\nSir C. MacDonald to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received November 9.)\n\nTokió, September 18, 1908.\n\nWITH reference to my despatch No. 233 of the 12th instant, on the subject of the use of trade-marks in Japan, I have the honour to forward herewith a Memorandum drawn up by the Commercial Attaché, in which he points out the difference which exists between foreign-registered marks and ordinary marks registered by foreigners in Japan.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(signed) CLAUDE M. MACDONALD.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nMemorandum respecting Trade-Marks in Japan.\n\nDifference between foreign-registered Marks and ordinary Marks registered by Foreigners in Japan.\n\nIN Count Komura's note of the 5th September, 1908, forwarded in Sir C. MacDonald's No. 233 of the 12th September on the subject of the use of trade-marks in Japan, the following sentence occurs: \"But if a trade-mark is not a foreign-registered trade-mark, but is merely a trade-mark registered by a foreigner in the same way as a Japanese in Japan only, the right of exclusive use of the mark expires with the cessation of business in Japan and places to which the protection of the Japanese Trade-Mark Law extends.\"\n\nIt should be remembered in connection with this sentence that many marks which are, in actual fact, foreign marks registered abroad might be treated by the Japanese Patent Bureau merely as trade-marks registered by foreigners in the same way as a Japanese in Japan only.\n\nThe reason is as follows :-\n\nArticle 3 of the Japanese Trade-mark Law says:\n\n\"The term of exclusive use of a trade-mark is 20 years, and is reckoned from the date of registration in the register of trade-marks.\n\n\"The term of exclusive use of a trade-mark registered in the Empire which has been previously registered abroad follows the term for which the original registration is still valid; but it cannot exceed 20 years.\"\n\nNow in the United Kingdom the period during which a mark remains on the register without payment of renewal fees is 14 years, so that according to Article 3 of the Trade-mark Law any British mark which is registered in accordance with Article 2 of the Trade-mark Rules (which reads as follows: \"When any person wishes to obtain the registration in this Empire of a trade-mark which has been registered in a foreign country, the application shall be accompanied by a copy, certified by the Government of that country, of the certificate of registration and the specification of the trade-mark\") would hold good for only 14 years instead of 20—a distinct loss of 6 years.\n\nIt has therefore been the custom amongst several Patent Agents to register a trade-mark in ordinary cases as if it were merely a mark registered by a foreigner in Japan, and not as a foreign-registered mark.\n\nIt is perhaps doubtful whether in actual practice a case would occur in which this distinction would render a mark invalid, but the point is nevertheless worth bearing in mind.\n\nYokohama, September 15, 1908.\n\n(Signed) E.

For example at the date when Ordinance No.10 of 1904 was passed the Registrar General reported that there were some 83 firms in the Colony dealing in opium pills and opium wine, and that of these 83 there were which dealt in these articles exclusively. But in November 1908 there remained as licensees only 28 firms which had been in business in the Colony prior to the passing of Ordinance No. 10 of 1904, while only five firms all of them European (A.S.

The issue of such a certificate or even of a passport is not compulsory on a Government, and passports to visit certain countries are frequently withheld.

The Chinese draw no distinction between Anglo-Chinese in Class 2 and those in Class 3, and so long as they fail to do so, it would be super-rogatory of the Hongkong Government to make a show of virtue by surrendering a claim to protect Anglo-Chinese in Class 3. It is much wiser to maintain the claim and not surrender it except as a quid pro quo.\n\n## 28 \nIt would be better not to issue a certificate, than to issue one carrying with it no promise of protection.

F. Crowe respecting proposed Anglo-Japanese Convention for Mutual Protection of Trade-marks in China.\n\nWITH reference to the instructions given me in the minutes on Paper 15662 of the 27th April, I seized the opportunity of my visit to various chambers of commerce in this country to discuss with them the proposed Anglo-Japanese convention for the mutual protection of trade-marks in China. In London and in Manchester I was able to go into the matter with the special trade-marks committees, while at other places it was individual firms who expressed their views. The letters which have been addressed to the Foreign Office by the China Association and many of the chambers of commerce make it clear that there is a consensus of opinion that British firms dealing with China would be better off without any convention at all than with one which only affords protection to registered marks. They do not, however, all of them show the reasoning which led up to this decision, and it was only after considerable discussion that I was able to elicit from the merchants why they held this view. The two firms who expressed themselves most clearly and whose opinions are of particular interest, seeing that their marks are actually registered in Japan, were Messrs. Crossfield and Sons, soap manufacturers, of Liverpool, and Messrs. John Shaw and Sons, woollen manufacturers, of Halifax.\n\nTheir chief point is that at present when a Japanese imitates a mark and sells the goods bearing it to Chinese retailers, the British trade-mark owners are able to obtain satisfaction and to get a proclamation issued restraining the Chinese from using the mark. They admit that they are not at present legally enabled to take proceedings against the Japanese pirate in China, but they consider it more important to be able to proceed against the Chinese retailer than against the original Japanese pirate. I am not aware that there is any particular law which compels the Chinese authorities to take action in these cases, but, at any rate, a precedent has been established which can be invoked when necessary. The British merchants are afraid that if a convention is concluded which only recognises registered marks, the Chinese authorities may be persuaded by the Japanese Foreign Office to alter their procedure on the ground that the existing precedents do not apply any longer.\n\nThere appears to be no question that the number of British marks in use in China which are not only not registered, but which are incapable of registration, is very large. I am informed that it was for this same reason that it was found to be impossible to have a Trade-marks Act in India, and that recourse for protection is there confined to the Indian Merchandise Marks Act. It would seem that in China also it will be absolutely essential to afford some sort of protection to well-established but unregistered marks. The fact that we have not got any such arrangement with other important countries was carefully explained by me, but the British merchants and manufacturers appear to have a particular dread of the Japanese, who, from their proximity and their ability to get into closer touch with the Chinese retailer, are very dangerous rivals; and consequently they will not look at what has been done in past cases with other countries as any guide for the future.\n\nAlthough all are agreed that it is better to have no convention than one without protection for unregistered marks, there are two opposing schools, one of which, represented by the Manchester and Liverpool Chambers, would be satisfied with the second paragraph of article 1 of the counter-draft (the Herschell clause), while the other thinks that salvation is only to be found in the draft convention based on Sir F. Lugard's proposal. The arguments on both sides will be found in the minutes of the meetings with the London and Manchester Chambers of Commerce which I have attached hereto. I would venture to suggest that the best solution of this difficult problem would be to add the following words at the end of the Herschell clause: \"And the high contracting parties agree that all disputes arising as to the right to use in China any such figures, words, or marks, or arrangements or combination thereof, shall be decided solely on the grounds of priority of user in China.\"\n\n[2068g-3]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435833, "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": "CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 43, "title": "CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "At the same time it seems to me that in view of the recent opinion of the Law Officers that subjects of British colonies are entitled to the benefits of a convention to which the colonies in question have not adhered—unless there is some definite provision to the contrary—it would be advisable to omit article 3. According to the Law Officers' opinion, subjects of our colonies would be entitled to the benefits of this convention even without article 3, whereas the fact of its inclusion in this agreement might weaken our case if we were to claim the benefits of the new treaty of commerce and navigation for subjects of non-adhering colonies, seeing that there is no article corresponding to this article 3 in that treaty. In case it should, however, be decided to retain the article, the insertion of the word \"dominions\" before \"colonies\" should be considered.\n\nFurthermore, as the leased territories of Wei-hai Wei and Kwangtung are now covered by the new treaty, it seems doubtful whether we require draft article 4, an article the utility of which was never very apparent.\n\nTo sum up, therefore, I would suggest that the proposed counter-draft should be altered by the addition to article 1 of certain words above-mentioned, and by the omission of articles 3 and 4, and that instructions should then be given to His Majesty's representative in Tokyo to present the said counter-draft to the Japanese Government, while informing him at the same time that His Majesty's Government would prefer to have no convention at all rather than one which only afforded protection to marks registered in the appropriate office of the other contracting party.\n\nForeign Office, June 7, 1911.\n\nDear Sir,\n\nEnclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nLondon Chamber of Commerce to Mr. Crowe.\n\nOxford Court, Cannon Street, London, May 25, 1911.\n\nI HAVE, as arranged with you, submitted your summary of the discussion on the proposed Anglo-Japanese Trade-mark Convention between the members of the trade-marks section and yourself, to the chairman of that section, Mr. J.

Crowe of Discussion with Members of the Patents, Trade-marks, and Designs Section of the London Chamber of Commerce, on Tuesday, May 16, 1911.\n\nTHE patents, trade-marks, and designs section of the London Chamber of Commerce are afraid that if the convention is signed in the form at present proposed, Japanese subjects would obtain rights which would be valuable to them in the event Chinese trade-mark regulations being enforced in China. The point they make is that if a Japanese took a mark, which was similar to a British mark, and registered it in Japan, the mark being one which was unregistrable in England or in China, the Japanese by virtue of his registration in Japan and by virtue of the convention, would have a right to registration in China prior to that of the British firm who had invented the mark, and had used it for years in China, but had been unable to register it in England.\n\n42\n\nThey say they would only consider the convention in its present form acceptable if it were accompanied by a clear undertaking from the Japanese Government that the conclusion of the convention was not to affect the fact that in the event of trade-mark regulations being enforced in China, all disputes arising as to the right of registration were to be decided solely on the ground of priority of user in China.\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nJoint Meeting of the China and Far East Committee and Members of the Trade and Merchandise Marks Committee held on Thursday, May 25, 1911, at 3 P.M.\n\nPRESENT: Mr. Francis Ashworth, in the chair; Mr. E. F. Crowe, His Britannic Majesty's Commercial Attaché for Japan; Mr. W. T. Stubbs, President; Sir F. Forbes Adam, C.I.E.; Mr. Charles Dent; Mr. J. R. Finlayson; Mr. Frank Garnett; Mr. E. L. Hoyle; Mr. F. P. Nathan; and Mr. W. J. Robertson with Mr. J. W. Madders.\n\nApologies for absence were received from Mr. M. S. Bles, Mr. Alfred Crewdson, Mr. A. K. Davies, Mr. Gustav Eckhard, and Mr. R. J. Kerr.\n\nMr. Ashworth introduced Mr. Crowe to the committee, who referred to correspondence between the Chamber, the China Association, and the Foreign Office, on the proposed Anglo-Japanese Trade-marks Convention, and in particular to a letter, dated the 13th May, from the Chamber to the department, in which the Chamber's views on Sir F. Lugard's draft convention and the alternative counter-draft convention were stated as follows:-\n\n\"As in your view it is inadvisable to put forward Sir F. Lugard's proposal, owing to various difficulties, the Chamber are of opinion that the second paragraph of the counter-draft convention would afford adequate protection to unregistered marks for which claims based on length of user can be established—always provided that the same construction is put upon its language in both British and Japanese consular courts in China, as in this country is placed upon the similar clause in the Imperial Merchandise Marks Act of 1887 (section 3 (2)), which gives an unregistered owner, who can prove his ownership by establishing the fact of sole user, complete protection. Failing conventional protection for unregistered marks, in terms adequately explicit, the Manchester Chamber would prefer not to have any convention.\"\n\nReferred to letter of the 26th April, from the China Association to the Foreign Office, in which they approved Sir F. Lugard's draft, but stated that they did not agree with the Manchester Chamber that the amended counter-draft would be satisfactory, even with the inclusion of the second paragraph of article 1, as, though the wording of the latter might be interpreted by a British court, so as to afford protection to any marks or combination of marks established by long user, \"the terms are not sufficiently explicit to justify a belief that such interpretation would prevail in a Japanese court in China.\"\n\nMr. Crowe reported that he had had an interview with the London Chamber, who had stated that they objected to the conclusion of a convention with Japan for the protection in China of Japanese marks registered in Great Britain and vice versa, because they considered that if China subsequently constituted arrangements for the protection of trade-marks, it would be difficult to object to the Japanese contention that any Japanese who had wrongfully registered in Japan a British mark—of which the British ownership had been acquired by user only—was entitled to protection in China, as against the British owner. Mr. Crowe had pointed out that even now there was nothing to prevent a Japanese from registering a mark in Japan if the mark was only used in China by its British owners and not in Japan—provided, of course, that the mark did not contravene the Japanese law—so that the conclusion of the convention would not give Japanese pirates any rights in Japan which they had not enjoyed before. Consequently he did not himself personally agree with the contention of the London Chamber, but he wished to lay it before the Manchester Chamber to see whether it in any way altered their former opinion. In reply, the committee confirmed the opinion, as previously expressed in their letter of the 13th May to the Foreign Office.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 435834, "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": "CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-385 - Public Offices - 1911", "content_text": "Mr. Crowe enquired why the Manchester Chamber would prefer no convention at all to the draft convention, without adequate protection for unregistered marks. Sir F. Forbes Adam answered that without this protection the remaining provisions of the convention would probably place Great Britain at a greater disadvantage than at present, since it would naturally be inferred that, as a convention has been executed without reference to \"user\" marks, this country attached no importance to them.\n\nMr. Crowe pointed out that, in the event of either Japanese or British subjects seeking the aid of the consular courts in China for the protection of registered marks, it must be predicated that the Japanese owner had registered in Great Britain, in which event the case would be tried in the British consular court and vice versa that the British owner had registered in Japan, in which event the case would be tried in the Japanese consular court.\n\nMr. Crowe explained why it was unlikely that Sir F. Lugard's draft convention would be accepted by the Japanese Government. He said that it was a matter of some delicacy to urge the Japanese to provide for protection for unregistered owners in China, seeing that in all our other arrangements and in the arrangements between Japan and America and Japan and France, only registered marks were protected. The inference drawn would be that we could not trust the Japanese as far as we were prepared to trust other nations, or even as far as other nations trusted the Japanese.\n\nAnglo-Japanese Commercial Treaty.\n\nWith reference to the provision in the Japanese tariff that \"the number of threads constituting the tissues shall be counted by elementary threads in the part where the greatest number of threads are used,\" Mr. Crowe said that he understood that a selvedge would not count, but a border would.\n\nThe committee agreed to Mr. Crowe's suggestion that, in the event of the Japanese consumption tax being officially discussed, the most equitable method of assessment would be as follows:-\n\n1. As regards imported goods, to add two-thirds of import duty where the import duty was equivalent to 15 per cent. ad valorem to invoice value of the grey goods (before addition of import duty).\n\n2. As regards Japanese productions, to add an ad valorem tax of 10 per cent.\n\nVote of Thanks.\n\nOn the motion of the chairman, seconded by the president, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Crowe for his attendance and advice.\n\n0\n\nC O\n\nJAPAN.\n\n33739\n\n[June 19.]\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\nRECR\n\nREGS 19 OCT 11\n\nSECTION 1.\n\n[23440]\n\nSir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\nForeign Office to Board of Trade,\n\n43\n\nAs the Board of Trade are aware, an informal meeting was held at the Colonial Foreign Office, June 19, 1911.

Since then the various Chambers of Commerce, with whom the association communicated on the subject, have expressed themselves as opposed in a convention other than that suggested by the Governor of Hong Kong at the meeting more or less degree to any of the 26th July already referred to. In this opinion the China Association have expressed their concurrence in the letter forwarded to you by this department on the 26th April last.\n\nBefore taking further action in the matter it was considered advisable that Mr. E.

Lugard.\n\nIn face of the almost unanimous opinion of those interested in the trade with China, expressed in the correspondence alluded to, the Board think that it would be of\n\nlittle advantage for His Majesty's Government to conclude\n\na Convention with Japan providing protection for registered\n\ntrade marks only. It is clear that by so doing they would\n\nbe dealing with only a small portion of the valuable commercial rights in respect of marks which have grown up in\n\nChina. In addition, the Board think that there is force\n\nin the contention advanced from various quarters that a\n\nlimitation\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nFOREIGN OFFICE.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-386 - Public Offices & Others - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 436278, "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": "CO129-386 - Public Offices & Others - 1911", "page_number": 110, "title": "CO129-386 - Public Offices & Others - 1911", "content_text": "108\n\nFOL\n\nobb al ravi:\n\nDerede igen!\n\nnhiw regel, a betel or doubt weta ».\n\nset fel,ura orta tu veely ci dan\n\nHoldfend Jano chat:\n\nnike rent s03 of al\n\nSo I ploténk to 5 damantay ni nelairen nuddard woldman\n\nreiden vais deg of abnaða ef an dieth-rodust debint an\n\nva xat os sluit vid to I destaci\n\nDhulden.

If therefore, Japanese law does not afford Japanese subjects any redress for the unauthorised use of an unregistered mark, the Convention would clearly be useless to the British owners of unregistered marks. What is wanted is a provision by which each country would be bound to give an effective protection in China to unregistered marks belonging to the subjects of the other, whether legal provision for such protection exists at the present moment in Japan or not.\n\nMr Crowe, in his Memorandum sent with your letter of the 19th June, makes a suggestion to the effect that priority of user should be the deciding factor in disputes arising as to the right to use in China any such figures, words, or marks, etc., as are referred to in the existing paragraph 2 of the counter-draft. On the whole, however, the Board are disposed to suggest the omission of this paragraph and the substitution for it of a paragraph on the lines of Article 1 of Sir F. Lugard's draft. The Board recognise that this amounts to a new proposal, but they would point out that some time has elapsed since the original negotiations were commenced, that the question of unregistered marks received prolonged consideration at the recent Industrial Property Conference, and that in these circumstances it is possible that the Japanese Government may now be inclined to give more favourable consideration to this suggestion than previous discussions with them would appear to indicate.\n\nIf they decline to conclude an arrangement on this line further consideration must be given to the matter with a view to the possibility of satisfactorily amending paragraph 2", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-386 - Public Offices & Others - 1911.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 436279, "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": "CO129-386 - Public Offices & Others - 1911", "page_number": 111, "title": "CO129-386 - Public Offices & Others - 1911", "content_text": "881\n\n109\n\nAqqka mi bor jeab u lee\" le dos do' selalu on reseto nige od fornuth 10 to 1 MONG YOU A od nd woest Mileklovan tani, 200 ezt zogja bengale sad amid 079 Laixtaubal Jersey\n\nvrýnallur of wers a 1 Toor und? adle buolaun of Article 1 of the Counter-draft as it at present stands.\n\nIt is clear, however, that this question of unregistered marks is at the root of the whole mattor, and that, if no satisfactory arrangement can be effected regarding it, the negotiations for the Convention cannot proceed.\n\nThe Board agree to Sir Crowe's suggestion that Article 3 of the counter-draft might be quitted.\n\nAs to Article 4, this was retained from the draft Convention between Japan and France which was submitted to His Majesty's Government by the former as a basis for negotiation. It was thought that the Japanese might attach importance to it, and it seemed on the whole unobjectionable. There is no objection, however, on the part of the Board of Trade to its omission, but the question of its inclusion, as also the question as to Article 3 referred to above, is one upon which the Colonial Office would probably desire to be consulted.\n\nI am to enclose a revised Counter-Draft of Convention which, if Sir E.

It is also established that the number of British marks used in China, which are not only not registered but are incapable of registration, is very large.\n\nThe argument of the British Merchants, set out in the second paragraph of Mr. Crowe's memorandum, endorses the argument in paragraph 12 of my last minute, that it is better to have no convention and to proceed against the Chinese retailer than to have a convention which may induce the Chinese Authorities to alter their procedure. Mr. Crowe states that he is not aware that there is any particular law which compels the Chinese Authorities to take action in the case of Chinese retailers who sell goods bearing pirated British marks; but Article VII of the Supplementary Commercial Treaty seems to cover the ground, that \"the Chinese Government undertake to afford protection to British trade marks against infringement, imitation, or colourable imitation by Chinese subjects\".\n\n3.\n\nMr. Crowe goes on to say that there are two opposing schools, one of which would be satisfied with the second paragraph of Article I of the Counter-draft, while the other will have nothing less than the draft based upon Sir F. Lugard's proposal; and he adds that the arguments on both sides will be found in the minutes attached. It appears to me, after a careful perusal of those minutes, that there is no such opposition, but that the views of both sides are in reality identical.\n\n4.\n\nThe London Chamber would make it a fundamental condition of any convention that all disputes in connection not only with registrable trade marks but also with trade names and trade descriptions should be decided solely on the ground of priority of user in China. That is to say, they support Sir F. Lugard's draft with a wider definition of mark, such for instance as that suggested in paragraph 11 of my last minute.

Lugard's proposal, on the ground that the Secretary of State did not think it advisable to put it forward, and that supported the second paragraph of the counter-draft; but they immediately add the proviso that they can accept the second paragraph only if it is interpreted to bear exactly the same meaning as the wider interpretation of Sir F. Lugard's proposal. \"Failing conventional protection for unregistered marks, in terms adequately explicit, the Manchester Chamber would prefer not to have any convention\".\n\n5.\n\nMr. Crowe informed the Manchester Chamber that the London Chamber objected to the conclusion of a convention because they considered that, if China subsequently constituted arrangements for the protection of trade marks, it would be difficult to object to the Japanese contention that any Japanese who had wrongfully registered in Japan a British mark of which the British ownership had been acquired by user only was entitled to protection in China, as against the British owner. Mr. Crowe, in reply to this argument of the London Chamber, pointed out that even now there was nothing to prevent a Japanese from registering in Japan a British mark which was used by its British owners only in China and not in Japan, so that the conclusion of the convention would not give Japanese pirates any rights in Japan which they did not enjoy before. Consequently Mr. Crowe did not agree with the contention of the London Chamber.\n\n6.\n\nI submit that Mr. Crowe has missed the point of the London Chamber's argument. With or without a convention a Japanese can register a British mark in Japan and in course of time he obtains the exclusive right to its use in Japan. At the present time he may put goods under this mark on the Chinese market, but the British Merchant if he can prove his right to the mark, has a remedy against the Chinese retailers. If the convention is signed the situation as far as pirating in Japan is concerned would remain unchanged; but as regards China Great Britain would have agreed to respect the marks of Japan registered in Great Britain and Japan would have agreed to respect the marks of Great Britain registered in Japan. The inference would be that the marks of Great Britain which were not registered in Japan were not entitled to protection in China against Japanese infringers,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-388 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1912 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 436965, "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": "CO129-388 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1912 [1-2]", "page_number": 20, "title": "CO129-388 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1912 [1-2]", "content_text": "It appears that the initial part of the text is garbled and does not make sense.

Yet further, if a Japanese pirate had acquired in Japan the right to a British trade mark, he would, under the convention, be in a position in all probability to establish his right to it in China as against the British owner.\n\nThe Manchester Chamber, after hearing Mr. Crowe's argument, confirm their letter of the 13th. Say that, unless unregistered marks are properly protected, they would prefer not to have a convention.\n\nIn England property in a trade mark or description is acquired by user, in Japan such property is apparently conferred by process of law; and as long as this fundamental difference exists it would seem to be impossible to frame a convention which would be satisfactory both to the British and to the Japanese merchant.\n\n12th December, 1911.\n\n(Signed) M.

Colonial Secretary, Enclosure 2. CO 3502 Jet 3 FEB 12\n\nThe reply to the contention suggested by His Excellency may perhaps be partly found in the last paragraph of the minutes of Mr. Crowe's conference with the Manchester Chamber. \"Mr. Crowe explained why it was unlikely that Sir F. Lugard's draft convention would be accepted by the Japanese Government. He said that it was a matter of some delicacy to urge the Japanese to provide for protection for unregistered owners in China, seeing that in all our other arrangements and in the arrangements between Japan and America, Japan and France, only registered marks were protected. The inference drawn would be that we could not trust the Japanese as far as we were prepared to trust other nations, or even as far as other nations trusted the Japanese*.\n\nIt is undoubtedly the fact that the British merchant does not trust the Japanese merchant as far as he trusts merchants of other nations. Long experience of the give and take of international commerce has, I suggest, confirmed in the mind of the British merchant the conclusion that, generally speaking, the European nations and America are, to borrow the words of the preamble to the Convention of 1883, \"equally animated with the desire to secure by mutual agreement complete and effectual protection for the industry and commerce of their respective subjects and citizens, and to provide a guarantee for the rights of inventors, and for the loyalty of commercial transactions\". But he has not the same confidence in the case of Japan. Japanese participation in international trade is of very recent origin. The Japanese merchant only a few years ago woke to the value of trade marks and names, and, having no old established ones of his own, he proceeded to pirate marks of foreign merchants in order to sell his goods more readily.

Mr. Little, who had arrived in the Colony on the 6th May, 1904, resigned his appointment on account of private affairs on the 23rd February, 1907, and steps were taken to obtain a successor from England. Mr. Little however applied for re-appointment which was granted and he arrived back in the Colony on the 22nd September, 1907. He ultimately resigned his appointment on the 31st October, 1909, in order to start private practice in the Colony. Mr. Wright, who arrived in the Colony on the 15th July, 1903, continued with Mr. Fisher until the 7th October, 1908, when, in consequence of the constant complaints made by Mr. Fisher regarding him, I transferred him to the Buildings Ordinance Office in which a vacancy arose. I may add that I have found Mr. Wright a most efficient, conscientious and qualified officer and that he carries on the duties of the B.O. Office, of which he is now in charge,\n\nin a most satisfactory manner.\n\nI would point out that Mr. Fisher was absent on leave for 6 months during March to September, 1908, and that, during his absence, his two assistants (Messrs. Wright and Little) were able to carry on all the works under his charge in an efficient manner.\n\nI would further point out that, about the middle of 1907, Mr. Fisher voluntarily undertook to design and supervise, on behalf of the College of Medicine, a School of Anatomy. This was entirely outside his official duties.\n\nOn the 20th February, 1909, Mr. Fisher applied for additional assistance and I submitted his letter to Government with particulars of the works he had in hand. I stated that I thought that he and his Assistant (Mr. Little) should be able to overtake the work then in hand and I pointed out that he had voluntarily undertaken the design of the School of Anatomy, which he might have declined if he found his official duties so onerous as he represented. His application was refused by Government.\n\nOn the 14th April, 1909, Mr. Fisher addressed a", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 439729, "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": "CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12]", "page_number": 221, "title": "CO129-394 - Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1912 [12]", "content_text": "Page 215\n\n1\n\nMAJ 473 Nui giu, ni Develquo ster Jeans medeo\" jos sult10\n\nki 21 cuba men YouthIoV\n\nduit pia ina bum brejki oved od\n\nwu.

Fisher. None of the other Executive Engineers have ever complained of insufficient power being delegated to them nor of undue interference with them in the performance of their duties.\n\nParagraph 11 (c). The procedure recommended is that at present carried out in the case of works designed and executed by the officers of the Department. I do not however see how any bill of quantities can be guaranteed as correct. Engineers are not infallible, nor is it possible to prepare beforehand exact details of everything required in the execution of any work.\n\nParagraph 11 (d). The employment of a trained measuring staff is open to objection as the responsibility for the accuracy of the quantities and estimate is thereby divided. No one should be more capable of taking out the quantities for any work than the engineer who has designed it and who must know what he wants. There are many offices in England in which large works are designed and carried out, where the quantities are measured by the engineer who designs the work.\n\nParagraph 11 (e). I can see no advantage in the arrangement proposed. Very few of the Contractors with whom this Department has to deal are capable of preparing such statements and the time of officers would be wasted in endeavouring to verify inaccurate statements. As the Engineers must go through the quantities in order to check the bills, it should be simpler for them to prepare such bills themselves.\n\nParagraph 11 (f). The statements prepared generally contain all the information suggested with the exception of the amount of the Contract, which can be easily inserted.\n\n16th October, 1912.\n\n(Sd.) W.

Way stating that the Governor of Macao was excitable and difficult to deal with, which was read by Mr. A. Crowe to Monsieur Gomez during a recent interview. Mr. Crowe added that it looked as if the Governor had lost his head over the Piracy question. There seems no reason to suppose that...\n\nC.

Jordan on the subject of my appointment had a very different object in view. I was anxious to remove from his mind an opinion on the subject of such appointments which \n\nhe had expressed at our first interview that the time for \n\nAdvisers had not arrived, and that they would involve an unnecessary expenditure, which he was instructed not to encourage. This seemed to me an opinion which would be prejudicial to the interests of China should Sir J. Jordan advise the Government in that sense, and one which would be also prejudicial to my own interests, leading him to oppose my appointment were he approached on the subject; I endeavoured therefore to get him to take a broader view of the question, more especially after Dr. Morrison's appointment, when I pointed out that the time for the appointment of a Legal Adviser had most certainly arrived. The only direct request which I made to Sir J. Jordan was for an introduction to the then Premier soon after my arrival; but on his pointing out to me that his instructions did not permit it as it would appear as if he was supporting me I immediately withdrew my request. \n\n7. \n\nWith regard to the instructions to Sir J. Jordan the despatch under reply omits to refer to the fact to which I took and still take most serious objection. When I first saw Sir J. Jordan his instructions appear to have been general; but they were followed by others personal to myself, which were apparently sent out soon after I left Hongkong, for they were referred to by Sir J. Jordan as \"recent\". In the circumstances connected with my probable (not \"hypothetical\") appointment they can only be called secret instructions. In those circumstances I was entitled by every principle of fair dealing to know of them at once; and it is much to be regretted \n\n## Home \n## India \n## Med \n## Part \n\nDE A", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 441461, "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": "CO129-397 - Public Offices & Others - 1912", "page_number": 225, "title": "CO129-397 - Public Offices & Others - 1912", "content_text": "## East London Hospital for Children and Dispensary for Women, Shadwell, E.\n\nOctober 19th 1909.\n\nMiss Winifred Everingham was a nurse in this Hospital from January 1899 to February 1903, and was granted a certificate for satisfactory work.\n\nShe had a good knowledge of the theory and practice of the nursing of sick children, was thoroughly interested in her patients, and conscientious in carrying out orders.

All counterfoil books are brought up to the Assistant Harbour Master's room at 4.30 p.m. daily (12.15 on Saturdays), together with all three shroffs' collection books. The counterfoils are then compared with the entries in the collection books. The money collected during the day by the Junk Office Shroffs is paid to the Office shroff, who signs for it, and credits the sums so paid to them in his collection book. The total appearing in the latter is carried on to the next day, and the money locked up in the strong room, of which the office shroff holds one key and Mr. Lenfestey the other, so that neither can open the door without the other. At noon the next day the money, together with that collected that morning, which is also carefully checked by the Assistant Harbour Master or by me, is paid into the Bank. This method appeared to me absolutely to shut out the possibility of dishonesty, such a thing as forgery never occurring to me, as being possible, as it would seem bound to be discovered at once. The forgeries are certainly extremely good imitations of Mr. Jones's initials.\n\n2. It is the duty of the clerks in the junk office to fill in both foil and counterfoil, and date them, then handing the book to the shroff sitting next to him, for collection, the book is then handed to Mr. Lenfestey for signature, and the foil then detached and handed to the applicant by the clerk who filled it in.\n\n3. Then Mr. Chan Fui, late clerk, joined the Department in 1905, Captain Barnes Lawrence instructed him to check the junk office accounts daily, and this was carried out up to the time that I went home on leave. While I was away Commander Backwith issued a memo. which Mr. Chan Fui held, relieved him from that duty. I fail to see that it does so, and, as a matter of fact, he did not discontinue the scrutiny, for I have myself seen him going through those books since I returned from leave, and was therefore satisfied that the practice was still maintained.

In this Colony violent raine and the ravages of white ants necessarily involve a great deal of work in connection with keeping reads and build- -ings in good order, while typhoons such as those of 1906 and 1908 practically double the work of the maintenance staff for several\n\nmonths.\n\n6.\n\nSummary\n\nHaving dealt in detail with the various points referred to me I may summarise my conclusions as follows:-\n\nI. The Engineering Staff is fully occupied and cannot be reduced unless the work to be done according to the estimates is\n\nreduced.\n\nII. The Survey Staff is dealing efficiently with the work in hand and is gradually overtaking arrears. A triangulation of the Island is essential but cannot yet be undertaken by the existing\n\nstaff.\n\nIII.\n\nIV.\n\nThe Overseer Staff is barely adequate.\n\nThe annual expenditure on maintenance of Buildings and\n\nRoads cannot be reduced.\n\nHongkong, 12th.

The contrary is the case. They have always been and still are most cordial. It is of course my business that they should be maintained on that footing both in peace and war.\n\nAt the same time it is right that you should know that some regrettable incidents have occurred, springing from a misconception on the part of many military officers in the Colony and of Major General Kelly himself as to the effect of the Order-in-Council of October 1896, concerning the interpretation of Clause 3(1) of which I have found it necessary to address the Secretary of State officially.\n\nAt first General Kelly and his merry men took the view that the Order-in-Council constituted a declaration of Martial Law, and the General himself wrote to me that under \"Martial Law\" I could fix the price of some barbed wire his Chief Engineer had bought without going through the formalities prescribed in the Order-in-Council. It was not till I sat down and wrote out a Memorandum explaining what is meant by Martial Law that the false position taken up was abandoned. The Military Authorities then fell back on the position they are now\n\nLEX A.L\n\nIntere) yentTOJJA\n\nMIEI, JI, IS\n\n.ba\n\nPage 812\n\n \n(To be continued on next page)\n\nPage 812\n\n(Continued from previous page)\n\n(No text is given here, so the above continuation lines are kept as is)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 449449, "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": "CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11]", "page_number": 131, "title": "CO129-414 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [10-11]", "content_text": "Arnhold Karberg & Co.\n\nBlackhead & Co.\n\nCarl Bodiker & Co.\n\nBume & Reif\n\nCarlowitz & Co.\n\nGaupp & Co.\n\nKruse & Co.\n\n131\n\nMelchers & Co.\n\nMeyerink & Co.\n\nRadecker & Co.\n\nSander, Wieler & Co.\n\nSiemseen & Co.\n\n(Struckmeyer, Hessrs.Siemssen & Co.)\n\nWendt & Co.\n\nBerblinger & Co.\n\nGarrels, Borner & Co.\n\nHongkongs and personal affairs of Mr. C.

I think that trading with branches here of firms which have their head office in the German Empire is on the same footing as trading direct with persons resident in the German Empire, and that contracts with such branches, entered into after the commencement of the war, are criminal in all cases where they would be criminal if entered into directly with the head office in the German Empire. Supplying goods to the branch for the general business of the firm would be supplying goods to the firm in enemy territory, and a contract entered into by the branch on behalf of the firm would be a contract \"with or for the benefit of (a) person resident, carrying on business (and) being in the said Empire\". References therefore below to the German Empire in discussing what transactions are criminal and what are not must be taken as referring also to branches here of firms domiciled in the German Empire.\n\n11. Trading with an enemy subject who has a purely local business here and is not in the employment of a firm domiciled in the German Empire is not in itself prohibited.\n\n12. It would however be an offence to supply to or obtain from such local trader any goods destined for or coming from the German Empire (see the 5th para. of the Proclamation), and it would probably be an offence to supply him with goods or to obtain goods from him if it were notorious that he was merely a means of transmitting such goods between the enemy country and Hongkong.\n\n13. It must not be forgotten that such enemy subject, trading here on his own account, would himself be committing an offence if he were to enter into contracts with firms in the German Empire.\n\n14. A special case is that of agencies held here by local firms for firms in the German Empire. It would seem that such agencies are dissolved ipso facto by the war, and in any event they would come within the general rules stated below with regard...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-421 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [3-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 453745, "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": "CO129-421 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [3-4]", "page_number": 531, "title": "CO129-421 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [3-4]", "content_text": "# COPY \n## TELEGRAM \n### C.O *19186 \n525 \n26 APR 15 \n(26th April, 1915) \n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n(Received, Colonial Office, 11.27 a.m., 6.15463)\n\nYour telegram 6th April.

At Foochow the German campaign has been more successful, thanks to the activity of the German consul and the pro-German tendencies of his intimate friend, the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and His Majesty's consul reports that Germany is obviously regarded as the nation which is to rescue China from the wolves which are tearing her to pieces.\" At Amoy on the other hand, where, as at Foochow, fears of Japanese aggression might have been expected to assist a German propaganda, the general feeling among the educated classes is a fear as to the effect of the war on trade, and the possibility of China being embroiled, while the masses feel an amused satisfaction that the Powers, who, they are told, are always united at China's throat, should now be grappling with each other.\" An attempt to stir up a pro-German feeling by the dissemination of highly-coloured pamphlets has met with no success. At Tsinan-fu the Japanese proved themselves the more skilful organisers of a press campaign, and they received effective support from His Majesty's consul, who showed great initiative and energy in obtaining the dissemination of Reuter's telegrams. Mr. Pratt's account of the general situation in Shantung during the past quarter is of special interest, and is therefore enclosed in extenso. In Yunnan, where mutiny and rebellion have been so common for years past as scarcely to excite comment, stories of mutiny in India are readily believed, though His Majesty's consul-general at Chengtu has been at pains to deny them.\n\nVarious circumstances have contributed to the success of the German press campaign in Western China; the withdrawal of the French missionaries recalled to the colours has naturally given rise to a crop of rumours, and the German scientific expedition, which is now travelling in Western Szechuan, has industriously spread every kind of story, while the two German professors at Chengtu have spared no effort to disseminate glowing accounts of German victories in Europe. In the attack on Tsingtao an analogy has been found to the violation of Belgian neutrality, and it is freely argued that China should declare war on Japan for the same reason that Belgium is fighting Germany. There is no doubt that it would require no official encouragement to make an anti-Japanese policy on the part of the Government extremely popular.\" On the other hand, the command of the Dalai Lama that prayers should be offered throughout Tibet for the success of the British arms has had considerable influence on the frontier tribesmen. It is satisfactory that His Majesty's consul-general should be able to report that the local authorities at Chengtu have shown every desire to adopt a reasonable and impartial attitude. At Pakhoi the German campaign is in the hands of the Keeler Mission, which issues a broadsheet every week. Mr. Toller reports that \"normally it is a religious tract pure and simple, but since the outbreak of the war it has become a local edition of the \"Ostasiatischer Lloyd.\" Its editing would seem to leave room for improvement: Saturday's issue can often be bought on Thursday, and occasionally it appears with such items of news as :- \"The Germans have defeated the ... Or the German ship has sunk the ... ship named ...,\" the task of filling up the blanks in the stereotyped formula having escaped the missionary's notice.\" At Chunking the unfortunate Chinese are asked to believe that \"the British fleet has been swept off the seas by the German warships.\" At Hankow the interest taken by the native population in the war is stated to be about as great as that which would be taken in a Tibetan border affray, and the same must be true of many other parts of China, as the subject of Chinese opinion or sympathies is not even mentioned in many of the quarterly reports.\n\nRecently, however, the Germans appear to have decided that China is a suitable field for an active campaign. The two or three Chinese papers published at Peking, which are known to be partly or wholly German owned, have published many virulent attacks on Great Britain, a favourite theme naturally being the contrast between the attitude she adopted towards the violation of Belgian and Chinese neutrality. However, even these papers publish the official British telegrams and Reuter's telegrams, but in less prominent type than the German and with impertinent comments.\n\nIt is difficult to see what results it is hoped to achieve by this campaign. Chinese sympathy could only show itself in a practical form by an attempt to massacre Germany's foes, and in such a massacre the Germans could not hope to escape. As is pointed out in some of the consular reports, from the commercial point of view, the Chinese are confronted with the concrete fact that German trade has almost ceased to exist. They are therefore compelled to trade with those who can trade with them, whether or no they believe that Germany's foes will at some future date be swept off the face of the earth.\n\nAt the same time there is a possibility, which cannot be entirely disregarded, that the many factions in opposition to the President (who is known to lean on British support) may think the moment a favourable one to rebel, and hope to gain adherents from the fact that the educated classes have been led to believe that the President's main prop among the European nations is a broken reed.\n\nThe actual news issued by the \"Ostasiatischer Lloyd\" is a curious study. Occasionally this agency obtains information—notably in the case of the engagement off the coast of Chile two or three days before it is received from other sources; in other cases the news has every appearance of being Reuter's telegrams suitably \"decked out\" and expanded or minimised. Many of the \"telegrams\" which appear under a heading \"New York, November 1; Peking, November 3,\" almost must have been drafted here, but they do little credit to their author's intellectual capacity, and in some cases even reveal a deplorable ignorance of geography. Another remarkable point is that the \"Ostasiatischer Lloyd\" news bears little resemblance to that issued by wireless from Germany as reported in \"The Times.\" It is only occasionally that news is issued by the German Legation, and it has been observed that in cases where the statement is unusually inaccurate, the copy posted at the Peking Club sometimes bears the signature of the German Chargé d'Affaires. Reference has been made in the London press to the removal from the \"Peking Gazette\" of the English editor, Mr. Woodhead, for taking a too partial view of the war, and it may probably be traced to German influence, though it is impossible to speak with certainty. When the paper was founded rather over a year ago, a Mr. Eggerling, a British subject born of German parents in Scotland, informed Mr. Woodhead that he was the sole proprietor, and that the paper was in no sense under German influence. Subsequently shares were acquired by Chinese, of whom the most prominent is one Eugen Chen, an able man, who is on the roll of English solicitors, but cannot on that account be regarded as a friend; he has, indeed, on one occasion made a violent personal attack on His Majesty's Minister in another Peking paper. Prior to the outbreak of the war the editor had on several occasions criticised the policy of the French, Russian, and Japanese Legations with more vigour than discretion, and the general view held in Peking was that the paper was directly or indirectly under German influence. As the war progressed, Mr. Woodhead adopted a steadily more anti-German line, with the result that he found himself in conflict with Mr. Eggerling, who had not relinquished his position in the German Bank, and probably found himself subjected to considerable pressure. Mr. Woodhead, however, refused to change his tone, whereupon Mr. Eggerling transferred his interest in the paper to Eugen Chen, who promptly dismissed Mr. Woodhead on the ground that a strongly partisan attitude towards the European conflict cannot be held to be in conformity with the avowed policy of upholding the present régime in China and of maintaining an independent attitude towards the Governments of other Powers. This incident has been regarded by the German community as a marked success, but hitherto Eugen Chen, who has undertaken the editorship himself, has given no indication that he intends to run the paper in the interests of Germany, and indeed his comments on Mr. Asquith's Guildhall speech would not have excited adverse criticism had they appeared in any London paper.\n\nHe has, however, only been in control for three weeks, so that it is too early to judge whether he will really act on his public announcement that the paper will henceforth be conducted with the sole view of supporting Chinese interests and will discuss and report European questions in a perfectly impartial spirit. As regards the attitude of the official classes it is impossible to generalise more than to say that the President and his entourage have more sympathy with us than with our enemies, whereas the military classes who have come to some extent directly under German influence incline to the other side. Otherwise local conditions are the determining factor. With the fall of Tsingtao there is little danger of further serious violation of China's neutrality. During the past months many incidents have conclusively proved her inability to defend it, but whenever this Legation has called the Government's attention to any particular case, some serious effort has been made to meet our views, and we have every reason to be satisfied with the manner in which the Chinese Government has interpreted the duties of neutrality.\n\nThe general situation in the provinces, as portrayed in recent consular reports, has to some extent improved. Brigandage on a large scale has received a check in the disappearance of \"White Wolf,\" though small bands continue to flourish in most districts; mutinies of the troops have been less frequent in spite of the fact that the provincial authorities frequently enrol brigands in the army, even when they have been caught with arms in their hands. The only serious outbreak occurred at Kalgan and ...\n\n251\n\n1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-426 - Public Offices - 1915.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 457011, "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": "CO129-426 - Public Offices - 1915", "page_number": 327, "title": "CO129-426 - Public Offices - 1915", "content_text": "1\n\nIn any further communication on the subject, please quote No. 19777/15 And address— The Under-Secretary of State, Foreign Office.

Grey, to enclose, for your consideration, copies of four notes from the Swiss Minister (Papers (A), (B), (C), and (D)), and a Memorandum from the Italian Ambassador (Paper (E)), relative to the complaint made by them regarding the opening in Singapore of letters from Switzerland and Italy in transit, through the local British postal administration, to destinations in neutral territory.\n\nIt will be seen that M. Carlin and the Marquis Imperiali question the right of His Majesty's Government to submit to censorship correspondence in transit from one country to another addressed to neutral countries, basing their contention on the Universal Postal Convention, 1906, Article 4, sub-section (1), which provides that \"The right of transit is guaranteed throughout the entire territory of the Union.\" The Italian Ambassador also cites Article 1 of The Hague Convention No. 11, 1907, which declares that, with certain irrelevant exceptions, \"The postal correspondence of neutrals or belligerents, whatever its official or private character, found at sea on board a neutral or enemy ship is inviolable.\"\n\nThe question of the rights of censorship possessed by His Majesty's Government, in the circumstances already described, forms the subject matter of a note from the Director of Military Operations (Paper (F)) and of a letter from the Secretary of the War Office (Paper (G)), copies of which are enclosed herewith. You will observe that the Director of Military Operations proposes to submit to censorship neutral correspondence from America of the kind which the Swiss Minister and the Italian Ambassador consider to be immune from interference under the provisions of international Agreements ratified by His Majesty's Government, and that the letter from Sir R. Brade (Paper (G)) contests the meaning placed upon the Article of the Universal Postal Convention cited by the Swiss Minister, and quotes Articles 2 and 16 of the same Convention in support of the views held by the Army Council.\n\nA similar question arose during the Boer War. In pursuance of the Martial Law Regulations which were in force in Cape Colony, the military authorities were in the habit of opening correspondence in transit to German South-West Africa. The German Government objected to the practice, and the question whether it was consistent with the Postal Convention then in force was submitted to the Law Officers. Copies of the note received from the German Ambassador on the 5th March, 1902 (Paper (H)), and a note submitted by the Dutch Minister on the 18th March, 1902 (Paper (I)), which were submitted to the Law Officers, are enclosed herewith. Your predecessors reported on the 31st March, 1902, that letters transmitted under the Convention were liable to examination in the same way as other letters, and that the provisions of the Convention must be regarded as applicable to a state of peace. A copy of the opinion is enclosed for convenience of reference (Paper (J)).\n\nSince that date the Postal Convention of 1906 has replaced the previous Convention, but the provisions relating to this question have not undergone material change.\n\nIn view of the opinions now expressed by the Italian Ambassador and the Swiss Minister, and the importance of the principle at stake, Sir E. Grey would be glad if you will take the enclosed papers into consideration and favour him with your opinion whether His Majesty's Government possess the right to submit to censorship correspondence passing in transit between neutral countries through British postal administrations.\n\nSir E. Grey would also be glad to be favoured with any observations of a general nature which you may be good enough to offer.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n[260-2]\n\nEYRE A.

Bitzer applied on behalf of the Basel Mission, which is a German Swiss organisation carrying on missionary work on a large scale in the Kwangtung Province, to their Agents in Hong Kong, Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews, for certain funds, on deposit in the Chartered and Hong Kong and Shanghai Banks, to be remitted to him for the support of the seventy European Missionaries and their two hundred Chinese assistants at present working in the Province.\n\n2. My legal adviser agreed with me that there was no objection to acceding to this reasonable request, and I therefore authorized Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews to remit the sum of $5,000 to the Reverend C. Bitzer and to intimate to him that he might renew his application for an additional sum or sums later on.\n\n3. I have no reason to doubt that the Secretary of State for the Colonies would approve my action in this matter. I do not therefore propose to trouble him with what would necessarily be a long and expensive telegram on the subject. But I will, if Your Excellency wishes it, send a copy of your letter to him.\n\n4. I may add that the Secretary of State for the Colonies is aware that while members of the Basel Mission were resident in Hong Kong this Government permitted them to draw upon their funds in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank for their support.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour Excellency's most obedient Servant,\n\n(Signed) F.H.

How that the Proclamation of June 25th has got into working order, there seems a reasonable chance of being able to destroy to a considerable ex- tent German trade in neutral countries in the Far East\n\nMoreover experience has shown, I think, the great desirability of crippling the German commercial machine as far as possible for the future, not only in order to benefit our own commerce, but in order to put an end to the military and political effects w ich Germany has\n\nbeen able to attain through her commercial system. In-\n\nso far as we can assist in the destruction of this system\n\nin the Far East by our scheme of liquidation, I think that we most certainly ought to do so. At the same time I still think it important that we should avoid anything which looks like confiscation, and confine ourselves, so\n\nfar as possible, to action which can be brought within the principle which we have frequently laid down, that we are conducting these liquidations for purposes of military necessity. I am afraid it is quite likely that the British liquidators of these German houses may be spinning out the liquidations for their own profit, and we know that the British manufacturers would in many cases be glad to see the German distributing agencies in the Far East surviving the war and beginning again to\n\nremarkable powe exercise energetically their excece as commercial\n\nI think therefore that we ought to\n\n? telegraph to the Gr vernor of Hong Kong as soon as pos-\n\nsible, pointing cut that although it is extremely desir-\n\nable to avoid anything which looks like confiscation; no action ought to be taken which will conduce to the preser vation of the enemy houses if it can be avoided consist-\n\nently with the principles laid down; that we consider therefore that liquidations should be accelerated as much\n\nas possible so long as the markets are not flooded, even though less satisfactory prices may be rest for stocks in consequence; that although good-will and buildings should not be sold, no action should be taken to preserve the latter beyond the minimum absolutely necessary to\n\nprevent deterioration of the fabric; that this minimum\n\nshould be paid for out of the balance of assets, if any,\n\nand where a firm is insolvent, should be met by the\n\nGovernment and subsequently made the subject of a claim\n\nagainst", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-430 - Others & Individuals - 1915.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 459268, "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": "CO129-430 - Others & Individuals - 1915", "page_number": 126, "title": "CO129-430 - Others & Individuals - 1915", "content_text": "Page 121\n\nThe British community do not want the German back in Hongkong\n\nready go start business again as soon as the war closes, with\n\ntheir business houses and workpeople all ready to hand, to\n\nmake a fresh start.

He took neither of these courses owing, as I am informed, to the lack of more than one supporter (the member nominated by the Chamber of Commerce) among the Unofficial Members. He, however, mentioned in his speech on the Bill that he would at a later date move for a Commission. I took the opportunity to suggest to him and to other Unofficial Members that before asking for a Commission they would do well to get into touch with the Honorary Visiting Physician and Honorary Visiting Surgeon of the Hospital and with two ladies at least in the Colony who have had experience of hospital nursing in other Colonies. I referred to Mrs. Churchill, wife of the First Assistant Director of Public Works, who was formerly matron of a large Government Hospital at Colombo and Miss Crowe, who was recently employed in a very large Government Hospital in British Guiana. I had an interview after the Council with Mr. Pollock, with whom my relations have always been quite friendly, and I gave him permission to visit the hospital and see with his own eyes the conditions there and to examine the books of the Storekeeper and Accountant, which he asked my leave to do. I warned him at the same time of the desirability of referring also to the Principal Civil Medical Officer and the persons alluded to above. At the same time I intimated to him that I could not accept a resolution for a Commission and that the idea of a Committee was impracticable since the Institution was under the supervision and general control of the Government.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, \nYour most obedient, humble servant, \nGovernor, &c.\n\nP.S.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 463837, "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": "CO129-436 - Acting Governor Claud Sever & Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1916 [11-12]", "page_number": 100, "title": "CO129-436 - Acting Governor Claud Sever & Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1916 [11-12]", "content_text": "# COPY\n\n## Confidential\n\n### Office of Commercial Attaché, British Consulate General, Yokohama\n4th November, 1918\n\nWith reference to your letter of 18th September, (Confidential) on the subject of the Siemens China Electrical Engineering Company, Ltd., I have the honour to enclose herewith copy of a letter which has been addressed to me by Messrs.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:- As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this.\n\nThat a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\n\nIt is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\n\nNow, gentlemen, I contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution.\n\nIt was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question. We claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct communication from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language. (Hear, hear.)\n\nIt has been said, it was said in Council, that the appeal made was largely one appeal based on sentiment, and was one which ignored economic facts. In the first place, gentlemen, it is impossible in connection with this war to ignore sentiment. (Applause.) The entry of England into this war in the very first place was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium.\n\nAnd, gentlemen, it is impossible to conceive that as a result of this war sentiment in connection with it will die down for many years to come, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it. (Applause.) You will notice that I am endeavouring in presenting this case to present it without passion, and to deal with it calmly and logically as it presents itself and as I trust it will appeal to you.\n\nCommittee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your Chamber, and to your Committee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your\n\n[April 27th, 1917.\n\n209\n\n349\n\n8\n\nApril 27th, 1917.] CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\ndevelopment any big commercial\n\ncome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hongkong, men, gentlemen, that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo. Now, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means.\n\nI mean that if we are not alive to the possibility of competition, and knowing well we can meet them and overcome them, then we shall deserve all the competition we may possibly have to meet.\n\nThe Hon. Sir PAUL CHATER- then said: Gentlemen, while I yield to none in my detestation and horror of the Germans and the unspeakable atrocities committed by that nation since the commencement of the War, at the same time I cannot find myself in accord with the suggestion that it is in the best interests of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace, and that subsequently they be admitted into the Colony under strict licence,\" save and except under conditions which are, I am convinced, beyond the bound of practical politics, namely, that the same stand be adopted and maintained by all the Allies in the Far East- France, Russia, Japan and most particularly China.\n\nGiven these conditions, then I am with you. Except under these conditions to exclude the Germans from our Colony would be merely to drive them to neighbouring trade centres, where once established they would prove a serious menace to our welfare and trade, not to mention the loss of benefits to be derived from the use of our Harbour by their shipping, and of shipping under their control. (Voice-Rot. They have no shipping. Who wrote it?)\n\nI deem it inexpedient that I should here mention in detail the place where they could exert and unless China sides with us) so establish themselves in our immediate neighbourhood.\n\nThey must be as well-known to you all as to me, but I shall be only too pleased to give my views in full to your Committee if and when they wish.\n\nIt has been argued that with no coaling facilities on the way German shipping will find a difficulty in reaching these distant waters, but can we for a moment suppose that she will not find means to overcome this difficulty? What about the use of oil fuel in place of coal? It would be easy enough for steamers using oil to reach Dutch ports in the East Indies and there replenish their stock for the further voyage to China, and Japan.\n\nThat China has at the moment broken off diplomatic relations with Germany we all know, and I trust that the day is not far distant when she will be numbered amongst our Allies; but to imagine for a moment that when peace is established she will continue to decline to trade with her is to my mind absurd.\n\nI have read that the German Concessions at Tientsin, Hankow and elsewhere, now being taken care of by China, will eventually be handed back to her, and we know Germans to-day are tolerated and trading in Shanghai.\n\nI maintain then to exclude them from this Colony only would be a suicidal policy. (Voice-No, no.) It may be said that we have got on very well and prospered without them during the war-granted but shall we not do so to a greater degree on their return!

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the report, dated the 20th April, by the Military Service Commissioners in the matter of the enquiry upon which they have been engaged.\n\n2. I desire to express my thanks to the Commissioners for their valuable work, with its resultant addition of no inconsiderable force for service with His Majesty's Armies; work which has, to my personal knowledge, involved much patient labour.\n\n3. With reference to paragraph 8 of the report I propose shortly to make a pronouncement in the Legislative Council regarding the subject of Military Service in relation to this Colony.\n\n4. The report will be published in the Gazette of the 4th May, a copy will be forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies forthwith, and copies will be laid upon the table of the Legislative Council at its next meeting.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\n(Sd.)\n\nF.

Steamers whose freight capacity is small will be available on the berth, and naturally, preference in shipping facilities will be extended to Merchants of the same nationality as that of the Steamer, thus the British Merchants will be compelled to sit down and see the efforts of years to build up a business pass into the hands of competitors, whereas with an Advisory Committee some measure of protection might reasonably be procured.\n\nMy Committee would be glad of a sympathetic consideration by the Government of this point of view and would much appreciate whatever representations His Excellency the Governor may see fit to make to the Home Government with a view to the election of such a Committee as suggested.\n\nI have &c.,\n\n(sd.)

They remember that it was their living in the past. But there are wider questions than that for the Colony to deal with and therefore contained in my solution. That resolution has been carefully considered by the Chamber of Commerce and we are of the opinion that what is involved is in the best interests of the Colony, so I leave it with you.\n\nwith them if we can possibly avoid it. Accordingly, I have avoided anything in moving the resolution which could be called exaggeration. One could speak with greater stress and far greater freedom if one could leave oneself free to imagination, and draw a picture of the conditions which the aftermath of this war will inevitably produce. But the whole burden of my resolution has been lost sight of in every argument advanced against it. I do not ask this Council to endorse a resolution pledging this Colony to legislation that for ten years after the war Germans shall be excluded from coming within our shores. What I ask for and plead for is that we shall pass the resolution and send it home to the Home Government as an expression of the Colony's opinion; an expression of\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY--I have one more opinion coming from the commercial men of mark to make, and that is that I do not think this Colony. The remarks which have fallen from H.E. the Governor are a deliberate flouting of the studied opinion of commercial men of the Colony, who have carefully considered the question and come to a decision, and to tell them they are more pigmy champions compared with the past is an insult to the Chamber of Commerce--explain it how you can. With regard to the remarks which have fallen from my hon. Chinese colleague, I would point out that this resolution has been on paper for a fortnight, which gave ample time for him to consult with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce if he had desired to do so. Apparently, he did not. I have also consulted many Chinese in connection with this matter, and many Chinese merchants have told me frankly that they did not desire the German trade to return to the Colony; they very much deprecated such trade and the system which had been adopted in the past. I was astounded to hear the words fall from the lips of the Attorney-General that there were some virtues in the credit system. There is a virtue in the credit system, provided it is under control, but, speaking from experience, and from a deep knowledge of the subject, I say that the credit system practised by the Germans, which was not controlled, was positively immoral.

Mr. P. H. Holyoak in connection with the same subject. The Hon. Mr. P. H.

All the evidence in the possession of the liquidators as to the constitution of the Hongkong and Singapore firms was placed before the Attorney General and resulted in Government deciding that the two estates were to be treated independently. The Liquidators were informed by Mr. C. C. Dunman, Liquidator at Singapore, that the facts were also under the consideration of the Straits Government. The correspondence with the Attorney General on this question will be found printed overleaf.\n\n10. Shortly after the commencement of the winding-up an offer of $120,000.00 was received for the business, exclusive of book debts. A second offer of $90,000.00 exclusive of book debts and goodwill was subsequently received. Both offers were declined.\n\n11. The Assets realised $201,564.52 and the expenses incurred in carrying on the business amounted to $63,362.78 and there is a sum of $136,796.85 available for distribution amongst creditors. Creditors for goods on consignment were satisfied in full from time to time, the sums paid to them aggregating $11,601.70. A first dividend of 75% was paid on the 24th of October, 1916, and a second and final dividend of 23% was paid on the 18th of January, 1917, making a total return of 98% to unsecured creditors.\n\n12. In view of the favourable result of the liquidation the Bank have agreed to rank for dividend pro rata with the other creditors except in so far as their claim was satisfied by the remittance from Singapore, the proceeds of the sale of Singapore stock brought into Hongkong by the Bank, and the proceeds of the sale of Diamonds in their possession. The first two items realised $22,587.97 (Hongkong currency) and are referred to in the report of the Singapore Liquidator dated September, 1916, and represent a surplus of security in the Bank's possession at Singapore. The Diamonds at Hongkong realised $19,845.35 and were actually delivered to the Bank at the time the Agreement mentioned in paragraph 4 hereof was entered into. This being so, there was never any question as to the Bank's lien thereon.\n\n13. After deducting the security actually in the possession or control of the Bank, their claim was admitted at $79,232.11 on which sum they have been paid the dividend of 98%. The Liquidators believe, and think the Creditors must agree, that this has been the best solution to the difficulty, and that the Liquidators' action in compromising the matter was in the best interests of the estate, having in mind the probable large cost of litigation.\n\n14. The Liquidators are pleased to report that the delay in the liquidation has not prejudiced the creditors, and has given them an opportunity of realising all the goods, except in very rare instances, at prices considerably above cost. The profits made have more than covered the expenses of the liquidation. The decision of the Liquidators to keep the shop open so long as a reasonable turnover existed has also saved a possibly large claim for damages from the Landlord of the shop premises. The sale by Auction of the balance of the stock was decided upon only after arrangements had been made for transfer of the unexpired portion of the lease to another tenant, without any loss to the estate beyond a sum of $132.50 for repairs.\n\n15. The excellent prices obtained for the stock and furniture are in no small measure due to the efforts of Mr. A. L. Penning who was appointed by the Liquidators Manager of the shop. Mr. Carl Bunje also rendered able assistance to the Liquidators.\n\n16. An approximate Statement of Affairs as at 31st December, 1914, was sent to Messrs. Mappin & Webb, Ltd., London, early in 1915, as representing Creditors in the United Kingdom. The Liquidators regret that owing to the incomplete state of the firm's books and the meagre information at their disposal, the Statement of Affairs was not complete. The value of the Hongkong stock taken over by the Liquidators, as worked out in detail by the Manager, was $130,000.00. The stock realised the sum of $179,774.81.\n\n17. The Liquidators note with pleasure that the result of the winding-up has been considered satisfactory by the creditors in their acknowledgments of the first dividend of 75%.\n\n18.

The Liquidator, in forwarding the statement, remarked that probably the stock would not realise the estimated value at auction.\n\nWe have heard from Singapore since that the liquidation would result in (perhaps) the sum of $14,000 being available to meet European creditors for £6,570. This will increase the deficiency to over $42,000.\n\nOne of the reasons for the increase in the amount of the estimated deficiency, in so far as it relates to ordinary creditors, is undoubtedly the law in Singapore as to local creditors whose claims have to be paid in full. The claim of the landlord of the shop in Singapore for damages has been assessed at $9,900 plus costs, and being a local claim, has been, or will be, met in full. We have no definite information as to this but have drawn the inference from the wide divergence in the figures given as the estimated deficiency.\n\nIn connection with the suggestion to merge the claims of Hongkong and Singapore for dividend purposes, we have prepared a statement showing the effect of the suggestion as regards creditors. The claims have been divided into three classes, namely, creditors with claims against both Hongkong and Singapore, creditors of the Hongkong business only, and creditors of the Singapore business only. For convenience, we will refer to the classes of creditors as (a), (b), and (c) respectively.\n\nAn examination of the figures reveals the following position :-\n\nClass A\n\nHongkong. Singapore.\n\n£3,931. 18s. 9d. £5,144. 14s. 4d.\n\nAs the Singapore claims exceed the Hongkong claims, the merger, if carried out, will penalise those creditors whose claims against Hongkong exceed their claims against Singapore.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468498, "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": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 261, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "251\n\n6\n\nRegarding Class (6), £1,459, the claims, being against Hongkong only, the creditors will suffer by the amalgamation, the estimated loss to them being £643.\n\nClass (c) creditors, that is, those creditors against Singapore only, £1,424, will benefit by the suggested pool of the assets by £514 in increased dividend.\n\nIn order that you may appreciate this point better, we may state that there appears little probability of Singapore paying much more than 20% to creditors, whereas, we are hoping for a distribution in Hongkong of 100%.\n\nIf the assets are pooled, the dividends will work out at about 56%, the gain to Singapore creditors being 36%, and the loss to Hongkong creditors, 44%.\n\nWe may mention that the sum of £1,260 is due to local creditors in Hongkong (included in Class (b)), and that the suggestion to pool the assets, by which the probability of being paid 100% will be reduced at best to a dividend of 50%, will work a hardship on them, and appear inequitable in view of the law in Singapore under which the local creditors there were paid in full.\n\nThe sum of £1,260 mentioned includes the amount of £1,000 due to the Estate of the late Capt. Bunje. This Estate will lose £440 if the assets are merged.\n\nWe are enclosing herein statements showing the particulars of the three classes of creditors with details of amounts receivable in dividends by each creditor. These statements will also show the extent of the benefit or loss to each creditor under the proposed pool.\n\nAnother point which we think should receive consideration before a decision is made as to whether or not to pool the assets is the question of partnership. According to a partnership deed executed in March, 1914, the partners of the Hongkong firm are Carl Otto Georg Heermann and Otto Wagner. Mr. C. F. Heermann is not mentioned as a partner.\n\nIn a Power of Attorney dated the 20th January, granted to Mr. C. Bunje, Mr. C. F. Heermann described himself as carrying on business at Singapore under the style of Chas. J. Gaupp & Co. As the partnership deed between Mr. C. O. G. Heermann and Mr. Otto Wagner was not signed until two months after, we cannot understand why Mr. C. F. Heermann was not a party to the deed, if in fact he was a partner of the Hongkong business.\n\nIf the Power of Attorney granted to Mr. Bunje is to be taken at its face value, and having in mind the doubts as to Mr. C. F. Heermann being a partner in the Hongkong business at all, we think it is a fair conclusion that the Hongkong and Singapore businesses are separate businesses. We must, however, state that we have always regarded Mr. C. F. Heermann as a Hongkong Partner, and have addressed him as such. In the abortive negotiations for the sale of the business in Hongkong, he was referred to as a partner, and his name appears in the draft deed as such. Our Mr. Williams, who is now on the return journey from Shanghai, may have further particulars regarding this apparent discrepancy. We expect him within the next couple of days, and if he has anything to communicate with regard to this, we shall advise you at once.\n\nIf Hongkong and Singapore are different partnerships there will be, we think, a difficulty in acting on the suggestion to pool assets. In fact, we think, that in this event, Hongkong should be allowed to prove in competition with the other creditors against Singapore for their indebtedness to Hongkong.\n\nAnother aspect of the question for consideration is to whom was credit given for goods supplied to Singapore. The firm's creditors had, by a long course of dealing, learnt to rely on Gaupp & Co., and not having received any notice (as seems probable) as to the constitution of the firm in Singapore, they may have considered that credit given to Singapore was in fact given to Hongkong. One creditor against Singapore, Marks & Cohn, £1,405, did take this view. We informed Mr. Lofts, their representative, on the 18th of March last, that the liquidations were entirely separate and that his firm's claim being for goods supplied to Singapore, his proper course was to apply to the Liquidator there, and we also urged him to consult his solicitors in the event of his not agreeing to our ruling. He expressed great dissatisfaction but we have not heard from him since.\n\n7\n\nOur view has always been that the liquidations are separate, but the position is full of difficulties and more so because of the law in Singapore allowing preferential rights to local creditors.\n\nWe desire to state that if it be decided to merge the assets, the proceedings in reference to the validity of the Bank's lien, now in abeyance by consent, should be continued in the interests of all creditors in view of the large difference it would make to the dividend. We have no doubt you agree it will be our duty to do this in the event of the merger being decided upon.\n\nWe advised the Liquidator at Singapore in March last, that if the anticipated surplus in Hongkong be realised, we would have no objection to its transfer to Singapore provided the Hongkong Government so instructed us.\n\nThe Honourable\n\nThe Attorney General.\n\nWe have, &c.,\n\nLOWE, BINGHAM & MATTHEWS,\n\nLiquidators.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468500, "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": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "page_number": 263, "title": "CO129-443 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [7-9]", "content_text": "NEW GOVERNMENT BUILDING, DES VOEUX ROAD, HONGKONG, 24th July, 1916.\n\nChas.

It is expected that much development will take place in consequence both for residential and agricultural purposes. The road from San Tin to Lok Ma Chau Police Station will be useful for police administration, the present path being narrow and liable to flooding.\n\nUnder Drainage a sum of $20,000 has been provided for drains in connection with building operations, and a sum of $27,000 is entered for water mains at Shanshuipo.\n\nIn the Post Office under Other Charges the abolition of sea sorting on board P. & O. packets has reduced the share of the Mail Subsidy by £600; this is still further reduced by higher exchange and a saving of $10,640 is shown. It is estimated that higher exchange will also result in a saving of $25,000 in Transit Charges. There are increases in Coal and other items amounting to $3,050, but against these are set decreases of $500 and $1,400 in Stamps and Incidental Expenses, respectively. The vote for Stores, D'Aguilar Radio Telegraph Station, was over-estimated last year and has been reduced by $5,435.\n\nIn the Kowloon-Canton Railway, under General Charges, Personal Emoluments, it will be noticed that the post of Inspector of Station Accounts has been abolished. Under Maintenance of Way Works and Stations, Other Charges, there are increases of $350 for Fastenings, $225 for Points and Crossings, $150 for Roads and Crossings, and $2,400 for Sleepers, as it is anticipated that a large number of renewals will be required next year. Against these are set decreases of $700 in Ballast, $2,200 in Bridges and Tunnels which have undergone biennial repairs and renovation this year, $250 in Maintenance of Signals, $75 in Plantations, $650 in Repairs Staff Quarters and $1,050 in Repairs of Station Buildings, so that the total Other Charges has been reduced by a sum of $1,500. Under Locomotive, Carriages and Wagon Expenses, Personal Emoluments, there are several small additions to the staff, which are set out in Appendix III. Under Other Charges there is a large increase of $32,000 for Coal which has been reduced from 7,000 to 6,000 tons in quantity. There are, however, reductions in other votes which bring the net increase to a sum of $29,328.\n\nUnder Traffic Expenses, Personal Emoluments, the post of Head Guard has been abolished and a new post of Station Inspector has been created with a view to the better supervision of Chinese Station Masters. One 6th Grade Telephone Clerk has been added for night duty. \"Other Charges\" have been reduced by $4,801 in all, the Commission on the Transport of Goods amounting to $3,000 being deducted before estimating revenue.\n\nCoal for the Fanling Branch Line is estimated to cost $1,750 more and the votes for Fastenings and Sleepers have also been increased. Other items have been reduced so that the net increase is $1,895. I regret that this Branch Line shows no sign of being able to pay its way. The estimated revenue for 1918 is only $10,100 and the estimated cost is $13,898. It may be necessary to close the line unless its productiveness increases.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a vote of $3,000 is inserted for a Motor Trolley for the better supervision of the track by the Engineer of Way Works and Stations. A re-vote of $60,000 is included for the platform awnings. The erection of these has been much delayed by the difficulty experienced in obtaining the necessary steel work from England. Votes amounting to $12,985 are included for other constructional works. The huts for pointsmen and gatemen are considered necessary, as these men have to be out at all times and in all weathers. The vote for New Fencing is required as the wooden fencing which has not been renewed since the commencement of the railway now requires renewal. It is considered necessary to provide quarters at Lo Wu for the staff at Sham Chun Station, as there is no living accommodation for them there and it is considered desirable that the staff should live in British territory. The pipe line at Taipo requires complete renewal, as it has been found to be much corroded and choked up. Improvements are required to the approach road to Yaumati necessitated by an increase in vehicular traffic at that station, while the vote for Roads and Crossings is required owing to the greater use that is now made of these crossings.\n\nUnder the heading Charge on account of the Public Debt a considerable saving is shown in the Interest on the Consolidated Inscribed Stock, the Crown Agents' Charges and in the Sinking Fund, amounting in all to $29,137, which is due to higher exchange. The vote of $10,000 for Service of the War Loan is not required.\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\n94\n\na sum of over £13,000 and have expended locally for the working parties and in other ways a sum of $81,030.\n\nThe Jockey Club sent to St. Dunstan's Hospital a sum of £3,900 and £100 to the Blue Cross Society, while the St. Andrew's Society and the Masonic Bodies have also remitted large sums.\n\nThere is a decrease of $6,070 under Pensions, Civil Pensions being estimated to cost $7,370 less than in 1917. I have already addressed you regarding the death of Dr. Atkinson, and it is a matter for deep regret that he should have lived for so short a time to enjoy the pension that he had so well earned. The increase in the amount required under Widows' and Orphans' Pensions is due to the untimely death of several valuable officers.\n\nThe local branch of the Overseas Club subscribed a sum of £1,690 for the purchase of an aeroplane and for sundry charities. I desire to make special mention of the generous gifts of a battle-plane by Mr. A. R. Lowe, and an aeroplane by Mr. Ho Fook.\n\nA saving of $1,569 is shown under Charitable Services.\n\nThere is an estimated balance of Revenue over Expenditure of $2,623,115, which added to the estimated balance at the end of this year of $2,867,945 makes a total of $5,491,060. These figures are eminently satisfactory, and while repeating the warning that I gave last year as to the necessity for husbanding our resources, I will take an opportunity later on of consulting honourable members as to what further help the Colony can give to His Majesty's Government. In this connection I will bring up to date the statement of the financial and other aid given by the Colony to Imperial War Funds and to War Charities, which I made to the Council in March.\n\nThe amounts taken up through the British Banks in the Colony to the end of September are as follows: British War Loans and War Savings Certificates £1,145,000; Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Loans $3,865,173 (Straits Currency).\n\nThe various parties of ladies working under the auspices of Queen Mary's Needlework Guild have since the beginning of the war made 211,274 bandages, 30,271 garments and 11,158 knitted articles, while the Union Church working party and other private working parties have all continued to supply many articles monthly.\n\nI should like to mention that from the 7th August correspondence from all regular troops stationed in Hongkong addressed to any place in Great Britain and Ireland, to any British Colony or Possession, and to all places in which British troops are engaged in military operations has been transmitted through the post free of charge. Up to the 30th September the following articles had been posted and forwarded by the Post Office: 20,606 letters, 374 postcards, 380 other articles.\n\nUp to the 30th September, 472 men had proceeded from the Colony on active service with His Majesty's Forces, of whom I regret to say 33 have been killed in action. The Military Service Commission which I appointed in the Spring did most useful work, resulting in the release of more than fifty men for service outside the Colony. The war still continues, and I trust that the Colony will continue to make every effort in supporting His Majesty's Government both in the supply of men and money until the objects for which the Empire and her gallant Allies are struggling have been attained.\n\nThe Hongkong and South China War Savings Association, which was established in January last, had received up to the end of September the large sum of $1,011,440 Straits Currency and the number of members of the Association was 787. The Colony is deeply indebted to the gentlemen who formed and have carried on this association at no expense to the members, and to the Union Insurance Society of Canton, who are the Honorary Secretaries and Treasurers. It has proved a great boon to the small investor, and we can only hope that the remaining sum which the Government of the Straits Settlements has reserved for the Association will all be taken up.\n\nIn my statement last March I gave a list of the amounts contributed to various funds in aid of the war and to charities in connection with the war up to the 31st December, 1916, the total being £64,192. Up to the end of September the War Charities Committee remitted a further sum of over £13,000...\n\nIt is proposed to take the second reading of the Supply Bill on Tuesday, the 23rd October, as it is essential that the estimates should be forwarded on the 25th October in order that, in accordance with the Colonial Regulations, they may be considered and approved, or otherwise, before the end of the year.\n\nThe Bill was then read a first time.\n\n75", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-444 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1917 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468890, "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": "CO129-444 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1917 [10-12]", "page_number": 110, "title": "CO129-444 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1917 [10-12]", "content_text": "93\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThese works will result in a good broad road being in existence at the end of next year from Kowloon by Castle Peak and Fanling back to Kowloon, a distance of over sixty miles. It is expected that much development will take place in consequence both for residential and agricultural purposes. The road from San Tin to Lok Ma Chau Police Station will be useful for police administration, the present path being narrow and liable to flooding.\n\nUnder Drainage a sum of $20,000 has been provided for drains in connection with building operations, and a sum of $27,000 is entered for water mains at Shamshui Po.\n\nIn the Post Office under Other Charges the abolition of sea sorting on board P. & O. packets has reduced the share of the Mail Subsidy by £600; this is still further reduced by higher exchange and a saving of $10,640 is shown. It is estimated that higher exchange will also result in a saving of $25,000 in Transit Charges. There are increases in Coal and other items amounting to $3,000, but against these are set decreases of $500 and $1,400 in Stamps and Incidental Expenses, respectively. The vote for Stores, D'Aguilar Radio Telegraph Station, was over-estimated last year and has been reduced by $5,435.\n\nIn the Kowloon-Canton Railway, under General Charges, Personal Emoluments, it will be noticed that the post of Inspector of Station Accounts has been abolished.\n\nUnder Traffic Expenses, Personal Emoluments, the post of Head Guard has been abolished and a new post of Station Inspector has been created with a view to the better supervision of Chinese Station Masters. One 6th Grade Telephone Clerk has been added for night duty. \"Other Charges\" have been reduced by $4,801 in all, the Commission on the Transport of Goods amounting to $3,000 being deducted before estimating revenue.\n\nCoal for the Fanling Branch Line is estimated to cost $1,750 more and the votes for Fastenings and Sleepers have also been increased. Other items have been reduced so that the net increase is $1,895. I regret that this Branch Line shows no sign of being able to pay its way. The estimated revenue for 1918 is only $10,100 and the estimated cost is $13,898. It may be necessary to close the line unless its productiveness increases.\n\nUnder Special Expenditure a vote of $3,000 is inserted for a Motor Trolley for the better supervision of the track by the Engineer of Way Works and Stations. A re-vote of $80,000 is included for the platform awnings. The erection of these has been much delayed by the difficulty experienced in obtaining the necessary steel work from England. Votes amounting to $12,985 are included for other constructional works. The huts for pointsmen and gatemen are considered necessary, as these men have to be out at all times and in all weathers.\n\nUnder Maintenance of Way Works and Stations, Other Charges, a vote for New Fencing is required as the wooden fencing which has not been renewed since the commencement of the railway now requires renewal. It is considered necessary to provide quarters for the staff at Lo Wu Station, as there is no living accommodation for them there and it is considered desirable that the staff should live in British territory. The pipe line at Tai Po requires complete renewal, as it has been found to be much corroded and choked.\n\nThere are increases of $350 for Fastenings, $223 for Points and Crossings, $450 for Roads and Crossings, and $2,400 for Sleepers, as it is anticipated that a large number of renewals will be required next year. Against these are set decreases of $700 in Ballast, $2,200 in Bridges and Tunnels which have undergone biennial repairs and renovation this year, $250 in Maintenance of Signals, $75 in Plantations, $650 in Repairs of Staff Quarters, and $1,050 in Repairs of Station Buildings, so that the total Other Charges has been reduced by a sum of $1,500.\n\nUnder Locomotive, Carriages and Wagon Expenses, Personal Emoluments, there are several small additions to the staff which are set out in Appendix III. Under Other Charges there is a large increase of $32,000 for Coal which has been reduced from 7,000 to 6,000 tons in quantity. There are, however, reductions in other votes which bring the net increase to a sum of $29,329.\n\nImprovements are required to the approach road to Yaumati necessitated by an increase in vehicular traffic at that station, while the vote for Roads and Crossings is required owing to the greater use that is now made of these crossings.\n\nUnder the heading Charge on account of the Public Debt a considerable saving is shown in the Interest on the Consolidated Inscribed Stock, the Crown Agents' Charges and in the Sinking Fund, amounting in all to $29,137, which is due to higher exchange. The vote of $10,000 for Service of the War Loan is not required.\n\n114.\n\nThe Jockey Club sent to St. Dunstan's Hospital a sum of £3,900 and £100 to the Blue Cross Society, while the St. Andrew's Society and the Masonic Bodies have also remitted large sums.\n\nHONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThere is a decrease of $6,070 under Pensions, Civil Pensions being estimated to cost $7,370 less than in 1917. I have already addressed you regarding the death of Dr. Atkinson, and it is a matter for deep regret that he should have lived for so short a time to enjoy the pension that he had so well earned. The increase in the amount required under Widows' and Orphans' Pensions is due to the untimely death of several valuable officers.\n\nThe local branch of the Overseas Club subscribed a sum of £1,690 for the purchase of an aeroplane and for sundry charities. I desire to make special mention of the generous gifts of a battle-plane by Mr. A. R. Lowe, and an aeroplane by Mr. Ho Fook.\n\nA saving of $1,569 is shown under Charitable Services.\n\nThere is an estimated balance of Revenue over Expenditure of $2,623,115, which added to the estimated balance at the end of this year of $2,867,945 makes a total of $5,491,060. These figures are eminently satisfactory, and while repeating the warning that I gave last year as to the necessity for husbanding our resources, I will take an opportunity later on of consulting honourable members as to what further help the Colony can give to His Majesty's Government.\n\nIn this connection I will bring up to date the statement of the financial and other aid given by the Colony to Imperial War Funds and to War Charities, which I made to the Council in March.\n\nThe amounts taken up through the British Banks in the Colony to the end of September are as follows:-\n\nBritish War Loans and War Savings Certificates £1,145,000\n\nStraits Settlements and Federated Malay States Loans $3,865,173 (Straits Currency).\n\nThe Hongkong and South China War Savings Association, which was established in January last, had received up to the end of September the large sum of $1,011,440 Straits Currency and the number of members of the Association was 787. The Colony is deeply indebted to the gentlemen who formed and have carried on this association at no expense to the members, and to the Union Insurance Society of Canton, who are the Honorary Secretaries and Treasurers.\n\nIn my statement last March I gave a list of the amounts contributed to various funds in aid of the war and to charities in connection with the war up to the 31st December 1917, the total being £64,192. Up to the end of September the War Charities Committee remitted a further sum of over £13,000 and have expended locally for the working parties and in other ways a sum of $84,950.\n\nThe various parties of ladies working under the auspices of Queen Mary's Needlework Guild have since the beginning of the war made 211,274 bandages, 30,271 garments and 11,158 knitted articles, while the Union Church working party and other private working parties have all continued to supply many articles monthly.\n\nI should like to mention that from the 7th August correspondence from all regular troops stationed in Hongkong addressed to any place in Great Britain and Ireland, to any British Colony or Possession, and to all places in which British troops are engaged in military operations has been transmitted through the post free of charge. Up to the 30th September the following articles had been posted and forwarded by the Post Office: -- 20,696 letters, 374 postcards, 380 other articles.\n\nUp to the 30th September, 472 men had proceeded from the Colony on active service with His Majesty's Forces, of whom I regret to say 33 have been killed in action. The Military Service Commission which I appointed in the Spring did most useful work, resulting in the release of more than fifty men for service outside the Colony.\n\nThe war still continues, and I trust that the Colony will continue to make every effort in supporting His Majesty's Government both in the supply of men and money until the objects for which the Empire and her gallant Allies are struggling have been attained.\n\nIt is proposed to take the second reading of the Supply Bill on Tuesday, the 23rd October, as it is essential that the estimates should be forwarded on the 25th October in order that, in accordance with the Colonial Regulations, they may be considered and approved, or otherwise, before the end of the year.\n\nThe Bill was then read a first time.\n\n106", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-444 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1917 [10-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 469072, "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": "CO129-444 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1917 [10-12]", "page_number": 292, "title": "CO129-444 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1917 [10-12]", "content_text": "HE EASTERN TELEGRAPH COMPANY, LIMITED.\n\nClerk's Name......\n\nJnsur:ISVOD Bat gnitjeininba zsol110 edt eit zol evoJā to vistazoe? and ot gaɔl yaɔH to .29 ino100 (iscussed MJT 66180) 75006060 AJT ...4 30.6,501110 Lulabic bevissed) (TIR!\n\ntetinl edt of nottatzogal nori batidijorų abooD TSLAN $191. esitizontul exotavo binors .Jobgaix JasverĄ Ģiei SE .oй ecreati10 yd be1781000 815WOY Dẹjiny Tot Lenitesi elcog done to shenqinë Pluche de II Lectia baitİTE TO Deklik at robgnLA TOL OKSA JAŊiaid abʊog nowe of Laetxe molinevet\n\nme the prikel 15 IIM dvomit no tos/qidensið $10ga!

Mr. P. H. Holyoak in connection with the same subject.\n\nMr. Holyoak, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, presided, and he was supported at the head of the room by the Chamber Committee, viz., Hon.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:— As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this. That a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\"It is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\"\n\nNow, gentlemen, we contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution. (Applause.) It was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question.\n\nWe claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct pronouncement from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 474990, "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": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "page_number": 684, "title": "CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917", "content_text": "By referred to the Referring\n\nMr. Ainscough\n\nReport & as Ki\n\nKuey\n\nbear this in mind when replying to our letter\n\n27676.\n\non\n\n06.2878717\n\n28.8.17\n\n3.17\n\nSee Mr. Read's minute on 33940.

In view of the somewhat large area which can be allotted on water the system \"B\" would seem ample to commence with. It will be noticed that the lights have to be changed to suit the direction in which the wind is blowing and on first sight it would appear that a somewhat comprehensive scheme of light buoys will be necessary to cover the different directions of wind.\n\nIt will be remembered that Colonel Holt stated that he did not consider Hongkong was a suitable place to train pilots and only thoroughly trained pilots should be allowed to land on either of the aeroplane aerodromes he selected.

We would suggest representatives of the Church Missionary Society and the London Missionary Society and the Treasurer, a Secretary will have to be appointed and it is probable that for a charitable purpose, a gentleman could be found who would be willing to do so in an honorary capacity.

Crowe, \nCommercial Counsellor, \nYokohama.\n\nMr. H.A. F. Horne, \nCommercial Secretary, \nYokohama.\n\nI am to transmit for Their Lordships' information in this connection a copy of a despatch which has recently been received from His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Peking covering a communication from Mr. Brett. It will be observed from Mr. Lampson's despatch that Mr. Rose is already provided with medical attendance in virtue of his being included in the Legation staff. Mr. Fox, on the other hand, who is now in this country and has seen the Legation despatch, denies that he is in receipt of free medical attendance, as he is not a member of the Consulate staff at Shanghai. With the exception of Mr. Rose, therefore, all the above-mentioned officers are obliged to pay their own medical expenses.\n\n4.\n\nIn these circumstances, I am to request that Commercial Diplomatic officers in China and Japan may be authorised to conclude agreements with local medical practitioners, in the same manner as is done by Consular officers, to receive for themselves and their staffs together with their wives and families medical attendance and medicines.\n\nPage 385\n\nMeanwhile Lord Curzon trusts that Their Lordships will agree to sanction the payment of the sum of 90 dollars on account of medical attendance rendered to Mr. Brett by the firm of Drs. Harston, Varriott, Black, Balean and Koch, Hongkong.\n\n6.\n\nI am also to enclose for Their Lordships' consideration in this connection a voucher in original furnished by Mr. Horne in respect of hospital fees incurred in connection with the severe illness of his eldest son, aged 9, and to request that Their Lordships may see Their way to sanction the payment of the amount in question, viz: 186 Yen 15 Sen. It is requested that the voucher may be returned.\n\n7.\n\nThere is of course no intention of applying for similar privileges for Commercial Diplomatic Officers in other countries where Consular officers do not enjoy free medical attendance. The present request is dictated solely by the desirability of treating Commercial Diplomatic Officers in the Far East not less favourably than they would have been treated if they had remained in the Consular Service from which, in the nature of things, Commercial Diplomatic Officers in the Far East will as a rule have to be drawn.\n\nI am,\nSir,\n(Signed)\nYour obedient Servant,\nF.G.A.

A. Howe\n\n460\n\nNavan, \n5th November, 1919.\n\nIn connection with my appeal to His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant for extension of period of service, I have been given to understand that my year's service in Hong Kong will not count towards pension. This is a complete surprise to me.\n\nI was informed by the Inspector General before leaving that I was seconded and that my promotion would go on as usual. Naturally the question of pension did not occur to me—22 years ago.\n\nI am now told District Inspector Pattisson's services at Shanghai was not allowed to count, but I submit the cases are quite different. Shanghai is governed by a Municipal Council and each settlement there runs its own Government, whereas Hong Kong is a Crown Colony, and all its appointments made by the Colonial Office.\n\nI consented to go when other officers had refused owing to the financial loss they would sustain. The terms offered were not nearly so much as the pay at home.\n\nIf the Treasury cannot sanction my service in Hong Kong to count for pension in the Royal Irish Constabulary the Government will I hope recoup any loss by allowing me to continue serving in the R.I.C. and with the object of having this appeal joined to the former one I made to His Excellency I request the Inspector General may submit this one also.\n\nThe Inspector General.\n\nT.

Mr. LANG-It is inquisitorial and unnecessary.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-Was there not some difference of opinion? It was not generally agreed that the clause was of that nature?\n\nHON. MR. BIRD-I do not think it is a question of honesty, but it is quite unnecessarily inconvenient. If the books are found all right and the stamps in order, there is no redress.\n\nHON. MR. STEPHEN-Am I in order in referring to clause 20?\n\nHON. MR. LANG-It was unworkable and it has been wisely abandoned, but I would like to know if the Attorney-General intends to take any action. Will any action be taken without practical certainty that an offence has been committed?\n\nHON. MR. LAU CHU PAK said the Chinese Chamber of Commerce had suggested that power should be vested in a magistrate or the puisne judge.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-I think the suggestion was that there should be entry only after a search warrant had been applied for.\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY-The Collector has to get a warrant every time he wants to see the books of a firm.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-It is rather a serious matter if a firm can be invaded at any time by the Collector's office.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-It has been said that this clause has no terrors for honest men.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-I think the Attorney-General would concede that there should be some safeguard with regard to the search warrant.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL-A delay sometimes results in a document not being found.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-I do not suppose any firm having any business to speak of would suddenly close its doors.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL-No, but it might make away with the incriminating document.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-All dealing with smuggling require a warrant when the existence of smuggling goods is suspected.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-There are many cases in which there is power to inspect.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-But the Collector can only have reason to believe.\n\nIt was agreed that the clause should stand over in order that it might be redrafted.\n\nOn clause 45, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the clause be amended as shown in a printed sheet of amendments laid on the table. These amendments were agreed to.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved a similar resolution with regard to clause 48 (renumbered).\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-I should like to know what these words or attempts to commit are intended to cover. What sort of a case?\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL-Say, an attempt to destroy a book of account to evade the duty. That would be covered by the words.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-Or going into a room and seeing a person attempting to throw a document into the fire.\n\nThe clause as amended was passed.\n\nHON. MR. STEPHEN-You would get the revenue from your transfer by stamps.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-There is also a difficulty in various companies when corporate people are registered as trustees for other people.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-I do not think that properly comes in a stamp bill.\n\nTHE ATTORNEY-GENERAL-It would tend to produce a little more revenue from transfers but not a great amount.\n\nHON. MR. STEPHEN-I was only suggesting that as a means by which the Duty might receive a substantial increase.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-In place of getting it, we have raised the rate on share contracts and notes, at the instance of the brokers themselves. It is an expression of their great relief in getting rid of this section.\n\nHON. MR.

Lowe, Bingham & Matthews for professional services in connection with report on the China and Japan Telephone and Electric Co., Ltd.\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN-This sum was, of course, not provided in the Estimates, but it was asked that Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews should make a report on the value of the buildings, plant, and goodwill separately, of this undertaking, and it was proposed that the Government should pay for it.\n\nHON. MR. POLLOCK-I hope the public will have an opportunity of seeing this report for which they are paying $5,000.\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN-I do not think it will be impossible to publish this report, but His Excellency was not able to say at the time he spoke.\n\nThe minute was approved.\n\n### A Railway Vote\n\nH.E. the Officer Administering the Government recommended the Council to vote a sum of $3,337 on account of Kowloon Railway, special expenditure, Rampapo switch stands.\n\nTHE CHAIRMAN-These were to be procured last year and they were not actually procured. The manager of the railway was proposing to put it in the Estimates for this year. A special warrant was actually taken last year. These switches have now arrived but they were not allowed for in this year's Estimates, and this is in the nature of a re-vote.\n\nThe vote was approved and the Committee rose.\n\nThe Council then adjourned until April 28th, at 2.30 p.m.\n\nThe Adjournment\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY-We will leave the committee and meet again on Thursday, at 2.30.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-468 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1921 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 488041, "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": "CO129-468 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1921 [6-8]", "page_number": 394, "title": "CO129-468 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1921 [6-8]", "content_text": "## 390 \n\n390 are apparently in your possession.

I now have the honour to enclose the resolutions of this year's conference, which was held at Shanghai from the 3rd to the 6th November, and at which I was present by invitation of the Associated Chambers, and with your Lordship's consent.\n\nRepresentatives of the British Chambers in all parts of China participated in the discussions, which took place in His Majesty's Supreme Court. In addition to the delegates from the mercantile communities, the speakers included the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Duff, Rear-Admiral Borrett, and Mr. E. F. Crowe, Commercial Counsellor of His Majesty's Embassy in Japan, and the debates were highly interesting and instructive.\n\nIt will be seen from the resolutions that the subjects under discussion covered practically every major question now at issue in China. The treatment of these problems by the Chambers emphasised the peculiarly political-commercial aspect of most of the questions affecting foreign interests in this country, and I was much struck by the knowledge, moderation, and breadth of vision generally shown in their treatment.\n\nThis was my first opportunity of meeting the members of the British mercantile communities, and it was gratifying to note the close relations which exist between the official and mercantile world in China, and the confidence which appears to be placed in the opinions and support of the Legation and the consulates by a body of business men who show great independence of thought and are justly proud of their own accomplishments in administration and public service. The tradition of co-operation with our great mercantile interests in China so firmly established by Sir John Jordan is, no doubt, mainly responsible for this satisfactory spirit, which should prove an increasing source of national strength to us in the Far East.\n\nAmongst the functions arranged in connection with the conference was a reception to the Chinese, including representatives of their chambers of commerce and of the bankers and cotton guilds of Shanghai, where I had the opportunity of meeting and hearing the views of some of the Chinese leaders in commerce, industry, and finance.\n\nThe conference left me with a vivid impression of the multiplicity of problems affecting foreign interests, and of the personal vitality and strength underlying the present political confusion, of which one is apt to grow unduly conscious in Peking. The merchants and industrialists, both British and Chinese, pursue their work of progress steadily and successfully in spite of chronic unrest, recognising that it is useless to hold their hand and await the establishment of order in a country which has an endless history of rebellion against superimposed government and which yet shows a rare stability in its social and economic life.\n\nIn addition to the purely commercial resolutions, dealing with technical questions of trade, recommendations were made in regard to conservancy of the Yang-tsze and the Chibli Rivers, currency reform, legislation for distinguishing the nationality of British companies, tariff revision and inland taxation, aids to navigation, the publication of accounts by the Customs Administration, the Russian and ex-German concessions, copyright and trade-marks, internal disorders, opium and morphia, Crown leases, the famine and the surtaxes imposed for famine relief, the education of Chinese on Western lines, railway administration and standardisation, the mail service between the United Kingdom and China, the consortium, and the extension of the Commercial Diplomatic Service to cover the commercial work of the consulates-general in Hankow, Tien-tsin, and Canton.\n\nThe resolution in regard to the present position at Tsingtao and in Shantung was treated as confidential in view of the political issues involved. The other resolutions were communicated to the press, but the discussions leading up to them will not be published.\n\n[5364 ee]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 489349, "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": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 497, "title": "CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "## Mr. Mounsey (Tien-tsin) said :--\nIt might interest the conference if I tell them that the other day before we held our annual meeting in Tien-tsin we were notified that Major Nathan, who is the General Manager of the Kailan Mining Administration, had expressed willingness to approach the postal authorities in London with regard to the grave irregularities in the arrival of mail if the Tien-tsin Chamber desired him to do so. We accordingly sent him a cable and took advantage of his kind offer and asked if he would see what he could do. We received a report from him to the effect that he had seen the Postal authorities, who had expressed great regret at the irregularity and were intending to do all they could to improve matters. They were unable to hold out any hopes that the time would be reduced very much though they hoped to be able to improve the matter of irregularity.\n\n## MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS\n### Policy of British Merchants in China\nIt was unanimously agreed :-\nThat this Association, being in the main composed of merchants, many of whom, however, are sole agents for some of the biggest manufacturers in Great Britain, desires to place on record its anxiety to co-operate in the fullest practicable way with manufacturers in the advancement of the Empire's commercial and manufacturing interests.\n\nIn moving this resolution on behalf of the Shanghai Chamber, **Mr. J. S. S. Cooper (Arnhold Bros. and Co. (Limited))** said :-\nThe fact that we are gathered together in this conference is proof enough of our interest in British trade, and this motion indicates one way--and, I venture to say, an important way in which British trade may be advanced.\n\nThere are several doors by which a manufacturer may enter the China market by sales to exporters in Great Britain, by establishing singly or with others his own organisation in China, or by allying himself with one of the local merchant firms. Although I hold sufficiently pronounced views as to the relative merits and effectiveness of these various methods, this is neither the place nor the time to give them expression but whatever opinions each one of us may cherish, I am persuaded all will concede that manufacturers have much to gain from the co-operation of the merchants, and that merchants are in no less need of the hearty support of the manufacturers.\n\n\"It may be, in those distant-seeming days when war had not yet caused a revival of patriotic feeling, that British merchants and British manufacturers were not sufficiently in harmony. Since those days a great change has taken place in the spirit of British trade in China-a change for which the various British Chambers of Commerce can take no small share of credit. The most casual acquaintance with the work of any of the Chambers will be enough to demonstrate how far they have carried us from the old environment of indifference, of individualism-even of jealousy. It is very largely due to them and the Association that we owe the new spirit of solidarity and co-operation.\n\n\"Surely, it is not too much to hope that this spirit will bind closer the relationships between the British manufacturers and the British merchant. The interests of the two are so closely bound together as to be almost indistinguishable. Each is equally concerned in supplying the best and in building up the confidence of the Chinese clients. Each is equally interested to secure a maximum share of China's imports for British trade and to present a strong, if friendly, competition to suppliers of other nationalities.\n\n\"All that seems to be necessary is that each party should recognise the true functions of the other-especially that merchants should concede to the manufacturer the right to know for what his products are suited, and that the manufacturer should recognise the merchant's special knowledge of the pitfalls and peculiarities of the China market.\n\n\"It is, unfortunately, true that nothing is easier than criticism, and the merchant is the traditional butt of venerable jibes. Recently, too, the thoughtless use of the word profiteering has caused the association of a certain measure of odium with the most merited profits. And yet even the merchant is worthy of his hire. He fills a definite place in the social mechanism, and renders definite services to both seller and buyer. It is difficult to see just how the China market could originally have been exploited without his mediation. The fact that there now may be some manufacturers, like Kipling's cat, able to walk by themselves, does not, by any means, imply that the day of the merchant is past, or that the mercantile community in China will not always be in a position to be of practical value to the industrial community in Britain.\n\n\"The wording of the motion has tempted me to speak as a representative of a body mainly composed of merchants. But manufacturers, though in a minority at present, form no inconsiderable part of the membership of the Chambers. I am sure I speak for all in saying that I hope that they will develop a membership ever increasing both in numbers and in importance. It is to be hoped that each Chamber will do everything in its power to encourage merchants to become members and that all British manufacturers represented in China will join at least one of the Chambers. They will find a ready welcome, an open ballot, and the fullest opportunity to make themselves heard in our councils.\n\n\"At present trade in China is at the ebb. The flood will follow just as surely as time and tide. Let us use the slack water interval to establish connections and to arrive at a better mutual understanding. Then, when the tide has turned, and when perhaps that trade destroying monster the fluctuation clause has been laid to rest, manufacturer and merchant will start together on the voyage that leads to fortune.\"\n\nIn supporting the resolution on behalf of the Hankow Chamber, **Mr. C. A. Fraser (Messrs. Findlay, Richardson and Co.)** said: It has always been a question of importance and debate as to the best methods whereby British manufacturers can market their wares in China, and I suppose it will always remain so. There are many pros and cons, but one thing is certain, that those who elect to appoint agents and sell to the well-known British firms in China fall heir by the fact of the appointment to many things, i.e., experience which may run to scores of years, selling organisations, the result of much labour and thought, and the use of long names which are household names in many directions, and a guarantee of quality to thousands who might never have heard of the manufacturer's name-famous though it may be in more enlightened trading centres.\n\nBut whether British manufacturers deal direct or through British merchants in China the trade in question is British and as such has the right to have, must have, and does have, the fullest backing of my Chamber. We are not a close corporation for any section of trade, nor have we, I am sure, any desire to be so.\n\nI would like to voice one request to the British manufacturers and that is let the agents, if you appoint them, be British.\n\nWe have had the experience of the German who being agent for a British manufactured article has used that appointment to obtain advice and assistance from British Government officials and British organisations, not, gentlemen, as I need hardly assure you, always for the purpose of pushing that article nor for the furthering of British trade, but for the furthering of his own ends which were usually diametrically opposed to the good of our Empire and the increase of its trading.\n\n**Mr. E. F. Crowe, His Majesty's Commercial Counsellor of Embassy, Tokyo**, expressed the view that the manufacturer could, ordinarily speaking, not have anybody better than the merchant, who had been out here several years, to look after his interests. He himself had advised people to apply to old-established British firms in China or Japan when they were establishing agencies. If a manufacturer had some special article it might suit him to send out an expert who would be attached to the office of that firm, but the British merchant had looked after the interests of the British manufacturer and he thought the British manufacturer could trust the merchant to go on doing this.\n\nSpeaking on a subject discussed at a later stage of the conference, railway standardisation, **Mr. T. R. Johnson, Railway Adviser to the Chinese Government** during the past year, said in part :—\n\"I have only been in China about forty-nine weeks but I have been here long enough to understand that there are great problems in connection with finance which no direct representative of British firms who was here for a comparatively short time could deal with. The two things are necessarily closely associated. But at the same time they can be dealt with apart.\n\n`[5815 c-3]`", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-470 - Public Offices - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 489631, "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": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "page_number": 122, "title": "CO129-471 - Public Offices - 1921", "content_text": "## MINUTES\n\nYes, but I think ...\n\n## MINUTES NOT TO BE WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE\n\nALL COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE CROWN AGENTS FOR THE COLONIES, THE ABOVE REFERENCE AND THE DATE OF THIS LETTER BEING QUOTED.\n\nTELEGRAMS: \"CROWN, LONDON\" TELEPHONE: 7730 VICTORIA.\n\n**CROWN AGENTS FOR THE COLONIES** \n4, MILLBANK, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, S.W. 1.\n\n...ing enough for the job will be late less than the \"solution\" in other ways! \nTh.

A resume of the Government negotiations was contained in the Gazette of the 11th instant and the object of this communication is to set forth the settlement from the Shipowners' point of view in conjunction with the Government communique just referred to. A full and detailed report of the Shipowners' negotiations will be submitted to you as soon as possible, but I consider the subject matter contained in this Preliminary Statement will be of general interest.\n\nCertain points in the Shipowners' negotiation, apart from the question of wages were touched upon in the official Gazette. And it now remains to submit to you the signed preliminary Agreement referred to in the Government record of proceedings. The document which is attached reads as follows:-\n\nIt is hereby agreed between the undersigned parties that the following are the terms of settlement on the matters in dispute between them:\n\n1. The scale of wages paid at Hongkong and in force on 12th day of January, 1922, shall be increased as follows and shall apply as from the 1st January, 1922.\n\nPer Cent.\n1.Chinese River Steamers30\n2.Other Chinese Steamers up to 1,000 tons dead-weight30\n3.Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co., Ltd.20\n4.Other British Companies' River steamers taking the scale of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co., Ltd. as a basis20\n5.Coasting Steamers0\n6.Java Lines15\n7.Pacific Lines15\n8.European Lines15\n9.Australian Lines15\n\n2. A date will be fixed for the general return to work. From the time of leaving until such date, men will receive half pay according to the new scale. Men may be reinstated on any of their own Company's vessels or such vessels as may be mutually agreed upon. If positions are not available for men ready to return to work as above, it is agreed that half pay shall continue for such period as the men are not employed, but not exceeding five and a half (5½) months from the date of the general return to work. This half pay will be administered from a Fund under the control of a duly appointed Administrator.\n\n3. The Owners agree to assist in inaugurating a system of engaging crews which will minimise as far as possible any irregularities which may exist in connection with the pay of seamen.\n\nSigned at Hongkong this fifth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two.\n\n(Signed) R.

Lowe, Bingham & Matthews to draw up a statement on the settlement made, and I attach same hereto. The figures submitted were arrived at by the Chartered Accountants from data obtained directly from the Steamship Companies concerned, and in my opinion represent as accurately as possible the margin of compromise between Owners and Seamen's Representatives.\n\nIt will be noted that while generous concessions have been made in respect of Chinese-owned steamers, the Seamen's Delegates have met the position fairly as regards other lines.

Certain individuals, however, had come forward and said that if it would settle the case, a Fund to meet the case would be raised. No names of the guarantors were mentioned to the Delegates. H.M. Consul-General for Canton in his pronouncement appealed to the Seamen's Union and Representatives of the Canton Chamber of Commerce to subscribe to the movement so generously put forward, and as far as the Canton Chamber of Commerce are concerned they promised to submit the proposal to their main body.\n\nFrom the Government Gazette of Saturday last, I learned Sir Robert Ho Tung is responsible for the establishment of the Fund in question, and I shall get in touch with him immediately to ascertain his views and the scope of the Fund, also details of its administration. This in a measure is a charitable Fund entirely outside the province of the Steamship Owners, but at a meeting held on Wednesday last when the Agreement was ratified I appealed to Owners to do their utmost to generally assist the Administrator, whoever he may be, in making a fair distribution under the terms of our Agreement. It was, however, generally understood that the Fund must be entirely dissociated with the shipowners and administered by an independent official.\n\nPara 3.—This deals with the system of engaging or wa. It has long been recognised that the present system of engagement is unsatisfactory to the men, but unless they help themselves it is useless for owners to extend the hand of a S aroc. The system is not that of the owners, but of the men, and speaking on behalf of the Steamship Companies concerned I would say that we welcome, and will assist in the inauguration of any scheme whereby the wages paid go entirely to the proper parties.\n\nThe unfortunate system of \"equenzo” is not only prevalent in the engagement of Seamen, but in nearly all Chinese dealings of a similar character, and if, as a result of the late unfortunate strike, a clean channel of remuneration will in the future exist between the masters and the men, it will at any rate have achieved a result of undoubted benefit to the community as a whole.\n\nThe foregoing I trust will convey the essential details of settlement and a full report of negotiations will follow should you desire. It may be of interest to add that at the last meeting of shipowners it was unanimously agreed to form a Hongkong Shipowners Association as it is hoped by so doing concerted action and better understanding as between employer and employee will result. Any assistance you can give in the formation and inauguration of such movement will be greatly appreciated.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nA SUTHERLAND, Chairman, Shipowners Committee.\n\nTo\n\nSir Reginald Edward Stubbs, K.C.M.G.,\n\nGovernment House,\n\nHongkong\n\nOF SETTLEMENT SHEWN IN PERCENTAGES OF WAGES.\n\n \n LINES.\n (a) Where Wages over $30\n (b) Where Wages under $30\n \n \n (1) Chinese River Steamers\n 40%\n \n \n \n (2) Other Chinese Steamers up to 7,000 tons P.W.\n ***\n 40%\n \n \n (3) Hongkong Canton & Macao Steamboat Co., Ltd.\n 30%\n 15%\n \n \n (4) Other British River Steamers taking the scale of the Steamboat Co., as a basis\n 40%\n \n \n \n (5) Coasting Steamers\n \n 88\n \n \n (6) Java Lines\n 88\n 88\n \n \n (7) Pacific Lines\n 40%\n \n \n \n \n Seamen's Original demand (Increase percentages in wages)\n Terms accepted (Increase percentage by owners.)\n Seamen's Original demand (Increase percentages in wages)\n Terms accepted (Increase percentage by owners.)\n \n \n (a) European Lines\n \n \n 60%\n 20%-50%\n \n \n (b) Where Wages over $30\n \n \n 20%-60%\n 25%=62.5%\n \n \n (9) Australian Lines\n 88\n 88\n 88\n 88\n \n \n Where Wages under $30\n \n \n 15%-50%\n 15%-50%\n \n \n Where Wages over $30\n 25-82.5%\n 15%-50%\n \n \n \n \n Reduction in Seamen's original demand compared to terms accepted.\n \n 10-2 10%-25 reduction\n \n 25-82.5%\n \n\n(Signed) Lowe, Bingham & Matthews,\n\nChartered Accountants.\n\n252", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-474 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 491877, "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": "CO129-474 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [1-4]", "page_number": 418, "title": "CO129-474 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [1-4]", "content_text": "(B)\n\nTHE CHINESE SEAMEN'S STRIKE.\n\nPRELIMINARY REPORT OF SHIPOWNERS' COMMITTEE.\n\nFollowing is a copy of the Report made to H.E. the Governor by Mr. R.

The white-coated man pushed forward, waving a stick and shouting \"Go on, hit him, hit him:\" The second man, in the brown suit, was shouting in the same way. I did not notice whether he had a stick; he was behind. This man's motion caused a greater uproar amongst the mob and there was waving of sticks, umbrellas and hats and cries of various kinds. I decided to try and get the white-coated man out of the crowd. I could see I was losing control of the crowd, and if we got rid of these two men I thought we might still hold on. The white-coated man was then just in front of me. I leaned forward and grabbed him with my left hand, meaning to pass him to Sub-Inspector Pitt who was just at my right hand. The object was to get this man's influence out of the crowd.

K. Erani and family who are shortly leaving for their native land were entertained at a dinner party held in their honour at the Parsee Club by the Parsee community of Hongkong. Mr. Erani has been manager of Messrs. N. Moody & Co. of Bombay, Calcutta & Hongkong, and has acted as Hon. Secretary and subsequently as President of the Zoroastrian Charity Funds for a considerable time past. He has always taken a very active interest in the management and administration of the funds, and as a mark of esteem and appreciation of the signal services rendered by him to the community in these capacities, he was after the dinner presented with a purse donated by his numerous friends and well-wishers of Hongkong and Canton and a bouquet of flowers was presented to Mrs. Erani by Miss Frany Ruttonjee.

Mr. Lau Chu Pak, the senior Chinese member of the Legislative Council, has intimated to H.E. The Governor his wish to resign his seat. The Hon. Mr. Lau Chu Pak has had a seat on the Council for the past eight years. He feels that he has reached a time of life when he requires more leisure. For the past thirty years he has devoted a good deal of his time and energy to public affairs. He is at the present time Chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and of the Chinese Committee formed in connection with the impending visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. He feels that these positions make sufficient demand on his time and has consequently asked to be relieved from further service on the Legislative Council. If the resignation takes effect the Chinese community will certainly lose a representative who has watched their interests with every care and attention on the Council. The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is trying to induce Mr. Lau Chu Pak to reconsider his decision.\n\nWEDDING.\nDINSDALE-SMITH.\n\nAt the Peak Church, on March 22nd, Mr. F. A.

Miss Hilary Lowe, the bridesmaid, was attired in mauve crepe de chine.\n\nThe bride was given away by her brother, Mr. R. M. Smith, and Mr. J. D. H. Crawford, of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, acted as best man.\n\nAfterwards a reception was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. M.

He was appointed a student interpreter in China on March 30th, 1880, and the following record shows his subsequent career: Acting Consul at Foochow, 1888; at Kiukiang, 1889; Acting Consul at Ichang, 1889 to 1891; Acting Vice-Consul at Chemulpo, Corea, 1891 to 1892; Acting Consul at Chemulpo, 1892 to 1894; promoted First Assistant, December 1st, 1893; Vice-Consul at Canton, 1895 to 1897; Acting Consul there 1895 to 1897; promoted Vice-Consul at Pagoda Island, 1897; Consul at Chinkiang, 1899; Acting Consul at Foochow, 1898 to 1899; Acting Consul-General at Hankow, 1900 to 1901; Consul-General at Hankow from July 1st, 1901, until 1911, when he was transferred to Shanghai where he had since remained.\n\nPage 299\n\nTHE LATE MR. A. H. CREW\nTRIBUTES BY THE LEGAL PROFESSION.\n\nMembers of the legal profession assembled in the Supreme Court, on March 20th, before the Criminal Sessions opened, to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Mr. A. H. Crew whose death from illness occurred in Hongkong on March 3rd.\n\nThe CHIEF JUSTICE (Sir William Rees Davies) said:- Mr. Attorney,-Again the ranks of the legal profession are depleted, by the death, at an early age, of Mr. Crew. Possessed of a lovable disposition and a genial nature, he had a host of friends who deeply mourn his death. He had practised in these Courts for ten years and was a sound lawyer and a very capable advocate. It is fitting, before we proceed to the business of the Court, that we should testify to the loss which the profession has sustained and tender our respectful sympathy to his family in their sorrow.\n\nThe PUISNE JUDGE (Mr. Justice Gonipertz), said that, having presided for many years in the Summary Court, where Mr. Crew had a very great deal of work, he wished to add his testimony to his good qualities. An excellent lawyer and advocate, the late Mr. Crew was very fair and absolutely straight, and it was a great pleasure to hear him either argue a point of law or present the facts of a case. He doubted whether there was any man in the profession who was so universally loved and whose loss would leave a greater gap in its ranks.\n\nSir Everard received the C.M.G. decoration in 1901 and was created K.C.M.G. in 1912. In 1911 he was honoured with the Coronation Medal. He married in 1899, a daughter of Mr. A. W. Walkinshaw of Foochow.\n\nFew Consuls have enjoyed the confidence and esteem of their nationals in a greater degree than the late Sir Everard Fraser did, and his death, which appears to have come very unexpectedly, must have been a great shock to the whole community of Shanghai, and will be deeply lamented by his many friends and by all indeed who have at any time come into touch with him either in his official capacity or socially. His death is a great loss to the British Consular service in China.\n\nTHE DAIRY FARM HERD, FROM ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND, TO POKFULUM.\n\nA considerable addition to the Dairy Farm herd reached the Colony by the motor vessel Glenogle, a few days ago. Two bulls and 68 cows were obtained from Scotland but, in spite of one death in London before shipment and one on the voyage, the herd reached Hongkong numerically much stronger than it started on the voyage. About 40 calves were born on the way and 24 of them landed here. Others became veal, or were otherwise accounted for, en route.\n\nTwo expert cattle men from Aberdeen accompanied the herd and must have found their hands full looking after such a large and increasing family. The passengers came off very well: rarely are there such quantities of milk on shipboard as the Glenogle had. Attempts were made, with moderate success, to convert some of it into butter.\n\nSpeaking on behalf of both branches of the legal profession, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL (the Hon. Mr. J. H. Kemp, K.C.) said he wished to express their great sense of loss at the death of Mr. Crew and to join with their Lordships in offering sympathy with the members of his family.\n\nNEW APPLIANCES FOR THE FIRE BRIGADE.\nTHE DENNIS PATENT TURBINE FIRE ENGINE.\n\nThere were unloaded from the motor vessel Glenade, on Mar. 18th, two Dennis Patent Turbine Fire Engines, each with a 50-feet extension ladder, purchased by the Government for the Fire Brigade at a cost of approximately £2,500 sterling each.\n\nThis type of fire appliance, of which many are in use with the London Fire Brigade, is a handsome, solidly built and well-engineered affair weighing, complete, about 6 tons. The engine develops 60-65 horse power; it has four cylinders and accumulator coil ignition. There are four forward gears and a reverse.\n\nThe fire engine is fitted with all the latest devices including a \"first-aid\" fire appliance; that is to say, it has an auxiliary pump, with 120 feet of rubber tubing, for coping with fires which turn out to be small; thereby damage by water is reduced. The principal pump is driven off the main shaft. The ladder has a patent safety clip which prevents any danger of its telescoping after extension.\n\nA trial run of one of the machines, on March 19th, gave the highest satisfaction. The engine ran magnificently and developed a high speed without any undue noise. It was noted, too, that the engine was most compact and that all the working parts were readily accessible.\n\nAnother shipment of cattle for the Dairy Farm Company is on the way to the Colony by the Glenary. Transportation of cattle is undertaken at this time of the year because the cattle travel better in the cooler weather: also they arrive in time to help meet the big summer demand for milk. Lately the Dairy Farm has had to refuse new customers but it will now be able to supply everyone.\n\nIt only remains to maintain a supply of drivers capable of treating such fine machines with the respect they deserve.\n\nPage ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492114, "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": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "312\n\nCOMPANY MEETINGS,\n\nGANDE, PRICE & CO., LTD.\n\nThe 15th ordinary annual meeting of Messrs. Gande, Price & Co., Ltd., was held at the Company's office, No. 8, Queen's Road Central, on March 17th.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak presided, and there were present Messrs. S. C. Pank, C. H. Lyson and Lau Po-wing (directors), Mr. C. Bond (Secretary), and Messrs. J. J. Blake, D. Rumjahn, Leung Yan-po, Pang Kwok-sui, Pang Kwok-lat and S. Yamauchi (shareholders).\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said:-The nett profit for the year under review is $40,544.86, which I am pleased to say, is an increase of $24,382.25 over that of the previous year, and, taking into consideration that business generally during the past year has been exceptionally bad throughout the Far East, your Directors are of opinion that the balance sheet as placed before you is a very creditable one. The nett profit of $40,544.86, together with the balance of $2,712.86 brought forward from credit of profit and loss account for 1920, makes a total credit of $43,258.02, which your Directors recommend to be disposed of as follows:—\n\nTo pay a dividend of $1 per share on 18,105 shares, which will absorb $18,105; to write off goodwill account $10,000; transfer to general reserve account $10,000; and carry forward the balance of $5,153.02 to this year's account.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS & ... per annum, were approved on the proposition of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. M. S. NORTHCOTE.\n\n[March 25th, 1922.\n\nMr. H. BIRKETT, in seconding said:-I consider it as a great honour to have the privilege of seconding the very fine report now before this meeting. I feel sure you will agree with me that the accounts now before you are nothing less than marvellous, taking into consideration the condition of the shipping industry the world over during the past year.—(Applause.) Many shipbuilding yards at Home have not only been unable to pay their way but they have had to close down. Thanks to our energetic Manager and his efficient staff we have been able to maintain our record dividend and bonus of last year and yet only pay out fifty per cent. of our profit. Regarding the bonus to the staff I am sure you will agree with me when I say that they have more than earned it.—(Applause.) With these few remarks I beg to second the report and accounts before you.\n\nHONGKONG AND WHAMPOA DOCK CO., LTD.\n\nThe ordinary general meeting of shareholders in this Company was held at the offices on March 20th. Mr. H. P. White (Chairman) presided and there were also present: the Hon. Sir Paul Chater, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Mr. D. G. M. Bernard, Mr. G. M. Dodwell and Mr. P. A. Cox (Directors); Mr. R. M. Dyer (Chief Manager); Mr. E. L. Hosie (secretary); and the following shareholders: the Hon. Mr. A. O. Lang, Messrs. G. P. Lammert, T. E. Pearce, W. Budge, H. Birkett, Lo Cheung Shiu, M. A. Razack, F. Ellis, Chau Siu Ki, Man Kook Ming, Kelly Sayce, N. V. A. Croucher, H. L. Yeung, E. Abraham, P. M. N. da Silva, A. R. Austin, and Dr. J. Donelan.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said:-Gentlemen, It is with considerable pleasure that we come before you with such a favourable report for 1921, a year which has not been remarkable for any great commercial activity. Our shipbuilding output for that period was over 27,000 tons of 18,000 indicated horsepower, a figure which compares well with some of the largest shipyards at home, and will convey to you some idea of the capacity of our establishments in normal times. In addition, I think I can assure you that the various ships built, which have included oil tankers and passenger and cargo steamers, have given every satisfaction to their owners. (Applause.) I think you will agree with me that it is a wise precaution to further strengthen our general reserve account and write down our goodwill account as it enables us to meet any unforeseen emergency that may happen in the future, especially as business has been practically at a standstill during the past two months. In conclusion, I wish to thank the management on behalf of the Directors and shareholders for the able manner in which they have looked after our interests, and I trust that the staff will continue as they have done in the past.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then proposed the adoption of the report and accounts.\n\nMr. J. J. BLAKE seconded and endorsed the Chairman's thanks to the staff.\n\nThe motion was carried.\n\nMr. C. H. LYSON was unanimously re-elected a director on the proposal of Mr. BOND, seconded by Mr. BLAKE.\n\nMessrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews were re-elected auditors on the proposal of Mr. Pang, seconded by Mr. LEUNG YAN-PO.\n\nMr. BLAKE said that some time ago the directors had voluntarily given up their fees, and in view of the Company's position now, he had much pleasure in proposing that the meeting vote the return of the directors' fees, and increase them from $500 to $750 each.\n\nMr. BOND seconded, and the motion was carried.\n\nA bonus of 10 per cent. on their year's salaries was voted to the staff.\n\nHUMPHREYS ESTATE AND FINANCE CO., LTD.\n\nTHE PROPOSED NEW DRY DOCK.\n\nWith reference to the remarks of my predecessor regarding our proposed large new dry dock, you will be interested to hear that we have commenced to level all the additional ground recently acquired at the back of our Kowloon premises. This work will take about three years, and, when completed, in addition to a site large enough for the dock, will give us space for a new iron and steel foundry and additional European quarters. The actual construction of the dock has not yet been decided on, but will in due course have the consideration of your directors.\n\nOther improvements in hand include the rebuilding of the machine shops at Cosmopolitan Dock, and new steel caissons to replace the present wooden ones at our Nos. 2 and 3 docks at Kowloon.\n\nMr. CHEUNG SHIU seconded the re-election of Sir Paul Chater and Mr. H. P. White as directors.\n\nThis was agreed to.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. A. O. LANG moved that the appointments of Mr. D. G. M. Bernard and Mr. P. A. Cox to the Board of Directors, be confirmed.\n\nThis was seconded by Mr. SILVA and carried.\n\nMr. G. P. LAMMERT moved the re-election of the auditors, Mr. H. Percy Smith and Mr. A. R. Lowe, at a remuneration of $1,500 each.\n\nMr. N. V. A. CROUCHER seconded and the resolution was carried.\n\nCOMPANY REPORTS.\n\nCHINA SUGAR REFINING CO., LTD.\n\nThe report for presentation to the shareholders reads as follows:-\n\nThe General Agents beg to submit to the shareholders their report on the Company's business for the year ending December 31st, 1921.\n\nThe balance at debit of profit and loss account after deducting the sum of $75,871.11 brought forward from last year amounts to $520,248.33; to meet this the sum of $520,248.33 has been transferred from Sugar Fluctuation Account to the credit of profit and loss account.\n\nThe General and the Consulting Committee recommend the payment of a dividend of $5 per share out of the amount at credit of equalization of dividend fund, which will absorb $100,000, and, if agreed to, will leave a balance of $500,000 to the credit of equalization of dividend fund.\n\nConsulting Committee. The General agents regret to have recorded the death of Mr. Francis Maitland who has been actively interested in this Company since 1906 in the capacity of a member of the Consulting Committee.\n\nYou will notice that we have again provided liberally for depreciation. This is made up on basis of about 20 per cent. off additions during the year, 20 per cent. off floating plant, all the additions to plant, machinery and buildings at Cosmopolitan Dock and 10 per cent. off the remainder. The bonus to the staff, as in previous year, represents twenty per cent. of their annual salaries, which I trust you will consider the results of the year's working justifies. (Applause.)\n\nThe present Committee consists of Hon. Sir Paul Chater, Kt., C.M.G., Hon. Mr. A. O. Lang, Messrs. H. P. White, and E. J. Chapman who offer themselves for re-election.\n\nWith regard to the future, as is well-known to all of you, the present outlook for shipping and shipbuilding is not particularly bright, but with our well-equipped establishments, efficient staff, and small capital, I can only assure you that we are in a wonderfully strong position to compete for a fair share of whatever business there is to be obtained. (Applause.)\n\nAn extraordinary general meeting of this Company was held at the Hongkong Club on March 20th, to confirm resolutions passed at an extraordinary general meeting on March 3rd. Mr. Henry Humphreys presided and there were also present the Hon. Mr. A. O. Lang, Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, Mr. W. L. Pattenden, Mr. J. M. Alves (Directors), Mr. G. Rapp (secretary), and Messrs. M. S. Northcote, J.D. Humphreys, W. Morley, and D. E. Clarke (shareholders).\n\nThe resolutions, which authorise an increase in the remuneration of the general managers from $8,000 to $10,000...\n\nWith these few remarks I beg to propose the adoption of the report and accounts and after they have been seconded I shall be glad to answer to the best of my ability any questions that shareholders may desire to ask.\n\nHONGKONG FIRE INSURANCE CO., LTD.\n\nWe are officially informed, that subject to audit, the General Managers and Consulting Committee of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Co., Ltd., will recommend at the forthcoming meeting of shareholders to be held on 31st instant, the payment out of the profits for the year 1920 of a dividend of $30 per share absorbing $240,000 and to pass £38,014 13s. 2d. at ex 2/7=$294,307.02 to credit of reinsurance fund; carrying forward $501,039.11 in respect of the year 1921.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492115, "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": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 45, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "March 25th, 1922.]\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nHONGKONG FIRE INSURANCE CO.

Lowe, Bingham & Matthews advise us that the annual general meeting of the Gula-Kalumpong Rubber Estates, Ltd., will be held in London on April 4th, the Share Register being closed from March 24th to April 4th, both days inclusive. The balance at credit of profit and loss account is £53,673.15s., from which the following dividends payable on and after April 11th to all shareholders registered on April 4th and bearer share coupons, subject to confirmation at the annual meeting, have been allocated: Fully paid-up shares, 1/6d.; partly-paid shares, 4¾d. less income-tax at the rate of 6s. in the pound. It is proposed to place at reserve fund £7,176.3s.4d. and carry forward £49,406.2s.5d. Forward sales of rubber for 1922 are 145 tons at 2/8d.

The fixed rate of interest on the shareholders' capital is 8 per cent. This equals $1,200,000.\n\nIn addition to this reserve fund and interest 30 per cent. will be placed to the special reserve fund, i.e., $791,906.97. The directors have decided to allow on each share a dividend of eight per cent, the total being $1,200,000.

A STATEMENT IN PARLIAMENT.\n\n318\n\nLONDON, March 31st.\n\nIn the House of Commons, replying to Mr. Lestrange Malone, Mr. Harmsworth said the number of British officials paid by the British Government on Foreign Office vote (Diplomatic, Consular and Commercial Diplomatic Services) and employed in China was 106. No British officials on the Foreign Office active service list were employed in the service of the Chinese Government or paid by the Government. A number of British subjects were employed and paid by the Chinese Government in the Customs, Salt, and other Departments but the details were not available.\n\nBANQUE INDUSTRIELLE.\n\nMINISTERIAL DECREE AGAINST M. PHILIPPE BERTHELOT.\n\nPARIS, March 16th. A Ministerial decree places M. Philippe Berthelot on the retired list for ten years.\n\nASSOCIATED CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE OF KWANGTUNG AN INAUGURAL MEETING.\n\nCANTON, March 20th. An Association of the Chambers of Commerce of Kwangtung was inaugurated at Canton. The ceremony was attended by over 500 prominent men including officials, merchants, and labour leaders. Among those present were Major Sun Fo; Che Chih, Chief Secretary to President Sun; Dr. Jamieson, British Consul-General; Mr. A. H. Harris, Commissioner of Customs, Messrs. Tso Ying-pak, Fung Chih-yau, Tang Tseh-yu, Che Leung-mu, and others.\n\nMr. Woon, President of the Association, occupied the chair. A message of congratulation was read from Governor Chen Chiung-ming, and numerous congratulatory speeches were delivered.\n\nIn the House of Commons, replying to a question, Mr. Churchill, Secretary of State for the Colonies, announced that the Governor of Hongkong had reported that his Government, in consultation with the Society (Societies?) for the protection and abolition of mui-tsai, would draw up a scheme for the abolition of the system.---- (Cheers.) This would take time. Meanwhile, Mr. Churchill said he had directed the issue of a Proclamation stating that the status of mui-tsai, as existing in China, would not be recognised in Hongkong in future. Particularly, no commission for girls over twelve to leave their homes would be allowed.\n\nDr. JAMIESON, H.M.'s Consul-General, delivered a speech which was interpreted into Chinese. He dwelt upon the mutual interests of Hongkong and Canton and expressed a hope that the Association would undertake to get rid of certain old practices which were obstacles to the prosperity of business in the province.\n\nMr. HARRIS, Commissioner of Customs, addressed the gathering in Mandarin.\n\nMr. CHE CHIH, President Sun's Chief Secretary, pointed out that some of the existing Chambers of Commerce in China were not established for all merchants but for the more wealthy ones—not for the purpose of promoting commerce and industry, but for the social purposes of a few.\n\nMr. Che recommended to the officers of the Association that this organization must be made democratic so that every merchant throughout the province could have the same privilege of membership.\n\nGeneral HSU SHAO-CHING said that the Association was proposed by President Sun Yat-sen at a banquet given to the prominent merchants of the city and the President is expecting that the one in Kwangtung will set a good example so that a similar merchants' institute will be organized in other provinces when the country is unified.\n\nMayor SUN FO said there should be no division of the classes in regard to labour and capital in China. The Association of Chambers of Commerce will not only co-operate in the development of industries but encourage good feelings between businessmen and workers.\n\n[In connection with this subject the following paragraph from yesterday's Canton Times is of interest:-\n\nThe mui-tsai system was recently abolished by a Presidential proclamation, but the future occupation of the newly-freed girls has now become one of the vital questions engaging considerable attention from the women of Canton, who propose to organize as many industrial institutions as possible in which to place these \"fortunates\" and give them the necessary vocational education to enable them to earn an independent living after they have secured their freedom. Many public-spirited citizens who advocated the abolition of slave girls are in favour of the proposition, and now advocate the immediate establishment of such institutions. The necessary funds may be donated by the Government and raised from the public. Concerning the campaign of raising funds, regulations have been drawn up to be submitted to the Government for approval.”\n\n\"HONGKONG'S CHILD SLAVES.”\n\nLONDON, March 22nd.\n\nThe Daily News is gratified at the news that \"the Child Slaves in Hongkong\" are to be freed. It congratulates Mr. Churchill on the characteristic thoroughness of his announcement and the prudent measures taken to ensure the drawing up of a practical scheme for the future welfare of the liberated children.\n\nIt was seven years since Mr. Henry Arthur Jones had produced a play in London, said Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in proposing the health of the distinguished dramatist at a dinner in his honour at the Authors' Club. There was something amiss in that, continued Sir Arthur, because he had actually during that time produced then elsewhere. I hope we are not going to have another tragedy like that of Mr. Thomas Hardy,\" he added. \"For reasons which have never been clear to me, but which I believe are partially due to criticism he resented, he ceased to write the finest series of novels brought out in our generation.”", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492374, "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": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 304, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "Copy.\n\nThe Honourable Sir,\n\nThe Colonial Secretary.\n\n258\n\nHongkong, 3rd December, 1921.\n\nRe: Yaumati Ferry Service (Your reference 990/1919)\n\nWith reference to your letter to us of the 29th October 1920 (76260/21) we beg to inform you that Messrs.

That the business which they carried on was a legitimate commercial enterprise and that they were entitled to be allowed to enjoy the fruits of their labour. That the Ferry Services were brought to a considerable state of efficiency through your Petitioners' efforts and that to a large extent the demand for such services was increased by the satisfactory nature of the services supplied by your Petitioners. That on the 31st day of December 1918 the goodwill of your Petitioners' business was worth at least $250,000 and that had they in the year 1918 sold their business as a going concern they would have been entitled to at least that sum in respect of the goodwill thereof.\n\n12. Your Petitioners desire to draw attention to the fact (which appears from the original Petition) that the Government of Hongkong expressly stated that in passing the Ferries Ordinance the Government was not actuated by any idea of obtaining revenue. It will be seen however from Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews' report that the present concessionaires of the Ferry Service pay to the Government for the privilege of running the business which was created and built up by your Petitioners an annual sum of no less than $118,800.\n\n4\n\n13.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492472, "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": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 402, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "Page 355\n\nA32\n\n... setting erotest of ajoelzen to nesuten ylistiłw ofw reyolqmə ynå (0)\n\nsideil ed noido ivno0 grammut no IIsde snaraq end of Leed-kom dowE evari lisda ajaıda izzali ont bas 0038 gribesoxe toa enit » oj Land-ium down to moždarojast and tot rebro dove exam of 19woq .sk Amind you of as ,bræo noitsineeerq yns to ammet edt zai bastadtintol (») IIIV beretsiger yns of gnitaler revsosjadw Jnamoob redto bas JosijnOS ot bejowiJnos eveď od bamseb ed IIade isat-kım riqve ‚iest-iımı dt iw gaiyle▼ ersey to redaam niedieo a 10? reyolque edj avier oj izaj-ium s ammoed jaril ada neɗw isat-tum dove to ega erit aidt of A sidet end of anibrooos betelmiao Teyolçme dove Nova stacy to radim dove to noidsrigxe eɗð ja reyolqan yna .Teyolque edt evasi ot sert ed Ilada isat-kum ysw yao ni yo evsel ot iset-tum rious wolla oj nesuter odw eldail ed Ilada yaivasi os mort fast- tum doga stebaid to etsslom .00d* gnibesore Jon anit s od noitoivnoj TrammƐ no Isvorçqs edt dj iw meber emij yna je yam inGraq yná (d)\n\nisej-ium bereta iger yns existia saanino xo1 pratera2 edt to bisq qilamizito mua ed‡ 26 traq a repolque edt of gaibauter yd ent of Ianoitroqorq Land-tum beredeizer do va tol zeyolque soit yd laj-im beredalger dove doidw yol srsey to redam zainismer Binj da eldał ddiw eɔnabrosos al reyolque ant avies Of Bad Toyolque edit yd bisq yilsabzizo mwa erit darīt bebivor¶\n\n.oal basoxe of Jom ba.eeb að IIsde bisaezola aa ZONJOńw OJ EA Jduob ni ed liada reyolque yna Gaso ni (0) ert Jost mi at noldoeƐ sirit Tebar meeber of zubiees Jusraq yns of es etwqaib yne ed Ilade sredt zo,amebat of norteq egong end Tster Ilada Jnereq yo reyolqme ent .coinq noidqnebot erit mojejɔah seoɗw eristła sasnim to? yisteroeë ent of reJJEM\n\nseitzaq djod no gnibald bus Ianit ed Liada\n\not atselgen 10 aseuter ylivħliw odw reyolqme yna\n\nwolla\n\n(b)\n\nallow any parent to redeem any registered mui-tsai shall be liable on Summary Conviction to a fine not exceeding $500, and the magistrate shall have power to make such order for the restoration of such mai-tsai as he may think fit.\n\nII.

This course is being adopted by the Engineer carrying out the reclamation work at Marine Lots 430 and 431. The type of wharfage being adopted by them is, however, only to accommodate small craft and is in consequence of light construction; they are of the opinion that it will effect\n\na saving in cost compared with that of a vertical seawall.\n\nThe type of wharfage shown in sketch plan \"C\", which is considered suitable for deep \"draughted\" ships, is of a much heavier type of construction, and its cost, including that of the mound, would probably be greater than that of a vertical wall, that is, if the wharfage is carried continuously throughout its entire length.\n\nThe reclamation now being dealt with by Government at the Eastern end (Quarry Bay) is also being carried out with the ordinary type of rubble mound and seawall, but in this case, no pier or wharf is being constructed as the lessee...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492666, "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": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "page_number": 19, "title": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "content_text": "SI \n\narew htengið .emki il nevű \n\n„nonetI emooed of toe is yem yans ens toajdus doner¤ e se hatqeone \n\nrowe misio y (no b (woo mi wal netiek na stesse a'breanuri banaaseb zeď to noléroq noitroq ail „wobiw ode to: nabivorq yondashit to Joaquet erit of toeidum skemmet i [vow netó (kno end of bergies8 erit nmekuw ne[[inuta▼ to yðsett ert Tabnu ægrario leteseb sit at wel ditzemob donerI sqmoon of senono ReİSİTORİJUM -Sijaininba edt tebru sanaqeve nt abouï sdr sunię bite.

SHIPOWNERS AND SHIPPING CONTROL PROFITS. COUNCIL ADDRESSED BY COUNSEL. NEW REGISTRATION LEGISLATION. INFORMATION DESIRED AS TO EACH MAN'S SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS.\n\nA meeting of the Legislative Council was held in the Council Chamber yesterday. There were present:- HIS EXCELLENCY THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT (Mr. CLAUD SEVERN, C.M.G.). Hon. the Officer in Command of the Troops (Major-General Sir JOHN FOWLER, K.C.M.G., C.B., D.S.O.). Hon. Mr. A. G. M. FLEMING, C.M.G., C.B.E. (Colonial Secretary). Hon. Mr. J. H. KEMP, C.M.G., K.C. (Attorney-General). Hon. Mr. E. HALLIFAX, O.B.E. (Secretary for Chinese Affairs). Hon. Mr. E. A. IRVING (Director of Education). Hon. Mr. T. L. PARKINS (Director of Public Works). Hon. Mr. E. V. D. PARR. Hon. Mr. A. O. LANG. Hon. Mr. CHOW SHUOT-SON. Hon. Mr. A. R. LOWE. Hon. Mr. H. W. BIRD. Hon. Mr. NG HON TSZ. Mr. A. DYER BALL (Clerk of Councils).\n\nPRESIDENT. ABSENT. MINUTES. TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MR. MURRAY STEWART.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY, by command of H.E. The Officer Administering the Government, laid on the table the following By-law made under section 18 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance 1903, Ordinance No. 1 of 1903, and moved that it be approved by the Council.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY explained that the amended By-law included rabies in the list of notifiable infectious diseases and he moved that the amendment be approved by the Legislative Council.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded and the motion was agreed to.\n\nQUESTIONS.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the first reading of a Bill intituled An Ordinance to provide for the registration of certain persons. He said: This Bill is merely a re-enactment of the existing Registration of Persons Ordinance, with certain limitations.\n\n1. The object of this Bill is to get every person liable to registration to register afresh, giving the particulars set out in the Second Schedule.\n\n2. Clause 3 of the Bill is added because in 1920 the sum of $10,000 was paid out of the accumulated revenue of the Chinese Recreation Ground towards the cost of constructing the Maternity Hospital at Sai Ying Pun.\n\n3. Every person liable to registration, every person except the person specified in the First Schedule, will have to register afresh under the new Ordinance.\n\n4. The principal change introduced by the new Bill is that in future it will be necessary for everyone liable to registration to state any special qualifications which they may possess and which are not disclosed by the mere statement of a person's profession or occupation.\n\n5. The following minor changes have also been made:\n\n6. Persons arriving in the Colony after the commencement of the Ordinance will have a month in which to register, instead of two weeks as at present.\n\n7. Every registered person will have to report to the Captain Superintendent of Police any intended departure from the Colony which is intended to extend, or may possibly extend, to a period of more than one month.\n\n8. Returns will no longer be required to be witnessed.\n\n9. The maximum fine is made $200 in accordance with what may be called the standard fine for minor offences.\n\n10. In order to facilitate proof, it is presumed that the accused person was liable to registration.\n\n11. Women are excluded from the Ordinance altogether, and need not register.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. H. W. BIRD asked the following questions:-\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY replied:- 1. The average period is 22 days.\n\n2. The Government does not claim that the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance rendered null and void certain provisions of the Ordinance.\n\n3. Reference of plans to be Governor-in-Council is almost invariably for the purpose of a modification of, or exemption from, certain requirements of the Ordinance.\n\nREGISTRATION OF PERSONS ORDINANCE.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the first reading of a Bill intituled An Ordinance to provide for the registration of certain persons.\n\nRECREATION GROUNDS AMENDMENT ORDINANCE.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the first reading of a Bill intituled An Ordinance to amend the Recreation Ground Ordinance.\n\nGAME PROTECTION ORDINANCE.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the first reading of a Bill intituled An Ordinance to make provision for the protection of birds and game.\n\nThe Objects and Reasons state: 1. The present Ordinance dealing with this subject-Ordinance No. 15, 1914-is somewhat satisfactory in parts and not in others.\n\n2. The principal change which the Bill makes is that persons who register will have to give particulars of any special qualifications which they may possess.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the first reading was approved.\n\nSUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION BILL.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY, by command of H.E. The Officer Administering the Government, laid upon the table Financial Minute No. 12 to 17 and moved that it be referred to the Finance Committee.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded and the motion was agreed to.\n\nFINANCE COMMITTEE.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY, by command of H.E. The Officer Administering the Government, laid upon the table the Report of the Finance Committee (No. 77) and moved that it be adopted.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded and the motion was agreed to.\n\nPage 226\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY moved the first reading of a Bill intituled An Ordinance to authorise the Appropriation of a Supplementary Sum of One million and one thousand two hundred and sixty-two dollars and twelve cents to defray the charges of the year 1921.\n\n...\n\nPage 227", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492907, "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": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "page_number": 260, "title": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nThere are\n\n# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nI\n\n95\n\nThe amendment was approved and the Bill, having passed through Committee, the Council resumed.\n\nHON.

I mention agreements because, while there are certain other classes of instruments which are affected by the clause, by far the most important class of document affected is the agreement.\n\nAt present, under the existing law, an agreement must be stamped within seven days of execution, and if not so stamped it cannot be produced as evidence. The principal Ordinance contains a certain power of stamping agreements out of time, but the section is worded so strictly that an agreement can be stamped out of time only under very exceptional circumstances.\n\nAgreements are often entered into by persons who have no legal training, who have received no legal advice, and who probably do not think for a moment of the obligation to stamp. If litigation ensues, the party to an unstamped agreement may find either that he cannot enforce his claim against the defendant or cannot defend himself against the plaintiff's claim, simply because his agreement was not stamped within seven days.\n\nNo. The other side is, therefore, sometimes provided with a not very moral defence, or a not very moral ground of claim, and great hardship is caused. It was thought when the principal Ordinance was drafted...\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY, by command of H.E. The Officer Administering the Government, laid on the table Financial No. 73, and moved that it be referred to the Finance Committee.\n\nTHE COLONIAL TREASURER seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\nPage 89\n\n...\n\nMinutes of the last meeting of the Council were approved and signed by the President.\n\nPresent at the meeting were:\n\nHon.

The Canton mint has just entered into a contract for the supply of 20,000,000 ounces of silver to be converted into subsidiary coinage, and the explanation given for this large order is that, owing to the general increase in wages, there are not enough 20-cent pieces—the local unit of currency—in circulation to satisfy the demand.\n\nYing-po's activities are ostensibly directed, and a reference to the list of strikes in Canton in 1921, enclosed in my despatch of the 11th March, will show with what success they have been crowned. The lowest increment of wages shown on that list is at the rate of 20 per cent, the highest at the rate of 50 per cent.\n\n10. The new situation thus created having admittedly to be faced, it remains for the foreigner frankly to recognise that for him the Chinese world has changed, that it is incumbent on him to change with it, and that the change will least be felt by his cultivating a sympathetic understanding with the people by whom he is surrounded and with whom he trades.\n\nEven to-day, as I found when settling the strike in Hong Kong, there are few Chinese who will not respond to the call of abstract right (reason) and fair dealing.\n\n11. A preliminary statement of the shipowners' version of the negotiations during the strike having now been published, I have the honour to enclose a copy thereof, to be read in connection with the despatch above quoted.\n\nYour Excellency,\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. W. JAMIESON.\n\nHong Kong, March 14, 1922.\n\nI HAVE now the honour to transmit a preliminary report on the settlement arrived at with the delegates of the Seamen's Union in connection with the recent strike. A résumé of the Government negotiations was contained in the \"Gazette\" of the 11th instant, and the object of this communication is to set forth the settlement from the shipowners' point of view in conjunction with the Government communiqué just referred to. A full and detailed report of the shipowners' negotiations will be submitted to you as soon as possible, but I consider the subject-matter contained in this preliminary statement will be of general interest.\n\nCertain points in the shipowners' negotiations, apart from the question of wages, were touched upon in the official \"Gazette,\" and it now remains to submit to you the signed preliminary agreement referred to in the Government record of proceedings. The document which is attached reads as follows:-\n\n\"It is hereby agreed between the undersigned parties that the following are the terms of settlement on the matters in dispute between them:-\n\n\"1. The scale of wages paid at Hong Kong and in force on the 12th day of January, 1922, shall be increased as follows, and shall apply as from the 1st January, 1922:-\n\nPer cent.\n(1.) Chinese river steamers30\n(2.) Other Chinese steamers up to 1,000 tons deadweight30\n(3.) Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company (Limited)20\n(4.) Other British Companies' river steamers, taking the scale of the Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company (Limited) as a basis20\n(5.) Coasting steamers20\n(6.) Java lines15\n(7.) Pacific lines15\n(8.) European lines15\n(9.) Australian lines15\n\n\"2. A date will be fixed for the general return to work. From the time of leaving until such date, men will receive half-pay according to the new scale. Men may be reinstated on any of their own company's vessels or such vessels as may be mutually agreed upon. If positions are not available for men ready to return to work as above it is agreed that half-pay shall continue for such period as the men are not employed, but not exceeding five and a-half months from the date of the general return to work. This half pay will be administered from a fund under the control of a duly appointed administrator.\n\n\"3. The owners agree to assist in inaugurating a system of engaging crews which will minimise as far as possible any irregularities which may exist in connection with the pay of seamen.\n\nSigned at Hong Kong, this 5th day of March, 1922.\n\n\"R. SUTHERLAND, Chairman, Shipowners' Committee.\n\n\"J. W. JAMIESON, His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Canton.\n\n\"CHAK HON KE (Chinese Chop.)\n\n\"Lo Tsun MAX (Chinese Chop.)\n\n\"LUK KING FO, Secretary to Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, Canton.\"\n\nThe agreement as above was arrived at after some two months of negotiation. To those not intimately connected with the subject it will require explanatory remarks. I would therefore beg leave to comment as follows:-\n\nClause 1. This sets forth the scale of wages agreed. For your information I would say that, in order to give the exact effect of the strike as affecting shipping—the key industry of the colony—I requested Messrs. Lowe, Bingham and Matthews to draw up a statement on the settlement made, and I attach same hereto. The figures submitted were arrived at by the chartered accountants from data obtained directly from the steamship companies concerned, and, in my opinion, represent as accurately as possible the margin of compromise between owners and seamen's representatives.\n\nIt will be noted that while generous concessions have been made in respect of Chinese-owned steamers, the seamen's delegates have met the position very fully as regards other lines. The preliminary difficulty in negotiations was that the union demanded a flat percentage of increase to be effected over all lines, notwithstanding that some shipping companies comparatively recently had voluntarily given an increase of some 18-25 per cent. to meet the higher cost of living. It was on this point that it became apparent at the outset that difficulties were almost sure to arise between the union and the owners. It will be found, therefore, that as regards companies who had not raised the scale of wages for a series of years the seamen's demands have been met to a considerable extent, and it was the general opinion of the shipping companies I have had the honour to represent that substantial concessions should be made by such lines. It is with pleasure that I have to record that the Chinese owners were among the first to acquiesce with the suggestion put forth that this immediate increase should be made.\n\nIt will be noted that the shipping companies have been formed into groups, and negotiations eventually progressed upon a basis of percentages for various lines. The result has been that where low pay was in evidence the owners were willing to concede generous terms, and although the original seamen's demand in this particular respect was for an increase of 40 per cent. it will be seen that they eventually accepted 30 per cent. In contradistinction it must be pointed out that in the case of the higher-paid services, such as European and Pacific lines, the original demands called for between 30-40 per cent. increase, and the settlement resulted in the men accepting 20 per cent, and 15 per cent. The attached schedule of percentages speaks for itself, and, I consider, represents a correct and impartial résumé of the agreement arrived at.\n\nDr. Jamieson's attitude at the time he entered the negotiations until the final settlement of dispute was that he would not be party to anything unless it was fair to both sides, and while the commercial problem was becoming more difficult—I give it as my opinion—shipowners, in making such concessions as they have done, were not unduly influenced by anything other than the grave commercial hold-up and of the hardship entailed on those entirely disinterested in points of disagreement between the union and shipowners.\n\n[8262 cc-1]\n\n285", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 493588, "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": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "page_number": 496, "title": "CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922", "content_text": "ERA\n\n494\n\n#TADLITUA\n\n.5901,8 zeďkeToE\n\nRTİS TAKE\n\nTRENTON VEG HOTKAO TO THOT\n\nJnomal,Ik of d‡ši radojo0 to TaĴĴał zupy\n\naoito anos besoqoz ens gaiwods doteda a to vqoɔ JATKOS Orig\n\nsadayawiłaß mooIwoX-noðnað bra wodnak-noðnað súr nesuteď\n\nbes\n\ntserasal d‡łw dzado alft beton evad ol .bavleber need\n\nyquo s au gulhase ak yeetsuon a'ddata notvel tiƐ stażownĘqs\n\n.31 20\n\nsalam od bellat over Jeum ww Jadi (zorować „Joo2 #V\n\nsind no vrtupai Jatit sit mi brim ni hari aw załoq saj zaslo\n\nJaut vistinited ezom gnitsoibai to exam adt vol bre ¡Joe tďue\n\nyď beds intoŤ BİZAMOT Osmos to visumum auoloma Ov **** di Jacfw\n\n¡nokdauð im notnað náð að moitalet di¿w naov®‡3 .IM\n\neind pateauɔeib tvog staiɔezqqa bluow ow (YS LAUS KOqqo na svad\n\ngni#101,4dat8 nodwell 118 To ‚sibba ##Iradd rië debw mubaatoMDAL\n\n.noszadź abam ad yam za siromoo nowe evad su\n\nTUORÐ MAOISEMA YHT ACT\n\nThe 40-\n\nCOPY OF MEMORANDUM RECEIVED BY J.P.MORGAN & CO. FROM J.W.STEVENS\nPEKING, TRACKS TO AND IMPROVEMENT OF CANTON HARBOUR.\n\ngalled \"Canton-Jankow Railroad\". Project.\n\nIf negotiations for the completion of the so-called \"CANTON-Hankow Railroad\" ever get under real way, the above mentioned subject will become important and must be dealt with frankly by the Consortium Groups and their respective Governments.\n\nIt\n\n(1) As a matter seriously involving the security of the prospective Bondholders, (2) as a matter of justice to China, especially South China, and (3) as a matter in which American and other foreign commerce is very much concerned, I intend in such negotiations to urge as a part of the \"CANTON-Hankow Railroad\" plan, the construction (or at least the right by China to construct at any time) of any and all tracks desired extending from the existing railroads at Canton to points on the Canton River. may well be wondered, what possible basis for objection will any one offer to this: and I hope to be surprised by learning that there will be none; but a rather old and seldom heard of treaty between Great Britain and China, below mentioned, seems to Chinese of prominence to have had this very subject in mind and to have contemplated the prevention of such tracks; and such prevention would greatly delay, if not actually prevent the long proposed improvement of Canton Harbor, as the same must necessarily be\n\ncomplemented by such tracks.\n\nI have here no copy of the old treaty referred to and do not recall its phraseology. It was made about the time of the building of the Kowloon railroad; and China put restrictions upon herself to the general effect that she would never build tracks that would divert traffic from the Kowloon railroad; and tracks to points on the Canton river to reach vessels would so divert traffic.\n\n \n\n„J98772 68оTE BIO 3o\n\n.2.0.3 nobαod\n\nI will state more fully the reasons for my intention above expressed!\n\n(1)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-477 - Public Offices - 1922.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 493796, "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": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "page_number": 187, "title": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "content_text": "MINUTES.\n\nMINUTES NOT TO BE WRITTEN\n\nON THIS SIDE.\n\n \n\nPARAPHRASE.\n\nTo:\n\nFrom: War Office.\n\nG.O.C.

For example, \"The Isz hrang\" should be \"The Isz Chang\" or more likely \"The I.S. Chang\", \"eto\" should be \"to\", \"shaved\" is likely incorrect and could be \"saved\", \"authorjed\" should be \"authorised\", \"acces\" should be \"access\", \"bowe\" could be \"done\" or another word depending on context, \"Laat\" should be \"Last\", \"Perm2\" is unclear but could be \"Perm.\", \"Parl'\" could be \"Parl.\", \"te\" is unclear, \"ra\" could be \"rate\", \"px\" is unclear, \"fr.\" should be \"from\", \"Lov\" could be a file reference or name, and \"Put by.\" is likely \"Put by\" without a period.\n\n## Step 2: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks\nThe text appears to be a collection of disjointed sentences and phrases. Rejoining broken sentences and restoring paragraph breaks will improve readability.\n\n## Step 3: Format in Markdown and apply other rules\nThe text should be formatted in Markdown. Headers, bold text, and tables should be formatted accordingly. File references should not have spaces inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 4: Reorder text if necessary and indicate missing words\nIf the text is from a newspaper, it may need to be reordered. Missing words due to OCR damage should be indicated with `...`.\n\n## Step 5: Output in HTML using for paragraphs\nThe final output should be in HTML, using \n\n for paragraphs.\n\nGiven the complexity and the specific instructions, let's directly correct and format the given text.\n\nThe I.S.

The reserved areas in question are the Detention Barracks (the Western part of which is badly required for the much-needed widening of Garden Road) and the Headquarter House and grounds, and the married quarters, etc., to the south of such grounds. These reserved areas were valued by Sir John Oakley at a little over $3,000,000.\n\nAs regards the Detention Barracks, we understand that whilst they are temporarily being retained as a possible site for Headquarter Offices, the Military Authorities have expressed their willingness that such Offices should be built on some other part, near Headquarter House, of the Military Lands which are not included in Sir John Oakley's award.\n\n(2) Next there is a point which we should like to have cleared up, in connection with recital (i) in Sir John Oakley's award which states that \"if during the period of ten years from the date of the award, and before completion of the transfer, unforeseen circumstances shall in the opinion of the Army Council render it desirable or expedient to withdraw any one or more complete block or lot or blocks or lots, then and in such event only the Army Council shall be free and at liberty to withdraw such one or more complete block or lot or blocks or lots.\" We should like some assurance that the above recital is only intended to cover unforeseen circumstances rendering it necessary, as a matter of military urgency for the defence of this Colony, that that clause should be brought into force.\n\nIn conclusion, whilst we are driven by sheer force of circumstances (i.e., by this Colony's urgent need, owing to the great increase of population and the consequent necessity for more room for residential and commercial expansion), to assent to the acceptance of Sir John Oakley's award, we do so under protest because we feel that the first two points, suggested by us, ought to be referred to arbitration.\n\nWe would add that there appears to be no reason why such a reference should, in any way, either delay the carrying out of any of the agreed transfers of military lands or the selection of some site other than the Detention Barracks for the erection of Headquarter Offices.\n\n**HON. MR. P. H. HOLYOAK**-Sir, I rise to endorse the views expressed by my colleague, the hon. Senior Official Member. They represent, as he stated, the carefully considered views of the Unofficial Members who have repeatedly met to consider Sir John Oakley's Award. In endorsing them I am glad to say that it is our unanimous opinion, as it is also, we believe, the unanimous opinion of the Colony, that the valuation figures of the Award are unwarrantably high, very much higher than the Colony should be called upon to pay. At the same time, and with due regard to what my hon. colleague has just stated, we do not wish this Award to be unduly delayed. I should add that, as the representative of the General Chamber of Commerce, this matter has been considered by them on two occasions, and they are also of the view that the opportunity should be taken to settle this matter once and for all, as soon as possible.\n\n**HON. MR. KOTEWALL**-The Hon. Mr. Chow Shou Son, before he left for England, and myself consulted the General Committee of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce on this subject. The Chamber is one of the most representative Chinese bodies in the Colony, and the Committee agreed with us that in view of the imperative and urgent needs of the Colony, the Award should be accepted but they urged that strong representations should be made with regard to the several points dealt with by the Hon. Senior Unofficial Member, with a view to obtaining some alleviation, not so much as a legal right, but on grounds of that ordinary fairness and equity which the Chinese community expect from the Home Government. The remarks of the Hon. Mr. Pollock have therefore the endorsement of the two Chambers of Commerce as well as the Unofficial Members of this Council.\n\n**HON. MR. A. R. LOWE**-Sir, I rise to support the Resolution. In the city of Manchester—in which I was born—there is a saying that \"if tha wants owt for nowt, do it for th' sel.\" We cannot get these lands back for nothing, for the War Office is legally in possession, but, in spite of the heavy price we are asked to pay, I think the Colony, in time to come, will get its money back with good interest. It is no great hardship now for us to part with money which the Official majority has insisted on hoarding up—perhaps luckily for our children, but unluckily for us. Anyway, we have the money ready in London, and I am glad to think it can be spent in Hongkong to advantage—for, as the Yorkshire people say, \"Money is just like muck, no good till 'tis spread.\"\n\nIn my opinion, we need the Army and Navy here for the safety and convenience of Britishers and Chinese alike, and they must be made comfortable—even if the reprovisioning is on a better and larger scale than their old quarters call for. I am in agreement with the remarks of the Senior Unofficial Member in his endeavour to obtain a reduction in the price, but as we agreed to allow Sir John Oakley to value the lands, I agree, for celerity's sake, to the terms, and if there is any truth in \"what's lost by honesty is won back by stratagem,\" I hope the Honourable Member will live to win.\n\n**H.E. THE GOVERNOR**-I should like to express my concurrence in practically everything said by the Hon. Mr. Pollock, but I am afraid we must look at the question from a rather different angle. I do not pretend to believe otherwise than that the War Office are driving a hard bargain with us, and, of course, I will transmit to the Secretary of State, for his consideration, the views which have been put forward by hon. members in regard to the possibility of a reduction on legal and equitable grounds of the figures at which Sir John Oakley has arrived. At the same time, I am bound to say that I do not think much is to be gained by that course. The fact of the matter is that the War Office are and have been, for many years, in possession—acquired possibly in somewhat devious ways in some respects—of land which we must have. We cannot evict them by force, and the question arises: How much is it worth our while to pay in order to relieve ourselves of the incubus which is blocking the prosperity of the Colony?\n\nThe price which Sir John Oakley puts on the removal of the incubus is, in my opinion, an exceptionally high one, but on the other hand, you must remember that Sir John Oakley was an entirely independent person, who stands admittedly at the head of his profession, and I think it would be unwise of me to state with too much vehemence that his figures are wrong. On the whole, he is more likely to be right than I am. Assuming that his figures are too high, assuming, not to put too fine a point on it, that we are being blackmailed, we must consider whether it is worth our while to pay blackmail in order to get the military out of the central sites of the Colony. I submit that it is.\n\nI think there has been some slight misunderstanding with regard to the actual money involved, because hon. members have spoken as though we were going to hand over at once these large sums to the Military. That is not the case. What we have undertaken to do is to reprovision the Military; that is to say, to find them suitable accommodation in exchange for the quarters we are taking away from them, and I think hon. members will agree that standards of comfort having gone up considerably since these quarters were built, it is perfectly reasonable to expect that we shall provide accommodation in some respects at least superior to the old. I do not think hon. members will grudge any expenditure in that respect.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Pollock said that it was inconceivable that the reprovisioning should exceed $10,000,000. I have not sufficient data before me to discuss the question, but assuming that the cost of reprovisioning does not exceed 10 million dollars and that the cost of the military lands according to Sir John Oakley's estimate amounts to nearly double that sum,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 497478, "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": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "page_number": 164, "title": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nWe are not going to pay over the difference in cash. It remains in an account which the War Office may draw upon to meet their future needs. But in order that future needs may be met, it is necessary that these needs should come into existence, and it seems to me improbable, if the Garrison is now adequately reprovisioned, that it will be necessary in the near future to provide the additional sum, and I think the greater part of the difference will remain merely as a book entry to our debit for many years to come. The question of that debit may be regarded with equanimity. If it should become necessary to increase the Garrison in the future, the sum standing to our debit would be drawn on to provide additional buildings, and we might then have to pay out the whole sum. But, assuming that no such bargain as this had been made and that there was no account at all, I think that it is obvious that when the necessity for increasing the Garrison arose, we should have to pay for it. We cannot ask the British taxpayer in present circumstances to bear the cost of accommodation for a largely increased Garrison, and the War Office would undoubtedly say to us: \"This is the Garrison which is necessary for your safety; we cannot pay for its accommodation. Are you prepared to do it, or will you retain a Garrison which is insufficient for the Colony's safety.\" I have no doubt the answer of the Council would be that we would pay.\n\nI think, therefore, that in assuming this liability, we are not assuming a liability greater than in any case we should have to undertake. A further point is that it is not as if we were paying out a large sum to the War Office. Very large sums are going to be expended, but they are going to be expended in this Colony. As the Hon. Mr. Lowe said, it is all to the good of the Colony.\n\nA scheme... Probably the existing balances will enable us to provide what money is necessary before money begins to come in from the sale of the land, and, if not, my suggestion is that we should get money on short-term bills maturing somewhere about the time we expect to sell the rest of the land.\n\nThe Hon. Senior Unofficial Member raised other questions, which the General will be able to deal with better than I can. In conclusion, after spending considerable time dealing with this matter, after writing many despatches—which I should like to produce to this Council. I am unable to do so, but I can assure you that I have placed the Colony's point of view very forcibly before His Majesty's Government—having, I say, fully considered these things, I am strongly of opinion that the bargain is one which the Colony should accept, and I think that in the future, it will be very pleased to reflect that it has taken this opportunity of removing an obstacle to progress.\n\n## H.E. MAJOR-GENERAL SIR J. FOWLER\n\nThere are one or two points which have been raised on which I should like to say a few words. First of all, it has been said that the Colony has made a bad bargain, and that these are boom prices. It entirely depends on the point of view. By the time that the Colony is going to dispose of this land, prices will possibly have risen, and they will therefore be getting the land at a lesser valuation than it will then be worth. His Excellency the Governor has dealt with the reprovisioning and the financial question the Hon. Member referred to. A statement has been made, which I have already spoken on, that there was an understood agreement between the War Office and the Colony as to the valuation of the lands which was made in the year 1920. There were certain recommendations made to the War Office in regard to that, but it never amounted to a practical agreement. As to another question that has been raised, it has never been contemplated, so far as I know, that the term \"military authorities\" in the Circular Despatches meant anything other than the military authorities here on the spot. I think, from the context, that it is fairly clear that it is the War Office that is meant. We recommended certain prices for the land for the War Office to adopt.\n\nI think, therefore, that there are redeeming features in the situation. I think we are paying a very large price, but I think it is wise to pay it. The expenditure will not all be incurred at once. It is true we shall be out of our money, or part of the money, for a considerable time, but by the time the full amount of expenditure has been met, we shall, no doubt, have been able to dispose of a considerable amount of the military lands and shall, therefore, have got back a good deal of money before we have to spend the whole of it. I do not think there should be any great difficulty in financing this large scheme.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 497479, "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": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "page_number": 165, "title": "CO129-484 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1924 [1-7]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\n160\n\n## PRESENT:-\n\n7TH FEBRUARY, 1924\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT**, (SIR CLAUD SEVERN, K.B.E., C.M.G.)\n\n**HIS EXCELLENCY THE GENERAL OFFICER COMMANDING OF THE TROOPS**, MAJOR-GENERAL SIR JOHN FOWLER, K.C.M.G., C.B., D.S.O.\n\n*HON.

This aspect of the matter is still under consideration of the Corps Diplomatique, but when Doyen's Circular covering the Canton Senior Consul's communication above referred to reached me I minuted it to the effect that the seizure of a foreign merchant ship by the Chinese local authorities in violation of the shipping rights enjoyed by the country whose flag the vessel flies appeared to me to be a matter to be dealt with by the Diplomatic and/or Consular Representatives of that country, and that in these circumstances I could not see my way to issue instructions to His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton to meet the hypothetical cases raised by the Consular Body, such cases as they arise having to be treated on their merits by the authorities of the State concerned.\n\nThe seizure of the arms by `Destor hun Yat-sma` naturally caused widespread discontent amongst the local merchants and resulted in the declaration of a general strike of merchants not only in Canton (Chinese City) but in a number of the outlying towns.

On more than one occasion we have had to refer, in Finance Committee, to votes which had to be passed without sufficient explanation and this is part and parcel of the same thing.\n\n**H.E. THE GOVERNOR**: I rather think that there is some misunderstanding. The figure quoted on page 79 of the estimates is made up of a very large number of items which are explained both in the draft estimates and in the annexure explaining the differences in the estimates. The hon. member should appreciate that the total covers some 40 items.\n\n**HON. MR. HOLYOAK**: It might be appreciated by an accountant, but I am not an accountant.\n\n**H.E. THE GOVERNOR**: The word \"total,\" Other Charges, would seem to indicate that it was a total even to one who is not an accountant.\n\n## Trade Statistics\n\nThey do feel that the cost of the Department is preposterous and that the cost ought to be very much lower than it has been.\n\n**THE COLONIAL SECRETARY**: There are a tremendous number of items and it is purely physical work in recording them.\n\n**HON. MR. HOLYOAK**: With reference to the Import and Export figures, the bridges are a positive danger. They should have been one of the first improvements undertaken. ... function they do not function fully as far as Hongkong returns are concerned. If it was desired to find out in two years' time what effect the strike had had on Hongkong trade it would be impossible to get the necessary information without these figures.\n\nThe argument that the Import and Export figures are not reliable is no argument against the need for keeping them but is rather an argument against the method of compiling them. Without such figures it is impossible to make a comparison between one year and another and what is more important there is no means of comparing the imports into this Colony of competitor countries. They are part of world trade statistics and Hongkong should not be lacking in that respect.\n\n## Praya East Drainage and Taipo Road Bridges\n\n**HON. MR. HOLYOAK**: On the question of Praya East drainage I could not help noting the remark of the Director of Public Works that he hoped the contractor responsible would improve the position. Surely it is for the Director of Public Works to insist upon the improvement. From a motorist's point of view—and I speak as one who drives—the bridges are a positive danger. They should have been one of the first improvements undertaken. A large sum of money has been spent in this Colony during the past twelve months on roads which should have been spent on the main road in the New Territories leading to Taipo. We submit that the improvement of the road ought now to be amongst the first of new works undertaken. The first three bridges are extremely dangerous and very narrow.\n\n**THE COLONIAL SECRETARY**: The bridges between the Reservoir and Shatin?\n\n**HON. MR. HOLYOAK**: Yes. They are very dangerous however carefully you drive.\n\n## Refuse Destructors\n\nWith regard to refuse destructors, notwithstanding the fact that the Colonial Secretary has re-read to us the statement made in previous discussions I would beg you to note it is the unanimous recommendation of the Unofficial Members that refuse destructors should be experimented with.\n\n## Trade Statistics (Continued)\n\nI am glad to hear that some arrangement may be made for the continuance of the figures in connection with the Imports and Exports Department. I was asked to raise this question by interested merchants who are, perhaps, more interested than they appear to be. The real fact is that in almost every other port in the world you have Customs. In Hongkong you have none. Whilst it is true that the Chinese Maritime Customs function they do not function fully as far as Hongkong returns are concerned.\n\nThe Bill was then read a second time.\n\n## Legislative Council Proceedings\n\nCouncil went into Committee to consider details of the Bill. No changes were made in Committee, and upon Council resuming, \n\n**THE COLONIAL SECRETARY** moved the third reading of the Bill.\n\n**THE COLONIAL TREASURER** seconded, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.\n\n## Governor's Farewell to Council\n\n**H.E. THE GOVERNOR**: Hon. members of the Legislative Council.—It only remains for me to perform a duty which I approach with a keen consciousness of my inability to do justice to the occasion, that is to take leave of this Council over which I have had the honour to preside for the last six years. You will, I trust, forgive me if I do not take the opportunity of laying before you a full account of my stewardship. I am, as you know, no friend to long speeches and I do not think that the present juncture, when we have been compelled to abandon for the time being many of the works which I had hoped to see begun during my term of office, is a suitable time for such a review.\n\nMay I express the hope that the Government of the day will then invite me—if I am still alive I shall be one of the oldest surviving Governors of Hongkong—to take part in the celebrations and to see for myself how far the reality corresponds with my expectations.\n\n### Relations with Council\n\nBut I do not want to take up your time now by discussing the Colony and its future. I should wish on this occasion to deal only with my relations to this honourable Council.\n\nWe have worked together, gentlemen, for more than six years, and while I cannot claim that we have always been in entire agreement I think I may justly claim that we have throughout worked in the completest harmony and that, where we have differed, you have realised as clearly as I have realised, that on both sides the only motive that has actuated us has been a desire to do what each has believed to be the best for the interests of the Colony. I have valued my association with you more than I can say and it will always be one of my proudest memories that you have unanimously and repeatedly shown your confidence in me by asking that my term of office should be extended. If your request had been granted I should have been happy to remain, but, as this has not been found possible, I can only express to you my heartfelt thanks for paying me so striking a compliment.\n\n### Progress and Legacy\n\nI am sorry that no great work has been affected in the Colony which will serve to remind our successors of my Governorship. I had hoped to see the Praya East Reclamation practically finished, and I had almost hoped to see the Military Lands question settled, but unexpected delays in the former case and unforeseen events in the latter have resulted in disappointment. I can only claim that the six years contain a record of steady progress. The arrears due to the period of stagnation during the war have been made up; the development of the Colony has until the last few months been regular and continuous, and my successor will be able, as soon as the present period of depression is over, to proceed confidently with many works which I had hoped to see inaugurated in my time.\n\nI leave the Colony to my great regret at a time of trouble and difficulty, but I am confident that this shadow will soon pass and that Hongkong will resume the path of progress which will lead it to a prosperity far surpassing anything that it has yet seen.\n\n### A Revisit\n\nMr. Holyoak has kindly expressed the hope that my wife and I may some day revisit Hongkong. I am afraid that for the next few years I shall be at a distance which will render a casual visit impossible, but in some sixteen years' time Hongkong will be celebrating the centenary of its foundation.\n\n### Public Service\n\nI have also to thank you gentlemen, one and all, for the invaluable help which you have given me during these years by your advice and criticisms. It has been a cause of admiration and wonder to me that in a Colony, such as this, where there is no leisured class, it has always been possible to find able and hardworking men who will sacrifice their time to the gratuitous service of the State. Membership of this Council has been no sinecure, and the Colony has cause to be grateful to all of you and to those other former members of the Council, who have been taken from us—such men as my dear friend Alexander Stephen, Montague Ede, Arthur Lowe, Lau Chu-pak, Ng Hon-tsz and Chow Siu-ki.\n\n### Executive Council\n\nI owe a special debt of gratitude to those of you who have served on my Executive Council, for I fear that I have on many... \n\nPage 107\nPage 106", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-489 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 500967, "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": "CO129-489N - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-489N - Governor Sir Stubbs & Sir Clementi - 1925 [8-12]", "content_text": "2\n\nI work in comfort during the day and rest in comfort during the night.\n\nSKETOCIDE\n\nand quickly rid the Office and Home\n\nof\n\nMOSQUITOES, FLIES, SANDFLIES,\n\nLICE, ETC.\n\nSKETOCIDE, with nil hazards, is administered.\n\nSKETOCIDE is pleasant as water.\n\nSKETOCIDE is compressed.\n\nTHE PHARMACY\n\n1, Queen's Arcade\n\nD.

S. B. Rowe, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Council to Sir HERBERT J. CREEDY, Permanent Under-Secretary of State for War, War Office, London.\n\nDEAR SIR,\n\nAt the instance of the Council of the International Settlement in Shanghai I have the honour to request you to deliver to us on terms of long credit the following articles:\n\n200 Rifles, Webbs, S.M.L.E., III*. 120 Cases of Webbs Ammunition 08.\n\nThis request is made in emergency, as the Shanghai Volunteer Guard is to be increased and requires larger quantities of arms and ammunition than hitherto.\n\nI beg leave to express the confident hope that His Majesty's War Office will find it possible to comply with the request of the Council, and also to thank you for your good offices in the matter.\n\nI am, &c.,\n\n(Signed) E. S. B. Rowe,\n\nIt is inconceivable that these steps and preparations, which have been going on for a long time, were unknown to MacDonald.\n\nWe Chinese cannot understand why the British workers still keep MacDonald as their leader. To us he seems to be leading you backwards and backwards, but that is your Pidgin—not ours.\n\nThe supply of arms to the Shanghai Merchant Volunteers, a Fascist body, was admitted by the Secretary of State for War in the House of Commons on July 14, when he said that it was true that during the past six months applications had been received for the supply of arms to the Shanghai Volunteer Force, and that these applications had been complied with.\n\nSo the front line policy of the British, who are the predominant imperialists and who set the pace, is to smash the workers separately in each town; to \"shoot to kill\" an unarmed crowd after ten seconds' warning, as Inspector Everson ordered before the Laoza police-station in Shanghai on May 30.\n\nBut whilst this policy may succeed in the British Crown Colony, Hongkong (where every unemployed adult is to be deported and where the British Governor Sir Reginald Stubbs has arranged for the flogging of the strikers), it will not succeed in China proper.\n\nThe butchery at Shanghai has already been condemned, even by officials.\n\nWhen the news of the shootings which took place at Shanghai on May 30 and subsequent days reached Peking, the heads of the Diplomatic Missions of the powers interested appointed a Mixed Commission to proceed to Shanghai, there to carry out an inquiry in conjunction with a Chinese Commission, appointed by the Peking Government, and to report to the Diplomatic Body.\n\nPage 5\n\n503", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-491 - Public Offices - 1925.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 502876, "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": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "page_number": 568, "title": "CO129-492 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1925 [12] - 1926 [1-5]", "content_text": "Apart from C - on which \n\nSir R.

The Postmaster General recommends that he should be placed on a salary of £560 with effect from the 1st January 1927 and allowed to proceed to the new maximum.

I concur in this recommendation and am addressing you more fully in a separate despatch on this matter.\n\nMr. Howe and Mr. Holdman, the last two officers placed in Class II, are at present entitled to free quarters. Mr. Howe, who was appointed locally as a Second Class Overseer in 1914, and was promoted to First Class Overseer in 1920, is on the maximum salary of £360 of his present scale. Mr. Holdman, who was appointed locally in 1922, and was promoted to Assistant Superintendent of Mails, Parcel Branch, in 1924, is on the salary of £370 on the scale £350: £10: £400.

From New Orleans he will pass through the West Indies to British Guiana, and strike inland across Brazil to Rio de Janeiro and on to Buenos Aires, and across the Andes to Valparaiso.\n\nHis route afterward will be as follows: Easter Island, Mangareva, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji Islands to New Caledonia, New Zealand and Australia. Afterwards he will touch at various points in the Dutch East Indies, Manila and North China, flying inland to Hankow and still inland to Saigon in French Indo-China. The remainder of his route covers Rangoon, Calcutta, Ceylon, Chagos Islands, Seychelles, Mauritius to Beira, then round the coast of South Africa as far as Boma to the Belgian Congo; he will then strike inland to Tanganyika, and flying through Uganda and up the Nile to Cairo, along the coast to Tripoli and back across the Mediterranean to Pisa.\n\nThe Marchese de Pinedo expects to arrive in Hongkong early in November on the return part of his flight.\n\nAt the request of the Marchese, the \"Shell\" organisation are making all the necessary fuel arrangements for the entire flight. \"Shell\" aviation spirit is again chosen on account of the excellent result obtained during his last flight when 34,000 miles were covered without the slightest mishap.\n\nMOTOR MISHAP.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nMr. R.

It is a new set of State insurance laws, operating on July 1, and is killing every ... but the working ... is 31. For instance, a gardener, for whom one paid 18s. per annum insurance against accident in the past, has now to be paid £5; a man employed in a brewery, formerly 13s. 6d. per annum, now 78s. 9d.; bakers, similar trades, and so on, and milk carters from 40s. to 140s.; a miner from £10 to £50; and there are hundreds and hundreds, close to a thousand, all taxable. If I can get a paper (I have to keep the one I have) will send it to you. It is really unbelievable.\n\n\"The Insurance Companies will reap a harvest and I don't own one share in them. Just imagine, say, in Farmer & Co., something like 1,000 hands employed, having to pay 48s. 9d. instead of 10s. per head, and I see in the list that domestic servants have to be insured at 52s. 6d. a head, instead of 5s. Every trade, musicians included, are in the list. A boy who delivers newspapers costs his employer 70s. instead of 12s. a year. I could go on for the next hour and never finish.\n\n\"Wharf labourers, who are paid by the Steamship Companies (I have a lot of shares in those) are increased from £8 to £40 annually. So the poor shareholders in all those Companies will suffer. Clerical workers are let down the lightest, so the shares in offices and banks will not be affected.\n\n\"My broker told me about the disastrous time that's ahead!\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 503167, "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": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "page_number": 242, "title": "CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8]", "content_text": "FORGED NOTES.\n\nJuly 16. Before Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy yesterday, a Chinese timber merchant was charged with being in possession of three forged ten-dollar bank notes.\n\nEvidence was given of defendant's arrests with the notes in his possession when about to board the 3.8, \"Kinshan\" for Macao.\n\nMr. M. K. Lo, who appeared for the defence, said that the notes were given to the defendant by a friend in Canton. On his arrival in Hongkong defendant found that the notes were forged and decided to take them back to Canton. Mr. Lo submitted that there had been no intention of uttering the notes in Hongkong.\n\nHis Worship held there was a grave doubt in the case and discharged the defendant.\n\nCALIFORNIA COLLEGIANS.\n\nJuly 15 Brick Morse's California Collegiana, formerly the University of California Glee Club, boasts an exceedingly talented soloist in Mr. Clyde Diddle, a senior at the University and President of the organisation. He has been with the club for four years, and has made a trip to the Orient, to Alaska, through Canada, and to Europe, on each of which trips his work as bass soloist has been highly contributive to the success of the club.\n\n\"Ve Mas-\n\nDiddle, when interviewed said, \"In my opinion the programmes which we are presenting now are of the highest calibre possible. We have always presented numbers which have been good, but as we have gained experience, and guided by our friend and leader, C. R. Marae, we have reached a state now of which we can boast,\" ranging all of the way from Dvorak's \"Largo,\" from the New World Symphony, to soft shoe dancing by \"Sta\" and \"Monk\".\n\nDiddle's mellow voice can hardly be described. It is one thing that we cannot tell you all about. But one which you will still be talking about when you leave the theatre. His singing has been in popular demand around San Francisco this last year. You'll be thrilled if you hear him at the Theatre Royal on July 19 and 21.\n\nAt the Kowloon Magistracy on July 16, a Chinese was sentenced to two weeks' imprisonment for loitering about in the vicinity of the Observatory early on Wednesday morning and creating a disturbance.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\n1\n\nTHIEF CAUGHT.\n\nJuly 16,\n\n\"That was a smart piece of work,\" remarked Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy this morning when he was told that Mr. B. A. Hyder had caught a Chinese who was charged with the larceny of $20 from an old man at Des Voeux Road near the Wing On Company, yesterday forenoon.\n\nIt was stated by Inspector Spear that the defendant extracted the money from complainant's pocket and was seized by the owner. Defendant broke away by discarding the money and escaped in the direction of the Wing Lok Street wharf where he was caught.\n\nMr. Hyder's attention was drawn to the runaway by a whistle blown by the conductor of a passing tram car. He said that he ran down a side lane leading into Connaught Road anticipating that the man would come that way and got him just in time.\n\nDefendant was sent to prison with hard labour for three months.\n\nSTOLEN UMBRELLA?\n\nJuly 16.\n\nUnlawful possession of umbrella was the charge against a ricksha coolie before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy this morning.\n\nThe article was believed to have been stolen, although the owner was not found. Divisional Inspector Blackman said that defendant was seen in Tal Wong Street carrying the umbrella and was arrested on suspicion by a constable.\n\nDefendant said he paid 40 cents for the umbrella and intended making a present of it to his wife.\n\nHis Worship: I see you are a perfect husband. Three weeks hard labour.\n\nThis summer throughout Hongkong there will be ten Vacation Bible Schools conducted by local Chinese Christians, beginning July 19. More than 1,500 children are expected to attend. These Vacation Schools continue for one month. They are under the direction of Mr. Chang King-suen, of the Chinese YMCA.\n\nThe recent murder of an office boy at Connaught Road Central was again mentioned at the Central Magistracy this morning when the alleged assailant, another office boy who was caught and brought back from Macao, was brought before Mr. R. E. Lindsell. The case was fixed for hearing on Thursday next.\n\nMORE RED TAPE.\n\nFor the first time in three years as far as the \"China Mail\" is concerned the weather forecast for the first part of the week-end cannot be given owing to Government blunder, or red tape, or both.\n\nHitherto the \"China Mail\" has given the forecast on Saturdays, the same being obtained by telephone to cope with printing hours.\n\nBecause the No. 1 typhoon signal was hoisted, the Kowloon clerk-in-charge said that we must refer to the manager. The manager ultimately told us that the Government had supplied them with a list of people who may ring up the Observatory when the typhoon signal is up. The \"China Mail\" is not on that list.\n\nReaders who are in two minds as to picnics, recreation, excursions, sailings, cargo-working, business &c. will have to remain in the dark.\n\nThe reason for this withholding of vital information from the public must be made known.\n\nNo. 2998.—July 22, 1926.\n\nMOTOR ACCIDENTS.\n\nJuly 17.\n\nDivisional Inspector Peter Grant, of No. 7 Police Station, West Point, met with an accident while driving a motor cycle combination in Bonham Road shortly after noon yesterday.\n\nIn taking the turn near the Ying Wah College, the side car raised. The machine skidded and collided with a Hongkong Hotel motor bus which was just then coming round the corner.\n\nThe Inspector escaped with slight injury to his left knee, but he was able to get about this morning. Damage to the motor cycle was small, but the body of the motor bus had the paint work scraped off and the head lights were also damaged.\n\nStubbs Road Collision. Another accident occurred at Stubbs Road yesterday forenoon while Miss Stewart, of the Repulse Bay Hotel, was driving a motor car, but the occupants escaped injury.\n\nMiss Stewart's car collided with another car coming in the opposite direction and was slightly damaged.\n\nVOLUNTEER ORDERS.\n\nThe following is taken on the strength on July 12, 1926, and posted to the Reserve Company.\n\nNo. 1064 Pte.

Dr. and Mrs. Gill left for Singapore where they will establish their home. Mrs. Gill taught in the American School for one year and was a member of the church. Dr. Gill established a practice in Hongkong as a dentist.\n\nSCOUTS' WORK.\n\nNo. 6 Hongkong (Ellis Kadoorie School) Troop of Boy Scouts gathered at the School hall at Sookumpoo on Friday to welcome Sir Henry Gollan, the Chief Justice, who has shown a keen interest in the movement by presenting a challenge cup for inter-patrol competition annually.\n\nIn the awarding of the cup to the winning patrol, special attention will be paid to efficiency, attendance and conduct.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nCHINA PROVIDENT.\n\n241\n\nIn accordance with the Articles of Association the Very Rev. F. L. Robert, Messrs. H. P. White, T. G. Weall, Lee Koon-san and W. J. Hawker retire, and are eligible for re-election.\n\nA net deficit of just over two million dollars is the result of last year's working of the China Provident, Loan and Mortgage Co., Ltd., as shown by the books of the Company.\n\nSome months ago, an extraordinary meeting was convened at which a committee of six shareholders was appointed to investigate, with technical assistance, the financial position of the company, following some sensational disclosures.\n\nThe annual general meeting has been fixed for July 22, date, the report for the year ended December 31, 1925, will be presented, together with the statement of accounts.\n\nActual Profit.\n\nThe actual result of the year's working shows a profit of $46,125.57, plus $200,000 transferred back from Reserve, giving a credit balance of $246,125.57.\n\nThe party, which consisted of the following:- Hon. Mr. A. E. Wood (Director of Education), Mr. F. I. de Rome (Headmaster), the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave (Scout Commissioner), Scoutmaster T. K. S. Leung, Assistant Scoutmaster Yu, and masters of the School, adjourned with Sir Henry to the hall where the Scouts gave a display in signalling and ambulance work.\n\nMr. de Rome thanked Sir Henry Gollan for his attendance and interest in the Troop and spoke to the Scouts on the value of maintaining the efficiency of the Troop.\n\nSir Henry Gollan then addressed the gathering and presented the challenge cup. This was followed by a short speech by the Scoutmaster. The Scout Commissioner in a speech traced the history of the Troop, which was a good one, and commented on the Scout movement which was not only local but world-wide.\n\nThe various speeches were interpreted by Mr. K. S. Lam, who has just retired from the Scoutmastership of the Troop after several years' good service.\n\nCheers were then called for and the gathering dispersed after the singing of the British and Chinese national anthems.\n\nIt is notified in the Government Gazette with reference to the Vicar Apostolic Incorporation Ordinance, 1885, Ordinance No. 4 of 1885, and to Government Notification No. 118 of 1924, that the Right Reverend Henry Paschal Valtorta, Bishop of Lera, is now Vicar Apostolic of The Roman Catholic Church in this Colony.\n\nAuditors.\n\nThe accounts have been audited by Messrs. Linstead and Davis and Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming who are eligible for re-election.\n\nNotice has been lodged with the Company, by certain shareholders, that it is their intention to propose the election of Messrs. Lowe, Pingham and Matthews as auditors for the current year.\n\nAUDITORS' REPORT.\n\nThe report states:-\n\nWe beg to report to the shareholders that we have audited the foregoing balance sheet with the books, documents and vouchers of the Company.\n\nA snapshot taken at the recent motor-cycle and pony gymkhana, promoted by the Mounted Section and Armoured Car Companies of the Volunteer Defence Corps. Above are seen the Mounted Infantry taking up their positions for the tent-pegging.\n\nALLEGED ASSAULT.\n\nJuly 17. Complaints of the behaviour of certain people in the Happy Valley district which had led to disagreeable circumstances were referred to at the Central Magistracy yesterday when A. H. Hartman, of 11 Tai Wong Street, Wanchai, and H. M. Ismail, of 13 Sharp Street, were charged with assaulting two Chinese ladies.\n\nThe incidents deposed to took place on July 7 as the two Chinese ladies were walking back from the path leading to the Monument having accompanied their mother part of the way home after her visit to them at their home in Leighton Hill.\n\nThree road cyclists were alleged to have been involved in the assault which consisted of catching hold of the ladies as they passed and squeezing them.\n\nIn response to the girls' screams, it was stated, the brother of one of the ladies appeared on the scene and knocked one of the cyclists from his machine. A Chinese constable also made an appearance.\n\nThe shop from which the cycles were hired was communicated with and it was stated that the three men who had taken the cycles had erased their names. A clerk of the cycle shop was called to give evidence and he stated that it was the second defendant who had erased the names.\n\nAfter making the following adjustments, which are considered necessary:\n\nWrite off Property ... $895,539.02\n\nWrite off Investment Account ... 144,951.54\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Loans ... 1,123,680.48\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Debts ... 26,106.98\n\nTransfer to General Reserve ... 161,736.83\n\n$2,351,015.66 The result a debit balance of $2,107,790.09, plus $18,925.50 brought forward from last year, has leaving a nett deficit of $2,086,864.50.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor has appointed provisionally and subject to His Majesty's pleasure, the Hon. Mr. Dallas Gerald Mercer Bernard to be an Unofficial Member of the Executive Council during the absence from the Colony of the Hon. Sir Edward Pollock, K.C., with effect from July 10.\n\nConsulting Committee.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor in Council has directed that the name of Mr. Frederick Lanchester Foster-Turner be added to the List of authorised architects.\n\nWe have not seen satisfactory vouchers in respect of the sum of $112,946, under the heading of work expenses made during the strike.\n\nIt appears to us that owing to the late allotment of certain shares, the dividend for the year 1924 was incorrectly paid, involving a small loss to the Company.\n\nUnder section 90 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, His Excellency the Governor in Council has ordered that the Chinese Cemetery, Mesara, J. H. Taggart and T. de Christian Meester retired from Kowloon Tong, known as New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 18, shall be closed from and after August 1, 1926.\n\nMr. W. J. Hawker was invited to join the Committee in place of Mr. J. H. Taggart.\n\nSubject to the above remarks, in our opinion, the foregoing balance sheet is properly drawn up as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the Company's affairs.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 503569, "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": "CO129-494 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [9-10]", "page_number": 65, "title": "CO129-494 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [9-10]", "content_text": "COLONY OF HONGKONG, 1925.\n\nSTATEMENT OF REVENUE IN THE YEAR, UNDER SUB-HEADS, AS COMPARED WITH THE ESTIMATES.\n\n \n HEADS AND SUB-HEADS\n ESTIMATED\n ACTUAL\n INCREASE\n DECREASE\n EXPLANATORY REMARKS\n \n \n 8.

If, in spite of public opinion, the Chinese Government do revoke this mandate, we could again consider, in the light of the circumstances of the moment, the suggestion put forward by Mr. Teichman that we should abandon the embargo as far as the Central Government are concerned, that is to say, maintaining it in all cases except where it could be shown that a huchao for the import into China of the arms in question had or would be issued by the Central Government or with the latter's approval. We should in that case be able to fall back on the Geneva Arms Convention, if it were by that time generally accepted and ratified by all concerned. I presume that your despatch No. 799 of the 9th September, forwarding copy of the above convention for my observations, is superseded by your later despatch No. 831 now under reply, and I do not therefore propose to address you a separate despatch commenting thereon. It seems, indeed, that the enforcement of this instrument would produce a very similar situation, as far as China is concerned, to that resulting from the existing arms embargo understanding, that is to say, whatever legislation we ourselves might enact to give effect to article 30 of the convention, the nationals of other Powers enjoying extra-territorial rights in China would probably not be prevented by their own authorities from dealing in arms in China to the order of independent provincial military authorities.\n\n4. Having dealt thus far with the main question, viz., the continuance or otherwise of our arms embargo policy, I come to the subsidiary issues of what, if any, modifications in the actual enforcement of that policy on British subjects are called for. The first step in this connection, and one which should, I think, undoubtedly be taken, would be to remove aircraft definitely from the scope of the embargo agreement, as suggested by Mr. Teichman. The Chinese Government have themselves for years actually included aeroplanes in the list of articles the import of which is prohibited (except to the order of the Government) on the ground that they are classed as military supplies; this arrangement continues in force, but is represented as a temporary restriction, pending the promulgation of new regulations on the subject. As a corollary, therefore, to the exclusion of aircraft from the embargo, the Chinese Government should logically be pressed to remove aeroplanes from the list of prohibited imports. We need, however, scarcely give further consideration for the moment to this aspect of the question, which may perhaps be left to other Powers at present more interested in the Chinese aeroplane trade to raise; for there appears, indeed, to be little prospect under existing conditions in China of any real development of the trade in aircraft except for Government, i.e., military purposes.\n\nI further concur in the view that British interests should be given no encouragement to sell aeroplanes to the Chinese Government except on the safest terms, that no support should be given to any monopoly claims based on old contracts, and that enquirers should be warned that the sale of aircraft to the Chinese for military purposes is against the policy of His Majesty's Government, and that the latter may decline to render any assistance in recovering debts for the cost of any aeroplanes sold to the Chinese Government which might subsequently be used for military purposes.\n\n5. The next point claiming attention is the alleged disadvantage under which British firms are placed by our King's Regulations as compared with the merchants of other nationalities whose legislative systems do not provide as ready a means of enacting local legislation as we possess. This complaint of the British traders concerned, namely, that their hands are tied by an international arrangement which is effectively carried out in China by Great Britain alone, has frequently been mentioned in past correspondence on the subject. It is of course perfectly true that the other Powers concerned mainly confine themselves, in carrying out their embargo obligations, to the control of the export of arms from their countries to China as opposed to the import into, and trade in, China, and, further, that large quantities of Italian arms imported or contracted for prior to the date of the embargo agreement have been since from time to time disposed of to Chinese militarists. But, except in so far as concerns the point which raises a nationals of countries not parties to the embargo agreement, a different issue dealt with later on in this despatch, I am not convinced that these complaints of discriminatory treatment are really well founded; and, in any case, if the trade is considered a bad, and even an immoral, one, in existing conditions in China, it seems difficult to justify any relaxation of our restrictions on British subjects from engaging therein. If, however, the grievance is considered a real one which must be dealt with, the remedy is simple, namely, to withdraw our King's Regulations altogether and to carry out our arms embargo policy in the future by means of the control of exports alone in the manner suggested in Mr. Teichman's letter. Even in that case we should not, of course, be entirely without means of controlling the trade in China, more especially while the Chinese mandate of the 2nd September remains in force, since with that mandate in existence any import of arms by British subjects would appear to constitute theoretically an offence under article 74 (ii) of the new consolidated Order in Council. A legal conundrum of some complexity might then arise, namely, whether or not an offence against the Order had been committed if, for instance, with the mandate in force and after the withdrawal of our King's Regulations, a British subject were to import arms, say, into Manchuria, openly through the customs, on the strength of a provincial huchao, issued without reference to, and even against the mandate of, the Central Government, but recognised by the local customs officials.\n\n6. On the whole, however, I am inclined, after further mature consideration of the problems at issue since the date of my telegram No. 492 of the 17th November, to recommend, for the reasons set forth in the above paragraphs, that we should not withdraw our King's Regulations, but that we should alternatively replace them by new regulations on the lines of those submitted in my despatch No. 610 of the 1st September, with the modification of the deletion of article 18 of the schedule, namely, aeroplanes and component parts thereof. This should do something to remove existing grievances of British interests concerned directly, and indirectly through the supply of materials in the trade, both by the exclusion of aircraft from the scope of our prohibitionary legislation and by the more exact definition of the term \"munitions of war\" referred to therein.\n\n7. With regard to the problem of the supply of arms from countries not parties to the embargo agreement, I feel that you, sir, are in a better position than I am to judge whether any useful purpose would be served by inviting the Governments of such countries, and more especially Russia, to adhere to the embargo. It is needless to say that such adherence is very desirable from every point of view; but, more especially in view of the issue of the mandate of the 2nd September, any invitation or request to the Powers in question to restrain their nationals from exporting arms to parts of China not under the control of the Chinese Government should, I presume, more properly come from the Chinese Government.\n\n8. As regards the question of the Canton arms trade and with reference to the suggestion made by his Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong that, if the Central Government in Peking were to prohibit the importation of munitions except to their own nominees (as they have in theory already done by the issue of their mandate of the 2nd September), His Majesty's Government should then co-operate with them to stop Russian ships at the mouth of the Canton River, and, further, should supply munitions to those anti-Bolshevik groups which are anxious to overthrow the present Government at Canton, I am of opinion that the course proposed might prove dangerous, and I concur in the views expressed by His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires in his telegram No. 420 of the 24th September that we should leave the Chinese moderates to deal themselves with Bolshevism at Canton and elsewhere, unless and until a Central Government is established of a more representative character and capable of offering greater guarantees of stability than the present one and its predecessors, which might invite our active co-operation in preventing supplies of arms and ammunition from reaching independent \"Red\" factions, or until the authority of such a Central Government is definitely challenged by the open rebellion of areas or provinces which may have fallen completely under Bolshevik control, when our policy of non-intervention might have to be reconsidered.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nR.

THE GOVERNOR\n\nThe annual meeting of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon at the City Hall was notable for a magnificent speech by H.E. the Governor.\n\nNow as always, declared His Excellency, British policy in China aims wholly and solely at security, freedom and equal opportunity for British trade. Great Britain has no territorial ambitions whatsoever in China, and it is amazing that the \"Nationalists\" should denounce Great Britain as \"the enemy\" and clasp to their hearts the Russian Bolshevists, who appear to be pursuing the old Czarist policy of Slavonic aggrandisement in the Far East.\n\n\"We are quite determined,\" said His Excellency, \"to have no Bolshevism in this Colony. Nor shall we permit our coastwise shipping to be preyed upon with impunity by organised piracy.\" The so-called economic weapon Sir Cecil Clementi described as the \"Bolshevist Bludgeon,\" or rather the \"Bolshevist Boomerang,\" because it would most certainly curl back and deliver its shrewdest blow at those who endeavoured to wield it.\n\nThe Governor urged the Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong to see that to combat lying propaganda, the truth is widely told all over China, for the victory of truth is the best means of meeting the Bolshevist menace. After referring to present indications that the Chinese Nationalist Party is at last struggling to rid itself of the taint of Bolshevism, H.E. the Governor expressed the hope that the traditional friendly relations between Hong Kong and neighbouring Provinces in China were about to be renewed. He had complete faith in the future, and believed that, when the present \"spasm of madness\" was spent, Great Britain and Hong Kong would be recognized throughout the Eighteen Provinces as the best friends of the Chinese people.\n\nThe address was received with great enthusiasm.\n\nThe meeting was presided over by the Hon. Mr. D. G. M. Bernard (Chairman of the Chamber), and with him were H.E. the Governor (Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.), and the following members of the General Committee: The Hon. Mr. A. C.

Incidentally, the loss to British commercial and financial interests would be severe.\n\n(2.) Since China is self-supporting in vital essentials, a Pacific Blockade, if complete and effective, would probably damage foreign interests more severely and more permanently than Chinese interests; if partial, under our leadership, it would be even less damaging to the Chinese and would adversely affect our own position, politically and economically, to the advantage of other foreign Powers.\n\n(3.) Assuming a state of war, a blockade of South China would, in the first instance, seriously embarrass the Nationalist Government, but would not in itself cause a cessation of hostilities since, in course of time, internal trade would find its way through the country, and foreign trade is not essential. The stoppage of sea-borne supplies of munitions might, however, have a serious effect on the Cantonese, the extent of which depends largely on:\n| Factor | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (i.) | The stocks now in possession of the Southern Armies. |\n| (ii) | The output of the arsenals at Canton and Hanyang; and |\n| (iii.) | The amount of arms traffic which might take place through French Indo-China and possibly North China. |\n\n(See also Conclusion (6) below.)\n\n(4.) A blockade of South China might unite the North and South against the British.\n\n(5.) Assuming a state of war, a blockade of China as a whole could probably be made effective as far as the sea is concerned. But China is not dependent for vital essentials on foreign trade, and in course of time, internal trade would find its way through the country. Further, supplies of ammunition would be available from the up-to-date arsenal at Mukden, in addition to those at Canton and Hanyang, and military and other essentials might be available by land-route from Russia. Supply, however, depends on communications, and in this connection, we draw attention to the importance of the Pekin-Tientsin-Mukden Railway.\n\n(6.) The stoppage of importation of sulphur and nitrates might seriously hamper the manufacture of explosives. The effect of such stoppage would depend mainly on what plant exists for the manufacture of sulphuric and nitric acid from raw materials available in China. Information on this subject is not at present available.\n\n(7.) It is unlikely that a blockade would be effective in bringing the Chinese to terms rapidly, in which case, unless a certain amount of trade with the Chinese was permitted, the destruction of our trading interests and of the Maritime Customs which would result might become even more complete and irretrievable than would be the case if a state of war alone existed.\n\n(8.) We draw attention to the position of certain of H.M. Ships now stationed above Wuhu on the Upper Yangtse, nine of which will be, under normal circumstances, immobilised until dates varying between mid-February and the end of April.\n\n(Signed) **CECIL** (Chairman). \n(Signed) **C.

Whitehall Gardens, S.W., \n16th February, 1927.\n\n[F834/1/10]\n\n## APPENDIX No. I.\n\nDespatch from Foreign Office to Colonial Office.\n\nSir,\n\nForeign Office, March 11, 1926.\n\nI am directed by Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain to say that he has had under careful consideration the telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong of the 6th February enclosed in your letter of the 16th February, in which the Governor treats at length of the situation at Canton, and urges, in particular, that, in view of the treaty violations on the part of the Canton Government, His Majesty's Government should, in virtue of article 7 of the Nine-Power Treaty of Washington, confer with the other signatory Powers with a view to the institution of a joint counter-blockade of Canton pending the removal of the anti-British boycott.\n\nMost of the points raised by Sir C. Clementi had already been dealt with in Foreign Office letters of the 28th January and the 17th February respectively, but Sir Austen Chamberlain has in the meantime carefully considered the possibility of something in the nature of a counter-blockade, which appeared, at the time that letter was written, to deserve further examination, and I am to request that the following observations on this point may be laid before the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n2. If this policy were adopted, there would appear to be three possible courses of action:\n\n(1.) The action proposed in 1918, 1919, and 1920, when the Canton authorities threatened to seize the customs, namely, the interception at Hong Kong by the Colonial authorities of all cargo for Canton and the refusal of entry to all cargo from Canton. This would not appear to involve any interference with vessels and goods bound for Canton outside the territorial jurisdiction of Hong Kong. If this is so, it is probable that a good legal defence could be set up for the action taken, but it would be quite ineffective as a means of cutting off completely the trade of Canton.\n\n(2.) An agreement between the Powers concerned to prevent their nationals and national ships from trading or having any communication with Canton. Such action ought not to involve any international legal difficulties, because no Power would interfere with the ships or nationals of another, and it would be incumbent upon each Power to take such steps as might be necessary under its own law to acquire the requisite powers. It would presumably not be difficult for His Majesty's Government to take such powers either by legislation at Hong Kong or otherwise, and, in any case, it is unlikely that British subjects would desire to violate any international arrangement that might be made. Such an arrangement would, however, have no effect as regards the trade of such Powers as did not join in the common action, and the trade of Canton would fall into the hands of the nationals of such Powers, notably Russia, and possibly the United States, for, even if the United States Government were willing to collaborate, it is unlikely that they could arm themselves with the necessary powers.\n\n(3.) A pacific blockade or some similar means of coercion. In considering this action, it is necessary to bear in mind that the Government of Canton has not been recognised in any way as a Government by His Majesty's Government, and also that the proposed blockade of Canton is not intended as an act of war, but merely as a method of applying coercion in order to oblige the Canton authorities to desist from illegal action in attempting to interfere with the liberty of foreign vessels to exercise their treaty rights of trade at Canton.\n\nIt should not be overlooked, in the first place, that, if this action is taken, any member of the League of Nations, including China herself, would be entitled to bring the matter before the Council under paragraph 2 of article 11 of the Covenant. If the action taken at Canton were a joint action with one or more of the other Great Powers, there would be less risk of embarrassment at the Council and less danger of an attempt to isolate His Majesty's Government. On the other hand, it would be difficult for the Peking Government to protest at the Council against such action by the Powers at Canton, because it would be clear that the action was rendered necessary by the failure of that Government to put an end to illegal action in its own ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-502-6 China- general situation 7-1-1927 - 3-3-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 510725, "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": "CO129-504-14 Surveyors- vacancies- training and conditions of service 6-5-1927 - 22-2-1928", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-504-14 Surveyors- vacancies- training and conditions of service 6-5-1927 - 22-2-1928", "content_text": "## Mayoratchin\n\nThe two candidates for Survey sp5. recen by selectin in it ong Kong have харий and howe Been passed Pay the MH.

L. Rode, a Norwegian subject, for the grant of a certificate of naturalization under the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914, I am directed by Secretary Sir William Joynson-Hicks to request you to inform Secretary the Earl of Birkenhead that since by reason of the nature of their occupation alien members of the mercantile Marine are unable to comply by physical presence with the statutory requirements as to residence laid down in section 2 of the Act in order to become eligible to apply for naturalization, it is the practice in the United Kingdom to regard absence from this country by reason of service in a British ship as not inconsistent with the essential continuity of residence ashore, provided that the applicant can satisfy the Secretary of State that he is established, e.g. by substantial residence here, in this country. The enclosed memorandum indicates the policy and practice of this Department in such cases.\n\n2.\n\nSir William Joynson-Hicks observes that the Government of India in their letter of the 1st March express the opinion that a British ship is not British \"territory\" for the\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\n\nINDIA OFFICE.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-510-9 George Ludwig Rode- naturalisation 1-3-1928 - 4-6-1928.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 515429, "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": 6, "title": "CO129-510-9 George Ludwig Rode- naturalisation 1-3-1928 - 4-6-1928", "content_text": "purposes of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, \n\nbut that ships registered in the United Kingdom, if deemed to \n\nconstitute a part of his Majesty's dominions, must be deemed to \n\nconstitute a part of the United Kingdom and not of British India \n\nAs indicated in the preceding paragraph, service in British \n\nships is not regarded in the United Kingdom as the exact \n\nequivalent of residence on shore within His Majesty's dominions \n\nmuch less as residence in the United Kingdom but rather as not \n\nnecessarily inconsistent with the essential continuity of such \n\nresidence. \n\n3. Sir William Joynson-Hicks observes from paragraph 5 of \n\nthe memorial that Mr. Rode has, when not at sea in the \n\nexercise of his profession, resided for the last three years \n\nin British India and previously in other parts of His Majesty's \n\ndominions. His residence in the United Kingdom has been very \n\nslight and he would not be regarded as at present eligible for \n\nnaturalization in this country: a copy of correspondence in \n\n1923 with his solicitors is enclosed for Lord Birkenhead's \n\ninformation. \n\n4.

S.W.1.\n\nDear Sir,\n\nOn behalf of Mr. George Ludvig Rode, we are preparing the papers for an application for certificate of naturalization. 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.

Perhaps one of our unofficial members of the Council will take the matter in hand and move for a Commission to explore the matter in all its aspects, or preferably a currency expert might be engaged to report thereon.\n\nYears ago a situation detrimental to the interest of the Colony in reference to small coins was corrected by the action of the Government, and it now lies again with the Government to take such steps as may be necessary to remove the handicap which now exists to the trade of Hongkong.—Yours, etc.,\n\nOBSERVER.\nHongkong, July 16th, 1929.\n\n### Flowers, and Funerals.\n\nSir, May I express my agreement with Captain Baylis' admirable letter in your issue of today? On the occasions of these melancholy and unfortunately not uncommon processions to the cemetery, we cannot be but struck by the deplorable waste of money that has been expended in wreaths of fast withering flowers.\n\nPerhaps but comparatively few of us appreciate the splendid work that charities such as the Hongkong and kindred societies are doing. Their work is always unobtrusive, perhaps too unobtrusive, but every penny received by them is expended in lightening the burden of someone to whom the world has not been overkind.\n\nThe causes for the anomaly of a \"promise\" being superior in value to the \"performance\" in this issue are undoubtedly many, but the principal cause would appear to be the inadequate supply of bank notes for \"trade\" purposes; the value of bank notes emitted is returned in millions, but what proportion of these millions is in trade circulation is unknown, nor is the total ascertainable of the huge sum hoarded by the Chinese in South China as a protective measure against the insecure and mercurial paper of their own Banks, and their coin of varying and doubtful values.\n\nThis is a wonderful tribute to the note-issuing institutions of Hongkong, but they are possibly not performing fully the service intended by the Ordinances authorising their respective note issues in that an important percentage of such notes (larger than most people think) is being utilised to a purpose foreign to facilitation of trade by its permanent withdrawal into the Chinese equivalent of the French peasant's stocking.\n\nThis unexpected use of bank-notes has kept Hongkong currency at an over silver parity, and a position in taels, originally contracted for trade requirements which did not eventuate and since carried on speculatively, has intensified the difficulty by keeping up or even increasing the premium.\n\nSir, I think many of your readers will thoroughly endorse all that Mr. Baylis has said, re Flowers and Funerals. I hope something will be done to have stop this habit (for has it not become that?) of sending stacks of wreaths, ordered from Flower Street, by the office boy to the funeral of everyone of note who dies here.\n\nOld custom dies hard, but if instead of the wreath the cost of it could be sent to Captain Baylis for distribution, what an amount of real suffering would be alleviated. Tomorrow, from entirely selfish motives, I am going to make a start. I am informing those few, alas! very few persons who in the event of my decease would be likely to send a wreath, to forward $2.50 instead to Captain Baylis, for though I can think of little good I have done by living, I will then in my last hours have the consolation that I have endeavoured to accomplish some little good by dying.—Yours, etc.,\n\nCORONA.\n\n### That Shanghai Notice.\n\nSir, I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of October 5, addressed to the Chairman of Council, relative to an enquiry by the Editor of Dearborn Publishing Company as to whether the expression \"No dogs or Chinese admitted\" appears on any public signboard in Shanghai.\n\nIn reply, I have the honour to inform you that no such notices are posted in any parks or in any of the places under the Council's jurisdiction, furthermore, careful investigation reveals the fact that such a notice has never appeared in the International Settlement.\n\nFor your information, I have the pleasure in handing you herewith three photographic reproductions of notices posted in the various parks and gardens. The Council would, accordingly, greatly appreciate it, if when replying to the Dearborn Publishing Company, you would emphatically point out that such statements as these are entirely false, unfounded and unwarrantable and that their publication is strongly objected to by the Council and the Foreign Community at Shanghai.—I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant,\n\n(Sgd.) E. S. B. ROWE, Secretary.\n\nAttached to these letters are facsimiles of the Regulations posted outside the Public and Reserve Gardens, Jessfield Park, and Hongkew Park, notes, a natural and normal consequence of weakness in the sterling rate in Shanghai vis-a-vis a relatively unmovable rate in Hongkong.\n\nIn other words, the premium of Hongkong notes is primarily due to the demand therefor exceeding the supply, and in a secondary manner to the speculation in taels.\n\nThere are undoubtedly other very many causes, but whatever they may be, the fact remains that a departure of a currency from its parity, whether a rise or fall from its basis of value, cannot react otherwise than detrimentally to trade.\n\nThe question is full of intricacies, and a satisfactory solution even more so, but a remedy might be found in an increase in the issue of bank notes, and placing a curb on the speculation in taels. The latter might be reached without great difficulty by agreement between the Banks themselves but, for obvious reasons, it cannot be effective unless accompanied by drastic measures to meet the trade requirements of Hongkong in respect of banknotes.\n\nNeither will an increase by itself in the issue of Bank notes remedy the situation unless accompanied by a certainty of convertibility.\n\n### Yunnan Fighting.\n\nTerrible Havoc Caused in Yunnanfu.\n\nPeking, July 16. Delayed messages from Yunnanfu paint a lurid picture of street fighting in that city, after a powder magazine explosion, which wrecked large areas of the city, including the French and British Consulates.\n\nThe explosion occurred on July 11. The British Consulate was mostly demolished, with most of its contents entirely destroyed. The Consul, Kirke, was injured, but not seriously.\n\nIt appears that troops of Generals Ho and Chang invaded Yunnan from Kweichow, marched on Yunnanfu, where a weak defending force failed to beat off the attack. The invaders got into the city, and there was much fighting in the streets, followed by the explosion of the powder magazine. There are further details yet to come.—Reuter.\n\n[An exclusive cable to S.C.M. Post last week gave facts of the explosion, and its results.]\n\n### The Colonies.\n\nAppointment of Mr. Hartshorn Foreshadowed.\n\nLondon, June 2. The Times to-day features an article by its Parliamentary correspondent, forecasting that on the conclusion of the Simon Commission's work Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, M.P., will be invited to Office and the Colonial Office separated from the Dominions Office, when the latter will be definitely separated.\n\nLord Passfield will continue to act as Secretary of State for Dominions and Mr. Hartshorn take charge of the Colonial Branch.\n\nM.

On Saturday a luncheon was given at the Kam Ling Restaurant, West Point, in honour of H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, and the affair was carried out with great success. About 180 gentlemen were present, including over 30 guests. The approach to the restaurant was most elaborately decorated in the Chinese manner, and the dining-room was a mass of beautiful flowers. Festoons added to the brightness of the room.\n\nFlags were used in the decoration. A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12:30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and included the usual choice dishes offered on such occasions—birds' nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of \"The King\" was duly honoured. The Duke and party left at about 1:45, His Royal Highness thanking his Chinese friends for their hospitality.\n\nOther guests at the luncheon included members of the Prince's suite, the Governor's staff, Capt. Arbuthnot, of H.M.S. **Suffolk**, members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, and representatives of the leading business houses.\n\nThe following were among those present:\n| Name | Company/Organization |\n| --- | --- |\n| F.

One likes to think of sunshine and blue clouds for such occasions—but it may well be that Prince Henry may be remembered as \"the King's son who brought the rain in time of famine.\"\n\nThe day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.\n\n### DEPARTING FORMALITIES\n\n#### SCENE AT QUEEN'S PIER\n\nPractically the same formalities, only in different order, were observed at His Royal Highness's departure as at his arrival. Accompanied by His Excellency the Governor, the Royal visitor, who wore the tropical uniform of the 10th Hussars, arrived by car followed by three cars containing other members of the staff. They were preceded as usual by members of the police flying squad.\n\nIn front of the pier the guard of honour was provided by 3/15 Punjabis Regiment, the band and pipe and drum band of the battalion also being present.\n\nOn the pier, as at the landing, were the members of the Legislative Council, a number of Senior Naval, Military, and Air Force Officers, including Vice-Admiral A. K. Waistell and Major-General Sandilands, and prominent members of the Chinese community.\n\nAfter the National Anthem had been played and the Royal Salute given, Prince Henry and His Excellency inspected the Guard.\n\nPage 66\n\nF.

He had been in Hong Kong and had been managing the Company in 1926 and 1927. He is acquainted with the Company's accounts and operations.\n\nThe Company's accounts, in recent years, have been audited by Messrs Lowe, Bingham & Matthews, and they prepared the latest balance sheet to 31st December, 1929.\n\nThe accounts show a sum of $290,446.51 due from the Company to various creditors, mostly suppliers of labour and materials, and contractors.

Incidentally, it may be mentioned that he is most anxious to guard the reputation of his father. He has arranged with the creditors that, by way of and in full settlement, they will accept eighty per cent. of their claims, also that an interest claim by the Hong Kong Excavation & Pile Driving Company, Limited, which amounted on the 30th September, 1929, to $13,588.03, be foregone and withdrawn. This interest claim was made in respect of financing the Kowloon Tong & New Territories Development Company, Limited, when calls from the subscribers could not be got in, by continuing the work of development.\n\nThe proposal made to the Government is as follows: The subscribers to pay $104,083, half the reduced sum, and on such payment, or when such sum has been collected, the Government to contribute a like sum. All the creditors to be paid the agreed 80%, and all claims and disputes by and between or against the Government, the Company, and the subscribers to be thereby completely settled.\n\nIn putting forward this proposal, Captain Ede points out that, if driven to do so, the Company must and will challenge the re-entry or forfeiture on the ground that there was in fact no default because the one-fourth premium was not due as claimed, but he stresses his desire for a settlement disposing of the point, and any claim touching the undertakings and liabilities of the Government under the Agreement.\n\n \n7.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-520-12 Development of Kowloon Tong Estate 11-12-1929 - 16-6-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 522342, "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": "CO129-521-14 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 31-10-1930 - 10-1-1931", "page_number": 5, "title": "CO129-521-14 Chinese Customs- proposed agreement with Hong Kong 31-10-1930 - 10-1-1931", "content_text": "5\n\n4.

Mr. W.E.L. Shenton (Chairman), Mr. M.T. Johnson, and Mr. A. Ritchie of Messrs.

This body has been considering the labour aspects of the Salaries Commission Report, but the Special Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, above referred to, has had submitted to it the Report as a whole, including the labour aspects. The Committee may possibly adopt the findings of the Labour Advisory Board as regards artisan employment, but will welcome any observations you may be disposed to make thereon. The report of the Labour Advisory Board was to the following effect:-\n\n\"The Board does not concur in the recommendations made by the Salaries Commission as far as they affect labour; that the present rate of pay of Government employees in this category compare favourably with the present rates paid by commercial and industrial undertakings and that the proposed increase is not justified, and in the opinion of the Board if put into effect would lead to serious dislocation of wages throughout the Colony.

The question is whether in designing our future Chinese School, this institution should be made to include a class for teaching Chinese to \"foreigners\" or not. Personally I hold strongly that the School should contain a Cantonese Class. I feel that the University should have such a class and that it should not merely aim at teaching the rudiments of Cantonese to foreigners but at a scientific study of the language and of the most scientific methods of imparting it to \"foreigners\". If I am told that all those things could be done in the future I reply that one must look ahead. I am also told that the Government may very well change its policy of sending its cadets to the University and that then there may be no students in the Class. The Class was of course never intended to cater for cadets only. We have had other students and we hope to attract more; but it is true that the cadets are likely to constitute a less fluctuating source of supply. But the Government asked the University to start this class. It was carried on during last year and the two new cadets who are expected in a few days are to be sent to us. The University is very glad to carry on this work but I don't think that it can be expected to carry on this work indefinitely on the basis of a series of arrangements that simply hold good for a year and may be discontinued at the close of every year. Such a class cannot be satisfactorily organised and indeed financial considerations apart, I am quite convinced that if there is to continue to be a Cantonese class in the University and a Chinese School, it must become a part of the Chinese School. It has been suggested that the Chinese gentlemen who might contribute towards the provision of a School of Chinese for Chinese Students might give, if the scheme included a class for teaching foreigners Chinese, some amount however small, for the maintenance of such a class. I should not have thought that there was very much in this.

It appeared to the meeting that some of the recommendations were general in character and did not provide for any action by any Department of His Majesty's Government. There were, on the other hand, a number of important recommendations where the Department of Overseas Trade should either initiate action or draw the attention of other Departments to them so as to ensure that there was no possibility of their being overlooked.\n\nThe recommendations falling within the latter category have now been grouped in such a way as to enable them to be considered collectively, and have been incorporated in the attached memorandum. For instance, recommendations in regard to group selling have been made by the Trade Mission to South Africa, the Economic Mission to the Far East, the Trade Mission to Egypt, the Sheffield Industrial Mission to South America, the Scottish Woollen Trade Delegation to the U.S.A. and Canada, and by the Leather Delegation to Northern Europe, and these recommendations have been collated.\n\nWith a view to implementing these recommendations wherever practicable, the Minister is extremely anxious that all possible action falling within the scope of the Department's functions should be taken without delay, and for this purpose he wishes to have the constructive guidance of the Council.\n\nIt was largely", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-531-10 Hong Kong University- encouragement of Chinese students to counteract American influence 30-5-1931 - 1-9-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 530117, "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": "CO129-533-13 Salaries- conversion rate of sterling 30-1-1931 - 21-1-1932", "page_number": 325, "title": "CO129-533-13 Salaries- conversion rate of sterling 30-1-1931 - 21-1-1932", "content_text": "## SCHEDULE A.\n\n| Post | Signature | Commission Report | Ranks |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 452 | ZWR.

I made nothing out of the promotion of this company. Had I wished to defraud it, I was in an admirable position to do so. I made out the Memorandum and Articles of Association. I made out my own contract as President and fixed my own salary. I did not in fact \"squeeze\" anybody. I invested my own money in shares, I never sold any one of those shares. I still possess them, for what they are worth. And my intentions being fraudulent, I would have got rid of my shares while the public believed the Company to be doing well, that would have been the time for me to sell.\n\nThe\n\nBoth my wife and myself were depositors in the Bank. We still are. We saw the crash coming to the Bank, we saw the Canton and Shekki crash. Bank owes us money because although we saw the liquidation coming, we knew the Bank was a sound proposition and we fully believed the Bank would carry on and would pay all creditors, therefore we did not draw out the money.\n\nIf the books had not been systematically kept or records were missing this would have been adduced against me and would have been a strong point, but we have had expert opinion that the books were in excellent condition. The records were all intact and were kept with great care. The expenses of the firm were kept low, everything was done with a view to building up a permanent firm, not a \"bucket shop\" or \"Fly-by-night\". Mr. Brewer was trusted by his shareholders.\n\nAfter the Canton and Shekki Trouble a unanimous resolution was that the unforeseeable troubles were not the fault of the management. In spite of the heavy blow the shareholders went out of their way to express their confidence in the management.\n\nI was proposed and passed unanimously as one of the liquidators, at the finish I was proposed voluntary liquidator, and as such I did my best to show myself deserving of their trust, and the first thing I did was to call in Messrs. Lowe, Bingham & Matthews to go through our books, to find exactly how things stood. That was not the action of one who had fraud to conceal.\n\nI gave them every information and every assistance possible, and was enabled to put through an agreement with the Singapore people to carry on the business, in which everything in respect of the Bank was clearly set forward and without any attempt at distortion.\n\nWhen the compulsory liquidation came into effect, I at once produced voluntarily a Balance Sheet, showing exactly how the firm stood. I gave every possible explanation and information that I could both to the Official Receiver and to the special manager and also when I was publicly examined, there was no attempt to hold back about 40 odd pages of words spoken by me, not", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-535-5 N.I.

At the time I had no knowledge of his qualifications or his identity, except that I was informed that he audited 15 companies' books and was a suitable man. \n\nYou did not know ? Before the audit I investigated his qualifications. At the time of the statutory meeting I knew nothing of Mr. Li Tung except that his name was brought forward that he was declared to be the auditor of 15 companies. \n\nLater, before he audited our books I investigated his qualifications. That was nearly a year later. \n\n- \n\nWhen you investigated his qualifications what did you think of them ? I concluded as you did that he was entitled my first conclusion was that he was entitled only to audit Chinese books. My second conclusion was, on re-reading the Ordinance, that it was not sufficiently clear to justify my upsetting a fait accompli. The shareholders had already appointed him auditor and the Ordinance makes no provision for distinction between Chinese and English auditors whatever, and for the Registrar to purport to make such a distinction is ultra vires. Having these genuine doubts in my mind, I took no steps to alter the position as it stood. \n\nBo Bo on \n\nDon't you think it would have been wiser to have an audit by a European firm ? I certainly do and if you notice so as I was empowered to dictate who should audit, Messrs Lowe Bingham and Matthews got the job. \n\nYou have seen Mr Li Tung - what do you think of his knowledge \n\nHe reads of English? His knowledge of English is poor. and writes excellently his spoken English is bad. \n\n- \n\nBad, is putting it mildly! The adjourned general meeting was held on the 21st July, 1928. At that meeting one of the resolutions was that Mr Li Tung be re-elected auditor for the coming year. That was after you had a year's experience of Mr. Li Tung. (Ex. NIB 1 shown to witness) ? Yes, quite correct. At that meeting you were content you acquiesced, to Mr. Li Tung's re-appointment ? At that meeting I did not know some things which I know now. I had just come back you will notice. \n\nYou acquiesced to the re-appointment ? \n\nYes. \n\nDo \n\nI want to go on to when the Company had to liquidate. you agree with me that one of the main causes of the Company's failure was an absence of working capital ? I entirely disagree with you. At the time we handed over to the Official Receiver we had an agreement whereby creditors would be paid in full and the shareholders would receive a settlement of 75 cents in the dollar. That is not failure though it is a \n\nreverse. \n\nYou say you were never at any time short of working capital ? I would not say that. No firm could ever say that. \n\n? \n\nYou were never short of capital We could always meet our obligations until Mrs. Jen See Chin failed to pay her debt on the 1st June, 1928. \n\n4.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-535-5 N.I.

I did my best to make it so (Ex.NIB.10).\n\nThat document represents the balances appearing in your company's books in 1928?

No, because the printed balance sheet does not declare Issued Capital - It was \"Issued and Subscribed\".\n\nIncluded in that figure 2,613,260.00 is a sum of $1,133,000.00 in respect of which no cash had been received, and no allotment of shares had been made; is that right?

Perfectly correct - and it is also true that it was subscribed Capital in agreement with the balance sheet.\n\nJudge: You agree that that portion of the Capital was never allotted? No.\n\nAnd you had never received a cent of it? I have carefully distinguished that in my balance sheet.\n\nAnd you never expected to receive a cent?

Yes.\n\nOut of this $1,133,000.00? No, but shares of the same class.\n\nThese Application Forms for these shares were received no later than August, 1927?

The intention was partly to notify the Chinese public and officials that the firms concerned were under foreign jurisdiction, but chiefly, I thought, to protect British business from the supposed danger of having Chinese limited companies mistaken for British. Exemption licences were only intended to be granted sparingly to companies with old established \"hong\" names, which were well known to be British.\n\n3.

So far as the unhappy merchant is concerned, however, this \"honest\" currency is playing havoc with him; the present high level depreciates all his import stocks and paralyses his export trade.\n\nIndeed, I have no hesitation in saying that unless means can be found to give a far greater measure of stability to silver, Hongkong must go off it, but until the U.S. Dollar and Sterling are stabilised, it is not much use linking up with Sterling or any other currency.

The Germans were more successful by means of long credit, barter methods, and very low prices. He would anticipate, nevertheless, that German competition in capital goods would diminish because the barter method was exhausting its possibilities. The use of the askimerk system was being restricted and Otto Wolff had lost heavily on some of his contracts.\n\nSIR FREDERICK LEITH-ROSS said that he had suggested in his report that there should be an improvement in the machinery for the placing and scrutinising of orders given by the Boxer Purchasing Commission. It was felt in China that, as the Commission was obliged to place certain orders in the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom firms concerned made use of the fact to demand higher prices than in other markets. Moreover, in a particular case, that of the Vulcan locomotives ordered for the Canton-Hankow railway, the material supplied had been found defective or unsuitable. He asked whether this matter had been taken up with the Purchasing Commission.\n\nSIR EDWARD CROWE stated that the Commission had in fact been awaiting Sir Frederick's return in order to discuss the position with him. SIR FREDERICK pointed out that the Chinese Government were anxious to capitalise the fund in order to finance immediate purchases. He was not sure that this was a sound policy, but there was no doubt they were very interested in carrying through the transactions quickly. SIR EDWARD CROWE said that many manufacturers were not in present circumstances in a hurry for orders and would prefer to wait.

He agreed that it would be advisable, as **Sir Edward Crowe** suggested, to wait until **Lord Riverdale** had given his comments on the report from the Commercial Counsellor regarding the alleged defects in the locomotives. **MR.

It was difficult to judge whether the complaints were justified but, if what he had been told was true, the situation was unsatisfactory. Many consular officers seemed to suffer from a feeling of discouragement and lacked interest in their work. He received the impression that very few spoke Chinese really well, and he considered whether knowledge of Chinese was essential. He had been surprised to find that the officers did not know the leading Chinese bankers and business men in their districts.

The Service had been amalgamated with the General Service and it would be possible to move officers on a more satisfactory system. As to language, he was inclined to think that the occasions on which it was necessary to speak Chinese were few and far between, and as to this **SIR JOHN PRATT** said that a man who really learnt Chinese would have no time for practical work. He added that it was difficult for a Consular Officer to go outside official circles in China and such circles would not include local bankers. As to this **SIR FREDERICK LEITH-ROSS** considered that in present conditions in China, it was almost essential for consular officers to get on good terms with the leading Chinese bankers and merchants in their districts. The importance of having wide contacts would fully justify their breaking any rules of etiquette.\n\nAs regards the language, **MR. ASHTON GWATKIN** said it was possible for a Consular Officer to get on if he did not know it but his efficiency was doubled if he did. He suggested that it should not be compulsory to know the language but that officers should be encouraged to learn it by the prospect of a substantial language allowance.\n\n**SIR EDWARD CROWE** said that he would consider the question of reappointing an inspector of Consular Services in China; also the possibility of periodic conferences with the Head of the Mission.

That is because it is the true and only possible reply. I was not here at the time, but I have read the correspondence and from it emerges very plainly the dilemma in which Government found itself. It was on the one hand, as the Honourable Member expressed it, the trustee of the taxpayer; and it was on the other the Keeper of the public conscience.\n\nThe fact that the advice for fixing exchange forward was tendered unanimously by the Unofficial Members of this Council was proof enough that the proposal was not morally indefensible. But there are matters in which a Government should not allow itself to be placed in a position where a defence of its morality may be even called for. For Government to have fixed exchange forward with an exclusive foreknowledge of relevant future events to be brought about by itself might, I consider, have created a situation in which official scrupulousness could have been questioned; and questionings of that kind might have done the Administration greater injury than it would have reaped financial gain by fixing exchange forward. That is all I have to say on this motion but before putting it to the vote I would ask the Honourable proposer to consider whether his purpose has not been adequately served by this debate; if it has, there is hardly any need to proceed to a division.\n\n**MOTION DEFEATED**\n\nSir Henry Pollock intimated that the Unofficial members desired to leave the Council Chambers to deliberate over the matter, after an absence of ten minutes, the Hon. Mr. M K. Lo addressing His Excellency the Governor, said that while he thanked Colonial Secretary and Dr. Wellington for their comprehensive statements, he was not convinced Government had taken steps in retrenchment.\n\nIt was impossible for him to reply at a moment's notice, but he felt that he had the support of the Unofficial members on this point. Mr. Lo said that he was particularly grateful for what His Excellency had said and the manner in which he had taken the motion. That the Civil Service was overstaffed was not only his opinion, but that of the general public. In addition it was condemned generally by Civil Servants themselves.\n\nIn view of His Excellency's assurances, he wished to submit that the idea of his motion was to record his view and intimated that he wished the motion to be put to the division. The motion was defeated by nine votes to six.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga abstained from voting. He said that to his mind the statements made by the Government were satisfactory, and the assurance that they would undertake to keep an eye on the problem, met with his approval. Before the vote was taken Sir H. Pollock informed His Excellency that the Unofficial members were in entire agreement with the views expressed.\n\nThe Council meeting then adjourned sine die.\n\n### SIR ROBERT'S PARTY \n#### Farewell To Sir Wm.

Post representative yesterday, General Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, made the following statement regarding the visit to Hongkong: \n\n\"The relations between Great Britain and China have been traditionally friendly and those between Hongkong and Canton are particularly close and important. Two months ago, His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, the Governor, was kind enough to pay a visit to Generalissimo Chiang and ourselves in Canton, thereby further strengthening the bonds of our friendship. Acting on instructions from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, and the wish of the people that we should return that visit, I, in company with Mayor Tseng Yang-fu, have come to Hongkong.\n\n\"I am most thankful for and deeply impressed by the most cordial and impressive welcome accorded to us by the authorities of Hongkong and by the enthusiasm shown by our nationals here. I am particularly delighted to have had the opportunity of making personal contacts with the high officials of the Hongkong Government as well as leaders of the local community and representatives of the various Chinese public organisations.\n\n\"We are working for the prosperity of both Hongkong and Canton, and we feel quite confident that, after this visit, our friendship and co-operation will be increased and lead to useful results. I earnestly hope that in future we shall meet each other more often and exchange views for achieving progress, and promoting the welfare, of our two cities, and strengthening the ties of friendship between Great Britain and China.”\n\n## CHINESE TIFFIN\n\n### Businessmen Entertain At Hongkong Hotel\n\n#### SPEECHES OF WELCOME\n\nGeneral Huang Mu-sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, Mayor of Canton, were the guests of honour at a tiffin in the Hongkong Hotel Roof Garden yesterday, when they were entertained by a group of leading Chinese business men. Other guests included the trade delegation which arrived from Canton yesterday morning.\n\nIn proposing a toast to General Huang and Mr. Tseng, the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, who spoke in Chinese, said:\n\n\"The visit of His Excellency the Chairman of the Provincial Government of Kwangtung and His Honour the Mayor of Canton has given unbounded pleasure to the whole community of Hongkong. The warmth of their welcome has seldom been equalled. It was but in September last that Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott called on Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in Canton, when he had the opportunity of meeting many high officials there, and of cementing the friendly relations between Kwangtung and Hongkong. To-day, so soon after that visit, His Excellency the Chairman, General Huang Mu-sung, and His Honour Mayor Tseng Yang-fu honour Hongkong with a visit. This is clear evidence of the harmonious friendship between the Authorities of the two places, and also of the increasingly cordial relations between China and Great Britain.\n\n\"Of the population of Hongkong about 97 per cent. are Chinese. Canton and Hongkong are closely related, geographically, commercially, and even from the point of view of peace and good order. Last night at the banquet at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman very aptly likened Canton and Hongkong to two sisters. I venture to make two other comparisons. Canton is as a mansion, and Hongkong its gateway; Canton is as the human trunk, and Hongkong its throat.\n\n\"Fortunes Linked. A few days ago His Honour the Mayor, speaking at a meeting of the Rotary Club in Canton, said somewhat to the effect that if Canton prospered, Hongkong would also prosper; if Canton suffered, Hongkong would also suffer; that, in short, the two places are interdependent. There can be no doubt that Canton and Hongkong share their prosperity and adversity, and are intimately responsive to each other in ebb and in flow.\n\n\"A few days ago, when I went up to Canton to attend the State funeral of the late Mr. Hu Han-min, I was overwhelmed by the unbounded hospitality of His Excellency the Chairman and of His Honour the Mayor. Though the conversations I had with them were short, they were not too short to enable me to realise that they had already gained thorough knowledge of local conditions. Now, they have come personally to Hongkong, and are seeing for themselves the conditions of the Chinese in particular, and of the Colony in general. Their knowledge will thus be enhanced, for 'to see with the eye is better than to hear with the ear,' just as one personal contact is better than a hundred letters.\n\n\"Both the Chairman and the Mayor love the people, and are assiduous in their efforts for their welfare. Since the assumption of their high offices, they have introduced what is modern, and abolished what is obsolete. They have upheld law and order, and they know the needs and heed the aspirations of the people.\n\n\"Hongkong happily also has as its Governor Sir Andrew Caldecott who has understanding and sympathy, vision and ability. Thus, like 'the echoing sound or the responding spirit', friendly co-operation will, of a certainty, be forthcoming, to the benefit of the two places.\n\n\"Able Assistants. Moreover, all those who have accompanied the Chairman and the Mayor on this visit are men of outstanding ability. Among the officials there are, for instance, Dr. Tyau, Colonel Li Fong, General Wong Keung, and Colonel Chang Yuan-man. Among the commercial party there are, among others too numerous to name, Mr. Ho Chap-ping and Mr. Chau Tin-pong who, with their colleagues, form a distinguished party. Our pleasure has been enhanced by the presence of His Majesty's Consul-General in Canton, Mr. Herbert Phillips, and of other prominent citizens of the Colony, official and unofficial, British and Chinese.\n\n\"Last night at Government House, His Excellency the Chairman quoted this happy saying: 'To befriend the one's good neighbour, and to co-operate with him, is a precious asset of a nation.' This precept is being carried into practice by Canton and Hongkong to-day.\n\n\"My fellow-hosts and I sincerely hope that our distinguished guests will not measure the extent of our respect and admiration for them by the inadequacy of the arrangements which we have made for their welcome and entertainment. We wish them every success in their high endeavours, and we wish Kwangtung peace and prosperity. Gentlemen, I now ask you to raise your glasses and drink with me to the health of His Excellency General Huang Mu-sung and Mr. Tseng Yang-fu.\"\n\nThe toast was responded to by Gen. Huang and Mr. Tseng, who spoke in Cantonese.\n\n#### Gen. Huang's Response\n\nIn coming to Hongkong with the Mayor Mr. Tseng Yang-fu to return the visit of His Excellency Sir Andrew Caldecott, I have been accorded the warmest welcome and I feel I have been greatly honoured. It is almost two years since I last visited Hongkong. On coming here again this time, I am glad to see with my own eyes the progress in trade and industry, the prosperity of the market, and the bright and harmonious views from every aspect. The economic depression has affected world trade generally, but Hongkong is able to stand out against all. You Gentlemen and the Government are to be congratulated for your efforts which have had such satisfactory results.\n\nChina's poverty has been due to two reasons—political instability and want of co-operation between Government and people.

His Majesty's Government and the Government of Burma welcome in principle the establishment of direct road connexion between Burma and China, and you may so inform the Chinese Government. Actual route must depend on latter's decision, but for the immediate purpose the route from railhead at Lashio via Muse and Tengyueh (Tengchong) to connect with the motor road between Yunnanfu and Paoshan (or possibly to Bhamo or Wanting) would seem most suitable, though the text appears to read \"huse and lungling to connect with the motor road between Yunnanfu and biakwan\". On a longer view route via Kunlong would perhaps be more advantageous; this would, however, raise question of territorial rights in Hopang salient.\n\n3. Government of Burma could not incur any considerable outlay on improving existing roads or on new construction without being assured that trade in arms (and other goods) would produce enough in transit charges to make it a reasonable proposition and that these charges would be promptly paid.\n\nAddressed to Nanking No.438; repeated to Peking No.506, Yunnanfu No.5 and Burma No.177.\n\n(F.8797/1.30/10)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 552746, "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": "CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937", "page_number": 67, "title": "CO129-560-15 Traffic of arms to China 18-2-1937 - 15-11-1937", "content_text": "**Confidential**\n\n## Cypher Telegram to Sir R.

I take it that there has been no change in the policy of His Majesty's Government to allow the import of munitions through Hongkong for both belligerents, though I note that the Colonial Office in their telegram to Hongkong No. 152 said that the matter was being further considered. The effect on Chinese feelings of any withdrawal of facilities which they now have of obtaining munitions through Hongkong would be deplorable, and I earnestly trust it can be avoided.

This would disclose nothing which would harm China and yet might do something to convince the Japanese that we are not China's chief suppliers of war material.

Matter was considered on September 11th at meeting with naval and military authorities and Consul-General. Commander-in-Chief in giving his appreciation of present military situation expressed the opinion that while it was highly desirable to evacuate women and children last month it is even more necessary to prevent their return now owing to unexpected slowness in situation reaching stability and that date when it will be safe for them to return seems to be more distant than was thought originally although situation may change rapidly at any moment by retirement of Chinese.

G. Howe, on his way to Shanghai to act as deputy for the British Ambassador, delayed his sailing from here today for twenty-four hours to consult the Government on the blockade which the Japanese have swiftly established.\n\nOnly an imperative Government order, it is believed, stopped a gunboat from going to help the British river steamer Taishan when she was intercepted and turned back by a Japanese cruiser.\n\nThe situation has been created by the seizure of Lintin Island, five miles south-west of Hongkong, outside British territorial waters, and of Pratas Shoals, 180 miles south-east.\n\nThe radio station and observatory on Pratas Shoals have been destroyed, and it is thought Japan will set up a seaplane base there.\n\n## JAPANESE SEIZE ISLETS WIRELESS STATION WRECKED\n\nFROM OUR CORRESPONDENT\n\nHONG-KONG, SEPT. 7\n\nChinese employees of the Sea Products Company, which collects seaweed at Pratas Shoals, a group of islets and reefs 180 miles south-east of Hong-kong, have arrived here and tell a harrowing story of the seizure of the islets by Japanese.\n\nJapanese marines landed on Friday morning with two machine-guns and two anti-aircraft guns and surrounded the meteorological and wireless station, which watches for typhoons. They ejected the staff and wrecked the interior of the station. Then, it is reported, they lined up the staff outside and forced them to kneel before machine-guns while the Sea Products Company's employees were being rounded up.\n\nAll were then locked up until the following day, when the lighthouse staff were haled forth and accused of concealing arms. The meteorological director, Mr. Lee King-hong, was questioned, and when he pleaded ignorance a knife was affixed in a towel on his head, and a marine who was armed with a hammer threatened to drive the knife in while two others pricked him with bayonets and an officer slapped his face. Other prisoners were similarly treated.\n\nThe next day, Sunday, the members of the lighthouse and meteorological staff were ordered to don uniforms and were taken on board a destroyer as prisoners of war. The Sea Products employees were put into a 25ft. junk with a small motor, were given five gallons of petrol, and were ordered to leave. They begged for more petrol and were given 15 gallons and were speeded on their way with gunshots. They reached Hong-kong after struggling for 41 hours in a rough sea and a strong gale. They report that one employee is missing.\n\n## PETROL FOR SEAPLANES\n\nThey saw 20 Japanese corpses, apparently a result of the first raid on Amoy, which were taken ashore at Pratas for cremation. The Japanese also landed 500 tins of aviation petrol, indicating their intention to use Pratas for a seaplane base. Chinese reports state a destroyer yesterday again shelled Amoy without warning, while six aeroplanes dropped six bombs. The damage was small.\n\nThree hundred Japanese women and children left Hong-kong on Sunday, and a further 200 Japanese, including a few men, were evacuated today. About 1,000 remain, and they are being accommodated at three concentration places for their safety.\n\nMr. R. G. Howe, who is going to China as Chargé d'Affaires at the British Embassy, arrived today in the Imperial Airways liner `Dorado`. He consulted with local officials and then departed for Shanghai tonight on board H.M.S. `Daring`.\n\nPage 1 \n1937 \n16. \nPage 42", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-15 Sino-Japanese War- Anti-Japanese demonstrations and evacuation of Japanese 1-9-1937 - 28-4-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 555071, "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": "CO129-563-16 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping 6-9-1937 - 13-11-1937", "page_number": 30, "title": "CO129-563-16 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping 6-9-1937 - 13-11-1937", "content_text": "# NO DISTRIBUTION\n\nDecode.\n\n**Sir R.

The Chinese can point to the clause in the Peking Convention of the 9th June, 1898, which secures to Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise, the right to use the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay. If a formal state of war were in existence, His Majesty's Government would not be prepared to permit any use of a kind which would conflict with their obligations as a neutral; alternatively, they would have to accord a similar indulgence to the other belligerent. They would accordingly only interpret the provision as meaning that they were not entitled (as they otherwise would be, though not compelled) to close these waters entirely to Chinese warships. They would also rely on the interpretation placed on the provision by the Viceroy of Canton and quoted in the Note from the Yamen to Her Majesty's Minister of the 10th September, 1898.\n\n2. Although no formal state of war exists, complications must inevitably ensue if belligerent warships were to be permitted to use Hongkong waters for belligerent purposes in a manner which would be contrary to the normal rules of neutrality, and it therefore appears desirable to act as though a state of war were in existence. The Governor is therefore being instructed that, although he need not object to innocent passage of belligerent warships through Hongkong waters or occasional brief visits of not more...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-563-17 Sino-Japanese War- attacks on shipping.

Reports of the luncheon appeared in the Press on the following morning.\n\nThe conversion of the appeal originally made by the China Association, the British Red Cross Society and the Conference of British Missionary Societies into a Lord Mayor's Fund is now being followed by the institution of a central office which, while working under the direction of the Executive Committee, will be presided over by someone unconnected with any of the three bodies.
