Some Chinamen came on board, but I don't know who they were. We then came to Hongkong, not having, to my knowledge, received at Mamee any remuneration. Except the two vessels already mentioned, I have never told either Roberts or Lyons of any vessels captured by the Eaglet, while out of Government employ.\n\nAfter my arrival in Hongkong, I received, in addition to my regular pay, $56, as my share of the remuneration for the service performed, and all the crew received shares. Mr Caldwell was in command on this occasion. I received $55 from the Chief Officer as my share of the remuneration. I have heard Mr Caldwell call a Chinaman, by the name of Jack, I believe residing somewhere in the Market; I have seen him on board the Eaglet.\n\nI do not know who had a share in the Eaglet's ventures or profits. I have had conversations with Roberts on Friday, Sunday, Tuesday. I know that the vessels we convoyed were generally full of cargo, even on deck, and carried only two or three small guns. I cannot say whether the two boats which I said I supposed were sold at Mamee were afterwards taken to the Admiralty court.\n\nWe were armed in the Eaglet. I do not know what sum was paid to the Captain by the mandarins as remuneration for the service; I received $56 from Siemssen & Co., as agents for the steamer. I do not know what amount the steamer was paid as remuneration, nor by whom.\n\n[Document produced signed. Siemssen & Co., containing \"chief officer Randall, his share in prize-money, entry $56.\"]\n\nThis paper was brought on board to me by a clerk of Siemssen & Co. I do not remember being present on any other occasion, when not employed by Government, at the capture of any Chinese vessels of any class or rig. Neither myself nor the crew were ever employed in any engagement ashore. In the beginning, I think, of 1856, the Mandarins at Swatow came on board, and asked us to assist with their soldiers in the retaking of two villages, which the pirates had taken.\n\nThey came on board three or four times a-day. That was $500, or that the Engineer's was $250. I did tell them that I got about $100 for the affair of the two boats, Mamee. This was mere talk. I had no idea I was coming here. I told them that this money was for prize-money and that my supposition was that the boats were sold. At the time I said this, I had not found the paper which I have searched for and produced to-day.\n\nI did tell them that I was disappointed at losing a lorcha with 50 chests of Opium on board, which was the lorcha I have already spoken of as having made her escape at Shatái. Roberts asked me how I knew what she was, and I replied, we had been told by the boat people of Mamee that they were pirates.\n\nI remember the Mandarins requesting the assistance of the vessel in retaking two villages; some of the crew were put with guns in the boats, but did not land, the mud preventing them. The villages were afterwards burnt by the people on shore. I am not aware whether the vessel received any remuneration for that service; I did not.\n\nThis is the chart for that service; the directions for going up to Swatow written on the chart are in my handwriting; I wrote them on the Sunday I have spoken of. Roberts said he would probably be going up that way himself, and asked me to give him the course up the river, so that he might avoid the pirates.\n\nInspector Roberts called on me on Saturday or Monday last. He asked me what I got for the junks that were sold at Mamee. I told him I got $55. I did not make use of the words \"we did not care what the devil she had on board, so that she had the Opium,\" but I have no recollections of doing so.\n\nHe asked me what I got out of the volunteer the statement. I replied that I got nothing. I said I did hear there were $2,000 got for it. He said there was more money than that for it, and that it amounted to $12,000. That was about the whole of the conversation. Lyons was with Roberts at this time. It was a general conversation between the three.\n\nGEORGE STONE.-Called and examined.\n\nI knew Mr Caldwell first about June 1855. In July of that year, I was appointed by Mr Caldwell Chief-Engineer of the Eaglet. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself in this affair at St John's. I never told either Roberts or Lyons that my share in the Swatow business was $250. She was principally engaged in convoying Chinese Merchant junks up and down the coast, and in carrying passengers and cargo.\n\nShe had, I think, seven guns on board when she commenced the convoy business. She was sometimes engaged in the employment of Government for the purpose of suppressing piracy. On one occasion, she went in company with Her Majesty's steamer Rattler and boats of American samer Powhattan to Kulan, for the purpose of destroying a nest of pirates.\n\nDuring the whole time of my employment, I never knew the Eaglet engaged in committing any act of piracy, but only in suppressing such. I remember the occasion of our going to Mamee with a convoy; our being informed that there were pirates on the coast; and being requested to go in chase of them. We succeeded in finding four of them near St John's: three ran aground, one of which was so far off that we could not get near; two we captured; and the fourth, which was a large lorcha painted black, having a large number of men on board, engaged us till dark; she was too strong for us to capture.\n\nWe took the two captured boats to Mamee. The mandarins came on board for several days requesting us to assist them, and when the water was sufficiently deep, we got up as far as we could and anchored at low water. Being a-ground, we remained there several days. The mandarins came with their soldiers in several boats to the attack of the village. We fired several shells, but we were too far off for them to take effect. We took no other part in the engagement.\n\nThe vessels which we were in the habit of convoying were trading vessels. I remember that some junks under our convoy refused to leave Mamee until the pirates had been driven away. I think, but am not positive, that Mr Caldwell said that the owners of the boats had given him money for their recapture, which he would divide among the crew in Hongkong, retaining a portion for the vessel.\n\nI do not know of my own knowledge what the mandarins said to Mr Caldwell. They spoke in Chinese. I do not remember any paper being given him by the mandarins. I think that a portion of the money for the convoy of the junks to Swatow was paid there, and a portion at the Westward.\n\nI remember the ship's boats being lowered to assist the innocent people in driving away the mandarins from plundering them. During the whole time of my connection with the Eaglet, I never remember her having or being in communication with pirates or rendering them any assistance or convoying them. I was passing by the station when Roberts and Lyons asked me to go up to their room.\n\nThey talked of various things and brought the questions round. I had not the slightest idea that it was for the purpose of inducing me to give evidence. They did not, after questioning me, say they should want me to give evidence, but I surmised so afterwards, and told them I thought I would have to come up here.\n\nRoberts first asked me if I would compare my Coast Charts with his. I had not mine with me, but he asked me to look at his, and point out the entrance to the river Han where the villages were.\n\nCross-examined, I remember with reference to the Mamee business, that on the return voyage to Hongkong...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-068 - Sir Bowring - 1858 [5-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 253127, "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": "CO129-085 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [1-4]", "page_number": 210, "title": "CO129-085 - Sir Robinson - 1862 [1-4]", "content_text": "## on H.

Aucune bande n'est signalée dans l'intérieur du royaume, les symptômes d'agitation ont disparu presque partout.\"\n\n### Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\nExtract from the \"Temps\" of January 14, 1885.\n\nCHINE ET INDO-CHINE,--ATTAQUE D'UN POSTE FRANÇAIS AU CAMBODGE.-C'est à Sambor, sur le grand fleuve, près de la frontière du Laos Siamois qu'ont éclaté les désordres que nous avons annoncés hier en dernière heure. Sambor est un marché très important, chef-lieu d'un des arrondissements de la Province de Kratié, à 50 lieues à vol d'oiseau dans le nord-est de Phnum-Penh, la capitale du royaume. Nous avions en ce point un poste de vingt-cinq tirailleurs Annamites, et l'on rapporte que l'officier qui le commandait et quelques hommes ont été tués après une vigoureuse résistance.\n\nOn peut se demander à quelles causes générales il faut attribuer ce mouvement à la frontière Siamoise. Il en est une toute locale. Sambor est à la limite de la navigation et le fleuve dans ces parages était jusqu'en ces derniers temps infesté de pirates qui trouvaient souvent parmi les Mandarins Cambodgiens des protecteurs intéressés.\n\nLes barques n'osaient plus s'aventurer sur le Mékong et le commerce avec le Laos menaçait de disparaître, faute de sécurité, quand le Conseil Colonial de la Cochinchine décida la création d'un service par steamer afin de desservir les escales Cambodgiennes. La piraterie a reçu ainsi un coup mortel: les populations paisibles se sont remises à la culture; les richesses du Laos descendirent aux entrepôts de Saigon sans payer leur tribut aux pirates et aux Mandarins. Mais cela faisait encore moins les affaires des pirates que celles des Mandarins, et cette révolution économique a dû contribuer à grouper autour de Siwotha, le frère du Roi, le promoteur de tous les mouvements contre l'autorité de Norodom, une grande partie des écumeurs de ...\n\nPage 197\nPage 29\n[811] B-1", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 329803, "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": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "page_number": 126, "title": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "content_text": "## N° 3482\n\n8\n\nna capitale, et il aurait certainement renversé Norodom sans les défaites que lui infligèrent, en décembre 1866 et en janvier 1867, nos troupes de Cochinchine, sous les ordres du colonel Reboul et des commandants Alleyron et Domange.\n\nJusqu'à la capture et à la mort de Pucombo, survenue au mois de novembre 1867, nos troupes ne cessèrent de tenir la campagne.\n\nLe concours de nos soldats et l'autorité grandissante de la France en Cochinchine, affirmée par un traité conclu avec Siam et par l'occupation, sans coup férir, au cours de cette même année 1867, des provinces occidentales du Delta du Mékong demeurées sous la domination annamite, procurèrent au roi Norodom une sécurité qu'il n'avait pas connue et une indépendance effective dont il n'avait pas encore joui.\n\nIl en profita pour exercer sur le Cambodge un despotisme sans frein et sans contrôle, dont les effets furent tels, au bout de quelques années, que son frère, le prince Votha, n'eut, pour ainsi dire, qu'à paraître, en 1876, pour être accueilli comme un libérateur par les provinces orientales. Nous dûmes encore intervenir. Nos canonnières remontèrent le fleuve pour prêter leur appui aux mandarins royaux qui tenaient la campagne contre les rebelles. Ce furent encore nos troupes de Cochinchine qui, en février 1877, mirent les rebelles en déroute dans la province de Baphnom, devenue le principal foyer de la rébellion.\n\nLe prince Votha forcé de se réfugier au Laos n'a cependant pas cessé de menacer la tranquillité du Cambodge; ses partisans y font de temps en temps des incursions, et c'est une de ses bandes qui attaquait naguère notre poste de Sambor.\n\nLes faits donc justifient amplement l'appréciation émise aux premières pages de son beau livre sur le royaume de Cambodge par M. Moura, notre ancien résident à Phnom Penh, l'homme de France qui connaît le mieux le Cambodge, à savoir que « sans l'intervention politique de la France dans ces contrées, cet intéressant petit Etat n'existerait plus à cette heure. »\n\nQu'a fait le roi Norodom en reconnaissance de cet appui? Qu'avons-nous obtenu de lui tant au point de vue des intérêts français que de notre action civilisatrice en Indo-Chine?\n\nIl convient, pour répondre nettement à ces questions, de résumer d'abord quelques notions précises sur le royaume protégé, sur sa population, ses ressources, son état social et son Gouvernement.\n\nLa superficie actuelle du Cambodge est à peu près le cinquième de celle de la France. Le pays s'étend sur les deux rives du grand fleuve Mékong, au nord de notre colonie de Cochinchine. Il touche à la mer dans le golfe de Siam et confine à l'est aux montagnes et aux forêts désertes de l'Annam. Le Cambodge est borné au nord par le royaume de Siam et des principautés laotiennes plus ou moins vassales de Bangkok. La ligne de démarcation entre Siam et le Cambodge a été arrêtée par la Convention conclue à Bangkok en 1867 entre le Gouvernement français et le Gouvernement siamois.\n\nNous en reproduisons le texte aux annexes.\n\nCe traité laissait au royaume de Siam les provinces cambodgiennes de Battambang et d'Angkor annexées de fait depuis de longues années. Le royaume de Siam renonçait par compensation à toute prétention à la suzeraineté sur le Cambodge, et il reconnaissait notre protectorat sur cet Etat. Le Gouvernement français s'engageait, de son côté, à ne pas incorporer le Cambodge à ses possessions de Cochinchine. Cet acte diplomatique est encore à présent en vigueur.\n\nLa grande artère de l'Indo-Chine orientale, le fleuve Mékong est malheureusement barré à la sortie du Laos par les cataractes de Khong, puis à l'entrée du Cambodge par les rapides de Sambor qui interrompent la navigation.\n\nDe Sambor jusqu'à la mer, sur un parcours de près de cinq cents kilomètres, le Mékong, accessible aux gros bateaux, roule un volume d'eau prodigieux. Sa largeur, entre Sambor et la mer... \n\n## Page 3 \n## Page 124", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 329819, "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": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "page_number": 142, "title": "CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885", "content_text": "# \n40\n\nEn Indo-Chine, prie instamment le Gouvernement de la République de demander au Parlement l'approbation pleine et entière de toutes les clauses de cette Convention, et prie également M. le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine de transmettre la présente adresse, par la voie télégraphique, à M. le Ministre de la Marine et des Colonies et à M. le Président de la Chambre des Députés.\n\nOnt signé : Blanchy, Garcerie, James, Rivière, Carabelli, Guérin, Jourdan, Schroeder, Jouyet, Reynaud, Sanh, Tanh, Duong, Tuong.\n\nVotre commission recevait encore, à la date du 17 décembre 1884, communication de deux dépêches télégraphiques à M. le Président de la Chambre des Députés, adressées, l'une par M. le maire de Saigon, au nom du Conseil municipal de cette ville, l'autre par la Chambre de Commerce de Saigon, exprimant le vœu de la ratification intégrale du traité de Phnom-Penh.\n\nCes manifestations du sentiment des représentants autorisés de nos concitoyens français et de nos sujets annamites de Cochinchine ne pouvaient que confirmer votre commission dans la conviction, résultant pour elle d'une étude attentive de l'histoire de notre protectorat au Cambodge, que l'accomplissement des réformes stipulées dans l'acte du 17 juin 1884 serait aussi profitable aux intérêts coloniaux de la métropole que fécond en conséquences heureuses pour l'amélioration du sort du peuple cambodgien.\n\nLes incidents qui se sont produits dans le royaume protégé depuis la signature du traité de Phnom-Penh prouvent d'ailleurs surabondamment la vanité des appréhensions que les adversaires de notre action civilisatrice en Indo-Chine s'étaient efforcés d'entretenir.\n\nDès la fin de juin, le Second Roi, les princes de la famille royale, en grande majorité, les principaux mandarins et les chefs des corporations chinoises et malaises de Phnom Penh, avaient donné à M. le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine l'assurance de leurs concours.\n\nAu mois d'octobre, M. le gouverneur Thomson, de retour au Cambodge, a délibéré et arrêté, de concert avec le Conseil des ministres du royaume, des décisions préparatoires des réformes, notamment en ce qui concerne l'abolition de l'esclavage et la constitution de la propriété, qui ont été sanctionnées par Norodom et revêtues du sceau royal. La municipalité de Phnom Penh a été instituée. Le Second Roi, les princes, les ministres et les principaux fonctionnaires cambodgiens assistaient à la cérémonie de l'installation. Dans les diverses provinces du royaume que M. le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine, représentant supérieur du Protectorat, a visitées, les mandarins et les notables indigènes ont témoigné de leur confiance et de leur soumission.\n\nEn dépit d'intrigues diverses, de faux bruits répandus et de l'annonce à Phnom-Penh que le traité ne serait pas ratifié, l'ordre n'a pas été un seul instant troublé jusqu'aux derniers jours de décembre, quoique l'effectif de nos forces militaires au Cambodge n'atteignît pas quatre cents hommes, tirailleurs annamites en majorité.\n\nDans les derniers jours de l'année écoulée, le rebelle impénitent Si-Votha, frère de Norodom, croyant l'occasion propice, est sorti de son refuge dans les provinces siamoises limitrophes du nord du Cambodge, pour tenter une incursion dans le royaume. Malgré la surprise du poste de Sambor, à la limite de la navigation à vapeur sur le Mékong, où l'officier français commandant le détachement de tirailleurs annamites a été tué, aucun mouvement insurrectionnel ne s'est produit parmi la population cambodgienne, et les bandes de Si-Votha, pourchassées quelques jours plus tard par la petite troupe du lieutenant-colonel Miramond, ont été battues, refoulées et dispersées vers les frontières du Laos.\n\nCette fois encore la France a rempli, comme elle l'a fait depuis plus de vingt ans au Cambodge, son devoir de puissance protectrice; ce sont nos soldats qui ont repoussé l'opiniâtre compétiteur du roi Norodom.\n\nVotre Commission aime à penser que ce dernier service, s'ajoutant à tant d'autres du même ordre, confirmera le roi\n\n## \n41\n\nNo 3482", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-224 - Foreign Office - 1885.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 345285, "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": "CO129-249 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [1-5]", "page_number": 394, "title": "CO129-249 - Governor Des Voeus Acting Governor Barker - 1891 [1-5]", "content_text": "L(121)--11696-6000-1-91\n\nJamor.

Thy then, the world may ask, were we solely told of Great Britain's \"just\" indignation about Germany's \"infamous proposal\"; why then were we not told of Great Britain's plain refusal to Germany to state her conditions?\n\nIt will be remembered that quite recently the British Ambassador in Berlin mystified the world by the report of his discovery of a great German news organisation said to be in course of contemplation. Everybody in Germany knows that such an organisation free from British influence has long been felt a necessity to counterbalance the hitherto overwhelming force of British world news services, But, of course, the British wanting the world to see things from the British point of view that is all right; however, other nations, and most particularly Germany, wishing the world to look at things also from points of view other than merely British, that is \"international Blackmail.\"\n\nBritish indignation, at Germany's \"infamous proposal\" was given out the world over as the motto for which Great Britain was to take up her arms; but to quote George Bernard Shaw: The world is beginning to get tired of Great Britain's \"national trick of virtuous indignation.\"\n\nThanking you for the space, and enclosing my name\n\nSI Jeugui\n\nau jud bertol ytilaz‡ven asizleß dalt,taelo Bl\n\nBLAT\n\ned‡ yd boxes modi .browa eft gaiwath aistita jaerð tɔl eeusxe -vez a 'muigied to sejasnsug &'ynanzeð teɖtedy zobaɛɛadri ɑarted of hexɛs Titnegru ned·· ΘΙΩΝ ΠΟΥ ,00 ‚vialjse bluow y÷tIg*t \\ etate\n\nShanghai, September 16.\n\nI am etc.,\n\nF.F.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-413 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [8-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 453071, "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": "CO129-420 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [1-2]", "page_number": 427, "title": "CO129-420 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [1-2]", "content_text": "# Page Four\n\n## An Imaginary Interview With Carnival Director Dean\n\nMills Dean, the Director General of the 1915 Carnival, was finally located by our reporter at the rehearsal of \"Defending Their Homes\" on the Carnival grounds. He was in earnest conversation with Dr. Cox, Dr. Robinson, Mr. Batchelder, and Col. Johnson from Rome, Georgia, boyhood friend of Mrs. Wilson and now here directing the census. Mills explained to the scribe: \"You see, this spectacular drama must not only be attractive but it must be historically accurate in every detail. This pirate Tamah is fierce, and I would like to have Mr. Batchelder take that role, but he wishes to have a sea scene, the sinking of a passenger ship. We can't have that. He wants to save the ladies by putting life-belts on them. I don't want a sea drama. I want his views on how the fierce wild tribes ought to act. I want expert advice on savages from him. Then Col. Johnson is from the South and these Tamah pirates are supposed to come up from the south. He wants to have them all stop fighting and do a buck and wing dance and have a glee club quartette sing 'Georgia, Georgia, Over All', but you see how impossible it would be to give it local U.S.A. color. Dr. Robertson suggested that one side be chosen from the subscribers to 'Consolidacion Nacional' while the other be selected from the Vanguardia readers and arm both parties with stuffed clubs and let the tocsin ring and the people would get their money's worth, but this does not appeal to me. I want to have harmony. Dr. Cox has some of the clearest views, but I am sorry I cannot incorporate them into the show. He wants the dialogues written in the ancient Polynesian-Indico-Ibernica language which, according to undisputed authorities, might have been spoken here 1635 years ago or more correctly 280 A.D. He contends, and I think with force of reason, that all the private colleges would come and it would be a feast of reason as well as a flow of soul. But I think the general public wants something stirring so we have all collaborated and have produced this last word in dramatic art.\"\n\n\"I must express my admiration of the beautiful scenery and large conception, Mr. Mills.\"\n\n\"Oh, that was done by our esteemed and talented Sr. José Viñas of the Spanish Opera Co. He also has taken great pains to coach me in acting all the leading parts. You see, I stand ready to fill any part. It may be that one of the actors wants to go to a ball on a certain night, and if that happens you will find me right there with the goods and take his part without a hitch. Oh, it is not only in this great drama that I have become proficient, but I have made it a duty to be an understudy for every attraction in the Hubbub. I state it modestly that I am prepared to take Mme. Garcia's place in the bell-defying plunge through space in the dinky automobile. I have also given lots of attention running the Old Dutch Windmill. Boss La Pointe has volunteered to be understudy for Wa-wa, the Borneo missing link. I had some difficulty in successfully learning the parts in the Chinese playhouse. Of course, you know I would only be called on to play the leading parts because the minor parts can be filled by others and if they bungle it won't be so noticeable. These Chinese dramas continue on for two weeks and unless one gets thoroughly into the spirit of the play he cannot do it justice, but I may not be called on to act. I shudder to think of how I would correctly act the part of the Samar twins. It has been suggested that if they are indisposed and cannot show that act be suspended and I have about decided that this is the best solution because it would never do to only act half of the twins or in any other way do less than perfection.\"\n\n\"Mr. Dean, then nothing has been left to chance. You are bound to make it a success. What other features do you emphasize?\"\n\n\"There are the three parades. I have given them personal attention. I wanted Major Hartigan to take complete charge but he begged off. He said he wished to be foot loose and frisk about and have some fun with the boys. I have got a lot of real startling effects for the parades. The Japanese have taken a hold in great style as have the Chinese and when the boy scouts are masqueraded and their identity is hidden they will 'cut up dog' for fare-ye-well. Oh, it is all doped out and is going to be a hummer. Of course, the balls each night are a specialty by themselves. I shall naturally have to shape their course and destiny and now that the constabulary band is not here I will have to give special attention to the music. I have thought some of having a snare drum in the orchestra to keep up the spirit of the Escuela de Baile. Opinion is divided. There are those who declare they cannot dance without the drum while others want variety and have the drum cut out. I have been giving several hours a day with the brass bands putting life and ginger into them. Their technique is fairly good and if I get their morale improved I will have gained much.\"\n\n\"Mr. Dean, I really had no idea of the vast amount of work you have done. How did you ever dare to undertake it?\"\n\n\"Well, as one becomes accustomed to responsibilities one gets to carrying a few more on an ever-increasing ratio until the whole frame becomes a machine to do more and there is then no longer any limit to what the will power can force the unwilling body to do, but as each day sees its task well done there is the compensating reward of a contented mind. And now if you will please excuse me I see a duty before me. I have daily taken the young ladies who sell the chocolates on an imaginary round to accustom them to the routine and I see they are waiting for me as usual and the most possible must be made of the few days to insure thoroughness in every detail.\"\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### One On Cooper\n\nOle Olsen, the descendant of Eric the Red, the Viking king that beat Columbus to America by a century or two, now and then between times when he is shipping cigars to the States by the million or so, indulges in a little visit to the house of a friend out near the new reservoir. Ole went there last Sunday and spent some little time in looking over his friend's garden patch. Ole is some farmer himself. He says that when he was living back in Norway on the side of an iceberg, he often used to see pictures of trees and flowers and grain growing in the green fields and he thought that if he could ever get some place where winter did not last eleven months and a half every year he would turn farmer. Ole has a nice little garden around his place near the gas-house and quite frequently he attires himself in some old clothes that he had especially imported from the States to do the part right in, and ambles forth among the cabbage patches and the cucumber vines to fool the birds. Ole is the original thing in scarecrows when he gets properly togged out in his farmer costume. Well, to get back where we started. Ole was looking his friend's place over when he noticed that the pump would not work. Immediately he called his host's attention to the fact and suggested that he buy one of Henry Cooper's hot air pumps. His friend replied that Cooper was a pretty regular caller and thought that there was no necessity for buying a pump as Cooper's conversation could be used and this would cost nothing.\n\n### The breeze has been blowing some cooler Plaza Moraga this week.\n\n### Clever\n\nThat story printed in one of the daily papers about the possibility of the Igorot Scouts not being permitted to take part in the military parade because of their lack of pants, was certainly a clever piece of publicity. All over town people were talking about it and some of the rumors were that Major-General Barry had delivered an ultimatum that if the scouts from the hill country could not parade then there would be no parade of any of his troops. Quite a little excitement was stirred up about the matter. The carnival publicity man deserves a medal for putting that one over.\n\n### Paper Suppressed\n\nDublin, Ireland, Dec. 3. - The newspaper Sinn Fein did not appear today. The publishers of this journal refused to print in consequence of having been warned by the authorities that they would be liable to prosecutions for the publication of treasonable matter.\n\nThis is the second step in the suppression of Irish publications which have been opposing enlistment and expressing pro-German sentiments. The police last night raided the office of the Irish Freedom, a monthly publication, and confiscated all copies of the paper offered for sale on the news stands.\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\n### Manila Ethics\n\nCommissioner Dennison has decreed that a municipal doctor, paid by public funds, can refuse to attend any call for his services even in critical cases, if it is contrary to his established code of professional ethics.\n\nFor the benefit of those who have not seen the account of the case in question we will briefly state the main facts. An infant child of Capt. Hill of the Cavite naval ferry was taken with severe convulsions during the Captain's absence. Several women who live near went to the assistance of Mrs. Hill, and one was sent out to summon a doctor. This woman saw Dr. Catalino Nicolas, municipal doctor of Cavite, sitting in the drug store smoking and talking, and she rushed to him. She stated to him that Hill's baby was very sick and asked him to come at once. This doctor, paid out of public funds presumably to attend urgent cases, refused and stated as they had Dr. Victoriano before let them get him again and he would not go. Thanks to a merciful Providence the child did not die and this cold-blooded doctor did not have the joy of telling everybody in Cavite what an awful mistake it is to ever hire the other doctor because the other doctor turned up just in time and saved the child's life.\n\nThe public of Cavite asked Capt. Hill to report this matter because if this is the kind of spite that is worked out on a paying patient, what hope is there to get this doctor to visit a poor patient in time of need?\n\nThe accused doctor simply smiled when the charges were made. He knew that the influence that put him in office would keep him there. In answer to the charges he said he \"understood\" that he was merely wanted for consultation and that he did not want to look after somebody else's patients. His superior, Com. Dennison, figuratively speaking, patted him on the back and intimated to him that when an urgent call comes and he does not wish to violate professional ethics all he needs to do is to telephone the undertaker and coroner to go to a certain house and his ethical duties as municipal doctor will be quite fully and satisfactorily discharged.\n\nOh! for one hour of stern Worcester, whose shadow falling on Dennison would make that pigmy look like a man.\n\n### From Another Angle\n\nThe \"Free Press\" publishes the following just appreciation of agricultural specialist Prautch, but seems to err in thinking that Prautch has been the chief sufferer in not being paid a salary. We desire to interject this idea. The people have been deprived of more than Mr. Prautch has; they have lost possible crops and prosperity.\n\nWe fully concur with the \"Free Press\" as far as it goes and print the editorial to give it wider publicity:\n\n#### Prautch Redivivus\n\n\"A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country. For ten years past a man by the name of Prautch has been dinning into our ears that in spite of the sad fate of Lipa, coffee can be grown in the Philippines and on a large scale with every assurance of success. Now a Mr. Strauss, a practical planter from Java, confirms what Mr. Prautch has been saying. The trouble with Mr. P. is that he was not born in Kansas and can't qualify as a \"boy expert.\" It is not so very long ago that 19,000 was paid Professor Waters from Kansas, who never saw the tropics till he came to the Philippines, to come over and tell us all about the land we live in. It was the old story of what was new was not good and what was good was not new, among the \"new\" being a fairy tale to the effect that locusts take a trip down from the hills once every ten years. And that is just about the length of time that Mr. Prautch has been \"doing his voice-in-the-wilderness stunt.\" But he never got any twelve thousand pesos. No, he is just a prophet, not a professor, and he doesn't hail from Kansas.\"\n\n# Page Five\n\n## Answers To Correspondents\n\n| Name | Response |\n| --- | --- |\n| Burdett | The mistake you made was very natural.

The argument in my minute of the 10th August might perhaps be put more clearly thus :-\n\n(a) The courts in England will accept as conclusive a definite statement from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the question of the status of a foreign government; e.g., whether the Sultan of Johore is an independent sovereign, or whether His Majesty's Government recognises the existence of Finland as a sovereign state.\n\n(b) The courts here would probably accept as conclusive a definite certificate from the Governor on a similar point.\n\n(c) Where the status of the foreign government is not clear and definite and recognition by His Majesty's Government is only provisional or partial, the Secretary of State will refuse to make a bald, definite, statement, but will place the courts in the possession of the diplomatic facts and leave the court to draw its own conclusions, as in the case of Athonia in The Gagara (1919) P.95 and Russia in Luther v. Sagor (1921) 3 K.B. 532.\n\n(d) The present case is not a case of the status of a foreign government or of the recognition of an international person.

Amongst other provisions the following appears: - Section 2. No labourer hereafter arriving in Western Samoa shall hereafter be under any circumstances criminally punishable by fine, imprisonment or otherwise for any breach of a contract of service.\n\nThe statement of the terms which is attached states that the engagement is for a term of 3 years at the end of which the labourer will be repatriated, but after consideration a labourer may engage for a further period of 3 years. As regards an extension of the period of the service to 4 years, the O.A.G. of Hong Kong states that 3 years is the usual term for contracts in the South Seas and is longer than the term for the East Indies, the distinction being due to the greater expense of conveying emigrants to the South Sea Islands and to the fact that most Administrations in these islands do not encourage free settlement of Chinese and are therefore liable to incur heavy expenditure on account of labourers repatriated at the end of their term.\n\nThe O.A.G. sees no objection to the extension of the term to 4 years, except that the labourer will be prejudiced in so far as his opportunity of making a better bargain with his employer as a condition of renewing his agreement will be deferred for the extra year, and from the point of view of the Hong Kong Government.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523650, "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": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "page_number": 4, "title": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "content_text": "4\n\nGovernment any such extension of the term would no doubt be quoted as a precedent for similar action in the case of other Pacific Islands which are allowed to recruit Chinese labour in Hong Kong.\n\nNauru, Ocean Island, and Makatea).\n\nAs regards the insertion of the proposed new clause in the contracts to be signed by emigrants on arrival in Western Samoa, the O.A.G. of Hong Kong recognises that to some extent a point of principle is involved. His enquiries elicited the rather disturbing fact that the insertion of the proposed clause was intended to regularise a practice which had already been in force for some time, (although not appearing as one of the terms of agreement on the basis of which recruitment of Chinese labour in Hong Kong for Western Samoa had been authorised by the O.A.G. and the Secretary of State).\n\nIn order not to conflict with the provision in the Samoa Free Labour Ordinance which prohibits punishment by fine for a breach of contract of service, the method of recovery of the 9d a day is not by way of fine but by deduction from future wages and recovery is not enforceable by imprisonment. The Western Samoa Administration declare it to be essential to maintain this mild deterrent against a tendency towards unreasonable absence from work. The O.A.G. explains that in Samoa the pay of casual labour is often high and the temptation to malinger may be great, while particularly on cocoa plantations the temporary absence of his workmen may at times cause\n\nan", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523651, "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": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "page_number": 5, "title": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "content_text": "5\n\n: \n\n62794/19/408/\n\nB\n\nan employer very serious loss.\n\nThe \"overhead charges\" are defined by the Western Samoa Administration as a portion of the cost of recruitment and repatriation.\n\nIn the case of Sarawak, the Secretary of State decided to turn down a proposal to insert in the terms of the agreement for service in the case of labourers emigrating to that territory, that each man should be required to acknowledge a debt of $48 to the Company, to be repaid by instalments in respect of the cost of his passage but that there is a material distinction in the Western Samoa proposal which may be summed up as concerning not the terms of the contract but the terms of a breach of the contract.\n\nIn the form recommended by the Western Samoa Administration I cannot see that any exception should be taken to the insertion of the proposed clause, but on the question of the extension of the minimum term from 3 to 4 years, I am more doubtful.

After some correspondence, the Governor of Hong Kong was informed in 1920 that he might permit recruitment of such labour in Hong Kong, subject to the observance of the local law as to Chinese passengers, which presumably meant that labourers must be technically free, that is, not have signed any contract when they left Hong Kong.\n\nThe correspondence is printed in Command 919. Although Chinese labour was wanted in Samoa, Chinese settlers were not, and in 1921 a request from the Chinese Government that labourers whose contracts had expired might be allowed to remain was refused. They could enter into a second indenture for three years, making six years in all, but beyond that the New Zealand authorities would not allow them to stay. (See 18155/21 and 39318/21)\n\nIn 1923, new terms and conditions for Agreements for Chinese labour were brought into force (See 44670/23 and 11713/24). The previous system had apparently been an ordinary indentured system. Under the new one, it was stated that all indentured labourers would become free labourers, but I am not sure that this is strictly true.\n\nThe general effect of the system, which, so far as we know, still remains in force, is that", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523659, "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": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "page_number": 15, "title": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "content_text": "the labourer enters Western Samoa under an \n\nobligation to work, although not for any \n\nparticular employer. \n\nVery wide discretionary powers are given to the Commissioner \n\nto see that the labourers carry out their \n\nobligations and in the allotment of them to employers. The system might always be \n\nrepresented as indenture to the Government \n\nwhich then divides the labourers up among \n\nemployers, but a great deal rests on the \n\nCommissioner. In fact, the absence of \n\ncomplaints suggests that he has used his \n\npowers well, and the system seems to work \n\nsatisfactorily. \n\nIn 1924, the Chinese authorities in \n\nCanton attempted to maintain that the \n\nrecruitment of Chinese labour for Western \n\nSamoa in or via Hong Kong, was illegal. \n\nThe suggestion was resisted and appears to \n\nhave been dropped by the Chinese.

Clause 5 of the conditions of employment states \"No labourer arriving in Western Samoa shall be punished by fine or imprisonment for any breach of service\" and this is in accordance with the provisions of the Samoa Free Labour Ordinance.\n\n3. It appears that the insertion of this additional clause in the labourers' agreement is intended to regularize a practice which has been in force for some time. It seems clear also that some such deterrent is desirable if the Government and the employer are not to suffer unnecessary loss should the labourer without good reason absent himself from work. I understand that in Samoa where the pay of casual labour is often high the temptation to 'malinger may be great, while, particularly on cocoa plantations, the temporary absence of his workmen may at times cause an employer very serious loss.\n\nThere is no reason either to suppose that the provision will inflict any undue hardship on the labourers or that the words \"of their own fault\" and \"without valid reason\" will be interpreted other than fairly.\n\n4. In the circumstances therefore I see no serious objection to the inclusion in the agreement of the clause as it stands. But in view of the fact that a question of principle is involved I submit the matter for Your Lordship's instructions.\n\nI have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant, W.D.

This is the usual term for contracts in the South Seas. In the East Indies the labourer engages to work for his employer for a period of 300 to 360 working days before he can claim repatriation; but, owing to the greater expense of conveying emigrants to the South Sea Islands and to the fact that most administrations there do not encourage free settlement by Chinese and are therefore liable to incur heavy expenditure on account of men repatriated at the end of their term, the longer\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nLORD PASSFIELD,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.,\n\n&c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523680, "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": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "page_number": 36, "title": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "content_text": "38\n\nA longer period has been agreed to in such cases. Assisted emigrants are recruited in Hong Kong for Nauru, Ocean Island, and Makatea as well as Western Samoa on this condition.\n\n3. In no instance, however, has the period of engagement exceeded three years, although in Samoa and elsewhere the labourer may be permitted to re-engage himself for a further period of three years.\n\n4. There is no reason to suppose that emigrants could not be secured who would be perfectly willing to engage themselves for a period of four years, as the pay and conditions offered by the Samoa administration compare very favourably with those in many other places. It is realised also that, making allowance for time spent on the voyage and for a period of acclimatization, the cost of this labour to employers is apt to be unduly high. At the same time, the extension of the term of his agreement will prejudice the labourer in so far as he will be debarred for a period of one year from the opportunity of making a better bargain with his employer as a condition of the renewal of his agreement.\n\n5. Labourers recruited for Samoa are attracted by the conditions, and it would appear that the wages paid enable them to maintain a standard at least as high as they could have expected to maintain in China; and no complaints have been received from Samoa or from repatriated emigrants. Four years does not in all the circumstances seem excessive, an important point being that the labourers in Samoa remain under British control; and I recommend that the concession sought should be granted. Any such concession will, of course, be quoted as a precedent for an extension of the period of engagement to work in other Pacific islands; and it", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523681, "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": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "page_number": 37, "title": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "content_text": "3.\n\nA\n\n39\n\nit is with a full appreciation of the difficulty of refusing\n\nto recognize the precedent that I make my recommendation.\n\n6.\n\nA copy of this despatch has been forwarded\n\nto His Excellency the Governor-General of New Zealand.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient,\n\nhumble servant,\n\nGovernor, &c.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 523682, "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": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "page_number": 38, "title": "CO129-522-9 Chinese labour in Western Samoa 22-10-1929 - 19-1-1931", "content_text": "Sir,\n\nWELLINGTON,\n\n22nd October, 1929.\n\n40 END\n\nI have the honour to inform you, on the advice of my Ministers, that the Administration of Western Samoa are anxious to arrange, if possible, for an extension of the period of service of Chinese labourers in the Territory from three years to four years.\n\n2.\n\nAs the Hong Kong Government are aware, these coolies are free labourers and not indentured, they are entitled if they wish to be returned to Hong Kong on the expiration of a period (at present) of three years, and no coolie is allowed to remain for more than two such periods.

Sir Miles Lampson is, however, uneasy about the suggestion that it is usual for the recruiters who go to China to persuade far more Chinese to come to Hong Kong than have any chance of being actually engaged. It is probably true that this is the practice as the recruiting Company must have some reserve to cover the would-be emigrants who decline engagement at the last minute or who are found unfit.\n\nIf the statements of the Hong Kong authorities are correct, it does not seem to be a great hardship on the men as they are kept in Hong Kong and their only expense is their fare to the Colony and even that is sometimes paid for them. In any case, it is difficult to see how Hong Kong could prevent this. If labourers in China are persuaded that there are good chances of employment being obtained in Hong Kong, it would be very hard for the Hong Kong Govt. to prevent their coming to the Colony.

Lieb, Livingston and Company of Hongkong.\n\nIn making their complaint against the firm in question the Chinese authorities have, I observe, invoked the Migration Convention of 1924, which, in my opinion, is inapplicable in this instance for the following reason.\n\nIf it had been the intention of the parties to the Convention that it should govern all recruiting in China of Chinese labourers for service in British possessions, it would be difficult to defend its exclusion by the adoption of Macau, where labour is in China and sent to Hongkong to be recruited and shipped there. I consider that the Convention must be read as confined to \"indentured emigrants\", not only because that expression is used in Article 1 of the Convention but also because the Convention contains somewhat detailed provisions (Articles 2, 4, 7 and 8) as to the provisions which the indenture is to contain, and the steps to be taken to ensure that the migrants are really acquainted with the nature of the contract into which they are entering. I do not think, therefore, that it is possible to regard the Convention as applicable.\n\nSir Miles Lampson, K.C.M.G., C.B.,\n\n...\n\n \nhas been replaced with the correct closing as it was not provided in the original text.

It does not appear to be disputed that in this particular case there are no contracts at all and if this is the case, it is not necessary, in my opinion, to pursue the point raised in 1928 (see His Majesty's Consul General at Canton's despatch No.39 of June 11th, 1925, a copy of which was enclosed in Mr. Alairac's despatch No.441 of June 27th 1925) as to whether pre advances amounted to a form of indentured labour.\n\n5.

The facts of the case appear to be briefly as follows.\n\nMessrs: Gibb, Livingston and Company engage from time to time in the business of recruiting consignments of Chinese labourers for Samoa. Their Chinese recruiters visit Kuangtung and collect Chinese coolies who are induced to go to Hongkong where they are taken charge of by a Chinese boarding house pending examination and selection of those fit for export to Samoa.

The Chinese Authorities proceed to claim the right to control the recruiting of this labour in accordance with the terms of the Emigration Convention of 1904. To these representations His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong replies (to Mr. Phillips) that the Convention of 1904 is inapplicable because it refers only to the recruitment of indentured labourers and not to ... been unable to obtain assisted emigrants and that he has ... confirmation of the allegations against the Chinese boarding house, Mr. Phillips requests my instructions as to whether he should transmit this reply to the Chinese Authorities as he entertains misgivings as to the correctness of the attitude of the Hongkong Government in the matter.\n\n3.\n\nWith a view to clarifying the issues involved in this somewhat complicated case I submit the following explanation of the attendant circumstances of the case, as I understand them. To begin with an indentured labourer is one who leaves China under a contract to serve for a specified time under specified conditions in a foreign land. A free labourer (such as the ordinary Chinese emigrant to Malaya) is one who leaves China unbound by any contract to find work abroad.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-536-2 Recruitment of Chinese labourers for Samoa 26-5-1931 - 29-1-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 531996, "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": "CO129-536-2 Recruitment of Chinese labourers for Samoa 26-5-1931 - 29-1-1932", "page_number": 32, "title": "CO129-536-2 Recruitment of Chinese labourers for Samoa 26-5-1931 - 29-1-1932", "content_text": ":C\n\n31\n\n3.\n\nAn assisted emigrant (from Hongkong) is one who signs no contract but receives advances to cover the cost of the journey. We have two Treaty engagements with the Chinese Government on the subject of emigration; the Convention of 1860 which provides that Chinese shall be free to enter into arrangements with British subjects to emigrate; and the Convention of 1904 which was concluded for the specific purpose of sending Chinese labour to South Africa.\n\nIt seems that in the present case the labourers are not indentured but assisted emigrants; that they sign no contracts, and that the Convention of 1904 is therefore inapplicable.\n\n5.\n\nIf this is so, the matter resolves itself into the question of whether or not the Chinese complaints against the methods of recruitment in China and the arrangements made by the Chinese recruiters and the boarding house in Hongkong can properly be dismissed in the manner proposed by Hongkong. This is of course primarily a matter of domestic concern to the Government of Hongkong; and the whole business may well be an attempt by the Chinese Authorities (similar to other attempts made in the past) to squeeze money out of this particular recruiting enterprise. At the same time a perusal of the papers leaves some doubt in my mind as to whether the complaints are entirely groundless. It would seem that some means might well be found for ensuring that only those coolies proceed to Hongkong who are reasonably sure of being exported to Samoa, or at least for safeguarding the rejected against financial loss.

As to the expenses of board and lodging while in the boarding house, the rejected does not pay a cent.

For each man who ultimately sails $17 is payable by Leung Hop to the \"Hak Tau\"; but from these sums of $17 Leung Hop deducts the expenses of all the \"Hak Tau's\" men (whether rejected or passed) while in the Boarding House, plus the fares of those who are sent back to the country. 40 cents a day is the charge for board and lodging in the Hop Kei Boarding House. The Boarding House only takes in men who are brought in to it by a \"Hak Tau\". Everyone who enters the Boarding House is entered in the register and is photographed. In 1930, 768 candidates in the Boarding House were photographed. Of these, 282 were passed by the doctor, but only 251 eventually sailed to Sanca.

Mr. Barker added that in some cases men will not leave their village unless their friends come too, and even though these friends do not look physically likely to be accepted, yet the \"Hak Tau\" brings them all down.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-536-2 Recruitment of Chinese labourers for Samoa 26-5-1931 - 29-1-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 532008, "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": "CO129-536-2 Recruitment of Chinese labourers for Samoa 26-5-1931 - 29-1-1932", "page_number": 44, "title": "CO129-536-2 Recruitment of Chinese labourers for Samoa 26-5-1931 - 29-1-1932", "content_text": "43 END.\n\nThis system has been going on since 1918. Many men have gone to Samoa and returned home and are anxious to go again or to become recruiters. Leung Fo himself was in Samoa and is now in permanent employment in the Taikoo Docks. He does not rely on this recruiting for his livelihood, as it only happens at long intervals; and he does not make a very substantial profit.\n\nLet us take 15 men as a sample batch of \"Hak Tau\". On the 1950 proportion, 10 of these would be rejected and 5 would be passed. The 10 rejected would in any case stay in the boarding house for, say, 4 days at 40 cents a day each total $16. 10 fares back to the country at say $8 total $80. 5 men in the boarding house for say 10 days at 40 cents total $20. Grand total $56.\n\nNow for the 5 accepted men, $17 a head is credited to the \"Hak Tau\". Total $85 from which must be deducted the above $56. The \"Hak Tau's\" profit is $29 which certainly seems pretty small.\n\nAs to the allegation in the letter dated 18th April, 1931, from the Canton Municipal Government to His Majesty's Consul-General, Canton, that the candidates are required to pay up money, this is absolutely untrue. They do not pay a cent.\n\n(Sd) A. E. Wood,\n\np.p.

One of these is an appeal for a \"New Broadcasting Station\" and invites the public to listen to it between 11.30 and 12.30 a.m, and 6 and 7 p.m. every day. It claims to be the \"voice of the people and the voice of democracy\", and requests its listeners to contribute material for broadcasting through the SIN HUA News Agency. It also asserts that it has received letters of criticism from KUMINTANG which were greatly appreciated. The other poster sets out the text of two telegrams: the first being from General FOO CHO YI to the Communist leader MAO TZE TUNG on October 25th, and the second the SIN HUA News Agency's refutation and reply on behalf of MAO TZE TUNG on a date not stated. The subject-matter of the two telegrams is the responsibility for starting the civil war in CHINA, and the second telegram concludes with the words \"Let us warn FOO CHO YI and all his conspirators by saying that the Chinese people are determined to safeguard peace. They cannot afford to see civil war again. Now the liberated areas of North and Central China are open to attacks by KUOMINTANG troops amounting to more than 800,000. Of all the attacking forces, FOO's is just one\".\n\n(vii)\n\nThe following report has been received:\n\nIt is understood that one of the hide-outs of the Red guerillas in HONG KONG is situated at 137 Temple Street (3rd floor). They operate under the name of \"Seamen's Welfare Office\".\n\nThe Director, Special Branch of the Civil Police is investigating.\n\n(4)\n\nCOLLABORATORS\n\nThe total of persons arrested as suspected collaborators has now reached 35. 22 of these are Chinese and 13 are Indians, one being an ex-British soldier, one Jamaican, one Russian, one Swiss, one Eurasian and one Portuguese.\n\nThe rest of a further 23 persons have been released.\n\n(5) AIR INTELLIGENCE.\n\n(i) A destroyer was despatched from HONG KONG to bring back the crew and passengers of the Sunderland which force-landed at SAMAR in HAI TAU Island, as reported in Weekly Intelligence Summary No. 7. An explanation for the action of the Chinese in detaining the passengers and placing them under armed guard has been demanded; meanwhile, their release has been authorised by CHUNGKING, and the Sunderland arrived HONG KONG p.m. November 13th.\n\n(ii) During the week more than 120 passengers arrived by air at KAI-TAK airfield, including Gen. GARDNER en route for CHUNGKING. A total of 158 repatriates and other passengers left the Colony in Dakotas and Sunderlands during the same period.\n\n(iii) Information concerning the organisation and chain of command of the Chinese Air Force is at present very difficult to obtain, but it is known that the aircraft in use are out-of-date American models of the VULTEE class. It is reported that American enthusiasm for the advancement of the Chinese Air Force has recently cooled off considerably. 80-octane aviation spirit only is being supplied now as against 100-octane petrol previously; furthermore, there have been no further aircraft handed over by the Americans to the Chinese, owing to the habit of Chinese pilots of crashing them on their first flights.
