About 11.\n\nWho heard it? Robert Smith had nothing to state.\n\nStatement of John Beattle.\n\nI was on watch from 9 till 10. I went into the cabin at 10.15 to see what time it was and to call the other man to relieve me.\n\nInstead of calling the other man, I went on the top-gallant fore-yard and fell asleep. I heard Castle and a noise of marines and found a lot on deck and a blue jacket had fallen from the main top.\n\nI heard a noise in the cabin, I went aft, and heard the lieutenant singing \"Rule Britannia\" or \"For God and our King\". I saw the mate standing at the cabin table. I asked him what was the matter, he said he did not know.\n\nI went into the Captain's state room. The Captain was sitting on the edge of the bed bleeding from the head. I helped him on to his chair and got a bucket of water and poured it on his head. The doctor was then on board.\n\nPage 534\n\n(To be continued)\n\nGR1178/1922/32(III)\n\n \n Runs 7 | 76-II & S 1846-",

        "content_text": "2\n\nFrom this revision of tariff, coupled with the scheme for building a fixed bridge over the Yalu River at Antung connecting the railway systems on the Corean and Chinese sides, it becomes increasingly clear that the Japanese intend to leave no stone unturned in their effort to obtain the control of the trade of this region.\n\nI have up to the present heard no further definite news regarding the latter project additional to that contained in my despatch No. 1 of the 4th December, 1907, but that plans for the construction are maturing is evident from the fact that measurements of the water-level are being taken by theodolite along the line of the proposed bridge across the ice to assist in calculations as to the necessary altitude.\n\nThe line from Hsin Wiju to Seoul is broad gauge, and the powerful American Baldwin engines are capable of drawing heavy trains of freight trucks; and though at the present time the influx of goods is not great, it is likely to increase under the new tariff.\n\nI have observed lately that considerable quantities of the \"Admiral Togo\" brand of flour from Seattle, United States of America, are being imported into Antung by the Corean Railway for local consumption.\n\nA copy of this despatch has been sent to His Majesty's Ambassador at Tôkiô.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) W.

SIR JOHN JORDAN having sent me a copy of his despatch to you No. 9 of the 5th ultimo, on the subject of Franco-Chinese negotiations for the repurchase of the Laokai-Yunnan-fu Railway, I have addressed to him in reply the despatch of which I have the honour to inclose a copy.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) W. H. WILKINSON.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\n(No. 9. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nConsul-General Wilkinson to Sir J. Jordan.\n\nYunnan-fu, February 6, 1908. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of your despatch No. 1, Confidential, of the 8th ultimo, inclosing copy of a despatch to His Majesty's Secretary of State on the subject of the Franco-Chinese negotiations for the repurchase of the Laokai-Yunnan-fu Railway.\n\nThe conditions demanded by France—previous completion of the line and guarantees for its efficient working by China after purchase—are such as I anticipated in my despatch No. 27 of the 12th July, 1906. The chief obstacle, however, will be the price. It is now fairly certain that the 5 millions sterling of my then estimate will be exceeded. Tonquin newspapers have even declared that the final cost will be found to approximate to 200 million francs; in any case it is most probable that the French Government will hold out, in case of sale, for 200 million francs, the equivalent at present rates of over 7 million taels is not correct, hence remain as 56 million taels.\n\nSome three or four weeks ago the unofficial Directors of the \"Yunnan-Szechuan and Tengyueh Railways Company\" held a series of meetings, extending over ten days, to consider the possibility of raising funds for repurchase of the line. The \"tuan-cheng\" (trainband captains) of the neighbouring villages were invited to attend, in order to keep up the farce wherein this handful of literati poses as the \"Delegates of all Yünnan.\" In the event, the Directors were forced to the conclusion that it would be quite impossible to procure the necessary sum.\n\nMeanwhile it had got about that the Governor-General intends to oblige the unhappy Yünnanese to contribute not only towards the building of the Yunnan-Szechuan and Tengyueh lines, but also towards the repurchase of the French railway. One old man came to see me, on the 22nd January, with a sort of Petition to the effect that—\n\n\"The gentry and others at a meeting at the Railway Office talked of buying back the French railway, the proposal being to form a joint-stock Company and force folk to subscribe. When the French Bishop heard of it he said that, what with drought and flood, the people's misfortunes have been such that he was surprised that any one could have the heart to make men subscribe. Still, if they insisted, then he was prepared to advance the money for those unable to comply. This was with a view to gain souls. We observe that the spirit of your honourable country (Great Britain) is one of virtue; still to buy back this line would be impossible without your honourable country's strength. The line would be ostensibly repurchased by Yunnan, but privily it would be your honourable country's.\"\n\nThe proposal is ludicrous and without authority, and I need not say that I have paid no attention to it. I quote it here as a straw that shows the direction of the wind of popular feeling in Yunnan.\n\n[2934 d-4]",

Hewett on the proposal put forward by the Harbour Master that all Native Seamen should be signed on, or off, ship's articles before the British Shipping Master and not before the Consul of the vessel, as heretofore.\n\nSo far as I can ascertain it is almost a universal custom for seamen to sign articles before the Consul representing the ship's flag and not before the port authorities. There are, so far as I can ascertain, only two exceptions to this in the East.\n\n| Company/Flag | Signing Authority |\n| --- | --- |\n| P. & O. S. N. Co. | British Consul at Northern Continental ports, Marseilles, Egypt, and Japanese Ports; no report is made to the local authorities. |\n| M. M. Cie. and all other French vessels | French Consul at all ports |\n| Nippon Yusen Kaisha | Japanese Consul for Japanese subjects; possibly British Shipping Master in England for \"foreigners\" |\n\nThe Manager of Nippon Yusen Kaisha believes that \"foreigners\" are signed on in England before the Port Authorities. The reason for this is likely that the crews of N. Y. K. vessels are usually Japanese, officered by British subjects. These latter would naturally prefer to sign articles before their own Shipping Master rather than before the Japanese Consul.\n\nThe French Consul informs me that in all foreign ports, all members of the crew are signed on before the French Consul, and that in all French Colonies and home ports, British Seamen sign before their own Consul. \n\nBritish vessels in the Philippines sign their men before the British Consul, and no report is made to the American Authorities. In Tacoma and Seattle, British seamen sign at the British Consulate, but an official from the American Shipping Office is present.\n\nThe two exceptions mentioned above are (1) the...",

The \nSeattle Authorities no doubt objected to a Chinese crew being \nsigned off there, as were this agreed to, the Chinese in \nquestion would be allowed to land, with their permission, thus \nobtaining an entry into the U.

If upset here, \nthe result will probably be that other nations will retaliate \nwhich will result, not only in considerable delay to vessels \n(as the Port Authorities in many cases will not be as accommodat-\ning and considerate as the Consul of the vessel) while it will \nalso probably result in a heavy increase in the fees paid by \nshipping.\n\nThe various Consulates make large sums of \nmoney annually by their fees. It is improbable that their \nrespective Governments will be willing to forego these fees, \nwith the result the ship owners will have to pay double fees.\n\n**(Bd.) E. A. Hewett**",

They stay in Manila some six months and then apply for a passport for the United States. The undersigned has often explained to them that a passport was not necessary for entering the United States, but they have always persisted in having a passport, under the idea, it appears, that such would assist them in entering the United States.\n\nThese Indians proceed to the United States via the \"Minnesota\" the Great Northern Railway Company, steamer, which runs between Seattle and Hongkong via Manila. The price of a steerage passage is sixty dollars gold (about £12). This steamer carries some 30 to 40 each trip (every three months).\n\nIt was not until about the middle of last year (1911) that they began to come over in May 1911 from Hongkong in such large numbers.

On enquiry, it appears, that the Commissioner for Immigration in Seattle has ruled last year that all Indians who have established a residence in the Philippine, have thereby a right to enter the United States on the grounds that the same immigration laws apply to the Philippines and the United States.\n\nThis fact explains the large number of Indians who come and remain in Manila only six months.\n\nThe undersigned believes and has been told by shipping agents that these Indians\n\nPage 361",

Co.'s Steamer \"Minnesota\", which was always chosen by Indians owing to her destination being Seattle instead of San Francisco, left Manila with some 200 Indians on board. It appears that, on arrival at Seattle, the influx of this large number of Asiatics aroused public attention, and a considerable outcry arose against their being allowed in.\n\nThe result was that the Customs instituted an extra strict investigation into the pecuniary and physical status of these men, and that eighty or so were refused admission as undesirables. The steamship Company was apparently held liable for their return to Hongkong or Manila, as they immediately cabled instructions to their agents here to refuse passage to all Indians in future.

Colonial Secretary,\n\nEnclosure 12\n\n228\n\nIn reply to Miss Parkinson's letter of the 19th October, I have to state that her application to be allowed to travel to Europe via Seattle was forwarded by me to you on the day following that on which I received it, and that I asked that the request should be granted.\n\nBefore I had received any reply to this from your office, Miss Parkinson wrote two letters, one on the 10th October and one on the 14th October. In these letters she pointed out that the Government grant should be £41, that she had not had any reply to her former letters, and she now asked that her passage should be changed to another route, viz. via San Francisco, by a different line of steamships.\n\nOn receipt of her letter of the 14th October I wrote at once to you informing you of the change of route and I enquired if this could be arranged.\n\nIn order to bring the matter to a settlement the Colonial Secretary's Office was communicated with by telephone, either on Saturday the 17th or on Monday the 19th October. The Accountant does not feel certain as to which day it was.\n\nAbout 11 a.m. on the forenoon of the 19th October the Assistant Colonial Secretary telephoned to me stating that the passage had been duly secured by the altered route, and the Government's contribution was £41.5s. This information I personally and on the instant gave to the Accountant and told him to telephone it to the Harbour Master, and I next wrote to Miss Parkinson informing her of what had been done in her behalf.\n\nPara. 3 of Miss Parkinson's letter. Miss Parkinson asked for the 17th, 18th, and 19th October to be given her as leave. I did not see the necessity for this and I did not grant it.\n\nOn the morning of the 19th October Miss Parkinson was on duty from 6 to 10 a.m.\n\nI submit that all of the matters which Miss Parkinson appears to have left to be attended to until the last day or two are such as are usually seen to much in advance of the last...",

Captain Olsen was in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle looking over the prospects for this line, but it seemed that owing to his finding little prospects of return cargoes from the last two named ports he decided to leave Portland and Seattle out of his present schedule and make the terminal port San Francisco. Captain Olsen appointed G. W. Lolear & Co. of San Francisco his agents for the Pacific Coast, and I understand that steamers are now plying at regular intervals between Norway and San Francisco pending the completion of motor vessels that are to be used on this run.\n\nI telegraphed Mr. Consul General Ross at San Francisco to ask whether he could find out through the agents whether there was any truth in the report of the proposed line to Japan, but he could give me no information on the subject. Mr. Consul Kelly at Seattle states that he can find no evidence as to the truth of this report, although it is asserted that one of Captain Olsen's steamers is expected.\n\nThe Right Hon.\n\nSir Cecil A.

        "content_text": "so earnest in its effort to purge the land of these men, when we remember the last report of the Social and Moral Reform League. In this report we are told that vice in British Columbia is protected by the Government, and reform measures opposed bitterly. Yet those who know the Hindus best testify to the fact that there is surprisingly little criminality among them.\n\n\"It is said that they will not assimilate. I have watched with wonder and delight the process of assimilation. Given fair conditions and they do adapt themselves rapidly. Their eagerness to learn, to fit into the new order, was to me surprising, as I watched them in California. After knowing such types in India, it was a surprise to watch especially the psychological process of assimilation. Few positive results mean much more than scores of negative results. If they are not assimilating, the un-Christian atmosphere in which they live must explain it.\n\n\"Never have I seen such opportunities of helping India as amongst her lonely sons on the Pacific coast. They were eager to learn, respectful and earnest. But times are changing, and the un-Christian attitude of our land is fixing a wide—may it not prove an impassable gulf—between Canada and India.\"\n\nThat racial prejudice and passion let loose on the coast in the summer of 1914 was altogether overdone is the opinion of competent people. They say there is already a reaction. A well-known Canadian in the course of a recent letter to the writer says, \"I am quite free to inform you that in my opinion the treatment of the East Indians in the province of British Columbia has not been of the best, and the Federal authorities without question in my mind have never understood the situation nor have they tried to understand the people themselves. This is to be accounted for from the fact that the officials who were in the various departments of the Government are in my opinion (and I say without any hesitation) incompetent, and also have made no effort to understand the people but have assumed a good many things to be true that are not true.\" How far the incompetency enters into the case the writer is not prepared to state, but he leaves it for the readers to decide the matter. He lays before the public this opinion for what it is worth.\n\nAnother friend from Vancouver writes especially regarding the Komagata Maru: \"I feel that the effect of the inhuman treatment that was accorded to the Hindus by the Canadian authorities is going to have a far-reaching effect. The Singapore incidents and the other troubles in India are, I believe, the direct outcome of the unfortunate episode. I am of the opinion that the Sikhs came to Vancouver really believing that the doors of Canada were wide open for their entry, after the decision of the Chief Justice in the Narain Singh case....\n\nI blame Mr. H. H. Stevens for all this unfortunate episode. Nothing could exceed the tenacity with which he fought the affair.\" (Mr. Stevens, our readers will remember, is the M.P. for Vancouver in the Dominion House of Commons.)\n\nI may here state the great ability of the Sikhs in adapting themselves to the conditions in Canada which were new to them. How, not knowing the language, they started night schools for learning English. Many have gone back to India and have been zealous in providing education for the boys and girls in the villages by starting schools. In one notable case, they have sent more than $15,000.00 and started an excellent high school in the Punjab. The writer knows the case of a young Hindu, eighteen years of age, who by his pluck and industry is supporting himself and acquiring English in a high school and thus fitting himself for better service.\n\nNot only have the Sikhs in Canada helped in starting schools for their children, knowing full well the difficulties they had to contend with on account of their not having the opportunity, but they have also helped in giving to the villagers and stay-at-homes in India some idea of the great Western world. As a matter of fact, the returned emigrants have, except in rare instances, shown genuine desire for reform and thus served as vehicles for carrying Western civilization to these out-of-the-way and remote villages. Some have taken with them to India agricultural machinery and implements and are thus fitting themselves to be better farmers.\n\nIn 1908, when there was financial stringency, they started a colonization company on a co-operative plan. With that end in view, two hundred acres were bought near Vancouver where the Sikhs out of employment could get work, but of late years things have improved and they have had all the work they wanted.\n\nMany of them have bought land and put up houses here. Their holdings in land, houses, livestock (as many of them have quite a few dairy cattle), horses, and wagons, etc., amount to at least two million dollars. I have heard white grocers and others say that they would trust a Sikh and continue doing business with him, as over and over again it has happened that after being in debt for one or two years, he will come and pay his debts to the grocer and storekeeper.\n\nThere are no paupers amongst the Sikhs, as their system of practical self-help insures that those who have been unfortunate in being out of work, or on account of some accident, are duly cared for by the well-to-do members of the community. They have put up considerable sums to help the weaker brethren in divers ways. And this reminds me of the case of nearly ninety Hindus who were held up by the authorities at the port of Seattle, Wash., and ordered to be deported until each of them put up a security of $500 cash. To show the Hindus' self-help, their friends in British Columbia, with great generosity characteristic of them, supplied the forthcoming money to the tune of nearly $50,000 and had these men released on bail in the fall of 1913.\n\nIn addition to this, the Sikhs have built temples in Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, and Abbotsford, all in B.C. The one at Victoria cost over $10,000.00. These are open to the public.\n\nHere are the opinions of various employers of labor. The Michigan Puget Sound Lumber Co., Ltd., of Victoria say: \"This is to certify that we have employed a large number of Hindus in our mill for the last few years. We find them hardworking, reliable, and steadfast at their work. They have made good in Canada. They are strong workmen and we can strongly recommend them to others requiring steady laborers.\"\n\nA farmer who has experience of all kinds of labor in Canada says: \"These two men are Sikhs, and there are no better, more conscientious men on the place. They get along well with other men and are continually racing between themselves to see which can do the more work. Any man good enough to fight for the Empire is good enough to work for me.\"\n\nMessrs. Moore & Pethick, Engineers and Contractors, of Victoria, write: \"We beg to state that we are large employers of Hindu labor in connection with our railroad construction, and at present have about one hundred and fifty of them working for us at Union Bay, and some forty to fifty at Osborne Bay. We wish to express our high appreciation of them in our work. They are infinitely superior to ordinary pick and shovel 'white' labor.\"\n\nThe Columbia River Lumber Company, Ltd., of Golden, B.C., state: \"This is to certify that for the past two and a half years we have had in our employ in our sawmills and lumber yards about one hundred Sikhs and Hindus. We are pleased to say that with a very few exceptions, those men gave us very good satisfaction. We have found them to be good, steady workers, attentive to their work, quite intelligent, and quick to learn, and we are pleased to say that the great majority are men of sober habits and good character.\"\n\nColonel Davidson of Davidson & Macrae, one of the biggest employers of Hindu labor on the Pacific Coast, says that the Sikhs are the most efficient men he has. He has had in his firm sometimes as many as 500 or 600 Sikhs working. Surely he ought to know. When they came, they were unskilled; now they are getting responsible positions. Every time the Colonel goes and inspects them, he finds their sheds clean and tidy, and the Sikhs themselves look far better physically since coming to Canada. Surely, if their friends can stand the climate in the trenches of France and Flanders, they can stand the climate here. Moreover, the people here forget that the Punjab, whence the Sikhs come, is quite cold in winter. I have seen Sikhs working at Rogers' Pass, B.C., where there is sometimes as much as 26 feet of snow, and feeling none the worse for it.\n\nAnother friend from the United States writes: \"For a number of months, I have been visiting most of the Hindu camps in Southern California, and I must confess that as a class of laborers, they have no peer in the labor market. There is only one opinion expressed by the Americans who have employed them, and that is: 'The Hindus are good workmen—superior to any class of laborers that I have ever employed.' I have seen them at their heavy tasks of clearing orange land from rocks and rubbish of every sort, and I can testify that they are most faithful to their employers.\"\n\nDr. E. H. Lawson, M.D., says:\n\n\"There is one phase of the Hindu question concerning which the majority of the public seem to hold most erroneous opinions. I refer to his personal habits regarding cleanliness, use of alcoholic liquors, etc. As ship surgeon on the C.P.R. steamer Monteagle, and later the Tartar, at the time of the greatest influx of Hindus, the majority of these people passed under my close observation. It was my duty to make a thorough physical examination of each emigrant at Hong Kong, and although at first I was strongly prejudiced against them, I lost this prejudice after thousands of them had passed through my hands, and I had compared them with the white steerage passengers I had seen on the Atlantic.\n\n\"I refer in particular to the Sikhs, and I am not exaggerating in the least when I say that they were 100 per cent. cleaner in their habits and freer from disease than the European steerage passengers I had come in contact with. The Sikhs impressed me as...\n\nPage 630\nPage 631",

        "content_text": "# Mewa Singh's Statement\n\nI shot Mr. Hopkinson, and I will have to die, but it is for the others that the case will be properly represented, and to help all the others, and show this treatment to the public, and bring it in front of them. There is no justice issued out to you by the judges, nor the police, nor any of them, and that is why I am giving my life to show this matter up. I understand God's ways and am a God-fearing man.\n\nI say my prayers for an hour in the morning and half an hour at night. When I know that this wrong has been done I cannot expect God to bless me if my prayers were not accepted. I know my prayers have been accepted and God knows between the right and the wrong. In our prayers it says that we must see the right done. We cannot shut our eyes and see wrong done.\n\n\"Let our best judges and barristers fathom this out, why Mr. Hopkinson has been shot, and get at the end of this. The other trouble is that men may go and drink and do whatever they like and go to the immigration and are accepted as right. We that are God-fearing and say our prayers are crashed and dragged down. I cannot, as a God-fearing man, look on that any longer.\n\nIn Sumas I had a case against me and I got a pistol and the immigration men caught me and I was taken in front of the judge and was fined $58. After that case was dismissed they brought another case against me, saying that I had brought the firearms from one country to the other and that time Bela Singh, Hopkinson and others were there.\n\n\"When I was locked up at Sumas they took me out of the gaol and Hopkinson and Bela Singh said: 'You have got to say that these pistols are for Bhag Singh, Balwant Singh and Harnan.' When they took me out of gaol Mr. Hopkinson and Bela Singh said to me, 'I will get you off free if you say that Bhag Singh, Balwant Singh and Harnan have given you these pistols to give to Mr. Rahim.' I turned around and told them, 'You can cut me into little bits and I will not tell that lie for you.' Bela and Hopkinson said this to me, but the others told Bela to say it to me. First of all, the three said it and then Bela Singh kept saying it to me. First of all, the three kept following me around for days, and afterwards only Bela Singh.\n\n\"Mr. Hopkinson said to me again, 'I am all powerful here. I can get you right off if you make that statement.' I told Mr. Hopkinson, 'I cannot. I am a God-fearing man. I may be cut into little pieces, but I cannot say that.' Then Bela Singh said to me, 'Give Mr. Hopkinson some dollars and get it settled.' I said, 'I will give you the dollars, but a lie I will not tell.' The case where I was charged they had it put aside and dismissed. I paid $40 to Bela Singh. Mr. Hopkinson was present.\n\n\"They told me the whole case is settled. There will be nothing more about it. I do not know if they had really settled this case or not, but I got a letter from the Ottawa Government. After my case was all dismissed from there, one day Bela Singh took me down to the immigration office. He took me inside and Mr. Hopkinson was present. Mr. Hopkinson started writing a letter, and he turned around and asked me to tell him where I came from, my father's name, my village, and everything. Mr. Hopkinson and Bela Singh were present in the office. I told them all this and they wrote it down. Mr. Hopkinson said, 'Do you not remember I got you off five years' gaol the other day! Now, you tell me the names of the men I want to know.' They then asked me to give the names of the men that are against the Government. They said, 'You know them; give out their names and tell us.' I told them I did not know who is with the Government or against the Government. I can give you no information.\"\n\nThen again they said to me in that office, Mr. Hopkinson and Bela Singh, to say that those pistols that I had at Sumas were given to me by Bhag Singh, Balwant Singh and Harnan Singh, to give to Mr. Rahim, and then we will be your friends. 'No,' I said, 'I have given you the dollars before and now again you tighten me up and want me to tell lies. I cannot give innocent men away and get them punished by making false statements.' Then they said to me, 'If you will not make this statement then you are no friend of ours. We cannot make any friendship with you.' Then Mr. Hopkinson went and brought another man, who was a white man. I cannot say if he was a barrister or what he was, but Mr. Hopkinson brought him there.\n\n\"Mr. Hopkinson took the letter that had been written first, the truthful letter, and tore it up; before he went out to call this strange man in he destroyed the proper letter with the truth in it. And then when he brought the other man he started to write down another statement. I do not know who he was, whether he was an immigration barrister or who he was. Mr. Hopkinson and Bela Singh kept on saying, 'We got you off five years, cannot you make this statement for us!' And I still refused and said, 'No.' But told him exactly how I went to Sumas and what happened at Sumas, and I made no wrong statements. It was for some lot that we had in Seattle that is what we went for and I told the truth in that statement. I cannot tell you any more why we went there, only for this lot.\n\nThen they kept talking in English, which I do not understand. I neither read nor write it. Mr. Hopkinson said to me, 'Cannot you give us some of the names? Do not be afraid. Put down Rahim's name, or anyone. Do not be afraid I will help you through.'\n\n\"Mr. Hopkinson said, 'When you went to Sumas was Rahim at the Sikh temple or not? Cannot you tell us that?' I said, 'I do not know.' Mr. Hopkinson again reminded me by saying, 'I have got you off five years about those pistols and you cannot do this little thing for me. Come along and make this false statement. Do not be afraid.' Then Bela Singh turned to Mr. Hopkinson and said, 'Mr. Hopkinson, this is a God-fearing man who says his prayers. Do not make him tell any lies.' After they wrote this letter I would not sign it or have anything to do with it, and Bela Singh and I went out to my home. This is the whole story; it stops here.\n\nThen the letter came to me from Ottawa. I went to the post office and they told me, 'Go and get Mr. Hopkinson and you can get this letter. If Mr. Hopkinson signs for this letter you will get it; otherwise you cannot.' And I went off to get Mr. Hopkinson to the immigration office. When I met Mr. Hopkinson we talked and Mr. Hopkinson said, 'You are a witness of Bela Singh,' when we were going along to the post office. Mr. Hopkinson said to me on the way from there, 'Now, you are going to give evidence about Bela Singh. You turn around and give evidence on this side in favor of Bela Singh, otherwise it will be bad for you. You will go the same road that Bhag Singh and Badden Singh have gone,' and threatened me.\n\n\"On the way from the post office he said this to me. I said, 'Mr. Hopkinson, after taking money from me and threatening me and getting me to write all these things, why do you tell me that I will be killed like Bhag Singh and Badden Singh? What are things coming to, and then you write that letter which you knew was not true and you take dollars from me and then you want me to give evidence now in favor of Bela Singh and threaten my life.' Mr. Hopkinson said to me, 'I am all powerful in this Vancouver.' Then he said at the post office after the letter was opened it was about the pistols, etc., and it was handed to me, and they opened the letter and read it was about the pistols, and in that letter I was exonerated, there was no more case against me. Mr. Hopkinson went to the immigration office and I went home.\n\n\"All night long it haunted me that here I am a man that says my prayers and these men harass me like this with these wrong statements and are trying to disgrace me and bring me into trouble. I kept this in my heart all that night, and could not sleep with thinking that this disgrace should follow me about. Why should Mr. Hopkinson bring me down to this disgrace? Then two or three days after was going along Hastings Street there I met Baboo Singh. I said, 'Good morning!' to him and asked him how he was. Baboo Singh said to me, 'Which side are you going to give evidence, our side or their side?' I said to me, 'I do not know just now, I will see at the time.' Then from the other side of the street Gurdit Singh was coming. Gurdit Singh's village is Bilga.\n\n\"When Gurdit Singh was coming Baboo Singh used bad language to Gurdit Singh and said, 'I am going to ask Mewa Singh in front of Gurdit Singh and see if he will say on which side he is going to give evidence,' to get me to say in Gurdit Singh's presence. Then again, when Gurdit Singh was there he asked me which side I was going to speak for. I turned round and said, 'I will tell the truth I saw in the temple, and nothing else.' Gurdit Singh told me to tell the truth and say whatever I saw in the temple. Do not go behind the truth. Baboo Singh turned round and said to ...\n\n634 \n\n1",

        "content_text": "derstood until personally experienced. I had such an experience, and I know now the psychology of the man who has been spurned away from the gates of Canada or South Africa, as a political heretic. It was about two years ago, when I left Japan with my wife for the United States. The Japanese steamer bound for Seattle, an American port, touched en route the Canadian port of Victoria, B.C.\n\nAfter the long and rough voyage across the Pacific, came the gladdening chance of going on land. My wife had been very sick on sea. As soon as the steamer came into port, all passengers went ashore, but we were detained. I was an East Indian, they could not permit me \"to set foot on Canadian soil.\" The captain of the steamer wrote out for us a special permit. It was not sufficient. The next in command to the captain went to plead for us personally. He said we were first-class passengers; the captain and his staff would hold themselves personally responsible for behaviour when on land, etc. The Immigration Officer curtly said 'No Hindu (East Indian) can step out on the soil of British Columbia.'\n\nMy cabin boy (the attending servant) had also gone to spend a few hours on land after that sickening voyage of fourteen days and nights.\n\nWe were left alone to brood over our dismay. No, we were not alone. They had appointed a negro over us. My wife took it very badly. Believe me, they kept a close watch. Some of my countrymen had come to see us; they were refused permission to come aboard our ship. Our fit of blues was nearly dispelled by an event which happened in the evening. Next to our cabin was a Filipino. He had, of course, permission to go about as he pleased. My negro guard mistook him in the dubious glow of the twilight for me. The victim protested that he was a pure-blooded Filipino, a citizen of the United States. But my guard would not let go his hold on him. He was quite sure it was a ruse I had put up. Finally, I had called out from inside the cabin that the Filipino was a Filipino and not a Hindustanee. He was the one person who thanked us that night.\n\nThe moral of the story is this: All welcome to Canada - Japanese, Chinese, Negroes, Filipinos - all, but not the people of India.\n\n*A British subject domiciled in Canada for three years is recognized as a Canadian citizen. (See `Immigration Act`.)\n\n## CANADA INDIA COMMITTEE\n\nThe objects are:\n| Object | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | To promote a wider appreciation of Canada's relation to India. |\n| (b) | To secure its equitable adjustment. |\n\nThe first is of a general educational character, designed to remove certain prejudices on the part of the citizens of both India and Canada. The second will remove certain injustices imposed on the people of India resident in Canada.\n\n### Principles\n\nThe Committee's motives are based on the fundamental Rights of Man and the principles of Christianity professed by all the Western peoples, without regard to political, sectarian or personal aims.\n\nThe Committee:\n1. Accepts, as involving a high moral obligation, the great pledge given the people of India by Queen Victoria, which is: \"We hold ourselves bound to the natives of our Indian territories by the same obligatives of duty which bind us to all our other subjects.\"\n2. Declares, in consequence, the need of laws, which will prevent discrimination against East Indians, whilst maintaining the established economic policy of Canada.\n3. Invites the aid of all persons actuated by the above motives.\n\nBy becoming an associate of the Canada India Committee, you can assist in its efforts to give publicity to this important question. Apply to the Secretary for further information as to membership, etc. Address Dr. L. A. Davis, 68 Tranby Avenue, Toronto, Canada.\n\nHe sees indeed who sees in all alike the Living, Supreme Lord; the Soul Supreme, Imperishable amid the Perishing. - Bhagavad-Gîtâ.\n\n10\n11",

The head of this Company is said to be an American of the name of Millroy. The head office of the Company is to be at Seattle or Portland (Oregon); the Steamers are to call, however, at San Francisco on the way to Japan and China.\n\nIt is to be hoped that the introduction of these American Steamers will give German Merchants opportunity to take a larger part than before in the Export and Import trade between the United States and China.\n\nSigned:  \n**Shanghai Branch of the Hamburg America Line**.",

        "content_text": "314\n\nThe traffic has been the cause of great embarrassment to Messrs. Alfred Holt & Company. Their ships are delayed while search is made by their own servants and by the Customs officers, and if opium is found, as it often is, the port authorities refuse to grant the ship's discharge until a fine is paid, or legal proceedings are taken against the owners in the Courts. In the case of the \"Calchas,\" on board of which a seizure was made at Seattle, U.S.A., a fine of no less than $26,140.00 was imposed. In China they are faced with the possibility that under the Mackay Treaty, the trading privileges of some of their ships may be withdrawn, with the inevitable result of disorganising the China trade, in which they are most important carriers. The correspondence with their agents in the Far East illustrates sufficiently clearly both the efforts which they have made to prevent smuggling, and the inconvenience and loss to which, in spite of their efforts, they have been subjected. They feel that they have neglected no precaution which they could reasonably be required to take. They have employed detectives to watch their ships while in dock. They have instructed their Captains to make systematic searches of all parts of their ships before arriving at foreign ports, and the Captains are required to enter the results of their searches in special forms. Their officers have actively assisted the Customs authorities in seizing opium after arrival in port, and they have undertaken on more than one occasion the prosecution of the offenders. The difficulty of discovering contraband goods on board a ship on the high seas is of course very great, and seizures are more often made by the Customs officers than by those of the ship. The Customs authorities in the Far East are apparently satisfied that the shipowners are doing their best. But the trade continues, and is no doubt still profitable.\n\nIn the opinion of Messrs. Alfred Holt & Company, legal proceedings against the Chinese firemen are not, and are not likely to be effective. It is in the first place very difficult to convict any particular man of having hidden opium in a coal bunker, or ash ejector, or crank pit, or other place to which all have access. The offender is seldom caught red-handed, and the most conclusive evidence of his guilt which is generally to be got, is his attempted or successful desertion when the discovery of opium is made. In the second place, the punishments imposed, especially those imposed by the Chinese Government, are inadequate to the extent and profitable nature of the traffic, and inconsistent with the severity of the methods of the Customs officers. A short term of imprisonment, which may be commuted by a fine, means nothing to men of this type, who are evidently provided with ample funds by their principals. So obvious is this, that the suggestion has actually been made that the Chinese Government should be pressed to alter the law, and substitute decapitation for imprisonment or fine, as the punishment for opium smuggling. This suggestion was made by a high official of the Chinese Customs at Shanghai.\n\nOne means employed by Messrs. Alfred Holt & Company to put pressure on the ringleaders of the conspiracy deserves special mention. Their Chinese crews are engaged through a Chinese firm at Hong Kong called \"Jack a Tai and Company.\" This firm guarantees the honesty of all the men whom it provides, and it has been the custom of Messrs. Alfred Holt & Company to debit Jack a Tai with the amount of all fines and dues imposed on them in connection with the smuggling of opium on board their ships. This has been done, not merely in pursuance of a legal right, but on account of their suspicion that Jack a Tai was concerned in the illicit trade. This suspicion has been turned into certainty by the discoveries made on the premises of Yuehn King Chiu. In the account books of San Toy & Company appear entries which identify Jack a Tai with Kwoh Tsze Shan, one of the largest Chinese purchasers of the Company. Whether Messrs. Alfred Holt & Company will be able to drive Jack a Tai out of the trade by compelling him to pay all the pecuniary penalties, is not certain. But he is, in any case, only one of many purchasers, and the trade itself will not be killed if he alone is expelled from it.\n\nThere remains one possible way of dealing with individuals. That is a criminal charge of conspiracy to export opium, in breach of the Royal Proclamation of February, 1915. Messrs. Alfred Holt & Company have considered this point very carefully, and have consulted Mr. A. H. Bodkin, the well-known Counsel to the Treasury, as well as their own solicitors, and Mr. Graham Harrison, solicitor to the Commissioners of Customs. Mr. Bodkin has advised them that a charge\n\n4",

        "content_text": "Own account.\n\n50\n\nA noteworthy feature of German competition in the Philippines has been the enterprise shown by young Germans of late years in commencing business on their own account. Whereas several such houses have begun trading in the past few years, I cannot trace a similar British house. This fact is probably due to the more liberal facilities accorded to them by the manufacturers and banks in their own country than has been the case in Great Britain. Credit must, however, be given for their undoubted industry and energy, and for the fact that many of them start, on the whole, better equipped with a sound commercial education than do their British contemporaries, who acquire their special knowledge haphazard in the service of established firms rather than in the schools.\n\nJapanese Competition.-The principal items of import from Japan in 1913 were:-\n\n£\n£\n\nCoal\n160,000 (210,000 in 1914)\n\nCement\n5,000 (25,000 in 1914)\n\nCotton Yarns, Grey\n11,000 (47,000 in 1914)\n\nCotton Cloth, bleached\n26,000\n14,000 in 1914\n\ndyed\n5,000 (11,000 in 1914)\n\nmercerised\n21,000 (30,000 in 1914)\n\nall other Wearing Apparel\n22,000\n\n21,000\n\n1,000\n\n60,000\n\nSince the outbreak of war, however, Japanese competition, particularly in textiles, has become more acute, and is being severely felt in underwear, umbrellas, yarns (40's), Turkey red cloths and other goods.\n\nJapanese shipping is only surpassed in total number of vessels and tonnage by the British. In 1914, of all shipping entered and cleared at Manila, the Japanese flag was flown on 132 vessels of a total net tonnage of 422,265. (British shipping for the same period-350 vessels, and 822,648 tons.)\n\nThe Mitsui Bussan Kaisha are established at Manila, and handle a steadily increasing import and export trade. The reason for the relative increase in imports from Japan may be explained in a sentence: cheap labour and geographical position.\n\nJapanese competition is undoubtedly increasing in severity, but it will be seen from the figures that it is not as yet really serious, and has not so far adversely affected local British interests to any appreciable extent.\n\nAmerican Competition. As we have seen, the United States supplies the major portion of the articles imported into the islands, a state of affairs entirely brought about by the Customs preference. I am informed that as the Philippines Government usually finds difficulty in raising revenue, it is possible that at some future time a small duty may be imposed on goods from the United States, but there is little hope that, in any event, foreign goods will be allowed to enter on the same terms as those from the United States so long as a virtual protectorate over the islands is continued.\n\nIn the local competition among merchants, American houses have not made the headway that might have been expected. Messrs. Macleod & Co. are strong competitors in hemp shipments, and transact a shipping agency business. Messrs. Macondray & Co. (in which there are British interests) do a considerable shipping and import trade. The American Trading Co., and several other smaller United States firms, are moderately active, particularly as regards engineering and hardware.\n\nBritish merchants, however, with their old-established connections and trade marks, and their strong financial position, are successfully maintaining their hold on the bulk trade.\n\nPage 51\n\nGeneral Methods of Business. The distribution of merchandise in the interior and throughout the islands is almost entirely in the hands of Chinese, who also act as merchants and brokers for the sale of produce to foreign exporters. Each foreign house in Manila, and elsewhere, employs a Chinese compradore for the transaction of its business, and he usually guarantees the accounts.\n\nThe usual credit terms granted by British houses on imported goods is from one to two months clear, and interest at the rate of 5-7 per cent. is charged after the expiry of this term. German firms frequently give 4-6 months credit, handing over the goods against promissory notes. Produce for export is paid for in cash upon delivery and after inspection, and this system has been found to work satisfactorily. In some cases advances are made, but this is not really necessary, and the custom is pernicious.\n\nShipping Facilities. In normal pre-war times direct shipping services were maintained between the United Kingdom and Philippine ports (Manila and Iloilo) by the Cia. Transatlantica and by Messrs. Alfred Holt & Co. The former line loaded at Liverpool and Glasgow, and called en route at Spanish ports and Singapore. This service has been suspended. The Blue Funnel steamers (Alfred Holt & Co.) load also at Glasgow and Birkenhead, and call at Penang and Singapore, but direct shipment has been suspended since the war, and cargo for the Philippines is transhipped at Hong Kong. Goods can also be shipped from London by the P. & O., Glen, Shire, and Nippon Yusen Kaisha lines with transhipment at Hong Kong, and occasionally a steamer loads at Middlesboro', taking Philippines cargo as far as Hong Kong. All these lines are members of the Eastern Shipping Conference, and a very efficient service was maintained.\n\nThe Trans-Pacific trade, prior to the war, was largely in the hands of the Pacific Mail S.S. Co., the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha. The first-named company has now withdrawn its service owing to the operation of the La Follette Seaman's Bill, according to the terms of which 75 per cent. of the seamen on vessels entering United States ports must understand the language of their officers. This greatly-criticised measure has given a direct premium to Japanese shipping, which now largely predominates on the Pacific. In June 1914 the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company made Manila a port of call for its \"Empress\" boats on the outward voyage from Vancouver to Hong Kong, and this service will be fully maintained after the war. Messrs. Alfred Holt & Co. operated a service between Manila, Seattle and Puget Sound ports, and trans-Pacific connections were also maintained by steamers of the Barber, Dodwell, and Bank lines.\n\nIn 1914 an arrangement was made whereby three steamship companies, viz., the Ocean Steamship Co. (Alfred Holt & Co.) and two Dutch companies-Rotterdam Lloyd and the Netherlands-will in turn send one ship a month from New York via the Suez Canal, making Manila its terminus point after calling at Batavia and Macassar, and calling at Batavia, Colombo, and Gibraltar on the return voyage. The Indra line also run regular services from New York to the Far East via Suez.\n\nA very good local service between Manila and Hong Kong is maintained by the China Navigation Co. (Messrs. Butterfield and Swire), the Indo-China S.S. Co. (Messrs. Jardine, Mathieson, & Co., Ltd.), and numerous Japanese steamers.\n\nThe share of the principal flags engaged in the foreign trade of the islands will be seen from the following figures abstracted from the Consular Report, and showing the vessels cleared at Manila during 1913 and 1914-\n\nNationality\nVessels. 1913\nNet Tonnage\nVessels. 1914\nNet Tonnage\n\nBritish\n359\n827,246\n360\n822,648\n\nUnited States\n29\n204,582\n27\n193,049\n\nDanish\n10\n\n8\n997\n\nFrench\n81\n250,321\n61\n191,847\n\nGerman\n133\n402,496\n182\n422,265\n\nJapanese\n\n+\n5,117\n\nNorwegian\n8\n16,220\n45\n60,961\n\nPhilippine\n37\n$1,700\n\nt\n\nPortuguese\n1\n995\n207\n\nRussian\n13\n32,558\n12\n28,355\n\nSpanish\n2\n6,882\n2\n4,645\n\nSwedish\n\n669\n\nTotal\n1,791,203\n\n631\n1,721,931\n\nNOTE.-Coastwise vessels are not included in the foregoing table, only those entering and clearing Manila direct in foreign trade being mentioned here.

        "content_text": "Page 110\n\nThe following extract from the \"Far Eastern Review,\" July or August 1916, the facts of which have been authenticated, clearly shows the way in which the Japanese State-aided and directed national shipping policy operates to the advantage of Japanese trade and to the grave detriment of that of all other competing countries in the open market of China:—\n\n\"A new menace and an exceedingly serious hindrance to trade between China and foreign countries, especially concerning Great Britain and the United States, has recently developed and has created a situation in which the capture of China's entire export trade by Japan is imminent. It is imminent if it has not already come about.\n\n\"Knowledge of the situation first came to break upon the British and American merchants when, in response to recent cabled requests from London for prices, they submitted bids for the supply of certain Chinese commodities, which, instead of being accepted as in former times, were rejected with the comment 'Price too high.' This happened not only in some of the smaller lines of business, but in two of the great export products of China, vegetable oils and oil seeds, on which the particular merchants tendering were convinced they could quote as low prices as anyone.\n\n\"Refusal of first offers led some of them to quote new prices without commission, quoting the exact cost, insurance, and freight on the goods in question. Again the reply came back that the prices were too high. Closer enquiry elicited the information that Japanese houses, or British houses in London acting as agents for Japanese, were making much lower quotations. How they could do this the British and American firms failed to understand, since in some cases they know that slightly higher prices had been paid by Japanese for Chinese exports than they themselves were willing to offer.\n\n\"Then came a bombshell in the publication by the Japanese of revised schedules of freight from Kobe to the United Kingdom. By these schedules it was shown that Japanese steamers were taking ground-nut cargo, for example, at 48s. a ton from Kobe to Hull, whereas the Home Conference rate as published by that body was 190s. Since the rate from Shanghai to Kobe is about $6 Mexican a ton, or, at the then rate of exchange, about 11s., it appears that Japanese shippers can purchase China products in Shanghai or other ports, ship them to Kobe, and tranship to the United Kingdom for about 60s. a ton, plus the cost of transhipment. This gives the Japanese an immense advantage over shippers on British and other vessels charging the Homeward Conference rate of 190s. a ton.\n\n\"It is obvious that no firm compelled to pay the Conference rates can hope to compete in any product which the Japanese care to handle, and it also follows that the Japanese buyers of Chinese products are able to pay several Mexican dollars a picul more for China products, thus stifling all present competition in buying, although the ultimate effect of this monopoly probably will be not to raise prices, but to lower them, as the Japanese is a good business man and always pays as little as he can for any produce he desires,\n\nPage 44\n\n\"The question may be raised why the British and American shippers do not take the line of least resistance and avoid payment of the 190s. Conference rate by shipping through Kobe. This is impossible, since the Japanese have carefully closed this outlet to other nationalities, and their polite reply to merchants seeking cargo space for such shipments is that they have no room on their ships to accommodate the same. Whether this statement is actually according to fact at the time the space is requested or not does not matter since, even with the Japanese shipping and all the ships running under the Conference rates, there is still a sufficient deficit of cargo space, and the Japanese need only go out into the market in China to buy any amount of products needed to fill their holds.\n\n\"Thus far only the question of British and American trade with Great Britain has been dealt with, but it would also appear that those doing business with the United States, especially with the West Coast, are in a similar predicament as regards Japanese competition. The rate from Kobe to the West Coast is $8 gold per ton, according to the last advertised rates of the Japanese subsidised lines, whose maximum charges are regulated by the Japanese Government. Add to this the freight of $11 Mexican from Shanghai to Kobe, or about $5.50 gold, and it becomes evident that Japanese shippers can land Chinese products in San Francisco or Seattle for the freight charge\n\nPage 111\n\nof $13.50 gold, plus the cost of transhipment in a Japanese port, which probably runs less than 50 cents gold a ton, making a total freight and handling charge of $14. The Pacific Conference rates are $24 gold a ton, which gives the Japanese an advantage of $10 a ton, so that no American shipper or any other than Japanese can hope to compete.\n\nWhile the effect at present is evidently to restrict trade in China products to the Japanese, it must not be forgotten that when trade lines are once established in China they tend to persist, and Japan's monopoly of the field, to the exclusion of all other competitors, gives her an opportunity of securing a strangle hold on the China market, which may be difficult to shake off when normal conditions as regards shipping return.\n\n\"The noteworthy feature of this competition is that it is perfectly legitimate, and has come about through the fact that Japan has been handed the dominance of the Pacific by the enforced withdrawal of the Pacific Mail Lines and the general lack of American ships in Pacific waters. In fact, so greatly have the Japanese been aided in their policy of 'peaceful penetration' by the present shipping conditions, that their entire diplomatic attitude towards China shows signs of change. Their subconscious argument probably is, 'What is the necessity of force or threat of the same as displayed in the famous twenty-one demands, when the shipping situation has put us in a position simply to let economic advantages do their work and secure us that dominant place in the trade of China which we have so long contended was ours by right of proximity.'\n\n\"Be that as it may, other nations engaged in business in China are not viewing with complacency the advance of Japan's commercial place at their expense, especially now that efforts on their part to secure relief by lower rates on the China run have proved unavailing, and strong representations made to the British Government have failed to reduce the rates of the British-owned ships in the least. When it is considered that even the 48s. rate from Kobe to United Kingdom ports represents a considerable increase over conditions prior to the war and that Japanese subsidised lines are making money hand over fist, declaring unprecedented dividends, it would appear that this firm combination of Japanese merchants and shipowners is being enabled to build such a wall around the trade of China that even a sweeping slash in rates will fail to demolish it. Past experience has proved that the Japanese can run their ships on lower freight rates than those of other nationalities, so that it may take sterner competition than ever has occurred in the past to make a breach in the new economic wall which Japan has constructed around China, a wall in which no diplomatic representations can force an 'open door' since it is all so simple and above-board, being based on conditions over which diplomacy has no control.\"\n\nD. ACTIVE GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGEMENT OF FOREIGN TRADE. Japanese official policy with regard to foreign trade has many points in common with that of Germany. The Japanese Imperial Government realised at an early date that economic expansion and the creation of a large overseas trade, with its concomitant of economic penetration in the countries of the East, was the surest way to consolidate the political position as the leading Power in the Far East to which it aspired, and which it has attained in a remarkably short space of time.\n\nIndustry and foreign commerce have, therefore, been fostered and scientifically protected in every possible way. Shipping has been encouraged by means of large subsidies, the closing of the coasting trade to all but Japanese vessels, and the development of the shipbuilding resources of the country by placing Government orders for warships with private yards such as the Mitsu Bishi Dockyard at Nagasaki and the Kawasaki Company at Kobe.\n\nFinance has been stimulated by the Government support accorded to the Bank of Japan, the Yokohama Specie Bank, the Bank of Taiwan, and others; the two last-mentioned concerns have branches in almost all countries of the Far East and in India. I am informed by a British banker in Japan that State financial aid is afforded to the foreign trade of Japan to the extent of 2,000,000l. at 2 per cent. per annum, through the medium of the Yokohama Specie Bank, which does not refuse any Japanese applicant for accommodation, provided that his enterprise is reasonably sound, and he bears a good character, apart altogether from what his financial standing may be. Judged by results, this policy would seem to have been justified,\n\nPage 04\n\n652",

        "content_text": "I \n\n116 \n\nI was informed by Mr. Holt (April 10th, 1916) that freight rates for British manufactures on the outward run have been kept at as moderate a figure as possible in order not to strangle our export trade, and that they bear favourable comparison with rates on other shipping routes. As an instance of the advances made, he quoted \n\nSteel to Japan :- Before the war, 32s. 6d. ; rate at 10th April 1916, 47s. 6d. Piece goods to China and Japan :-- Before the war, 45s.; rate at 10th April 1916, 65s. \n\nThe companies point out that there will be a considerable shortage of Allied tonnage at the conclusion of the war owing to the number of vessels sunk by the enemy, and the impossibility of replacing tonnage so lost at the present time. Furthermore, steamers have been worked hard, repairs have been reduced to a minimum, and a great amount of docking and repairing will require to be done, while those vessels which have been chartered by the Admiralty will require to be refitted, and so will not be available for commercial work for some considerable time after the conclusion of hostilities. It is generally supposed, therefore, that the position of British companies as regards tonnage will be weaker at the conclusion of the war than before. \n\nOn the other hand Japanese shipping firms will be in a relatively strong position. Japanese ships have suffered less from submarine warfare than British vessels owing to the fact that they have only one regular line passing through the dangerous zones, and that these steamers have for some time avoided the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean, and have taken the Cape route. The large profits which are being made by Japanese companies during the war are being set aside for new construction, which is being expedited as much as possible. \n\nSuggested Action after the War.-The opinions expressed differ somewhat. Mr. R. D. Holt, M.P., whose opinion as the head of the most important line of freighters to the Far East deserves some consideration, stated that his firm did not desire a subsidy or assistance of any kind, and had no doubt whatever of their ability to maintain their position after the war. He intimated that he thought that the best policy which H.M. Government could follow would be to leave shipowners alone to fight their own battles. He suggested that if an indemnity were imposed on Germany at the end of the war, it might be exacted by taking over the German ships and selling them by auction. In any case he did not consider that German shipping competition would be serious after the war. On the other hand, the P. & O. S.N. Co., Ltd., and the British India S.N. Co., Ltd., which are amalgamated, and directed by a board common to both, make two definite suggestions. They state :- \n\n(1) \"It would seem a reasonable stipulation to be imposed upon the enemy, said to be building commercial tonnage even now, that his ships should be excluded from trading to Allied ports for a certain period after the conclusion of peace. \n\n(2) \n\n\"British shipowners who have lost vessels as the result of submarine warfare, which it cannot be doubted is part of a plan to cripple the commercial interests of this country, should have delivered to them, as part of the compensation, German ships of equivalent tonnage.\" \n\n(b) The Trans-Pacific Lines, \n\nPosition before the War. The principal British lines interested in the trans-Pacific trade before the war were the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, with its fast mail service between Vancouver, Japan and China; the Blue Funnel Line, operating between the Dutch East Indies, Hong Kong and Puget Sound ports; and one or two less regular lines, such as the Dodwell Line and the Bank Line. Exceedingly severe competition was experienced from the Japanese companies. The American Pacific Mail Steamship Company secured a large share of the passenger traffic between the Philippines, China, Japan and San Francisco, \n\nThe principal Japanese lines competing were the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, with its service of new, fast passenger and mail steamers between the Philippines, China, Japan and San Francisco. The Nippon Yusen Kaisha and the Osaka Shosen Kaisha maintained services of cargo steamers between Japan and Seattle. \n\nOn the whole, the trade was fairly equally apportioned between the British, Japanese and American companies, and conditions were quite satisfactory. \n\n117 \n\nPosition during the War.-A combination of circumstances have resulted in the temporary acquirement by Japan of almost a monopoly of the trans-Pacific service. \n\nIn 1915 the U.S. Government passed the La Follette Seamen's Bill, according to the terms of which it was laid down that 75 per cent. of the crews of the vessels entering U.S. ports should speak the language of their officers. Inasmuch as the Pacific Mail Company's steamers were largely manned by Oriental crews this measure dealt a serious blow at their position. White crews were too expensive and were difficult to obtain, and so the net result of this enactment was that the principal American line on the Pacific was forced to sell its steamers and retire from the field, Two or three of the larger vessels were purchased by the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, which company at present has the virtual monopoly of the passenger service between the Philippine Islands and the Mother Country. In the autumn of 1916 the Pacific Mail Company made an attempt to revive their service in a tentative way with three small steamers, but they still find that the obstruction of the American labour unions, supported by the provisions of the Seamen's Bill, interfere with successful operation. \n\nThe Canadian Pacific Railway Co. were not able to take immediate advantage of the position, inasmuch as the large new fast Empress liners were acting as auxiliary cruisers. These vessels, however, have now been restored to their owners, and are once more being run in the service, and it is hoped that some of the more valuable American cargo may be transferred to the Vancouver route. \n\nSince the war, the Dutch-Java-China-Pacific-Lijn have inaugurated a direct service between Java and the Philippines and the United States. As they have been able to secure full cargoes from these markets, very little attention appears to have been paid to the China trade. \n\nThe route to New York via the Panama Canal will also compete seriously in the future with the direct trans-Pacific lines to Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco. The greater part of this trade is at present in the hands of British shipping, but there is no doubt that the Japanese lines are paying special attention to this route. \n\nI am informed that British interests in the Pacific are now nominally represented \n\nby seven steamers as compared with 27 vessels employed by the Japanese. \n\nThere seems to be little doubt that Japanese mercantile shipping is destined to maintain a predominant position in the Pacific. This appears to be part of the political policy of Japan, and no efforts will be spared by the Japanese Government to consolidate and maintain the position recently acquired. Prior to the war, the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, notwithstanding a subsidy of over 266,000l., was run at a loss, and even in 1915, under favourable circumstances, their net earnings were less than the subsidy received by 86,000l.. All the shipbuilding yards in Japan are now engaged in turning out mercantile vessels, and although they have been somewhat hampered since the war in securing fine steel and other materials from Great Britain the output nevertheless has been considerable. \n\nSuggested Action after the War.-The Manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. at Yokohama makes the following suggestion, in which I entirely concur :- \n\n\"I would urge that, immediately war conditions permit, British shipbuilding yards should be allowed to give preference to the laying down and completion of steamers required for the established trade routes. I have, of course, more especially in view the strengthening of the service between Vancouver and the Orient, where additional tonnage is urgently needed. As it will, however, take some time to build steamers for this purpose, I would, as a temporary measure, suggest using such captured enemy steamers as can be condemned by the Prize Court and can be utilised on the Pacific.\" \n\n(c) The Coasting Trade in the Far East. \n\nThe Straits Settlements, Borneo and Siam.-The coasting trade between Singapore, Siam, and Borneo was before the war practically monopolised by the local steamers of the N.D.L. Since the war, however, a serious attempt has been made by the Straits Shipping Co., backed by the Blue Funnel Line, to capture this trade. Specially constructed steamers have been laid down, and there appears to be little doubt that the traffic will largely remain in British hands after the war, \n\nThe Dutch Islands. The coasting trade among the Dutch islands is virtually monopolised by the Dutch Royal Packet Co., and is likely to remain so after the war. British firms have little opportunity of securing this trade, and so far have refrained from making the attempt. \n\nPage 655\n\nQ 2\n\nPage 660\n\nPage 661\n\n?",

Also I beg to state that I am the agent for a very successful wireless concern which manufactures this apparatus at Seattle and whose prices on new installations are very low.\n\nFor your further information I will state that my plan is briefly to stretch a wirerope from two of the peaks of the island, say the peaks on either side of the Governor's summer residence or over the gap above Happy Valley, and suspend from this ropeway the rode to which the wireless wires are fastened. The ground wires could then be conducted to any suitable sending station. By the above arrangement the expense of towers will be done away with, a great height can be obtained and the installation be made Typhoon proof.\n\nIf wireless apparatus now on hand is used the only cost would be that of the wirerope and its anchoring at either end and in the solid formation.\n\nVery truly yours,\n**(Sd.) G. F. Ober**",

Ltd., a Company incorporated in Hong Kong on the 30th December 1912 under the Companies Ordinances of Hong Kong 1911 and 1913. The vessel was operated by the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. for the owners and in 1914 and 1915 was under charter to the British Government. In 1916 it appears to have been sold to the Southern Pacific Co. of New York.\n\nThe amount of the claim is $1,027.16 which can be supported by the Average Adjuster's statement. Owing to the fact that at the time the damage took place and at the outbreak of war the ship was owned by a British Company registered in the Colonies, we should be glad to know whether a claim can be put forward through your office or ...\n\n### Contacts and Offices \n| City          | \n|---------------|\n| NEW YORK      |\n| CHICAGO       |\n| WINNIPEG      |\n| PHILADELPHIA  |\n| VANCOUVER     |\n| BOSTON        |\n| LONDON        |\n| PARIS         |\n| MONTREAL      |\n| NEWCASTLE     |\n| ROTTERDAM     |\n| TORONTO       |\n| LIVERPOOL     |\n| CAIRO         |\n| PLYMOUTH      |\n| ALEXANDRIA    |\n| S' LOUIS      |\n| PITTSBURG     |\n| MILWAUKEE     |\n| SAN FRANCISCO |\n| MEXICO CITY   |\n| LOS ANGELES   |\n| SEATTLE       |\n| BUENOS AIRES  |\n| VALPARAISO    |\n| RIO DE JANEIRO|\n| DETROIT       |\n| CLEVELAND     |\n\nTelegrams: \"PRICE WATER\" \nTeleprod: 4894 + LINKS \nCablegrams: \"ACCOUNTANTS, STOCK.

Mr. Scott Harston (Chairman) presided and there were also present Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Sir Ellis Kadoorie, Mr. C. Montague Ede, and Mr. E. A. M. Williams (directors), Mr. J. H. Taggart (manager and secretary), Rev. Fr. Robert, the Hon. Mr. Ho Fook, Messrs. E. M. Raymond, Fung Tat Hang, W. E. Van Eps, Ho Kom Tong, and E. A. Ram (shareholders).\n\nThe CHAIRMAN said:-As indicated in that part of the notice which has just been read by the Company's Manager, this meeting has been convened for the purpose of receiving a report of the proceedings at the second extraordinary general meeting of this Company, held on the 13th instant, in so far as regards the resolutions Nos. 3, 4 and 5 set out in the notice convening such second extraordinary general meeting, which were passed as extraordinary resolutions at that meeting, and of confirming, if thought fit, such resolutions as special resolutions. Those resolutions, as you will remember, concerned:-\n\n(1.) The division of each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 into five fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\n(2.) The subsequent increase of the Company's capital from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each to be issued as indicated in the resolution No. 4 set out in the said notice.\n\n(3.) The capitalisation of the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of its general reserve, such capitalisation to be effected upon the lines indicated in the resolution No. 5 set out in the said notice.\n\nYour directors dealt at some length with the reasons which actuated your Directors in bringing forward the three resolutions in question, and I do not consider it necessary to deal further therewith now, except to remark that at the second extraordinary general meeting in question the three resolutions above referred to were unanimously passed as extraordinary resolutions, and that in order to comply with the provisions of the Hongkong Companies Ordinance, it is necessary that such resolutions shall be confirmed as special resolutions, and I accordingly beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the first of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(3.) That each of the existing 20,000 fully paid up shares of $50 each constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 be divided into 5 fully paid up shares of $10 each so as to make such capital $1,000,000 consisting of 100,000 fully paid up shares of $10 each.\n\nThe Rev. Father ROBERT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the second of the said three resolutions, namely:\n\n(4.) That after the division aforesaid, the capital of the Company be increased from $1,000,000 consisting as aforesaid to $2,500,000 divided into 250,000 shares of $10 each by the creation of 150,000 new shares of $10 each - such new shares (subject as hereinafter mentioned) to be issued at such time or times and on such terms and conditions in every respect as the Company's Board of Directors may think fit.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Ho Fook seconded the resolution, which was carried.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: I now beg to propose the confirmation as a special resolution of the third of the said three resolutions, namely:-\n\n(5.) That it is desirable to capitalise the sum of $1,000,000 being part of the undivided profits of the Company standing to the credit of the general reserve, and accordingly that for the purpose of effecting such capitalisation such sum of $1,000,000 be distributed as bonus among the shareholders of the Company in proportion to the shares in the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 held by them respectively on the date hereinafter referred to, and that a bonus be declared accordingly. And further that the Company's Board of Directors be and they are hereby authorised to satisfy such bonus as far as possible by the distribution in manner aforesaid of 100,000 shares of $10 each credited as fully paid up among the persons who are registered as the holders of the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 on such date as the Company's Board of Directors shall decide - such last mentioned shares to rank pari passu with the shares constituting the Company's present capital of $1,000,000 in respect of all profits of the Company earned since the 31st December, 1920, and such distribution to be in satisfaction of the aforementioned bonus.\n\nMr. Ho KOM TONG seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, that concludes the business for which this meeting was convened, and I thank you for your attendance. There are certain further steps to be taken by your Board of Directors in connection with the various matters mentioned in the said notice and which have been the subject of the three extraordinary general meetings, and these will be attended to in due course.\n\nSHIPPING.\n\nPASSENGER LISTS.\n\nARRIVALS.\n\nPer s.s.

In addition to the study of Shanghai as a great base for American business operations in North China and Northern Asia, American firms contemplating business in South China should make a close study of Canton and give thorough consideration to the advantages offered by establishing there.",

No fewer than fourteen lots of Crown land (including the four lots on which the old Post Office and Supreme Court stand) are advertised for sale by auction. Six of these are on Mount Davis.\n\nAnnouncement was made on Sept. 1st of the appointment of Mr. J. H. Taggart as Managing Director of the Hongkong Hotel Co., Ltd.; of Mr. H. N. Beaurepaire as Secretary; and Mr. E. W. Alderson as Sub-manager.\n\nThe King held an Investiture at Buckingham Palace on July 19th. Amongst those introduced into the presence of the Sovereign was Sir Charles Addis, who received a Knight Commandership of the Order of St. Michael and St. George.\n\nThe financial statement of the Colony for the month of May, published in the current Gazette, shows a revenue for the month of $1,484,925.43 and an expenditure of $963,561.46. The balance of assets over liabilities is given as $5,573,420.44.\n\nA very desirable public improvement is foreshadowed in the Government Gazette by a call for tenders for the construction of a reinforced concrete public pier, 160 feet 8 inches long by 41 feet 4 inches wide, and approach at Queen's Statue Square.\n\nFollowing the seizure by the police of a revolver and 48 rounds of ammunition, a European named Sydney Spalding, living at No. 6, Observatory Villas, was arrested by the police but was afterwards found to need hospital treatment. He is now in the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nMr. John J. Gorman, manager in the Far East of the Admiral Line, was a passenger by the s.s. Keystone State. Mr. Gorman is on a visit to the Company's agencies at Hongkong and Manila and will return to Seattle on the same steamer. Mr. Geo. A. Heyburn, assistant manager, will be in charge during the absence of Mr. Gorman.\n\nIt will interest old Hongkong residents to know that among those mentioned as possible successors of Mr. Crane as United States Minister to China was Dr. Stuart Thomson. A New Jersey paper says: \"Dr. Thomson was formerly manager at Hongkong, China, of the Pacific Mail and Toyo Kisen Kaisha Trans-Pacific Steamship Company's office, in which position he succeeded the Far East veteran, John Sheffield Van Buren, nephew of President Van Buren.”\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\nImprovements at Government House for which tenders are being invited include the erection, on the site of the existing stables and outbuildings, of a garage, laundry and custodian's quarters, and the forming of a new carriage drive involving alterations to the eastern entrance.\n\nTen robbers, armed with rifles and revolvers, broke into the Kwong Wo Yuen grocery shop, in Leungshanwan village, Saikung district, on the night of Aug.25th.

Charles Bone, who for seventeen years was the pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Wanchai, will regret to read the announcement of the death, in England, of Mrs. Bone, on August 26th. It is a little more than five years since they left the Colony. At present their three married daughters are all in England, on leave from Hongkong and from West Africa. The only surviving son is with Messrs. Butterfield & Swire in Shanghai, the younger son having been killed in the war. Much sympathy will be felt with the husband and family in the loss they have sustained.\n\nThe new Sharebrokers' Association formed by the \"outside brokers\" was inaugurated on September 1st, when there was a gathering of brokers and investors at the offices of the Association in Ice House Street to launch the Association in the customary way with Mr. A. H. Carroll, who has been one of the moving spirits in organising this Association, explained that the membership of the Hongkong Stockbrokers' Association was severely restricted and a desire had long existed among the outside brokers for the formation of another Association. The desire was now fulfilled, and he was glad to be able to announce that the new Association was supported by some of the largest investors and speculators in the Colony. The Association would meet at the same hour as the older body, so there would be no possibility of \"cribbing\" quotations. The Association intended in the near future to include in its list many stocks—especially Chinese Bank stocks—not at present quoted on the local exchange.\n\nRevised rates of postage on parcels posted in Hongkong to various parts of the world came into force on September 1st. A list occupying a couple of pages appears in the Government Gazette. The rates to the United Kingdom are not affected by the revision, but the list includes a number of British Colonies and possessions in Africa and America.\n\nA small railway platform is being built at Ho Mun Tin and we understand that, from the 16th inst., two trains in the morning—at 8.15 and 9.00—and two in the evening—from Kowloon at 5.27 and 7.09—will stop at this halt. Residents at Ho Mun Tin express themselves as highly gratified by this consideration on the part of the Railway Administration.\n\nA bathing party had a gruesome experience in Junk Bay a few days ago. While the bathers were in the water they observed a dead body rise to the surface. It was the truncated body of a European which bore indications of having been in the water many days. Evidently the man had been drowned while bathing, as the body was covered with a bathing dress. No report had been made to the police of any European being missing, and it is presumed that the body is that of a sailor from a vessel who may have been taking a lonely swim and lost his life unobserved by any one, and his disappearance from the ship may have been regarded perhaps at the time as desertion.\n\nThe newly-formed Society for the Protection of Mui Tsais held a meeting in the hall of the Tung Wah Hospital on August 27th under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak. There was an attendance of about 200 interested Chinese gentlemen, the majority of whom were members. On the Chairman's suggestion, the membership fee was fixed at $2. It was decided that an annual subscription was unnecessary because whenever the Society needed money it could appeal to its members who would subscribe whatever amount was required. Office bearers were appointed as follows:—Patrons: Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak and Hon. Mr. Ho Fook: Chairman: Mr. Wing-kwong; Vice-Chairman: Mr. Kwok Shiu-lau: Hon. Treasurer: Mr. Simon Tse Yan and Hon.

ANOTHER QUESTION IN THE COMMONS.\n\nIn the House of Commons, on July 6th, Lord H. Cavendish-Bentinck asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he could give the names of the Chinese ladies appointed to consider women and girls, especially the mui tsai, matters connected with the protection of in the Colony of Hongkong?\n\nMr. Wood: The information is not in my possession, but I will inquire of the Governor.\n\nTHE SANITARY BOARD.\n\nPREVALENCE OF RABIES.\n\nA meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on August 30th, Mr. G. R. Sayer presiding. There were also present: The Director of Public Works (the Hon. Mr. T. L. Perkins), Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Dr. Graca Ozorio, Mr. Chow Shou-sen, and the Secretary, (Mr. C. M. W. Reynolds).\n\nBeyond business of a routine character, the only item of interest was a discussion concerning the prevalence of rabies, in regard to which the procedure of notification of such cases or suspected cases was dealt with. It was mentioned that a dog recently, suspecting it of rabies, the owner shot his dog through the brain. This made it difficult for the bacteriologist, as it was necessary to an examination for suspected rabies that the brain should be left intact. Dogs suspected of suffering from rabies should be handed over to the Police and killed by shooting through the chest.",

I on Sep. 21 consignees are hereby notified that their cargo is being landed at their risk into the Hazardous and/or Extra-Hazardous Godowns of The Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf & Godown Co., at Kowloon, and stored at consignees' risk.\n\nConsignees of cargo must produce an Import Permit signed by the Superintendent of Imports and Exports, Hongkong, before Bills of Lading will be counter-signed.\n\nFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1922.\n\nEARLIER TELEGRAMS. (Continued from Page 3)\n\nTHE ALLIES AND TURKEY.\n\nParis, Sept. 21.\n\nAn account of the proceedings of the Foreign Ministers' Conference yesterday is contained in the semi-official statement which says that Lord Curzon expressed great astonishment at the fact that while the British had decided to reinforce her troops at Chanak, both France and Italy had resolved to withdraw their contingents from the south side of the Sea of Marmora.\n\nLord Curzon considered that the Franco-Italian decision hardly conformed with the agreements of 1915 and 1918, providing for partial Inter-Allied occupation of Turkish territory.\n\nM. Poincare regarded the agreements as being at present inapplicable, as no conflict was feared when the allocation of troops was provided thereunder. He added that French opinion would not permit French troops to act with the Greeks and he argued that if Chanak was held, the whole of the southern shore of the Sea of Marmora ought equally to be occupied.\n\nKemalists would entertain peace proposals.\n\nSignor Sforza, agreeing with M. Poincare, believed that the discussions on the acceptable basis of agreement cabled last night and which just then arrived.\n\nThe Conference decided, in principle, to hold a Peace Conference at Venice, but pointed out that Russia had not been invited as she was not directly interested, the Soviet-Angora Treaty specifically excluding Russian decisions affecting the sovereignty of Turkey and the security of Constantinople.\n\nM. Poincare further pointed out the military objection to the Allies fighting with their backs to the sea. He also pointed out the undesirable effect upon the Islamic world if Britain adopted an uncompromising or bellicose attitude.\n\nIt is semi-officially declared that the problem cannot be referred to the League of Nations as urged by Dr. Nansen and Dominion representatives, as it is a Government matter.\n\nThe document states that the Foreign Minister's decision marks a big step on the road to peace.\n\nAll broken, chafed and damaged cargo is to be left in the Godowns, where it will be examined at 10 a.m. on 26th inst., by the Company's Surveyors, Messrs. Anderson & Ashe.\n\nAll claims must be presented within thirty days of the steamer's arrival here, after which they cannot be recognized.\n\nNo claims will be recognised after the goods have left the Godowns, and cargo undelivered on and after Sept. 27th will be subject to rent.\n\nNo Fire Insurance whatever will be effected.\n\nConsignees are requested to send in their Bills of Lading for counter-signature immediately.\n\nPACIFIC STEAMSHIP CO., United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, No. 4.

A message from Angora reports that the Turks altogether captured 60,000 Greeks.\n\nWellington (N.Z.), Sept. 21. There has been an immense response to the proposal for service in the Straits. Ten thousand New Zealanders yesterday alone offered themselves.\n\nConstantinople, Sept. 21. Hamid Bey, the Kemalist representative here, has informed a British correspondent that the Turks intend to cross the Dardanelles and enter Thrace, but will not fire on the Allies in crossing unless first attacked.\n\nWashington, Sept. 21. The Near East policy of the United States has been outlined at the White House.\n\nIt is stated that the United States will stand aloof in the event of trouble, except to provide adequately for the relief of American citizens endangered by the Turkish advance and to participate in any general programme of relief adopted by the European governments.\n\nTHE NEW AMERICAN TARIFF BILL.\n\nWashington, Sept. 21. The Treasury experts estimate that the new tariff under the Fordney-McCumber Bill, the measure when enacted, will yield about $100,000,000 annual revenue, half of which will be derived from the following sources, viz., sugar, $37,000,000; raw wool, $63,000,000; tobacco, $35,000,000; laces and embroideries, $15,000,000; while the average ad valorem rates will be slightly higher than the Payne-Aldrich Tariff.\n\nThey will in actual operation show an average slightly lower because some of the new duties will be inoperative owing to their height or the absence of imports of commodities they cover.\n\nPerhaps, the most notable feature of the Bill is the power given to the President, after investigation by the Tariff Commission, to increase or decrease any rate in the Bill by 50 per cent. if necessary, in order to set off the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad.\n\nThe President may also declare American valuations as the basis of an assessment of ad valorem duties.\n\nIt is estimated that this will automatically increase the rates about 100 per cent.\n\nAfter such declaration the President could reduce any duty by 50 per cent. but could not increase it.\n\nAlmost all infantile troubles arise in the first place from stomach and bowel troubles.\n\nTo remedy these conditions use Baby's Own Tablets.\n\nThese Tablets stand in a class by themselves, being especially made for children's use, pleasant in taste and guaranteed absolutely harmless.\n\nThey quickly reduce simple fever, cure indigestion, check diarrhoea, allay teething pains, expel worms, relieve croup and colds, quiet the nerves and promote health-giving, restful sleep in a natural way.\n\nBaby's Own Tablets are sold by chemists, or at 60 cents the vial, post free, from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 96 Szechuen Road, Shanghai.\n\nVisitors always welcome a VICTROLA No Home complete without one.\n\nMCUTRIES:-Sole Agents.\n\nAIRSHIPS SUPPLANT CRUISERS.\n\nLondon, Sept. 21. The Admiralty has decided that the use of the airship in wartime shall become the first consideration of British airship policy, and its employment for Imperial communications the next.\n\nThis decision was influenced by figures in comparison with the cruiser, showing that the airship costing £250,000, compared with £900,000, is cheaper to navigate and able to cover seven times more area.\n\nSIAMESE TEAK TRADE.\n\nLondon, Sept. 21. As the May meeting of the Anglo-Siam Corporation is forthcoming, the issue of 22,000 ordinary shares of £50,000, 7%, preferences is announced.\n\nThe chairman's review considered the Siamese Government was insufficiently considering the interests of the teak trade in Siam.\n\nYEE SANG FAT CO.

CARGO HANDLING AT BATAVIA- In his report on the economic situation of the Netherlands East Indies. Mr. H.A.N. Bluett. British commercial agent for the Netherlands East Indies at Batavia, makes some interesting references to that company' shipping.

With the exception of a few speculative bookings, generally speaking business was done for shipment on very short notice, freight seldom being booked for more than a few weeks, and with a fairly large supply of ready tonnage on the spot there was no reason for shippers to bind them- selves until the last moment. During the early months of the latter part of the year, con- ditions, however, improved, there being a very firm demand for tonnage for two or three months ahead from July onwards- principally brought about by the sudden boom in the copra trade- but within a comparatively short space of time it was realised that the position had been exaggerat- ed, and that the requirements for tootage to the United Kingdom and the Continent were consider ably below expectations, more especially for through cargo from outlying ports in the Dutch East Indies, which, as a rule, consists largely of copra and rattans. De- pression again set in, business being little better than during the early monthe of the period under review; rates continued or\n\nSteamere proceed via Suez Canal or Panama Canal at Owners option.

        "content_text": "22\n\nadded to the private claims amounted to about 2,800,000; and the balance, 2,200,000 was remitted by proportionate deductions from the future payments. This was done without any conditions being imposed. At this point, the American Minister at Peking, Mr. W. W. Rockhill, a persona gratissima with the Chinese Ministers, induced the Chinese Government to continue to issue the American quota of the indemnity without deduction: and to pay that portion which was not claimed by the United States Government to a Commission of Education for the purpose of sending Chinese students to American universities. With the money so freed (about 75,000 a year), 400 Chinese students are provided with full scholarships in American universities, each receiving the amount of the university fees and a sum of about 170l. a year for his or her personal expenses. This fund is entirely under Chinese control. The Boxer indemnity also contributes towards the Tsing Hua College near Peking. This college was opened in 1911 by the Chinese Government with the assistance of a staff of American teachers. In 1913, there were 624 students, about two-fifths of whom were in the upper school, and the remainder in the preparatory school. The object of the Tsing Hua College is to prepare students for a further course of study in the United States of America. The college is independent of foreign control, but Dr. Tenney, Chinese secretary of the United States Legation, is an honorary member of the governing body. The college has been a most successful experiment.\n\nBesides the \"Indemnity\" scholars, about 100 of the Chinese students in the United States of America are supported by various provinces in China; and there are about 1,500 private students. The China Club of Seattle, in co-operation with the University of Washington and certain commercial and manufacturing firms, has inaugurated a scheme by which each firm will receive one Chinese student or more, and provide his tuition charges at the University and 600 dollars a year for his maintenance.\n\nWhen to these factors are added the powerful contribution of American missionary establishments in China, which, as Sir J. Jordan says, can always count upon receiving money for any new enterprise they may think desirable, some idea may be formed of the influence which America can exert in China through these channels. The following list of prominent alumni of St. John's College Shanghai (American) is significant: Wellington Koo, Chinese Minister in London; Alfred Sze, Chinese Minister in Washington; W. W. Yen, formerly Chinese Minister in Berlin; Dr. Y. T. Tsur, formerly president of the Tsing Hua College; Z. T. K. Woo, superintendent of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Works; S. C. Chu, general secretary of the Shanghai-Nanking Railway; Dr. H. L. Yen, secretary of the Board of Foreign Affairs; David Z. T. Yui, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A.; Yen Fu-ch'ing, dean of the medical faculty, Yale College, Changsha; W. Y. Hu, justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals, Peking.\n\nThe Rockefeller Foundation is giving a great impetus to medical education in China. The commission which visited the country in 1915, has recommended the opening of medical schools, the training of Chinese men and women for hospital work, and a system of pensions to allow missionaries on furlough in America to study medicine. This will all be financed by the Rockefeller Institute. Five scholarships of 300 dollars each have already been established for Chinese nurses. A medical institute has been erected in Peking at a cost of 6,000,000 dollars and amply endowed. Clearly, it will be difficult for Great Britain to compete with such munificence.\n\nFrance. The Société franco-chinoise d'Education (see Sir J. Jordan's despatch No. 40 of the 23rd January, 1920), was founded in 1914 to take the place of a former society of the same nature founded in 1911, which had already sent 200 students to France in 1912. The executive powers of the society are exercised by a Peking committee and a provincial committee, each consisting of French and Chinese members. The society maintains two schools in Peking, schools at Tien-tsin and Chengtu; and language courses at Pao Ting Fu and Shanghai. These schools prepare students for a further course in France. In 1919 (January–September) the society sent 300 students or artisans to France. These Chinese students must possess at least 300 dollars, and must count on having an income of 600 dollars to 1,000 dollars a year. However, the society makes arrangements for them to live in France as cheaply as possible. The most advanced are then placed in the technical schools: but usually they do one year's course in a factory. The least advanced are placed in a lycée or college to perfect their French. A journal in Chinese is published in Paris for their benefit. Other reports announce further projects on the part of the French.\n\n23\n\nstates that the French Government have invited 600 Chinese students to France and have offered to defray all their expenses. According to the British Engineering Standards Association, the French have a scheme for training 5,000 to 6,000 Chinese in France during the next few years, 800 already having arrived in French colleges. The Association also states that Italy is considering a similar policy. Newspaper reports have estimated that there are as many as 2,000 Chinese students now in France; and even a casual visitor to Paris cannot help being struck by the considerable number of young Chinese to be seen about the city.\n\nBy the Treaty of Versailles, article 134, Germany renounced in favour of the French and Chinese Governments conjointly the property of the German school situated in the French concession in Shanghai. This article in itself gave a considerable impetus to the cause of French education for Chinese; so we find a supplementary vote of 300,000 fr. in the 1920 budget assigned to the Shanghai school (see W814/814/17, memorandum on French policy with regard to propaganda in foreign countries). The \"Daily Mail\" of the 20th January, 1921, states that the French Government's contribution is 30,000 dollars (3,000l.), that the school will be jointly controlled by the Chinese and French Governments, both of which will provide for its annual maintenance expenses, estimated at 130,000 dollars (13,000l.). The \"North China Herald\" of the 4th December, 1920, further states that French manufacturers have allotted a sum of 2,000,000 fr. towards this school. So reports are contradictory as to the amount and origin of this endowment. With a staff of a dozen professors from the French universities and a similar number of Chinese instructors it is hoped to make this new institution a preparatory school for the French universities.\n\nBesides the vote for the Shanghai school, a sum of 1,072,625 fr. is allotted in the 1920 budget for propaganda in China (as compared with 115,000 fr. for Japan). The sums appropriated for propaganda in the Far East in 1919 and 1918 respectively were 1,000,000 fr. and 215,000 fr.\n\nBut still more significant was M. Painlevé's mission to Peking in the autumn of last year. Though M. Painlevé was nominally adviser to the Government Technical Board on the Standardisation of Railways, his main interest was evidently in education. His mission ended with the conclusion of an agreement by which the Chinese Government is to provide an annual subsidy of 4,000l. for the Institute des Hautes Études chinoises in Paris; they will also furnish a sum of 20,000l. a year for the creation of a branch of the university of Paris in one of the Chinese universities on the condition that the French Government supplies a similar amount. The President of China has given to France three copies of a reproduction of the four great Chinese classics.\n\nDuring his stay at Peking, M. Painlevé made the following statement (\"Far Eastern Review,\" August 1920): \"Already there exists in Paris an institute for advanced Chinese study, but it will be necessary for us to develop it in such a way that the youth of China shall come to it for study in increasing numbers. We purpose to make the curriculum at this institute so interesting that the powerful attraction which it will exercise on the minds of our young Asiatic friends will be simply irresistible. This course of study, which will comprise all the technical courses of our advanced commercial schools, will include, in addition, the study of English, since this language seems to be considered a necessary finishing touch to the equipment of every Chinese intellectual. Moreover, we intend to do something which has never occurred before to those at the head of any foreign institution of learning to teach, likewise, the history of Chinese culture in order to keep the students in touch with their own civilisation. Unlike other nations, we do not wish our Chinese students to lose the sentiment of their own nationality and become for ever Frenchified: we wish that they may remain Chinese, yet arrive, notwithstanding this, at a real realisation of the superiority which they gain by making themselves part of two civilisations, the oriental and the occidental.\n\nSo much for Paris. In China, our task will be far more arduous, because practically everything there tending to the attainment of the end which we have set ourselves must either be created out of the whole cloth or recreated. Our first task will be to establish at the universities of Peking, Canton and Shanghai, courses in\n\nIt is not without significance that twenty girl students are also being sent over by the Chinese Government to Paris. They will study medicine, law, science and art, and when they have graduated, they will return to China to found girls' schools and colleges on European lines. There are about four Chinese girl students in London, and two or three in Edinburgh.—(\"Daily Mail,\" February 2 and 8, 1921.)\n\n339",

W. Kew went into the accounts at considerable length, punctuating his questions with sarcasm and comment. Another shareholder, Mr. F. S. Harrison, also joined in. Mr. A. H. Rowe, managing director, gave most of the replies while Mr. H. Birkett (chairman) also answered Mr. Kew.\n\nBesides those mentioned, there were present Messrs. Sum Pak-ming, T. N. Chau (directors) and H. M. Kew, A. Nissim, C. A. Fulcher (shareholders).\n\nLast Year's Features.\n\nThe outstanding items in the report for the year ended April 30, 1926, are:-\n\n11 lakhs depreciation written off in 26 months.\n\n$40,000 profit last year instead of $46,000 loss, as result of farming out the fleet of taxis.\n\nConcessions obtained from the International and French settlements, Shanghai: 50 taxis will be sent up from Hongkong.\n\n...\n\nMr. Birkett observed that $15,000 for salaries and wages was not a big item for twelve months. Mr. Kew - \"No, when you say it slowly.\"\n\nIn Deep Water?\n\nMr. Kew said, \"The best course, take it from me, is to wind up before further trouble. This is a one man show, run for the benefit of Mr. Rowe.\"\n\nOn being accosted by a constable at Reclamation Street on Saturday night, a Chinese dropped a sack he was carrying and escaped. The sack contained eight revolvers and 800 rounds of ammunition.\n\n[No. 2995. July 22, 1926.\n\nCOMING HERE.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nThe Hongkong office of the Asiatic Petroleum Company have received information that the Marchese de Pinedo is shortly commencing a new flight from Pisa, Italy.\n\nIt will be remembered that Pinedo passed through Hongkong last October during his flight from Rome to Australia and Japan and back to Italy.\n\nFor his new flight Pinedo intends to use a seaplane and his route will cover 60,000 miles, as follows: From Pisa across Spain to Lisbon, thence by way of the Azores to Newfoundland and New York; from New York he will fly to Seattle and down the coast to San Diego and thence across country to New Orleans. 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. M. Johnson, of 17 Humphrey's Buildings, Kowloon, reports that while driving a motor car along Castle Peak Road on Saturday in the direction of Tsim Sha Tsui, a woman ran from the hillside and was caught by the fender, sustaining minor injuries. She refused to go to Hospital and was compensated.\n\nMr. M. Manuk returned to the Colony from Australia on Thursday by \"... Taiping\"\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nWELL DONE.\n\nJuly 19.\n\nThe bazaar which was recently held at the University in aid of the New Building Fund of St. Stephen's College resulted in a net profit of over $5,400. On this result, the students and all who helped in the organising are to be congratulated, and especially the Old Boy whom they invited to be Chairman - Mr. Chiu Ying-po.\n\nA room in the new school will be named after the 1926 Students in accordance with the privileges granted to subscribers to the New Building Fund.\n\nThe Committee wishes to thank the following patrons and Companies who kindly contributed to the bazaar:-\n\nPatrons: Mr. Sir Shou Son-chow, S.S.G.C.

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!\"",

        "content_text": "248\n\n24\n\nLAKE, NOT VALLEY.\n\nResidents' Anxious Night.\n\nResidents at Happy Valley and the neighbourhood spent an anxious night with the flood which commenced to rise shortly after midnight.\n\nThe race course this morning was transformed into a lake and a raging torrent of water brought down from the hills flowed between the Police and Craigengower Clubs.\n\nA miniature Niagara Falls was created near the old scene of damage below the Yeung Woo Nursing Home last year. The deep drain measuring 14 feet across, which was built to deal with the water from the hills, was completely covered with mud and sand. Two waterfalls were seen later in the morning when the water flowed across the road into the drain and again from there to the race track.\n\nMore Confusion.\n\nBehind the Jockey Club stand, the Protestant Cemetery wall gave way for a considerable distance and the earth brought down with the torrent filled the premises to a depth of several feet. Cement boulders which lined the side of the course behind the small ticket office were bodily removed and placed on the course. Slabs of granite brought from the road were seen everywhere on the race track and inside the football grounds. What was left of a tea booth was seen against a portion of the race track railing. Flower pots which adorned the track edge were taken away by the flood together with the bank on which they stood.\n\nBridge Threatened.\n\nIt will take several weeks of toil to remove the mountain of sand and mud on the premises and race track. At the Craigengower Club, the water just reached the door and furniture left in the verandah was carried away and a part of it was recovered this morning. Garden furniture at the top of the granite boulders being washed away down the nullah, could be heard and a retaining wall threatening from above sounded like ominous explosions.\n\nSTORM VICTIMS.\n\n(No. 2998. July 22, 1926.\n\nin the direction of Hongkong, although it is thought that it may curve northwards in the direction of Swatow before it arrives here.\n\nThe rescue tug was to be observed with steam up and ready for emergency this morning and the funneless H.M.S. \"Ambrose,\" undergoing its annual overhaul was moved to the buoy for greater security.\n\nPolice Quarters Struck.\n\nThe chimney of Acting Chief Inspector Aris's quarters at the Police quarters in Caine Road was struck in the early hours of this morning and considerable debris fell inside the house. As the remaining portion of the chimney is considered to be in a dangerous condition, the quarters in question have had to be vacated.\n\nOLD MEMORIES.\n\nThat memorable flood of May, 1889, exceeded to-day's violence. Mr. Yee Cheong, the portrait painter whose studio is next door to the \"China Mail\" was an eyewitness.\n\nHe maintains that the torrents of water, which swept down Wyndham Street were even greater 37 years ago.\n\nAs to-day, clubs were reduced to useless wood. He said, the rain \"scraped out all the loose mud of the higher levels and deposited them in the flat streets. It took months to clear the mess,\"\n\nCraigengower collapsed and the masonry portion of the bridge started at this spot was swept away by the torrent flowing into the Bowrington Canal, a portion of the road at the end of the bridge near the Tramway offices opposite the Roman Catholic Cathedral was washed away.\n\nMr. Yee Cheong also says that the storm flood started at almost the same hour as that of the previous storm flood.\n\nThe railway track of the Sang Lee contractors on the other side of the canal also suffered considerable damage by the foundations being washed away.\n\nFACTORY IN DANGER\n\nThe paper mill at Aberdeen (Tai Shing Paper Mill Co.) is reported to be in danger owing to the private reservoir at the top of the building having been carried away.\n\nJuly 19. Two well-known members of the South China Athletic Association, Messrs. Ho Ka-lau and Yew Man-kit, who went out for a row on Saturday afternoon had a narrow escape from death as a result of the squall which sprang up towards six o'clock.\n\nThe boat was near Cust Rocks when caught in the squall and rowing became very difficult. The two occupants eventually determined to conserve their energy and let the boat drift and fortunately the set of the current was towards Kowloon Bay instead of the numerous rocks in the neighbourhood. They were able to reach the shore and after sheltering for a time in a farmer's house they arrived at Kowloon City.\n\nBy Courtesy of Wah Tsz Yat Po\n\nChinese cruiser \"Hai Yung\" which was to have left for Pratas yesterday at 1 p.m. with Hongkong officials aboard is still in harbour, wireless messages having been exchanged between the vessel and Pratas as a result of which it was decided that it would be dangerous to attempt to make the shoal for the present.\n\nThe typhoon had not, at the time of the message, reached Pratas but seas were very high and wind force 5 and increasing.\n\nPreliminary arrangements are that the party which is to witness the inauguration of the wireless station on the shoal will leave on Tuesday next.\n\nA village at Kowloon city, entirely inundated, with the top of a desolate matshed showing.\n\nreats both here and at the other er 37 years ago.\n\nTHE TYPHOON.\n\nJuly 17,\n\nIf the typhoon does not diverge from its present path it is expected here on Sunday.\n\nThe American Consulate received the following from Manila last night:-\n\n6.55 p.m.. July 16.-Cyclone in Lat. 19deg. N., Long. 119deg. E.. moving N.W.\n\na.m.\n\nLater.\n\n8.30\n\n17th, typhoon in about 116deg. Long. E.. 20deg. lat. N., moving W.N.W.\n\nThis morning in the harbour there were indications of anticipations of the arrival of the typhoon which is slowly moving towards the Colony from the East.\n\nNo. 1 signal gave place to No. 4 signal which means that the gale is likely to come towards the Colony from the East.\n\nNo. 2998. July 22, 1926.]\n\nTHE AFTERMATH.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA\n\nJuly 20\n\nWith the Peak isolated and the only means of access to Repulse Bay via the Aberdeen Road (even this has to be negotiated very carefully); with mud inches deep everywhere in the main thoroughfares and in banks where it has been removed for transit purposes, Hongkong has still much besides the memory of its severity to remind it of the terrific storm which raged on Sunday night and Monday morning,\n\nMuch, however, has been accomplished as a result of gangs of men working under supervision until a late hour last night and early this morning. A tram service to the King Edward Hotel was possible first thing this morning and later in the day a restricted service to all districts was run. The Roads Department is concentrating on the clearance of the main highways and is able to promise provisional clearances very shortly.\n\nStubbs Road.\n\nStubbs Road and Magazine Gap Road have suffered more than any others, Stubbs Road more particularly between Bowen Road and Morrison Hill Road. Here, there are numerous landslides the worst slip being where the sand shooting goes across. This will require the clearing of enormous quantities of earth and rock but it is hoped by Friday to get a passage sufficient to enable cars or \"buses to negotiate Stubbs Road.\n\nMagazine Gap Road.\n\nIn the case of most of the other roads it is expected that provisional arrangements will be made which will enable the passage of traffic within a few days. Magazine Gap Road at one part is breached to its full width and it will be necessary to erect temporarily a bridge. The Peak Road is also partly breached in one place. The only means of access to the Peak, in fact, is by negotiating on foot the old Peak Road and Wanchai Gap Road, in the case of the latter some nasty gaps having to be negotiated.\n\nBefore the Aberdeen portion of the road was cleared sufficiently to allow of traffic the footpath from the Peak to Pokfulam was used by some residents who took car as far as Pokfulam and walked up via the reservoir.\n\nRepulse Bay Road.\n\nGood progress has already been made in clearing the new road to Repulse Bay from Bowen Road onwards. This is very largely clear. There are numerous slips in the neighbourhood of Shaukiwan but it is anticipated that the whole of the round-the-island road will be open by the end of the week.\n\n('aime Road.\n\nThe lower portion of Caine Road is closed to traffic by the subsidence of the bank near the Roman Catholic Cathedral and the opening out of the road through the Cathedral grounds, which accounted for the flooding of Wyndham Street through Glenealy. It is now possible to go through Glenealy as far as Caine Road, by chair or on foot.\n\nA large gang were at work this morning clearing the obstruction at Caine Road. A stream of water which still flowed from the hill has now been diverted into the side channel of Arbuthnot Road.\n\nThe easiest way to reach Caine Road at present is for motorists to proceed up Garden Road as far as the Peak tram station. Then Tower\n\nPhoto by Yong Ming.\n\nMAIL\n\nREPULSE BAY CONDITIONS.\n\nthis morning.\n\n25\n\nAbout 85 bags of mail coming from foreign countries were damaged in the cellars of the Post Office. Most of the mail came from Singapore, Seattle, and the Straits.\n\nParticulars as to the plight of Repulse Bay residents not available yesterday on account of their being virtually marooned have since been received. At 3 a.m. on the night, or rather the morning, of the storm, the water rushed down the hills with terrific force and swept through the big dining room of the Hotel, carrying all before it. The upper level districts were deprived of their daily mail due to lack of transportation.\n\nResidents in the Peak and the staff were early on the scene but until practically powerless to save the carpets and furniture from being damaged. At eight o'clock yesterday morning the lower floors and passages were flooded to within five inches of water, and with the kitchens under water breakfast was part of the dining room floor has sunk badly and it looks as though it will be some time before the former polished surface will be regained.\n\nThe \"President Madison\" and the \"Empress of Russia,\" tried all roads at an early hour, were scheduled to arrive in Hongkong last Sunday, The Shaukiwan Road was obstructed yesterday afternoon.\n\nLooking along Des Voeux Road Central, on July 19, eastwards, along the Hongkong Hotel front and the new Realty building, with Alexandra Building on the left. The mud and height of the flood left visible marks on the surroundings.\n\nAlbert Road, along Wyndham Street past the Dairy Farm to the Central Police Station, and up Arbuthnot Road. The junction at Caine Road has now been sufficiently cleared for both up and down traffic through Arbuthnot Road.\n\nKowloon Roads.\n\nWith regard to Kowloon, both the coastal and Taipo Roads are closed, the worst slips being the other side of Tsin Wan. Two bridges have been carried away. Temporary bridges will be erected and it is expected to make provisional arrangements for passage of traffic by the end of the week.\n\ned by landslides which made passage impossible, and the new road to Hongkong was found to have a gaping hole halfway across the road just at the top of the hill leading to Repulse Bay.\n\nTHE POST OFFICE.\n\nThe General Post-Office was arrived only\n\nThe delay was due to the typhoon which the liners encountered.\n\nby\n\nPRINTERS LOSS.\n\nDamage of $10,000 was suffered by the Ye Olde Printerie Ltd.\n\nwhose establishment is located at the basement of the China Building.\n\nThe damaged goods consisted mostly of cover papers, art papers, and coloured papers and machinery, approximately valued at $10,000.\n\nThe damaged goods are only insured against fire but not against water. The Fire Brigade was called to the scene to pump the water and which was over 4 ft. deep.\n\nat the time of going to press, the Brigade was still at work.\n\nMED-\n\nIt will probably take the management over a week to clear the place from water and debris, and to completely resume business.\n\nWANCHAI DISTRICT.\n\nIn the long list of damage in the Wanchai district no one is reported to have been killed or injured as a direct result of the flood.\n\nA Chinese electrician was taken to hospital yesterday with injuries received in a fall from the first floor verandah of a house at Stone Nullah lane. He was repairing an electric light wire by leaning over the verandah and fell to the ground on receiving a shock.\n\nBAY VIEW DISTRICT.\n\nA feature of the damage in the Bay View district was the disappearance of the market at Tai Hang village. The structure, about 100 feet long and standing on stone pillars, is stated to have been carried away by the flood.\n\nThe assistance of the Fire Brigade was obtained to pump out the water. They worked from 2 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. but owing to the numerous calls on the services of the Brigade they had to abandon the work and resume it after the water had subsided there.\n\nWhen",

Further demand from Yunnan has kept our market firm with an improving tendency.\n\nBombay: The rates in Bombay have also strengthened on account of Bombay mills being reported to have done fairly large forward business up to September and latest quotations show higher prices than those ruling in our market.\n\nTotal Sales 4,500 bales.

When the power of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek increased, and the hopes of the reactionaries faded further and further into the distance, General Li's independence dwindled; and the Nationalist Government appears now to consider him to be a staunch Kuomintang adherent, as his name appears among the Provincial Commissioners for Kwang-tung, whose appointment was reported in my secret despatch of the 26th May, 1927. He is commander of the 5th Nationalist Army.\n\n2. A memorandum of the interview is enclosed. I am disposed to think that General Li's presence in Hong Kong had the accidental character which he attributes to it, and it is a fact that \"Master James Lee\", the son of General Li, left for Seattle yesterday in the s.s. President Grant under the care of Dr. and Mrs. Cadbury of the Lingnam University at Canton, with whose family he is to be brought up in the United States of America. But General Li's mention of the country property of his former ally General Ngai Pong-peng may be of greater significance than appears at first sight. Rumours of a disaster to the new \"Northern Expedition\" against the Communists in Hunan and Kiangsi grow in strength, and forces appear to have been withdrawn from the protection of Canton and even from such notoriously \"red\" areas as the East River and the Luichow peninsula. It may be that General Li is exploring the possibilities of Hong Kong.\n\n* C. 30001/27 C. [No. 12]: not printed. † Not printed.\n\n+ \n49",

Alfred Holt & Co. of Liverpool, who are the Managers of the China Mutual Steam Navigation Company to which the s.s \"Ixion\" belongs.\n\nThe reports of the Captain and other officers of the vessel showed that the opium was found by the American Customs (who seemed to be in possession of previous information in regard to it) under the floor of the anchor chain locker buried under about 120 fathoms of cable, weighing 20 tons, which had to be removed before the opium could be reached. As only thirty fathoms of cable had been paid out at any one time since the last yearly survey of the vessel at Hongkong in February last (the surreptitious removal of the chain would have been impossible as the necessary operations are extremely noisy and shake the vessel from stem to stern) it is clear that the opium had lain concealed since before February, and it appears probable that it had been placed on board whilst the vessel was in dry dock in Hongkong for the last survey.\n\nAdequate precautions seem to be taken by the\n\nColonel L.G. Nutt.\n\nChina/\n\n60\n\nCorrected version in HTML as per the instructions:\n\n1. '39th June' is corrected to '30th June' as June has only 30 days.\n2. 'fathon' is corrected to 'fathoms' to correct the plural form.\n3. 'laid' is corrected to 'lain' as 'lain' is the correct past participle of 'lie'. \n\nNo other changes were made as per the given instructions.",

It lost its position as a seaport merely because of the ignorance of the Chinese people. Since the Republic was founded, the people have become awakened and there have been proposed many plans to make Canton a seaport. This has made the Hong Kong Government be on its guard; it tries its best to frustrate all such plans. If Canton becomes a world port, Hong Kong will not be a port of call any more. However, if Canton is developed and China prosperous, there will certainly be other things which will benefit Hong Kong to a far greater extent than its present position as the only seaport of poor undeveloped South China.\n\nFor instance, Victoria, B.C. was at one time the only seaport of West Canada and North-West U.S.A. At the time the interior areas of these places were not yet developed and it received very little benefit. Later, Vancouver, Seattle and Tacoma became its rivals. The distance between any of these and Victoria is about the same as that between Hong Kong and Canton. Inland developments brought prosperity to all the seaports including Victoria. So, there can be no doubt that the development of Kwang Tung and the prosperity of China cannot do any harm to Hong Kong remaining as a free port. Further, the development of Canton and South China will benefit the trade of the British Empire one hundred times more than Hong Kong now does. Although the authorities of the said Colony have not the foresight, but I believe that",

H.M. Government at that time were unable to give official approval to the scheme inasmuch as they feared it would be regarded as a provocative act by Japan, ostensibly for the purpose of supplying munitions to China. This in spite of the fact that the main object behind the establishment of such a factory was to provide a source from which aeroplanes could be supplied to the Air Force of Great Britain or the Dominions in a shorter space of time than could be guaranteed by factories in this country, Canada, or the United States, and at a lesser cost. I was given to understand that H.E. The Governor of Hongkong had consulted Air-Marshall Sir Edward Ellington before forwarding his despatch on the subject and that, as far as the Air Ministry was concerned, the idea would probably be looked upon with favour. \n\nTo the ordinary civilian, the need for further sources of supply of aircraft appears as urgent now as it did some months ago, and my object in writing is to ask whether there is any prospect of the Colonial Office decision of last June being reviewed in the light of recent happenings. The gateway, Hongkong/Canton, has to all intents and purposes been closed, so possibly the objection formerly advanced no longer holds? \n\nMight I call on you for an informal discussion? I have an appointment at the Foreign Office at 11 a.m. on Friday,",

Pawley and our Senior, Mr. Stanley H. Dodwell, had some unofficial conversations with certain members of the Government and Air Force officials on this side, but it was not till early in 1938 that H.E. The Governor of Hongkong addressed his first despatches to The Colonial Office on the subject.\n\nIt appears to have been assumed that the main, or sole, object of establishing a factory in Hongkong territory was in order to supply the Chinese Government with military aircraft. This however was by no means the idea of those who were prepared to sponsor and finance the scheme. The demand for aircraft, not only in this country but in the Dominions also, was (and still is, I understand) in excess of available sources of supply. The sponsors satisfied themselves that they would be in a position to:-\n\n(a) Raise the requisite capital.\n\n(b) Acquire a suitable site with the permission of the Hongkong Government.\n\n(c) Obtain the machinery, tools and jigs necessary for the assembly and construction of certain well-known types of American aircraft, if not ...\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61",

Alternative emergency studios and controls for broadcasting were also equipped but not required.\n\n(9)\n\nThe main receiving station was at the top of the Peak, a hill immediately behind the city. Received signals were put over lines to the telegraph offices in town and there received by telegraphists. Received programmes for rebroadcasting were put through to the studios.

Evacuated, together with Kai Tak upon instructions from the Postmaster General. Control of marine transmitters transferred to G.P.O. Most of the receivers removed to Hung Hom, transmitting station for transport across the harbour to Hong Kong. Much difficulty and delay were experienced in obtaining transport from the Observatory to Hung Hom.\n\nHung Hom\n\nDecember 8th. Operating satisfactorily under war conditions.\n\nDecember 10th. It was decided late today to transfer immediately one of the medium-wave broadcasting transmitters, ZEK, to Hong Kong island to a building which was being prepared for it at Causeway Bay, although the building was not yet ready. Dismantling of ZEK was commenced, and cross-harbour transport arranged.\n\nDecember 11th\n\nPage 9\n\nIques tuned by Momi\n\nThis and was given to understand that the guards in question were Indian regator Props\n\n6327.\n\n-3-\n\nDecember 11th. Machine gun fire reported reaching Hung Hom station. ZEK dismantling completed and equipment loaded into a lighter at the harbour edge. For safety it was decided to tow it across after dark. In the meantime the Chinese broadcast programme, normally transmitted by ZEK, was handled by a small emergency transmitter which had been installed on Kennedy Road in Hong Kong (q.v.). For further account of ZEK, see under \"Causeway Bay\".\n\nDecember 12th. Hung Hom station evacuated on instructions from the Postmaster General, the equipment being partly wrecked by the staff before leaving. It was understood that the masts and the station's stand-by generating plant would be demolished by the military authorities.\n\nThis was not done). Most of the Chinese staff had already disappeared and the European station technician, Mr. J.L. Anderson, had great difficulty in getting across the harbour to Hong Kong in a sampan.\n\nCauseway Bay\n\nDecember 11th. During the night of December 11th, the equipment comprising broadcasting, ZEK was towed across the harbour from Hung Hom. This gave some difficulty for neither light nor sound was permissible with fire from snipers (fifth column) coming across the harbour occasionally.\n\nDecember 12th. ZEK equipment being unloaded on to the Hong Kong wharf. This work was abandoned by the work-party during the morning when it came under fire from the opposite side of the harbour. They reported to me that the lighter had been cut adrift by the Chinese in a panic. I recovered the lighter late in the afternoon after having to indulge in the dangerous expedient of climbing over high walls to get into \"Protected Places\" whose guards had fled after locking up all doors and entrances. Contrary to expectation, I was not shot at during this procedure, as I should have been by our own patrols. I returned later with a special armed police guard for the lighter for the night.\n\nIt was now dark, and I observed what was, apparently, two-way fifth column signalling going on fairly freely across the harbour.\n\nDecember 13th. Offloading of ZEK resumed, and later again abandoned. I again proceeded to the wharf myself and completed the offloading. No road transport was available but a lorry which was found to be temporarily unoccupied was appropriated, and the radio transmitter finally delivered to its site at Causeway Bay. Erection of the equipment was put in hand immediately and continued non-stop until it was completed, with a short break when the work was once more abandoned this time due to heavy shell fire but personal attendance again restored confidence.\n\nAn aerial\n\nPage 9\n\nPage 9\n\n-4-\n\n10\n\nVI.\n\nAn aerial had to be rigged after dark, as working aloft in full view of firing from across the harbour was too risky.\n\nDecember 14th. Installation of plant completed and power tests commenced by evening.\n\nDecember 15th. Evening programme transmitted from this station. Transmission draws enemy fire and the station becomes an objective for their shelling. This station will now transmit the European programme while the Chinese programme is transmitted from Kennedy Road.\n\nDecember 16th. Evening programme missed by this station because in late afternoon a shell damaged the control lines from the studios.\n\nDecember 17th. P.W.D. unable to promise early restoration of damaged cables. Steps therefore taken to establish local control at the station itself. A dance-band microphone and amplifier were requisitioned from a cafe and installed together with a gramophone turntable as \"studio control equipment\" in the engine-room. An announcer was brought by car with a supply of records, and the programme was radiated on time. As I was anxious not to miss the usual broadcast of Daventry news, which was considered very desirable for local morale, I installed a short-wave receiver taken from my own residence in a near-by Chinese building and ran a line from it to the transmitter through the trees. As shelling was heavy and the Chinese building rather flimsy, the technician controlling the receiver had to lie on the floor while he controlled the retransmission, which was made satisfactorily to time.\n\nShortly after this the station had to be abandoned when it was reached by the Japanese front line, but transmission was satisfactory up to that time. Shells had fallen all around and very near, but the building had not been hit.\n\nKennedy Road.\n\n1. This was a small broadcast transmitter which I had installed on the Island before the outbreak of hostilities in a \"hidden\" position for use in case of emergency. It was of the greatest use during hostilities, taking over the whole programmes during the period between the evacuation of Hung Hom and the working of Causeway Bay station. Later it transmitted a Chinese programme while Causeway Bay transmitted the European one. When access to Causeway Bay became no longer possible, Kennedy Road was our last and only broadcasting station.\n\n2. This station also came under direct shelling from the Japanese whenever it started transmitting after the first few days. The building received several direct hits, but fortunately the apparatus escaped much damage. The aerial was twice shot away, but I was able to repair this with a volunteer party at dusk. Mr. T.B. Rolland and Mr. Pun (Chinese) accompanied me on this work which was then\n\n/was then\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11",

When the shelling was particularly severe, a technician would start up the apparatus and depart quickly, returning to shut down at the end of the programme. This was satisfactory because there was no protection, and most of the non-European staff flatly refused to go near the place.\n\n3. It is interesting to note that the Japanese (Major Asano) later claimed to me that they had put this station out of action by gunfire. This was not correct. The station was kept on the air right up to the time when it had to shut down owing to the final failure of the electricity supply. It is possible that I could have kept this station on the air right up to the time of the occupation if emergency generating plant which I had ordered for it had not been subjected to such abnormal delay that I had not received it.\n\nVII. STUDIOS\n\n1. From the cessation of broadcasting, at Kennedy Road to the day of the occupation, a programme of music and the Daventry news programmes were transmitted by local power from the studios to Government House by line. Mr. A.T. Lay, programme secretary, played the piano for some of these final transmissions.\n\n2. The broadcasting studios and control rooms in Gloucester Building remained relatively undisturbed throughout the hostilities.\n\n3. A public address system of ten loudspeakers distributed in various densely populated districts of Hong Kong and Kowloon, and controlled from the studios, could not be made use of on account of the early disorganisation of these outlying districts.\n\nVIII. CAPE D'AGUILAR\n\nDecember 8th. Operating satisfactorily under war conditions, but the routine motor-car which normally ran daily to carry food and urgent engineering requirements to this station failed without warning from the very first day.\n\nDecember 10th. Managed to get a car and some food down to D'Aguilar.\n\nDecember 12th.\n\nArrived home in small hours of the morning after transport of ZEK across the harbour and found Naval authorities requiring control of several Cape D'Aguilar transmitters. Gave necessary instructions, which were not properly carried out. Proceeded to job (3.00 a.m.) and effected change-over.\n\nDecember 13th. Confirmed Naval control of three of our transmitters. They were preparing to blow up their transmitters on Stonecutters Island when a Japanese shell did it.\n\nDecember 17th. Station working satisfactorily. This station was run periodically from its own emergency generating plant during failure of the public supply.\n\nDecember 18th.",

        "content_text": "December 18th. The Engineer-in-Charge at Cape D'Aguilar, Mr. F.K. Garton, telephoned to say that the military forces manning the guns there were \"running off the station\", and he asked for information. The Postmaster General telephoned to Military Headquarters who said that D'Aguilar was being evacuated but they had forgotten to tell us. They said that our staff should obtain transport from the military people there. This information was passed on to Mr. Garton. He telephoned again a little later to say that he could not get any assistance at all from the military people, but that he had obtained a car and, after destroying as much as possible of the plant, he would proceed to town with his European assistant (Mr. A.V. Harbottle), his wife and a female Chinese servant. The Chinese staff were told to disperse. Mr. Garton had no information as to what route to follow or to avoid. His car was ambushed at Wongneichong Gap, his wife was killed, and the Chinese amah badly wounded.\n\nOn the loss of the D'Aguilar transmitters, two small ship-type transmitters were found in a local depot, and a quick search made for a suitable central location in which to install them. The telephone company agreed to let us have a supply from their generators if required and the adjacent building of Marina House was therefore chosen. The transmitters and receivers were installed and on or about December 20th communication was re-established with Chunking and Manila. Aerials again proved an awkward problem, for anyone going on the roof during daylight was promptly shot at.\n\nThese transmitters and receivers worked satisfactorily up to the time of the occupation, working from the telephone company's supply after the public supply had failed.\n\nIX. PEAK RECEIVING STATION\n\n1. This station came under casual fire early on, but was not much interfered with until about December 16th when it came under very heavy shelling. The military officer in charge of an observation post in the station grounds told the Engineer-in-Charge, Mr. H.S. Rees, to evacuate. Rees asked me for instructions, and I consulted the Postmaster General, who rang up Military Headquarters. They said that the Peak was \"the safest place to be in\". However, in view of the very heavy shelling of the site, the refusal of the Chinese staff to stay, the flimsy nature of the single-storey building and the repeated injunctions of the military officers there to evacuate immediately, it was not considered reasonable to ask Mr. Rees to remain. A few receivers were got down to town from this station but not much could be done as there was no transport and the approaches to the station were also being heavily shelled.\n\nNote: A Chinese technician who managed to get through to the station next day reported that the building was badly damaged from several direct hits and the site covered by shell craters. I confirmed this myself after the occupation.\n\n2. When the...",

When the Peak Station was evacuated, receiving stations were set up in a French missionary Building near town working from the electricity supply mains and also in case of failure of supply in the basement of the Gloucester Building working from batteries. Transmission lines were run through the trees. In less than one day Mr. Rees had these stations working and handling their proper traffic. In particular, no retransmission of Daventry news was missed. The missionary building station continued in use until the public supply failed, and the Gloucester basement until the occupation.\n\nX.

Head Office control and direction of organisation was maintained at the G.P.O. until that building was evacuated about 19th December, when it was moved across to the Gloucester Building, where we installed ourselves on floors or wherever we could find a space to work, eat and sleep.\n\n2. Transport and food control broke down on the very first day of hostilities. It was difficult to keep non-European staff together at first, when some of them and their families had no food for several days. I appointed some of my own staff to obtain food by whatever means they could, and although they were very successful afterwards it unavoidably took them some days to work out suitable methods.\n\n3. I obtained a car and driver from the Auxiliary Transport Service on 9th December but the Chinese driver would not face the travelling which soon took us through areas of heavy shelling and after a few days he abandoned the work. I was able, however, to carry on with my own car. The department radio van early received a direct hit and was disintegrated into the surrounding trees. Fortunately no one was in it at the time.\n\n4. The behaviour of the staff generally was somewhat uneven, especially the non-Europeans, but with few exceptions they responded to suitable encouragement when inclined to falter.\n\n5. The organisation of my sub-department was based on a flexibility designed to meet unexpected situations as they might arise rather than on any cut and dried plans. I believe that this proved to be the best and that we were able to render the maximum services possible under difficult circumstances.\n\nXVI. OCCUPATION\n\nOn 25th December I was informed by the Postmaster General that the Colony had capitulated, and all remaining services ceased. On 26th December keys were handed over to the Japanese (Major Asano) in the studio waiting room. I had received instructions from the Hon. Colonial Secretary through the Postmaster General to give information and assistance which might be requested by the Japanese so long as it did not conflict with the Allied war effort.\n\nXVII POST OCCUPATION\n\n1. Several conferences were held by Major Asano with the Postmaster General and myself in which our cooperation was requested to re-establish broadcasting. Major Asano had a competent staff of his own.\n\n2. One consequence was that the small transmitter was transferred from Kennedy Road to the Gloucester Building and subsequently operated by the Japanese as JPHA. The transfer was carried out by my staff and was subjected to considerable delay.\n\n/In fact.",

My staff did not repair the short-wave broadcasting transmitter in Kowloon. I visited it with Major Asano and estimated two months for repairs. We could have had it working in a week or two. The Japanese had it partly working, on much reduced power, in precisely two months.\n\n4. Later I was examined by Captain Tanaka in charge of Japanese radio telegraphs (not broadcasting). He required transmitters at D'Aguilar to be repaired. I spent some time examining the plant and making out reports on what was missing. Some of the short-wave transmitters I found were only little damaged. I was able to render them more effectively damaged and more difficult to repair despite the fact that I was under the surveillance of Japanese officers. After some time I was confronted with a squad of Japanese technical assistants and ordered to have a certain transmitter working within a few days. I demurred and in an interview with Captain Tanaka I succeeded in getting myself laid off from this work. I did nothing further for the Japanese, and I ascertained later that they were never able to get a single one of our transmitters at Cape D'Aguilar to function. In the end they brought down two of their own from Shanghai.\n\n5. During this period I was kept interned, with some restricted liberty of movement, in the Gloucester Building, with the Postmaster General and six of my staff. The Hon. F.C. Gimson, Colonial Secretary; Mr. (now Sir Grenville) Alabaster, Attorney General; Mr. R.A.C. North, Secretary for Chinese Affairs, and four of my staff were kept in the nearby Prince's Building. Those from Prince's Building were sent into the internment camp at Stanley some time in March and the remainder of us on 14th April, 1942.\n\n6. A small amount of money was given to us by Major Asano when the Kennedy Road transmitter was moved, but beyond this and one bag of rice, we received neither money nor food from the Japanese during the three and a half months we were kept in the Gloucester Building. We considered it our duty, however, to keep ourselves out of the Camp for as long as possible in order to do what we could to obstruct the Japanese war effort and to assist our own. Our funds and food were on the point of exhaustion in mid-April when the Japanese decided to move us into the concentration camp at Stanley.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nR.
