However, given the constraints and the nature of the input, I'll follow the guidelines to provide a corrected version.\n\n## Step 1: Identify and Correct Spelling Errors\nThe text contains numerous spelling errors, non-English words, and characters. Correcting these while preserving the original word count and order is essential.\n\n## Step 2: Fix Spacing Issues and Rejoin Broken Sentences\nThe input text lacks proper spacing and contains broken sentences. Removing extra spaces, adding missing ones, and correcting hyphenation or line-break artifacts is necessary.\n\n## Step 3: Restore Paragraph Breaks and Indicate Missing Words\nThe text seems to be a mix of unrelated phrases and words. Restoring paragraph breaks where logical and indicating missing words with `...` if necessary.\n\n## Step 4: Format in Markdown and Adhere to Specific Rules\nThe output should be formatted in Markdown. Given the disjointed nature of the text, applying Markdown formatting for headers, bold text, and tables where applicable is required.\n\n## Step 5: Address Specific Requirements\n- File references should not have spaces inside parentheses.\n- Page numbering should be preserved if detected.\n- No translation of text.\n- Reorder newspaper texts if necessary.\n- Correct table data formatting.\n\nGiven the input text is highly fragmented and doesn't form coherent sentences or paragraphs, and considering the rules provided:\n\n10% \n\nツ \n\nAna Mo \n\nof the 2010 \n\n• ponding draft upon \n\nvar flav \n\nYeah. \n\n-22 12 \n\n227 مریم \n\nufion \n\nthe available · \n\nof the Voter \n\nBut his Sonshift \n\nof the 18\" Septer \n\nFla.

At some stations, like, for instance, the Australian Colonies, all victualling stores are certainly supplied by the Commissariat for naval purposes; but the issues are confined to perhaps two or three small vessels in the course of a year, and conducted under the Commissariat regulations, which are drawn up with reference to military authority alone; while at this station there are now one line of battle-ship, one frigate, three war-steamers, four or five sloops of war, a store-ship, and one for hospital purposes, with a naval Commander-in-chief, who, together with the Lords of the Admiralty, might not in transactions of such magnitude and importance as must thus arise, like to depend altogether upon any department not under their own immediate authority and control.\n\nI have, &c.

Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s office and godowns; and they seemed to have had a good many friends who cried out sufficiently loudly on the injustice of condemning innocent men to death to induce Sir John Bowring to give the men a second trial before himself and the Executive Council.\n\nAfter a lengthened examination of witnesses during two days, we are informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe Governor has, however, in deference to popular clamor, seen fit to remit the punishment of death.\n\nBoth in the new trial and in the commutation of punishment, Sir John Bowring has acted in an exceedingly improper manner.\n\nHer Majesty has instituted an Order of Valor to be called the \"Victoria Cross,\" which is only to be conferred during acts of signal bravery before the enemy.\n\nAs to the trial, we have said that we have been informed by eye witnesses that the guilt of the men was, if anything, made more apparent.\n\nThe fire on board the Fiery Cross made such speedy work with the coin that Captain Thoms has to regret the loss of the whole of his cabin furniture and clothes.\n\nThe mail to 11th February is very strong as to the peace congress in Paris, and that is the sum of the news--all else is \"leather and prunella.\"\n\nThe Levant, of 382 tons, for Australia, formerly an American (U. S.) vessel but now flying the Hawaiian flag, was seized by orders of Sir James Stirling for a breach of the Chinese Passenger Act.\n\nThe offence committed is that she had not the requisite papers from the Emigration Officer.\n\nIf she had 320 passengers on board, as stated, she also committed a breach in carrying an excess of passengers.\n\nBut, in addition, she has no ship's papers--all of which, or even two of which, may be considered a good ground for proceeding to the utmost extremity of the law--forfeiture of the ship, and fine and imprisonment of the parties engaged.\n\nBut then arises the question--What are the passengers to do?\n\nWe have heard it stated that the charterer, or owner, or whatever character he holds, has received from 30,000 to 35,000 dollars for passage money, while it is asserted that the value of the ship at the outside is not 10,000.\n\nIt is not an agreeable position for the government to find themselves in, having deprived 320 men of their passage of the value of 30,000 say, and to find themselves with only 10,000 towards reinstating the unfortunate wretches in their former position.\n\nIt looks to us as if the \"Chinese Passenger Act\" is bad, or that it is badly administered; perhaps a little of both, but most likely more of the latter.\n\nIn the first place, the supervision of the ship is not compulsory on the part of the Government.\n\nSecondly, it is only to begin on the application of the Captain to the Emigration Officer.\n\nWas it not advisable to have interfered earlier?\n\nWe desire the death of no man, but so long as the statute book affixes death as the punishment of the highest order of crimes, so long ought these crimes to be punished with death.\n\nAnd we know no greater crime than that of armed gang robbery, where the life of the defenders of property is taken.\n\nIn the case of the Levant, the vessel came into harbor on 16th March, was laid on for passengers, and even when seized on the 23rd ultimo, had been given to the Emigration Officer.\n\nPROCLAMATION.\n\nJOHN BOWRING.\n\nGovernor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.\n\nThe Sentence of Death recorded against Wong-AKUT, convicted of murder at the last Criminal Session of the Supreme Court, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; the Sentence of Death passed on Chan-Wah-Kong, Tam-Kut-Heng, Lo-Ah, Cha-Anboon, and Luk-AuH, also convicted at the above Sessions of the same crime, is commuted to that of Transportation for Life; and a Free Pardon is granted to Tam-AKUT, similarly convicted on the same occasion.\n\nBy His Excellency's Command\n\nW. T. MERCER,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nGOD SAVE THE QUEEN.\n\nGiven at Victoria, Hongkong, this 26th Day of March, 1856.\n\nLately there have been numerous desertions from the ranks of the 59th Regiment, and many more would doubtless have occurred and the means of getting from the island been as direct as they were when we had more whale-ship recruiting here than we have lately had.\n\nIt being suspected that a number of deserters were secreted on board the American whaler Canton Packet, Inspector Jarman with a party of police proceeded on board that vessel on the evening of the 27th, when nine were ferreted out of their hiding places.\n\nAbout three o'clock yesterday morning, it was noticed that the steamer P&O'slun, which has been lying here for the last five months undergoing extensive repairs, was on fire.\n\nTHE PUBLIC SCHOOL.\n\nThe Annual General Meeting of the Subscribers to the new Public School was held in the Agricultural Society's room on the 24th ultimo.\n\nA Statement showing the Progress and Attendance at \"St. Andrew's School,\" during the year 1855-6.\n\nApril ........ 16\n\nMay ........ 30\n\nJune ........ 36\n\nJuly ........ 38\n\nAugust ....... 37\n\nSeptember ..... 35\n\nOctober ...... 33\n\nNovember ..... 32\n\nDecember ..... 30\n\nJanuary ...... 28\n\nFebruary ..... 26\n\nMarch ....... 25\n\nTotal ....... 62\n\nAverage Attendance 16\n\nPresent: Messrs.

I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief.

Her owner hearing of this in Macao came over to get all the information he could and reported the same to the Police on the 18th, but as he then knew not where his Lorcha was taken to by the Pirates, of course nothing could have been done to recover the same.\n\nHe went back to Macao and arrived there on the 28th where he learned all the particulars of the capture of his Lorcha by ...\n\nsterious circumstances--but perhaps by relating the same it will speak for itself, and bring to light the case of the Lorcha No. 71 above mentioned.\n\nOn the evening of the 27th January the Portuguese ...\n\n1--Par.

For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

The Jury, a special one, awarded the Plaintiff $1,010, it will be remembered, subject to the Judge's decision on the low point raised by Defendant's Counsel; and our readers, no doubt, are desirous of knowing what has been the result of the matter, and how the disputed point has been arranged. But though, as we have remarked, it is upwards of a month since the trial was reported, from that day to the present we have not heard a word of the threatened kroviment;---so, as the time allowed for the mo time was for some time expired, the verdict of the Jury stands. So much for the verdict whether the award will be forthcoming, or whether we shall obtain even a refund of the costs out of pocket \"are problems the solution of which has yet to be told of \n\nThe Editor of the China Mail, in strictures exhibiting the most extraordinary feeling of sympathy for a suspicious character it has ever been our lot to read, has told the world that, owing to the unjust confinement to which Ah Lum has been subjected, being unable personally to look after his office--he, Ah Lum, is now declared to have become Bankrupt and will have to pass through the Insolvent Court\" and, adds the Editor with an evident hug of gratulation, there will possibly (the italics are ours) be some \"difficulty in recovering the amount of damages.\" Possibly there may--but, at all events, we are placed, by the verdict of one of the most respectable juries ever empanelled in this Colony, in a position to challenge the Insolvent's Balance sheet; and should it be, as we shall not be surprised to find, that Ah Lum's bankruptcy is due as much to his very proper stoppage at business here as to some astounding malversation in the shape of lawyer's fees, or payment of hireling scribes the facts will duly be made patent to the public, and, it will be hoped, produce a salutary effect that the Jury's award will not be altogether lost \n\nThe arrival of the mail prevented the intention of noticing in our last issue a very interesting letter in the Hongkong Register of Tuesday, signed a Catholic Missionary, and of which the intelligent Redacteur of that paper thus remarks.--- \n\nWe publish better from a Roman Catholic Missionary. in reply to some observations by a contemporary as to what ought to be the course of the French in China in his opinion.

Neither the fact nor the spirit are in good taste, and an easy answer could be time to both were worth while which is not. \n\nWhether the letter in question is a reply to our observations--whether it is \"bad taste\" (as one reverend Father disclaims it)--or whether the subject is worth while to notice are all points on which we shall leave our readers to form their own opinions. Here is a translation of such parts of the letter necessary to an understanding of it, and appended is an extract from the speech of His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, on the 5th of May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is entirely in consonance with the honestionsa which May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is not our contemporary does not think it worth while to notice. \n\nTranslation, \n\nReferring to the Anglo-French alliance on the China question--the author of the article accuses the French of a desire to impose their religion on Canton by means of bayonets, amusing it (religion) to serve their ambition.\"This alliance so surely desired by Great Britain rests, it is true, on different interests.

It will be however impossible for me to attempt to discharge the duties of my office with regard to this Ordinance if in addition to the tacit opposition which the Superintendent of Police has given to it in every possible way from the commencement, he be permitted to give positive encouragement to offenders in the manner I have above mentioned. The whole Police Force necessarily follow the lead set them by their Chief, and I am now at no loss to understand why my endeavours to carry out thoroughly what I believe to be a beneficial enactment, have never been aided by the Police, but solely by the Registrar General and the Inspector of Nuisances. Unless forced to do so I would be the last man to enquire how any servant of the Queen here observes or disregards the ordinary laws of morality, but now that this question has assumed an official shape I feel bound to call to the remembrance of your Excellency that Mr. May was for a considerable period a cause of great scandal to this community as the owner of the most offensive brothel property in this Colony. And I beg also to state that for many months (previous to my tenure of Office) he had this very same woman Rozario living and sleeping with him at his quarters, as Superintendent of Police, to the great offence of other married members of the Force.\n\n\"I attach so much importance to the conduct of the Superintendent of Police, and to the feeling evinced by him towards the Registrar General, who in this matter has only obeyed my official directions, that unless your Excellency is pleased to give me full support in carrying out what I conceive to be my duties, I must most reluctantly request your Excellency to relieve me from them.\n\n\"The subordinate executive machinery of this Colony rests almost entirely on the Registrar General and the Superintendent of Police. Of the former I have never had reason to complain; the latter has rarely given me satisfaction; I believe that he has by degrees amassed a certain amount of property, and the duties of his Office are generally sacrificed to his private concerns.\n\nAs far as I can ascertain, the ill-feeling evinced by Mr. May to Mr. Caldwell arises solely from the latter occupying a higher post than himself in the Government service, whereas he was at one time Mr. May's subordinate. The services of the present Registrar General are invaluable to the Colony, those of the present Superintendent of Police could be very easily dispensed with.\n\n\"Your Excellency is aware that I am not now for the first time expressing an unfavorable opinion of Mr. May, but each successive month confirms my views of his unfitness for his present post.\n\n\"I should be very unwilling that the Right Hon'ble the Secretary of State for the Colonies should have reason to suppose that Ordinance 12 of 1857 failed from inherent defects, as after my warm advocacy of it my credit is to a certain degree involved in it. If therefore your Excellency declines to sanction by your approval the view which I have taken, I most respectfully request that all the documents may be forwarded to the Colonial Office for the information of Mr. Labouchere.\"\n\n\"W. T. BRIDGES.\"\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 11th March, 1857.\n\n## Postscript\n\nSince writing the above I have received a letter from the Superintendent of Police which I annex. Its tone towards myself and the feeling it exhibits towards the Registrar General are such as to confirm the views that I have herein respectfully submitted to His Excellency, and to render my farther tenure of office worthless to Her Majesty's Service in this Colony if the conduct of the Superintendent of Police is not visited by punishment.-\"W.

On Saturday night last, at 11 P M., I went to the house of 5th defendant in Hollywood Road outside of the districts where brothels are allowed. I knocked for some time, and while so doing I heard 5th defendant call out to keep the \"devils\" (foreigners) quiet. I heard the voices of women inside. I was kept there half-an-hour. I said who I was, and then the door was opened. In a room on the lower floor I saw three European men. I went upstairs, I searched the house but could find no women, except defendant, and one or two old women. I said to her that I must take her to the Station on the charge of keeping a brothel; she said if I insisted on her leaving the house she would go elsewhere, or that she would pay the fine at once, but asked me to be tender with her. There was a window where women could get out.\n\nI heard women voices; before I went in I had the house surrounded so that I am sure no women got out into the streets. They could only have got into a house No. 894.\n\n正月收銀七十五圓 卄收紙銀四十圓 四 \n\n322",

        "content_text": "14\n\n16\n\nII. The direct countenance given to this assumption of irresponsible authority by the refusal of British Consuls to take cognizance of such acts, when brought to their notice, or to do more, (when pressed,) than record the protest of the complaining parties.\n\nIII. The finality of the decision of the Superintendent of Trade in all cases between British Subjects, and other Foreigners or Chinese, both in original suits before himself, or on appeal from the decisions of the Consular Courts.\n\nIV. The consequent practical impossibility of applying a check to any high-handed proceedings of the Foreign Customs.\n\n10. With respect to the first named ground of complaint, Mr. Lay stands up stoutly for the moderation of the Foreign Customs in its treatment of revenue offences. Such is not the popular impression and further, the foreign community are impressed with a belief, amounting to conviction, that the proceeds of confiscations are largely, if not wholly, distributed among the various grades of subordinates. Should this belief be groundless, an inquiry conducted by the Consuls would be an easy means of rebutting the charge.\n\n11. Notwithstanding the dictum (section 18 of the Memorandum,) \"that the Chinese Superintendent of Customs, with or without the advice of the Foreign Commissioner, can in no case overstep the limits assigned to his action by the Treaties, without being forthwith called to account by the Consul, upon the complaint of the Merchants aggrieved,\" that liability is very small when, as at present, British Consuls are reluctant to entertain such complaints and as the influence of the foreigners in the service is avowedly not limited to that gained by sagacious advice, the \"weak and corrupt officials,\" (described in Section 11,) are as likely to succumb to the misdirected energy of Foreign Customs officials as to the (there asserted) bribery or bullying\" of Foreign Traders.\n\n12. But the Committee will not discuss the \"Procedure in cases of fine and confiscation\" now practised; because they deny the right of the Chinese Authorities to make such seizures in Treaty ports, or levy such fines, independently of the British Consul.\n\n13. In all Treaties with China, Foreign Governments have required and obtained various ex-territorial rights:-- and the reason of such demands on the part of Her Majesty's Government is thus stated by Lord Clarendon in his dispatch to Sir George Bonham of June 24th, 1853, inclosing the order in Council of the 13th of the same Month.-\"In ordinary cases of British Subjects resorting to a Foreign Country, their persons and property are entrusted to the laws and institutions of the Country to which they may resort in the full assurance that those will be duly administered, and that the institutions of such country, although they may differ from those of England, are substantially in harmony with the general principles of jurisprudence recognized among Christian Communities. But the case is different as regards China, and there the British Crown has found it necessary to require that British Subjects shall be entirely exempted from the jurisdiction of the local tribunals, and has engaged in return, either expressly or by implication, to take effectual measures for the maintenance among British Subjects of peace, order, and good Government.\"\n\n14. In the second Article of the Treaty of Nanking,-a treaty renewed and confirmed by the second article of the later Treaty of Tientsin,-Her Majesty agrees to appoint \"Superintendents or Consular officers to reside at each of the above named (Treaty) cities or towns, to be the medium of communication between the Chinese Authorities and the said Merchants, and to see that the just duties and other dues of the Chinese Government as hereafter provided for, are duly discharged by Her British Majesty's Subjects.\"\n\n15. In the order in Council of June 1853, there is no waiver of any of the rights so secured; but on the contrary it embodies a series of regulations for the guidance of Consular Officers in dealing with them.\n\n16. The authoritative opinion given in 1860 by the then Crown Lawyers-Sir J. D. Harding, Sir Richard Bethel, and Sir W. Atherton,-in reference to vessels and cargoes seized for the breach of the Blockade of the Canton River affirms still more strongly the exclusion of China from the comity of civilized Nations; and from its having been communicated to the British Authorities in this Country, shows that up to that period Her Majesty's Government had seen no reason to depart from the principles laid down by Lord Clarendon. That opinion broadly states, that \"as between Her Majesty's Government and the Government and Subjects of China, (a Country which neither acknowledges, nor follows, the Jus Gentium of European states, under which the necessity for Prize Court condemnation arises,) no condemnation as Prize is either necessary or expedient.\"\n\n17\n\n17. The ex-territorial provisions of the Treaties are the natural consequence of the recognized exclusion of China from the comity of civilized Nations; and the judicial power of Consuls follows as a matter of course where some restrictive jurisdiction must exist, but is denied under Treaty to the native authorities. To argue therefore that \"the Chinese Government is no more obliged to resort to a British Court to enforce fines or confiscations for a breach of its revenue laws, where a British Subject is concerned, than it is to an American or French Court, where an American or French Subject is concerned,\" is beside the question, for the Chinese Government is bound to British Subjects by the express stipulations of its Treaties with Great Britain, while British Subjects are not bound by the Treaties of other Nations, though entitled to the benefit of all privileges accorded to them, greater than those secured by the British Treaties. The 7th clause of the French Treaty, quoted by the Inspector General of Chinese Customs, declares, it may be remarked, the obligation of a formal notice to a French Consul of any intention to seize or confiscate,\n\n18. But a serious fallacy underlies all arguments in favor of Chinese, as opposed to Consular, jurisdiction in cases of smuggling in the open ports by Subjects of Treaty Powers. They assume that such smuggling is an offence against the Chinese revenue laws, when in fact it is an offence against the Treaty only, a knowledge of Chinese Revenue laws not being obligatory, nor their observance compulsory, except in so far as they are recognized by Treaty. If this view be correct, of which the Committee entertain no doubt, the pretensions of the Chinese Customs to independent action in cases of violation of Treaty Stipulations or Regulations fall to the ground.\n\n19. Assuming the correctness of the statements now submitted to Your Lordship, it seems clear that British Subjects have a right to the judicial action of their Consuls in all cases of fine or confiscation; and that the limitation of their functions to ex post-facto political action, as urged by the advocates of the Chinese Customs, is as untenable in theory as it was contrary to fact in practice, till recently for it would be extremely difficult for the Inspector General of Chinese Customs to prove that the special cases of seizure enumerated in his memorandum were made without a previous application from the department to the British Consul-and even were that otherwise, the Committee of the Chamber are prepared to show, that within the last twelve months, some of the Chinese Superintendents of Customs have pleaded the direct or implied sanction of Her Majesty's Superintendent of Trade as their Authority for carrying out confiscation, and further that a rule, drawn up by that officer for the regulation, inter alia, of cases of confiscation at Canton, runs thus-\"if the goods are on board British Vessels or in possession of a British Subject, the particulars shall be communicated to the Consul, who shall grant a warrant for their seizure, and if, on examination they are undoubtedly smuggled, it shall be permitted to the Hoppo to declare their confiscation.\"\n\n20. Before proceeding to the other questions enumerated above, it is the pleasing duty of the Committee to state, that the Baron de Meritens, Commissioner of Customs at Foochow has appreciated the fact, that the best mode of discouraging illicit trade is to deprive it of motive; and as a commencement in opening the ports of China more widely to legitimate Commerce, has induced the superior Authorities to sanction the resort of ships to the ports of Keelung and Takao in Formosa. Should the experiment succeed, as it no doubt will, it will probably lead to its extension to other important ports on the Mainland.\n\n21. The second cause of dissatisfaction to the Foreign Commercial body, viz:-the direct countenance given to the pretensions of the Chinese Customs' Authorities by the present reluctance of British Consuls to entertain any complaint arising from the Acts of those officials, will be more shortly discussed.\n\n22. It is generally understood and believed, that the Consular officers act in this matter under special instructions from the Superintendent of Trade :-but apart from the violation of right, which the Foreign residents believe to be involved in the surrender to the Chinese Customs' establishment of irresponsible power in dealing with Treaty offences, they universally condemn such surrender as impolitic. Should the Foreign element in the Chinese Maritime Customs be a permanent one, it might, at any time, be composed of men of a very different stamp, and very inferior grade, to the gentlemen now holding the higher offices of the Foreign Inspectorate; and who might be the reverse of scrupulous in their administration of the department, but keenly alive to the value to themselves of mingling political power with their fiscal functions, particularly if through the direct Agency of the Maritime Customs establishment, the Cost of foreign armed and manned gun-boats, and of disciplined Chinese troops commanded by Foreign Officers, is to be defrayed.\n\nIn the\n\n23. But indeed this perilous union of powers appears to have been already initiated. Supplement to the North China Herald of Sept. 26th of this year, the case is reported of the \"United States of America versus Pinder and others\" tried in the United States Consular Court, in which Commander Solway, (one of the Witnesses for the prosecution,) describing himself as a British Naval Officer in the service of the Emperor of China, is stated to have deposed, that his commission in that service is held from Mr. Lay and Captain Sherard Osborne, and that it professes to be given on behalf of the Emperor. Certainly among the many anomalous arrangements now in existence in This Country, this is one of the strangest.\n\n24. Again Commercial men in this Country have no faith in the theory of Chinese, of any rank, being led up to European international civilization by being dealt with as though they were guided by its maxims, in anticipation of their honest adoption of them. They accept as an axiom that relaxation of ex-territorial rights, obtained under Treaty, should follow, but never precede, practical advance in such civilization on the part of the Chinese. They are satisfied, that Asiatics of every race attach no meaning to the phrase of political magnanimity, and cannot believe in the existence of such a virtue. Asiatics respect those who respect their own rights, and attribute to fear, or ignorance, any concession that is not palpably balanced by some corresponding advantage. Justice they understand.",

        "content_text": "## THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\n### [AUG. 13, 1867.\n\n#### THE RIVAL TELEGRAPHS TO INDIA.\n\nIn a late issue we noticed three new plans for establishing a more satisfactory system of telegraphic communication with India and the East. These comprised, firstly, the Anglo-Indian Company, which proposes to construct an independent line by way of Susa, Modica, Malta, and Egypt; secondly, the India, China, and Colonial Company, which prefers a complete chain of submarine cables, starting from Falmouth, via Gibraltar and Egypt; and thirdly, a plan for an entirely new route through Prussia and Russia. The details of the last-mentioned undertaking were at that time incomplete, but a tolerably full account of the plan having recently been made public, we are now in better position to compare the respective merits of the rival schemes. The name of the last new company is not yet announced; we understand, however, that a direction has been made to the French Post-office with a view to render the French mail service to India and China more available for the purposes of this country under the new system of postal communications, as recommended by the committee of last session.\n\nEach scheme, of course, has its special merits, nor must we expect to find either of them entirely free from defects. The Anglo-Indian line will probably be the first in operation, and being carried by a short and direct route, and worked throughout by an English staff, there seems no reason to doubt that the anticipations of the company—that they will be able to transmit messages between London and Bombay in six hours—will be fulfilled. The arrangement by which a second route to Alexandria is secured is especially valuable as a provision against the oft-recurring interruptions to which cables in the Mediterranean are liable; and the advantageous contract made with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company is a sufficient guarantee for permanent efficiency.\n\nThe only weak point we can find in the prospectus of this company is, strange to say, contained in its very first line: \"The object of this company is to establish, under one control and management in London, a direct and thoroughly effective line of telegraph via Egypt and Aden, to India, with extensions hereafter to Singapore, China, Japan, and Australia.\" Of the advantages likely to accrue from an undivided management in London, there can be no doubt; but the control, we fear, at least of the Continental portion, would rapidly pass out of the hands of the London board of directors in the event of a general European war breaking out—and we see no indications of the immediate arrival of the Millennium.\n\nBut we cannot have everything. This objection entirely disappears in the scheme of the India, China, and Colonial Company, for, as we have already seen, its chief feature is the almost entire abolition of land lines, and the wires will nowhere touch foreign soil except in the transit across Egypt. Politically, therefore, this route would seem to possess decided advantages over any of its competitors; but submarine cables are expensive to lay down, and still more so to keep in repair, especially in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.\n\nAs regards original cost of construction, the overhead line through Prussia and Russia would probably be cheapest of all; but this recommendation by no means extends to its subsequent maintenance, for in Russia the land lines constantly require repair in consequence of ice collecting on the wires and breaking them down. This liability to interruption has other than mere pecuniary disadvantages. Our last advices from China state that Grant's telegraphic service via Kiachta, which has lately proved so useful during the summer months, had been temporarily interrupted by a breakdown of the Russian lines from this cause. And with the still unsettled \"Eastern question\" staring us in the face, it is impossible to forget that a war with Russia would close this route at once. Still, there is no reason why all three should not be carried out. In a mercantile point of view, all will be useful; competition will ensure careful management and a moderate traffic; and political considerations render a choice of routes always valuable.\n\n#### THE POSTAL SERVICE.\n\nAll apprehensions concerning the probability of our overland mails falling into the hands of the French company have been set at rest by a distinct disavowal of the Duke of Montrose of any such intention on the part of Her Majesty's Government. So far, so good; but the Postmaster-General goes further than this, and takes upon himself to declare that no such idea ever has been entertained, an assertion which is strangely inconsistent with facts. In his statement to the House of Lords on the 9th instant, the noble Duke said: \"A very curious idea has got into the public mind on the subject, namely, to give up the control of the postal communication with India, and throw it into the hands of foreign Governments. This is almost entirely a mistake. Such an idea never entered into my mind or into that of any other member of the Government; and the only ground for it could be that in giving notice for tenders we did not put into them that we would not contract with any foreign Government.\"\n\nNow compare this with the following report of a question and answer on the same subject in the House of Commons on the 3rd of June last: Mr. Childers asked the Secretary of the Treasury whether any overtures had been made to the French Post-office with a view to render the French mail service to India and China more available for the purposes of this country under the new system of postal communications, as recommended by the committee of last session? Mr. Hunt replied that forms of tender had been sent out, and it was hoped that the Messageries Imperiales might be induced to make an offer.\n\nThe Postmaster-General says that the idea of allowing a foreign company to compete \"never entered his mind, or that of any other member of the Government.\" The Secretary to the Treasury says that forms of tender have been sent to the French company, and he hopes they will be induced to make an offer. Mr. Crawford, the champion of common sense being carried against official stupidity, has written a letter to The Times, pointing out how absurdly the two departments are at variance; but comment on so glaring a discrepancy is almost needless. Really, my lords and gentlemen, you should endeavour to be a little more consistent!\n\n### THE FAILURE OF MESSRS. LYALL, STILL AND CO.\n\nOur last issue contained a report of the examination of Messrs. C. F. Still and George Maclean, two of the partners in the firm of Messrs. Lyall, Still and Co., before the Court of Bankruptcy at Hong Kong. Our readers will have been astonished to find that no opposition was offered to their passing through the court. We must confess that we were struck with amazement at the following statements made in court on the bankrupts' affairs, which, according to the report of the official assignee, stand briefly as $635,935 on the wrong, and only $2,000 on the right side.\n\nThe Chief Justice said this was a most satisfactory statement, and was in Hong Kong. The accounts and statements appeared to have been drawn up with very great care and very much attention. Mr. Whyte here observed that, as representing his three clients, Liebert, Mendel, and Henderson, he did not intend to ask any questions, or to oppose the bankrupts' discharge. Mr. Pollard stated that so far as Messrs. Fussell and Co. were concerned, for whom he appeared, he had no questions to ask and no opposition to make. He appeared also for the Oriental Bank, who had a possible interest in the bankruptcy. A gentleman of the bank's staff had examined the books, and had found them so correct that no opposition was offered.\n\nHis Lordship, in doing so, remarked that, from what he had seen, he thought nothing had entered the case which could be said to go beyond the common state of things present in any bankruptcy. It was satisfactory that the books told the whole tale, as that was the first merit in any bankruptcy, and both bankrupts were entitled to that credit in this case. They would leave the court without the slightest imputation, except that certain want of prudence which characterised almost every one who traded largely in China.\n\nThis act was certainly one of the grossest injustice to the bulk of the creditors. That Mr. Maclean knew that the firm was insolvent appears clear by a letter in the hands of the official assignee. The letter is dated 27th December and addressed to Mr. Lyall, and runs as follows: \"As I told you in my last, I had a long chat with Faunceforte, the Attorney-General, and this great idea was that Kayser and Kaye should be kept quiet here, so as to give every chance at home, as so much depended on the matter over there... Pollard, who was consulted two or three days after the mail left, came to the conclusion that the best thing that could be done would be to give these two banks a lien on such property as I could muster up. The two lawyers both considered that Kayser and Kaye were first entitled, the one legally the other morally, to be satisfied, even at the expense of other creditors, hereafter; and if things came to the worst, and if the firm was insolvent at the time, then Kayser and Kaye have no advantage, and would not retain their lien.\"\n\nThe expression of opinion in Hong Kong on the failure of the firm is so diametrically opposed to that current in London and Manchester that we have considered it our duty to examine into the case, and we regret that the result is very unfavourable to the bankrupts. It has been correctly described as a \"very bad case,\" and how Judge Smale could commit himself to such an expression of opinion—amounting really to panegyric on the conduct of the bankrupts—is a mystery.\n\n| Name | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| MENDEL and LIEBERT | vendors of the goods |\n| KAYSER and KAYE | banks holding documents |\n\nReally, one cannot help inferring, in the face of such apparent obfuscation, that his Lordship had himself very largely absorbed the \"China air and China habits\" to which he attributed the bankrupts' disasters. The expressions on the 24th June are so totally at variance with those of the 6th, that no small amount of criticism has resulted.\n\nMessrs. Mendel and Liebert to appeal against the verdict to the Privy Council. The case of Messrs. Henderson has not yet been brought to trial, and this accounts for the counsel, Mr. Whyte, having no opposition to offer.\n\nWe understand that private telegrams have been received from Hong Kong, announcing that the affairs of Messrs. Dent and Co. have been thrown into bankruptcy. The \"Union Insurance Society,\" hitherto managed exclusively by Messrs. Dent and Co., is in future to be placed on an independent basis. It is reported that at a recent meeting of shareholders the accounts submitted showed a large deficit; this, however, is in direct contradiction to a statement made some months since that the funds of the \"Union\" were intact, and its affairs in a satisfactory condition.\n\n## NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS\n\nNotice can be taken of voluminous correspondence.

The cost per picul of raw silk is calculated in these tables at 200 to 800 taels, and of waste at 5 to 64 taels.\n\nMuch is said in our papers about the losses involved by the Insurance societies during the last year, so that most of them are not able to pay a dividend, whilst some have lost a good part of their capital. It is of too much interest that I should not reproduce what is said about it in a small local paper, because it is worthy to be known generally that during the last year the \"Javasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund and 50,000f. of its capital; the \"Bataviasche Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost 50,000f. of its capital of 180,000f; the \"Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" lost its reserve fund; the \"Tweede Koloniale Zee en Brand Assurantie Maatschappij\" (established last year) lost 61,000f.; and the \"Oosterling\" (established last year) 30,760f. of its capital. The very unsatisfactory result of the companies who are represented here is due to the fact that they accept too great risks and insure too large sums upon the several ships.\n\nWe notice that the \"Teping\" was the first of the tea clippers to pass Anjer. She left Foochow on the 3rd June, and passed Anjer on the 21st. The \"Maitland\" sailed two days after her, and the \"Serica\" passed Anjer on the 27th, four days after the \"Maitland\".\n\n### THE CIVIL SERVICE.-Foreign-office\n\nMr. H. B. Bristow has been appointed student interpreter in China or Japan. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint William Graham Sandford, Esq., now a Third Secretary, to be a Second Secretary in Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service.\n\n### Parliamentary Intelligence\n\n#### HOUSE OF LORDS\n\n##### POSTAL COMMUNICATIONS\n\n(Aug. 9th.) The Duke of MONTROSE: I beg to lay upon the table a postal convention between this country and the United States, under which the postage between the two countries would be reduced from one shilling to sixpence. We hope that, in addition to this reduction, we shall have a more frequent communication with America; and I have little doubt that in a short time we shall arrive at what, perhaps, we never could have expected—a daily communication with the United States. By means of this convention, we shall also be able to reduce very considerably the postage to Canada. The letters to Canada passing through the United States will be reduced from one shilling to eightpence. We shall also have an opportunity of facilitating the communication with the new colony of British Columbia. We shall be enabled to send letters there in a much shorter time than by the present route by the Isthmus of Panama, and at a very much reduced cost.\n\nI think your lordships will consider that these arrangements will be satisfactory to the country at large. I must say that the United States Government have acted with the greatest cordiality and with the greatest anxiety to facilitate all these communications. (Hear.) I am anxious to take this opportunity of making some remarks on the subject of our postal arrangements with India and China. After long consideration of the subject, a committee of your lordships' House recommended the Government to give notice for the termination of the existing contracts for the purpose of having fresh tenders and a more frequent communication with India. It was proposed that we should have a weekly mail to Bombay, and that a mail should proceed by railway from Bombay to Calcutta and Madras.\n\nWe have followed out the recommendations of the committee. We have given notice to terminate the existing contracts, and advertised for tenders for future contracts to run mails from Marseilles to Alexandria, and from Alexandria to Bombay, China, and Australia. But a very curious idea has got into the public mind on the subject, and it has been alluded to in the other House of Parliament, and in many of the newspapers—namely, that in following out the recommendations of the committee, we intended to give up the control of the postal communication with India, and to throw it entirely into the hands of foreign Governments. This is most entirely and gratuitously a mistake. Such an idea never entered into my mind, or into that of any other member of the Government; and the only ground for it could be that in giving notice for tenders, we did not put into them that we would not contract with any foreign Government.\n\nFrom that, people have taken the idea that we were to contract with the Messageries Imperiales and give up the control of the communication by our own vessels. In the committee of the House of Commons, it was suggested that we should avail ourselves of the Messageries Imperiales in several cases, and even that we should throw it into their hands if they offered a cheaper service than our own countrymen. That is wrong, but I do not say that we shall not under some circumstances avail ourselves of that company, and at present, we send some letters on their way to China by their boats. But these are only supplementary arrangements associated with the boats under our own control. To throw everything into the hands of any foreign country would be extremely impolitic, even though in the first instance, it might enable us to perform the service cheaper.\n\n**COMMERCIAL**\n\n### COFFEE\n\nThe market remains in a very good position, because there was more demand for consumption. For Malang coffee of the last sale of the Dutch Trading Company, somewhat higher prices were paid; the quality was very inferior. Of private imports, white, yellow, and brown sorts are very scarce.\n\n| Type | Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Ordinary to good ordinary greenish, some brownish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n| Good ordinary greenish, ex Kandeish | 800 bags | different prices |\n\nImported were 8,144 piculs Java, ex Triton; 1,034 piculs, per Eva Johanna; and 2,612 piculs, ex Landbouw.\n\n### SUGAR (RAW)\n\nThe 38,924 baskets Java which were sold by the Dutch Trading Company on the 24th ultimo realised full May prices for brown and yellow sorts, and f. to under them for white quality. For the result of the sale, a very good impression was made upon the demand, which has been very firm since. Of private imports, 8,500 baskets were sold before and after the sale, of which 3,500 per Eva Johanna at full July prices to f. higher.\n\n| Quantity | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2,221 baskets Java, ex Triton | 293f. No. 11, damp and very damp |\n\nThe unsold stock of Java at the Dutch Trading Company was on the 1st inst. 28,825 baskets, against 49,854 in 1866.\n\n### Continental Intelligence\n\n#### HOLLAND\n\n(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)\n\nAbout the new Minister of the Colonial Department, a deep silence prevails now in the press, only the \"Arnhemsche Courant\" said that Mr. Hasselman accepted the portfolio with the condition that again an Indian ground-rent Bill should be brought in Parliament, whilst in this Bill should be stipulated that the right of possession should be granted to the natives. The assertion may more or less be true, but I cannot warrant it. The same paper also told that the Minister of the War Department has the intention to augment the militia with 25,000 soldiers, so that the budget of war will be brought from 13 to 20 millions.\n\n#### TEA\n\nThe market is unaltered; the quotation is for China Congou, Sloe., 175c.; and for Java do., 65c. to 75c., according to the quality.\n\n#### RICE\n\nThe market is very firm; of uncleaned, 1,896 b. Sourabaya, ex Maassluis were sold at Amsterdam at a little above 8f., and here, 2,500 b.

Sir RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL, \n\n**C.B., Governor of Hongkong and its Dependencies**\n\nMay it please your Excellency,\n\nthe undersigned Barristers, Bankers, Physicians, Solicitors, Merchants, Shipowners, Traders, Shipwrights, Innkeepers, and others interested in the prosperity of Hongkong, beg to bring to your Excellency's notice certain proceedings on the part of the Chinese Authorities, which amount, we believe, to a direct and high-handed attack upon the commerce of the island, and which, if suffered to continue, will most prejudicially affect the well-being of the Colony.\n\nChinese Custom-house stations have been, or are in course of being, erected at the Cap-ring-moon, the Ly-e-moon, and Kowloon, for the purpose of levying exactions, under the denomination of “duties,” upon that portion of the trade of this colony which is carried on in Chinese bottoms. Such stations, if intended for the object alone of collecting duties upon merchandise passing into the interior at the points which this required, could not reasonably be objected to; but the establishments in question are supported by a force of steam gunboats and armed Government junks, by means of which they impudently threaten to levy tolls, on and after the 20th instant, from every native craft passing through the colonial waters, no matter whence it comes or whither its destination. The effect is as though we were at war with China, and the port blockaded. But the Chinese Authorities have gone further. Officers connected with the stations of which we complain are in the colony, and, it is understood, will be prepared to lend to the natives “Comprador Chope” upon payment within the island of the extortions which they falsely term \"duties!\" The natural results are not wanting; already excessive uncertainty and alarm prevail among our Chinese population, and the trade of the colony has been brought to almost a dead-lock.\n\nComment or remark from us upon the attitude which the Chinese Authorities have thus assumed towards Hongkong and your Excellency's Government appears to be supererogatory. Your Excellency does not need to have set forth to you the grave importance of the social, financial, commercial, and international consequences involved in such extraordinary action as that which we have just described. Your Excellency will feel as deeply as we do the insult offered to the Queen's dignity, and the blow aimed at the independence of the Colony under your charge. But our interests of every kind are so intimately bound up with the overthrow of the evil which we are now denouncing, that we cannot refrain from most urgently praying your Excellency to put in force without delay whatever measures may seem best calculated to achieve that object.\n\nWe have the honour to remain,\n\nYour Excellency's most obedient humble servants,\n\n| Name | Firm/Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| Jowling, Matheson & Co. |  |\n| Gibbs, Livingston & Co. |  |\n| The Romick Co., Limited |  |\n| Augustine Heard & Co. |  |\n| David Sassoon, Son & Co. |  |\n| E.

        "content_text": "# CHINA MAIL\n## HONGKONG, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1868\n\nTHE FIRE AND THE POLICE. The fire which last evening occurred in the immediate neighbourhood of this office has justly given rise to indignant remarks on the part of almost every resident in the colony. It seldom happens that we feel called upon to expose in more emphatic terms the utter and total state of disorganization and confusion which prevailed,—a disorganization disgraceful to the government which professes to have organized a brigade, and doubly disgraceful to the Police and (very nominal) Superintendent lately appointed to act as leader at such occurrences. It was one of those rare occasions upon which the expression of public opinion was unanimous. Men of all grades, official or non-official, Naval and Military alike, expressed in loud and contemptuous tones their conviction of the utter uselessness of the means adopted to extinguish the fire and of the still more utter uselessness of the person to whose care had been confided the \"organization\" of the embryo brigade. There was not a single redeeming feature about the case so far as the police and brigade were concerned. The very plucky but too often misdirected efforts of the soldiers and sailors leave no room for carping at the manner in which they did their work. There was plenty of zeal, plenty of pluck and power on their part, as on the part of many civilians present; but the efforts of all were rendered useless by the absence of any head, and the want of definite orders from any recognized source on the part of this precious brigade of which Mr. May is the Superintendent. The conduct of the police was simply utterly disgraceful from beginning to end, partially excused by the fact, as stated to the writer 45 minutes after the fire broke out by three of the force whom he at different times addressed, \"that they had no one to give them orders,\" a statement which, whether true or false, reflects equal discredit on the force. We would draw particular attention to the details given in another column respecting the \"take-it-easy\" manner in which the alarm was received at the station, and the conduct of the police on the spot. Surely, these things call for some notice!\n\nIn the utter collapse of the present Brigade and its Superintendent, who by the way was, it is reported, as ignorant of the positions of the various hydrants as of the details of a fireman's outfit when appointed, we see grave cause for immediate action towards a more satisfactory state of matters. The duties of Fire Brigades are doubtless like the payment of Insurance policies—irksome when the danger is not present. But in a town which has witnessed so many extensive conflagrations and where the Chinese were formerly permitted to build inflammable shells which embodied mocking invitations to be burnt, we cannot let society go on without a real, working, brigade and efficient Superintendent. As somebody well remarked last night on hearing certain persons, directed by a certain person, to \"go,\" the only word used by leaders should be \"come.\" In the confusion of last night it is possible that any such invitation would have not been heard or understood—another result of police organization. Instead of clearing a circle within which none but workers were admitted, the police stood idly by, while Chinese loafers and zealous, but perforce unemployed, civilians pressed around the hose carriers and rather retarded than assisted them.\n\nIf we look around for satisfactory means of organizing an efficient fire brigade, the means and material are obvious enough. By \"an efficient fire brigade\" we mean something supported solely by volunteer action. This could be easily raised and would be well supported, but there must be two conditions observed in its organization. The leader must be both a \"gentleman\" and \"a practical man.\" If it be suggested that such a union is difficult to find in one man, let there be two leaders, the man of high social standing being the chief, while his locum tenens in cases of urgency and general adviser in other cases would be the man with practical experience. We could very easily name two men who would exactly fulfil these various conditions, and under their auspices the F.B. might be a real living association instead of an association of which \"great cry and little wool\" is the motto.\n\nThat the fire of yesterday spread no further than it did is a singular instance of good fortune earned by no meritorious deed on the part of those parties most specially intrusted with the duties of combating it. Had but one house beyond the line reached caught fire, it is difficult to say where it would have stopped. The parallelogram formed by Wyndham, Wellington, and d'Aguilar Streets and the road leading past the west face of St. Saviour's Church is a perfect amphitheatre of tinder. That it remained unconsumed is one of those inscrutable problems which no one is likely to solve.\n\nIn conclusion, we would say—May we venture to hope something will be done?—that something to consist of the discharge of the present highly inefficient imitation now palmed off on us as a superintendent and the reorganization of a fire brigade. By the way, they might begin practice with an ordinary stove, gradually increasing the size of the fire until it was as big as a hay-rick. The now quasi-deserted Government gardens would afford a cheerful spot for the study of such amusements, or rather duties. The volunteers are welcome to the hint, and we are sure that the Curator would cheerfully lend his garden squirt for the practice.",

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press\n## HONGKONG, AUGUST 15TH, 1868\n\nANOTHER fire, and still no effective power to extinguish or control it. Fire-engines in plenty, but no water to supply them. Water in abundance, but no engines to throw it. Hose by the mile, but no one to lay it down. Hands without number, but no head to direct them. Engines, hose, water, men, materials enough for two fire brigades, but an utter want of organisation to render these appliances effective.\n\nThe fire of Thursday night was not extinguished, and was not prevented from spreading by the labors of the so-called Fire Brigade, but by what cannot always, unfortunately, be calculated on, the direction of the wind and the nature of the buildings in the immediate vicinity of the scene of the fire. Lofty walls, with little or combustible matter about them, stopped the flames before they reached the mass of Chinese houses to the Southward or towards the hill. The direction of the wind and the common sense of the inhabitants saved Arick's house from the fire, which, had it leaped across, would have burnt down the whole block between the Queen's-road and Wellington-street, before the chiefs of the Fire Brigade had quite made up their minds as to what it was best to do under the circumstances.\n\nThe confusion that night was greater, if anything, than on any previous occasion. There were no troops to keep the ground, and the police never made the attempt. They were there under no head, and without any orders; come to do the best they could, according to their individual lights. At former fires, every engine as it came up went to work where it saw need, and, under the direction of its own people, and with the help of the bystanders, did the best it could. There was no want of willingness to work on the part of any one.\n\nThe difficulty was that there was no plan, no union of effort. At the fire on Thursday night, private engines came on the ground, but believing there was a Fire Brigade and a responsible director, simply reported themselves and waited for orders---valueless when they came. The people, from the highest to the lowest, were unwilling to interfere, lest they should be charged with increasing the confusion and with adding to the difficulties of the work. The engines that got into play, especially the earlier ones, simply wasted the water for want of direction where to throw it. One or two of those later on the ground did good service, a French one especially, directed by its own officer and worked by French seamen.\n\nFew of the colonial engines on the ground had any responsible person in charge of them to whom orders could be given, and by whom they could be intelligently carried out. There were plenty of Chinamen who pumped most vigorously, and pulled and hauled with a will; but where was the European foreman of each engine and his assistant, and the strong-armed, cool-headed man that ought to have directed the jet? They were nowhere to be found, while half-a-dozen inspectors and sergeants of police were visible, standing as quietly in the crowd of on-lookers as if they were the veriest strangers in the town, whose only object there was to satisfy a morbid curiosity.\n\nAssuming, for the sake of argument, that Mr. MAY has not had time to organise his new command as effectually as he could wish, or, in fact, to lick it into shape at all, and that he is open to profit by the experiences of the past, there are one or two points to which his attention may be directed with advantage.\n\nIn the first place, the ground about the scene of the fire must be kept clear of all drones. The workers want all the room, and more. Whether the military are called on to do this duty or the police may not matter much, but on reflection, it seems to be the one thing which the soldiers are better able to do than anything else. Their discipline is far superior to that of the police, they work better together, and obey orders more strictly. Their weapons, too, are more fear-inspiring and effective. The rush of armed Chinese on Thursday night down d'Aguilar-street was such as astonished those who saw it. The police were powerless to stop it. A line of bayonets would have turned it aside.\n\nBesides the men actually keeping the ground, a small reserve should be under arms to provide for contingencies. European police alone, or at most the Chinese and European portion of the force, should attend. The Sikhs are utterly helpless, and in their efforts to do something, only increase the turmoil and confusion. For all practical purposes, they are deaf and dumb, and deaf and dumb men are useless at a fire.\n\n| Proposal | Details |\n| --- | --- |\n| Engines on standby | A proportion of the engines belonging to the brigade should stand always ready for immediate use |\n| Nightly duty | A sufficient number of men to work at least one of these engines should be on duty, dressed, and awake every night, as a fire picket |\n| Inspector on duty | An Inspector of police should be kept on duty nightly to take charge of this engine, and rush with it to the scene of the fire on the first alarm |\n| Command structure | When there, to take the command absolutely until the arrival of the Superintendent |\n| Staffing | In addition to the men, whose duty it is to drag the engine from place to place and to do the actual pumping, there must be a permanent staff to each engine, consisting of three European policemen |\n\nNo engine came on the ground on Thursday until twenty minutes or half an hour after the first alarm. When one did arrive, the fire was master of the position.",

        "content_text": "even to the Episcopate! In the case before us the Episcopal superintendence of the Mission would be transferred from the Diocesan, not to another Bishop who could speak with official authority and act, on his own judgment, but, in effect, to the executive of the C. M. S. An arrangement to which I take very grave exception. I agree most cordially with Appendix II to the 39th Report of C. M. S. on the constitution and practice of the Society with reference to its ecclesiastical relations, and I am prepared to uphold the principles so well advocated therein. The Committee have their important functions to fulfil and the Bishop has his. The one cannot, in the Mission field, do without the other. Each must appear, not in name only, but in real and independent action, and yet by mutual forbearance, in confiding co-operation. The scheme I deprecate reduces the position and office of a Bishop in the Mission field to the value of a cipher; and if practically exhibited in Ningpo will expose the Episcopate to ridicule not only throughout China, but the Church of Christ.\n\nOn these grounds I deprecate the consecration of a Missionary Bishop for the native Church in the Ningpo Mission, and must withhold from the measure my official assent.\n\nII. Let me now invite your Lordship to consider the merits of the other scheme proposed, viz., the Consecration of a Missionary Bishop to supersede the Bishop of Victoria above a given geographical line.\n\n1. No Colonial Bishop can be appointed in China except in Hongkong and its dependencies. Great Britain claims not a foot of ground elsewhere in China. The Bishop therefore can only be consecrated as a Missionary Bishop under the so-called Jerusalem Act. It would be a grievous injustice to the European Clergy, especially to those who come to China as Deacons, as has been the case with almost all the Missionaries of C. M. S. in China, to subject them to the jurisdiction of a Missionary Bishop so consecrated.\n\nBy him to the Priesthood would for ever be disqualified from holding preferment or even a Curacy in England. To obviate this difficulty it was proposed to me to issue a commission to the Missionary Bishop to ordain his European candidates for holy orders; or, to bring them to Hongkong for ordination by myself. The remedy suggested sufficiently illustrates the grave difficulty of the case. The constant delegation of his functions on the part of one Bishop to another in order to get over a difficulty exposes the whole scheme to animadversion. To send the Clergy of North China to Hongkong for ordination would most unhappily exhibit the impotency of their Bishop!\n\n2. As in the former case the dependent and subservient position of the Bishop as a stipendiary Missionary of the C. M. S. (his stipend being in lieu of the Endowment of the See) appears equally inexpedient and unseemly. Bishop Crowther's is altogether an exceptional case. Similar peculiarities should exist to justify a similar appointment in the present instance. It must be remembered the Niger Mission exhibits the happy result of a Native Bishop presiding over a Native Church, though that Bishop be a paid Missionary of the C. M. S. But, in Ningpo, it is the case of a European presiding over a Native Church. When Ningpo can present its Chinaman as a candidate for the Episcopacy, as the Niger has its African, the question of the Ningpo Missionary Bishopric will occupy very different ground.\n\n3. Besides, the scheme is to some extent a misappropriation of the funds of the C.M.S to other than strictly Missionary purposes. The Bishop's duties in the case before us will be colonial in reference to foreign residents at Shanghai, Hankow, Kiukiang, and elsewhere as well as at Ningpo. I cannot see the propriety of furnishing the stipend of the Bishop for the European merchants, and others, resident in the treaty ports of North China from the funds of the Church Missionary Society. I believe this difficulty will be felt; and that to put the North of China under the jurisdiction of an Episcopal Missionary of C.M.S. receiving his stipend from the Society, will be to sacrifice the interests of the European residents to the interests of the Missions. The former have no claim upon the services of the Missionary Bishop. But both have an equal claim upon the Bishop of Victoria. And it will be an injustice to deprive either of his superintendence without an adequate provision being secured.\n\n4. It further appears to me to be manifestly inconsiderate in reference to other Church Societies (e.g. the S.P.G)--to place their Missionaries who may be sent to China under the salaried Episcopal Missionary of a particular Society.\n\nBut I think I have said enough to shew that the second scheme which I suppose has been already negatived by the Colonial Secretary is surrounded with difficulty.\n\nIII. There is a third scheme which has not yet, I believe, received consideration. It appears to me feasible and free from the objections above urged. How far it may be acceptable to the C.M.S. I cannot tell. I mean the appointment of a Coadjutor Bishop. The presence of the Bishop of Victoria in England is occasionally as necessary as his presence in China, and in his absence the assistance of a Coadjutor might be an advantage: and, resident as the Bishop of Victoria is in Hongkong, the presence of a Coadjutor in the North of China might be occasionally convenient. I suggest the scheme, thinking it might prove \"a door of hope.\" But I deprecate at present two Bishops for China, acting independently of each other. The four Missions and eight European Missionaries and two Native Deacons need one head and one policy; and union under one ecclesiastical head and unity of Missionary action are at present indispensable. A Coadjutor Bishop would act under commission and under commission only, and whenever he appeared as Bishop he would appear as the representative of the Bishop of Victoria; and I deprecate the Consecration of a second Bishop for China under other conditions.\n\nMy Lord, I earnestly entreat you and the Secretaries and Committee of the C.M.S. not to intrude upon this Diocese a Missionary ...",

The emergency of the case necessitated an interview between the Gov. + the head mandarin of Kowloon, who at once took measures to restrain the villagers on Chinese territory, whilst the Hongkong Police disarmed those on British Land.\n\nYet it is since the occurrence of an emergency like the above that my attention has been especially called to the instructions regulating communication from the Hongkong Police to any Chinese Mandarin. The recent burglary and attack on a house belonging to the Union Dock Company, resulting in the murder of Mr. Janeey, it has been ascertained that some of the perpetrators of the act crossed over from the Chinese territory & that after the affair the majority fled inland. The Mandarins frequently said to me, & I have invariably met with an expression of perfect readiness to assist me in any matter, but coupled with a dislike that every trivial matter of police business should be communicated to them through the Viceroy of Canton.\n\nIn considering this question I cannot bring too forcibly before H.E.'s notice the comparative position & means of communication between Canton & British & Chinese Kowloon. From the two latter places Canton is 90 miles distant, & is only accessible by one steamer daily. British Kowloon borders on Chinese Kowloon for two miles, + the city of the latter district can be reached from Victoria in 40 minutes. The above remarks would also apply to other Chinese towns with which I have of necessity Police business, with more or less frequency according to their relative distances from Hongkong & Canton.\n\n(sd) W.

The finest general view of the whole was of course obtained from the Harbour. \"The lights,\" says a Daily Paper, \"were seen blazing along the whole length of the Praya skirting the Harbour; while the huge 'A' at the P. & O. Office, together with the brilliant exhibition on the Messageries Impériales Office, marked the length to which the illuminations extended Westward; and a cleverly made outline of a ship at Messrs. Jardine & Co.'s, as well as a Pagoda at the Mint, both distinctly visible from opposite Pedder's Wharf, showed the length of the lighting Eastwards.\" Across the Harbour, the Police Station at Kowloong gave an idea of the distance in that direction; while looking towards the Peak above the City, the extent to which the light reached up the hill was clearly seen, the illumination of the Police Station at the Gap having a very fine effect. The brilliant and tasteful gas lights running round all the doors and windows of Dr. Murray's house were very imposing. The chaste, but highly effective lighting of Government House was still finer, though in another way; two thousand large and handsome Japanese lanterns being used which had been expressly made for the purpose, each displaying the Duke's cypher and the Union Jack. \"The beautiful red Cross on the top of St. Paul's College shone out gloriously against the dark background, its effect being enhanced by the associations connected, no less with the emblem than the building over which it was known to be shining, though the edifice itself was not visible from the distance. On the Praya, the eye was caught by the North German Consulate, and the magnificent design on Messrs. Russell's house, in the centre of which was a large chromatrophe star, with the word 'Welcome;' on one side of which were two transparencies representing Plenty and Justice, and on the other, two representing Prudence and Commerce.\"\n\n23\n\n4",

        "content_text": "THE LONDON AND CHINA TELEGRAPH.\n\nIs not a great deal of the work in Siam caused by the doctrine of extra-territorial jurisdiction applying to the inhabitants of British Burmah? Yes, and to British India; I would not separate British Burmah exclusively.\n\nThere is a difficulty in following criminals from British Burmah, is there not, to Siam; do not cases occasionally occur of the escape of criminals into Siam?--I have not heard of any particular case of that kind.\n\nDo you think that work of that kind could be decreased; it has been stated here that there has been a somewhat extravagant interpretation of this doctrine in the case of the inhabitants of British Burmah?--Well, it would be a very great comfort if the work of looking after these men could be taken away from the consul altogether, because it is a terrible responsibility having to give an opinion about cases which happen hundreds of miles away from you, and of which you cannot get any very satisfactory evidence. I do not see how we are to avoid doing it with our Treaty.\n\nThe officers of the consulate are occasionally sent great distances up country, are they not, in these cases?--No, they were not in my time; I have never known of an officer being sent beyond 60 miles about a case.\n\nBut the labour involved in these cases to the consulate is very considerable?--Very considerable, and the anxiety still greater.\n\nDo you know whether it was the custom of other Powers for their consuls to act as agents there?--In some cases the consuls were merchant consuls, trading consuls, and in that case they might of course be agents for anything; the Lloyd's agent in Siam was a merchant.\n\nViscount ENFIELD: Is the cost of living in Siam very great?--It is great as compared with England, because there are certain luxuries which a man must have in a climate of that sort; I mean to say that whereas a young man in England can live very well for £150, out in Siam it is impossible for a student interpreter to live decently on the pay that is given to him.\n\nMR. HARPER in his evidence before the Committee said that H.M. Consuls often acted as agent for Lloyd's, and that the commissions paid on wrecks were at times valuable, he might instance the case £3,000 paid on one ship at Batavia.\n\nCHINA SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY (LIMITED).\n\nThe second ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held on the 13th inst.; Mr. JOHN PENDER, M.P., in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. T. Fuller) read the notice convening the meeting, and the minutes of the last meeting, which were then confirmed; the report of the directors, given in our last issue, was taken as read.\n\n[Nov. 18, 1872.]\n\nThe CHAIRMAN stated that since the opening of the line it had worked in every way satisfactorily; there had been one or two interruptions, but of a slight character. In regard to one which occurred at Saigon in shallow water, they had the satisfaction, in repairing the cable, that it was as perfect as on the day it had been laid down.\n\nIt was also a matter for congratulation to perceive that, even taking into account the low rate of charges that had rated for a considerable period of the company's operations, the result had been about as good as that attained by any submarine line during the first year of its working. It was proposed to pay the shareholders a dividend of 8 per cent. for the whole year.\n\nThe directors entered into arrangements with the Great Northern, by which that company was to receive interest at 5 per cent. on the capital, and the cable to be repaired by them; that all above that sum was to be equally divided; and, although the traffic had been interrupted, the amount received last year from that source was £4,752.\n\nHe thought that at some future time it would be necessary to call upon the shareholders to find the money to lay another cable in conjunction with the Great Northern, as the present cable seemed to be not quite so good as that company had expected it to be. He also believed that an alternate line was necessary to give the public the accommodation they required, and at the same time to secure themselves a fair return.\n\nThis company had put up its tariff to £6, whilst the Great Northern Company were working at £4 10s., but he thought that they were getting as full a share of the traffic as those who went to the expense of telegraphing their messages by both routes.\n\nMr. Forde, a shareholder, said he regretted that the Board had any idea of laying a cable between Hong Kong and Shanghai in conjunction with the Great Northern Company. Such a step would be much in the interests of that company, but against theirs. He must very earnestly urge on the directors the policy of amalgamating with the other companies; a low tariff was only to be obtained by amalgamation. The working expenses of this company—£16,000 on earnings of £85,000—were enormous, and the salaries paid were too high.\n\nMr. HOLMES agreed with Mr. Forde as to the Shanghai line, and he considered the £1,838 for the Agnes repairing ship was excessive, and a contract should be made for the repairs.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN, in reply to these remarks, said that the laying of the cable to Shanghai was merely foreshadowed, but if done, it must be in conjunction with the Great Northern in good faith, according to the bargain made. The policy of amalgamation was quite approved by the Board; but those things required time, and could not be carried out so speedily as Mr. Forde seemed to think.\n\nWith regard to the expenses, he read a statement of salaries, &c., at each port, and explained that the expenses of living were so high at the stations that the salaries of proper officers must be in proportion. The expense for repairs and maintaining cable would be reduced.\n\nThe directors had no objection to half-yearly meetings. The report was then put and carried, as also the re-election of the Baron d'Erlangen as a director, and two auditors. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.\n\nTHE JAPANESE AT MESSRS. ALLAN, RANSOME AND CO.'S.\n\nYesterday the Minister for Agriculture, with members of his suite, together with American and English employers of labour, visited the works of Messrs. Allan, Ransome, and Co., in King's-road, Chelsea, to view some newly-invented labour-saving machinery of remarkable construction and power.\n\nThe strikes of workmen in the building trades, the increased cost of production in the carpentry and joinery branches of those trades, and the difficulties caused to employers by the restrictions of Trades Unions, have each had their share in directing the attention of engineers to find the means of meeting the pressure caused by the contracted amount of available skilled labour; and the machines exhibited yesterday were in every way so perfect that it is not easy to see how hand labour will hold its own.\n\nThe first machine inspected was a portable saw frame. Any one who has seen the old saw-pits, where the \"top sawyer\" and the \"bottom sawyer\" laboured from morning to night and day after day in cutting a log into planks, would be greatly astonished to see this comparatively small machine, attended only by one man, cut up the body of a large oak into fourteen planks at once, it having twelve saws, which cut through the whole bulk of wood in something less than half an hour.\n\nA mortising machine, the invention of Mr. Richards, of Philadelphia, was set to work, and accurately and cleanly cut in a few moments mortises which would have taken a workman hours.\n\nA moulding machine, for cutting mouldings, did in a minute thirty-five feet of work, which would have taken a skilled workman many hours, and this work could apparently be done by a boy.\n\nIn what was called a \"general joining machine\" there was apparently no limit to the work to be done, the one machine cutting mortises, shaping blocks, planking, carving out banisters, and turning in a few minutes a plain block of wood into a perfectly carved piece of work.\n\nAnother machine, exceedingly small and unpretentious, was shown to be capable of planing any sort of work, oval or flat, and at the same time a revolving chisel cut mortises with celerity and accuracy.\n\nA very fine piece of machinery is one which cuts raised or recessed panels, in other words, which can cut the sunk or raised ornamental work in wood now so highly prized and so dearly paid for, as the best and most skilled.\n\nBy another machine, an American invention, but improved by the Messrs. Ransome, a door can be finished—that is, cleanly sand-papered on both sides—in three minutes.\n\nThe planing and trying-up of work, or what would be properly called the trueing \"up, by which is meant the nice work of making blocks of wood exactly like one another, in order to hand labour, is, by one of Ransome's machines, done at once and perfectly in a few minutes, all the blocks, of whatever size, being placed together and turned out as like as peas, and mathematically correct in every respect.\n\nA band saw machine, by which both fine and rough work was cut in all sorts of shapes, and a saw cutting machine, with F. Ransome's patent stone, were among the other works shown.\n\nWith one or two of these machines an employer with a man and a boy as staff, could turn out as much work as twenty or thirty men, and never be troubled about the nine hours, eight hours, or any other movement.\n\nThe remarkable fact about these machines is that they are not limited to the pattern, shape, or character of wood, for the knives are changed in a few minutes, and whatever the class of work required, it can be done at once.\n\nThe inspection lasted for several hours, and all the visitors expressed themselves delighted with these new machines, some of which are to go to the Vienna Exhibition.\n\nNAVAL AND MILITARY.\n\nThe screw steamer Scotland, Captain James, sailed from Queenstown on the 12th inst. for Singapore and Hong Kong, via the Suez Canal.\n\nThe following are the details of the officers and men who proceed in the Scotland to strengthen the garrisons in the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong:-To Singapore, Captain Battye, Lieutenant Armstrong, and 79 men of the 10th regiment and 10 men of the Royal Artillery.\n\nTo Hong Kong, Captain Stone, with 294 men and 19 women and children of the 80th Regiment; an armourer sergeant, a sergeant, and 10 men of the Royal Artillery: and 3 men of the Royal Engineers.\n\nMajor Watson, of the Ceylon Rifle Regiment, Captain Hewson, 73rd Foot, and Lieutenant Chevera, of the 73rd Foot, proceed to Hong Kong on duty with the draft of the 80th Regiment, and will afterwards return to Ceylon.\n\nThe medical officer in charge of the troops is Staff Surgeon O'Halloran, who will, after their arrival at their respective stations, proceed to Penang.\n\nThe Mosquito, composite gunboat, 400 tons, and 360-horse power, which was commissioned at Devonport on the 30th ult., for service on the China station, by Lieutenant-Commander William Henry Bond, was moved into Plymouth Sound on the 9th inst., has made the customary trial of her engines, and has embarked her supply of ammunition preparatory to sailing.\n\nLieutenant-Colonel Joseph H. F. H. Hudson, Grenadier Guards, is to be confirmed in his appointment of military secretary to General Henry Renny, in command of the forces in Ceylon.\n\nMONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.\n\nThe suspension of Messrs. Bowles Bros. and Co., noticed in our last issue, has caused the stoppage of the \"Joint National Agency,\" a company formed for general financial and agency purposes in connection with the Japanese now in Europe, amongst whom we are sorry to say are the agents of the Japanese Government, who have lodged Government funds in the hands of the Company.\n\nJudging from the following circular, it seems that the company is utterly crushed, and will be dissolved.\n\n446, Strand, London, 9th November, 1872.\n\nSIR.—With the greatest regret, and by order of the Board of Directors, I have to inform you that in consequence of the sudden and unexpected suspension of payment of one of the bankers of this company, the firm of Messrs. Bowles Brothers and Co., this company has also found it necessary to suspend payment.\n\nIn order at once to secure the assets of the company its immediate winding up has been determined upon, and with this view an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders will be held here at two o'clock in the afternoon, on Tuesday week, the 19th inst., when a resolution will be submitted to the effect that it has been proved to the satisfaction of the company that it cannot, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business, and that it is advisable to wind up the same.\n\nI am, Sir, your obedient servant,\n\nWALTER H. FARRA, Secretary.\n\nFollowing closely on the failure of Joshua, of Singapore, we have telegrams announcing the stoppage of Chang \"Tee, Watseng and Co., and Absoon and Co., both Chinese firms of importance in the Straits and Saigon trade, with heavy liabilities to European firms.\n\nThe mail also brings advices of the failure and arrest for fraud of A. Velge, a commission merchant at Singapore, by which the banks will also lose.\n\nMessrs. Joshua Brothers and Co., of Great Winchester-street, desire it to be stated that their firms, together with the firms of Joshua Brothers, Melbourne, and Joshua Brothers, Mauritius, are in no way related to or connected with the firm of Joshua Brothers, of Singapore, whose suspension has been announced.\n\nCorrespondence from Shanghai by the last two mails has been very gloomy, and failures are expected before the end of the year, notwithstanding the assistance given here to the Silk market by a combination.\n\nBar Silver has again declined, and the nearest quotation we can give is 59d. per oz., at which rate some small parcels have been sold; the market is weak, and a further slight reduction may be looked for.\n\nThe Bank of Holland has decided to buy no more silver at any price. It has hitherto bought silver at 1.104.65 per Dutch pound, and has not varied the price for years.\n\nBANK AND MISCELLANEOUS SHARES.\n\nTELEGRAPH COMPANIES.\n\n£10\n\nChartered Bank Ind., Aust., and China\n\nAll\n\n59 to 54\n\n13 to 15\n\nAll\n\n23 to 25\n\n10\n\n1 to 15\n\n58 to 60\n\nAll\n\nJOINT STOCK BANKS.\n\n£10\n\nAgra Bank\n\n25\n\nBank of Egypt\n\n20\n\n45\n\nChartered Merc. of India and China\n\n20\n\nCity Bank\n\n+14\n\n1.\n\n100\n\nColonial Bank\n\n500fr.\n\nComptoir D'Escompte of Paris...\n\n2291\n\n100\n\nHong Kong and Shanghai Bank\n\n[Imperial Bank\n\n20\n\n28 to 29\n\n50\n\nLondon and County\n\n20\n\n69 to 58\n\n50\n\nLondon Joint Stock\n\n15\n\n48 to 47\n\n100\n\nLondon and Westminster\n\n20\n\n67 to 62\n\nOriental Bank Corporation\n\nAll\n\n$1 to 42\n\n50\n\nUnion of London...\n\n43 to 44\n\n10\n\nBritish Indian Extension\n\nAll\n\n34 to 144\n\n13\n\nBritish Australian...\n\nAn\n\nA to 99\n\n30\n\nChina Submarine.\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nEastern Telegraph Company\n\n10 to 10\n\n10\n\nGreat Northern\n\nAll\n\n10 to 114\n\n25\n\nIndo-European\n\nAll\n\n14 to 30\n\n30\n\nMediterranean Extension\n\nAll\n\n£ to 7\n\n12\n\nTelegraph Construction Company\n\n£24 to 23\n\n60\n\nIndiarubr.,Gutta Percha &Tel.

        "content_text": "# Der Kulihandel\n\n## Ein Aufruf an die Menschheit des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts. Von Franz von Solhendorff\n\nZu allen Seiten ist der Glaube eine Macht gewesen. Er ist es auch noch heute. Gerade diejenigen, welche mit kirchlichen Formen nichts zu thun haben mögen, bekennen sich zu dem festen Glauben, daß die Menschheit in stetig vorwärts schreitender Bildung höheren Zielen der Befitting entgegen geht. Inmitten der unberechenbaren Bereicherung unserer naturwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse, umgeben von den überraschenden Anwendungen neuer Entdeckungen auf Gewerbe und Volkswirthschaft, empfangen wir die Offenbarungen der niemals rastenden Forschung.\n\nEs ist ein Zeichen unserer Zeit, daß wir Angesichts täglicher, in unser Leben tief einschneidender Verbesserungen und Umwandlungen was rückhaltlos dem Glauben an den Fortschritt der Menschheit hingeben. Wer vermöchte zu leugnen, daß dieser Glaube eine Macht in der heutigen Gesellschaft ist, daß er den Trägen anspornt, den Ehrgeizigen reizt, den Zweifelnden Vertrauen läßt und den schlummernden Trieb des Vorwärtsschreitens in minder thatkräftigen Naturen zur Thätigkeit aufreibt? Aber dieser an sich wohltuende Glaube wird zum verderblichen Wahn, wenn er die Gesamtheit der menschlichen Lebensverhältnisse, ohne nähere Unterscheidung naturwissenschaftlicher und sittlicher Verhältnisse, ergreift.\n\nEs giebt in der Gegenwart einen Culturwahn, der auf die Nachtseiten unseres Zeitalters hochmüthig herabblickt. Er meint, daß nach dem Gesetze des Fortschreitens Alles von selbst besser werden müsse, daß es keiner menschlichen Anstrengung bedürfe, um die unser sittliches Dasein bedrohenden Gefahren zu beseitigen. Diesem Glauben an die Vortrefflichkeit der Dinge entstammt die träge Macht des bequemen Scharrens, der unthätigen Meidgültigkeit, einer oft erschreckenden Schamlosigkeit, aus welcher dann die größten Nichtswürdigkeiten die Bedingungen ihres Daseins und Fortwucherns entnehmen.\n\nEs ist Culturwahn, zu glauben, daß die Freiheit der Menschen von selbst komme. Freilich schießen die Mehren der Saatfelder anfangs höher empor, als die Blüthen des Unkrautes. Was würde man aber von dem Landmann sagen, der da meint, daß Unkraut werde sich selbst ausrotten, wenn man nur den Weizen ungehindert emporwachsen lasse? Aus dem sittlichen Culturwahn der Gegenwart und seinen Uebertreibungen entspringt die Gleichgültigkeit, mit welcher die heutige Welt den Rückfällen in die Barbarei zuschaut.\n\nSolche Rückfälle ereignen sich gleichwohl täglich, trotz aller naturwissenschaftlichen Fortschritte. Die Epoche der Religionswirren, des Glaubenshasses, der Verfolgungssucht, die wir für immer beseitigt wähnten, erneuert sich vor unsern Augen. Eigenthum und Familie, die wir als gesicherte Güter unserer Vergangenheit betrachteten, werden von der durch Gemeinlust aufgehetzten Menge von nun an in Frage gestellt. Und umgekehrt, die Heiligkeit der menschlichen Arbeit verfällt der Verachtung derer, welche glauben, durch Börsenspiel im Umsehen reich werden zu können.\n\nMeinten wir nicht, der Sclaverei sei mit dem Siege der nordamerikanischen Union endlich ihre Grabesstätte bereitet worden? Kaum verschwindet an den Gestaden des atlantischen Oceans der Negerhandel, da verpestet die Ufer des stillen Meeres der nichtswürdigste Menschenschacher. Wir sind Zeugen eines Rückfalles in die Sclaverei, deren Opfer der asiatische Kuli ist.\n\nFragt euren Nachbar, ob er etwas von den Kulis gehört habe, ob ihn ihr Schicksal bekümmere? Ich wette darauf, daß Jeder, der eine Zeitung liest, irgendwo einmal auf den Kuli gestoßen sein muß. Ebenso sicher bin ich, daß die meisten der Zeitungsleser sich dabei keinen Augenblick des Nachdenkens gönnen, sondern auf ihrer Wanderung durch die Zeitungsspalten sich gleich den Reisenden, der auf dem Zuge durch unfruchtbare Gegenden fliegt, in eine andere Spalte werfen, ohne nach dem Namen der Station zu fragen, an welcher sie einige Minuten halten.\n\nDie Wenigsten achten es der Mühe werth, zu fragen, welche Bewandtniß es mit den Kulis habe. Es geht sie nichts an, so meinen sie. Ich deute aber, daß es hohe Zeit ist, sich mit dem Kuli zu beschäftigen, denn sein Schicksal belehrt auch uns über die uns bedrohenden Gefahren jenes giftigen Unkrautes, das wir Culturwahn genannt haben.\n\nZuvörderst also: der Kuli ist eine Menschengestalt, welche als Waare verhandelt wird.\n\n| Ziel der Verschiffung | Gegenleistung |\n| --- | --- |\n| nach den amerikanischen Arbeitsmärkten | Verpflichtung, acht Jahre lang gegen geringen Lohn (monatlich nicht ganz sechs Thaler) zu arbeiten, Ueberlassung der Auswanderer nach der Ankunft in Amerika an den Meistbietenden |\n\nMit anderen Worten: Der Auswanderer verpflichtet sich nicht einem bestimmten Herrn und Arbeitsgeber, sondern degradirt sich selbst zu allen Formen eines Vertrages zu einer Sache, die auf den Markt gebracht und etwa wie ein Ballen Kinderhäute je nach der Conjunctur theurer oder billiger öffentlich versteigert wird.\n\nDas schlimmste Schicksal traf diejenigen, welche auf den peruanischen Chincha-Inseln mit der Gewinnung des Guano zu Tode gepeinigt wurden. Auch das Wort Guano mahnt uns an gewisse Formen des Culturwahns. Bildet man sich nicht ein, daß vor hundert Jahren die Folter unter christlichen Nationen abgeschafft wurde? Freilich wohl dem Namen nach gegen verstockte Diebe und Gauner. Was aber in der Republik Peru \"freigeworbene\" Kulis auf den Guano-Inseln auszustehen haben, würde Dante, hätte er dergleichen gekannt, für seine Schilderungen der Hölle verwerthet haben.\n\nBeneidenswerth in Verhältniß zu den Qualen dieser Chinesen war das Schicksal Derer, welche etwa vor hundert Jahren in einsamen Folterkammern die Daumschrauben und spanischen Stiefel oder den gespickten Hafen und ähnliche Marterwerkzeuge kennen lernten. Bereits 1860 rechnete man, daß von viertausend auf den Guano-Inseln gelandeten Arbeitern nicht ein einziger am Leben geblieben war.\n\nJe weniger das Schicksal chinesischer Auswanderer in der Gegenwart verborgen bleibt, je weniger es zur Nachahmung im Reiche der Mitte ernöthigen konnte, desto planmäßiger mußten die Mittel des Menschenfanges in Macao ausgebildet werden. Der Reihe nach entstanden jene zahlreichen Barratuns oder Sclavendepôts, in denen die chinesischen Kulis in der Zwischenzeit zwischen ihrer Anwerbung und ihrer Einschiffung wie in einer Vorrathskammer aufgespeichert wurden.\n\nSobald der Mann das sorgfältig bewachte und vergitterte Eingangsthor passirt hat, öffnet es sich nur noch einmal für ihn, wenn er an Bord des Schiffes in die Heerde seiner Leidensgefährten getrieben wird.\n\nNach allen Regeln anderer Arbeitstheilung betrieben, zerfällt der Kulihandel in mehrere eng ineinander greifende Geschäftszweige. Der erste in der Reihe der Banner ist der chinesische Auswanderungsagent, welcher seine Kopfgelder für jedes Stück empfängt. Unter ihm arbeiten, von ihm angewiesen und angelernt, Menschen, die man das Gesindel der chinesischen Betrüger nennen kann.\n\nSie benußen in öffentlichen Localen die Leichtsinnigkeit des verzweifelnden Glücksspielers, den sie zur Rettung des Verlorenen anspornen, seinen Leib gegen eine Summe Geldes anzuspielen. Der Leichtsinnige, der von ihnen zur Ausschweifung und zum Trunke verlockt wurde, bezahlt die Schulden einer einzigen Nacht mit der Unterschrift, die ihm seine Freiheit, sein Leben kosten wird.\n\nNichts ahnende Handwerker oder Bauern werden unter betrügerischen Vorspiegelungen eingefangen, öfter auch durch unternehmende Seeräuberzüge geraubt und fortgeschleppt. Niemand in den südchinesischen Küstengegenden ist gegen solche Gewaltthat geschützt. Selbst der Verrath spielt seine Rolle, indem er persönliche Feinde dem Menschenhändler überliefert.\n\nAus diesen Frevelthaten, obwohl in jenem Himmelsstriche weltbekannt, geschehen in den täuschenden Formen des Rechts. Chinesische Mandarinen beziehen ihre Procente und der portugiesische Procurator, der in Macao die Auswanderungsschiffe mustert, findet bei seinen Revisionen Alles vorschriftsmäßig.\n\nDie Gesammtkosten für Anwerbung und Transportirung eines Kuli nach Westindien verziffern sich auf etwa dreihundertundfünfzig Thaler. Stimmt man, wie Sachverständige rechnen, den Reinertrag des Geschäfts für jeden Kuli auf einhundert Procent des Capitals an, so wird man anerkennen: diese Speculanten in Macao und Canton haben allen Anspruch darauf, Gründer eines Vermögens genannt zu werden.\n\nDen Portugiesen gesellten sich alsbald, durch so große Erträgnisse angelockt, andere Nationalitäten zu. Die englisch-französischen Verträge von 1860 stipuliren von China die Freiheit der Auswanderung. Seit jener Zeit ist ein englisches und ein französisches Auswanderungsbureau in Canton eröffnet worden.\n\nDas Aufkommen des Kulihandels steht mit der Abschaffung der Negersclaverei in einem unleugbaren Zusammenhange. Sobald die afrikanische Bezugsquelle spärlicher floß, wendete der Scharfblick des menschlichen Eigennutzes sich andern Himmelsstrichen zu.\n\nSpanische Ansiedler des sechszehnten Jahrhunderts waren die ersten, welche Negersclaven nach ihren indischen Besitzungen brachten. Republikanische Abkömmlinge dieser Spanier in Peru waren auch die ersten, welche Kulis (das heißt Handarbeiter niederen Ranges) nach dem östlichen Gestade des stillen Oceans schleppten.\n\nAeußerlich wirkten hierbei zwei Thatsachen zusammen: die im Anfange des vierten Jahrzehntes dieses Jahrhunderts erfolgte Freigebung der bis dahin gehemmten chinesischen Auswanderung und die Abschaffung der Negersclaverei in Peru unter Castilla's Präsidentschaft.\n\nAllmählich verbreitete sich, einer Seuche gleich, das von Peru gegebene Beispiel über andere tropische und subtropische Länder, insbesondere die Antillen, Centralamerika, Guyana, Australien. Unter dem Namen der Auswanderung chinesischer Arbeiter auf Grund von Passagavor-Schuß und Dienstvertrag bildete sich nach und nach ein in allen Einzelheiten sorgfältig ausgebildetes System des Menschenfanges, bei welchem alle Erfahrungen der geschicktesten kaufmännischen Technik und des Rhedergewerbes mit Betrug, Hinterlist, Gewaltthätigkeit, Raub und Mord so innig zusammengewoben sind, daß die Opfer der Gewinnsucht gleichsam in den Schlingen der Gesetzesparagraphen selbst erdrosselt werden.\n\nDas Verfahren in der Hauptsache ist bekannt. Der wichtigste Stapelplatz für den Handel in frischem Menschenfleische ist die an der Mündung des Cantonflusses gelegene altportugiesische Besitzung von Macao, der Freihafen aller denkbaren Nichtswürdigkeiten.\n\nSeit 1847, wo die ersten Auswanderungsschiffe von dort ausliefen, ist das Geschäft in fortwährendem Aufblühen zu kaum glaublicher Ausdehnung emporgeschwollen. Das alte Muster des Auswanderungscontracts war in der Kürze dieses: Freie Ueberfahrt nach den amerikanischen Arbeitsmärkten; als Gegenleistung die Verpflichtung, acht Jahre lang gegen geringen acht Thaler) zu arbeiten, Ueberlassung der Auswanderer nach der Ankunft in Amerika an den Meistbietenden.\n\nWie es den Kulis auf dem Transporte ergeht, darüber sind von Zeit zu Zeit Nachrichten in die Oeffentlichkeit gedrungen, deren Wirkung eine nachhaltige sein würde, wenn sie in gebührender Ordnung und in ihrem Zusammenhange veröffentlicht würden. Zerstreut, entgehen sie aber der nachhaltigen Aufmerksamkeit; sie verfallen dem Schicksale der Vergessenheit mit dem Verschwinden der Zeitungsnummer, die sie gebracht hatte.\n\n\"Höchst werthvolle Mittheilungen enthalten aber die englischen Parlamentsberichte, welche diesem Gegenstande gewidmet sind. Ob sie Alles sagen? - wer weiß es! Mehr als die Wiederholung solcher Schreckensberichte bedeutet vielleicht die statistische Ziffer.\n\nIn dem zwanzigjährigen Zwischenraume zwischen 1847 und 1866 sind allein nach Cuba 211 Fahrzeuge mit 85,768 Kulis verschifft worden. Verstorben unterwegs 11,209!! Wie viele später an Krankheiten und an Selbstmord in kurzer Zeit nach ihrer Ausschiffung endeten, bleibt dunkel.\n\nJedenfalls behält der Chinese nach seiner Landung kaum eine Hoffnung, seine Heimat wiederzusehen. Ein spanisches Gesetz aus dem Jahre 1860 verbot den Aufenthalt freier Chinesen auf Cuba; wer nach Ablauf seines achtjährigen Arbeitscontracts die Rückfahrt nicht zu bezahlen vermag, hat nur die eine Möglichkeit, sich wiederum für acht weitere Jahre zu verdingen, und so fort.\n\nBegreiflich ist es, daß die Chinesen in ihrer Sprache das Kulitransportgeschäft \"Schweinehandel\" nennen.\n\nDie englischen Richter in Hongkong haben zu wiederholten Malen öffentlich in ihren Urtheilen ausgesprochen, daß das Kuligeschäft seiner ganzen Natur nach nichts Anderes sein kann als Sclavenhandel und daß alle sogenannten Regulative zur Beaufsichtigung dieses Gewerbes wirkungslos bleiben.\n\nJenen Richtern gereichte es zur besonderen Ehre, in dem oft genannten ...\n\n## S. Beta\n\n12381 \n\n23 \n\nS \n\nund die jetzt brach liegende, zerstörte Insel zur neuen Blüthe der öffentlichen Meinung als das gebrandmarkt werden, was gelangen. Aber es scheint, der Spaniern ist das 2008 bestellt: | fte stnd. Quem Deus vult perdere, prius dementat, \n\nEbenso wie ihnen, dürfte es allen Romanen in Südamerika gehen. Es ist kein Gewissen mehr in dieser verthierten und täglich sich mehr verindianernden Masse, teine Rasse mehr, tein Patriotismus, kein moralischer Borjat, kein Ziel, zu dem man emporstreben könnte, tein reiner Sinn und tein Belfs geurüth, das ste stüzen könnte. Egoismus, Havgter, Aücinberech, tigungsgefühl haben sich ihnen zu tief eingeimpft. \n\nNiemand wandelt ungestraft unter Palmen, ist ein Cefstagesches Wort, aber es wird zu Schanden an der moralischen Kraft anderer Völker, sobald den Regierungen die Ansicht dämmert, daß es sich darum handelt, trotz der Rassen-Diffusion im gröberen Sinne, die Integrität der Rassen zu erhalten, die, wenn fie einander ohne moralische und gesetzgeberisch bethätigte Reserve im nackten schonungslosen Kampf um's Dasein begegnen, der Knechtschaft und der Tyrannei verfallen, und jenes alleinige Element verlieren, worin die edlen Kräfte der Menschenbrust Blüthen treiben - die Freiheit. \n\nBesonders müßten wir, um dies auf unser Thema anzuwenden, der Einwanderung nach den Vereinigten Staaten erwähnen, deren Mittelpunkt St. Francisco ist, denn diese trägt den Charakter der Freiheit und ist ein Beweis der Möglichkeit, ja der großen Zweckmäßigkeit des freien Verkehres zwischen Mongolen und Europäern, jeder in seiner Eigenart den andern ergänzend, fobald die Ordnung angebahnt, welche das Gehäuft der Eigenart bildet. \n\nNach St. Francisco betrug im Jahre 1871 die Zahl der eingewanderten Chinesen 30,000. Monatlich treffen 3–4 Dampfer ein, die immer neue Kräfte dem Westen zuführen, daß bácirs↑ der Reiz des stens in demselben Maße erweckt ist, wie früher durch die Blüthe der Südstaaten. Schwerlich aber wird es wieder einen Krieg geben, da jeder Vorwand fehlt, als welcher dort die Sklaverei so palpabel sich aufdrängte, denn, wie gesagt, die Chinesen sind hier freie Leute.\n\nSie beschäftigen sich nicht ausschließlich mit Handarbeit, obwohl sie ihre natürliche Unterordnung den Judogermanen gegenüber in dem Lande selten außer Augen ließen, so machen sie doch von dem Rechte ihrer Selbstständigkeit den fruchtbarsten Gebrauch. Sie gründen Handlungshäuser, Vereine, Genossenschaften, sogar Geheimbünde, sog. \"Hoey's\", die sich gegenseitig besetzen, oft blutig und ohne Rücksicht auf ihre Umgebung, aber auch gegenseitig zum wirthschaftlichen Wetteifer anspornen, und werden, wenn sie erst mit Frauen versehen sein werden und Familien zu bilden vermögen, ganz unzweifelhaft zu den schätzenswerthesten Bürgern des Landes zu zählen sein, schätzenswerther bei weitem, als die Irländer und jenes kaukasische Bagabundenthum, das die Schöpfung als für ihre Kommunisten-Unverschämtheiten zum alleinigen Tummelplatz bestimmt aufsteht.\n\nDiesen Brüdern gegenüber hat der Chinese einen schweren Stand, und auch einige Kongreßpilze haben sich schon ins Mittel gelegt, um diesen stimmführenden Patrioten Konzessionen zu machen, aber der zähe, stets schaffende Chinese läßt sich nicht beirren. Er weiß, daß Fleiß der beste Gottesdienst ist in jedem Lande, und unter jeder guten Regierung den verdienten Lohn, die verdiente Beförderung genießen wird, so lange noch Maßßung, Schwindel und privilegirter Raub vor...\n\nOhne ihre Chinesen hätten die Weststaaten - unter denen sich Texas mit neuen Kriminalgesetzen freilich auch nach peruanisch-cubanischem Muster einrichten zu wollen scheint - noch keine Eisenbahnen und keine Fabriken. Es arbeiten z.B. in St. Francisco allein 20,000 Chinesen in Tabakfabriken.\n\nBei alledem ist der Zustand an bedaueru, daß in Folge der Gehässigkeit der amerikanisch-kaukasischen Concurrenten nur wenige dieser Arbeitsblenen im Korbe bleiben, sondern mit ihrem Honig eventuell das Weite suchen. Wird erst für die flotte Einwanderung von Frauen gesorgt, so wird sich dies wohl ändern.\n\nJedenfalls sind die Mängel, die wir im Norden zu beobachten Gelegenheit haben, bei einer organisirten Einwanderung nach Brasilien, wie sie der Kaiser ins Auge gefaßt haben soll, zu vermeiden. Es sollte dieser Punkt bei einer internationalen Vereinbarung, wie sie in Folge des Abusus der Kontraktfreiheit nothwendig angestrebt werden muß, sofort mit in Erwägung gezogen und eine Auswanderungs-, Unstedlungs- und Rassengesetzgebung baldmöglichst erstrebt werden.\n\nDie Deutschen, welche, wie gesagt, noch in nähere Berührung mit den Ostasiaten durch die Kolonisationsgebiete, die sich ihnen wie ihnen in Süd-Amerika eröffnen, kommen könnten, hätten allerlei Grund, dieser Tendenz einen kräftigen Impuls zu geben, schon allein, um sich die Sympathien der Ostasiaten zu erwerben, die, wenn wir sie besitzen, und so leicht nicht verloren gehen können.\n\nAls gewichtige Landmacht in Europa kann Deutschland sehr wohl seinen Einfluß in der ihm natürlichen Richtung internationaler Billigkeit ausüben.\n\nSchon hat China selbst einige Schritte gethan, gedrängt durch die Klagen seiner Söhne im Auslande; die europäischen Regierungen sind gebeten worden, den Kulihandel auf ihren Schiffen nicht zu gestatten und womöglich um Aufhebung jenes Seelenverkäufernestes Macao, das seiner eigenen Regierung nicht mehr gehorcht, sich zu entschließen.\n\nEbenso hat Japan, obwohl mit China sich nicht identifizirend, sich gedrängt gefühlt, sein Veto mit einem fait accompli zu erheben. England, durch seinen Konsul, trat ihm energisch bei, ebenso wie es in den Augen der Chinesen als ein wahrer Schutzpatron dasteht.\n\nDeutschland dagegen - wie erblickt man dieses Reich der Mitte von Europa? Seine Söhne sitzen in Macao als Rheder, ja, als Konsuln, seine Schiffe nehmen die entsetzlich gequälte Ladung auf, seine Matrosen schießen in die lebendigen Fleischmassen hinein und peitschen sie 1007 Mann hinter einander, 3 Tage lang, blutrünstig; in Peru, in Hamburg sind es Deutsche, die mit diesem Handel schwarz sind, ja, als endlich eine Gelegenheit kam, offiziell wenigstens eine Mißbilligung und Verantwortungs-losigkeit diesem Massenmord gegenüber zu dokumentiren, da erklärt der deutsche Konsul in Yokohama sich, im Gegentheil, gegen das gerechte und trotz der größten Provokation milde Verfahren der japanischen Behörden gegen das peruanische Schiff \"Maria Luz\".\n\nWo also erblickt man Deutschland? Auf Seiten ihrer Feinde! Mit den Portugiesen und Peruanern in einer Reihe! Es ist Zeit, hohe Zeit, den Folgen dieser offiziellen Entstellung unseres nationalen Gewissens und Herabsetzung unserer Würde, die sich weder vor Peru, noch vor Portugal in den Staub beugt, schleunigst zuvorzukommen.\n\nS.

Es wurde angenommen, daß unter den obwaltenden Umständen gewaltsame Befreiungsversuche auf hoher See nur als berechtigte Notwehr angesehen werden konnten.\n\nUnd wie oft werden derartige Versuche unternommen! Unterliegen die empörten Kulis der meist trefflich bewaffneten Schiffsmannschaft, so ist das Schicksal der Ueberlebenden um so schrecklicher. Behalten die Kulis die Oberhand, so schonen sie nur das Leben derer, welche erforderlich sind, das Schiff in den nächsten chinesischen Hafen zurückzusteuern.\n\n\"Eine etwas veränderte Gestalt zeigt der Menschenhandel in der Südsee. Dort fehlen mancherlei Rücksichten, die an den Küsten Chinas genommen werden müssen. Rober und gewaltsamer vermag der Menschenfänger der Südsee zu verfahren. Auf dem unermeßlichen Seegebiet Ozeaniens (Australien) ist eine Ueberwachung so gut wie unmöglich. Tiefer ist der Bildungsstand der zum staatlichen Leben noch nicht vorgeschrittenen Insulaner. Die hauptsächlichsten Absatzpunkte für den \"schwarzen Vogeljang\" sind die nördlichste der englischen Austral-Colonien, Queensland, die französischen Besitzungen von Neu-Caledonien und die Fidschi-Inseln, auf denen sich neben der eingeborenen Bevölkerung in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Engländer und Franzosen niederließen, um unter König Katobana's constitutioneller Regierung ihre Geldbeutel möglichst schnell zu füllen. Was zur Abstellung der scheußlichsten Verbrechen des Menschenfangs bisher von der englischen Colonialregierung oder von der Marine unternommen wurde, hat sich als eitle Spiegelfechterei erwiesen.\n\nDas Verfahren, das beim Einfangen der polynesischen Kulis beobachtet wird, ist in der Regel dieses: Sobald in der Nähe der Insel ein fremdes Schiff vor Anker geht, finden sich die Eingeborenen auf ihren Booten ein, um Tauschhandel zu treiben. Ist dies geschehen, so werden durch allerlei Veranstaltungen die Eingeborenen entweder auf das Verdeck gelockt, wozu man als Lockvögel einige Farbige mit sich führt, und alsdann eingefangen. Oder die Boote der Eingeborenen werden von der Schiffsbesatzung mittelst sorgfältig vorbereiteter Veranstaltung zum Umschlagen gebracht. Die alsdann Ertrinkenden werden durch Schrotflinten leicht verwundet oder mit Schlingen so lange gewürgt, auch mit Beulenschlägen betäubt, bis man sie an Bord gebracht hat. Einzelne Menschenfänger verkleiden sich als Missionare, verteilen wertlose Kleinigkeiten, stimmen fromme Gesänge an und täuschen dadurch die arglosen Insulaner. Ist die Ladung ausreichend, so werden die Eingefangenen durch Zwangsmittel aller Art belehrt, mittelst Aufhebung mehrerer Finger und Hersagens einer entsprechenden Ziffer, beispielsweise \"drei\" oder \"vier\", die Anzahl von Jahren auszudrücken, für welche sie sich freiwillig verdungen haben. Sobald alsdann der revidirende Consul in einem englischen Hafen die Eingefangenen mustert und besichtigt, verfahren diese \"vorschriftsmäßig nach der ihnen gewordenen Dressur\": Alles wird amtlich in Ordnung befunden und das Geschäft ist besorgt. Es ist unvermeidlich, daß auch in der Südsee von den Eingefangenen Befreiungsversuche mit meist unglücklichem und blutigem Ausgange unternommen werden.\n\nDen besten Aufschluß über den Hergang der Sache bietet die Geschichte des Piratenschiffes \"Star\" und der Strafproceß, welcher im Herbste 1872 theils in Sydney, theils in Melbourne gegen die Schuldigen verhandelt wurde. Zwei der Betheiligten, darunter der Capitain Armstrong, wurden in Sydney zum Tode verurtheilt; der Hauptschuldige, der Eigenthümer des Schiffes, ein Doctor der Medicin, blieb unverfolgt, nachdem er sich in seiner Eigenschaft als Denunciant die Straflosigkeit als \"Königszzeuge\" durch einen englischen Consul hatte versprechen lassen. Dr. James Patrick Murray, so hieß der Nichtswürdige, segelte im Juni 1871 mit dem \"Carl\" nach Levuka auf den Fidschi-Inseln, wechselte dort aus Vorsicht die Schiffsbesatzung und begab sich auf zwei Unternehmungen oder Geschäftsreisen. Auf einer dieser Reisen brach unter den geraubten Insulanern ein Aufstand aus. Sie bemächtigten sich einiger Bündel von Schiffsplanken, gingen ihren Peinigern zu Leibe, wurden aber durch den Gebrauch der Schußwaffen in ihren Käfig unter Deck zurückgetrieben und hier eingenagelt. Nicht nur die zahlreichen Todten wurden den Wellen preisgegeben, sondern auch sechzehn Schwerverwundete, an Händen und Füßen gefesselt, über Bord geworfen und gleich neugeborenen Katzen ertränkt.\n\nWährend die bereits Ueberwundenen eingespert waren, ließ Dr. Murray durch den Schiffszimmermann ein zollgroßes Loch durch die Planken bohren. In aller Bequemlichkeit und ungefehen feuerte er durch diese Oeffnung seine Revolverkanonen unter den in der Dunkelheit zusammengeballten Menschenhaufen. Fünfunddreißig Todte wurden später über Bord geworfen. Die Ueberlebenden, bei ihrer Ankunft im Ausschiffungshafen gemustert, erklärten in üblicher Weise auf drei Jahre contractlich gemiethet zu sein, und wurden durch die inspicirenden Behörden sämmtlich in gehöriger Ordnung befunden. Dr. Murray behielt seinen Geschäftsgewinn. Ein Mitglied der gesetzgebenden Versammlung von Adelaide in Südaustralien, Herr Blackmore, berichtete in englischen Journalen über diesen Fall mit dem Bemerken, daß alle erdenklichen Maßregeln der Aufsicht vergeblich sein würden und daß es nur ein einziges wirksames Mittel gebe: völliges, absolutes Verbot der Menschenzufuhr. Vergleicht man Murray's That mit derjenigen der fürchterlichsten Verbrecher, so wird man sagen dürfen, daß ... Morsthat, durch welche ganz Europa erschüttert wurde, doch ein Kinderspiel gewesen gegenüber der teuflischen Bosheit, welche aus sicheren Hinterhalt durch ein Loch zum Vergnügen in wehrlose Menschenhaufen hineinfeuert und Schwerverwundete hinterher in die See werfen läßt. Daß die aufgebrachten Südseeinsulaner von Zeit zu Zeit an irgend einem beliebigen Weißen einen Vict der Blutrache vollziehen, ist nicht zu verwundern. Bischof Patterson fiel in seiner Missionarsthätigkeit als eines der Opfer für die Schandthaten Anderer. Dieser ausgezeichnete Geistliche bemerkte übrigens aus Anlaß des Menschenfanges, es sei empörend sowohl als lächerlich, von \"Arbeitscontracten\" zu sprechen; keiner der Südseeinsulaner sei im Stande, den Begriff des Contractes zu verstehen.\n\nWar der alte Sclavenhandel an den afrikanischen Küsten im Vergleich zu diesen Unternehmungen nicht ein ehrliches Gewerbe? Ich meine, ja! Damals kaufte der Sclavenhändler von einem siegreichen Negerhäuptling die Kriegsgefangenen, die er nach barbarischer Sitte einfach hätte abschlachten können. Dem afrikanischen Sclaven ward durch Ankauf das Leben gerettet. Der asiatische Kulihandel ist nicht bloß Gewaltthat, sondern mehr als barbarisch. Es ist jener schnöde, die Formen des Rechts äußerlich nachahmende, aber die Gerechtigkeit schändende Hohn auf die Menschheit, den man zu den schwersten Sünden gegen den heiligen Geist zu zählen hat.\n\nDen Negerhandel nach Amerika haben die Staatsverträge unterdrückt. Eben jetzt versucht man, den Negerhandel nach ... von der afrikanischen Ostküste abzuschneiden. Und den Kulihandel sollte das neunzehnte Jahrhundert nicht als eine Schmach empfinden? Ihr Kirchenfreunde, sendet Missionen unter halbwilde Völker, um sie mit der christlichen Dogmatik und dem Katechismus bekannt zu machen. Aber Ihr schweigt dazu, wenn christliche Regierungen durch ihre Bildung jene Verbrechen ermuthigen, ohne welche der Kulihandel nicht denkbar ist. Sendet vor allem Andern die Boten der christlichen Liebe in die Hauptstadt von Portugal und unter die Pflanzer von Cuba, nach Lima oder Demerara! Ihr Friedenscongresse haltet, um den Krieg zu brandmarken, der für die heiligsten Interessen einer Nation geführt wird, obwohl er die Culturvölker doch immer nur als schnell vorübergehende Geißel bedroht. Bedenkt doch, daß Ihr erst die Wurzeln ausrotten müßt, aus denen der Kulihandel hervorgeht, ehe Ihr von den Anrechten der Menschheit auf friedliche Gesittung sprechen dürft. Ihr rühmt Euch der nach Asien mächtig fortschreitenden europäischen Cultur. Bedenkt, daß Ihr in den Augen der Chinesen nicht viel mehr geltet, denn als Opiumhändler und Menschenräuber. Ihr Freihändler laßt den Russen die Ehre, China die Sclaverei abzuschaffen, und bemüht Euch darzuthun, daß die Nothwendigkeit, für Eure Felder Guano herbeizuschaffen oder aus Australien und Westindien Zucker zu importiren, die Sclaverei der Kulis erfordert! Werdet Ihr vielleicht auch beweisen, daß die volkswirthschaftlich ungehinderte Bewegung des Seehandels jede Einmischung in das Transportgeschäft der Kulischiffe verbietet und daß die Ueberführung der Kulis durch den stillen Ocean nichts anderes ist, als eine Art der Freizügigkeit zwischen Asien und Amerika?\n\nDie englische Regierung war bisher die einzige, welche, die Wucht schwerer Anschuldigungen fühlend, einige schwächliche, völlig unzureichende Versuche machte, dem Unwesen des Kulihandels zu steuern. Aber selbst wenn sie thatkräftiger einschreiten wollte, als je unter dem Banne colonialer Interessen thun wird, immer wäre sie außer Stande, allein ohne Uebereinstimmung mit den übrigen Mächten zum Ziele zu gelangen.\n\nDie beiden Großstaaten, welche wirthschaftlich am Kulihandel am wenigsten interessirt sind, Deutschland und die nordamerikanische Union, haben die nächste Aufgabe, für die Rechte der Menschheit mit ihrem Einfluß einzutreten. Wir haben keine Colonie zu versorgen, keine Pflanzer zu schonen, keinen Widerspruch aus unserer Mitte zu befürchten. Freilich müssen wir mit Beschämung eingestehen, daß auch die deutsche Handelsflagge mit dem Makel der Betheiligung an dem schimpflichen Gewerbe behaftet ist. Um so größer ist unsere Verpflichtung, uns von jeder Mitschuld zu reinigen. So ist die höchste Zeit, daß durch völkerrechtliche Verträge der betrügerischen Ausbeutung ostasiatischer Auswanderung ein Ziel gesetzt, daß insbesondere den Portugiesen in Macao das Handwerk gelegt werde. Tritt Deutschland thatkräftig für diese edle Sache ein und begegnet es ernsthaftem Widerspruche bei anderen Mächten, — wohl, so hat es die Beruhigung, daß es sein Gewissen bewahrt hat, während andere Staaten sich selbst an den Pranger der Weltgeschichte stellen. Ich bin meinerseits nicht befähigt, zu entscheiden, ob durch Völkerverträge die Auswanderung der Kulis mit hinreichend schützenden Formen umgeben werden kann oder gänzlich zu unterdrücken ist. Aber das weiß ich, daß das jetzige System der Ueberfahrts- und Arbeitsverträge nicht länger geduldet werden darf, wenn irgend eine Gemeinschaft christlicher Culturvölker fortbestehen soll. Auf die Zustimmung der Vereinigten Staaten zu einem gemeinschaftlichen Vorgehen ist um so mehr zu hoffen, als diese durch völlig freie und naturgemäße Einwanderung der Chinesen die ihr fehlenden Arbeitskräfte auf das Leichteste ersetzen können. Ebensowenig bezweifle ich die Mitwirkung der italienischen, österreichischen und russischen Regierung. In anderem Sinne als ehemals ist gegen den Kulihandel unter den osteuropäischen Staaten und Rußland eine heilige Allianz zu schließen. Warten wir ab, ob der Geltendmachung der Menschenrechte von Portugal, Spanien und Peru die Vertröstung auf Guano und Zuckerrohr entgegengesetzt werden wird.\n\nWie sich die höchsten sittlichen Aufgaben gleichzeitig immer im Verlaufe der Zeiten auch als die zweckmäßigsten erweisen, so wird in Wahrheit die Abschaffung der neuen mit dem Mißbrauche der Rechtsformen verbrämten Sclaverei dahin führen, daß jene Vorurtheile schwinden, die uns den Weg in das Innere Chinas versperren und welche wir leider angesichts des Kulihandels als unsererseits verschuldet und verdient bezeichnen müßten. Ich glaube nicht, daß der deutsche Reichstag es über sich vermögen wird, die Sache der Kulis als eine unserer Nation gleichgültige von der Hand zu weisen. Er hat ausgesprochen, daß das Privateigenthum des Feindes im Seekriege von habgieriger Wegnahme verschont bleiben sollte, obwohl dies nach dem geltenden Völkerrechte gestattet ist. Und er sollte kein Wort der Klage und der Theilnahme haben, wenn mitten im Frieden Freiheit, Gesundheit und Arbeitskraft einer mit uns in Frieden lebenden Bevölkerung unter betrügerischen Vorstellungen geschädigt und vernichtet werden? Für die Beobachtung der Sonnenfinsternisse in fernen Zonen, für die Ergründung der Meeresfluthen, für die Durchforschung afrikanischer Wüstenstriche, für die Erreichung des Nordpols hätte das deutsche Volk Sinn und Verständniß, und der Wiedereinführung der Folter und der Sclaverei im Kulihandel sollte es gleichgiltig zuschauen? Belehren wir doch die Staatsmänner, die von der Entrüstung des deutschen Volkes so viel faseln, daß wir deswegen eine christliche Nation sind, weil wir den verfolgten Juden Rumäniens beistehen und weil wir die mit Füßen getretenen Rechte der Heiden männlich und entschieden vertheidigen und diese christlichen Pflichten unseren Staatsmännern und Volksvertretern auf das Gewissen zu legen gesonnen sind.\n\nPage 610",

La demande que nous formulons ci-dessus est basée sur de nombreuses expériences, que les fabricants de Bordeaux soussignés sont prêts à recommencer en présence de l'Administration des contributions indirectes.\n\n2° En dehors de cette allocation spéciale à leurs déchets de fabrication, les fabricants liquoristes jouiront de 7 % de déduction de séjour par ou sur tous les liquides qu'ils auront dans leurs entrepôts.\n\n1° Les excédants qui pourraient être constatés par les recensements devront alors être simplement pris en charge, la prise en charge garantissant suffisamment les droits du Trésor.\n\n4° Les manquants continueront, comme dans la loi du 2 août 1872, à n'être passibles que du simple droit.\n\n3° Étant donnée l'insuffisance de l'alambic Salleron, accorder dans les vérifications une tolérance qui puisse compenser la défectuosité reconnue de cet appareil pour la vérification des liqueurs, fruits à l'eau-de-vie et bitter.\n\nEn vous priant de nouveau, monsieur le président, de prendre notre demande en sérieuse considération, et de vouloir bien user de votre haute influence en faveur de nos intérêts, lésés par une loi incomplète, nous vous présentons, monsieur le président, nos respectueuses salutations.» Suivent vingt-trois signatures. Plusieurs autres n'ont pu être apposées, par suite de l'absence des chefs de maison. La chambre de commerce de Bordeaux s'est jointe aux signataires de la pétition pour en attester le bien-fondé et la recommander à l'attention de la Commission du budget.\n\nPROTECTION INTERNATIONALE DES MARQUES DE FABRIQUE.\n\nBULLETIN DE QUINZAINE.\n\nJurisprudence des tribunaux italiens.\n\nLa cour de cassation de Florence vient de clore de la façon la plus heureuse une campagne importante entreprise il y a près de deux ans, sous les auspices de l'Union des fabricants, par plusieurs sociétaires.\n\nUn grand intérêt s'attachait aux instances en cours, en dehors des questions de fait. On sentait, en effet, que de la solution qui serait donnée aux exceptions soulevées dépendait la sécurité des marques françaises en Italie.\n\nIl y avait, dans les procès engagés par MM. Blancard et consorts, à Milan et à Florence, des difficultés juridiques s'appliquant à notre commerce tout entier, et dont les moins apparentes n'étaient peut-être pas les moins redoutables. Pour bien saisir toute la portée du débat, il faut savoir que l'Italie est beaucoup moins unifiée qu'on ne le suppose en France. C'est ainsi, par exemple, qu'il y a encore cinq cours de cassation émettant souvent des décisions notablement divergentes. Ajoutez à cela que la pénalité n'est pas la même pour le même acte dans toutes les provinces du royaume, à tel point qu'un assassin, qui sera guillotiné s'il a opéré sur la rive droite du Serchio, sera seulement condamné à l'ergastolo, s'il a occis sa victime sur la rive gauche — crime à Lucques, ce qui est délit à Pise.\n\nIl va de soi que la procédure se ressent de la pénalité, que les délais d'ajournement varient suivant que l'instance relève du code pénal toscan ou du code pénal italien. On comprend que ces inégalités de traitement sur le même territoire sont une source d'exceptions que les délinquants ne manquent pas d'invoquer, et souvent avec succès. Il s'agissait de savoir, dans l'espèce, si la loi italienne du 30 août 1868 est applicable uniformément, comme pénalité et comme procédure, dans toute l'Italie, ou si l'étranger doit se débattre dans les complications des législations locales. Telle est la question qui a été portée devant la cour suprême de Toscane. On pouvait craindre l'influence d'un sentiment de particularisme d'autant plus explicable que les Toscans jugent, non sans raison, leur code supérieur au code italien, en bien des points sur lesquels il va se faire bientôt un certain bruit dans le Parlement. Mais il était permis, d'autre part, d'espérer que la loi serait interprétée en esprit et en vérité, c'est-à-dire dans le sens d'une application générale à toute la monarchie, car c'était l'avis de l'honorable M. Puccioni, dont l'autorité en pareille matière résulte non seulement de son grand savoir personnel, mais encore de ce fait bien connu que son illustre père est l'auteur du code pénal toscan. L'éminent juriste que la Chambre des députés vient d'élever à la vice-présidence a donc développé devant la cour suprême la véritable thèse de droit en cette matière, à savoir que tous les faits relatifs à la contrefaçon relèvent aujourd'hui de la loi générale édictée le 30 août 1868, et n'ont rien à voir avec les dispositions locales maintenues, à titre transitoire, lors de la formation du royaume d'Italie. La cour de cassation de Florence a adopté sagement cette haute interprétation. Ainsi se trouve simplifiée une question extrêmement importante pour le commerce étranger; mais ce n'est pas la seule que l'arrêt ait tranchée, du moins implicitement. Il résulte en fait de la confirmation des sentences rendues en première instance et en appel que la procédure suivie en cette circonstance est aujourd'hui fixée comme parfaitement correcte. Or la saisie des livres et de la correspondance des contrefacteurs a fait partie de cette procédure et en a été l'une des parties essentielles.\n\nEnfin, la conformité des motifs adoptés par les trois degrés des juridictions implique encore un autre résultat de la plus haute valeur : c'est que le propriétaire d'une marque ne saurait en être dépouillé par ce fait que ladite marque a été contrefaite antérieurement au dépôt, ce qui était établi dans l'espèce. Nous insistons sur ce point, parce qu'il a fait l'objet d'une controverse devant la cour d'appel de Turin qui, il y a deux ans, a incliné vers une solution contraire. On voit que les vrais principes font leur chemin. Il ne serait que juste d'ajouter, en présence des jugements et arrêts récemment rendus à Milan et à Florence, qu'en aucun autre pays, la magistrature ne prend un plus vif souci de la probité commerciale et des progrès du sens moral.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nCDE MAILLARD-MARAFY,\n\nLES JURIDICTIONS CIVILES ET COMMERCIALES. LEURS TRAVAUX EN 1874.\n\nNous publions aujourd'hui la première partie du rapport que M. le garde des sceaux, ministre de la justice et des cultes, vient d'adresser au Président de la République sur l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France pendant l'année 1874. Nous avons cru devoir seulement en retrancher ce qui touche à des matières d'un intérêt de second ordre pour le public auquel nous nous adressons, à savoir : les jugements préparatoires ou interlocutoires (avant-faire-droit), les ordonnances des présidents et les ordres et contributions. En revanche, nous signalons à l'attention particulière de nos lecteurs certains paragraphes dont la portée ne saurait leur échapper. Tel est celui qui est relatif aux ventes judiciaires et qui constate que la diminution du nombre des ventes judiciaires d'immeubles, déjà sensible en 1873, s'est encore accentuée davantage en 1874. Le paragraphe qui concerne les séparations de corps mérite aussi d'être remarqué : il est curieux de voir que le nombre des ordonnances rendues sur ce genre de litige est presque identique en 1874 et en 1873 : 8,293 en 1873 et 8,194 en 1874; que la même égalité se retrouve dans les chiffres des ordonnances de comparution des parties : 4,286 et 4,330; pour le nombre des non-conciliations, il n'y a aussi, entre les deux années, qu'une légère différence — pendant l'année 1874, 3,864 causes seulement ont été renvoyées devant les tribunaux faute d'accord entre les époux, tandis qu'en 1873 il y en avait eu 3,931. Pour ce qui est des ventes judiciaires, la disproportion exorbitante qui existe entre le montant des adjudications et celui des frais démontre péremptoirement, cette année comme l'année dernière, « la nécessité et l'urgence des réformes attendues. » Seulement, tandis que, dans son précédent rapport, M. le garde des sceaux se bornait à exprimer « l'espérance de voir se réaliser, sur ce point, les réformes si équitables qui avaient déjà fixé l'attention du législateur, » il peut, cette fois, donner à l'opinion publique une satisfaction plus complète, en rappelant la présentation faite par lui à la Chambre des députés, au mois de mai dernier, d'un projet de loi sur les ventes des immeubles de peu de valeur, « qui aura pour effet de diminuer les frais auxquels ces ventes donnent lieu. »\n\nRapport au Président de la République française.\n\nMonsieur le Président,\n\nJ'ai l'honneur de mettre sous vos yeux le compte général de l'administration de la justice civile et commerciale en France et en Algérie pendant l'année 1874. Il complète, avec le compte criminel que je vous ai soumis récemment, l'ensemble des travaux de la magistrature en toute matière et à tous les degrés de juridiction.\n\nDe même que j'ai eu la satisfaction, à l'occasion de ce dernier document, de signaler, dans l'expédition des affaires criminelles et correctionnelles, un progrès marqué, une abréviation sensible des délais, je suis heureux de constater que la procédure civile a été également plus rapide en 1874 qu'en 1873. Cette amélioration est d'autant plus appréciable que, dans les procès civils, l'initiative appartient aux parties et que les obstacles opposés par leur négligence ou leur mauvais vouloir au zèle des magistrats sont souvent insurmontables.\n\nLa presque similitude des résultats obtenus durant les deux années doit rendre nécessairement très concise l'analyse des travaux accomplis en 1874 par les cours et tribunaux en matière civile et commerciale.\n\nPREMIÈRE PARTIE.\n\nCour de cassation. — Le nombre des pourvoît en cassation formés en 1874 s'est élevé à 3,350, ou 112 de plus qu'en 1873. Cette augmentation provient uniquement des pourvois en matière électorale (203 au lieu de 49).\n\nCes 3,350 pourvois étaient dirigés contre des décisions émanant 418 des cours d'appel, 143 des tribunaux civils, 41 des tribunaux consulaires, 204 des justices de paix, 29 des jurys d'expropriation, 2 des chambres de notaires, 1 du conseil de l'ordre des avocats au conseil d'État et à la cour de cassation. Les 12 autres consistaient en 8 demandes en règlement de juges et 4 réquisitoires.\n\nLa chambre des requêtes a reçu 813 de ces mêmes pourvois et la chambre civile 34 (affaires d'expropriation forcée pour cause d'utilité publique. Art. 20 de la loi du 10 mai 1841). Deux des quatre réquisitoires et le pourvoi formé contre la décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation ont été portés directement devant les chambres réunies.\n\nAu 1er janvier 1874, il restait au rôle 440 pourvois. Avec les 813 qui lui ont été renvoyés pendant l'année, c'est un total de 1,253 affaires sur lesquelles la chambre des requêtes avait à statuer. 764 ont été terminées en 1874, savoir : 470 par des arrêts de rejet, de déchéance ou de non-recevabilité, 263 par des arrêts d'admission (dont 33 de cassation en matière électorale), 24 par des désistements, 4 par des règlements de juges et 1 par un arrêt en matière disciplinaire. Le rôle contenait donc encore, au 31 décembre, 489 pourvois.\n\nLa chambre civile avait à se prononcer, en 1874, sur 361 affaires : 104 anciennes et 257 nouvelles. Elle en a réglé 256 par des arrêts : 92 de rejet, 137 de cassation et 7 donnant acte de désistement, et légué à l'année suivante 105.\n\nQuant aux chambres réunies, elles ont rendu 3 arrêts : 1 de rejet, 1 en matière disciplinaire et 1 qui homologuait une décision du conseil de l'ordre des avocats à la cour de cassation.\n\nEn résumé, si l'on écarte des indications ci-dessus les chiffres qui représentent les arrêts d'admission de la chambre des requêtes et qui font double emploi avec ceux de la chambre civile, on voit que la cour de cassation a rendu 754 arrêts définitifs, parmi lesquels 191 annulaient les décisions attaquées ; c'est le quart (25 %) ou quatre centièmes de moins qu'en 1873.\n\nLe code de commerce est celui dont les dispositions paraissent avoir été le moins bien interprétées par les cours et tribunaux dont les arrêts et jugements ont été frappés de pourvois ; le rapport des cassations au nombre total des arrêts rendus en matière commerciale se chiffre par 36 sur 100, tandis que pour les affaires dont la solution se trouve dans les codes civils ou de procédure civile, la proportion n'est que de 20 % ; elle est de 28 % à l'égard des procès qui ont leur source dans l'application des lois spéciales.\n\nDEUXIÈME PARTIE.\n\nCours d'appel. Pendant l'année 1874, les vingt-six cours d'appel de France avaient à juger 16,436 affaires civiles ou commerciales, se divisant de la manière suivante : 5,667 restant des années précédentes, 146 réinscrites après radiation, 68 revenant sur opposition à des arrêts par défaut prononcés antérieurement à l'année du compte, et 10,555 inscrites pour la première fois ; ce dernier chiffre est inférieur de 123 à celui de 1873.\n\nLes cours ont jugé contradictoirement près des trois quarts des procès terminés : 8,105 sur 11,056, ou 73 % ; elles ont rendu 309 arrêts par défaut (5 %) ; enfin, 2,642 causes (22 %) ont été rayées du rôle après transaction. Il restait donc à statuer, à l'expiration de l'exercice, sur 5,380 affaires ; c'est 287 de moins qu'à l'époque correspondante de 1873, et cependant les cours avaient eu à juger 616 causes de plus ; la situation générale s'est donc améliorée.\n\nBien que les cours d'appel aient terminé 903 affaires de plus en 1874 qu'en 1873, elles ont prononcé 54 avant-faire-droit de moins. Le rapport des arrêts préparatoires ou interlocutoires aux affaires rayées du rôle, qui était de 1 sur 20 en 1870, est de 1 sur 24 en 1874.\n\nDes 5,380 causes restées indécises au 31 décembre, 2,615 constituaient l'arriéré légal prévu par l'article 80 du décret du 30 mars 1808 ; c'est près de la moitié : 49 %. En 1873, le chiffre réel avait été de 3,007 sur 3,667 et le chiffre proportionnel de 53 %. Ce résultat est dû exclusivement à la cour de Paris, qui a prononcé la radiation d'un grand nombre d'affaires qui figuraient au rôle depuis plusieurs années et qui étaient, en réalité, abandonnées.\n\nEn 1874 comme en 1873, le nombre proportionnel des appels formés est de 11 % pour les jugements rendus en matière civile par les tribunaux d'arrondissement, de 12 % pour ceux qui émanaient des tribunaux spéciaux de commerce et de 10 % pour ceux qui ont été prononcés par les tribunaux civils jugeant commercialement.\n\nMais le résultat de ces appels diffère légèrement : le chiffre des confirmations de jugements civils ou commerciaux est de 71 % en 1874, tandis qu'il n'avait été, en 1873, que de 69 % en matière civile et de 70 % en matière commerciale. Si, pour cette dernière catégorie, on distingue les tribunaux consulaires des tribunaux civils, on remarque entre eux une différence de dix centièmes : 72 confirmations pour 100 décisions des premiers et 62 % des seconds. Eu égard à 1873, la première de ces proportions s'est accrue de 2 % ; la seconde, au contraire, a diminué de 7 %.\n\nDans leurs rapports avec les dispositions législatives appliquées, les arrêts confirmatifs se chiffrent de la manière suivante : code civil 69 % ; code de procédure civile, 63 % ; code de commerce, 67 % ; et matières diverses prévues par des lois spéciales, 69 % — l'écart est très peu sensible.\n\nAdoptions. Les actes d'adoption soumis aux cours d'appel ont été moins nombreux que précédemment. Il y en avait eu 110 en 1873, et 138 en 1872 ; il n'y en a plus que 93 en 1874. À l'égard de 6 de ces derniers, les cours ont déclaré qu'il n'y avait pas lieu à adoption.\n\nOn comptait parmi les adoptants 28 hommes, 39 femmes et 26 conjoints agissant de consentement mutuel. Les deux tiers d'entre eux (60) étaient propriétaires rentiers ou exerçaient des professions libérales.\n\nLes adoptés, au nombre de 103, étaient 59 hommes et 41 femmes. 42 ne tenaient aux adoptants par aucun lien de parenté ; 19 étaient leurs neveux ou nièces ; enfin, 32 étaient des enfants naturels, dont 22 avaient été reconnus.\n\nTROISIÈME PARTIE.\n\nTribunaux de première instance. — Pendant l'année 1874, il a été inscrit 125,248 affaires civiles aux rôles des tribunaux d'arrondissement ; ce chiffre avait été de 130,613 en 1873. Cette différence provient, sans aucun doute, de l'élévation des droits de timbre et d'enregistrement, qui arrête, au début, un grand nombre de procès.\n\nÀ ces 125,248 causes nouvelles il convient, pour avoir l'ensemble des affaires du rôle, d'en ajouter 31,770 qui avaient été léguées par l'année précédente, 11,363 qui ont été réinscrites après avoir été considérées comme terminées, et 1,719 qui sont revenues sur opposition à des jugements par défaut rendus antérieurement ; c'est donc un total de 170,302 affaires, se divisant en 88,923 ordinaires, et 81,379 sommaires. (Art. 404 du code de procédure civile.)\n\nVoici les suites qu'elles ont reçues : plus des huit dixièmes (140,381 ou 82 %) ont disparu des rôles pendant l'année, savoir : 70,947 (la moitié) en vertu de jugements contradictoires, 34,542 (un quart) en vertu de décisions par défaut, et 35,202 (le dernier quart) par suite de transaction ou de désistement. Il en restait à juger, à la fin de l'année, 29,921, dont 9,539 avaient déjà donné lieu à des jugements d'avant-faire-droit.\n\nIndépendamment des 105,089 jugements définitifs rendus dans les affaires du rôle, les tribunaux civils en ont prononcé 84,946 sur requête ou sur rapport : 43,013 (plus des trois quarts ou 76 %) en audience publique, et 13,333 (24 %) en chambre du conseil. Le nombre des affaires non inscrites a également diminué ; il y en a eu 1,338 de moins en 1874 qu'en 1873.\n\n783\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS.\n\n...\n\n317",

Elle possède 315 maisons, habitées par 875 ouvriers de toutes catégories, c'est-à-dire plus de la moitié du personnel employé. Pour recruter le nouveau personnel qui lui sera nécessaire lorsque les trois sièges complets seront en pleine activité, la compagnie devra encore construire d'ici à trois ans 400 à 480 maisons, soit un total de 915 à 963. L'établissement des nouveaux sièges d'extraction prévus ne fera qu'augmenter ce nombre. Comme toutes les compagnies des mines du Pas-de-Calais, celle de Marles a fondé une caisse de secours et installé des écoles à Marles et à Auchel pour l'instruction de sa population ouvrière.\n\nChemins de fer. La compagnie de Marles possède 14,500 environ de voies ferrées, reliant ses différents sièges d'extraction et l'ancienne fosse de Marles avec la gare de Chocques, située sur la ligne des houillères, et la gare de Lapugnoy, sur la ligne de Béthune à Saint-Pol. Cette dernière ligne, récemment mise en activité, traverse toute la région sud-est de la concession, dans laquelle la compagnie doit établir plus tard un ou deux puits, en se rapprochant des confins de la concession de Bruay. Le nouvel embranchement du n° 5 est fait en rails d'acier Bessemer; on en fera la substitution peu à peu sur le restant de l'ancienne ligne. La majeure partie des charbons de Marles s'expédie par chemin de fer. On en débite 230 à 300,000 hectolitres sur les carreaux des fosses et au dépôt de Chocques. Jusqu'à présent, les expéditions par bateau ont été très-peu importantes au petit rivage que la compagnie possède à Béthune et où les transports doivent encore se faire par voiture. Cette question de rivage n'a pas encore reçu de solution définitive, et la compagnie espère même par l'établissement de son port sec au n° 3 d'Auchel, et avec les débouchés que lui créent les voies ferrées nouvelles, n'avoir pas besoin de faire les frais d'une telle installation toujours très-coûteuse, ou de n'y recourir qu'à une époque encore assez éloignée.\n\nF. LAUR, Ingénieur civil des mines.\n\nL'INSTRUCTION PUBLIQUE EN ALSACE-LORRAINE (1).\n\nL'UNIVERSITÉ DE STRASBOURG,\n\nSi nous avons à nous plaindre beaucoup de la situation actuelle de l'enseignement primaire et secondaire, l'organisation de l'enseignement supérieur en Alsace-Lorraine est maintenant plus complète et constituée sur une base plus large que jamais. Si le gouvernement nous laissait la liberté pour les écoles privées, au lieu de s'abandonner à l'idée malheureuse de couler dans un même moule toutes les têtes de la jeunesse alsacienne, nous n'aurions que des éloges pour ses énergiques efforts en faveur du développement de l'instruction. A l'Université cependant, la liberté d'enseignement subsiste dans son acception la plus large, avec la libre concurrence comme corollaire et comme stimulant. Dotée largement, servie par des maîtres distingués, cette institution réunit les conditions pour favoriser les progrès de la science et sa diffusion rapide. Toutes les branches des connaissances humaines sont représentées dans son programme. Certaines branches comptent même plusieurs chaires, de manière à entretenir une émulation féconde entre les maîtres, émulation excitée par la concurrence des professeurs libres. Tout jeune homme peut ouvrir un cours à côté des professeurs en titre, certain de trouver parmi les élèves de l'Université un auditoire nombreux, s'il manifeste une supériorité réelle soit par l'importance de ses découvertes, soit par le talent de son exposition.\n\nAinsi, les talents les plus précoces peuvent se produire ou se manifester à l'avantage de la science, comme dans l'intérêt de l'enseignement, grâce à un afflux incessant de forces nouvelles. Nous avons trop souvent critiqué les actes de l'administration allemande pour ne pas rendre justice à ses innovations utiles et vraiment fécondes. Peut-être tout le monde n'acceptera pas sans réserve l'éloge de la nouvelle institution fondée dans le but avoué de germaniser le pays. Par le rétablissement de l'Université de Strasbourg, le gouvernement a voulu « consacrer la réunion de l'Alsace-Lorraine à l'Empire allemand, afin que l'esprit du peuple alsacien fécondé à nouveau reconnaisse son retour à l'ancienne patrie. » Dans l'esprit de ses promoteurs, l'Université forme « le lien qui unira le pays nouveau à l'Empire allemand. » L'unité nationale allemande a trouvé dans ces universités une première réalisation. C'est au sein des universités que se répand par toute l'Allemagne cet énergique sentiment d'unité nationale qui, malgré d'anciennes et profondes divisions, finit par enflammer la population de tous ses États et lui donne sa puissance actuelle. Mais les cœurs ne cèdent pas à la violence et ne se laissent pas prendre d'assaut par force comme une citadelle. La persuasion seule gagne les cœurs. Notre jeunesse, retenue par des sympathies qui survivent à la conquête matérielle, résiste encore à l'esprit allemand et évite les écoles chargées de lui inculquer cet esprit. Cette réserve et ces sympathies, nous les comprenons, sans méconnaître pour cela la valeur de la jeune université élevée au milieu de nous, ni sa force incontestable, ni ses promesses pour la science, ni sa supériorité sur les institutions qu'elle remplace, ni son organisation large et libérale, digne de servir d'exemple dans le mouvement engagé pour la rénovation de l'enseignement supérieur en France, sous le régime de la liberté nouvellement acquise sous les incitations de la libre concurrence. Sans contredit, l'Université de Strasbourg occupera désormais un rang distingué parmi ses rivales d'Allemagne.\n\nOn loue beaucoup les Universités allemandes. Elles le méritent. En affirmant leur supériorité manifeste sur la plupart des institutions similaires de France, nous ne sommes pas seuls de notre avis. Un de nos concitoyens les plus distingués, dont nul ne contestera ni la compétence, ni les vues libérales, ni l'ardent patriotisme, M. Charles Schutzenberger, soutenait la même thèse dans un livre (1) écrit, à la veille de la guerre et de l'annexion, en faveur de la réforme de l'enseignement supérieur. « Pas un de nos étudiants, écrivait alors le savant professeur de la Faculté de médecine de Strasbourg, pas un de nos étudiants revenant d'une tournée dans les Universités d'outre-Rhin, qui ne signale avec un sentiment d'amour-propre national froissé l'infériorité relative de nos institutions. » Elles « souffrent du manque absolu d'initiative et d'autonomie, qui entrave leur propre mouvement; leur situation est inférieure à celle des écoles allemandes..... Le personnel des facultés ne compose qu'un agrégat de fonctionnaires. Chaque professeur a sa tâche réglementaire tracée par le programme général de son cours. Ce cours fait avec l'ordre et la régularité voulue, il marge les appointements qui lui sont assignés, il n'a pas à s'immiscer dans l'administration. » Et ailleurs: « La science acquise et traditionnelle et les branches les plus essentielles de l'enseignement se trouvent représentées par le corps des professeurs titulaires. Ceux-ci touchent un traitement fixe, aujourd'hui inférieur aux besoins les plus impérieux de la vie de famille..... L'enseignement pratique qui conduit à l'initiation des méthodes d'investigation et des recherches scientifiques n'existe pas. On apprend la botanique dans les livres, la chimie et la physique dans les cours théoriques, appuyés de quelques expériences faites par le professeur assisté de ses aides, la physiologie dans des leçons orales dépourvues d'expérimentation..... A toutes ces écoles, l'absolutisme de l'administration imprime un cachet d'infériorité légale et positive, tout en les décorant par ses propres règlements du titre d'institution du haut enseignement. »\n\nTelle était la situation de l'enseignement supérieur dans notre pays quand retentit ce cri d'alarme. Sous l'effet de la libre concurrence, l'enseignement secondaire florissait et répondait aux besoins de l'époque; mais le monopole exclusif du haut enseignement aux mains de l'État laissait en arrière les diverses Facultés de province. Ces établissements, parce qu'ils ne progressaient plus, allaient à la décadence ou revenaient en arrière, comme le nocher dont parle le poète latin.\n\nNon aliter quam qui adverso vix flumine lembum Remigiis subigit, si brachia forte remisit Atque illum in preceps prono rapit alveus amni.\n\nLa liberté d'enseignement et la libre concurrence réalisées dans toutes et entre toutes les Universités allemandes manquaient aux écoles supérieures de la France. Sous le régime du monopole, la vie s'était affaiblie dans nos centres d'instruction. Sous le stimulant de la concurrence et de la liberté, les écoles des pays voisins faisaient chaque jour de nouveaux progrès. Ce n'était pas que les ressources nous manquassent pour aller de l'avant. Nous manquions seulement du moyen de mettre ces ressources en valeur. Or, le moyen, pour l'avons dit, et nous le répétons, c'était, ce sera toujours la liberté.\n\nLa liberté jouit d'un merveilleux pouvoir. Dans le domaine de l'instruction, elle suscite d'abord l'émulation, principe du progrès. Avec l'émulation une fois excitée, viennent ensuite comme conséquence nécessaire ses moyens d'entretien de nature diverse. Partout s'établit la concurrence, concurrence entre les écoles rivales, concurrence au sein même de chaque école. Chaque école peut affirmer son succès par le renom de ses maîtres et le nombre de ses élèves.\n\nPour gagner ou pour retenir son auditoire, chaque professeur doit entourer son enseignement de plus d'éclat. La libre concurrence entre les écoles rivales engage chacune à multiplier les chaires, afin d'embrasser tout le cadre du savoir humain, tandis qu'à l'intérieur de chaque école, elle autorise, pour toutes les branches de l'enseignement, l'ouverture de cours libres et privés à côté du cours officiel des professeurs en titre. Les élèves choisissent leurs maîtres librement pour chaque branche du programme d'études, de même qu'ils sont libres d'entrer à l'école de leur choix. De là, comme conséquence, dérive la nécessité pour les professeurs d'améliorer sans cesse leur enseignement par de constants efforts, pour les écoles d'améliorer la position des professeurs de manière à accroître leur renom. Le secret du succès des Universités allemandes réside dans ces deux moyens. Ce n'est pas tout. Au lieu d'être soumises à une administration commune, les Universités de l'Allemagne se gouvernent elles-mêmes par des professeurs librement élus avec une grande liberté d'action et d'initiative, tout en recevant de l'État de larges subventions.\n\nConstituée sur le plan des autres Universités allemandes, la nouvelle Université de Strasbourg présente maintenant une organisation bien différente de celle de l'ancienne académie. Son personnel enseignant comprend trois sortes de professeurs: les professeurs ordinaires nommés par l'empereur, les professeurs extraordinaires nommés par le chancelier, les professeurs libres autorisés à faire des cours réguliers et publics par la Faculté. Les professeurs ordinaires représentent le personnel permanent et l'élément stable de l'institution. Leur nombre limité se trouve en rapport avec les chaires destinées aux branches les plus essentielles de l'enseignement d'une Faculté. Nommés à vie, comme dans les Facultés de France, ils jouissent de certaines prérogatives et touchent seuls un traitement fixe qui, d'ailleurs, ne forme qu'une partie de leurs honoraires. Les professeurs extraordinaires, mais surtout les, ou Privatdocenten, sont des cours accessoires rétribués, comme ceux des professeurs ordinaires, par les élèves. Les uns et les autres disposent également des éléments matériels nécessaires pour l'enseignement, et que l'Université met libéralement à leur service.\n\nIl en résulte une lutte d'émulation permanente du maître en titre avec des forces plus jeunes. Sous peine de déchoir, la vieille réputation du professeur en titre doit grandir incessamment, car il n'a pas le monopole de l'enseignement de la branche scientifique représentée par sa chaire. A côté de lui, dans le sein de la Faculté même qu'il représente, deux ou trois professeurs ordinaires ou libres peuvent enseigner la même matière.\n\nLes élèves astreints à suivre un certain nombre de cours réglementaires suivent le maître qui leur convient le mieux pour les diriger dans leurs études. Pour être admis aux examens académiques, comme pour les examens d'État, il faut au candidat des certificats de présence aux cours réglementaires, certificat d'une scolarité régulièrement accomplie, sans que le certificat du professeur ordinaire donne plus de droit que celui du professeur extraordinaire ou du professeur libre; même les diplômes et les titres de toutes les Universités de l'Allemagne ont une égale valeur dans tous les États particuliers. Élèves et professeurs, qu'ils soient Badois, Prussiens ou Bavarois, passent indistinctement d'une Université à l'autre pour y étudier ou y enseigner. La science allemande trouve dans son organisation universitaire, fondée sur l'autonomie et la libre concurrence, un instrument de progrès sans lequel elle n'aurait jamais atteint sa hauteur actuelle.\n\nSi vous jetez un coup d'œil sur le vaste programme des matières enseignées dans les Universités allemandes, vous serez frappé d'étonnement. Sauf dans les écoles de Paris, qui comptent encore parmi les premières du monde, la plupart des Facultés des sciences et des lettres en France ne comptent que cinq professeurs; il y en a cent trente-cinq à l'Université de Berlin, soixante-dix à l'Université de Koenigsberg, contre trois cent quarante-huit dans toutes les Facultés des quinze divisions académiques de la France en 1870. La Faculté des sciences et la Faculté des lettres de Strasbourg, plus favorisées que d'autres, avaient alors treize professeurs, contre trente-six à la Faculté de philosophie et des sciences de l'Université actuelle. L'Université actuelle compte un total de quatre-vingts professeurs, répartis entre les cinq Facultés de théologie, de droit, de médecine, de philosophie, des sciences naturelles et mathématiques.\n\nChaque faculté, composée de l'ensemble des professeurs ordinaires, élit son doyen; les facultés réunies nomment ensemble un recteur de l'Université et se prononcent sur les changements à introduire aux statuts. Les fonctions du recteur et du doyen durent une année. A côté du recteur, il y a encore le sénat et la chambre disciplinaire. Le sénat surveille avec le recteur la marche de l'institution; il comprend, outre les doyens de chaque faculté, un délégué choisi parmi les professeurs de la faculté. La chambre disciplinaire, composée du recteur, du pro-recteur et d'un syndic pris dans la faculté de droit, règle les questions de police intérieure. Une commission administrative spéciale gère les biens de l'Université, sous réserve de faire connaître des résultats de sa gérance à la cour des comptes de l'empire. En ce qui concerne les études, les professeurs ordinaires et extraordinaires de chaque faculté doivent passer en revue, dans le délai de trois semestres, toutes les branches essentielles de l'enseignement. Tous les professeurs en titre des facultés ont à soumettre au doyen le programme de leur cours, la faculté dans son ensemble devant se prononcer sur les compléments à ajouter ou les modifications à faire au plan des lectures.\n\n727\n\nAvant les réformes que la France est en voie d'introduire dans l'organisation du haut enseignement, la caisse de l'État ne dépensait rien pour cette branche de l'instruction publique, et en tirait au contraire un revenu au détriment de ses intérêts réels. Le gouvernement tente maintenant de grands efforts en vue d'améliorer cette situation, et il n'est que temps, car de mauvais calculs et un esprit étroit ont pu seuls inspirer la pensée d'une économie faite aussi mal à propos. Partout où une économie est réalisable dans l'administration des services publics, nous la recommandons avec instance. Dans les conditions présentes, l'intérêt du pays commande de faire plus large la part de l'instruction. Réduire le budget de l'enseignement serait une faute politique des plus graves, et pour qui se rend un compte exact des choses, les nations qui dépensent le plus au profit de l'instruction sont devenues les nations les plus avancées. Voyez l'exemple de la Prusse. Cette année-même, ce pays consacre à l'entretien de ses neuf universités 6,577,397 marks, ou 8,228,746 francs, dont 4,820,841 marks, ou 6,026,080 francs fournis par la caisse de l'État. En France, le budget de 1870 attribuait au service des facultés une somme totale de 4,215,521 fr. seulement. Pour l'Alsace-Lorraine, le crédit mis à la disposition de l'Université de Strasbourg, en 1876, s'élève à 894,699 marks ou 1,118,302 francs. Eu égard à la population, la dépense respective par tête d'habitant est de 0 fr. 70 c. en Alsace-Lorraine, 0 fr. 12 c. en France, 0 fr. 33 c. en Prusse.\n\nSur le total de 894,690 marks pour l'Université de Strasbourg, il y en a 872,740 de dépenses ordinaires, et 21,930 de dépenses extraordinaires: celles-ci attribuées à l'installation des laboratoires et des instituts. La caisse de l'empire contribue aux dépenses pour une somme de 400,000 marks en 1876, somme à laquelle il faut ajouter 47,737 marks de recettes ordinaires, non compris la rétribution des cours payés aux professeurs par les élèves. Les recettes ordinaires comprennent 22,425 marks provenant de fondations, 15,480 marks provenant de droits d'immatriculation et d'examen, 6,83 marks provenant d'indemnités diverses et d'abonnements à la salle de lecture de l'Université, 2,100 marks pour supplément au traitement du professeur chargé du levé géologique du pays, et 600 marks pour supplément au questeur et au caissier pour le service de la bibliothèque.\n\nEn Prusse, le produit des fondations, en 1876, donne une recette de 843,319 marks pour l'ensemble des neuf universités, dont 414,596 pour la seule Université de Greifswald, et 63,883 à l'Université de Koenigsberg, pour stipendes à quatre-vingt-sept étudiants pauvres. A Strasbourg, les stipendes coûtent par année 19,425 marks, mis à la disposition du sénat chargé de les répartir suivant les demandes que chaque étudiant de l'Université a droit de lui soumettre. La rétribution régulière des professeurs s'élève chez nous à 512,600 marks pour cinquante-six professeurs ordinaires, dix-neuf professeurs extraordinaires...\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nL'ÉCONOMISTE FRANÇAIS,\n\n...suite de l'article précédent.\n\n727",

Urgent appeals are to hand for aid, and the Relief Committee here have resolved on adopting the same line of action that was pursued last year, namely, canvassing the foreign settlements at this place, writing to the outports, including Hongkong and Japan, and, in addition, to telegraph to England and America.\n\nLast year the Colony of Hongkong responded liberally to the appeals that were made for Shantung, and the necessities of the case compel us to renew our appeals this year, also in the hope that they will be as effective as they were then.\n\nWe have been appointed to write your Excellency for this purpose, and to lay the matter before you, requesting that such means may be carried out at Hongkong, as may be thought most suitable. Your kind attention to this will be the occasion of much thankfulness to the members of our Relief Committee and it is desired that any monies contributed for the object may be sent to the Treasurer of the Fund, F.

MISSION HOUSE, HONGKONG, 7th February, 1878.\n\nEXCELLENCY,-The appalling news of the horrors of famine, which I almost daily receive from the North of China, compels me to recur to the generosity of the heart of Your Excellency, craving for a relief for so many famine-stricken fellow-creatures. As Procurator of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide, I continually receive letters from the heads of the Italian Missions, that is the Provinces of Shen-Shi, Shan-Shi and Honan, the Provinces most suffering from famine. My great friend the Right Reverend Bishop VOLONTERI, Vicar Apostolic of Honan, well known here in Hongkong where he worked as Missionary for 10 years and who made the so widely spread chart of the San-on district) writes me in date of 12th January, that the horrors of famine are so great, that fathers are seen eating the corpse of their children, and children assisting at the death of their fathers, eating them immediately as they have expired. Indeed the local Mandarins do something, but quite powerless for so many dying people in those huts where at times some 5 or 6 thousand people collected receive a daily soup by the Government, some 60 or 100 corpses are extracted every day.\n\nAfter such terrible description of the horrors of famine, the Right Reverend Bishop VOLONTERI, and the Right Reverend Bishop LING, Vicar Apostolic of Shan-Shi pray me to do all that lay in my power to find some relief for so many poor creatures, whom they are condemned to see dying every hour around them, unable as they are through poverty to stretch forth their hands to help them. I urged by such pitiful motives take courage to put my humble petition for some relief in the hands of Your Excellency, knowing the sincere feelings of charity which animates your heart, and hoping that the Colonial Government, which was so liberal last year for the poor people of Shantung Province will also come to the help of those of Shan-Shi and Honan.\n\nI have, &c.,  \nG. BURGHIGNOLI,  \nProcurator of Propaganda Fide.\n\nHis Excellency  \nJOHN POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.,  \nGovernor of Hongkong,  \n&c.,  \n&c.,  \n&c.\n\n# THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH FEBRUARY, 1878.\n\n## GOVERNMENT HOUSE, MADRAS, 11th January, 1878.\n\nSIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of two drafts amounting to Rupees 543.10.4, towards the Famine Relief Fund.\n\nI beg that you will convey to Bishop RAIMONDI and to the Officers and Men of the Portuguese Gun-vessel Tejo, my best thanks for the remittance.\n\nI remain, &c.,  \nBUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS.\n\nHis Excellency JOHN POPE HENNESSY, Esq.,  \nGovernor of Hongkong.\n\n## GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\n### TEACHING OF ENGLISH IN THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.\n\nThe following Letters and Minutes are published for general information.\n\nBy Command,  \nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th February, 1878.\n\n[No. 15.]  \nJ.

I have already, in my Letter No. 3 of 7th instant, (C.S.O. No. 38), reported that the Grants-in-Aid this year are in excess of the sum voted for the purpose. I trust, however, that His Excellency the Governor, on considering the circumstances of the present year, will not object to making provision for this further sum; and I shall be glad if the Warrant for payment is issued in time to enable me to pay the Masters on the 1st proximo, before they go home for their New Year holidays.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour most obedient Servant,  \nFREDERICK STEWART,  \nInspector of Schools.\n\nThe Honourable J.

GARDINER AUSTIN,  \nColonial Secretary.\n\n### Minute by His Excellency the Governor.\n\nI have already sanctioned the extra payments in accordance with Mr. STEWART's recommendation, subject to the approval of the Legislative Council.\n\nOn visiting some of these Village Schools, I found the Schoolmasters could not speak a word of English, and as far as I could ascertain, none of the pupils had any knowledge of English.\n\nPossibly, in some of the Government Schools I have not yet been able to visit, there may be instruction in English; I should therefore be glad if Mr. STEWART would make out a list of the Schoolmasters of the Village Schools, marking in each case, those who can teach English, and those who cannot. Also the total number of pupils in each Village School, and the number in each that can speak English.\n\nJ. POPE HENNESSY,  \n29th January, 1878.",

Constant action is required; you should avoid useless discussion and instead of obey the majority, or at least carry on discussion without insults.

The former made representations in reference to the proposed composition of the extraordinary tribunal to be established at Erzeroum. It was intended that the tribunal should consist of four Muslims and four Christians. Safvet Pacha has, in accordance with Sir Henry Layard's request, offered certain Armenians the post of Mostechar to the superior Turkish functionaries. These Armenians having declined his offer, Sir H Layard had an interview with the Armenian Patriarch, in which he urged the latter to exert his influence to induce the Armenians to accept the position in question. The Patriarch declined to take this step, alleging that such measures were inadequate to satisfy the aspirations of the Armenian nation, since they would fail to give it an effective control over its own affairs.\n\n## GREECE AND TURKEY\n\n(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY)\n\n## THE YELLOW FEVER IN AMERICA\n\nNEW ORLEANS, Oct. 10.

(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY) The semi-official Avvenire of to-day publishes an article on the Egyptian question. The writer says England and France declare that they have in no way participated in the nomination of the Egyptian Ministry, and it would thus be useless to enter into negotiations with those countries. Italy being richer than other countries, demands privileges, nor does she aim at conquest, her sole object being to protect her own interests.\n\nThe Right Hon. W. H.

Her crew took to the boats, and were picked up by the Ulleswater steamer, of Shields, which afterwards fell in with the derelict and towed her to within five miles of Plymouth. The tow rope then parted, and the Ulleswater went into port for aid. A powerful tug was sent in search for the derelict vessel, and she found the Rover in Bigbury Bay, and towed her into Plymouth Harbour, where she now lies half full of water.\n\n## THE BARNSLEY POISONING CASE\n\nThe adjourned inquest on the man and girl who died from eating portions of a pudding taken from an eating-house at Barnsley was concluded yesterday.

        "content_text": "better for this Colony to have plenty of steamers entering and leaving the port, to say nothing of postal facilities, and as the Colony would not be called upon to pay more than they were paying now under the Postal union, he thought they could not be doing wrong in making some further representations to the Government under the fresh circumstances which had come to light.\n\n## \n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he was not at all of opinion that they would cease to have constant communication between the ports were the subsidy withdrawn. It was undoubtedly a serious fact for the Government to pay a subsidy for the Yokohama line when the service was so fully performed at present by the steamers from San Francisco and other vessels, and he did not think there would be any change in the intentions of the Government. Statements in the American papers with regard to the stoppage of the American line were not, he imagined, authorised, and were those steamers withdrawn most undoubtedly the trade would be taken up by others.\n\nMr **KYRIE** said he thought the Committee might be requested to reconsider their letter and, if they found it advisable, to modify or change it.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he thought that would be quite agreeable to the Committee to take the letter again into their most serious consideration.\n\nMr **KYRIE** asked Mr **McIVER** if he would second a motion of the nature he had indicated.\n\nMr **McIVER** replied that he certainly would. He thought there was not much likelihood of the Yokohama line being continued if the subsidy were withdrawn.\n\nMr **RYRIE** then proposed \"That with reference to the Postal service between this Port and Yokohama, in view of the action taken by the Yokohama community and other circumstances, the Committee be requested to reconsider their opinion, and, if they can see cause, to modify or alter the same.\"\n\nMr **McIVER** seconded the motion.\n\nOn the motion being put to the meeting, there were three votes for and seven against the motion.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** thereupon declared that the motion was lost.\n\nMr **DEACON** drew attention to the paragraph in the Report respecting the Stamp Ordinance, and said he moved the resolution at the last meeting of the Chamber that drafts and cheques payable to bearer or order drawn out of the Colony be subject only to a Stamp of two cents. He should like to know what the Government intended doing.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** was understood to say that the Government did not propose to reduce the value of the stamp in question, and that the Committee had approved of the provisions of the new Ordinance.\n\nMr **DRAGON** expressed his regret at this, and said they would find in every British Colony and at Home that the stamp was only a penny.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the Government still had the matter under consideration.\n\n## NEW MEMBERS\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** proposed and Mr **Bottomley** seconded that Messrs. Davis and Company be admitted as members of the Chamber.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\nMr **W. H. FOX** moved and Mr **Kayberg** seconded that Messrs. Lee Sing of the Sing Bling Hong, Lee Tak Cheong of the Sunshine Opium Firm, and Ching Sing Yeong of the Tak On Bank be elected members of the Chamber.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he believed this was the first time that Chinese had been proposed as members of the Chamber. That was a general Chamber of Commerce, and it appeared to him that the presence of Chinese amongst them might be frequently of considerable advantage. There were matters connected with the Blockade business, Stamp Acts, and other important matters, upon which they might be able to furnish a great deal of useful information. This was, however, the first time that Chinese had been proposed, and he thought therefore their election was a matter to which due consideration should be given.\n\nMr **MACEWAN** asked if the proposed members were known to be partners in the Hongs mentioned in connection with their names.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said he had no doubt the proposer and seconder had satisfied themselves on that point. He knew nothing about them.\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** thought the Chinese should enter the Chamber under the Hong names and not as individuals. There were constant changes going on in the native firms, as to who were partners and who were not.\n\nMr **RYRIE** agreed with Mr **Linstead's** remarks. He thought the Chinese should be called upon to enter the Chamber in the name of their firms.\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** said that at present they had no knowledge as to who the individuals of firms were; such information was entirely kept from them. The members of the native firms were not advertised in and out, like foreigners. He thought they ought to enter the Chamber with the full responsibility attached to the Hong name.\n\nMr **ARNHOLD** agreed with what had been said on this subject. He had personally no knowledge of the individuals proposed; but the names of the Hongs only were known to him.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the matter might be left for consideration of the Committee, that body having power to elect them under the Hong name, such election to be confirmed at the next meeting.\n\nMr **LINSTEAD** then proposed \"That this meeting while fully recognising the desirability of Chinese firms of standing and respectability being admitted as members of this Chamber, consider that the membership should be that of the firm under its trading Hong name and not that of an individual partner or representative of the Hong, of whom the Chamber may have no knowledge, and that the election of the firms named be left to the discretion of the Committee.\"\n\nMr **NELSON** expressed his agreement with the remarks that had been made on the subject, and seconded the motion.\n\nCarried unanimously.\n\n## ELECTION OF COMMITTEE\n\nThe following was the result of the ballot for the members of Committee :-Messrs Keswick, Hoppits, Arnhold, Jackson, Dalrymple, Nelson, Kyrie, Bellion, and Kay.\n\nMr **NELSON** proposed, and Mr **Hassell** seconded, that Mr **Keswick** be elected Chairman for the year. Carried unanimously.\n\nMr **KESWICK** said he was very much obliged; he had hoped he would be excused, but it had been urged upon him, and he would endeavour to do what he could for the benefit of the Chamber.\n\nMr **RYRIE** proposed and Mr **Linstead** seconded that Mr **Nelson** be elected Vice-Chairman for the year; which proposition was unanimously carried.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** then asked if any member had any remarks to make on general matters.\n\n## DEPUTATION TO SIR THOS. WADE\n\nMr **RYRIE** observed that it would be advisable to indicate the opinion of the meeting as to how they were to approach Sir Thomas Wade, by deputation or by memorial, to lay before him their grievances as to the new ports. He was in favour of a deputation, to give a frank explanation of their own ideas, and if possible of hearing his views in return. He would propose that the deputation be formed of the whole Committee, or that the entire Chamber wait upon the Minister, as they might recollect was done on a former occasion with Sir Rutherford Alcock. If the Committee formed the deputation, they might form a précis of what should be brought before him.\n\nMr **BELLIOS** agreed upon the Chamber thus calling the Minister's attention to the Blockade. The arrangement promised in the Convention was an equitable one, and it was important to expedite it, and settle it one way or the other.\n\nMr **GRANVILLE SHARP** said there was little only that was new to be said, and the subject was so thoroughly understood, that any remarks might be dispensed with but for the great necessity existing of proving to the Governments here and at home that we were still where we were—i.e., determined to obtain the abolition of the Blockade. He then referred to the Tientsin Treaty (Art. 20) and the basis proposed by the Hongkong Government to Sir T. Wade.\n\n| Basis Proposed |\n| --- |\n| 1. That the three Throat Gate Stations shall be retained for collection of duties and war-tax and delivery of receipts and clearances. |\n| 2. That junks clearing from Hongkong shall hand in manifests, pay duties, and receive clearances at one or other of such stations. |\n| 3. That junks coming to Hongkong shall stop at one or other of such stations for examination and payment of export duties if such have not been already paid. |\n| 4. That no duties whatsoever shall be demanded from junks coming to Hongkong from Ports in China save such export duties as are payable at the respective ports of clearance. |\n| 5. That a tariff of dues and duties leviable on goods shipped by Chinese junks from Hongkong shall be agreed upon and published, as also the penalties for breach of Regulations. |\n| 6. Rules to the adjudication of seizures. |\n| 7. That all Revenue Cruisers shall be under the jurisdiction of the officer appointed to the Government for such special service. |",

The staff told off to sell stamps should not usually be relied upon to give correct information. The Postal Guide is the standard on which reliance may be placed.\n\nMAILS BY U.S. PACKET.\n\nThe United States Mail Packet \"Oceanic\" will depart on WEDNESDAY, the 31st instant, with Mails for Japan, Formosa, the United States, Canada, Honolulu, Peru, &c., which will be closed as follows:\n\n2.15 P.M.

Late Letters may be posted on board the packet with Late Fee of 10 cents until the time of departure.\n\nCONCESSIONS AS TO SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' LETTERS.\n\n1.—Persons in H.M. Army or Navy, Non-commissioned Officers (Sergeants and Superintending or First Class) or School-mistresses may send correspondence letters to the United Kingdom via Brindisi or via Naples at the rate of one halfpenny (regardless of weight), which may be prepaid either in Imperial or in Hongkong stamps.\n\n2.—The same privileges apply to officers as above described.\n\n3.—All such letters prepaid at the rate of two cents (four pence) will be forwarded to or from the United Kingdom by private steamers and not by the mail packets.\n\n4.—Private steamers leave Hongkong for London about every ten days.\n\n5.—The letters must not exceed half an ounce.\n\nNo handkerchiefs, jewellery, &c., can be sent, even with the covers open.\n\n6.—If from a Soldier or Sailor, his class and description must be stated in full on the letter, the cover of which must be signed by the Commanding Officer, with name of regiment, ship, &c., in full.\n\n—If to a Soldier or Sailor, his class and description with name of regiment, ship, &c., must be stated in full.\n\n—Soldiers and Sailors have no privileges with regard to books or papers, nor can these be prepaid with foreign postal stamps.\n\nLETTERS FOR THE UNITED STATES BY SAILING SHIP.\n\nWhen it is desired to forward letters to the United States by a sailing ship which is not notified as carrying a mail, it is only necessary to pass the letters in the ordinary way, marked with the name of the ship, and prepaid 10 cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of departure and despatching the correspondence.\n\nIt is requested that the letters be posted if possible at least one day before the date fixed for sailing.\n\nTEA MUSTERS.\n\nPersons who send Mustard of Tea through the Post in this country are requested to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is quite impossible to pack round tins securely in the mail bags.\n\nPrinted and Published by N.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA REVIEW.\n\n## NOTES AND QUERIES.\n\n### NOTES.\n\nCHINESE MARRIAGES.-Marriages in China are not, as with us, private agreements concluded between the two interested parties. In England the tie of marriage most resembles a contract for the reciprocal enjoyment of personal society and services. It has been a much-disputed point with the modern jurists whether the Roman marriage should be considered a consensual contract of the nature of a sale, hire, partnership, or mandate, or whether it should be deemed a real contract analogous to a loan, deposit, or hypothes. The better opinion seems to be that it was no contract at all, but a mere transfer of property, or technically speaking a concurrence of two wills creating a *jus in rem*.\n\nFrom a juristical point of view the Chinese marriage would seem to be neither a contract nor a transfer, but rather a manumission, a double manumission enforced by no positive law, and, until concluded, involving no rights of the two manumitted ones as against the manumittors, but involving moral duties to carry out the agreement to manumit as between the two manumittors. The bride and bridegroom, as a general rule, have nothing whatever to say in the matter of their own matrimonial destiny. Proceedings are commenced by either the man's or the woman's family, generally the former, and at any age of the interested pair, but most commonly when the age of puberty has been reached. The first step is to seek the services of a *mei jên* or \"go-between,\" a female who is generally *bien majeure* rather than young, and who is frequently a friend of both families. Neither of these desiderata is, however, a *sine quâ non*, and, in some rare cases, the match-makers are even content to repose confidence in a professional \"go-between,\" whose standing is little above that of a common procuress. The male household having confided to this *mei jên* their aspirations, she takes an early opportunity of paying a visit to the family of the girl, and, asking to see the master, is invited into the court-yard (*tu Ping*), where, with very little ceremony, the subject is broached. Let us assume that the advances made are agreeable. The girl's friends, with Chinese caution, confine themselves to set phrases, such as \"Marriage is an affair of destiny, in which men have little to say;\" \"It appears that the fates have pointed to the son of your employer as a mate for our daughter, and this being the case, we must consult with our friends.\" After a little time, the girl's family send for the \"go-between\" and inform her of their favourable conclusion, upon which she busies herself with handing to each family the *pa laz* or - so to speak - \"baptismal register\" of either party. These are written on red paper, and contain a very few simple words. \"The male element (*ch'ien*), name; date of birth; age; year, month, day, and hour of birth,* etc., etc.\" After an interval, \n\n*The two cyclical (male and female) characters for each of the four latter dates, viz, the year, month, day and hour of birth, are more strictly called the *patsz*.-Ed. China Review.\n\n### NOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nwhich may be of months or years according to the age of the betrothed, the man's family send a message to the effect that they propose to send presents. A day is chosen for this, and a pair of gold bracelets, a pair of earrings and a few *tcls* in money are sent to the family of the girl. Of course these presents are more or less valuable according to the wealth of the parents. If the bride's friends receive these things there is no retreat: the money and jewels are regarded as earnest money to a bargain. It should here be mentioned that marriages never under any circumstances take place in the 1st month of the year: any other months are available, but the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th are the favourite ones. When a day has been fixed on for the consummation of the nuptials, the ceremony of *sung hang* has to be gone through by the bridegroom. This takes place a day or two before the wedding morning, when bearers are sent with chests containing eatables for the delectation of the bride. This civility is reciprocated by another of *kui hsieh mao* on the part of the bride, who sends to her swain a pair of boots, an official hat, and some articles of furniture. Finally the bride's trousseau and outfit are sent over to the house of the bridegroom - *pan chung lien*----followed the next day by the bride herself. The bride, with her father, mother, brother and sisters, is supposed to pass the morning of her marriage in tears of sorrow at parting. She partakes of a light repast in the morning, and is robed in a dress of red, her features being concealed by a thick and impenetrable veil. At about eight in the morning she is placed in the hired *hua chiao*, or embroidered sedan-chair, which, also, is draped with red. The doors of her house are locked, and the chair is deposited in the court within. When she has been securely shut up, the gates are opened and the chair is received by the friends of the bridegroom, who are in waiting outside and who convey it to their own house to the sound of the flute, the cymbal, and the gong. Along the route \n\n## Page 63\n\ncrackers are fired off, and a storm of these greets the chair as it approaches the dwelling of the man. The chair is deposited in the court, and approached by two of the luckiest old women in the family, who open the door and invite the trembling girl to make the proper obeisances. These are made by both herself and her betrothed in the court, she remaining closely veiled all the time. The pair first kotow to Heaven and Earth, then to their ancestors, next to the parents, and finally to each other. The officious old ladies, discreet, lucky, and experienced, escort the girl to her apartments and cheer her up with words of encouragement, with cups of tea, and with even a cake or two. In a few moments the dread event of \"raising the veil\" takes place, *Fiuo kai-t'ou lo*; the bridegroom stepping in armed with a carpenter's foot-rule with which he twitches off the veil which covers his bride. He seats himself on the left side of the couch, with his betrothed on his right, there being a small table between them. No remarks are made on either side. The discreet old ladies next bring in two small cups of wine which are poured one into the other as a symbol of indissoluble union, and handed to the happy pair to drain. At this interesting juncture the old dames retire, upon which the bride turns her face round to the wall in such wise that it cannot be seen. The husband, for such he now is, probably divining that, what with the ceremonial clothes, the enforced modesty, and the general stiffness of the situation, things would be \"slow\" if he remained longer, now leaves his wife (*sin jen*) to her thoughts, and rejoins his friends outside. Once more the old ladies rush in and befriend the disconsolate girl, who sits in the same place until the male festivities are over, to a late hour in the night or an early one in the morning. During the day, for all the above takes place in the early morning, male and female friends are entertained, and the newly-married pair, in their best clothes, entertain their friends of ...",

Such a course would simply aggravate our financial relations with other countries, without improving our position vis-à-vis with London.\n\n9.-There would seem then to be four courses open to the Colony, as follows:- (a) To ask for a re-consideration of the question by the Imperial Government.\n\n(b) To pay the £6,000 asked for by the Secretary of State and accept the loss on the Postal Service,\n\n(c) To pay the £6,000 and revert to the old 1/3d. (30 cents) rate of Postage to the United Kingdom only by both British and French packets in order to raise the sum required.\n\n(d) To decline either to despatch or to receive mails by the P. & O. packets.\n\n10.-\n\nAnd first (a) as to a plea for re-consideration, I have to follow Lord Kimberley in pointing out that the Colony was not consulted before these heavy responsibilities were incurred, if indeed they can be said to have been incurred at all. For the Mail Service is costing at this moment not more but less than it did under the old contract, and the loss to which we contribute is less, as will appear from the following figures :--\n\n  \n    Payment to P. & O. Co.\n    Estimated Imperial Loss.\n  \n  \n    £211,000\n    £232,500 -Old Contract.\n  \n  \n    £480,000\n    1876-77\n  \n  \n    £430,000\n    1877-78.\n  \n  \n    £430,000\n    1878-79,\n  \n  \n    £417,325\n    1879-80,\n  \n  \n    £253,000\n    Both Contracts.\n  \n  \n    £356,600\n    1880-81.\n  \n  \n    £358,000\n    1881-82.\n  \n  \n    £208,000\n    £207,000 New Contract.\n  \n\nI venture to offer a few remarks on these alternatives.\n\n11.-Then again as to the principle of paying according to distance, which brings about the formidable total of £12,000 claimed by the London Post Office, it would seem that whilst the P. & O. Contract extends to Shanghai, how far along the line Hongkong may happen to be, so long as a stoppage there is inevitable, ought not to make very much difference. If the voyage ceased at Hongkong, or the packets went out of their way to come here, it would be very different. But evidently the Imperial Government wishes to maintain communication with Shanghai, and the packets must come into Hongkong whether we avail ourselves of them for Postal purposes or not.\n\nWhen a person must needs go from Edinburgh to London, and is asked to deliver a parcel on the way, it surely does not matter much to him whether it is addressed to Carlisle or to Newark so long as both are in his road. Our mails do not eat anything on the way, their presence on board does not lead to the consumption of an ounce more coal, nor to an hour's delay.\n\n(3)\n\n12.-Payment according to distance is moreover opposed to the general practice of the Postal Service. A letter from London to Cornwall costs no more than one delivered at Kensington, the postage to China is the same as that to India.\n\nAnd the same rule obtains with regard to payments for territorial and sea-conveyance. We pay the French Post Office the same rates for carrying a letter to Saigon as for carrying it to Marseilles, and if the transit were extended to Brazil we should pay no more.\n\nSwitzerland obtains the same remuneration on correspondence which crosses a corner of its territory as Russia does for transporting it from St. Petersburg to Manchuria.\n\n13.-If we pay even the £6,000 to which the Secretary of State has modified this heavy demand, the result will be that we shall be taking a great deal of trouble and going to a good deal of expense to conduct Postal business on the coast of China simply for the pleasure of doing it. Those Postal duties in China were unwillingly undertaken by the Colony entirely in deference to the views of the Home Government, and I will venture to say that they have been carried out as well as, in the face of local difficulties, they possibly could be. It may be questioned whether the Colony should be rewarded by a demand for three per cent. of its entire revenue (for that is what £6,000 a year amounts to) entailing complete extinction of the modest revenue on its local Postal business. The London Post Office, which is making an increasing profit of over £8,000,000 annually (after defraying the losses to which we are asked to contribute) can afford to be more generous to us than that. I cannot but think that, were these details fully explained, a contribution of £3,000, or £3,500 a year, fixed, and irrespective of accounts, would be accepted as a discharge of all claims.\n\n14.-In any case, if (b) we pay the £6,000 a year assessed by the Secretary of State, I scarcely see how we can be called upon to pay arrears since February 1st, 1880. To have a debt of £10,000 suddenly sprung on us, of which we knew nothing, and as to the running up of which our consent was not asked, is, to say the least of it, very discouraging. According to the claim of the London Post Office these arrears would amount to about £30,000.\n\n13.-Lord Kimberley points out that a considerable portion of the £6,000 which his Lordship considers the Colony might reasonably be asked to pay will be contributed by a native population that makes comparatively little use of Mail communication. With great deference, I do not think this is an argument which in this particular case ought to be used either for or against the proposed payment. It cannot be too often insisted on that the circumstances of Hongkong are radically different from those of India, Ceylon, or even the Straits Settlements. We have here no native population subsisting on a soil which has been taken away from its original lords. Such a population may doubtless ask to have life made at least as pleasant as it would have been under the old régime. But the Chinese population of Hongkong has come to us, we have not gone to it. A Chinese lives in Hongkong because it suits him to do so, and if he finds life there intolerable because mail steamers either are or are not subsidised out of the taxes, the Empire of China, from which he or his father came, lies open to him within a few miles.\n\nWe have only to imagine the Chinese community of Hongkong announcing that they would prefer to live under a Republic, or that they object to parliamentary government, to see...",

They are practically allowed to send letters where they like and how they like. It is notorious that they transmit their correspondence safely, get it delivered sooner than Europeans can, and effect this at something like one fifth of foreign postal rates. They would feel a strict enforcement of the monopoly of the Post Office, such as is carried out in Saigon, and to some extent in Singapore, far more oppressive than an appropriation from the rates, and would, I believe, soon be glad to pay for the resumption of their former liberty.\n\n17.--I cannot recommend either course c or d. Both perhaps are possible, but under both the most intolerable practical complications would arise. A high rate of postage (c) as between the mother country and one of its colonies could not be objected to on International grounds, and it may be said that it is the legitimate solution of the difficulty, as then those who use the mail service would be helping to pay for it. If Hongkong were St. Helena or Ascension this view would be very applicable. But let us imagine the British Post Office at Shanghai charging 30 cents on a letter to England whilst the French Post Office charged five! The French Post Office would in consequence make up the entire mail for London, and, by an almost ludicrous consequence of our Treaty obligations, the P. & O. packets would be bound to carry it! There is no escape from this but by Great Britain's withdrawal from the Postal Union. High rates of postage, too, press heavily on the poorer class of correspondents. The same, and even greater objections apply to (d) any proposal to discontinue using the P. & O. packets, as suggested by Lord KIMBERLEY in Mr. MEADE's letter to the Treasury of August 28th, 1880. For if the packets come here at all they certainly would be used for the homeward mails. Persons would make it their business to collect letters to be posted at Singapore, or even at home. All kinds of disorders would ensue, and it certainly would be a strange condition of affairs if the community of Shanghai, out of reach of Postal contributions, could freely use the P. & O. packets at 2d. per half ounce to any Union Country whatever, and the community of Hongkong could not use them at all. Moreover, we could not refuse to make up mails for any country except the United Kingdom by any mail steamer which might be here.\n\nIf it were\n\n18.--And though, as Lord KIMBERLEY points out, there are numerous private steamers, by which mails might be forwarded, the discontinuance of the P. & O. service would practically throw the whole correspondence into the French Mail. However much the postage were lowered, next to nothing would be sent by slower steamers. The French Mail would take four hours to sort; I do not suppose the French Post Office would ever consent to its being sorted on board. So sorted (which may be regarded as out of the question) the expense would be very great, at least three times that of our present marine sorting. A fortnightly mail no doubt sufficed for the wants of Hongkong at one time, but the objections I have pointed out above are so strong that I do not see my way to recommending any attempt to recur to it.\n\n(5)\n\n19.--The same obstacles which prevent our utilising private steamers to any appreciable extent would also render impracticable any attempt to forward or receive mails via San Francisco. If both the French and English Mail packets were withdrawn, we might no doubt get on very well with the Pacific line, but so long as the French Mails call here at all they will bring and take practically the whole of the correspondence. The California route is open to three great objections:\n\n(1.) Length of transit.\n\n(2.) Uncertainty of both arrival and departure.\n\n(3.) Uncertainty of connection at San Francisco on the outward route,\n\nand these would always make it unavailable for business correspondence unless no better opportunities were to be had. Moreover it is doubtful if the trans-Pacific boats will run in future so frequently as they have lately.\n\n20.--The Home Government should, I think, be asked to remember that these heavy demands, based entirely on distance, put Hongkong in a very disadvantageous position as compared with other Colonies. Our rates of Postage may be considered low when we think of what they were a few years ago, but when we observe what other countries are charging they must be pronounced high. We are, in nearly every instance, charging every farthing that the Convention of Paris will allow. The French Post Offices at Shanghai and Saigon will receive a letter for nearly any part of the world for 2d., we charge 3d. American travellers, accustomed to the universal 2d. tariff of their own country, find our postage in the opposite direction just double that amount. Our Registration fee is 5d.; few countries charge so much. And yet, in spite of all these comparatively high charges we are not to be allowed even to pay working expenses. I need hardly say that we cannot look to a reduction of charges as affording any hope of increase of Revenue. The amount of correspondence posted here remains the same or nearly so whatever changes of Tariff are made.\n\n21.--I do not know that there is any other information I can lay before the Government on this matter. Our interests have been so well defended, and the question so thoroughly understood in the Colonial Office that there really is little further argument left for me to adduce. I venture however to suggest that the correspondence be forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce before a reply is made.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir,\n\nYour Obedient Servant,\n\nThe Honourable W. H. Marsh, C.M.G.,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nALFRED LISTER,\n\nPostmaster General.",

That the surplus revenue derived from the Post Office in Hongkong, notwithstanding that the rates of postage are higher than those charged by the French Post Office in Shanghai on correspondence by Messageries boats, being only $8,000 annually, it is manifestly impossible for the Post Office to bear the increased burthen which the proposed impost would throw upon it.\n\n2nd. That the question is now agitated among the mercantile community as to the policy of subsidising any line of steamers between this Colony and Europe, considering the numerous means of direct and speedy steam communication now available.\n\n3rd. That in the event of any further payment being required from the Colony towards the cost of the subsidy, the means could only be obtained either by an increase of the rates of postage, or from some other branch of the revenue such as stamps, which would enhance the taxation on trade, already too onerous, and the Chamber protest in the strongest manner against the proposed measure, and still more against any retrospective payment on account of the mails.\n\nAs regards any increase in the rates of postage, the Committee would observe that such a measure would be most impolitic and unjust, and one not likely to have a successful result in augmenting the postal revenue. British mail steamers are exposed to competition from numerous foreign lines of steam communication which would be glad to carry the letters of this Colony for half the rates now charged and were an increase resolved upon there would be nothing to prevent the public sending their correspondence by private steamers to Saigon to be posted there for Europe, a course which would deprive the Colonial Government entirely of the revenue derived from the French mail service.\n\nThe Committee also desire to point out that in the statement showing the division of cost and apportionment of the loss on the service, the share falling to the Hongkong and Shanghai section of the Mail route is set down as £20,968, which amount the Chamber submit should be deducted from £360,000, and the balance charged rateably against this Colony.\n\n-I have, &c.\n\n(Signed) F. BULKELEY JOHNSON,\n\nChairman.\n\nThe Honourable. W. H. MARSH, C.M.G.,\n\nColonial Secretary,\n\n ",

At first they shaved the head and wore a red ribbon twined in the queue. Latterly they joined the Tai Ping forces and let their hair grow long.) Illustrious services were rendered by the Eighty-Three Villages, who trained militia, and after severe fighting cleared the rebels from the region. The undersigned having received the Imperial Mandate to take in hand measures of Maritime Defence, have already reported to the Throne the institution of a system of local militia, and a Fishermen's contingent.\n\nA reference to the Provincial history shows that to the defences seawards of the Provincial capital of Kuang-chow, the nine districts of Nam-hoi, Pan Yü, Tung Kuan, Shun Tê, Hsiang Shan, Tseng Ch'êng, Hsin Hui, Hsin An, and Hsin Ning, are the keys.\n\nAt the present time when danger threatens from the sea, it is the duty of these nine districts to be animated by the same sentiment, and to fortify themselves by the union of a common resolve; to check internal treachery by the working of the system of joint security of Tithings, and resist foreign rapine by means of local Defence Corps. If peace is maintained, then by dividing for patrols and combining for pursuit, homesteads will be in security and the pest of piracy thereby allayed. If war is begun, then by guarding approaches and by the formation of a chain of defences, our renown will be enhanced, while military expenses are rendered needless.\n\nThe undersigned have learned that in the districts named, offices have been already opened, the tidal lands assessed for contributions, and a large number of guard-boats and patrol-boats collected, and that drilling goes on on dry land, so that at a given signal thousands of men can be assembled.\n\nA general order has now been issued to the Civil and Military Authorities to collect the managers of the various recruiting offices to continue drilling energetically, to use every endeavour towards a systematic selection and enlistment of crews for the patrol vessels, and the detachment of the latter to guard strategical positions; and, as regards the militia, to the collection of a force of men of fine physique and good training, to defend their native villages, and to be ready to be mobilised should invasion occur. For defending the provincial capital, for holding strategic points, for obstructing and intercepting the enemy, for following him up in the rear, for rendering services by successful slaughter of an enemy, for the burning or capture of his vessels of war, or for blowing them up by torpedoes, there will be a scale of rewards given without fail.\n\nOn the other hand, all persons who, as headmen of fishing stations or others, make this the occasion for dishonest extortions from the Tanka people, or cheating them on pretence of taking Play or License fees, and all persons who supply provisions or warlike stores to the invader, or who disloyally consent to act secretly as guides, shall be, on discovery, proceeded against and punished by military law.\n\nShould the enemy actually proceed to open hostilities and give battle to us, it follows that the wrong lies with them for not observing Treaties. All soldiers and civilians should devote themselves exclusively to driving away the enemy. With the remaining nations with whom we have commercial dealings, amicable relations have continued hitherto and no disturbance of these is permitted by outbreaks, which will be severely dealt with.\n\nBesides the issue of general orders to the various military and civil officials, and the selection and appointment of deputies for registering purposes in the different localities, it is incumbent to publish a proclamation on the subject; accordingly-\n\nIt is hereby proclaimed for the guidance of all heads and members of militia corps, that all should vent their antagonism, and show the good disposition with which Heaven has gifted them; that they should act in full unison with the naval and land forces, and that the militia in city and country should move together.\n\nIn the Book of History it is written-\n\nAs the people see so Heaven sees,\n\nAs the people hear so Heaven hears\n\nNever has it been known that strange tribes coming from a distance of thousands of miles should penetrate far into our borders when the minds of our people were united, nor defy Heaven by their overbearing aggression.\n\nWith regard to expenses, the regulations of the Recruiting Offices will still be in force, and with native resources, and by the help of native valour, may be safeguarded the lives and properties of the native population.\n\nFrom the spirit of loyalty and ardour comes a security as great as that given by \"walls of pure metal and moats of boiling liquid.\"\n\nExtraordinary heroism assuredly shall be rewarded by recommendation and promotion.\n\nSuch is what the undersigned earnestly hope. A special proclamation not to be disregarded.\n\nThe",

I should say here that when the Legislative Council voted for our entry into the Postal Union in 1876 the prospect was then clearly laid before it that the Post Office would probably cease to be a source of Revenue.\n\n8. That, however, was inevitable, whether we entered the Union or not, nor would retirement from it now do anything for us. Such a course would simply aggravate our financial relations with other countries, without improving our position vis-à-vis with London.\n\n9. There would seem then to be four courses open to the Colony, as follows: - (a) To ask for a re-consideration of the question by the Imperial Government.\n\n(b) To pay the £6,000 asked for by the Secretary of State and accept the loss on the Postal Service.\n\n(c) To pay the £6,000 and revert to the old 1/3d. (30 cents) rate of Postage to the United Kingdom only by both British and French packets in order to raise the sum required.\n\n(d) To decline either to despatch or to receive mails by the P. & O. packets.\n\n10. I venture to offer a few remarks on these alternatives. And first as to a plea for re-consideration, I have to follow Lord Kimberley in pointing out that the Colony was not consulted before these heavy responsibilities were incurred, if indeed they can be said to have been incurred at all. For the Mail Service is costing at this moment not more but less than it did under the old contract, and the loss to which we contribute is less, as will appear from the following figures:\n\n  \n    Payment to P. & O. Co.\n    £430,000\n    Estimated Imperial Loss.\n  \n  \n    1876-77\n    \n    £211,000\n  \n  \n    1877-78\n    \n    £232,500 (Old Contract. £282,500\n  \n  \n    1878-79\n    £417,825\n    \n  \n  \n    1879-80\n    £258,000\n    Both Contracts.\n  \n  \n    1880-81\n    £356,600\n    \n  \n  \n    1881-82\n    £358,000\n    £208,000 New Contract. £207,000\n  \n\n11. Then again as to the principle of paying according to distance, which brings about the formidable total of £12,000 claimed by the London Post Office, it would seem that whilst the P. & O. Contract extends to Shanghai, how far along the line Hongkong may happen to be, so long as a stoppage there is inevitable, ought not to make very much difference. If the voyage ceased at Hongkong, or the packets went out of their way to come here, it would be very different. But evidently the Imperial Government wishes to maintain communication with Shanghai, and the packets must come into Hongkong whether we avail ourselves of them for Postal purposes or not. When a person must needs go from Edinburgh to London, and is asked to deliver a parcel on the way, it surely does not matter much to him whether it is addressed to Carlisle or to Newark so long as both are in his road. Our mails do not eat anything on the way, their presence on board does not lead to the consumption of an ounce more coal, nor to an hour's delay.\n\n12. Payment according to distance is moreover opposed to the general practice of the Postal Service. A letter from London to Cornwall costs no more than one delivered at Kensington, the postage to China is the same as that to India. And the same rule obtains with regard to payments for territorial and sea-conveyance. We pay the French Post Office the same rates for carrying a letter to Saigon as for carrying it to Marseilles, and if the transit were extended to Brazil we should pay no more. Switzerland obtains the same remuneration on correspondence which crosses a corner of its territory as Russia does for transporting it from St. Petersburg to Manchuria.\n\n13. If we pay even the £6,000 to which the Secretary of State has modified this heavy demand, the result will be that we shall be taking a great deal of trouble and going to a good deal of expense to conduct Postal business on the coast of China simply for the pleasure of doing it. These Postal duties in China were unwillingly undertaken by the Colony entirely in deference to the views of the Home Government, and I will venture to say that they have been carried out as well as, in the face of local difficulties, they possibly could be. It may be questioned whether the Colony should be rewarded by a demand for three per cent. of its entire revenue (for that is what £6,000 a year amounts to) entailing complete extinction of the modest revenue on its local Postal business. The London Post Office, which is making an increasing profit of over £3,000,000 annually (after defraying the losses to which we are asked to contribute) can afford to be more generous to us than that. I cannot but think that, were these details fully explained, a contribution of £3,000, or £3,500 a year, fixed, and irrespective of accounts, would be accepted as a discharge of all claims.\n\n14. In any case, if (b) we pay the £6,000 a year assessed by the Secretary of State, I scarcely see how we can be called upon to pay arrears since February 1st, 1880. To have a debt of £10,000 suddenly sprung on us, of which we knew nothing, and as to the running up of which our consent was not asked, is, to say the least of it, very discouraging. According to the claim of the London Post Office these arrears would amount to about £30,000.\n\n15. Lord Kimberley points out that a considerable portion of the £6,000 which his Lordship considers the Colony might reasonably be asked to pay will be contributed by a native population that makes comparatively little use of Mail communication. With great deference, I do not think this is an argument which in this particular case ought to be used either for or against the proposed payment. It cannot be too often insisted on that the circumstances of Hongkong are radically different from those of India, Ceylon, or even the Straits Settlements. We have here no native population subsisting on a soil which has been taken away from its original lords. Such a population may doubtless ask to have life made at least as pleasant as it would have been under the old régime. But the Chinese population of Hongkong has come to us, we have not gone to it. A Chinese lives in Hongkong because it suits him to do so, and if he finds life there intolerable because mail steamers either are or are not subsidised out of the taxes, the Empire of China, from which he or his father came, lies open to him within a few miles.\n\nWe have only to imagine the Chinese community of Hongkong announcing that they would prefer to live under a Republic, or that they object to parliamentary government, to see\n\nPage 360\n\nPage 361",

They are practically allowed to send letters where they like and how they like. It is notorious that they transmit their correspondence safely, get it delivered sooner than Europeans can, and effect this at something like one fifth of foreign postal rates. They would feel a strict enforcement of the monopoly of the Post Office, such as is carried out in Saigon, and to some extent in Singapore, far more oppressive than an appropriation from the rates, and would, I believe, soon be glad to pay for the resumption of their former liberty.\n\nvery\n\n17.-I cannot recommend either course c or d. Both perhaps are possible, but under both the most intolerable practical complications would arise. A high rate of postage (c) as between the mother country and one of its colonies could not be objected to on International grounds, and it may be said that it is the legitimate solution of the difficulty, as then those who use the mail service would be helping to pay for it.\n\nIf Hongkong were St. Helena or Ascension this view would be applicable. But let us imagine the British Post Office at Shanghai charging 30 cents on a letter to England whilst the French Post Office charged five! The French Post Office would in consequence make up the entire mail for London, and, by an almost ridiculous consequence of our Treaty obligations, the P. & O. packets would be bound to carry it!\n\nThere is no escape from this but by Great Britain's withdrawal from the Postal Union. High rates of postage, too, press heavily on the poorer class of correspondents. The same, and even greater objections apply to (d) any proposal to discontinue using the P. & O. packets, as suggested by Lord KIMBERLEY in Mr. MEADE's letter to the Treasury of August 28th, 1880.\n\nFor if the packets come here at all they certainly would be used for the homeward mails. Persons would make it their business to collect letters to be posted at Singapore, or even at home. All kinds of disorders would ensue, and it certainly would be a strange condition of affairs if the community of Shanghai, out of reach of Postal contributions, could freely use the P. & O. packets at 2d. per half ounce to any Union Country whatever, and the community of Hongkong could not use them at all. Moreover, we could not refuse to make up mails for any country except the United Kingdom by any mail steamer which might be here.\n\n18.-And though, as Lord KIMBERLEY points out, there are numerous private steamers, by which mails might be forwarded, the discontinuance of the P. & O. service would practically throw the whole correspondence into the French Mail. However much the postage were lowered, next to nothing would be sent by slower steamers. The French Mail would take four hours to sort; I do not suppose the French Post Office would ever consent to its being sorted on board,\n\nIf it were so sorted (which may be regarded as out of the question) the expense would be very great, at least three times that of our present marine sorting. A fortnightly mail no doubt sufficed for the wants of Hongkong at one time, but the objections I have pointed out above are so strong that I do not see my way to recommending any attempt to recur to it.\n\n(5)\n\n19. The same obstacles which prevent our utilising private steamers to any appreciable extent would also render impracticable any attempt to forward or receive mails viâ San Francisco. If both the French and English Mail packets were withdrawn, we might no doubt get on very well with the Pacific line, but so long as the French Mails call here at all they will bring and take practically the whole of the correspondence. The California route is open to three great objections:-\n\n(1.) Length of transit.\n\n(2.) Uncertainty of both arrival and departure.\n\n(3.) Uncertainty of connection at San Francisco on the outward route,\n\nand these would always make it unavailable for business correspondence unless no better opportunities were to be had. Moreover it is doubtful if the trans-Pacific boats will run in future so frequently as they have lately.\n\n20.-The Home Government should, I think, be asked to remember that these heavy demands, based entirely on distance, put Hongkong in a very disadvantageous position as compared with other Colonies. Our rates of Postage may be considered low when we think of what they were a few years ago, but when we observe what other countries are charging they must be pronounced high. We are, in nearly every instance, charging every farthing that the Convention of Paris will allow. The French Post Offices at Shanghai and Saigon will receive a letter for nearly any part of the world for 2d., we charge 5d. American travellers, accustomed to the universal 2d. tariff of their own country, find our postage in the opposite direction just double that amount. Our Registration fee is 5d.; few countries charge so much. And yet, in spite of all these comparatively high charges we are not to be allowed even to pay working expenses. I need hardly say that we cannot look to a reduction of charges as affording any hope of increase of Revenue. The amount of correspondence posted here remains the same or nearly so whatever changes of Tariff are made.\n\n21.-I do not know that there is any other information I can lay before the Government on this matter. Our interests have been so well defended, and the question so thoroughly understood in the Colonial Office that there really is little further argument left for me to adduce. I venture however to suggest that the correspondence be forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce before a reply is made.\n\nI have the honour, to be, Sir,\n\nYour Obedient Servant.\n\nThe Honourable W. H. MARSH, C.M.G.,\n\nColonial Secretary.\n\nALFRED LISTER,\n\nPostmaster General.",

That the question is now agitated among the mercantile community as to the policy of subsidising any line of steamers between this Colony and Europe, considering the numerous means of direct and speedy steam communication now available.\n\n3rd. That in the event of any further payment being required from the Colony towards the cost of the subsidy, the means could only be obtained either by an increase of the rates of postage, or from some other branch of the revenue such as stamps, which would enhance the taxation on trade, already too onerous, and the Chamber protest in the strongest manner against the proposed measure, and still more against any retrospective payment on account of the mails.\n\nAs regards any increase in the rates of postage, the Committee would observe that such a measure would be most impolitic and unjust, and one not likely to have a successful result in augmenting the postal revenue. British mail steamers are exposed to competition from numerous foreign lines of steam communication which would be glad to carry the letters of this Colony for half the rates now charged and were an increase resolved upon there would be nothing to prevent the public sending their correspondence by private steamers to Saigon to be posted there for Europe, a course which would deprive the Colonial Government entirely of the revenue derived from the French mail service.\n\nThe Committee also desire to point out that in the statement showing the division of cost and apportionment of the loss on the service, the share falling to the Hongkong and Shanghai section of the Mail route is set down as £20,968, which amount the Chamber submit should be deducted from £360,000, and the balance charged rateably against this Colony.—I have, &c.\n\n(Signed) F.

FRANCE AND CAMBODIA\n\nThe Governor of Cochin-China has issued the following proclamation to the people of Cambodia:\n\n\"By a convention signed at Phnom penh on the 17th June, 1884, His Majesty Norodom, King of Cambodia, and M. Charles Thomson, Governor of Cochin-China, acting in the name of the Government of the French Republic, have agreed to realise the reforms rendered necessary in the interest of the Cambodian people. The new arrangement confirms and completes the fundamental treaty concluded on the 11th August, 1863, between France and Cambodia, and respects the ancient laws and customs of the Kingdom so far as these are compatible with the eternal principles of right and of human progress, which alone make nations great, happy, and free. In consequence of this arrangement and the good understanding which exists between the two Governments measures will be taken by which, in the near future, slavery will be completely wiped out in Cambodia and by which all Cambodians will henceforth be able to enjoy their freedom.\n\nThe land, which up to the present has belonged entirely to the Crown, will be divided between the communes and individuals and will be given or made over to them with full proprietary rights. The Christians and the temples will retain the lands actually occupied by them.\n\n\"French officials will be sent into the provinces to see, in concert with the Cambodian authorities, that justice is everywhere rendered in an equitable manner, and that the yield of the imposts, everywhere properly collected, is employed in works of public utility, the construction of roads, canals, bridges, docks, and telegraphic lines, serving to facilitate communication throughout the whole extent of the Kingdom. A municipality will be charged with the administration of the town of Phnom-penh.\n\n\"Trade and industry will become more prosperous, order and tranquility will be guaranteed, private property constituted, and the well-being of all Cambodians will increase day by day. Such will be the results of the new convention by which His Majesty Norodom I. has strengthened the bonds of friendship which have long united Cambodia and France. The Government of the French Republic, the protector of Cambodia, will always aim at the assurance, by wise dispositions, of the liberty of all and the happiness of the Cambodian people.\n\n\"His Majesty the King of Cambodia and the Governor of Cochin-China rely on the zeal and devotion of the Cambodian officials to make known to the populations the intentions of the Governments and to assist them in this work of peace, justice, and civilization.\n\nGiven at Phnom-penh, 18th June, 1884.\n\n**CHARLES THOMSON, \"Governor of Cochin-China.\"**\n\nThe Saiyonnais learns by telegram from Phnom penh that the Cambodians are delighted with the new treaty and that the Mandarins have called on the Governor and avowed their devotion to France.\n\nThe following telegrams have been addressed to the Governor at Phnom-penh by the elective bodies of the colony of Saigon:\n\n\"We beg to convey to you our warm congratulations on the new convention with Cambodia. The development of our influence in that country will assure its prosperity and make it one of the brightest gems of French Indo-China.\n \n\"The French Colonial Counsellors at present in Saigon.\"\n\n\"We convey to the Governor our hearty congratulations on the results obtained in Cambodia, which will assure the development of our trade and industry in this part of French Indo-China.\n \n\"The Saigon Chamber of Commerce.\"\n\n\"19th June, 1884.\n\n\"Monsieur the Governor.\n\n\"The Mayor and Municipal Council of Saigon beg to tender you the modest tribute of their congratulations on the happy result of your negotiations with Cambodia. It is a grand step in advance for civilisation and the prosperity of the country, and of which Saigon and our fine colony will not be long in feeling the effects. It gives them great happiness to salute this new success of your patient, wise, and liberal colonial policy, which looks unceasingly to the prosperity of the country which has been confided to your Government, and they pray you to have the goodness to accept the expression of their entire and respectful devotion.\n\nSigned by the Mayor, Counsellors, and officials.\n\n## Enclosure 2.\n\nPd.

        "content_text": "## Enclosure 2.\n\n**THE UNION OF FRENCH INDO-CHINA.**\n\nM. Blancsubé, the Deputy in Paris for Cochin-China, in a report addressed to the President of the Council at Saigon, published in the Saigonnais, writes as follows:---\n\nOur protectorate is being established over the whole of Annam; in what manner shall it be organised? This question is of the greatest importance, for on its solution depends the future of France in Indo-China.\n\nShall it be a protectorate as in Tunis attached to different ministries? I believe that is impossible. There is the question of distance to prevent it, which the telegraph is not sufficient to overrule. Whatever line is used it is necessary to traverse foreign countries, which takes away all security, above all in the case of any complications arising. What is wanted in Annam is a protectorate similar to that of Cambodia. That which has succeeded in the one case should succeed in the other, for the two situations are alike. In the interests of France it is necessary that there should be in Indo-China unity of aim and direction. It would be profoundly impolitic to breed differences or opposing interests, from which foreigners alone would profit. You have been willing to acknowledge, Monsieur the President, that this close union of the different parts of Indo-China placed under our control was most desirable. It is not Indo-Chinese unity that it is necessary to establish, you have said, but Indo-Chinese union. The union only is, in fact, possible, seeing that Cochin-China alone is a French country and that the rest consists of countries protected by France, but not French territory.\n\nThe customs union should be completed between Annam and Tonquin on the one part, Cochin-China and Cambodia on the other. On this point there is no difference of opinion. It remains to fix the custom tariffs, which is the business of the administration, upon which the Saigon Chamber of Commerce can be consulted, as also concerning the trade of Tonquin.\n\nThe judicial union is no longer contested; the Court of Saigon is and will remain the Court of appeal for our tribunals in Annam, as it is for Siam, China and Japan. The postal and telegraphic union is entirely established. The administrative union exists in the sense that it is the personnel of Cochin-China which has furnished and furnishes almost the whole of the staff in Tonquin. The language, laws, habits and native organisation being the same in Tonquin and Annam as in Cochin-China, the officials of the Colony are equally easy to exercise their functions in all Annamite countries. It would be a good plan to leave the entire personnel in the hands of the Governor to be employed wherever the service may require, promotion taking place throughout the country, as is the case in France, without distinction of province.\n\nPublic instruction should be under the same organisation throughout the country. Military and general union in all that affects the expenses of the Sovereignty are equally necessary. The great public works which interest every country, lighthouses, roads, telegraphs, &c., should be established and maintained at general expense, as also all levy... works. There has been much agitation lately on the question of the Colonial army. The Indo-Chinese union admits of a solution of this question which appears to me advantageous. Cochin-China possesses a corps of native tirailleurs, commanded by French officers. This corps of 3,000 men is entirely at the cost of the Colony, which also has to pay the retiring pensions. The recent war proved the strength and fidelity of these troops. Considering its population and richness and also its requirements, Tonquin should be able to supply six battalions instead of three, under the same conditions as in Cochin-China.\n\nBy the side of these native troops it will be necessary to have some French soldiers. With the three years service only it is evident that it would be necessary to resort to special recruiting for troops serving in Indo-China. In my opinion it would require the engagement of volunteers with bounties. They would form a military division comprising a proportionate number of troops of all arms, representing a small army. The Minister of the Colonies should have these troops under his control, and the expenses of maintaining them should be equably divided between Cochin-China and Annam. We should thus have in Indo-China powerful forces, capable of enforcing respect to the flag, and to the will of France, and to establish indisputably her predominance, not only in Annam but also in the Laos valley, which forms geographically a portion of the peninsula of Indo-China over which we should exercise our authority.\n\nWith the union, we can and should achieve great things; without it we can do nothing. By the union France becomes at once a colonial power, an Asiatic power on the borders of China, as Russia is on the North and as England is, and seeks to become still more, on the West.\n\nAffairs have changed since 1880, but events have proved all our forecastings to be right. To-day Tonquin and Annam are more effectively under our protectorate than ever before. Cambodia is absolutely opened to us; at Siam M. Harmand has placed our influence and relations with that Kingdom on the most cordial footing as is testified by the establishment of the telegraph line between Saigon and Bangkok. Siam comes to us to prove its friendship. Finally in Laos, where we have not yet finished our scientific missions and our merchants continue to penetrate, France is known and liked.\n\nThe English have, at Calcutta a Viceroy whose existence does not prevent that of Presidents or Rajahs; we also want in Indo-China a representative who can centralise and unite our action.\n\n## Page 545",

No 42\n\nIl me reste deux mots à dire de l'état des communications au Tonkin. Elles se font actuellement par eau. La navigation fluviale du Tonkin n'est pas aussi aisée qu'on l'a présentée d'abord, cependant elle offre de grandes facilités. Dans tout le Delta on peut naviguer avec des tirants d'eau variant de 1 m. 50 à 2 m. 50. Il y aura de-ci, de-là, quelques rectifications à opérer, quelques canaux à creuser, mais je ne crois pas qu'un chemin de fer dans le Delta soit nécessaire d'ici longtemps. Il serait du reste coûteux à établir dans un pays d'alluvion coupé de canaux. Pour les communications avec la Chine, la question est différente, et un chemin de fer allant de Hanoi au Yunnam sera sans doute nécessaire.\n\nAu point de vue de l'élevage, les pâturages sont excellents et faciles. Le pays produit des buffles, des bœufs et des chevaux, mais il y aurait lieu de s'occuper de ces deux derniers produits. On exporte, en outre, en abondance, en Chine, des porcs et des œufs de volaille. La chambre de commerce de Mazamet s'informait de la possibilité de l'élevage des moutons au Tonkin. Cet élevage ne me paraît pas possible, mais pourrait être utilement remplacé par celui de la chèvre qui y vit très bien et y est très féconde. On pourrait utiliser les peaux de chevreaux et les poils de chèvre.\n\nLes communications avec l'extérieur se font par le port d'Haiphong. C'est actuellement le seul port accessible et communiquant directement avec le système fluvial du Tonkin. Encore n'est-il accessible qu'aux hautes marées et pour les navires d'un tirant d'eau inférieur à six mètres. Il paraît suffisant pour les besoins actuels du commerce, mais lorsque le trafic se sera développé, il ne sera plus suffisant.\n\nPour ces diverses améliorations, l'établissement d'une ferme-école par les soins du Gouvernement serait, je crois, d'un effet salutaire.\n\nParmi les articles d'importation au Tonkin, il faut compter en première ligne les cotonnades qui valent à Hanoi de 0 fr. 40 à 1 fr. le mètre, et les cotons filés d'Europe (valant environ 3 fr. le kilog.) et de Bombay (2 fr. le kilog.).\n\nÀ cela vient s'ajouter quelques serviettes venant soit d'Angleterre, soit d'Allemagne, des couvertures en coton et parfois en laine venant d'Angleterre, de la mercerie anglaise, et enfin des couleurs d'aniline d'Allemagne et de Suisse et de l'horlogerie d'Amérique. Toutes ces importations viennent actuellement par la voie de Hong Kong.\n\nIl faudra, si notre industrie française veut prendre son rang dans l'importation au Tonkin, qu'elle lutte de bon marché avec l'industrie anglaise, allemande ou américaine.\n\nOn importa actuellement peu de tissus de laine, mais je crois que les mousselines de laine, que l'on fabrique beaucoup en France, sont appelées à jouer, comme au Japon, un certain rôle au Tonkin à mesure que le bien-être se développera dans la population.\n\nEn somme, le commerce d'importation comme celui d'exportation a peu d'importance actuellement au Tonkin, et on aurait une pauvre idée de l'avenir du pays sous ce rapport, si on consultait les statistiques actuelles des douanes. Cela tient à la pauvreté momentanée du pays, résultant de l'état de guerre et d'oppression dans lequel il s'est trouvé depuis de longues années. L'occupation française doit, à mon sens, inaugurer une ère de prospérité et de bien-être par la sécurité qu'elle assurera à la population indigène. Cette population, trop dense dans le Delta, manque de la sécurité nécessaire au travail, et pourtant elle est active et docile, et quand elle se sentira protégée et délivrée de la piraterie, il sera facile de l'amener peu à peu à cultiver les parties montagneuses qui, en dehors du Delta, sont presque en friche.\n\nDans l'étude que j'ai faite du Tonkin, je ne me suis pas occupé de la question minière qui a été déjà étudiée par des personnes compétentes.\n\nReste la question de nos relations avec les provinces méridionales de la Chine, relations qui doivent contribuer à la richesse du Tonkin par le commerce de transit. Ces provinces sont actuellement isolées du monde entier et exclues du commerce avec les nations européennes.\n\nElles sont riches pourtant et fort peuplées et c'est avec raison que l'on a compté sur leur appoint pour le développement de la prospérité de notre colonie future. Mais la Chine voit avec peine notre voisinage et elle nous le montre par la lutte acharnée qu'elle soutient contre nous.\n\nIl est mal abrité du reste, et il présente de grands inconvénients pour la construction de docks et de quais. Il a aussi le défaut de ne pouvoir recevoir notre flotte de guerre. Il ne faut pas songer à modifier sa barre, mais on a parlé d'utiliser le Cua-Nam-Trien, dont la barre donne 2 à 3 pieds de plus, et de faire communiquer par un canal intérieur le Cua-Nam-Trien avec la Cua-Cam ou même de transporter le port d'Haiphong à Quang-Yen. Ce serait une amélioration, mais insuffisante. On a parlé d'un port à la baie d'Along que l'on ferait communiquer avec l'intérieur par un chemin de fer. Outre que ce chemin de fer serait une complication, la baie d'Along n'est pas un port à proprement parler, mais un mouillage fort éloigné de la terre ferme.\n\nPour utiliser la baie d'Along, il faudrait :\n\n1. Ou s'en servir comme simple mouillage et la faire communiquer par un canal maritime soit à Haiphong, avec un port intérieur situé soit à Quang-Yen,\n2. Ou transformer la baie d'Along en un vrai port en faisant sauter à la dynamite une partie des rochers qui l'entourent, réalisant ainsi par la réunion d'un certain nombre d'îlots en terre-plein où l'on bâtirait une ville maritime avec des docks, magasins, etc. Il suffirait alors de faire communiquer ce port avec le système fluvial du Tonkin par un canal de faible dimension pour le passage des bateaux de rivière.\n\nEn résumé, j'ai confiance en l'avenir de notre colonie du Tonkin. Ce ne sera pas une colonie d'émigration et nous n'en avons, du reste, pas grand besoin. Ce sera une colonie d'administration et de rapport qui nous permettra de prendre une place sérieuse dans l'Extrême-Orient.\n\n## AVIS & COMMUNICATIONS\n\n### Ministère de l'intérieur\n\nLe lundi 4 mai 1885, il sera ouvert, à l'hôtel de la préfecture à Bar-le-Duc, un concours pour l'admission aux emplois d'agents voyers surnuméraires.\n\nLe programme et les conditions du concours sont déposés à la préfecture et au ministère de l'intérieur (service vicinal), 7, rue Cambacérès, où les personnes qui désirent concourir peuvent en prendre connaissance tous les jours, de dix heures à cinq heures, les dimanches **et fêtes exceptés**.\n\n## Domestic\n\n| Date | Reference | Subject |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 21 FEB 85 | `3103` | Extradition Treaty with China |\n\nThe question of the extradition of Chinese who have committed crimes in British Territory is under consideration.

        "content_text": "228 \n\n1 \n\nprevents this line being a very important factor in the mail routine, but it has been possible to establish, by its means, a direct Parcel Post to most countries of the Continent of Europe. There was no parcel post to several important European countries (France for instance) whilst the others were served by a circuitous route via Gibraltar and London. Only six parcels were despatched by the German Packet which left on December 27th. It might be well for German residents in China, who are desirous of getting out any small articles from Germany, to let their friends in that country know that they can now forward parcels not exceeding three kilogrammes in weight to Hongkong or Chinese ports at a fixed postage of Fr. 4.25 per parcel.\n\n7. The following figures as to the arrivals of the first two German mails in London may be of interest.\n\nFrench Mail\nGerman Mail\n\nLeft Hongkong\nSeptember 2\nSeptember 3\n\nSeptember 30\nOctober 1\n\nArrived in London\nOctober 4\nOctober 4\n\nDays\n32\n31/2\n\nNovember 1\nNovember 4\n\n32\n34\n\n8. A correspondence has taken place between the Imperial Post Office, the Colonial Office, and this Government, as to the renewal of the Contract for transporting the English mails between Brindisi and Shanghai. There were only three offers, those, namely, of the P. & O. Co., of Mr. ALFRED HOLT, and of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. One of the tenders of the first-named Company has been accepted, the mails to be carried for £265,000 a year for ten years. The report of this Department on the subject will be found in the Appendix (B).\n\n9. Although the proposed trans-pacific line of steamers between Hongkong and British Columbia will not do much for this Colony so far as postal matters are concerned, its establishment is to be desired on many other grounds. Since the Pacific mail packets commenced running between this port and San Francisco, correspondence with Canada has increased in the most marked manner, chiefly owing no doubt to the numbers of Chinese who have settled in Victoria (B. C.) and elsewhere.\n\n10. The dispute between the Pacific mail Company and the United States Government, which led to the discontinuance of carrying inward mails from San Francisco by the Company's vessels, has been adjusted, and the mails now arrive by every steamer from San Francisco as before. The inconvenience of having the return mails frequently despatched from here on the day fixed for the leaving of the English or French packet still continues.\n\n11. There has been no extension of Money Order business during the year, which is not a matter of regret, as the Money Order system was really growing too fast for the limited resources of the Department to keep pace with it. It has been found absolutely necessary to have more clerical assistance in the Money Order Office, and this has been provided without very much difficulty. The want of room, however, is increasingly and severely felt, and a simple remedy is not so easy to devise. The business of the Money Order Office, like too much of the work of this Department, is carried on in a dark and crowded corner, where literally there is often not room to turn, and where every square inch is economised as if it were a ship's cabin.\n\n12. This want of room is yearly becoming a more serious question. The Sanitary Board has pointed out that the quarters inhabited by the Chinese staff are overcrowded. They certainly are according to European ideas, even according to Chinese ideas there is not much room to spare. When foreign countries begin to claim their International right to have direct Parcel exchanges with Hongkong, it will be very difficult to see where the necessary room is to come from. A little additional space may be gained by building, and by a re-arrangement of verandahs &c., and then (unless it were possible to put on an additional storey) the limit will have been reached, and at much sacrifice of light and air. The Colony will be face to face with a demand for a new Post Office.\n\nThe present building was finished in 1865, and was evidently intended to be final. When the office is rebuilt it should be constructed, not for existing needs, but for those of twenty years later.\n\n13. The Secretary of State has consented, in view of the representations of this Department, to allow the employment of unsalaried probationers, in the Post Office only. Postal work is distinctly work which has to be learnt, a beginner, however intelligent, is somewhat worse than useless; he gets in the way, has to be shown everything, and he makes mistakes. Hence the desirability of having an extra hand always in training, so that when a vacancy does occur it has not to be filled by a raw recruit.\n\n14. It may perhaps be permissible to point out how, in this Office, unlike most other Post Offices, everything has to be filtered through two languages, one of which at least is but very imperfectly understood by many of the clerks who use it. At home a postman reads the address on a letter and delivers it accordingly. Here he depends on one or two hastily written Chinese characters, and if there happens to be a similarity in sound between the name as dictated, or as written, and some other name (Cooper and ... for instance) the chances of a mistake are very great.*\n\n*A letter was handed to a Chinese postman who was told to take it to Mr. X. one that did not lend itself to Chinese pronunciation, the sobriquet of long-bearded X. had been invented to prevent errors. The same difficulty \"Do you mean long-bearded X?\" he asked. The name being applies to names of streets, &c. Richmond Terrace is called the New six houses, West Terrace the Old six houses, the Albany is Figure 1 Bow Che (because of its shape). Pedder's Hill is the Two Flagstaffs (though there are no flagstaffs there now), the Wellington Barracks are called after a Chinese character (冖) which their ground plan is supposed to resemble.\n\n15. A Committee consisting of the Acting Harbour Master, the Director of the Observatory, and the Postmaster General was appointed to examine into the question of signalling the English mails from Kowloon Point. It was found impossible to devise any efficient and inexpensive signal which would not clash with the weather signals made at that station. It was therefore recommended that the use of the Kowloon Point gun for mail signals should be discontinued. Fortunately no inconvenience has arisen from the arrival of an unsignalled mail, a circumstance which may be due to an unusual freedom from fog during the year. It is to be hoped that some day all difficulties of this kind will be obviated telegraphic communication with the projected Gap Rock lighthouse, which would give the community here four hours notice of the approach of the mail.\n\n16. In the meantime a direct telephone line between this Office and the Peak signal station is much to be desired. What with clouds, night-fall, flags blowing straight on end, and other circumstances, the Post Office too often obtains the minimum rather than the maximum of information from the Peak.\n\n17. There have been two casualties during the year. The steamer Douglas was lost on February 10th with coast mails on board, which were not recovered. Communication between the Coast Ports and Hongkong having been interrupted for several days by the Chinese New Year holidays, the mails were unfortunately exceptionally heavy. The Madras was lost with a mail for this Office from Nagasaki. Most of the correspondence was subsequently recovered by H. M. S. Midge, and forwarded to destination.\n\n18. The service to Japan has gone on fairly well, the mails having been forwarded without many excessive delays. The English mail of January 22nd was sent on to Kobe in the City of Rio (via Yokohama). It would have been better to keep it here a couple of days longer for the Zambesi, but at the time of its despatch it was not known when that vessel would start. The English mail of September 3 was sent to Yokohama in the Claymore, whereas it should have been kept for the Stettin. The German service was a little new at the time, the Stettin was not notified, and it escaped notice that there would be a German Packet leaving within a day or two. As far as is known these were the only occasions on which this Office failed to secure the earliest opportunity for a mail for Japan except one instance (the French mail for Yokohama of October 22nd) in which it was so doubtful which steamer would arrive first that this office would not take the responsibility of diverting the mail from its ordinary route via Kobe. Against these may be set the fact that, on July 13th, the Agent of the Pacific Mail Co. courteously detained the San Pablo for the arrival of the English mail, thus saving the Yokohama community a delay of probably at least two days.\n\n19. The abolition of accounts with the London Office, referred to in the last Annual Report as under consideration, has been carried out, and our relations with the United Kingdom are now simply those of the Postal Union, with a special payment of £6,000 a year in addition. The saving of labour, copying, &c. is very considerable.\n\n20. The state of several of our Postal Agencies, specially those of Amoy and Foochow, was taken into serious consideration by the Government on the earnest representations of this Department. It was felt that the existing condition of affairs could not be allowed to go on, and that, unsatisfactory as it might be for Hongkong to be saddled with the whole expense of improving these Agencies, improved they must be—or abolished.* The Estimates for this year would accordingly have embodied provision for a considerable increase of staff at Amoy, had not a proposal been made which promised an entirely new departure.\n\n21. This was a proposal from Mr. Commissioner KOPSCH, on behalf of the Chinese Government, to take over, as a step towards the establishment of a national Post Office, the Postal work carried on by this Government at eight of the Treaty Ports of China. The report of this Department on that proposal will be found in the Appendix (C).\n\n22. Mr. Kopsch's scheme has of course raised much discussion, especially in Shanghai, where a public meeting was convened to consider the matter. The tone both of this meeting, and of the some articles and correspondence in the newspapers, was most fair, reasonable, and moderate. Some of the objections raised possess much force, though only one has as yet been put forward which can be regarded as a real obstacle to the proposal.\n\n23. How China may elect to develop her Postal system is not in any special way the affair of Hongkong, but a single remark on the subject may perhaps be allowable. To demand that so huge an Empire shall be covered with a network of courier services organised by the Imperial Government before that Government may attempt the much more modest task of carrying on the small coast service at present conducted by this Colony, is, as one of the speakers at Shanghai graphically put it, like insisting that a boy shall not go near the water till he has learned to swim. Any successful postal system in China must begin from the coast, and with steamer communication. It may then possibly be pushed up the rivers as steamers are admitted to them, and extended to a few of the shorter land routes, especially as railways are introduced. To make haste slowly should be the motto, and the avoidance of huge schemes like a pestilence the policy of the Chinese Post Office of the immediate future.\n\nThese remarks must not be taken as implying any reflection on the officers in charge of the Agencies in question, whose only fault was their inability to do impossibilities, or to be in two places at once.",

On the other hand, no suggestion to open additional agencies at the expense of this Government should be entertained.\n\n25. The time has perhaps arrived when something should be done to bring the Chinese correspondence transmitted to and from this Colony more under control. There can be no doubt that the revenue suffers serious loss from the smuggling of thousands of Chinese letters, not to Chinese ports where there is no national Post Office to receive them, but to San Francisco, Australia, the Straits Settlements, and other places where efficient Post Offices exist. The subject is surrounded with difficulties, and the sweeping measures so often advocated, besides being ruinously expensive, would make the Postal Department here a nuisance and a hindrance to trade which would not be tolerated for a week. The function of a Post Office is to facilitate, not to hinder business. Proposals of a practical nature have, as you are aware, been submitted to the Government in this matter, and they are at present under consideration.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\n5. As to the contribution of Hongkong, the Colonial Office has already raised the question whether, if the Imperial Government effects a saving, the Colonies should not share it. The Imperial Treasury replies, Ceylon, yes; Singapore and Hongkong, no. Hongkong's equitable share of the loss was assessed at £12,000 odd, and the Colony has been allowed to pay only £6,000. Unless the saving to the Imperial Government amounted to lowering the expenditure by more than half, this sum could not be reduced. This appears to be a fair way of regarding the matter, and I think this Colony should be content to stipulate that it is not to be asked for more than £6,000.\n\n8. As to the Canadian route, the Imperial Post Office confirms what I have held since first I looked into the proposal. The service would be slower by three days than that via Suez, and unless fortnightly, and timed to alternate regularly with the French packets, could not possibly replace those of the P. & O. As an alternative route it might be of some service, but unless the homeward packet left here within three days of the departure of the English and French Mails, even this small advantage would be lost.\n\n7. The question of the hour of departure may seem a small one, but it is not so in reality, for it must be remembered that any inconvenience caused by an unsuitable hour will recur fortnightly till it is removed. It is better therefore to attend to the point now than to have discontent and memorialising by and by. It is very desirable that the P. & O. packets, like those of the Messageries line, should leave at noon. The hour of departure of the French packets cannot be altered, on account of saving daylight at the mouth of the Saigon river. Having consulted with Mr. McEwen, the only member of the Chamber of Commerce I can get hold of this morning, I consider that a uniform noon departure of both mails would meet the wishes of the business and general community, and would do away with the long and fatiguing day now caused fortnightly by the later hour fixed for the departure of the English Mail,\n\nI have &c.,\n\nThe Honourable F.

The sale of postage stamps, a much more satisfactory test, shows a steady increase.\n\nNo. 38.\n\n(B.)\n\nGENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, June 16th, 1886,\n\nSIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 939 of yesterday's date, referring to me for an early report the Secretary of State's Despatch No. 57 of May 14, with its enclosures respecting the proposed new contract for the Eastern Mail Service.\n\n2. This subject has been so long under discussion, and is presented by the London Post Office in so clear a light, that there appears to be no doubt as to the course the Colony should pursue. In recommending that the Telegram enclosed in draft should be forwarded without delay, I have the pleasure of knowing that I am in accord with the views of the Legislative Council and of the Chamber of Commerce.\n\n3. That draft Telegram deals with four points.\n\n(1.) The best tender to accept.\n\n(2.) The contribution of Hongkong.\n\n(3.) The Canadian route.\n\n(4.) The hour of departure from Hongkong.\n\n4. As to the best tender to accept, Ford WOLVERTON's lucid report leaves no question open. I am very glad to see that no experiments are to be tried in the way of leaving the mails to be conveyed, on any portion of the route, by chance steamers.\n\nNo. 29.\n\nGENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, May 26th, 1886.\n\nSIR,-I have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter addressed to me by Mr. H. Kopsch, one of the Commissioners of Customs under the Chinese Government, and a special Commissioner for Postal purposes in China. Mr. Kopsch enquires whether, in view of an extension to all the Treaty Ports of the Customs Postal Service which has been for some years in existence in China, and the intended establishment of a Chinese national Post Office, this Department will withdraw its Postal Agencies from the Ports of Hoihow, Canton, Swatow, Amoy, Foochow, Ningpo, and Hankow, and its Post Office from Shanghai.\n\n2. I enclose a copy of the reply I forwarded to Mr. Kopsch, pointing out that these Agencies are in reality Agencies of the Imperial Post Office.\n\n3. As His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government will probably think it necessary to refer this matter to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, for the consideration of the Imperial Post Office, I permit myself to offer a few words on this proposal.\n\n4. It seems to me that one main consideration should be kept in view, namely the convenience and welfare of the communities at the various Treaty Ports, which perhaps include more of our fellow-countrymen than of any other nation, the convenience and welfare of their correspondents in other parts of the world, and the interests of trade. The experience of more than eleven years in dealing with the only organised Post Offices in the Far East (until the Japanese Offices were established) convinces me that it is desirable in these interests to accept the proposal of the Chinese Government if possible.\n\n5. Extra-territorial Post Offices may be described as necessary evils, and evils which should be got rid of as soon as the necessity for their continuance is removed. The objections to them must be so well known to H. M. Government that I need not here recapitulate them. In China they have certainly been free from one disadvantage attaching to them elsewhere they have not, hitherto, wounded national susceptibility. But it is quite possible they may eventually do so, and that before very long.\n\n6. The Hongkong Government maintains, under very great disadvantages, eight Post Offices in China. They are worked (except at Shanghai) by Consular Officers, whose Consular duties naturally have to take precedence. Able and diligent as most of these gentlemen are, their frequent removals, and the pressure of other duties inevitably stand in the way of the attainment of any very high degree of efficiency. By the time a Postal Agent has learnt his duties he is due for transfer to another port.\n\n7. The Post Offices at most of the Ports, being in the Consulates, are too far removed from the business parts of the Settlements to be really efficient. Only this morning, in looking into a question relative to Swatow, I am reminded that a letter cannot be registered there without sending a messenger across a (frequently tempestuous) stretch of sea which under the most favourable circumstances it takes an hour to cross and re-cross.\n\n8. Another great disadvantage is that the Hongkong Government of course cannot enforce any Postal Regulations in Chinese Ports. The residents send their letters by the mail if they think fit to do so; if not, and more generally, they send them on board the steamers. Too often the chief function of the Post Office seems to be to take the blame if anything goes wrong.\n\n9. The Customs Authorities propose to replace this very inadequate service with Post Offices at 23 ports (including all those at which this Office maintains Agencies). At most if not all of these Ports all the facilities this office can offer would be given to the public, and I cannot doubt that those facilities would eventually be much extended.\n\n10. The Customs would bring to the task very much larger staffs, officers on duty night and day, buildings in the heart of the business quarters, steam-launches, facilities for boarding steamers both on arrival and departure, the power of search, and, most important of all, the sanction of the national authority, which would allow of the making and enforcing of regulations, such as exist in most ports elsewhere.",

        "content_text": "DESPATCH.\n\n11. I am aware that a proposal to hand over Postal business to any one not under the immediate control of the British Government will be regarded by some persons, even by some persons whose opinions are entitled to great respect, with a feeling of little less than horror. Very much the same prejudice existed with regard to the withdrawal of our Post Offices from Japan some years ago. If since that withdrawal, there has ever been a syllable of complaint from the foreign communities in Japan, I have not heard of it; and if there are Post Offices that do their work better than the Japanese Offices do, I have yet to be made acquainted with them.\n\n12. Moreover the way in which the Customs Postal Agencies have been managed so far (of which I feel I am to some extent in a position to speak), the way in which the whole work of the Customs is done, and the manner in which the lighting of the coast of China has been accomplished and maintained—all these forbid the supposition that Postal work which only requires ordinary care and attention, would be unsafe in the hands of the Customs establishment.\n\n13. I therefore most cordially recommend the acceptance of the proposal put forward by Mr. Korscn.\n\n14. With regard to Mr. Korscn's further questions numbered 2 and 3, I may report as follows;—\n\n15. It is not likely that anything can be definitely arranged so early as January, 1887.\n\n16. Supposing foreign Post Offices withdrawn, but China not for some time subsequent to their withdrawal admitted to the Postal Union, the position would be this; China would be a Non-Union Country, the correspondence originating in which would find its way to the rest of the world through two Union Countries, Hongkong and Japan, the bulk of it through Hongkong.\n\n17. It would be far more satisfactory than making any special and temporary arrangements for Hongkong at once to treat China as if it were a Union Country, that is to say:\n\n(a.) Correspondence posted at Chinese Post Offices would be prepaid in any stamps the Chinese Government chose to use, would be forwarded by Hongkong as paid to destination, and the Chinese Post Office would keep all the sums it collected by way of postage on such correspondence.\n\n(b.) Once a year till China should enter the Postal Union, or once in three years after such entry, observations would be made in Hongkong, during 28 days, of the amount of correspondence originating in China passing through. The totals of these observations would be multiplied by 13.\n\n(c.) China would pay Hongkong the actual sums this Colony would be out of pocket from having forwarded the correspondence at its own expense, plus transit rates of 2 fr. per kilogramme for letters and 25 centimes per kilogramme for other objects. In the case of correspondence made up into closed mails these transit rates would not be charged.\n\n(d.) With regard to correspondence for China from foreign countries, the expenses of transit would be arranged by Hongkong with the countries of origin, which are responsible for such expenses, and the correspondence would reach Chinese Offices as paid.\n\n18. This is precisely the course which has been adopted with regard to the Colony of Macao, the Post Office of which used to be regarded as a kind of semi-recognised agency of this Office. The financial results are, I should imagine, satisfactory to that Colony.\n\n19. A great number of details will require settlement in the event of the acceptance of this proposal, but it is useless to attempt to deal with them at present. I will only say that I know of none incapable of satisfactory adjustment. For the information of the Imperial Post Office I may add that the almost daily communication between this port and Shanghai and the possession by the Chinese Government of a line of steamers will prevent any difficulty as to the conveyance of mails, even if both the English and French Mail lines should cease to operate further than Hongkong.\n\n20. The desirability of simplifying Postal matters at Shanghai, where, in a moderate-sized settlement, there are half a dozen different Post Offices, is a point on which I have reported so often that it is needless now to say more about it.\n\nI have &c.,\n\nThe Honourable F.

        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

        "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHongkong, June 23rd, 1887.\n\nCELEBRATION OF THE QUEEN'S JUBILEE IN HONGKONG.\n\nThe fiftieth anniversary of Her Most Gracious Majesty's accession to the throne was celebrated in Hongkong yesterday. The principal festivities have been reserved for November, but it was impossible to let the day itself pass without suitable observance. It was accordingly declared a general holiday by His Excellency the Acting Governor under the powers conferred upon him by the Public Holidays Ordinance, and the Government Offices, the Banks, insurance offices, stores, newspaper offices, and most of the mercantile offices suspended business. The weather, although hot, was fine, and, for the time of year, pleasant.\n\nIn the morning a meeting of the Legislative Council was held to despatch a message of congratulation to Her Majesty, after which the Acting Governor and Council attended divine service in St. John's Cathedral. The sacred edifice was handsomely decorated with flags and foliage, and the new organ was used for the first time publicly on this occasion. The attendance was, we believe, the largest ever seen in the cathedral, and the service throughout was most impressive.\n\nIn the afternoon there was a parade of the troops, and in the evening there were a display of blue lights, rockets, and the electric light from the men-of-war in harbour, and open air rejoicings by the Northamptonshire Regiment at Murray Barracks. Everything throughout the day passed off most successfully and the whole community seemed bent on holiday making.\n\nTHE MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.\n\nThe meeting of the Legislative Council was summoned for ten o'clock, and all the members being in their places at that hour, His Excellency the Acting Governor, Major-General Cameron, attended by his Aide-de-Camp and Private Secretary, entered.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said—Honourable members of the Council, I have the honour to move a resolution that a telegram be sent to Her Majesty on behalf of this Council to the following effect, to be submitted through the Secretary of State :-\n\n“We, the Governor and Legislature of the colony of Hongkong in Council assembled, desire on this auspicious day to convey to Your Majesty from this distant outpost of Your Empire on behalf of this Council and all Your Majesty's loving subjects here our most loyal and devoted attachment to Your Majesty's throne and person and to Your Majesty's glorious reign and of our fervid hope that Your Majesty's reign may be long continued and prosperous and peaceful. Thanksgiving services to-day at various places of worship. The Governor and members of Legislative Council will attend officially at the Cathedral. An influential committee of inhabitants have decided to commemorate the Jubilee by erecting a statue of Her Majesty and are collecting funds for that purpose and for fêtes and general rejoicings in November.\n\n“We have very few minutes to spare before we adjourn to the Cathedral to render thanks for the great blessings we have received during Her Majesty's reign and to offer up prayers for its long continuance. I feel that amongst all the messages Her Majesty will receive on this auspicious occasion there will be no message more genuine, more full of love, devotion, and loyalty, than the one from the Legislature of this colony sent on behalf of as warm-hearted and impressionable a community as exists in any of Her Majesty's dominions.\n\n“We have reason to be particularly thankful for this long and prosperous reign. During no other portion of our history, I suppose, have the colonies been drawn so closely to the mother country as during Her Majesty's reign, and I fully believe that it is chiefly due to the way that the throne has been filled during these fifty years that that strong wish for a grand federation of the British empire which now exists has taken root. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Her Majesty has endeared herself to all Her subjects, and we all know—those who have spent a great portion of their time in the old country all know—that Her Majesty's name is a household word in every cottage in the land. It is that deep feeling of love and attachment that exists between all sections of the community and our Sovereign Lady that has tended, I believe, as I said before, more towards the federation of this grand, vast empire that we all look forward to than anything else.\n\n“We have but very little time to spare and I need say no more to commend this resolution to your cordial acceptance.” (Applause.)\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—Your Excellency, I have much pleasure in seconding the resolution. Your Excellency has so ably dealt with the subject that there is little left for me to say. I can only say on behalf of the residents of the chief city of the colony of Hongkong, called after Her Majesty, that they have on previous occasions not been backward in loyalty, and on this occasion I think they will sustain their character. Hongkong owes a great deal to Her Majesty. She has given it the protection of Her land and sea forces, she has given it a charter, and she has made it a free port, and to all these things combined I think we may trace the prosperity of the colony. From a barren rock some forty years ago we now see it transformed into a handsome city of 160,000 inhabitants and with docks, wharves, warehouses, and everything necessary to accommodate a large commerce, a commerce which does exist and which I hope will go on increasing. For that we have to thank Her Majesty and Her Government, and I hope to-day and on the 9th November Hongkong will not be behindhand.” (Applause.)\n\nThe question that the resolution do pass was then formally put and carried.\n\nHis Excellency and the members of Council then proceeded to the Cathedral, the Acting Chief Justice, Hon. J. Russell, C.M.G., walking with His Excellency and the other members following two by two according to seniority, as follows: —Hon. F. STEWART, Acting Colonial Secretary; Hon. E. J. ACKROYD, Acting Attorney-General; Hon. A. LISTER, Colonial Treasurer; Hon. J. M. PRICE, Surveyor-General; Hon. H. G. THOMSETT, Harbour Master; Hon. P. RYRIE, Hon. WONG SHING, Hon. A. P. MACEWEN, Hon. J. BELL-IRVING, and Hon. C. P. CHATER; Mr. A. SETH, Clerk of Councils, bringing up the rear. An escort of two officers and fifty rank and file, of the Northamptonshire Regiment with the Queen's and Regimental colours and band, accompanied the procession, and the road from the Government Offices to the Cathedral was lined by Gun Lascar...\n\nTHE SERVICE AT THE CATHEDRAL.\n\nThe general arrangements for the service at Cathedral were entrusted to a Committee composed as follows:—The Right Revd. Bishop Burdon (Chairman), Revd. F. GACE, Hon. E. J. ACKROYD, Hon. H. G. THOMSETT, R.N., Hon. A. LISTER, Mr. C. FORD, Mr. J. ORANGE, Dr. PRESTON, R.N., and Mr. C. F. A. SANGSTER. A sub-committee for decorations was also formed composed of Hon. H. G. THOMSETT, R.N., Dr. PRESTON, R.N., Mr. C. FORD, and Mr. J. ORANGE. These gentlemen had carried out their duties in a most satisfactory and praiseworthy manner, the Cathedral presenting a very pretty and artistic appearance.\n\nThe walls of the nave and chancel were hung with flags of all nations, while over the chancel steps the Royal Standard was displayed, the Union Jack being conspicuous above the communion table. On either side of the Chancel were placed a number of flowers and ferns, and the pulpit, reading desk...",

        "content_text": "over \n\nnine: \n\ngreat glow of light hung over the town. The Chinese fireworks commenced on the Parade Ground soon afterwards, and a few rockets were sent up at intervals, while the steamer Titania threw its electric light intermittently on the harbour. Shortly before the bonfire on the Peak broke into a bright blaze, and a few minutes later other beacon fires flared to heaven from other points on the heights. About nine o'clock the bulky form of the Victor Emanuel suddenly emerged from the dense gloom in which she lay, a mass of glowing crimson, every port and spar being distinctly revealed, while the Constance and the Leander rose out of the obscurity under the luminous lime light, which brought them into startlingly vivid relief. Simultaneously a hissing stream of rockets soared upward from the barge on which the fireworks were being let off, and green and crimson fires were conspicuous on Victoria Gap. A few moments later showers of rockets sprang from the Peak and different heights, and the coloured stars falling from them at that height produced a novel and beautiful effect. At this time the illuminations were at their best. The city was flooded in light, with the purple haze above it, the long lines of twinkling lamps which marked the course of the white Bowen Road, the slender string of red lamps which indicated the track of the Tramway up the face of the Peak, the thick line of lights near the summit, the illuminated bungalows of Messrs Veitch, Chater, and Dennys, standing out against the sky, and the water below crowded with gaily lighted craft, and from which in the darker portion the men-of-war apparently bathed in coloured flame, while far off on the other side the Kowloon Police Station stood an oasis of lambent light in a wilderness of blackness, formed altogether a magnificent and never-to-be-forgotten sight. The men-of-war illuminations were remarkably fine, the vessels now appearing in blue, now in crimson, and anon in silvery whiteness, and their sudden emergences from the gloom were greeted with exclamations of astonishment, delight, and approval by the Chinese, who watched the ping-shün (soldier-ships) with the keenest interest. The streets and Praya were crowded with moving streams of sight-seers, who scarcely began to thin before eleven o'clock, when the illuminations commenced to wane, but half-an-hour later there was sensible diminution, and at midnight the great spectacle was over. Below we append as many details as we could gather in the time:--\n\nIN VICTORIA.\n\nThe City Hall, with its fine façade and handsome lines, lends itself readily to decoration, and its illumination on Wednesday evening was a sight that could not easily be surpassed. On the Praya side were the words \"Victoria Regina\" in immense letters composed of coloured lanterns running the whole length of the building, surmounted by a crown, with the figures 1837 and 1887 above and below it, while a series of arches composed of lanterns was carried along the top cornice. The eastern façade, facing the Cricket Ground, had Chinese transparencies fixed in the top of the arches of the verandah on the ground floor, while the upper part was covered with an artistic arrangement of hundreds of Japanese lanterns. The front of the building was covered with festoons and lines of coloured lanterns, with a series of shields with trophies of flags running under the top cornice, some of the shields bearing pictures of Hongkong at various periods of its history, and the others appropriate devices. In the centre were two larger shields with the figures 1837 and 1887 in blue on gold ground with flags draped above, and on the wings flanking the entrance were other large shields, the upper ones bearing St. George's Cross and the British Lion, and the lower ones the Prince of Wales's Arms and the Irish Harp respectively. The shields were draped with ensigns. A large transparency, showing a portrait of Her Majesty, was placed over the main entrance to the Hall. There were numerous lanterns hung in trees in front, in some cases up to the very top branches, and the general effect of the whole design was superb.\n\nThe Dent Fountain, which had been cleaned up, played jets of water. Drinking cups had been provided, and the fountain was much patronised by thirsty Chinese sight-seers eager to quench their thirst.\n\nOn the opposite side of the road Beaconsfield Arcade was illuminated with lanterns in the arches of the top verandah, and Messrs. Schmidt and Co., watchmakers, had a star in gas over their entrance. Beaconsfield, now occupied by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire, had its front covered with white lanterns.\n\nThe magnificent building of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank was most artistically dealt with. Over the portico were the words \"God save the Queen\" in gold letters on a white ground, with the figures 1837 and 1887 on each side. There were also shields bearing \"V. R.\" and other appropriate devices, and the whole façade was illuminated with red and white lanterns, with one monster lantern 11 feet high hanging in the entrance with the Royal Standard and Union Jack painted on it, surmounted by the Crown, the figures 1837 and 1887 appearing below. This huge affair drew forth many exclamations of astonishment from the Chinese. The eastern side of the Bank building was treated in a similar style. There was the name \"Victoria\" in gold letters on a white ground on the entablature over the centre pair of columns, with shields and trophies of flags on each side, the shields bearing the novel and appropriate device of the colours of various countries quartered—British, American, French, and German. There were also shields bearing \"1837\" and \"1887,\" and lanterns were hung round the pillars and along the top. The dome was lighted by strings of small coloured glass lamps carried up and around it, and stood out prominently. On the bamboo scaffolding of the still unfinished side of the Bank the letters \"V. R.\" and figures \"1837\" and \"1887\" were formed by white lanterns on a large scale and were very effective. Coloured lights were burned on the Praya side of the Bank at short intervals.\n\nProceeding along the Praya we next come to Messrs. D. Sassoon, Sons and Co.'s hong, illuminated with large masses of white lanterns under the cornice, the verandah arches being outlined in red with a large white lantern hanging in the arch. Messrs. Schellhass and Co. made a good show with red, white, and blue lanterns. The offices of the Messageries Maritimes were hung with beautiful variegated lanterns in lines. One of the most conspicuous features in the illumination as seen from the water were the stars and stripes of the United States which covered the whole front of Messrs. Russell and Co.'s hong worked out in blue, red, and white lanterns, sixteen hundred in all. The same design was adopted in the illuminations on the occasion of the Princes' visit, and was considered very successful then, but it was still more so this time, the ingenuity of the gentlemen who had the work in hand having discovered means of improving what appeared perfect before. There was also a design in white lanterns on the flagstaff. The chief feature in Messrs. Melchers and Co.'s illumination, and one that excited much admiration, was a large transparency painted from the Norddeutscher Lloyd's picture advertisement representing a fine Atlantic liner. On one side of this, in similar transparency, were the Norddeutscher Lloyd's arms, and on the other, also in transparency, three flags crossed—the British and German and the house flag of the firm. The paintings, excellently executed, were the work of Bung Qua, who was superintended by Mr. Baptista. There was also a large display of lanterns, with the letters \"V. R.\" in coloured glass lamps. The lower part of the same house is occupied by Messrs. Blackhead and Co., who had flags hung out. The corner house of this block, occupied by Messrs. More and Seimund on the ground floor and by Messrs. Holliday, Wise and Co., Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg and Co., and the Wharf and Godown Company above, was illuminated by white and coloured lanterns and various Chinese transparencies. One of the latter over the door in Pedder's street had moving figures, and appeared to amuse the Chinese.\n\nCrossing Pedder's-street, not noticing for the present the Clock Tower or the Triumphal Arch at Pedder's Wharf, we come to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co.'s hong, which had a large transparency with \"V. R.\" and underneath it a St. Andrew's cross surrounded by thistles. There were",

        "content_text": "We were also large number of lanterns with the Union Jack painted on them. On the Pedder's Street frontage of this hong we noticed a huge transparency representing a steam-launch. The house next door, where Messrs. Stolterfoht and Hirst, Messrs. Danby and Leigh, and Mr. Lamke have their offices, had lanterns outlining the arches of the verandahs with larger lanterns hanging in the centre, and flags at the top of the house. The Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Company displayed a gas illumination of a steamer, with a crown below, the letters V. R. on either side, and their flag on one side and on the other a monogram with the letters H. W. D. C. The building occupied by the Union Insurance Society of Canton, Limited, and the Co. had a large crown in lanterns standing up from the top of the building, and below it a transparency with \"50\" in large figures, with lanterns running along the outlines of the building. Messrs. Douglas Lapraik and Co. had their flagstaff rigged with coloured lanterns, and had the face of the building illuminated with similar lanterns, with sidelights standing at the balustrading of the verandah bearing the British Lion and the firm's house flag. Messrs. Wieler and Co. had their verandah arches filled in with masses of lanterns, and Messrs. Nam Hing Loong's godowns next door had a bamboo scaffolding erected in front, on which were hung lanterns and \"V. R.\" in a transparency.\n\nWe next come to the Victoria Hotel, which made an exceedingly fine display both on the Praya and Queen's-road frontage. On the Praya there was a brilliant 6 feet star in gas, two small transparencies of the Queen, framed with lanterns, with a \"V. R.\" on each side, with rows of lanterns filling up the centre opening of the verandah. In Pottinger-street Mr. Dorabjee had bamboos thrown across from the hotel to the opposite houses at short intervals, and each bamboo was closely hung with lanterns, forming an illuminated arcade. On the Queen's-road side there was the motto in gas, in large letters, \"God Bless the Empress of India\" with \"V. R.\" in monogram on either side; above the motto, in the centre, was an oil portrait of Her Majesty illuminated with a frame of gas jets burning in opaque globes. The interior and main entrance of the hotel were decorated and illuminated with handsome Japanese lanterns.\n\nReturning to the Praya and still proceeding westward we come to Mr. Kiley's, sailmaker, who had a large American flag floating from the top of the building, with another flag with a humorous device beneath it. On the front of the building were American flags in great profusion, a transparency of the American eagle, a portrait of Her Majesty, with Union Jacks draped at the sides, and a number of lanterns. Mr. Kiley seemed, however, to have paid more attention to the day than to the night effect. Ying Lok and Co., next door, had a mat erection extending the whole height of the house, containing figures and illuminated with glass lamps. On the opposite side of the roadway was a shed for one of the numerous Chinese entertainments. Wing Tai had a transparency over the arch of the verandah with the words \"Her Most Gracious Majesty's Jubilee. Wing Tai and Co.\" There was also a good display of lamps. The Peninsular and Oriental S. N. Co.'s temporary offices had a 20 feet gas star with the figures \"50\" in the centre. This had a diamond frame of red lanterns, and there were red and white lanterns following the lines of the building, and strings of lanterns led down from the flagstaff. The design was an excellent one and looked well from whatever point of view it was visible. At the doorway were cylindrical lanterns, with \"Jubilee,\" \"V.R.,\" and the Royal Arms painted on them. Messrs. Wing Kee & Co., the shipchandlers, had a large matshed erected in front of their premises, with figures, and decorated with flags and illuminated by kerosine chandeliers, and a very fine and large transparency displaying the Royal Arms. A number of the Chinese hongs further westward were illuminated more or less, amongst which we noticed Tuck Lee's and Fook Kee's. At the Hankow wharf we noticed an oil painting of the steamer fixed at the top of the gate. The Hongkong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Co.'s wharf had lanterns over the entrance, and the flagstaff at the end of the wharf was also decorated. The steamer lying alongside presented a gay appearance covered as it was with white and coloured lanterns.\n\nThe Harbour Master's Office had a large display of flags, rows of lanterns running along the face of the building, and in front the motto \"Vivat Regina\" in red letters on a blue ground and several anchors covered with gold paper.\n\nIt may be remarked here that the junk anchorage presented quite a gay appearance during the day, most of the craft having bright red flags flying, and at night some of them made a show of lanterns. The cargo boats lying along Praya Central east of Pedder's Wharf also made a notable contribution to the illuminations by the strings of lanterns they displayed.\n\nThe On Tai Insurance Office, of which Mr. Ho Amei is Secretary, had a fancy mat erection over the doorway with a portrait of the Queen, and a display of flags and lanterns. He also showed the V.R. monogram in gas.\n\nBonham Strand and Bonham Strand West were covered in with open matting and brilliantly illuminated with chandeliers carrying kerosine lamps, forming a handsome arcade. Under the arcade a good number of groups of Chinese figures were hung, and along the sides of the street pots of choice plants were placed. Amongst the numerous Chinese entertainments which afforded amusement to crowds of Chinese in the Western district we noticed one at this point in which a clumsy looking and muscular Chinaman performed quite surprising tricks with a pair of heavy cymbals, requiring both strength and dexterity, accompanied by a band of other instrumentalists.\n\nSt. Peter's Church had a 12 ft. cross on the tower, and lines of lanterns along the body of the building. The Sailors Home, in the same compound, had a line of gas along the top cornice and a 10 ft. anchor, also in gas, while the gateway was illuminated with lanterns with the V. R. and Union Jack. No. 7 Police Station, close by, was also elaborately decorated. \"God save the Queen\" was worked in flowers on a green ground over the doorway, surmounted by a crown, the whole face of the building being lit up at night by numerous lanterns of various descriptions.\n\nAlong the Praya from the Recreation Club's premises (where a row of lanterns on the bridge to the bath-house added not a little to the illuminations at night) Venetian masts had been erected at intervals of 35 feet as far as the Harbour Office, and a string of flags ran from one to the other the whole way, each mast being further decorated with a shield and group of flags and a banner. These masts were painted different colours, some red, blue, black, etc.\n\nAt Murray Wharf there was a gay display of bunting, and it was illuminated with lanterns.\n\nAt Pedder's Wharf a magnificent triumphal arch had been erected. The structure was covered with blue cloth, which formed a good groundwork for the decorations. From the top of the arch floated the Royal Standard, flanked by the white ensign. Over the arch was the motto \"God save the Queen\" in red letters on a blue ground, with shields bearing the figures \"1837\" and \"1887\" Below these were larger shields with \"V. R.\" on them and flags draped above. Numerous silver stars were fixed on the blue ground, and the whole was illuminated by rows of gas jets in white globes running along the top and round the arch. The side facing the sea was decorated in similar style and the whole effect was very fine. The wharf itself was gaily decorated with flags suspended from Venetian masts.\n\nThe illuminations and decorations along Queen's-road had received no less care than those on the Praya. We have already described the City Hall and the Bank. Spanning the road at the latter building was a triumphal arch similar to that at Pedder's Wharf, except that it was covered with red cloth with the mottoes in large red letters on a gold ground \"She has lived in our hearts,\" \"The People to their Queen.\" Great care and expense had been bestowed on these arches, of which altogether there were three of similar design, the other spanning the road at Murray Barracks, and they formed a conspicuous feature in the decorations.\n\nPage 533",

        "content_text": "was 814. Looking westward from under the arch the avenue extending to Ice House street formed a perfect picture in the day time with its strings of flags spanning the road at short intervals. If the flags could have been replaced by lamps at sundown the night effect would have been much enhanced, as there was a want of over-head light to complete the thing, notwithstanding the brilliancy of the house illuminations.\n\nMessrs. Siemssen and Co., next door to the Bank, had a large display of Japanese lanterns of a unique description in lines and curves. Victoria Building (occupied by Mr. Chater's office, and those of brokers, merchants, &c.) had a brilliant gas illumination over the front of the porch showing the Queen's head in a wreath, with \"1837\" and \"1887\" to the left and right, and a 4ft. star on each side of the porch. The whole portion and the cornices of the building were also completely outlined with gas jets. Underneath the cornices were lines of red, white, and blue cloth inter-woven and looped up with rosettes, and there were masses of green foliage under the windows. On the porch was also a trophy of flags with a shield bearing the British Lion and on two other shields were the Prince of Wales's coat of arms. The street decorations of this section converged at this point, a large lantern hanging from a convenient branch of the tree opposite, and strings of smaller lanterns running from it to the posts from which the flags were stretched across the road. Messrs. E. D. Sassoon and Co. had their hong illuminated with a large number of white and red lanterns tastefully arranged. Messrs. Pustan and Co., at the corner house, had rows of various coloured lanterns running the whole length of the building and coloured glass lamps along the parapet.\n\nThe New Oriental Bank at the corner of Queen's-road and Duddell-street had a profuse display of coloured lanterns hanging from bamboos at the top. The Chartered Bank, at the opposite corner, was illuminated with lanterns and glass lamps on the first and second floor, and the ground floor had lamps hung round the arches of the building. The Chartered Mercantile Bank, on the opposite side of Queen's-road, had lanterns following the lines of the building, with \"V. R.\" in small glass lamps in the centre. Along the remains of the adjoining house, now in course of demolition, rows of lanterns were hung. The Telegraph Companies' offices had a large display of lanterns. Messrs. Kelly and Walsh had a \"V. R.\" in red lanterns, and a large number of variegated lanterns.\n\nThe Hongkong Hotel made a large use of gas in its illumination. On the Queen's-road side it had 6 ft. Crown, and the letter \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other, each 4 feet high. On the Pedder's street frontage there was a 7 ft. star with the \"V\" and \"R\" the same as in Queen's Road. On the Queen's-road side were the words \"God bless our Queen\" in English and Chinese, and \"Victoria's Jubilee,\" and the arches on the ground floor had lanterns running round them. In Pedder's-street the verandah arches were filled up in the same way on the ground and first floors, with a lamp at the entrance bearing the words \"The Jubilee Year, 1887.\" There were also shields and trophies of flags. The hall of the Hotel was brilliantly illuminated with lanterns, some with mottos, one of them very practically conveying the recommendation \"Let us drink to the health, long life, and happiness of our gracious Queen Victoria.\"\n\nThe Victoria Dispensary, on the opposite side of the street was decorated with flags and the chambers above were illuminated with Japanese lanterns. Mr. Piron's, Mr. Kahn's, Mr. Henerfanth's, and Mr. Lang's establishments were also illuminated with lanterns. The large house jointly occupied by Messrs. Adamson, Bell & Co., Messrs. W. G. Humphreys and Co., and the Chinese Insurance Co. had an elaborate design carried out in lanterns. On the top floor was the word \"Victoria,\" each letter occupying one arch, with a frame of coloured lanterns. On the second floor was \"Regina,\" with the end arches filled in with a cross, and on the ground floor were the figures \"1837-1887.” Messrs. Heuermann, Herbst and Co. had the British and German flags flying from the top floor with the red and white ensigns and the Union Jack hung together in the centre, and the arches of the building filled in with lanterns. Lock Hing had a fine show of expensive Japanese lanterns on the front of his house, and strings of lanterns from a flagstaff at the top.\n\nMessrs. Kruse and Co. illuminated their building with lanterns of various descriptions, and on the first floor had large ones with \"V. R.\" and ensigns painted on them. The hong of Mr. A. R. Marty, the ground floor of which is occupied by the store of Gaieu Frères, had the arches of the first and second floor outlined with small colored glass lamps, with clusters of the same hanging from the centre of each. There was also a wedge-shaped transparency projecting into the street with \"V. R.\" on each face, and the building had flags running up at each side. Atack's store was illuminated with lanterns with the Union Jack painted on them.\n\nTurning back along Queen's-road to the westward, passing the houses already described, we arrive at the Clock Tower, the central point and most striking feature of the illuminations, being conspicuous at once for the beauty and boldness of the design on which it was treated. The whole of the four sides were covered with small glass lamps, with paper lanterns running down the corners, and a little relief work at the top. Craning the neck upwards for a close view gave little idea of the splendid effect when the Tower was seen from a distance, either from the water or from the higher levels. One is tempted to regret that such a thing of beauty should have to fade so soon into its natural sombreness and resume its position as the antithesis of \"a joy for ever.\" The design for this illumination was by the Surveyor-General, and it was carried out by Mr. Andrew Millar. The Post Office had a gas 4-feet crown with two \"V. Rs.\" in monogram, two Masonic stars, and the building outlined above the first cornice with jets. Both on the front and the Pedder's-street side there were a large number of cylindrical lamps of various colours closely packed along the horizontal lines of the building. The Supreme Court also had gas illuminations-the Scales of Justice as the centre piece with a 24 feet star above and “V. R.\" in monogram on either side, and the side pillars and top cornices outlined with jets. The Hongkong Club, on the opposite side of the road, had a 9 ft. star and two 2 ft. stars in gas, with red and white lanterns outlining the building, and large lanterns hung along the verandah.\n\nMr. Humphreys had devoted great attention to the illumination of the Hongkong Dispensary, which looked remarkably well with its numerous transparencies. In the centre of the first floor verandah was a pagoda, the other openings on each side being filled up with large portraits of Her Majesty in youth and in 1887, painted by a Canton artist from engravings; On the top storey were great masses of ordinary sized Japanese lanterns, and on ground floor were lanterns with transparencies at the doorway. The d'Aguilar-street and Stanley-street frontages were decorated with lanterns in rows. Ching Choong's cigar store, next door to the Dispensary in Queen's-road, had an effective display of transparencies and lanterns, and Tarachand Thawardas & Co.'s Indian store was decorated with small oil lamps. Wassiamull Assumall's curio shop was illuminated with Japanese lanterns and a large number of small coloured lamps. Achoo's cigar store had also a good display of lanterns. Messrs. W. Powell and Co., occupying the Victoria Exchange jointly with Messrs. McEwen, Frickel and Co., had filled in the upper verandah with an elaborate design of which the centre piece was a portrait of Her Majesty. The verandah railing was covered with foliage on which were shields, \"England's Queen\" on one and \"India's Empress\" on the other. There was also a trophy of flags, and a number of lanterns. On the ground floor there were lanterns with the various ensigns painted on them. Messrs. N. Mody and Co.'s illumination attracted general admiration. Along the arches of the verandah in bold letters ran the scroll \"God bless our Empress\" worked in small gold coloured oil lamps on white ground. There was also a small portrait of the Queen and stars. On the floor above was a crown with the letters \"V. R.\", and lanterns hung between the pillars of the verandah. Over the entrance on the ground floor was a star of coloured oil lamps, and the gate was covered with foliage. Messrs. Gaupp & Co.'s store, under Messrs. N. Mody & Co.'s offices, had lanterns hung round the arches of the verandah with the Union Jack painted on them. Yee Chun, Loong Shing, Cheong Wo, and Ahoy, occupying adjoining shops, all contributed to the general display. Messrs. Falconer and Co.'s establishment, part of which is occupied on the upper floors by the China Traders' Insurance Company and the North China Insurance Company, had long rows of lanterns with the Union Jack painted on them, running along the top cornice and the verandahs, and up the sides. Messrs. Fournier and Co. had the arches of their verandah hung with lanterns.\n\nPage 540\nPage 541",

        "content_text": "96\n\nSun Shing had clusters of lanterns hanging in the arches, and the Medical Hall had strings of lanterns. The Pacific Mail Company's office was tastefully decorated with rows of lanterns, with the American flag and the Union Jack floating at each end, and small flags of the two nations crossed in the centre. Crossing over the street and proceeding eastwards, passing the Victoria Hotel, already described, we come to Messrs. Turner and Co.'s hong, where there was a pretty arrangement of Chinese lanterns. The China Fire Insurance Company had banners hanging from each window, and \"God bless our Queen\" worked in small oil lamps in front of the verandah. Acbee's furniture store had small coloured oil lamps along the balustrading of the verandah, and strings of Japanese lanterns. Messrs. Framjee Hormusjee & Co. had large clusters of coloured lamps hanging in each of the verandah arches, five on each floor, with stars of small coloured oil lamps on the pillars of the upper floor with spear heads of the same description of lamps on the end pillars, the whole forming a very beautiful display. Rose and Co. had a row of lanterns in front and Messrs. Wotton and Deacon a double row. Messrs. Lane, Crawford and Co.'s premises were tastefully decorated with two \"V. Rs.\" worked in flowers on the top of the porch, lanterns hanging in the porchway underneath, and clusters of lamps on the pediments.\n\nWestward of Pottinger-street one of the most striking illuminations was that of the Stag Hotel, which had a gilt framed oil painting of Her Majesty, with lamps round the arches of the verandahs of all four storeys, and a good display of lanterns on the side of the house. The Man On Insurance Co. also had an effective display, a large number of lanterns being used, many of them of unusual patterns. The Ko Shing Theatre had a \"V. R.\" in glass transparency over the door and the year \"1887.\" Lai Hing and Co. had a gaudy illumination, \"1887\" in the middle with the \"V\" on one side and \"R\" on the other. Other houses illuminated were The Land We Live In tavern, the Rose, Shamrock, and Thistle, the London Hotel, W. Peterson's boarding house, the German Tavern, and the Grand Hotel. The Fire Brigade Station had on the front face of the tower a design in small oil lamps - \"1837-1887\" in the middle, with the \"V\" and \"R\" on the right and left respectively. The Queen's-road side of the building had coloured lanterns. On Chinese establishments which had lit up we read the names of Ses Woo, tailor, Wang Hing, jeweller, Wing Hing, dealer in porcelain, Yu Chong, also dealer in porcelain, Tang Cheong, tailor, Kum Kee, Chinese shipping agent, E. Sing, printer, Fuk On, \"Agent in Sailors and Fireman,\" Yip Sang, dealer in curios, Woo Choong, compradore, Hung Shing, curio dealer, King Wo Shing, Him Wo, Ah Nam, tailor, Yee On, tailor, Yen Sing, curio dealer, Nam Hing Loong, compradore, Achan, photographer, Nam Shing, tailor, Yong Heng, dealer in Chinese goods, Aping, tailor, Ahing, tailor, Song Yuen, photographer, Sun Shing, curio dealer, whose show was considerably above the average; Wah Loong, dealer in Chinese goods, who also made a good show; Fung Hing, tailor, Teen Seng, printer, Seng Yuen, portrait painter, and Sam Hing Street, who had quite a brilliant display. Our enumeration, however, gives the names of only a small fraction of those who took part in the illumination and includes none of the large native hongs who have not their name in English on their signboard. The Chinese participation in the illumination as regards shops and houses, was very general, and in almost every street the Kai fong had done something in the way of erecting arches or sheds for the numerous entertainments and exhibitions of marionettes.\n\nGoing up Ice House Street, we noticed a square of white lanterns at the top of the Ice House, and at Afong's studio lanterns in clusters. Both Messrs. Gibb, Livingston and Co.'s and Messrs. Carlowitz and Co.'s hongs were brilliantly illuminated with rows of lanterns, and looking down Duddell-street steps the illuminations of the same houses on their other side were seen, as were the lanterns which lighted up the front of Messrs. Reiss & Co.'s premises. A fine gas illumination at Messrs. Noronha and Co's, in Zetland street, also showed up well from this neighbourhood. The design was \"Q. V., star, R. I.\" with the figures \"50\" beneath. The Masonic Hall had the square and compasses on its northern face, and the Masonic Club a similar design in red and white framed in blue lamps on the north, and on the south side the monogram V. R. in red lanterns above the entrance. Going along Albert-road the Public Offices were found in darkness, but the top of St. John's Cathedral tower was illuminated with blue lanterns and formed a conspicuous object from many points of view. St. John's Place was almost covered with lanterns, chiefly white and red, which had a most effective appearance standing out from the surrounding darkness from the few points from which they were visible.\n\nGovernment House had on its northern face the motto \"Domine salvam fac Reginam,\" illuminated by gas in globes in 4ft. letters; a 6ft. crown, two 7ft. stars, \"V. R.,\" two masonic stars, a half star of 10ft. diameter in the centre of the top cornice, two half-stars at the corners of the cornice, and a line of jets up the sides and along the top cornice; the effect of all this light artistically arranged was very fine. The other side of Government House was not illuminated, but the roadway, with numerous lanterns dotted about in the trees and on the bank of the Public Gardens and the small oil lamps running along the walls, was like a picture in fairy land. The entrance to Government House was decorated for day effect with imposing shields and trophies of flags. The Royal Artillery Mess in College Gardens was well lit up with lanterns and had a device springing from the roof.\n\nIn Stanley-street Messrs. Rozario and Co. had a gas illumination showing \"R. & Co.\" and the Oriental Dispensary, and Messrs. Dunn, Melbye & Co.'s and Mr. Brandt's establishments were illuminated with lanterns. In D'Aguilar-street Messrs. Gilman and Co. had a transparency over the door with the name of the firm and a large mass of lanterns. Messrs. Grossman and Co.'s hong was also lit up with lanterns, and amongst the occupants of Club Chambers on the opposite side of the street lanterns were hung out in profusion by Messrs. Justus Lembke & Co., Mr. Naudin, the Telephone Exchange, and the Punjom Mining Co. Messrs. Guedes and Co., at the corner of Wellington-street, had red and white lanterns on the top floor. Messrs. D. D. Oflia and Co. had lanterns arranged in the arches of the verandah and in lines below, and Mrs. Heymans, dressmaker, hung out the red ensign grouped with two French flags in the centre, and lanterns along the verandah. A large proportion of the Chinese in this street had also illuminated, amongst them Kwong Shing, contractor, Bing Shing, bootmaker, Chan Hang, printer, Yee Hing, contractor, Ling Atin, contractor, Wah Suo, picture frame maker, Hung Qua, portrait painter, who showed a specimen of his skill in a portrait of the Queen; Pow Chin, contractor, Sang Cheong, and Chee Sing, printer.\n\nIn Lower Wyndham Street the Club Germania was very tastefully illuminated with Japanese lanterns. The entrance was lined out in red and white lanterns, with one bearing the Union Jack in the centre and at the doorway the German and British flags were draped. Above was the red ensign with the German flag on each side. The remainder of the building was covered with white lanterns. The opposite buildings, occupied by Messrs. Raedecker & Co. and the China Mail, showed strings of coloured lanterns on the verandah of the upper storey, and many of the houses further up the hill were similarly decorated, one Chinese house occupied by Europeans, however, having flags and lamps stretching far across the road. The parapet of the tower of St. Paul's College was fringed with coloured lanterns, and from the summit rose a lofty cross formed by white Japanese lanterns, which from its commanding altitude was very conspicuous. Darkness reigned at the corner of D'Aguilar-street, but a very showy and well-designed arch was erected to form the entrance to Glenealy.\n\nThis was of imperial yellow picked out with leaf decorations and with green pediments. Over the archway were the words in scarlet on a blue ground \"Salve Imperatricem,\" and the face of the structure was ornamented with gilt stars and the arms of the three kingdoms on shields. Numerous coloured lanterns were suspended, and when illuminated it proved exceedingly effective. The road up Glenealy was lined throughout with various coloured lanterns, and the rockery in the centre half way up was covered with a pyramidal structure of lanterns. Mr. Bottomley's house and grounds at the foot of Glenealy were most tastefully lit up with lanterns and little glass lamps; the latter glittering among the trees had a very charming effect. Upper Wyndham Street and Hollywood Road were partially illuminated, but without any general design. Messrs. B. Mijran & Co., S. J. David & Co., Messrs. Kaw Hong Take & Co., and Messrs. Mirza Ebrahim & Co. were among the most brilliant, and further on several Parsee firms, Messrs. B. N. Mehta & Co., Tata & Co., Mehta & Co., and others, had quite a large display of lanterns in various designs.\n\n535\n\n9.",

That decision has naturally added to the difficulty of the situation, and a voluminous correspondence has taken place between the British and French Governments arising out of the conflicts which have occurred at Hongkong, Singapore and Ceylon between the judicial authorities and the Messageries Maritimes. Indeed Her Majesty's Government would have been compelled to determine the Postal Convention with France by notice under Art. 37 were it not that the more recent instructions which appear to have been given to the Commanders of the French Postal steamers have prevented a renewal of the complaints of the Colonial Governments.\n\nIn view of the decision of the Courts in this Country in the case of the Parlement Belge it is clear that Her Majesty's Government are unable to secure to Postal vessels that complete immunity from the process of the local Courts which is the privilege of Ships-of-war, but if the Imperial Government are prepared to cause instructions to be issued to the Imperial Consular Officers and to the Commanders of the North German Lloyd's steamers and to the Agents of the Company in all British ports of call to give all necessary facilities to the local authorities in relation to Customs Regulations and to judicial process and not to claim to exercise the privilege in question to the detriment of public justice or of public rights, it is unlikely that any practical difficulties will arise.\n\nHer Majesty's Government are therefore prepared on that understanding to signify to the Governors of the Colonies at which the steamers of the North German Lloyds are intended to touch that the line is subsidized by the Imperial Government for Postal purposes and that it is the wish of Her Majesty's Government that the privileges mentioned in Art. V of the Postal Convention with France September 24th, 1856, should be extended to its vessels as long as the French Convention shall remain in force.\n\nIt is right however to add that both the French and Belgian Conventions may be determined at any time owing to the difficulties which I have pointed out and to the fact that as the British Mail steamers on the lines to India, China and Australia only touch at British ports they practically derive no benefit from the Article in question, while the other provisions of the Conventions have for the most part been abrogated by the Postal Union Treaty of Bern of October 8th, 1874, and by the Convention of Paris (the Universal Postal Union) of June 1st, 1878.\n\n(Signed)  \nROSEBERY.\n\nHis Excellency COUNT HATZFELDT,  \n&c., &c., &c.\n\n[31st August, 1889.]\n\n## APPENDIX IV.\n\n### French Mail Steamers.\n\n**No. 18 of 1888.**\n\nAn Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, entitled **The French Mail Steamers Ordinance Continuation Ordinance, 1888**.\n\nG.

        "content_text": "# 6. Your Petitioners most humbly represent to your Majesty that the successful conduct of their commercial operations depends in these days, very largely, on telegraphic communication, and that it is essential that that communication be regular, effective and cheap, and that as many different lines of communication be opened and kept open as possible.\n\nYour Petitioners are now in communication with Europe by means of two separate telegraphic lines, one in the hands of \"The Eastern Telegraph Company\" and \"The Eastern Extension Australian and China Telegraph Company Limited,\" starting from Shanghai in the Empire of China and passing South by Foochow, Hongkong, Saigon and Singapore to Australia and British India; the other, under the management of a Danish Corporation, \"The Great Northern Telegraph Company,\" going North from Hongkong via Amoy, Shanghai, Nagasaki (in Japan) and Vladivostock (in Siberia). Your Petitioners can only communicate with America, by telegraph, through Europe.\n\n## 7. Your Petitioners have not derived from the existence of these two separate and independent lines of telegraphic communication all the advantages that they ought to have obtained, because since the year 1875, or thereabouts, the above-mentioned companies have, to the great injury of trade, been working in combination, and have by agreement between themselves established and maintained a rate of two dollars or over six shillings a word between Hongkong and Europe, and a proportionately higher rate from other ports and places in China and Japan, and have refused to reduce that rate, in spite of the vast increase in the number of messages transmitted over their lines, and of the many improvements in the means of sending and recording messages and in telegraphy generally.\n\n## 8. For many years past Your Petitioners have anticipated important and valuable additions to their means of telegraphic communication with Europe, by the completion and opening of lines in the lands of the Chinese Government connecting all parts of the Chinese Empire with each other and with the lines of the Russian Government at Kiachta on the north-western frontier of China, and through them with the general European system, and by the entrance of China into the Union created by the International Telegraphic Convention of the Tenth of July 1875.\n\nYour Petitioners are also looking forward to the early connection of the Chinese lines with the British Indian System through Burmah, and to the possibility of a cable from San Francisco or from Your Majesty's Colony of Vancouver, and seeking a landing place on the shores of the Chinese Empire.\n\n## 9. The connection of the Chinese lines with the lines of the Russian Government at Kiachta, would open for your Petitioners the most direct line with Europe, and the cheapest. Telegraphic Rates on the Russian Lines are phenomenally low, and the Chinese lines, wherever they come into competition with the lines of the existing cable companies, as in the south through Annam and Tonking in connection with the French lines, charge less than one half the rate per word now charged over the same distances by the Great Northern and Eastern Extension Companies.\n\n## 10. Your Petitioners are well assured that if the Chinese lines are connected with those of the Russian Government at Kiachta and are thrown freely open to the public, unhampered by any secret Convention or Agreement with the competing companies already named, the cost of a telegram to Europe from China or Japan would be at once considerably reduced, to the immense gain of your Majesty's subjects, to the great advantage of British Trade in the East, and to the profit and advantage of Your Majesty's friend and ally the Emperor of China and his subjects.\n\n## 11. But, unfortunately, as Your Majesty and Your Majesty's Ministers are aware, a Convention between the Chinese Government, the Great Northern Telegraph Company and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company has been entered into and signed as far back as August 1887, by which the Chinese Government bound itself, subject to the approval of Your Majesty's Government and of the Imperial Government of Russia, to charge, over its lines to Kiachta, a fixed sum of $2 per word on all messages to Europe, and not except with the consent of the Companies to reduce or alter that rate. The Chinese Government further bound itself to maintain that rate until the year 1903, and to apply it over any line whatever that might in the meanwhile be opened, whether through British Burmah, with India and Europe or through America, by any cable that may be laid.\n\n## 12. That Convention has not yet been made public, and Your Petitioners speak with all deference when they submit to Your Majesty, that that Convention is publicly stated and believed to contain a provision establishing a differential rate largely in favour of Russian subjects in China, sending messages over the Chinese lines to Europe, and therefore in violation of the provisions of existing Treaties securing for Your Majesty's subjects in China rights and privileges equal to those granted to the subjects of any other nation.\n\nIt is further stated and believed publicly that the said Convention secures to the existing Companies, the Great Northern, and the Eastern Extension, the monopoly of all messages despatched from Shanghai, Amoy, Foochow and Hongkong, by far the larger and more important portion of the traffic and that in which Your Majesty's subjects are most largely interested.\n\n## 13. If the Chinese lines, when completed, were thrown open freely to the public unhampered by this or any similar convention, the greater portion of the traffic from the above-named ports would flow naturally to the Chinese lines as the most direct, to the very great gain of the Chinese Government.\n\n## 14. Your Petitioners most humbly thank Your Majesty for having refused assent to the Convention and to any modification of it, and for Your Majesty's most gracious assurance, through Your Ministers in the Commons House of Parliament, that no consent will be given to the Convention without full consideration of all the interests involved and without consultation with the representatives of British Commerce.\n\n## 15. Your Petitioners most respectfully represent to Your Majesty that the ratification of the Convention of the 10th August 1887, between the Chinese Government and the Companies hereinbefore mentioned, would be a serious injury to the future of Telegraphic Communication in China and throughout the world, would seriously hamper trade and especially the trade of Your Majesty's subjects in the East, and would be, they humbly conceive and represent, in breach, if not of the precise words, certainly of the spirit of the International Telegraphic Convention entered into by Your Most Gracious Majesty at St. Petersburgh the 10/22 of July 1875, and especially of clause 10 of that convention.\n\n464",

        "content_text": "6. Your Petitioners most humbly represent to your Majesty that the successful conduct of their commercial operations depends in these days, very largely, on tele-graphic communication, and that it is essential that that communication be regular, effective and cheap, and that as many different lines of communication be opened and kept open as possible.\"\n\nYour Petitioners are now in communication with Europe by means of two separate telegraphic lines, one in the hands of \"The Eastern Telegraph Company\" and \"The Eastern Extension Australian and China Telegraph Company Limited,\" starting from Shanghai in the Empire of China and passing South by Foochow, Hongkong, Saigon and Singapore to Australia and British India; the other, under the management of a Danish Corporation, \"The Great Northern Telegraph Company,\" going North from Hongkong via Amoy, Shanghai, Nagasaki (in Japan) and Vladivostock (in Siberia).\n\nYour Petitioners can only communicate with America, by telegraph, through Europe.\n\n7. Your Petitioners have not derived from the existence of these two separate and independent lines of telegraphic communication all the advantages that they ought to have obtained, because since the year 1875, or thereabouts, the above-mentioned companies have, to the great injury of trade, been working in combination, and have by agreement between themselves established and maintained a rate of two dollars or over six shillings a word between Hongkong and Europe, and a proportionately higher rate from other ports and places in China and Japan, and have refused to reduce that rate, in spite of the vast increase in the number of messages transmitted over their lines, and of the many improvements in the means of sending and recording messages and in telegraphy generally.\n\n8. For many years past Your Petitioners have anticipated important and valuable additions to their means of telegraphic communication with Europe, by the completion and opening of lines in the hands of the Chinese Government connecting all parts of the Chinese Empire with each other and with the lines of the Russian Government at Kiachta on the north-western frontier of China, and through them with the general European system, and by the entrance of China into the Union created by the International Telegraphic Convention of the Tenth of July 1875.\n\nYour Petitioners are also looking forward to the early connection of the Chinese lines with the British Indian System through Burmah, and to the possibility of a cable from San Francisco or from Your Majesty's Colony of Vancouver, and seeking a landing place on the shores of the Chinese Empire.\n\n9. The connection of the Chinese lines with the lines of the Russian Government at Kiachta, would open for your Petitioners the most direct line with Europe, and the cheapest. Telegraphic Rates on the Russian Lines are phenomenally low, and the Chinese lines, wherever they come into competition with the lines of the existing cable companies, as in the south through Annam and Tonking in connection with the French lines, charge less than one half the rate per word now charged over the same distances by the Great Northern and Eastern Extension Companies.\n\n10. Your Petitioners are well assured that if the Chinese lines are connected with those of the Russian Government at Kiachta and are thrown freely open to the public, unhampered by any secret Convention or Agreement with the competing companies already named, the cost of a telegram to Europe from China or Japan would be at once considerably reduced, to the immense gain of your Majesty's subjects, to the great advantage of British Trade in the East, and to the profit and advantage of Your Majesty's friend and ally the Emperor of China and his subjects.\n\n11. But, unfortunately, as Your Majesty and Your Majesty's Ministers are aware, a Convention between the Chinese Government, the Great Northern Telegraph Company and the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company has been entered into and signed as far back as August 1887, by which the Chinese Government bound itself, subject to the approval of Your Majesty's Government and of the Imperial Government of Russia, to charge, over its lines to Kiachta, a fixed sum of $2 per word on all messages to Europe, and not except with the consent of the Companies to reduce or alter that rate. The Chinese Government further bound itself to maintain that rate until the year 1903, and to apply it over any line whatever that might in the meanwhile be opened, whether through British Burmah, with India and Europe or through America, by any cable that may be laid.\n\n12. That Convention has not yet been made public, and Your Petitioners speak with all deference when they submit to Your Majesty, that that Convention is publicly stated and believed to contain a provision establishing a differential rate largely in favour of Russian subjects in China, sending messages over the Chinese lines to Europe, and therefore in violation of the provisions of existing Treaties securing for Your Majesty's subjects in China rights and privileges equal to those granted to the subjects of any other nation.\n\nIt is further stated and believed publicly that the said Convention secures to the existing Companies, the Great Northern, and the Eastern Extension, the monopoly of all messages despatched from Shanghai, Amoy, Foochow and Hongkong, by far the larger and more important portion of the traffic and that in which Your Majesty's subjects are most largely interested.\n\n13. If the Chinese lines, when completed, were thrown open freely to the public unhampered by this or any similar convention, the greater portion of the traffic from the above-named ports would flow naturally to the Chinese lines as the most direct, to the very great gain of the Chinese Government.\n\n14. Your Petitioners most humbly thank Your Majesty for having refused your assent to the Convention and to any modification of it, and for Your Majesty's most gracious assurance, through Your Ministers in the Commons House of Parliament, that no consent will be given to the Convention without full consideration of all the interests involved and without consultation with the representatives of British Commerce.\n\n15. Your Petitioners most respectfully represent to Your Majesty that the ratification of the Convention of the 10th August 1887, between the Chinese Government and the Companies hereinbefore mentioned, would be a serious injury to the future of Telegraphic Communication in China and throughout the world, would seriously hamper trade and especially the trade of Your Majesty's subjects in the East, and would be, they humbly conceive and represent, in breach, if not of the precise words, certainly of the spirit of the International Telegraphic Convention entered into by Your Most Gracious Majesty at St. Petersburgh the 10/22 of July 1875, and especially of clause 19 of that convention.\n\n169",

We also express our deep sympathy with the families of the deceased and with those who were wounded, whom we wish a happy issue out of all their troubles and sickness. (Long continued applause amidst which the speaker resumed his seat.) A cordial vote of thanks to the Chairman, and the same compliment to the Secretary, Mr. Duncan, and the Acting Treasurer, Mr. Bathurst, brought the meeting to a close.\n\nThe annual report of the Association (for 1890) was laid on the table.— \"Hongkong Telegraph\" 5th January, 1891.\n\n## ANNUAL REPORT\n\nOF THE\n\n**BRITISH MERCANTILE MARINE OFFICERS' ASSOCIATION**, 1890.\n\nThe first meeting of marine officers held with a view to devising ways and means of starting a Mercantile Marine Officers' Association in this colony was at the Sailors' Home on the evening of the 17th May, 1890. Eleven officers were present as well as the present hon. Secretary. A resolution was passed at that meeting by which it was decided to call a mass meeting of British officers on the 20th May. Accordingly, those present on the 17th canvassed the whole of the shipping in port, and on the 20th over twenty officers assembled at the Victoria Hotel at 9 p.m., when it was resolved:---\n\n1.---That an Association styled the **\"British Mercantile Marine Officers' Association\"** be formed forthwith.\n\n2.-That the objects of the body shall be:--\n\n| Object | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| I | For the purpose of counteracting influences that are, and for a very long time have been, acting against the interests of officers of the British Mercantile Marine. |\n| II | To watch over and guard the interests of its members. |\n| III | To maintain the proper dignity of the profession. |\n\nIt was also decided:-(1). To admit none but British subjects as members of the association. (2). That the Press should be admitted to all ordinary meetings. (3). That the entrance fee should be $5, and the monthly subscription $1 each. (4). That members of kindred bodies be admitted to membership upon payment of half the entrance fee.\n\nAt a meeting held on the 2nd of June at the same hotel, a set of temporary rules, based upon those of the Australian Association, were adopted with certain modifications. The meeting was a large and representative one, and the members of the Press, who were present, published reports of the proceedings the next day. A discussion ensued on the subject of the selection of a suitable President, and it was unanimously decided to ask Capt. Samuel Ashton, Commodore of the local Douglas Line, to do us the honour of becoming President. Captain Ashton accepted the presidency when approached on the subject. His acceptance was made known at a meeting held on the 24th of the same month, and the announcement was greeted with much applause. A letter was forwarded to the President couched in respectful terms, thanking him for his kindness in not only becoming the leader of the body but also a member.\n\nDuring the months of June and July, the much-vexed question of the right of foreigners to wholesale employment in British ships was frequently discussed, as also the necessity for a world-wide union of British officers, and resolutions strongly condemning the one and approving of the other were carried unanimously. This was followed by the Secretary being desired to open up negotiations with the English, Australian, and Shanghai Associations, with a view to the conclusion of treaties of amity with them. He was also instructed to make certain representations to Government on the subject of the employment of foreigners on board British ships. The Secretary duly performed the duties assigned to him.\n\nIn the month of August, the subject of the constitution of Local Marine Boards was discussed at length, and resulted in the passing of a resolution condemning the action of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach in causing able seamen to be admitted as members of Local Marine Boards. It was during the latter part of this month that telegraphic advices were received relative to the Australian strike. We were of opinion that the action taken by the officers in the Antipodes was premature, and that their alliance with trades-unions was a very ill-advised step, calculated to bring disgrace upon the profession and ruin to the strikers. That our opinions were well founded, the failure of the strike, or rather its virtual failure, owing to the stubborn resistance of shipowners and employers generally, added to the wavering of many of the officers (by latest advices from the colonies) proves conclusively.\n\nOn the 14th of August, the President, in accordance with the special invitation of the Association, took the chair at a meeting held at the Marine Hotel, and delivered his inaugural address. He was greeted with hearty applause, and his speech, which lasted for fully an hour, was frequently interrupted by loud manifestations of approval and concurrence in the opinions expressed. Representatives of the Press were present, and they published full reports of the proceedings the next day.\n\nOn the 25th of the same month, the Committee was duly elected by ballot.\n\nOn the 6th of September, the President again delivered an address in which he discussed the subject of unnecessary labour on board ships in the waters of this colony on Sundays. The speaker dealt with the subject in a telling manner, both from religious and secular points of view, and, as on the occasion of the inaugural address, the speech was continually interrupted with hearty applause. The representatives of the Press were present and published full reports of the speech, and took the matter up in their journals. The Press supported the movement, and the gratitude of the Association is due to them for their recognition and support, which it is earnestly hoped will be vouchsafed to us in the future.\n\nWe freely acknowledge the power of the Press, for we know it is one of the greatest safeguards of the liberty of the subject.\n\nOn the 19th of the month (September), resolutions were passed to the following effect:--\n\n| Resolution | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | \"That in view of the fact that the sum and substance of official and public opinion, generally, is to the effect that the cessation of labour on board ships on Sunday, in Hongkong, can only be effected by the Chamber of Commerce moving the Government in the matter, this Association decides that special representations should be made to the Chamber of Commerce with a view to the holding of a conference between delegates of this Association and the Chairman of the said Chamber.\" |\n| (2) | The Chamber of Commerce consenting to the conference, this Association be represented by the President, Captain Ashton, and two or three members to be selected by the Committee.\" |\n\nThe Chamber consented to receive a deputation on the 17th of October. Accordingly, at 4 p.m. that day, Captain Ashton, eight members, and the hon. Secretary, accompanied by the representatives of the English and Chinese Press, met the Committee of the Chamber in public conference at the City Hall, when the subject was discussed at length and taken down in shorthand by the Press representatives—the Hongkong Telegraph, Daily Press, China Mail, and Wai Sun Yat Po. Subsequently, full reports of the proceedings, together with the definite reply of the Chamber, were forwarded to the Liverpool Association and other influential friends, with a request that they should place the subject before the British public with all haste and in all earnestness.\n\nThe reply of the Chamber of Commerce, above referred to, caused great indignation to the whole body of Mercantile Marine Officers, and they decided to petition the Acting Governor to receive a deputation. Accordingly, the necessary despatch was written, and resulted in a most courteous reply in which his Excellency graciously fixed the date for receiving a deputation at Government House.\n\n## Page 45\n\n... \n\n## Page 169",

The points of Junction shall be as follows:----\n\n1.-The Chinese telegraph office at Hunchun shall connect with the Russian telegraph office at Passiette [?]. 2.-The Chinese telegraph office at Helampo shall connect with the Russian office at Blagowestchensk.\n\n3. The Chinese line about to be constructed to Kiatcha shall connect with the Russian office at Kiatcha. Should there be places where the Chinese and Russian lines are in close proximity, connection will be established if it seems advantageous to both countries.\n\n3-The Hunchun and Passiette [?] connection will be made immediately after the treaty [is ratified]. The Helampo and Blagowestchensk connection will be made as soon as the cable has been laid, but in any case the delay may not exceed six months after the signing of this treaty. The Kiatcha connection will be made as soon as China shall have constructed the line from Peking to Kiatcha; but in any case not later than five years after the signing of this treaty.\n\n4. The telegraphs above referred to shall be erected and maintained by each country's administration within its own borders, and neither shall encroach as much as an inch within the territory of the other. As regards the cable beneath the Amur for the junction at Helampo-Blagowestchensk, the cost shall be borne by the two telegraph administrations, and the cable shall be the property of both countries.\n\n5.--In all matters referring to telegraphing and the receipt and despatch of messages, the rules of the Telegraph Union shall be observed, and the rules now in force regarding messages sent by cable between China and Russia, shall equally apply to messages transmitted by the land-lines. Messages on telegraphic business shall be transmitted free of charge. As regards the transmission of messages sent over the lines as referred to in Art. 2 of this treaty, the Chinese and Russian administrations will each make its own arrangements in such a way that at all times messages shall be sent off as soon as they are received.\n\n6.-China and Russia each having its own lines to the frontier, each country fixes its own tariff, and during the time this treaty is in force the rates agreed to in Art. 7 may not be altered without the consent of both Powers. The two countries further agree, in accordance with the rules of the Telegraphic Union, that should hereafter either land-lines or cables give communication with Foreign countries\n\nC.

Headquarters on the 25th. The weather was fine, and though there was a cold wind blowing from the N.West, the landing place was quite sheltered.\n\nThe roads towards Wei hai wei are mere tracks, that along the sea coast is fairly level, but the more southern one leads up and down over the lower spurs of the range of hills to the south. In many places the roads were very slippery with ice, and one had to move along very carefully and slowly. An attempt had been made to rough the ponies' shoes, but the iron was too soft to be of any good, and wore completely away in a day's ride.\n\nThe cold North West wind and occasional snow-storms made the march very unpleasant at times.\n\nSlight skirmishes occurred on the 24th, 25th and 27th January, but the Chinese made no real resistance, and there were hardly any casualties. The Chinese force was said to be 1500 strong, and they attacked the advanced troops covering the working parties who were engaged in repairing the road.\n\nThe villages in this part of the country are all small, the houses are well built, generally with stone walls and thatched roofs, in regular rows, but they are if possible more filthy inside and out than those about Port Arthur and Talienwan. There are plenty of trees in the valleys, round the villages, and on some of the hill slopes, but they are small. It looks as though an attempt had been made to replant the country in places as there are young trees growing in regular rows. Most of the houses have stores of grain millet, Indian corn, Bajera, small beans, etc, and outside are stacks of straw and hay and dried branches with the leaves on for fuel. There are also plenty of sweet potatoes, which are sometimes inside the houses and sometimes buried in earth mounds outside, and we have also found a sort of turnip and pumpkin and onion which make good additions to our rice and beef. The troops are able to get fresh beef about twice a week at present. The water seems to be good where it is not polluted, but Japanese sanitary notions are beneath contempt, only equalled for badness, I should think, by the Chinese.",

These buoys, beacons and lights are maintained for the benefit of the Colony and the profit of its inhabitants, and to attract trade and commerce thither, and the inhabitants not only have not borne one cent of the expenses of their construction or maintenance but it is now proposed that they should derive a direct profit from them.\n\n5. We very much doubt if in any highly civilized country has a deliberate attempt ever been made to raise a profit revenue out of Light Dues. They have always been imposed for the express purpose of providing for the construction and maintenance of Lighthouses, Buoys and Beacons and for no other purpose whatsoever. It has happened that in the course of time the precise object for which a light due has been imposed has been lost sight of and that a profit revenue has in fact been derived from it, but so soon as attention has been called to the fact there has been an express disclaimer and a reduction or abolition of the charge. In the Dardanelles and Bosphorus such a discovery was recently made, and the representatives of all the Powers are pressing the Porte for a reduction of the dues to an amount sufficient to cover the expenses. In England a Departmental Committee of the Board of Trade have just reported on the same subject and have unanimously recommended the equalization of all light dues and their diminution to an amount calculated to cover expenses and no more. The strongest representations have been made to the Government to relieve Shipping entirely of this burden and to transfer it to the General Revenue but so far without success; the principle, however, is clearly admitted that the light dues on shipping should not be made a source of profit.\n\n6. We have further to point out to your Excellency that the continuance of these Light Dues as a permanent charge is an injustice to Foreign shipping, and will tend to deter vessels from coming to the port. The Export Trade from the East has for some time past been passing through a period of very great depression. During the greater part of the last twelve months rates from the Straits Settlements averaged from 5/- to 8/- per ton, and from Ceylon about 7/-, and for some descriptions of cargo rates from China and Japan have been as low as 15/-. Interport trade has also been at a very low ebb for some time past and there is no apparent prospect of any improvement in the immediate future. Every item of expenditure has to be closely watched, and a comparatively small difference in the expenditure at a port may determine the course of a vessel's voyage. Steamers coming out to Japan and Shanghai are no longer as formerly compelled to call at Hongkong for coals or stores. The great increases in speed, the diminution in the consumption of coal and greater bunker capacity enable vessels to make the voyage direct to Yokohama or Shanghai without coming into Hongkong. The inducement to call is often very slight. Frequently it is a question, even with a big steamer, of taking in or discharging as little as 100 to 200 tons of cargo. The Light Dues to be paid may make all the difference between a profit and a loss on small quantities of cargo, and may decide the steamer to avoid the port. If she does not call then her expenditure here is entirely lost to the residents, and a permanent injury done to the trade of the Colony.\n\n7. We respectfully protest against this deliberate taxation of shipping frequenting the Port for the benefit of the General Revenue of the Colony. It is entirely opposed to the idea of a Free Port. It is an additional burden with no corresponding advantage whatever upon an already heavily burdened interest. Its tendency is in every doubtful case to drive away from the Port steamers and ships which would otherwise call and necessarily spend money here, by perceptibly increasing their expenses, at a time when every expenditure has to be most minutely considered and weighed. The shipping has already paid more than all the money expended on the Lighthouses and is willing to continue to pay for their proper maintenance. The original charge of a cent per ton is more than enough to cover all the Colonial expenditure that should legitimately fall on steamers and ships frequenting the Port, and we respectfully submit that any further charge is unwarranted and ought not to be levied.\n\n8. We have the honour to request that your Excellency will, before carrying into effect the recommendation of the majority of the Unofficial Members of Council, tendered to your Excellency without any consultation with the principal shipping firms—the persons most interested—to re-impose in another form the special Gap Rock Light Dues, refer this our respectful remonstrance and complaint to the Right Honourable the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n9. If your Excellency should decide to submit the matter for the consideration of the Secretary of State before any change is made we ask your permission to forward copies of this letter to all Chambers of Commerce and to all shipping organisations, and to invite their co-operation with us in representing to Her Majesty's Government the injustice attending the course your Excellency's counsellors have recommended to you.\n\nWe have the honour to be,\n\n(Signed)\n\nYour Excellency's most obedient,\n\nhumble Servants,\n\nH.

Mail matter is not to be forwarded to special points passing the nearest British Agency with the object of establishing a claim to reductions by evading the condition precedent, \"the same line of packets\". The British do practically all the mail carrying for China, except the Japanese in the North. The threat, therefore, \"to seek more favourable terms by other Administrations\" is puerile. Even if it were carried out, the British Postal Revenue would be exactly where it was. It is not a case for coercing the Colony successfully.\n\nThat China should be anxious to enter into partial union is but natural. At present, her postal system, other than domestic, must be a source of heavy loss to her. With the exception of Hong Kong, no administration recognizes her stamps. A letter to America or Australia must have an American or British or other Union 10 cents stamp on it, beside the Chinese 10 cents stamp, to carry it out of the country. China has to pay 10 cents for each Union stamp, so she has carried it, if at all, in China for nothing.\n\nIf we entered into partial union with China, our sale of stamps would fall off heavily, whilst therefore assisting China and salving her amour propre, \"it is necessary to guard against loss to the Colony\".

We have tried many things and you have gone with hand in hand. Now I want you to try this and see if it may or may not succeed. It now remains for me to declare the new wing of the hospital open and I shall presently do so with the earnest hope that dropping like the gentle dew of heaven the beneficial effects of this valuable institution may be felt for many a long year by the Chinese poor among us in the assuagement of their misery who when afflicted with disease will find extended to them that brotherly kindness and pity that are the true bonds of union, and help to make the whole world kin. (Applause)\n\nWith a golden key that was handed to him His Excellency then opened the door of the new hospital which he formally declared open.\n\nThe inscription on the key is: “Presented by the Committee of the Tung Wa Hospital to H.E. Sir Henry A. Blake, G.C.M.G., on the occasion of the opening of the new hospital building. Hongkong, 26th March, 1905,”\n\n## THE NEW BUILDING\n\nThe new building is a very handsome structure, situated opposite the Tung Wa Hospital, of which it will form an extension. It is bounded on its four sides by Station Street, Market Street, Pound Lane and Po Yan Street. The building consists of three blocks on different levels. First there is the administrative block with central hall, doctors' rooms, consulting room and office on the ground floor, and operating room with four private single wards for surgical cases on the upper floor. The operating room is lighted from the roof and is fitted with all the most modern requirements. Downstairs, the central hall is a finely fitted apartment, laid with marble tiles; the walls are done with green-faced brick and there are several beautiful Chinese columns. The second block consists of two 7-bedded wards on the ground floor and two corresponding wards above, making 28 beds in this portion of the building. In the third block there is one large ward of 18 beds on the ground floor and a similar ward on the upper floor. There is thus a total accommodation of 64 beds independently of the surgical wards. In addition to these there are attendants' rooms, hospital kitchens, lavatories, and all the essentials of a complete modern hospital. Communication from one block to another is provided by covered ways. The building itself is of a very substantial nature and does credit to the architects, Messrs. Leigh & Orange. No expense has been spared to make the institution as perfect as modern medical and surgical science can make it; the isolation of the wards and the general arrangements are alike admirable. About $70,000, exclusive of the cost of the site which is part of the Taipingshan resumption and was granted free by the Government, has been spent on the new hospital.\n\n128",

        "content_text": "## \n398 \n\n2 \n\nand Swatow. In Tangkow, in 1902, there were 30 coasting-vessels and 6 river-steamers sailing under the German flag. How important the Chinese service is to the largest shipping concerns, the Hamburg-American and the North German Lloyd lines, is shown by the imposing fleet of vessels in the Chinese service of both these lines. In the trans-oceanic trade with Shanghae, these two Companies maintained, in 1902, 11 Imperial mail-steamers and 23 other steam-ships. In the coasting trade, they had 8 and in the river traffic 6 steam-ships, to which must be added 24 steam-ships of other German Companies in Hankow, all of which are employed in the foreign and coasting trade of Shanghae, the great centre of the Chinese interior trade. The German flag was not represented in carrying freight in 1892; 15 per cent. of the total importations of that city were brought in German ships in 1902. The East Asiatic steam-boat line, subsidized by the Empire, carried 9,812 persons to the East in 1902, and on the homeward trips 10,400. The outward freight carried amounted to 181,936 tons, valued at 55,444,000 dollars, of which 94,769 tons, worth 21,705,600 dollars, went to the Orient. Of these, 64,049 tons, worth 12,709,200 dollars, were German products. In other words, 67.6 per cent. of the total tonnage and 58.5 per cent. of the total value were German. The return freight amounted to 87,167 tons, worth 33,955,000 dollars. Of this, 49,689 tons, valued at 8,330,000 dollars, or 57 per cent. of the total freight and 24.6 per cent. of the total value, were destined for Germany.\n\nThe German Shantung Railroad, between Tsingtau and Tsinan-fu, is finished. Over its tracks are running German locomotives and German cars, both passenger and freight. An exceedingly fine saloon car, formerly on exhibition at Düsseldorf, is used on this line. Up to November 1st, 1902, 22 locomotives, 28 passenger cars, 10 express cars, 218 freight cars, and 245 coal cars were sent out to this road. At the present time, German engineers are busy with the building of a second German railroad in China. Its completion is practically secured through German capital. It is intended to unite Tien-tsin, the great commercial centre of the north, with the Yang-tsze by means of two very valuable branches penetrating still farther into the interior. For carrying out the preliminary work of this road, a combination, known as the German-Chinese Railroad Company, has been formed, with an original capital of 2,350,000 dollars.\n\nThe German Shantung Mining Company is working hand in hand with the Shantung Railroad. It is producing and selling coal which, according to the testimony of experts, is destined to play an important role in the East Asiatic market. It is said to be superior to Japanese coal in heating power and to make less smoke. The market for this coal, both in the interior of Shantung and along the coast, is secured through the arrangement of cheap prices for transportation over the Shantung Railroad. Thus both of these enterprises give promise of profits and look out upon a favourable future. Previous results in the matter of mining give promise to the railroad of the profitable transportation of coal.\n\nA second Mining Company in Tsingtau, the German Society for Mining Industrial Effort Abroad, has begun to mine in five zones in Shantung which have been conceded to it by the Chinese Government. They are working on various kinds of ores, among them gold.\n\nIf we look on the German spheres of interest outside of Shantung, we find in Shanghae, for example, two German Stock Companies, with a working capital of 238,000 dollars. These Companies are engaged in the weaving of silk and cotton goods. There are, in addition, 2,880,000 dollars of German capital engaged in cotton spinning in Shanghae, 1,500,000 dollars in selling silk, 1,500,000 dollars in flour mills, and large amounts in Agricultural Companies, banks, wharves, docks, gas-houses, &c. In numerous other places in China, large sums of German capital have been invested in all kinds of industrial enterprises, although it would be hard to obtain exact figures in regard to them.\n\nStill another picture—the German merchant in China. The old-time distinguished and well-known expert merchant, a man of industry and cleverness, supported by considerable financial means, is to be found in all important places along the coast, and in recent years in places in the interior. Shanghae alone has at least 68 large German firms, whose annual turnover amounts to 28,560,000 dollars, or 22 per cent. of the total turnover of the city of Shanghae. After Shanghae, Tien-tsin is the most germanized city in China. It has 29 large German firms working, with an active capital of 4,552,000 dollars. The Germans' part in the business of that city amounts to 50 per cent. of the total imports and 45 per cent. of the total exports. In Canton, 12 German commercial houses are stationed, doing 50 per cent. of the total import and 75 per cent. of the total export business. Chefoo has 4 German firms, with a capital of 357,000 dollars; Amoy has 3 German firms, with a capital of 71,400 dollars. Of the other Treaty ports, Swatow, Fuchow, and Hankow are domiciles of large German firms. Germany's share in the imports of Hankow is placed at 2,850,000 dollars, and her share in exports at 700,000 dollars to 900,000 dollars.\n\nThe trade with China has made it necessary to establish a German Asiatic Bank, with its principal quarters at Shanghae and branch houses in Tien-tsin, Peking, Hong Kong, Tsingtau, and Hankow. This bank declared dividends in 1902 of 9 per cent., and for this year, there is every prospect for a favourable dividend.\n\nIs China important for its imports of German wares? Germany's foreign trade statistics put China with Macao and Hong Kong and Kiao-chan by themselves. In the year 1902, goods worth 9,020,200 dollars were exported to China, including Macao, from Germany.

Now, would it be too much to say that it indirectly seeks to exalt German interests, by suppressing all comparison with what their rivals have achieved or are accomplishing, and thus throws dust in the eyes of the uninitiated?\n\nThat no stone is being left unturned in order to impress on the native mind a sense of German power, German influence, and German prestige is a matter of common knowledge. And that insidious attempts are constantly being made to undermine our own position in China cannot be denied.\n\nHereof abundant proof can be furnished and innumerable indications cited. The somewhat superfluously exaggerated part played by Germany after the events of 1900; the large sums of money lavished on the fortification and development of Kiaochau; the ostentatious display of the German naval ensign on the Yang-tze, a river on which, except at the one port of Hankow, no German merchants are to be found; the creation of a Consulate at Ich'ang, where there is absolutely no German trade; the persistence with which the matter of the very questionable right to engage in target practice on the Poyang Lake is being fought; the erection at Shanghae of a palatial post-office, quite beyond the needs of any postal service carried on; the strenuous efforts made to collect funds wherewith to build a club which, by its grandeur, is to advertise the German name; the increase of salary and allowances granted to the German Consul-General, in order to enable him to take up a social position higher than that of his colleagues, constitute a bundle of straws, sufficiently indicative of the direction in which the wind is blowing.\n\nGreat Britain enjoyed for so many years such complete commercial supremacy in China that it was only natural that, so soon as her competitors realized the possibilities for trading which this Empire affords, and endeavoured to obtain their legitimate share thereof, she should have been compelled to relinquish a certain proportion of her erstwhile monopoly. To argue from that, however, that her total trade has declined, or that her stake in the country is less than it was before, would be ludicrous.\n\nThe veil of reticence within which the British merchant, as a rule, chooses to shroud his affairs is one which the British official feels a certain amount of delicacy in removing; and it is, therefore, not easy for him to collect the data necessary to traverse the statements of the German compiler of this publication of the Central Union, who has evidently been copiously supplied with figures not usually accessible. Taking, however, such material as is at his disposal, the writer will endeavour to criticize, \"Wherever we turn our eyes on seriatim, the various German contentions put forward. China we find. German effort at work.\" This is not strictly in accordance with fact. German enterprise has not, so far, effectively penetrated north of Hankow, into Ssuch'uan, nor into Yunnan. It does not participate in the handling of China's two most valuable staples of export, silk and tea, which together represent nearly 50 per cent. of the total value of native produce exported. A hybrid firm, which calls itself German or British as for the moment may be most convenient, does, it is true, export a considerable quantity of silk, but to which side of the account is it to be placed? Similarly, of imports there are quite 50 per cent. in which no German can claim a share. To turn to the shipping figures. The statement that the German flag has taken second place in Chinese waters is untrue. For 1903 the percentages are as follows:\n\n| Country | Per cent. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Great Britain | 49.08 |\n| China (including junks under the cognizance of the Imperial Maritime Customs) | 17.30 |\n| Japan | 14.00 |\n| Germany | 12.75 |\n\nThere is not a single merchant-vessel flying the German flag trading on any lake in China. The great part of China's coasting and river trade, carried on under the German flag, amounted, in 1903, to 7.92 per cent. The British proportion was 45.20 per cent. All German Companies put together may have \"no less than twenty-five steam-ships in the regular coasting trade of the Empire\"; one British Company alone has exactly double that number. On the Lower Yang-tsze, between Shanghae and Hankow, five German steamers ply now as in 1902. They are all said to be unprofitable carriers, and the proportion of cargo they obtain is less than 10 per cent. of what one British Company can secure for itself. Recent returns would seem to show that, so far from making any advance, they are actually losing ground. On the Upper Yang-tsze, Hankow-Ich'ang, one German steamer ran, but was lately withdrawn, and is now for sale. The exiguous \"thread of Empire,\" she was engaged in spinning, shrunk by some 20 per cent. in years. It is quite possible that in 1902 the Germans had thirty coasting vessels trading from Hankow, but in 1904 only one German steamer loaded from there coastwise against twenty-eight British. While the British and the Chinese Companies, who control the trade between Hankow and Swatow, were quarrelling with the Swatow Guild, the latter invoked German assistance. Those concerned fought hard to hold their own, but, as they could not grant the facilities required and sustained an admitted loss of 60 per cent. of their capital, they were compelled to quit the field. An equally unsuccessful effort was made to capture a share of the carrying trade between Shanghae and Ningpo.\n\nBritish steamers, in 1904, carried from Swatow to Shanghae and the north, out of 299,000,000 packages, 157,000,000 against 5,000,000 carried by German steamers. Perhaps the most important section of the coasting trade is that to and from Newchuang, and this the Germans hardly touch. They have four steamers running to Chefoo, Tientsin, and Tsingtao, and they naturally receive the support of German firms both upwards and downwards, but the bulk of the trade is in the hands of Chinese, who are strong supporters of the British Companies.\n\nRecently British steamers have been running to Tsingtao, and so formidable is their competition that the Hamburg-Amerika Linie is agitating to have them excluded from that port entirely.\n\nAs regards the coolie traffic from Swatow and Amoy to the Straits and Siam, this is conducted in Chinese-owned steamers or in Dutch and German boats, of which two latter the agency is held by a British firm. It is freely rumoured that the German Companies intend to place twelve new steamers on the China coast, and, if they do so, they will doubtless, by cutting rates, secure a proportion of the trade, but, everything being equal, we have no cause to feel alarmed, as in 1904 the two large British Coasting Companies increased their fleets by ten vessels, and are building more. As has been stated, any movement on the part of German shipping on the coast has been of a retrograde nature, and, in so far as their transoceanic trade is concerned, their finest advertisements, the \"König Albert\" and the \"Hamburg,\" had lately to be withdrawn because they were losing money so heavily.\n\nIn the matter of catering for the large and growing passenger traffic between Europe and the Far East, it is frankly acknowledged that the German Companies have completely outdistanced their competitors, but it would be interesting to learn whether or not they have sought to swell their passenger figures by including therein time-expired men from or reliefs to the Kiaochau garrison.\n\nIn order effectively to criticize the tonnage statistics adduced, one would require to know what proportion of British-owned goods and produce British steamers carried to and fro. As it is, one's only approximate guide is the Customs percentage table of foreign trade, inwards and outwards, carried under each flag, which, however, affords no indication of national ownership. This gives for 1903:\n\n| Country | Per cent. |\n| --- | --- |\n| British | 47.57 |\n| Japanese | 13.38 |\n| German | 11.18 |\n\n(It may incidentally be remarked that, at first sight, the wording of the German statement is misleading. Total tonnage and total value refers not to the whole of China's trade, but to that small portion thereof carried in German steamers.)\n\nThe railway between Tsingtao and Chinan is a piece of work of which the Germans may justly feel proud, and the energy and expedition displayed in carrying it out should serve as a useful object-lesson to British dilatoriness and apathy in this particular field of enterprise. (The writer has gone fully into the prospects of this line in a Memorandum which appears in the Confidential prints for November 1904.)\n\nIt is not quite correct, however, to say that German engineers are actually engaged in building a second German railway, and the suppression of any reference to British co-operation in the construction of the line from Tien-tsin to the Yang-tsze is hardly straightforward.\n\nOutsiders do not hold the same optimistic views as the Central Union with regard to the coal which, up to date, the German Shantung Mining Company have turned out. Nor can it be said that the Society for Mining Industrial Effort Abroad has had much reason, so far, to congratulate itself. To compute the amount of German capital invested in industrial enterprises in Shanghae recourse must have been had to private information furnished by the individuals concerned, but to make up a similar statement from a British point of view would involve an officious prying into the affairs of others likely to be strongly resented. Reading the remarks of the Central Union, one would imagine that the various undertakings enumerated owed their existence to German...",

How important the Chinese service is to the largest shipping concerns, the Hamburg-American and the North German Lloyd lines, is shown by the imposing fleet of vessels in the Chinese service of both these lines. In the trans-oceanic trade with Shanghae, these two Companies maintained, in 1902, 11 Imperial mail steamers and 23 other steam-ships. In the coasting trade, they had 5 and in the river traffic 6 steam-ships, to which must be added 24 steam-ships of other German Companies, all of which are employed in the foreign and coasting trade of Shanghae.\n\nIn Hankow, the great centre of the Chinese interior trade, the German flag was not represented in carrying freight in 1892: 15 per cent. of the total importations of that city were brought in German ships in 1902. The East Asiatic steam-boat line, subsidized by the Empire, carried 9,812 persons to the East in 1902, and on the homeward trips 10,400. The outward freight carried amounted to 181,936 tons, valued at 55,444,000 dollars, of which 94,769 tons, worth 21,705,600 dollars, went to the Orient. Of these, 64,049 tons, worth 12,709,200 dollars, were German products. In other words, 67.6 per cent. of the total tonnage and 58.5 per cent. of the total value were German. The return freight amounted to 87,167 tons, worth 33,955,000 dollars. Of this, 49,689 tons, valued at 8,330,000 dollars, or 57 per cent. of the total freight and 24.6 per cent. of the total value, were destined for Germany.\n\nThe German Shantung Railroad, between Tsingtau and Tsinan-fu, is finished. Over its tracks are running German locomotives and German cars, both passenger and freight. An exceedingly fine saloon car, formerly on exhibition at Düsseldorf, is used on this line. Up to November 1st, 1902, 22 locomotives, 28 passenger cars, 10 express cars, 213 freight cars, and 245 coal cars were sent out to this road. At the present time, German engineers are busy with the building of a second German railroad in China. Its completion is practically secured through German capital. It is intended to unite Tien-tsin, the great commercial centre of the north, with the Yang-tsze by means of two very valuable branches penetrating still farther into the interior. For carrying out the preliminary work of this road, a combination, known as the German-Chinese Railroad Company, has been formed, with an original capital of 2,380,000 dollars.\n\nThe German Shantung Mining Company is working hand in hand with the Shantung Railroad. It is producing and selling coal which, according to the testimony of experts, is destined to play an important role in the East Asiatic market. It is said to be superior to Japanese coal in heating power and to make less smoke. The market for this coal, both in the interior of Shantung and along the coast, is secured through the arrangement of cheap prices for transportation over the Shantung Railroad. Thus both of these enterprises give promise of profits and look out upon a favourable future. Previous results in the matter of mining give promise to the railroad of the profitable transportation of coal.\n\nA second Mining Company in Tsingtau, the German Society for Mining Industrial Effort Abroad, has begun to mine in five zones in Shantung which have been conceded to it by the Chinese Government. They are working on various kinds of ores, among them gold.\n\nIf we look on the German spheres of interest outside of Shantung, we find in Shanghae, for example, two German Stock Companies, with a working capital of 238,000 dollars. These Companies are engaged in the weaving of silk and cotton goods. There are, in addition, 2,380,000 dollars of German capital engaged in cotton spinning in Shanghae, 1,500,000 dollars in selling silk, 1,500,000 dollars in flour mills, and large amounts in Agricultural Companies, banks, wharves, docks, gas-houses, &c. In numerous other places in China, large sums of German capital have been invested in all kinds of industrial enterprises, although it would be hard to obtain exact figures in regard to them.\n\nStill another picture—the German merchant in China. The old-time distinguished and well-known expert merchant, a man of industry and cleverness, supported by considerable financial means, is to be found in all important places along the coast, and in recent years in places in the interior. Shanghae alone has at least 68 large German firms, whose annual turnover amounts to 28,560,000 dollars, or 22 per cent. of the total turnover of the city of Shanghae. After Shanghae, Tien-tsin is the most germanized city in China. It has 29 large German firms working, with an active capital of 4,552,000 dollars. The Germans' part in the business of that city amounts to 60 per cent. of the total imports and 45 per cent. of the total exports. In Canton, 12 German commercial houses are stationed, doing 50 per cent. of the total import and 75 per cent. of the total export business. Chefoo has 4 German firms, with a capital of 357,000 dollars; Amoy has 3 German firms, with a capital of 71,400 dollars. Of the other Treaty ports, Swatow, Fuchow, and Hankow are domiciles of large German firms. Germany's share in the imports of Hankow is placed at 2,850,000 dollars, and her share in exports at 700,000 dollars to 900,000 dollars.\n\nThe trade with China has made it necessary to establish a German Asiatic Bank, with its principal quarters at Shanghae and branch houses in Tien-tsin, Peking, Hong Kong, Tsingtau, and Hankow. This bank declared dividends in 1902 of 9 per cent., and for this year, there is every prospect for a favourable dividend.\n\nIs China important for its imports of German wares? Germany's foreign trade statistics put China with Macao and Hong Kong and Kiao-chau by themselves. In the year 1902, goods worth 9,020,200 dollars were exported to China, including Macao, from Germany. Almost every important branch of German industry is represented in these exports.\n\n### PRINCIPAL Exports from Germany to China in 1902\n| Articles | Value (Dollars) | Articles | Value (Dollars) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Aniline dyes | 1,547,000 | Wares made of precious metals | 119,000 |\n| Needles | 1,237,600 | Iron bars | 95,200 |\n| Woollen wares | 642,600 | Clocks | 95,200 |\n| Passementerie | 571,200 | Machinery | 95,200 |\n| Fine iron wares | 261,800 | Copper | 71,400 |\n| Beer | 261,800 | Cotton tissues | 71,400 |\n| Coarse iron wares | 142,800 | Cotton trimmings | 71,400 |\n| Woollen yarn | 142,800 | Spun silk | 71,400 |\n| Sugar | 142,800 | Raw sugar | 71,400 |\n| Cotton goods (hosiery) | 476,000 | Mercury | 285,000 |\n| Indigo | ... | Nickel | ... |\n| Brass wares | ... |  |  |\n\nDuring the same year, German exports to Hong Kong amounted to 952,000 dollars; and to the Protectorate of Kiao-chau to 1,642,200 dollars.

Germany does not participate at all in the export of tea.

The total export of silk from China amounts to 120,000 bales. Of imports there are quite 50 per cent. in which no German can claim a share.\n\nTo turn to the shipping figures.

This gives for 1903:\n\n| Country | Percentage |\n| --- | --- |\n| British | 47.57 |\n| Japanese | 13.38 |\n| German | 11.18 |\n\n(It may incidentally be remarked that, at first sight, the wording of the German statement is misleading. Total tonnage and total value refers not to the whole of China's trade, but to that small portion thereof carried in German steamers.)\n\nThe railway between Tsingtao and Chinan is a piece of work of which the Germans may justly feel proud, and the energy and expedition displayed in carrying it out should serve as a useful object-lesson to British dilatoriness and apathy in this particular field of enterprise. (The writer has gone fully into the prospects of this line in a Memorandum which appears in the Confidential prints for November 1904.) It is not quite correct, however, to say that German engineers are actually engaged in building a second German railway, and the suppression of any reference to British co-operation in the construction of the line from Tien-tsin to the Yang-tsze is hardly straightforward.\n\nOutsiders do not hold the same optimistic views as the Central Union with regard to the coal which, up to date, the German Shantung Mining Company have turned out. Nor can it be said that the Society for Mining Industrial Effort Abroad has had much reason, so far, to congratulate itself. To compute the amount of German capital invested in industrial enterprises in Shanghae recourse must have been had to private information furnished by the individuals concerned, but to make up a similar statement from a British point of view would involve an officious prying into the affairs of others likely to be strongly resented. Reading the remarks of the Central Union, one would imagine that the various undertakings enumerated owed their existence to German... \n\nPage 501",

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received February 9, 1907.)**\n\n(No. 541.)\n\nSir,\n\nPeking, December 23, 1906.\n\nWITH reference to Sir E. Satow's despatch No. 183 of the 17th April, I have the honour to inclose for your information copies of correspondence relating to the proposed employment of British engineers on the Canton-Hankow Railway.\n\nIt will be remembered that in March last the Viceroy Chang desired to engage an engineer for the special duty of resurveying the trace of this railway, and asked His Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow to ascertain whether Mr. Kinder would be willing to undertake the work and on what terms. Mr. Kinder, who was on leave in England, telegraphed his terms, which were acceptable to the Viceroy, but he naturally made the new engagement subject to the sanction of the Viceroy of Chihli, Yuan Shih-k'ai, under whom he is serving as Engineer-in-chief of the Northern Railways. This condition created a difficulty. The Viceroy Yuan was prepared, if Mr. Kinder would first come to Tien-tsin and make it clear that his services could be spared, to agree to his employment on the Canton-Hankow Railway for two or three months, but this arrangement did not apparently suit the wishes of the Viceroy Chang, who displayed an unusual anxiety to hurry on the survey, and hinted that he might have to employ a Japanese engineer already engaged for the Szechuan-Hankow Railway if Mr. Kinder's arrival was delayed.\n\nOn the 4th June Mr. Fraser was informed that, on account of the internal quarrels of the Chinese Company which is supposed to be undertaking the Kwangtung section, the Viceroy Chang had decided to have nothing to do with the line beyond Yo-chou, and that the question of employing Mr. Kinder should therefore be allowed to drop, it being understood that the senior of the three Japanese engineers engaged for the Hupei section of the Szechuan-Hankow Railway would probably resurvey the short section of the Canton-Hankow which lies in Hupei Province. As Mr. Kinder, when passing through Hankow in June, had expressed a disinclination to undertake any survey unless he was satisfied that the construction of the Hupei and Hunan sections would follow within a reasonable time and be intrusted to an engineer approved by him, Mr. Fraser did not press the question with the Viceroy. In September, however, his Excellency again approached Mr. Fraser to secure the services of Mr. Kinder, and on being told of the latter's views, the matter remained in abeyance until the 26th October, when the Viceroy sent his Secretary to Mr. Fraser with a note and message, which are summarised in Inclosure No. 5. It appeared from these that his Excellency intended to acquiesce in the doings of the Kwangtung Company, which were inconsistent with the spirit of his engagements of the 9th September, 1905, to us.\n\nI telegraphed my approval of the language used by Mr. Fraser in reply to this note, and instructed him to warn the Viceroy from me that the proposed action of the Kwangtung Company would at once be considered another step in the repudiation movement which had already attracted the serious attention of His Majesty's Government. At the same time I telegraphed to His Majesty's Consul-General for information, and received the reply given in Inclosure No. 7, according to which it appeared that the Chinese Chief Engineer of the Kwangtung Company was favourable to the appointment of an Englishman, and that a promise had been given to consider the papers of a gentleman whose name had been proposed by the Governor of Hong Kong.\n\nMr. Fraser's despatches of the 29th and 30th October, the 8th and 23rd November, and the 1st December, describe in detail the discussions which have taken place with the Viceroy Chang during the past two months on the subject of the employment of British engineers in Hupei, and, taken together with Mr. Kinder's private letter to me of the 6th December, appear to show that an English engineer of sufficient experience and standing cannot be induced to do what the Viceroy requires on the terms and conditions offered.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN.\n\n[2368 -1]\nB\n381\n\n## Original Text in French\n\nHoupeh, au sud du tronçon du Canton-Hankow au nord du tronçon du Sench'oan-Hankow.\n\nA l'heure actuelle, on a imprimé les conditions de l'émission et de la souscription des titres. On a également discuté la question de l'organisation d'une loterie pour se procurer des fonds à l'exemple de ce qui se passe en Anhui.\n\nLes actionnaires seront tous appelés marchands et tous seront actionnaires sans établir de distinctions entre Mandarins, Notables, marchands, gens du peuple, gens de la province, gens des autres provinces.\n\nLes fonds d'État qui pourraient être engagés dans l'entreprise seront considérés comme des titres ordinaires, ne conférant aucun pouvoir spécial et ne donnant droit à aucune allocation extraordinaire de dividendes.

From other sources I hear that although this firm succeeded in raising a considerable amount of capital in France last year, its prospects in Yunnan Province are not regarded as brilliant. A large sum was lost three or four years ago by the Mengtzu Agency through speculation in opium.\n\nThe Yunnan Syndicate is showing more signs of life than has been the case for some time. M. Lutz, the local Manager, has got as far as Mengtzu, where he is looking for a house in which to set up an extensive assayist's laboratory purchased in England. He is to be assisted by a young Englishman named Collins, now in Hong Kong. Both gentlemen contemplate visiting Yunnan-fu shortly, when I shall be in a better position to report on the proposals and prospects of the Syndicate.\n\nA Match Factory, to be run with capital largely raised in London and (I believe) Singapore, is in contemplation, but is being delayed by the death of one of the two local Managers, M. Schneebeli, a Swiss.\n\n## Proposed Distribution Agency for goods from India and Burmah\n\nThe Norwegian agent in Yunnan of the British and Foreign Bible Society (Mr. Edward Amundsen), a capable man with an extensive personal knowledge of Yünnan and Szechuan, laid before me last October a proposal to open depôts at Yunnan-fu and Hsiakuan for the display of samples of woven goods, hardware, watches, soaps, paper, medicines, boots, grocers' stores, and the rest. This proposal I transmitted, through the Government of Burmah, to the Rangoon Chamber of Commerce. In due course I was informed by the Chief Secretary that it had been passed on to the Chamber, but I am still without any acknowledgment from the latter. I regret to say that this apparent indifference to the furtherance of trade with Yünuan would seem to be characteristic of the present Rangoon Chamber.\n\n## Inland Transit Passes\n\nA local Chinese merchant sent in to me a petition affirming that a consignment of dried orange peel (\"ch'en pi\"), for which an inland transit pass had been taken out at Chungking, was being detained by the li-kin collectorate here. Petitioner represented that the pass had been granted to the British firm of Kung-tai (J. W. Stewart), but on making inquiries I found that it had been issued to the China Merchants Company. Although the goods had, by their passage through Hong Kong, acquired a foreign status, they are of Chinese origin; I did not, therefore, feel justified in doing more than to advise, informally, the Provincial Government to release them pending a reference to the Chungking Customs.\n\nThis is the first case for upwards of three years in which complaint has reached me of lack of respect shown to transit passes.\n\n## Laokei-Yunnan-fu Railway\n\nTowards the end of 1905 the Construction Company declared that the work could not be completed for the amount originally estimated, and that some sixty million more francs would be necessary. It was in connection with this demand that M. Beau, Governor-General of Indo-China, visited the province last March.\n\nHis Excellency was conducted along the line, up the valley of the Namhti, past the Mengizu Plain to La-li-hei, a point some three stages further north. Thence he returned to Tonking by way of Mengtzu and Manhao. The object of this tour was doubtless to show what difficulties had been, and remained to be, surmounted; but to thus confine the Governor-General's attention to a series of ravines was hardly the best way to convince him that the Yunnan Province is worth exploiting. However that may be, it is understood that M. Beau concluded that further financial aid must be given, and with that end in view has been personally consulting at Paris with the State Departments concerned. (He returned a short time since to Hanoi.)\n\nMeanwhile the French Government had sent out a Mission of Inquiry, headed by M. Drogue, Engineer-in-chief of the Ponts et Chaussées. He was assisted by two Engineers, MM. Constantin and Gervais, and by two Financial Experts, MM. Decron and Loisy. The Commission followed the line right up to Yunnan-fu, accompanied by M. Guibert, the Chief Superintendent, and M. Sainson, formerly Consul at Mengtzu, representing the Construction Company; by M. Jullidières, Acting Director-General of Public Works in Tongking, and MM. Metour and Kerler, representing the interests of the Colony; and by MM. Langrogne and Chemin-Dupontès, representing the Concessionnaires. Two days only were spent at Yunnan-fu, after which the party returned to Mengtzu along the earlier trace, through Tunghai. On their arrival at Mengtzu M. Drogue declared himself so disgusted with Chinese inns as to be unwilling to encounter the worst of them all, those between Mengtzu and Manhao. He accordingly elected to go down to Tongking by the Namhti route. Part of his following took the ordinary road to Manhao, while part continued to observe the original trace along the Sinhsien Valley.\n\nIt is confidently expected that, as a result of their reports, the money asked for by the Construction Company will be forthcoming. MM. Guibert and Sainson went to Paris with the Mission, M. Guibert's place being meanwhile taken by M. du Traz.\n\nService trains are running for at least 33 kilom. (say 20 miles) in Yünnan territory, and work is being energetically pushed everywhere. Some 46,000 coolies are now employed, costing per head in the Namhti Valley, in wages and rice, 1 dol. 20 c. a-day. At this (the Yunnan-fu) end of the line, the buildings of the station are complete except for doors, windows, and ironwork. All the staff of the section has been transferred elsewhere, and one European alone will be left in charge of the buildings and of the comparatively small remaining work on the embankments. It seems now fairly certain that the railway will be completed by the end of 1909.\n\nP.S.-A Reuter's telegram (Hong Kong, 24th January) reports that the French Government has approved the project of a loan intended to complete the Yunnan Railway.\n\n## Movements of Foreign Officials\n\nM. Leduc, “Député du Ministère des Affaires Étrangères,\" left Yunnan-fu on the 7th February, after a residence here of close on three years. I hear (from Chinese sources) that he has recommended his Government to bestow decorations on Hsing-lu, for many years Superintendent of the Department for Foreign Affairs in Yünnan and now Financial Commissioner in Kueichow; on Kuei-fu, his sometime Assistant, now Prefect of Chengchiang; on Chou Hang, formerly Magistrate at Mengtzu; and on Tang, French Secretary in the Foreign Department. In return a telegram was sent, about the 4th February, to Peking, asking for the bestowal on M. Leduc of rank of the Second Degree (Erh-p'in Ting-t'ai).\n\nWith the exception of four months at Foochow in 1887, M. Leduc has spent the whole of his twenty-one years of service either in the north, at Peking or Tien-tsin, or in this province, at Mengtzu and Yunnan-fu. He remains titular \"Premier Interprète\" —or, as we should say, Chinese Secretary—to the French Legation; but it is doubtful whether on his return to China at the close of this year he will take up the post.\n\nHe is succeeded here by M. Arnould, Consul of the Second Class. M. Arnould has been stationed at Aleppo, and is altogether ignorant of Chinese. He is some 52 years of age, and has been confined to his bed since his arrival, so that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him. He has brought with him his young son of 10, with the latter's governess, Mme. Arnould remaining in France with her daughter.\n\nM. Gélis, Assistant at the French Consulate-General, leaves for Foochow. He has been replaced here by M. Soulier, a young man who has spent five years in China, for the most part at Shaughae. He will act as interpreter for M. Arnould.\n\nTo the Yunnan-fu agency of the Imperial Chinese Post has been sent a Frenchman, M. Périer, at one time employed at the French post-office at Tien-tsin, but later on at the Chinese Post at Yochow. Hitherto the office has been run by Chinese alone, with the result that many complaints reached the Superintending Commissioner (at Mengtzu) of petty frauds or exactions. A recent notification by the Judicial Commissioner invites popular confidence in M. Périer and the three branch offices he has opened in this city.\n\nM. Mougeot, \"Receveur\" at the French post-office here, expects to shortly return to Tonquin. He has an uncle who is, or was, a Cabinet Minister.\n\n## Missions\n\nMgr. Fenouil, titular Bishop of Tenedos and Vicar Apostolic in Yunnan, died on the 10th January, aged 86. He came out to Hong Kong nearly sixty years ago, stayed on the island some two years, then proceeded to this province, where he resided continuously up to the day of his death. He was, I imagine, the oldest European resident in China. In earlier days he more than once went in peril of his life; but he died a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. For the past few years he led a very secluded life, indeed, never saw him. A Suffragan Bishop, Mgr. Excoffier, acted for him till a year or two ago, when the Suffragan returned to Rome, severing for some reason his connection with the Mission. Since that time P. Maire, the Pro-Vicaire, ...\n\nPage 43",

American missionaries having occupied a mission site at Hai Tao, in Huchow, and the district officials being unable to recover it, and an appeal to the United States' Minister evoking a still more unfair judgment, which the people of Huchow would not recognize, Chang Ch'un, a military officer, and Liu Teng Ju came forward and took the matter up with the Americans, and their spirit and good cause overbore the Americans and secured the return of the land occupied.\n\nAgain, the Shansi gentry, being unable to make headway against the oppressive action of the Peking Syndicate, sent a delegation in the 8th moon to Peking to negotiate direct with the British. The Wai-wu Pu appointed the former Shansi Judge, Ting Pao Chuan, to back them up, and the victory remained at last, in the 12th moon, with the Shansi men, who redeemed the mining rights of the Peking Syndicate for over 2,000,000 taels. From this one sees the comparative power and capital of the nation and of the Government.\n\nThese two cases are the only ones of the past year which can give satisfaction. The success is due to the efforts of the people. How can it still be said they are incapable?\n\nIn the 6th moon, the prohibition by the American authorities at San Francisco of Chinese children attending schools for white children being extended to Japanese children, serious trouble arose between Japan and America. America proving in the wrong, Japanese children were allowed in the schools on the score of not being of Mongolian race. Later the American Labour Union agitated to drive out the Japanese, and frequently wrecked Japanese shops and stopped their trade. International relations became more and more strained, and the United States' Government dispatched a squadron to the Pacific, and the outcome of the matter is still to be seen. Chinese Government is helpless in face of the expulsion of Chinese children from the schools, and even expressed extreme gratitude to the United States' Government for the return of part of the 1900 indemnity.\n\nIn the 9th moon the agitation about the foreign loan for the Su-Hang-Ning Railway began. The origin was the Tsung-li Yamên's blunder in causelessly yielding to others' claims, and then the Wai-wu Pu procrastinated and shilly-shallied, and not only took no notice of the Decree sanctioning Chekiangese merchants building the railway, but blindly made a Loan Agreement without reference to any one else, and thus caused a violent agitation throughout the south-east.\n\nThe Kiangsu and Chekiang Company insisted on the original scheme, and the Chinese people hurried to help by subscribing capital, and in a very short time 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 taels were forthcoming--an unprecedented occurrence, and one proof of innate patriotism; but the Wai-wu Pu, pressed by the British, was unable to think of any plan for putting things right. Although four representatives from Kiangsu and Chekiang went to Peking to thresh the question there, their idea of putting things right proved to be only hovering about, and so popular excitement ran higher than ever. This matter is not settled in principle up to the present moment, after four or five months' suspense.\n\nThe other cases where foreigners scored were when the Germans were allowed to mine coal at Tsu Ch'uan, in Shantung, and the Russians to mine gold at Ku Lun (Urga), in the Tse-tsin Khanate of Outer Mongolia, at Iliochi. The Mongol Princes of the eastern part of Tushet'u Khanate wired to have the Concession cancelled, but in vain. The French stationing soldiers at Mengtse, the American oil installation at Wuhu, the prevention by the French Minister of the project of the Lienchow gentry to build a railway from Pakhoi to the West River on the score that it would interfere with the French Railway Concession, and the Government humbly giving way to the French, are other cases in point. Again, when the Government wanted to build a railway from Hsinmintung to Fakumen, the Japanese also openly put a stop to the project, saying that if their wishes were not respected they would use force.\n\nSo at present the sphere of lines successfully put under Chinese management is extremely narrow, being solely Kiangsu and Chekiang lines and the Kwantung portion of the Canton-Hankow Railway; and of these the former is objected to by the Wai-wu Pu over the Su-Hang-Ning case, and as to the latter, continual party strife rages.\n\nFrom this it is evident that China is surrounded by foes, whose only anxiety is lest they slacken in their efforts to block her future business. Besides, the passing of mining rights into the hands of foreigners, as the Japanese at Tayeh, the French at Tachiehlu and Kueichou, is hard to enumerate.\n\nKirin-Kalgan Railway.\n\nThe Japanese and Chinese engineers should complete the survey of the line shortly, and will then return to Mukden to prepare an estimate of the cost. The question of raising a loan will then be discussed. It is stated that work will be begun in April, but there are said to be serious differences of opinion between the Chinese and Japanese engineers, each claiming the right of control over the workmen employed on the line.\n\nMotor-car Service in Mongolia.\n\nThe proposal to establish a motor-car service in Mongolia has already been sanctioned. Capital to the amount of 100,000 dollars has now been raised, and two cars of 24 h.p. are to be purchased with a view to establishing a service between Kalgan and Urga, each passenger to be charged 30 taels. Two new cars are to be purchased every six months.\n\nThe Company applied for a monopoly of motor-car services in Mongolia, and offered to carry the Chinese mails free from Kalgan to Urga. The Board of Communications have objected to the monopoly being granted, and have declined the offer to carry the mails on the ground that it might lead to disputes with the Russian Post Office.\n\nThe Peace Conference.\n\nLu Chêng Hsiang, the Chinese Delegate to the Peace Conference, who returned to Peking recently, has presented a secret Memorial to the Throne giving the results of his observations at the Conference and during his stay in Europe. It is reported that he takes a very pessimistic view of the result of the Conference, and considers that the mutual jealousies among the Powers are so strong and the desire for peace so half-hearted that serious results are bound to ensue within the next few years. He considers that China's only chance of being able to hold her own in the coming struggles lies in the reform of the Administration and the establishment of a constitutional Government.\n\nChinese Fleet.\n\nSome time ago the Chinese Minister in London was directed to make contracts for the construction of men-of-war, and it is stated that Wang Ta Hsieh, the Commissioner to England to study the Constitution, has now been directed to assist the Minister in this matter.-[Extract from Chinese press.]\n\nReorganization of the Chinese Navy.\n\nIt is reported in official circles that the reason for delay in proceeding with the reorganization of the navy is not lack of funds, but that the Empress-Dowager hesitates to take any steps in the matter because so few of the Imperial clansmen and other Manchus are qualified for posts in the navy.--[Extract from Chinese press.]\n\nProposed Parliament,\n\nThe Hunanese gentry have requested the Censorate and Board of the Interior to present a Memorial on their behalf praying for the establishment of a Parliament elected by the people.\n\nThe Grand Canal.\n\nA Memorial has been presented by the Board of Communications with reference to the proposed improvement of the Grand Canal so as to render it navigable for steam-launches. The reports of the various provincial authorities concerned are to the effect that the canal could not be made navigable for steam traffic except on certain sections and at great expense. They recommend, however, that certain improvements shall be carried out which will facilitate the navigation of the canal by junks. Extract from Chinese press.]\n\nResidence at Shanghae for Nanking Viceroy.\n\nIt has been proposed that the Viceroy should reside at Shanghae for a certain period every year in order to facilitate the arrangement of international questions.\n\n1",

At about 1:30 a.m. on the 18th, I was in Pottinger Street, working my beats by the right, when Jemadar Gulab met me at the entrance to Lok Hing Lane. He was in uniform, and asked me if all was right, in the usual way. He then asked me what beat I had been on, when on duty from 6 to 10 a.m. on the 16th instant. I told him No. 23 beat. He said he had not been able to find me on my beat. I told him I did not know why that should be so, as I had been on my beat. He said he would report me for this. I said he must do as he pleased.

He was in uniform. He came up to me. I saluted him, and answered him \"alright\". I walked along, and he walked in the same direction, a little in the rear, on my right. After walking a few paces, he asked me how it was that he had not been able to find me on my beat on the morning of the 17th instant, when I had been on No. 23 beat also. I said I had been on my beat. He said I must be telling lies, it could not be so. I said two Indian Constables had seen me on my beat as they were going off duty.\n\nHe walked with me to the turn up to Macdonnell Road. There he stopped and asked me: What is it to be? Do you want me to report you? I said I would leave that to him. He then said: I wish you to do something for me. I asked him what it was. He said to have to do with him as if I were a woman. I told him I had never done such a thing before, and he should not do it, and that he had a wife.

        "content_text": "Extract from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" of the 26th November, 1909.\n\nTHE KING'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS. UNVEILING OF STATUES. PICTURESQUE CEREMONIES.\n\nYesterday having been fixed for the local celebration of the anniversary of the birthday of His Majesty King Edward, the day was observed as a general holiday and advantage was taken of the occasion to unveil the statues of Queen Alexandra and the Princess of Wales. The usual review at the Happy Valley—a picturesque and striking pageant—was cancelled, but the ceremonial in Statue Square when the statues were exposed to public view was very imposing, and the review of the naval brigade in the Dockyard was not the least attractive feature of the day's programme.\n\nAdequate arrangements had been made for the unveiling ceremony. Two stands were erected for the convenience of residents, but many preferred the greater view obtained from the verandahs of the adjacent buildings, even the Law Courts having a large quota of spectators. The troops of the Garrison were massed on all sides of the square, and in addition to the Hongkong Volunteers, the colours of six regiments were borne by their standard bearers at the rear of the Queen Victoria Statue. The bright array of soldiers with their glansing bayonets was the most prominent element in the thrilling spectacle, and the vastness of the Empire was well illustrated by the turbanned sons of India marching with the helmeted soldiers of the King. Beautiful sunshine brought out every detail of the picturesque display, and the large throng of spectators felt compensated for the loss of the usual review at the Happy Valley.\n\nJust before 10 o'clock H.E. the Governor, accompanied by H.E. the General Officer Commanding, and Commodore Lyon, with their respective aides-de-camp and secretaries in attendance, arrived on the scene, and was received with a royal salute, the band of the Buffs striking up the National Anthem. When the music had ceased the gubernatorial party, accompanied by members of the Coronation Committee, proceeded to the specially-erected platform in front of the statue of Her Royal Highness Queen Alexandra, where the first unveiling ceremony took place.\n\nHon. Mr. E. A. Hewitt, in asking his Excellency to undertake the unveiling, told of the conditions leading up to the obtaining of Her Majesty's statue. He hoped that for many a long year the statue would remain not only as a memorial to the gracious lady it represented, but also a token of the amity and good fellowship which existed between the various nationalities who combined to make up the cosmopolitan population of Hongkong. He asked his Excellency, as a small souvenir of the event, to accept a replica of the Coronation medal, and to unveil the statue.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said: Mr. Hewitt, Ladies and Gentlemen,—The Chairman of the Coronation Committee has already recalled to your memory the circumstances connected with the origin of this beautiful statue of our Gracious Queen. Its erection is an indication of the deep-seated loyalty of this Colony to our Sovereign, whose throne is the symbol and bond of unity between all parts of the British Empire. We pride ourselves here in Hongkong upon our loyalty and patriotism, and I doubt if any Crown Colony can rival this fine group of statues of our late revered Queen, of Their Gracious Majesties who now reign over us, of Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, who at some future date will be our King and Queen. As we wish long life to the King, so we desire that that date may be long deferred. It would be superfluous for me to say more than a very few words regarding Her Gracious Majesty the Queen. Admiration and love for her lie deep in the heart of every British subject. During all the 46 years that she has been among us those feelings have ever grown deeper and stronger. We regard her as one of the most regally endowed of Queens, and as the type and example that is best in womanhood. Her devotion to the duties of her high station and the success and charm with which she has performed them, as well as her never-failing sympathy with sorrow and suffering, are known to us all. You have erected this statue not only as an emblem of loyalty, but as a mark of admiration and love of the noble lady who is our most gracious Sovereign. It will give Their Majesties, I am sure, special pleasure to learn that this statue was subscribed for not only by their loyal subjects in this Colony, but by many who owe allegiance to other and friendly Sovereigns. They desired no doubt in this way to express their admiration of our Queen, to testify to the benefits they have received under the King's Government in this Colony, and to bear witness to the cordial relations which have existed between them and His Majesty's subjects in Hongkong. It will ever be a source of gratification to me that I have been asked to perform the ceremony of unveiling this statue to-day on the anniversary of His Majesty's Birthday, and the replica of the Coronation Medal which the Chairman has presented to me will be a valued memento of the occasion. In the name of the subscribers, I now unveil the statue and present it as a memorial for all time to the Colony of Hongkong.\n\nThe Governor then pulled a rope, the shroud obscuring Her Gracious Majesty fell away, and from the surrounding scaffolding four Union Jacks fluttered bravely in the breeze, while the band of the Buffs struck up the music accompanying a royal salute and the spectators raised cheers for Her Majesty.\n\nPage 587\n\nJAN 10]",

        "content_text": "The Governor and Committee then crossed the square to the shrouded statue of the Princess of Wales, which was next to be revealed. All round the enclosed statue were squads of the Buffs, and in close vicinity were the Hongkong Volunteers, who were in charge of Captains Andrews, Wolfe and Craik.\n\nThe enclosed square from which the unveiling ceremony was conducted was occupied by His Excellency the Governor, Major General Broadwood and Commodore Lyon, and by Mr. H. N. Mody, the generous donor of the statue. Mr. H. N. Mody said:-Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with the greatest pleasure that I now call upon your Excellency to unveil, and take over for the community, the statue of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. The embellishment of the very few open spaces we possess in this Colony is, I think, an object worthy of the attention of those who have the good fortune to be able to take hand in doing so, nor can this object be better attained than by the erection of statues of those to whom we owe allegiance, devotion and love. It was, therefore, with the greatest pleasure that, on the opportunity being afforded me to do something in this line, I offered, subject to the sanction of His Majesty Our King and to the consent of the Royal Personage immediately concerned, to present to the Colony the statue you are now about to unveil. His Majesty's sanction was readily granted, and Her Royal Highness very graciously consented to give the necessary sittings to Mr Wade, the sculptor selected whose works of art are numerous and well known, and I am given to understand he has produced a very speaking likeness, which it is now my proud pleasure to present to this Colony. We may well be proud of the fact that we hold the honour of possessing the very first statue of our Gracious Princess that has as yet been erected, though one is now being prepared for India. Like our present Gracious Queen, the Princess of Wales has always shown a keen interest in all works of mercy and charity. Long may she be spared to do so. With these few remarks I now ask your Excellency to unveil the statue.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said Mr. Mody, Ladies and Gentlemen,-The addition of this statue of H.R.H. the Princess of Wales completes the group which forms our \"Royal Square,\" and so soon as the building sheds, which I regret will still for some time disfigure it, are removed, this Square will form a worthy and dignified approach to the Colony from the sea. The statue has been presented by Mr. H. N. Mody, who is ever ready to come forward to promote the welfare and add to the beauty and utility of the Colony, in which he has spent the greater part of his life. In the name of the Colony I thank him for his generous gift. Of Her Royal Highness and of the Prince of Wales it may be said that no prospective King and Queen of England have ever travelled so largely and seen so much of the British Empire as they have. It is significant of the increased importance with which the British Colonies are now regarded by the Mother country that their Royal Highnesses should thus have made themselves personally familiar with the sister nations whose destinies are linked with those of the British Isles, and with the Colonies, which, like Hongkong, are so important to the trade and to the naval supremacy of Great Britain. We are also proud that our future Queen will be the first for many centuries to be British-born. May Their Royal Highnesses be spared by Providence long lives, so that in due course they may reign over a united and loyal and patriotic Empire! At the request of the generous donor I now unveil the statue, and present it in his name to the Colony to which in so many ways he has been a benefactor.\n\nA bugle then sounded, the shroud enclosing the statue fell, and four Union Jacks were run up to the corner poles of the scaffolding which had enclosed the Princess. The band then played, a royal salute was given and all hats were doffed to the revivified Princess.\n\nTHE MARCH PAST.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, the General Officer Commanding, the Commodore and the General Staff then mounted the steps of the Queen's Statue to view the march past,\n\nThe Union Jack Was unfurled on the flagstaff, and naval gunners near Queen's Statue Pier fired a salute. The booming of the guns and the cheers of the spectators proved a hearty \"Health to His Majesty,\" and the troops started on the march past.\n\nThe Bluejackets, with their machine-like evolutions, well filled the premier post in the pageant, while the marines took second place with no less distinction. Then followed the Royal Artillery, the H.K.S.B.R.G.A., the Royal Engineers, the Buffs with their historical colours, the Volunteers, the Mahrattas and the Rajputs, the two latter displaying banners which have earned the adoration of all Britons.\n\nTHE NAVAL REVIEW.\n\nThe end of the march past concluded the proceedings in Statue Square, and the spectators then wended their way to the Naval Yard. The impassable gates of this usually secluded quarter were thrown open, and a large crowd of spectators filled the compound to witness the evolutions of the first defence of the Empire. Those in charge of the parade were Commodore Lyon, Commander J. Nicholas, H. M. S. Flora, Commander Smith H.M.S. Monmouth, Commander Acton, H.M.S. Tamar, Commander Pyke, H. M. S. Monmouth, Lieut. Chilcott and Lieut. Dukes Hughes.\n\nA bugle call announced the arrival of H. E. the Governor at the Naval Yard, simultaneous with which the big Union Jack at the saluting base and the two White Ensigns were unfurled. A royal salute followed, and then his Excellency inspected the bluejackets and marines.\n\nPage 563",

Visitors from abroad taking this route into Yünnan will have to come first to Hanoi (a railway journey of 64 miles from Haiphong, which takes three hours to accomplish). From Hanoi, the train for Laokay starts at 6:25 A.M., and is due to arrive at its destination (1843 miles) at 6:30 P.M. The traveller must pass a night in Laokay, where there are two or three small hotels. The next morning the voyage is recommenced at 6:35 A.M., and the train is scheduled to arrive at Mongtze (Dragon Noir station) at 4:34 P.M., and at Amichou at 7:10 P.M.\n\nFrom Amichou to Yunnanfu will be another day's journey when the railway is completed. It is now confidently expected here that this will be not later than the month of April 1910—possibly two or three months earlier.\n\nThe line does not actually touch the town of Mongtze, which lies in a plain, while the railway keeps along the side of the hills. The nearest point of the line to the town is the station at Dragon Noir, which is 4.4 miles (7 kiloms.) distant, but goods are handled at the Pi-che-tchai station, 7 miles (11 kiloms.) from the town, where an office of the Chinese Customs has been established.\n\nI have the honour to enclose a short table showing some of the principal charges for the conveyance of goods and passengers on the line. It will be noticed that goods of French or Indo-Chinese origin are favoured with a reduced tariff when conveyed by the truck load. The goods which will chiefly benefit by this at present are the cotton-yarns spun in the three Tonkin mills.\n\nThe line is worked by the Compagnie Française des Chemins de Fer de l'Indo-Chine et du Yünnan.\n\nI have, &c.\n**T.

        "content_text": "## 5 \n\n## 587 \n\nYanglin (see Intelligence Report, March quarter) has been again revived, and it is now suggested that a commencement should be made in the autumn. I do not think that anything in this direction will be done this year.\n\nThe proposed Chinese railway from Yunnan-fu into Szechuan has been the subject of common talk. A Swiss engineer, M. Meister, is, I hear, on the point of being engaged by the Provincial Railway Board, for what purpose I do not yet know. M. Meister was formerly engineer-in-charge of the Namti or first section of the French railway in Yünnan. M. Meister, in conversation with me, was disposed to be very sanguine that this Chinese line would be shortly taken in hand, and attributed a keen anxiety to the Chinese for rail connection with Szechuan so as to be independent of the French Yunnan Railway. I am informed by a subordinate in the Provincial Railway Board Office that 700,000 taels ($81,000) in cash and promises represents the total railway fund for Yunnan at the present time. Several mule loads of share certificates printed in Japan arrived in May last, but there has been no demand for them. The official opinion at Yunnan-fu appears to be pessimistic in regard to this line.\n\nIt is persistently reported that two American railway engineers have been engaged for work on the Yunnan-Szechuan line. Dr. Mazzolani, who has opportunities of hearing things denied to me, tells me that an American engineer has been engaged as adviser to the Provincial Board, and will arrive here in the autumn. The Administrator of Foreign Affairs, Shih Tseng, however, has declared on more than one occasion, both to the French consul and myself, that the Provincial Railway Board have not engaged any foreigners.\n\n**(b.) Commercial Summary**\n\nForeign Firms at Yünnan-fu.--The foreign firms established at Yünnan-fu, four in number, are all French, viz., L'Union commerciale indo-chinoise, Messrs. Charrière and Co., Messrs. Barbage, and Messrs. Pasquier and Co. The first named has a new manager, M. Lallier. The former manager resigned in disgust at the lack of interest taken in the Yunnan business by head-quarters. He told me two or three stories which appeared amazing, and revealed the extraordinary apathy of the head office at Hanoi. One was that he had obtained a contract for the supply of a large quantity of steel to the arsenal, and had telegraphed for a quotation price. The price given was so low that he had demanded a repetition. The second telegram confirmed the first. His comprador proceeded to settle the contract with the arsenal authorities, when a letter was received from Hanoi pointing out that a mistake had been made in the telegraphic quotation, and giving a very much higher figure. The firm refused to abide by the comprador's agreement, and the latter was compelled to \"square\" before he could get the contract cancelled. He left the firm. Another instance was the supply of uniforms for the soldiers in Yünnan. The local agent was offered the contract at the same price as was paid last year. The head office demanded a higher rate, and the contract was accepted at the lower figure by Pasquier and Co., who are agents for the German firm of Speidel and Co. I had occasion to complain to the local agent of Messrs. Charrière and Co. of the non-arrival of some electric bells ordered two months previously and promised within a month, and I cancelled the order. The agent (a Frenchman) told me he was exceedingly glad of this opportunity to be able to write a strong letter to his firm at Hanoi, and he proceeded to pour out his woes. His tale, if true, showed an astounding side of French commercial enterprise in Yünnan.\n\nMessrs. Barbage have obtained a contract for the electric lighting of the Normal College, but I understand that the firm is living a good deal on hopes. Messrs. Pasquier are interested in silk and general commission business. They have an agreement with Messrs. Speidel, a German firm at Hanoi, to sell only goods supplied by that firm.\n\nChinese Merchants gloomy.--There have been no new developments of trade, and Chinese merchants are very gloomy as to the future.\n\nCheap Food.--Food for man and beast still remains at abnormally low prices, and the prospects for a good rice harvest are favourable. The common people and the soldiers at Yunnan-fu are taking largely to wheat flour (5 lbs. for a penny) as an auxiliary to rice diet. Small hand flour mills would, I think, find a ready sale.\n\n**(c.) Army**\n\nRecruits.--The newly-enrolled recruits are being drilled. The material (Yunnan) is not as good as the Szechuan or Cantonese soldier, either in physique or intelligence. The Chinese officers declare, however, that they prefer the Yunnan man, as he is more amenable to discipline.\n\nDisease.--Venereal disease is very prevalent in the ranks. It has been proposed to establish brothels under official supervision for soldiers and civilians. The proposal has been favourably received in official quarters, but I understand that no definite steps have yet been taken. A moderate estimate of the number of public prostitutes at Yunnan-fu is 3,000, and I am assured by the European doctors that they consider that a large proportion of these are diseased. The arms referred to in my last intelligence report have been arriving at intervals during the quarter.\n\nIncrease of Military Forces.--It is stated that Li Ching-hsi has obtained the advance of 2,000,000 taels for military expenses, and the promise of an annual subvention of 260,000 taels. This money is to be employed in the equipment of 12,000 additional troops. The number of foreign armed and drilled men will thus be increased to 24,000.\n\n**(d.) Relations with Chinese Officials**\n\nThese have been satisfactory.\n\n**(e.) Movements of Chinese Officials**\n\nChin-shu-sheng, the titular prefect of Yunnan-fu, returned from Peking in April last, and was shortly afterwards sent to Ssumao as acting taotai. The post is not considered to be a lucrative one. Mr. Chin was at Tengyuch during the issue of the anti-missionary placards (`P.C., No. 39 of 1908`).\n\n**(f.) Movements of Foreign Officials**\n\nDeparture of French vice-consul.--M. Soulié, interpreter of the French consulates left Yunnan-fu and has been replaced by M. Crépin, formerly at Mengtse.\n\nVisit of Mr. Coggin Brown.--Mr. Coggin Brown, of the Geological Survey of India, passed through Yunnan-fu in May. He was very well received by the high officials here, and the governor-general invited him to dinner. During his stay, he made the acquaintance of Liu-bsiao-tsu Taotai, in charge of mining interests, and advised him as to the location of a coal mine in the neighbourhood. Liu Taotai has now taken steps to develop this mine, and has expressed his gratitude for Mr. Coggin Brown's expert advice. The latter was careful in his conversation with the officials to convey the impression that he was investigating the geology and mines in Yünnan from a purely scientific point of view. He reports that he has received no sort of hindrance, official or private, in his travels. I do not doubt that this was very largely due to the tactful manner in which his investigations have been conducted.\n\n**(g.) Reforms**\n\nAt the invitation of the literary chancellor, I examined three of the classes of the Faug Yen College in English subjects. The average age of the students is about 20, although they range from 15 to 25. Eight hours a week are devoted to the study of the English, French, and Japanese languages, but there are separate classes for each of these. The school hours, which struck me as too long, are occupied also with Chinese literature, geography, arithmetic, history, and drawing. The teachers are none of them Yunnan men and are imperfectly understood, and although they know the text-books, the standard of the scholars was not high, although one or two among them were exceptionally intelligent. Making due allowance for the short time the college had been opened--14 months--I gave an encouraging report. I spent an interesting day at the school, and was entertained to lunch by the literary chancellor and the teaching staff. The governor-general appeared to have been greatly pleased with the result of the visit, and the literary chancellor has asked me to hold an examination at the Normal College at a later date.\n\nThe Normal College contains about 600 students, and has room for 1,000. The numbers indicate that in years to come the province will possess a number of disappointed schoolmasters--a somewhat dangerous class for Yunnan, where there is little or no scope for other employment for these men. The annual cost of the Normal College is 60,000 taels ($7,000). The cost of the electric-light installation is to be partly met by the stoppage of light allowance to the students, 1 tael (2s. 4d.) a-head monthly.\n\nIn May last, I visited the new prison erected by Hsi Liang at a cost of 80,000 taels ($9,260). At present, it holds 200 male and 23 female prisoners. There is also a ...",

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press\n## HONGKONG, APRIL 29TH, 1910\n\nLast evening a large and representative gathering of Chinese assembled at Government House to take leave of **HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR**, and to present him with a token of their esteem and respect. To-night representatives of the European community will foregather at the gubernatorial residence to wish our departing **GOVERNOR** God-speed and a pleasant holiday in the Homeland; and on Saturday **HIS EXCELLENCY** will leave by H.M.S. Astrea on a well-earned vacation of six months.\n\nIt is almost three years since **SIR FREDERICK LUGARD** landed here, and his work in that time has fully justified the fitting welcome with which he was received on arrival. No sooner was he installed in office than **HIS EXCELLENCY** began to pick up the threads in the skein of local government, and his application and keen intellect soon made him au fait with all that pertained to public affairs in the Colony.\n\nHe arrived in a period of unparalleled trade depression, and at a time when the finances of the Colony were at the ebb. The opium crusade had begun at Home, and the eventual suppression of this trade meant a serious decline in the revenue of Hongkong. **HIS EXCELLENCY**, fully alive to the portents of the moment, took early opportunity to approach the **SECRETARY OF STATE** with regard to compensation for the loss occasioned the Colony through the action of the Imperial Government, and his representations in this direction ended in a substantial grant being conceded to the Colony.\n\nWith the loss on opium, and decrease in revenue through the falling-off of land sales, it became necessary that funds should be derived from other sources to carry on the many important public works on hand. There was no alternative but extra taxation, and when this was foreshadowed all Hongkong wondered upon what it would be levied. Now we know. A Customs Service is working smoothly and from all appearances successfully in what was formerly a free port, and to-day we realise the wisdom of **HIS EXCELLENCY'S** idea for replenishing a falling exchequer.\n\nThe **GOVERNOR** has not forgotten the lesson taught the Colony by the \"breath of the mighty typhoon,\" and has caused the refuge for native craft at Monkoktsui to be pushed ahead with all speed. Our water supply, also, has had his earnest consideration; while he has seen the British section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway nearly completed, and it is unfortunate, in a way, that he will not be present at the opening of the line.\n\nIt was shortly after his succession that the unofficial members of the Legislative Council discovered that the cost of this railway was far exceeding the original estimate, so far, indeed, as to justify the pertinent questions which were asked in Council; questions which necessitated **HIS EXCELLENCY** making an exhaustive inquiry before answering. But the inquiry was thoroughly made, and a full statement of the working and cost of the line was prepared. Thenceforth, the **GOVERNOR** supplied periodical reports in connection with the railway, which were made public, and made frequent visits to satisfy himself as to the progress of the work, his latest being only last week.\n\nBut it is in connection with education that the name of **SIR FREDERICK LUGARD** will stand prominent in the history of the Colony. He it was who conceived the idea of establishing a University here. His early addresses to the scholars of the different schools of the Colony foreshadowed his dream, which was regarded by many as a chimera, and there were not wanting pessimists who sought to stifle the new-born hope. But the speeches went forth to the world through the mouthpiece of the public Press, and thus was the co-operation and practical assistance of **SIR HORMUSJI MODY** and others, whose interest in the Colony is more than transient, secured. And it came to pass that **HIS EXCELLENCY'S** dream developed into a reality. The foundation stone of the Hongkong University has been well and truly laid, and the building is being erected with all seemly haste.\n\nThis article gives but a brief account of **SIR FREDERICK LUGARD'S** stewardship during his sojourn among us. It touches upon some of the principal happenings during his administration, but it by no means exaggerates the extent or the manifold qualities of his work. Truly, he has accomplished much during his three years of labour here; much that will be of lasting benefit to Hongkong, and much that will perpetuate his memory. On the eve of his departure we join in wishing him a happy re-union with **HER EXCELLENCY LADY LUGARD**, a pleasant holiday in England, and a speedy return.\n\nPage 381",

        "content_text": "# The Hongkong Telegraph \n\n## HONGKONG, FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1910. \n\n### \"IS THAT TRUE?\" \n\nYesterday afternoon our Chinese fellow-citizens expressed in fitting and graceful manner their strong appreciation of Sir Frederick Lugard's successful work in this Colony. The Honourable Dr. Ho Kai, CMG., in his speech, went more than the truth when he declared that His Excellency had seen the Colony through the most trying times and had placed it once again on the high road to prosperity and success. It is proverbially difficult to please everybody, but Sir Frederick Lugard has overcome all obstacles, even those which at first sight appeared to be insuperable. Hongkong is not yet out of the financial straits into which, in common with other dependencies of our Empire, it has been driven by the time-serving Nonconformist-conscience-ridden vote-catching policy of a deplorable Government. Everything that could be effected by a clear intellect and resolute will was carried through by the Governor during, perhaps, the worst crisis in the fortunes of this outpost of Empire since first the Union Flag was planted at its shores. Misunderstanding, misrepresentation, and opposition from within and from without hampered and thwarted him at every step, until his consciousness of right and tenacity of purpose triumphed. Here he was blindly accused of being too willing to acquiesce in the extravagancies of the faddist régime at Westminster, and there he was calumniated in Parliament and accused of wilful disobedience to and evasion of the orders of the Imperial Government. It must have been discouraging uphill work for His Excellency, who depended, of course, upon the leading lights in the community for so much - for information first, even for advice, and always for help.\n\nAbout three years ago, when Sir Frederick Lugard fired his inaugural shot by getting the new rifle range at the Peak, and on being informed that he had scored a \"possible,\" he exclaimed: \"Is that true?\" This expression of doubt, disconcerting perhaps to those who arranged such functions, was not, as we remarked at the time, without its significance. A newly-appointed Governor arrives in a Colony where \"his work is cut out for him.\" He is too often apt to accept the views and adopt the policy of his entourage, especially of those who have served his predecessors, and have all details at their fingers' ends. Sometimes these subordinates are men whose insight, sympathy, and breadth of view, joined to their experience, render them of invaluable assistance to the new Chief. Sometimes the latter becomes the signing-machine and the mouthpiece of a fossilized bureaucracy. But not this time. Sir Frederick's exclamation, \"Is that true?\" was, as we rightly surmised, an indication of his mind. Disdaining to see with other men's eyes, he has always insisted on seeing for himself. He has neither disregarded nor worshipped precedent. He has deigned to consider the views of those around him, and has been guided by the path that seemed most wise.\n\nHe found Hongkong in desperate straits, with divergent views and serious disagreement. He had a long, lone furrow to plough. The firmness and high courage with which he carried the new taxation measures, the calm resolution and patient toil with which he set himself personally to investigate the angle of the enormous increase above the estimated expenditure on the Kowloon-Canton Railway, his diligence in carefully and personally working through the nearly fatal typhoon losses are still fresh in the public mind. So many causes for decreased revenue, so many new demands for expenditure. The disaster to the Colony's purse by the loss on opium (without any visible corresponding real advantage), and the decrease in the value of rateable properties caused partly by the enforcement of the Public Health Ordinances of his predecessors, the unsatisfactory state of trade, and the financial losses caused by an appallingly destructive typhoon, had to be met by novel expedients - indeed, experiments. But his singleness of purpose, and the rapidity with which he gathered the threads of the knotted and twisted net of Hongkong affairs, soon convinced all classes that \"his heart was in it.\" It became known that there was no hole-and-corner business with Sir Frederick, who must have everything on a straight basis. His care for the sufferers in the typhoon is especially to be seen in the Taikoo-tsui refuge, which it is hoped will be completed at an early date. His solicitude for the requirements of all is shown in every direction in the prosecution and improvement of public works, no less than in the reduction of expenses. The Tytam reservoir is a great and necessary work which he will not leave unfinished.\n\nThe Chinese and Europeans of the educated classes have been brought nearer by the wise and statesmanlike policy of Government House towards the Chinese under his regime. It is unnecessary here to dilate on the great advances that he has made, and how for the first time the Chinese of the highest class are at last coming into social contact with Europeans of the same social circle, and in the relations of the Government with that of Canton, the finest tact and determination not to disagree have marked His Excellency's administration.\n\nOne of his greatest and most enduring achievements is one noble in its purpose, vast in its ideals, and successful in its steps. How deeply and widely the University of Hongkong will influence China it is hardly daring to prophesy, but it will, without question, become the centre of Western education out here, and the meeting place of the civilised thought of East and West. While Brigadier-General Sir Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, K.C.M.G., C.B., D.S.O., goes home to get that rest to which three of probably the hardest years in his life (harder perhaps than lion-hunting in Nyassa-land or administering Uganda) have richly entitled him, he leaves behind in the stones and spirit of the Hongkong University an imperishable name.\n\n## The Governor's Departure \n\n### HIS ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS \n\n(Special to the \"Hongkong Telegraph.\")\n\nWith the departure on leave to-morrow of Sir Frederick Lugard, the Colony loses temporarily an administrator whose term of service has been marked in more ways than one by the development of its interests and the furtherance of its progress. His Excellency assumed the reins of government on the 25th of July, 1907, in succession to Sir Matthew Nathan. There is a proneness on the part of Crown Colonists to take exception to military Governors, but certainly in the case of our last two Governors, nothing was there to be found fault with. Few Governors of the Colony made themselves more popular or did better work than Major Sir Matthew Nathan. Nor has Brigadier-General Sir Frederick Lugard failed to keep up with the high ideals set by his predecessor. His Excellency carries away with him the best wishes of this community combined with the hope that he will soon be amongst us again in full fettle and in continued good health.\n\nDuring His Excellency's administration, many very important movements connected with Hongkong's welfare have been projected or carried out. When he arrived in the Colony nearly three years ago, it was suffering severely from trade depression and in a financial sense appeared to be verging on bankruptcy.\n\n### ON BANKRUPTCY \n\nThe first consideration, therefore, which our new Governor had to face was the ways and means for the raising of funds. This all-important problem was made more difficult of solution because of the fact that just about that time the Liberal Government had sent out its fiat that the opium traffic had to come to an end. This, of course, meant a big reduction of revenue, for the opium trade had for years represented one of the most productive of Hongkong's feeders of the public purse. Though the stoppage of the opium imports was to be gradual, its effect was immediately felt by the Colonial Treasury, and His Excellency took up the prudent policy of approaching the Colonial Office and demanding that Hongkong should receive compensation for the loss of trade revenue caused by the restrictions put upon her by the Home Government. His representations proved to be so powerful and to the point that guarantees were given of an imperial grant partially to cover the deficit which their opium decree had served to create.\n\nAs it was very happily put in the address presented yesterday by the Chinese Community: \"Since Your Excellency came to give peace in this state, all the business of administration has been carried on by you with success, but you have regarded the development of education and the encouragement of talent as your most important duty, and all your energies and faculties have been devoted to its establishment of a University; now the foundation stone has been duly laid and the magnificent project is on the way to realisation. We feel confident that in the future the result of the education given in the University will fulfil all expectation.\"\n\nCertainly, the greatest project with which Sir Frederick Lugard's name will remain associated for all time is the history of Hongkong - the University scheme. From the very day that he arrived in the Colony, His Excellency lost no opportunity of impressing upon the people that the establishment of a University was one of the most crying needs in our midst. Whilst not belittling by any manner of means the excellence of existing scholastic institutions, he was of the sound and definite opinion that Hongkong required a University of her own. So forcible did his arguments prove that they penetrated to the hearts of all, and now, through the generous liberality of Sir Hormusjee Mody and the Chinese communities of Hongkong and Canton, as well as that of local merchants, we have witnessed the materialisation of Sir Frederick's scheme, which not very far distant date was generally regarded as visionary and impracticable.\n\nSir Frederick Lugard has enjoyed the pleasure of seeing his hopes fulfilled and of himself laying the foundation stone of Hongkong University. It may be that he will yet be occupying the Governorship of the Colony when the time comes for it to be opened, and such a consummation would be entirely fitting and gratifying to all concerned. At the presentation of the Chinese address yesterday, Hon. Dr. Ho Kai expressed the hope that during his sojourn in England, Sir Frederick would be able to obtain still further donations towards the University scheme and its endowment, and His Excellency assured his hearers, with characteristic terseness, that he would do his best, though pointing out at the same time that the matter is one that primarily affects us out here.\n\nBut it is not only in the case of the University that His Excellency has left his distinctive work upon our Colonial administration. To the matter of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, and especially of the British section, he has shown intense interest and endeavour to speed on the work and keep down expenses, which unfortunately have amounted to so much more than the estimates. His Excellency has kept himself in constant touch with the progress of the line and has made many journeys along the track in order to see for himself how things were proceeding. His last visit was made only a few days ago, on which occasion he was accompanied by the principal Government officials. The party traversed the whole route to the boundary by rail, with the exception of No. 4 bridge, which had to be crossed on foot. So that Sir Frederick will be able to report favourably, when he reaches home, upon the constructional progress if not upon the stated costs.\n\nOne could dilate almost endlessly upon the many public measures that have been effected under the aegis of Sir F. Lugard. Space permits of dealing with only a few of the more important. But this article would be incomplete without reference to the financial policy initiated by His Excellency when the funds of the Colonial Exchequer had become depleted and the revenue was still falling. Some bold step was obviously necessary to make ends meet.\n\nPage 383",

S. Addis to Sir F. Campbell.~(Received January 22.)\n\nDear Sir Francis,\n\n31, Lombard Street, London, January 21, 1910. HUKUANG loan. I have just received the French reply, in the form of the enclosed minutes, of the meeting of the French financial group held at Paris on the 14th January.\n\nThe gist of it is the renunciation of any claim to appoint a French engineer on the Hankow-Canton line and the acceptance of the proposed division of the Hankow-Szechuen line into four equal sections, subject to a specific undertaking from China that the extension of the line is to be a reality and not an illusion. Failing such an assurance, the French would push the proposed division to its logical conclusion and insist upon receiving a fourth share of such portion of the line as might actually be obtained for construction.\n\nThere is a safeguarding paragraph to the effect that these minutes are not in their nature decisive, but in a private note M. Simon takes care to tell me that the minutes were framed by M. Caillaux in consultation and agreement with the Quai d'Orsay and M. Cambon.\n\nIt is something to have secured at last a formal acknowledgment from the French of the exclusive British right to appoint an engineer to the Hankow-Canton Railway. It is also a satisfaction to have reduced to terms of equality the preposterous claim of the French to a preferential position on the Hankow-Szechuen. For the rest, America has still to be brought into line before the four Powers can approach the Chinese Government. Nor is it certain that the French will be content with the shadowy undertaking with regard to the extension of the Szechuen Railway, which is all, I am afraid, China is likely to grant. These are considerable, but I trust, not insurmountable difficulties.\n\nYours truly,\n\nC. S. ADDIS.\n\nEnclosure in No. 1,\n\nM. Simon to Mr. C. S. Addis.\n\nCher Mr. Addis,\n\nParis, le 20 janvier, 1910. JE suis heureux de vous adresser ci-inclus copie du procès-verbal de la dernière réunion tenue par le Comité français des Chinese Central Railways (Limited). Sans doute recevrez-vous sous peu communication de ce document par les soins de Mr. Jamieson, à qui copie en a été adressée directement par le secrétaire du Comité français mais j'ai tenu à ce que vous en ayez connaissance le plus tôt possible. J'ajoute pour votre information strictement personnelle--que M. Caillaux s'était, ces derniers jours, mis en plein accord tant avec le Quai d'Orsay qu'avec notre Ambassadeur à Londres, et qu'il a pris soin de rédiger lui-même les parties essentielles du procès-verbal.\n\nVotre bien dévoué.\n\n[2581 y-2]\n\nS. SIMON.",

Mr. Agien expressed the view, on whose authority he did not say, that the Powers individually would have no objection to removing their offices provided each was sure that the others were prepared to do so.\n\nHe did not think that the plan of starting a line of Chinese mail-steamers was likely to mature at present. It would obviously not be worth China's while to run a line of steamers, e.g., from Shanghai to London or Liverpool, though there would be nothing to prevent it if she chose to put up the necessary subsidy. What was more likely was that she would make an experiment on a small scale, e.g., institute a Chinese mail service to Japan, the risks and expense of which would be less formidable. ... gather, however, that this part of the scheme is published for home consumption, and is not intended to be taken too seriously.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nI\n\n3\n\n1913\n\nTo extend third-class post offices to all lesser district and country towns.\n\nTo establish a \"Postal Gazette.\"\n\nTo start postal telegraph drafts.\n\n1914.\n\nTo draw up treaties with the various Powers relative to the insurance of postal matter and remittances.\n\nTo extend the post offices in Mongolia and Thibet.\n\nTo establish machine shops (for the manufacture of post office requirements).\n\n1915.\n\nW.

The head office is in Tokyo, and branches are established in Osaka, Sendai, and Fukuoka. A number of Japanese studying in Germany also belong to it. It is stated that its object is to foster trade relations between Japan and Germany, and bring German manufacturers into direct touch with their Japanese customers; it has already erected in Germany a bureau of information for the use of Japanese visitors, and purposes establishing a permanent trade exhibition of Japanese goods for the benefit of the Japanese export trade to Germany.\n\nAt first sight, it would appear that a welcome aid is being proffered to German traders in their hard struggle against English and American competition on Japanese ground; but on examination, this proves not to be the case. The new \"Committee\" has no such intention. It states guilelessly that it has three other sister committees - one for England, one for America, and one for France, and the names of the same distinguished Japanese personages appear on the Board of each of the \"Committees\". The real object of the association is to establish foreign trade relations abroad to the exclusion of the \"middle-man\". Close observers of conditions as they exist here (Yokohama) doubt as to whether the projected revolution will bring any advantage to the foreign manufacturers and to Japanese trade. In any case, it seems certain that the pressure exercised by the Japanese to drive the foreign merchant from the country does not proceed from any practical commercial view, but simply out of a spirit of opposition to foreigners in general. Some of the foreign mercantile houses established in Japan have existed for over a generation, others for over half a century.\n\nA firm of German manufacturers, in fact, one of the most...",

        "content_text": "# THE OPIUM EVIL.\n\nThe one nation which has not been vitally affected by the international movement initiated by the United States is the United States itself, except in the Philippines. In the islands, there are model antinarcotic laws; but, in spite of repeated urging by the Executive, the Congress so far has failed favorably to consider carefully drafted measures aimed to bring the continental United States into line and in accord with the principles now embraced by the International Opium Convention. A good beginning was made by the Federal Government, as may be seen by reference to the opium act approved February 9, 1909. This act is imperfect—the only effect which it could possibly have being to prevent the legal importation into the United States of the vicious form of opium known as opium prepared for smoking.\n\nThe Federal Government legalized the importation of the latter form of opium by the tariff act of 1860, and from that year until the opium-exclusion act became effective on April 1, 1909, there were legally imported into the United States over 4,000,000 pounds of this debasing form of the drug on which the Government collected a customs tax of nearly $27,000,000. In addition to the legal importation from 1860 onward, almost half as much again of this form of opium is supposed to have been smuggled into the United States. The evils, economic as well as moral, associated with the importation and use of this form of the drug cannot be accurately computed, but what might be fairly called an underestimate of them was set forth in the report made on behalf of the American delegates to the International Opium Commission. (`S. Doc. No. 377, 61st Cong., 2d sess.`)\n\nJust prior to the assembling of the International Opium Commission at Shanghai in February, 1909, it became apparent to the Department of State that the American Government had invited the cooperation of 12 nations to mitigate or suppress the opium evil as seen in Far Eastern countries, but had failed to recognize that it had legalized the importation of that form of the drug which had been most baneful in its effect on the people of China and of other Asiatic States.\n\nIt was at once seen that it would be quite impossible for the American commissioners to appear at Shanghai until the Federal Government had taken some step toward a house cleaning. This was promptly done in part by the passage of the so-called opium-exclusion act just after the International Commission had convened.\n\nAnimated by the example of the Federal Government, some 30 of the States have improved the intrastate legislation aimed to confine narcotics to legitimate uses, but since February 9, 1909—the date of approval of the just mentioned act—no further decided congressional action has been taken, and the United States is now in the position, after having received the cordial cooperation of 12 powers, of being far behind in the movement to accomplish the purpose to which the American Government set itself in the autumn of 1906, when the first steps were taken to secure such cooperation.\n\n## \n\nThere is no doubt that during the sittings of the International Opium Conference at The Hague the American delegation was placed in a somewhat embarrassing position owing to the neglect of the Congress to pass legislation which had been urged upon it by the executive, aimed to perfect the opium exclusion act of February, 1909, and to bring under efficient control the export and interstate commerce in opium and other habit-forming drugs. Both formally and informally, it was pointed out to the American delegates at that conference that the other nations could have little hope for a final suppression of the opium and allied evils by international action so long as the United States, which had initiated the movement, failed to adopt the standard of national control in vogue in several European nations and in Japan.\n\nThree bills with this purpose in view have been urged upon Congress since March, 1910. They are entitled as follows:\n\n(a) A bill to amend an act entitled \"An act to prohibit the importation and use of opium for other than medicinal purposes,\" approved February 9, 1909;\n\n(b) A bill to amend the act of October 1, 1890 (`26 Stat., p. 1567`) regulating the manufacture of smoking opium within the United States;\n\n(c) A bill imposing a tax upon and regulating the production, manufacture, and distribution of certain habit-forming drugs;\n\nA fourth bill has been designed to carry out the pledges of this Government as contained in resolutions 8 and 9 of the International Opium Commission and as now pledged by this Government by virtue of article 16 of the International Opium Convention. The title of that bill is as follows:\n\n(d) A bill to regulate the practice of pharmacy and the sale of poisons in the consular districts of the United States in China.\n\nThe bills (a), (b), (c), were drafted after a wide consultation with all the interests likely to be affected (see `S. Doc. No. 377, 61st Cong., 2d sess.`). They have the general support of the pharmacy boards of the different States of the Union which are charged with the enforcement under the police power of the States, of the State acts for the regulation of pharmacy and the sale of narcotics; of the legislative committee of the National Retail Druggists' Association; and of the legislative committee of the National Wholesale Druggists' Association.\n\nSince the adjournment of the International Opium Conference on the 23d of last January, these bills (a), (b), and (c), have been carefully revised by a joint committee composed of representatives of the Department of State and of the Treasury Department, and their speedy consideration has been urged upon the Congress by the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury. Finally, it may be stated that the President has commended to Congress, with his approval, the legislation in question.\n\nFirst. By a message transmitting from the Secretary of State a report on the International Opium Commission and on the opium problem as seen within the United States and its possessions (`S. Doc. No. 377, 61st Cong., 2d sess.`);\n\nSecond. In his annual message to the Congress, December 7, 1910;\n\nThird. In a special message to the Congress, transmitting a report of the Secretary of State relative to the control of the opium traffic (`S. Doc. No. 736, 61st Cong., 3d sess.`); and\n\nFourth. In his message on foreign relations, communicated to the two Houses of Congress December 7, 1911.\n\nIt has been pointed out above that the United States had collected in customs duties, from 1860 until April 1, 1909, nearly $27,000,000 from the legalized importation of that vicious form of opium known as opium prepared for smoking, and that the use of this drug within the United States had caused an economic and moral degradation which could not be accurately computed.",

        "content_text": "# SOTTO CASE\n## 299 THE DEFENDANT DISCHARGED\n### \"1 SUCCEEDS ON THE PLEA OF RES JUDICATA\n\nof the crime of abduction at Cebu. United States.\n\nWith regard to Section 16 and which had each of won in 1821 as made by Congress, all the military civil and judicial powers exercised by the officers of the existing Government should be vested in such persons and exercised in such manner as the President should direct. The Act of Congress with respect to Florida passed on March 30th, 1822, Congress passed the Act establishing a territorial Government in Florida (chapter 13 of the first session of the 17th Congress). Florida continued to be a territory until 1845, when it was admitted to the Union. Roughly speaking, in the case in which the Government of a foreign Colony is in a British Colony, there is an express distinction made by the Act. The section is so drafted that it seems doubtful whether the requisition could be made to the Secretary of State by the diplomatic representative in England.\n\nThe marginal note to this paragraph is \"Foreign Colonies,\" and Sir Francis Piggott makes it very clear that the words in Section 25 \"every Colony, dependency, and constituent part of a Foreign State\" refer to Foreign Colonies. The Philippine Islands were first acquired from Spain by military occupation and finally by the Treaty of Paris. After the Treaty of Paris and until March 2nd, 1901, the source of Government in the Philippines was the President of the United States. On the last date Congress passed an Act by way of a proviso in an Appropriation Bill, chapter 803 of the 56th Congress, which is commonly known as the Spooner Amendment, providing that all military, civil and judicial powers necessary to govern the Philippines should until otherwise provided by Congress be vested in such persons and exercised in such manner as the President should direct.\n\nAt this point, I would call attention to the fact that while the Treaty of Friendship of 1819 provided for the future admission to citizenship of the inhabitants of Florida, the Treaty of Paris specifically left the determination of civil rights and political status of the native inhabitants of the ceded territory to Congress. On July 1st, 1902, an Act was approved temporarily to provide for the administration of the affairs of Civil Government in the Philippine Islands and for other purposes (chapter 1369 of the first session of the 57th Congress). The Philippines are still governed under the provisions of that Act.\n\nThe defendant, Vicente Sotto, was charged before me under the Extradition Act 1870 of being convicted of the commission of the crime of abduction at Cebu in the Philippine Islands within the jurisdiction of the United States of America. Mr. Hodgson, Crown Solicitor, appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Brutton for the defence. At the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Brutton, solicitor for the defendant, applied for the discharge of the defendant on the grounds that the Crown had not made out their case against the defendant.\n\nThe first ground alleged was that the prosecution had not proved that the Philippine Islands were a constituent part of the United States. The second point was that the documents were not properly authenticated. The third was that there was no evidence of an extraditable crime, and the fourth was that under Section 6 of the Habeas Corpus Act the matter was res judicata. The fifth point was that the Orders in Council have not been proved. This last point was afterwards abandoned by the defence.\n\nI should here mention that the present defendant was charged in April, 1912, with respect to extradition proceedings. The offence, which was that of abduction, was exactly the same as the present charge. It was held with respect to the Magistrate (Mr. E. A. Irving) made an order committing him. The defendant was then brought up on a Writ of Habeas Corpus and discharged by the Full Court. The case is reported in the Hongkong Law Reports, Vol. VII., p.139.\n\n## Evidence Given at the Trial\nMr. T. C. Welsh, Assistant Executive Secretary of the Philippine Islands, was called as a witness for the prosecution. His evidence as to the political status of the Philippine Islands in relation to the United States was as follows:\n\nThe Federal Republic, originally consisting of thirteen individual States which was sovereign and all of which at the time of the adoption of the Constitution were united in a confederacy, the central government of which operated only upon the States and not upon the citizens. By the adoption of the constitution a central government was formed which the individual States yielded their attributes of sovereignty with respect to foreign relations and to some extent with respect to their relations with each other, each retaining its sovereignty with respect to the regulation of its internal affairs.\n\nBy the constitution also the Federal Government obtained full powers and direct sovereignty over the citizens of the several States. About the time that the constitution was adopted there was ceded by the several States to the United States a large amount of territory the title to which was claimed by the States. By the constitution the Congress was given power to regulate and govern the territory and other property of the United States and also the power to declare war. The treaty making power was placed in the hands of the President subject to confirmation by the Senate, which is the Upper House of Congress.\n\nCongress has from time to time provided various forms of government for the territory which I have mentioned as well as for other territory which had come into the possession of the United States by treaty or by the voluntary offer of the inhabitants of such territory. The instances of this are sufficiently numerous to have established a customary rule of practice with regard to the treatment of such territory. The case of Florida, which was instanced in the cross-examination of Mr. Anderson, furnishes an early example of the practice which has obtained.\n\nIn that case, after the cession by Spain the President succeeded the King of Spain as the source of government until such time as Congress should exercise its constitutional function of providing a Government of its own devising further in accordance with the United States Constitution and the Treaty, which provided that the inhabitants should be admitted to the privileges of citizens of the United States.\n\nI would call attention to the fact that while the Treaty of Paris specifically left the determination of civil rights and political status of the native inhabitants of the ceded territory to Congress. Congress has among other things legislated as to the status of the inhabitants of the Philippines, granting them what is called Philippine citizenship and authorising the naturalisation into Philippine citizenship; it has extended to the Philippines most of the provisions of the Bill of Rights and has extended other constitutional provisions.\n\nBy Exhibit 13 it extended to the Philippine Islands the provisions of the Revised Statutes with respect to extradition between the United States and foreign countries, and it follows that the provision of Article VI. of the Constitution, respecting the force of treaties, are in vigour in the Philippines at least to the extent of extradition.\n\nMr. Brutton first referred me to Section 25 of the Act. Section 25 of the Act is as follows:- \"25.-For the purpose of this Act, every colony, dependency, and constituent part of a foreign State, and every vessel of that State, shall (except where expressly mentioned as distinct in this Act) be deemed to be within the jurisdiction of and to be part of such foreign State.\"\n\nMr. Brutton then stated \"The Philippine Islands are not a Colony or dependency, therefore the prosecution must prove that the Philippine Islands are a constituent part of the United States.\" Mr. Anderson, Consul General of the United States, had given evidence to the effect that the Philippine Islands were neither a dependency nor a Colony.\n\nThe question which I have to decide is what is the construction to be placed on Section 25 of the Act, and also what is its scope and object. I am of opinion that the words Colony, dependency and constituent part of a Foreign State refer to dependencies and to dependencies alone and do not refer in any way to the parent Foreign State.\n\nIf you look at the last line of the section we find these words \"to be part of such Foreign State.\" If the words \"constituent part of a Foreign State\" referred to the parent Foreign State it would not be deemed to be part of such Foreign State. The scope and object of the section is to make it quite clear that an Foreign State includes dependencies.\n\nSir Francis Piggott in his work on Extradition refers to Section 25 in three places, on pages 164, 166 and 179. Pages 164 and 166 refer to that portion of Section 25 which relates to foreign ships. The first paragraph, on page 179 is, as follows:-\n\n## Evidence of Consul General Anderson\nOn cross-examination on the 16th June, 1913: \n\n...\n\nPage 300\nPage 301",

        "content_text": "# seems little doubt that milder measures would have failed to accomplish the desired end. The sudden and sweeping character of the repressive campaign must be accepted as proof of the determination of the Hunan authorities to justify their claim to a place on the free list.\n\nFrom Changsha to Paoching, which is roughly in the centre of the province, the whole party travelled together. With the permanent escort provided by the Provincial Government, the local escorts from the various prefectures, and the porters necessary for so large a party, we often numbered as many as 200 men. It was evident that it would be impossible to accommodate and feed so large a party on the small roads, and, when we separated at Paoching, I felt bound to insist on a substantial reduction in the retinue. The murder of two opium deputies at Hsu-pu last year, and the constant skirmishes between the soldiers and the farmers had made the authorities genuinely anxious for our safety. We had no trouble from the people, however, throughout the journey, and our only anxiety was the feeding, even of a small party, in many of the remoter districts.\n\nThe Miaos gave no sign of the unfriendliness against which we had been so gravely warned by the officials. They are an unusually fine race of men and women, of good physique and with pleasant open faces. They retain their own language and customs, and their tribal ornaments, but their dress differs little from that of the Chinese. They are the most prosperous and the most civilised of the tribesmen whom I have met in China, and although they give constant trouble to the Chinese, and resent their interference and their attempts at administration, it was evident that they were well disposed towards us as foreigners. Their villages are built in commanding positions on the very crests of the hills, and they are picturesque, well built, and defiant, in striking contrast to the hidden villages of the tribesmen further west. A line of forts and blockhouses has been built by the Chinese to command the roads and to keep open communications, and they are now endeavouring to secure moral hold over the tribesmen by founding a regiment of them, in which the men have insisted on the appointment of Miao officers.\n\nThere is a tendency for the Chinese to intermarry with Miao women, and, as is generally the case in union between the Chinese and a cognate race, the children are particularly fine specimens both physically and mentally. I imagine that Hunan owes much of its prosperity and individuality to the Miao blood, which is evidently the aboriginal stock of the country.\n\nThe greater part of Southern and Western Hunan consists of a plateau of about 1,500 feet, broken by mountain peaks of great grandeur and beauty. Forests of pine and fir cover the mountain sides, the passes are from 3,000 to 5,000 feet in height, and at this season of the year the country is intersected by countless torrents, bordered by a wealth of flowers, with rhododendrons, azaleas, and many flowering shrubs. For only two days were we free of rain, which fell almost incessantly, making the steep tracks difficult and dangerous. In spite of constant fever, arising no doubt from the continual damp and the exhausting marches, the porters and soldiers were willing and good tempered, and the Hunanese are a fine sturdy race with whom it is a pleasure to travel. The mountain roads link up a line of scattered villages surrounded by fields of rice, wheat, rape, buckwheat, and hemp. The villages have an architectural beauty which never ceases to astonish one in these remote and thinly-peopled regions. The timbered farm-houses, the graceful bridges, and fine ancestral halls in their setting of golden rape flowers against dark rocks and pines, show a skill in construction and an artistic perception amongst these farmers of Hunan which marks them with an individuality all their own. Farmers by tradition and inheritance, they have given to China a line of scholars, engineers, administrators, and Empire builders of whom they are justly proud. Their fierce resistance to any foreign encroachment on their province and their rights has created an impression of an anti-foreign sentiment among the people. In the course of our tour, however, we were welcomed every evening by the representative men of the villages, and they seemed to me friendly, interested, and intelligent, with a directness of mind and expression which is unusual among the Chinese.\n\nThe evidence of independent travellers tends to show that opium has not been produced near the towns or along the main roads of Hunan for several years past, but official proclamations and the provincial press have admitted the failure of the authorities to clear these outlying mountain villages, where transport is difficult, and a light easily-carried commodity such as opium is produced. The Hunanese farmer, moreover, is an independent and vigorous personality, and it was evident to us that he would make a definite struggle against official interference unless it was backed by overwhelming force. The campaign against the poppy has been well organised and effective; a line of garrisons has been stretched along the whole of the southern and western borders; groups of five families have been bound together for preventive purposes with a bond of mutual responsibility under heavy penalties; the teachers in the Government schools now existing in every rural community have been charged with opium-intelligence work as part of their official duties; and numbers of deputies have scoured the country offering rewards for every poppy plant produced by informers. In the Paoching district 5 dollars a root was offered last season, and the fact that the reward was never claimed appeared to prove the prefecture free of poppy. In Kwei-yang Hsien the reward had to be reduced to 1 cash a plant owing to the numbers brought in, but even here a careful examination by Mr. King failed to reveal any crops at harvest time this year.\n\nThroughout the southern and western districts also the military operations have been successful in clearing the country, though the campaign has been accompanied by cruelty and corruption. The evidence all pointed to the fact that the poppy had been sown in small patches over an extensive area, but that the total amount under cultivation was inconsiderable. The fact that few fields were lying fallow appeared to me to prove that the uprooted opium crops could not have covered very much ground, and that the harvest would have had very little effect on the general market even in the province itself. Even the steep hillsides were planted with wood-oil trees of from two to four years' growth, showing that the main campaign against the poppy had taken place several seasons ago. In some places, where the campaign of destruction had been so hurried that there had not been time to uproot all the crops, the water had been let into the fields, and the poppy plants were serving as a somewhat extravagant fertiliser for the ensuing rice crops.\n\nAs to the use of opium, it was difficult to obtain precise information, for we were accompanied by large escorts, which were inclined to hamper our free intercourse with the people. Many of the local soldiers, however, had taken part in the preventive campaigns, and their personal experiences proved an interesting commentary on the accounts of the officials. A number of smokers, both men and women, have undoubtedly been executed in different parts of the province, but I could obtain no exact information as to the numbers of victims in the western area, and I think that the campaign in that part of the province has been conducted on broad lines rather than against individuals, and that it has been mainly concerned with the destruction of the crops.\n\nThe Republican officials are generally young men who have been educated in Japan, and few, if any, of them indulge in opium smoking. The soldiers also appear to be quite free from the habit, and in their case the beneficial results of freedom from the drug are beyond all question. In some of the larger centres, notably in Hung-chiang and Shen-chou-fu, large numbers of the people have the opium complexion, but we were unable to obtain any direct evidence of smoking or of the use of opium pills, and the penetrating smell of the drug, once so common in the inns and on the boats, was entirely absent. Opium pills could not be bought by our party in any of the towns or villages through which we passed, nor could they obtain opium. There is little doubt that considerable numbers of the population still use the drug in one form or another, but the sale is always attended with difficulty and danger, and it is only supplied to those who are well known. The price is so high too, ranging from three dollars an ounce in Hung-chiang and Shen-chou to nine dollars in Changsha, that it is far beyond the means of the masses.\n\nI learned from men who were coming in from the neighbouring provinces that opium can still be freely grown and used immediately across the Kueichow border, and that numbers of Hunan coolies prefer to remain in that province, where the scale of wage is lower than in Hunan, rather than abandon the use of the drug, which is of very real service to those engaged in hard manual labour under trying climatic conditions. The abolition of opium would doubtless benefit China in many ways, but an experience of travelling in many provinces in the interior convinces me that it will be a very real loss to the over-burdened carrying coolie and the worker in the wet paddy fields. This last journey was certainly one of unusual hardship for our caravan, owing to the bad weather and the difficult roads, but I have never seen so much suffering among the porters, who arrived day after day at the end of their long marches wet and cold and too exhausted to sleep or eat without some simple stimulant. They used the country liquor as an alternative to opium, but there can be little question that it is more expensive, more deleterious, and less effective as a remedy than the pipe of opium to which they have been accustomed, and which has not prevented the coolie of the interior from pursuing an active life to a ripe and healthy old age.",

Pellet, the French delegate, and Mr. Lloyd Bryce, the American delegate, made short speeches expressing the thanks of their colleagues to Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands and to the Government for the hospitality extended to us, and to M. Cremer, our president, for the zeal, patience, and impartiality with which he had conducted the business of our sessions. M. Cremer, in replying, paid a well-deserved tribute to the valuable assistance received from our honorary president, M. van Swinderen, Netherland Minister for Foreign Affairs.\n\nM. van Swinderen said a few words congratulating the delegates on the progress made towards the goal which they had set before them, and accepted on behalf of the Netherland Government the fresh task which they had been invited to undertake and in the execution of which they would count on the active support of the signatory Governments. He then declared the Conference closed.\n\nTo the superficial observer it might perhaps appear that little had been achieved by the Second Opium Conference, but a closer comparison of the position of affairs as they were at the close of the first Conference with the present situation will show that such a conclusion is unwarranted. At the close of the first Conference twelve Powers had signed a convention to regulate the trade in opium, morphia, and cocaine, but had simultaneously come to the conclusion that there could be no idea of any practical enforcement of the provisions of that convention without first securing the co-operation of numerous Governments who had not even been represented at the Conference. At present the position is far different; a large majority of the Governments of the world have signed the convention, several have already signified their readiness to ratify, and only a very small minority, though representing powerful interests, have decided to postpone ratification, in the hope of first securing the co-operation of the Governments which have not yet signed.\n\nIn our report on the work of the first Conference, we claimed to have established a new principle of international morality in laying down that, in regard to the traffic in these harmful drugs, it was not sufficient for a particular State to take measures for the protection of its own subjects, but that it must also assist the efforts of other countries by organising international control over the traffic in these drugs; but we pointed out that, in order to give adequate effect to this principle, a substantial degree of unanimity among the nations of the world as to the measures to be adopted was essential. We now claim that a long step has been made towards the attainment of that unanimity. The second Conference has served to review the international position and accelerate the pace.\n\nOur instructions were to direct our efforts to securing the co-operation of the signatory Governments in such measures as, in the opinion of the delegates, were most likely to induce those countries which, for one reason or another, had not yet signed,\n\n* TRANSLATION.—“That if the signature of all the Powers invited in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 23 be not obtained by the 31st December, 1913, the Government of the Netherlands do immediately invite the signatory Powers to appoint delegates to proceed to The Hague to examine the possibility of putting in force the International Opium Convention of the 23rd January, 1912.”\n\n9\n\nto sign the convention without further delay, and thus enable His Majesty's Government to ratify. A perusal of the final protocol will, we think, show that we have succeeded in carrying out our instructions to the letter. It would nevertheless be idle to disguise the fact that the refusal of His Majesty's Government to ratify, there and then, was a cause of great disappointment to many of the delegates. We venture, however, to point out that the position is already different from what it was when His Majesty's Government decided that the question of ratification must be postponed. After the summoning of the Conference, but before the opening of its sessions, Chile and Nicaragua had signed; during the Conference Uruguay intimated its intention of signing, though it has not as yet done so, while since its close, according to information received from the Netherland Government, Peru, whose abstention was so fatal to any effective control of the cocaine trade, has come into line; and, more recently, Norway and Sweden have also signed the convention. This reduces the number of non-signatory Powers to nine, viz., Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, Roumania, Servia, Switzerland, Turkey, and Uruguay, and of these six have certainly had more vitally important questions to occupy them lately than the regulation of the international trade in certain noxious drugs. There is therefore, we consider, every indication that matters will soon have reached a stage which will justify His Majesty's Government in altering their attitude and ratifying the convention.\n\nM. van Swinderen, in his closing speech, referred to the disappearance of all doubt as to the sincerity of the individual intentions entertained by the Governments concerned as being the great forward step made by the Conference, and he further expressed his conviction that the task of civilisation to which the Conference had devoted its energies would be realised in its widest conception. We sincerely hope, nay, we have every reason to believe, that events will justify M. van Swinderen's confidence. There may be delays and disappointments yet to be encountered; several Powers have still to ratify before the putting into force of the convention; there will then be further difficulties to be surmounted in regard to the enactment of the legislative and other measures entailed, and finally there will be the fixing of the date for the enforcement of those measures. Time must elapse before this final stage is reached, but, without wishing to be unduly optimistic, we may at least say that there seems every indication that we have reached a point from which we cannot go back, but are bound to go forward till the work that the Powers which framed the convention set before them is finally accomplished.\n\nIn view of the fact that the putting into force of the convention by Great Britain must necessitate the enactment of entirely new legislation in respect of the drugs which are the subject of the convention, it would appear desirable that the Department concerned should have in preparation a Bill to give effect to the provisions therein laid down, in anticipation of the next and subsequent stages which must follow upon the deposit of ratification, which has already commenced.\n\nBefore closing, there is one further point to which we wish to draw attention. In the list, which accompanied our instructions, of the dominions, colonies, dependencies, and protectorates of His Majesty which have refused to sign the convention, we noticed the names of the Union of South Africa, of several of our West Indian colonies, and of British Guiana and British Honduras. The question of the signature of the British colonies was not mentioned at the Conference, and the abstention of those figuring in the above-mentioned list may not, perhaps, be considered to have the same importance as, for instance, the abstention of French Cochin-China, to which we have already referred. Nevertheless it is evident that so long as colonies possessing important ports such as those mentioned above, which could be used for the unrestricted transhipment of opium, morphia, and cocaine to neighbouring countries, refuse to be bound by the provisions of the Opium Convention in regard to the international trade in those drugs, we lay ourselves open to the same criticism that we have applied to the refusal of the other countries to sign, namely, that the abstention of those colonies must prove prejudicial to the full and effective enforcement of international measures for the suppression of the illicit trade in opium, morphia, and cocaine.\n\nFinally, we wish again to give public expression to our grateful sense of the obligation under which the Netherland Government have laid all the Governments interested in this humanitarian work, not only by affording us the opportunity of meeting together for discussion, but also for so readily undertaking for the second time the task of securing further signatures to the convention.

Our office is at the same old place and we still can write our name to a receipt. Don't crowd.\n\nThe war news from the front has been quiet lately. The French news censor licked the English news censor for trying to cop all the glory. General Joffre says that the French are tired of doing all the fighting and having the English claim all the credit.\n\nGeneral French has lost his powder puff. There will be a suspension of hostilities until a new one arrives from London.\n\nThe Portuguese army surrendered in a body yesterday to a corporal and seven men of the German army. They will be put to work making tamales for the export trade.\n\n## Advertisements\n\n**GORDON & Co's DRY GIN DISTILLERY, LONDON. APRIL 1, 1917**\n\nT. Graydon Moody has won the championship mile race at the International Athletic Meet at Dublin.\n\nCarl Hess called at the office last week and wanted to know if he owed anything. We got a dollar out of him on account.\n\nBacoor is now the most orderly town in the islands at the present time. The town received a thorough purification some years ago.\n\nThe Ananias Club of the Philippines held its regular annual meeting at Clarke's Saturday last and awarded the prizes for the three best liars in the islands. One went to Henry De Wolff and the other two were awarded to Joe Wolfson.\n\nThe Czar of Russia has conferred the Double Cross on his Imperial Allies King George of England and President Poincaré of France.\n\nJapan is trying to make an alliance with Germany and says that she is willing that, besides ceding back Kiaochau, Singapore and Hongkong should be turned over to the Germans.\n\n## O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915\n\nNo. 50\n\nA number of prominent British citizens called at this office last night, but as we were entertaining a delegation of friends from the Caloocan Turn Verein and the Malabon Lodge A. O. H., they did not come in. We tried to persuade them to stay and promised them lots of fun, but they said they were out of training.\n\nMcCulloch Dick was arrested last night on the Escolta for masquerading in false attire. Dick had got himself up as a neutral.\n\nBy means of our own private wireless, we learn from the trenches in Europe that while the soldier boys appreciate the sacks and sweaters and scarfs and bands and such things the women are knitting for them, they would also like to have some one knit for (or otherwise produce) certain other things. Why not knit the boys a good pipe and package of tobacco? Why not knit them plenty of cigarette paper and tobacco? Why not knit them a lot of matches in waterproof match boxes? Why not knit them a few cans of beef extract for hot broth while they are in the trenches? Why not knit them a supply of stationery and pencils for writing home? And a lot of the brave boys would like to have some shattered bones knit for them. Why not knit them a few mending outfits?\n\n**GORDON'S Dry & Old Tom Gin**\n\nBest for Cocktails, Rickeys, Fizzes, etc.\nTake no Substitute\n\n**Kuenzle & Streiff. Ltd**\n343-347 SAN JACINTO\n\n**O'CONNELL'S, January 30, 1915**\n\n## Carnival Opens\n\nA Hint To Mack\n\nWe have received a copy of the new \"Agricultural\" monthly edited by that famed Kansas expert Mark Cretcher. We think that too much of the bureau's appropriation has been spent in paper and ink. If Mr. Cretcher would follow Cyclone Jim's plan and get out and try and make something of value come out of the ground, he would show more real intelligence and be of more value to the people. Incidentally, he would be less criticised. If Mr. Cretcher does not know anything about coconuts, he might start a bean farm or something of the sort. Cretcher has been roasted to a frazzle and from all reports, he is a very decent fellow. He perhaps needs the job he is at present holding and we have no objection to his staying on the payroll. We think, however, that he should stop fooling and get down to real business.\n\nToday is the day. Manila is in fiesta garb and worry and care have been shelved that revelry and merry-making may reign supreme. The big Carnival of 1915 is on and when the great carnival parade winds through the streets of the gay capital this afternoon, it will mark the opening of this famed celebration for which the Philippines are known all over the wide world. Already confetti is being scattered over our sidewalks and pathways, already the maskers are seen mixing with the laborers and the tradesmen. At eight tonight, the only people in the town who will be working will be the policemen, the car-conductors, and the engineers in the light and ice-making plants. Everybody else will be bound for the gay white city on the Luneta to partake in the merriment and have a good time. The carnival city is more beautiful this year than ever before and the Hubbub is full of wonderful attractions from Coney Island and other pleasure resorts. The big ball which will open the carnival this evening is the Devil's Raising Ball and the crowd that attends generally does it. It's merry hell long about midnight. Some elegant costumes will be worn at the ball this year, say the modistes, and it will be worth the price of admission to those who do not dance to go and look on. There will be lots of good things to eat and drink on the carnival grounds. Come early and stay long. Make this the best Carnival we have ever had.\n\nHe Was A Yid\n\nMacfarlane, the Insular Lumber Company manager, tells a story of a Jew soldier in the German army who had accomplished some gallant deed on the field of battle and had been mentioned for the Iron Cross. The Kaiser was present at the town when the Iron Cross was to be presented and decided to make the presentation himself. He asked if the Jew was a man of family and was told that he had a wife and six children and was quite poor. The Kaiser, thinking that the Jew might better appreciate a gift of money, asked him when he was brought up, whether he would rather have the Iron Cross or a hundred marks. The Jew said, \"Your Highness, what is the value of the Iron Cross?\" The Kaiser replied that it was worth a couple of marks, whereupon the Jew said, \"Well, Your Highness, I will take the Iron Cross and 98 marks.\" Mac does not say what the Jew got.\n\nDiscovered\n\nProfessor Waters has been discovered by the daily press. They are certainly getting wise to this Kansas faker at a pretty late day. Waters should be prosecuted by the Philippine government for estafa.\n\nThe man who flooded the German position on the Yser, says a cablegram, has been decorated with the Order of King Leopold. What's that, a rubber medal?\n\nThe entrance of Portugal into the conflict somehow reminds us of the By assisting old man Noah's elephant up the ark's gangplank.\n\nIt seems about time now for the employment of a couple of real tropical agriculturists in the bureau. Why not give Prautch and Lyons a show? Governor-General Harrison has made it pretty evident to everyone in the islands that he has some backbone and wants to do the right thing. He should compel the agricultural bureau to stop wasting its funds and commence to get results.\n\n## Portugal And The War\n\nThe resignation of the Portuguese cabinet was first announced on December 6th, 1914.\n\n...according to a dispatch received here from Lisbon, as stated in an official cablegram received by the German Consul here; but the same was not acknowledged and accepted by Reuter until January 26th, 1915, when he announced the fact in a cablegram dated London, January 25th.\n\nAnd there are still people who declare that the German news-service - official as well as unofficial--is badly informed and brings only faked news.\n\nThere has been so much talk about Portugal being on the brink of war against Germany and of sending an army to the aid of the allies, but we never heard anything of the accomplished fact.\n\nNow this wonder is cleared up.\n\nIt was on the Spanish mail between Hongkong and Singapore; on board were some Portuguese officers heading home from Macau. They were a miserable-looking lot. Their sadness caused the compassion of their fellow-passengers. One of these, a Spanish merchant, asking them for the reason of their sadness, whether or not they did not like to go to war, received this answer: \"We are longing for the war as we are soldiers, but say, isn't it a pity, thrice we sent a declaration of war to Germany but never even a confirmation of receipt.\"\n\nGermany has more to do than to acknowledge little Portugal's war-declarations!\n\n## Advertisements\n\n### THE CARNIVAL NEEDS That Ten Pesos YOU NEED A LITTLE FUN\n\n**RICHTER'S DRY GOODS STORE**\n114-116 ESCOLTA\n\n| Corsets        | Description                                                                                   |\n|----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| AMERICAN LADY  | The Corset that braces, buoys up woman and beautifies the modern through the active hours...  |\n| MADAME LYRA    | ...soft, light and pliant- yielding to every demand of the wearer.                           |\n\n**E.

        "content_text": "## Attorney General's Chambers,\nHongkong, 30th December, 1915.\n\nGentlemen,\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 21st December I am instructed to say that the Hongkong Government do not propose to offer any objection to your sending the circular in question to any shareholders in your company who are alien subjects, if you are in a position to communicate with them, or their attorneys, and that in any case the Government propose to offer no objection to your reserving the proper number of new shares for any such shareholders.\n\nI would point out that the prohibition against trading with the enemy applies only \n(a) to persons resident or carrying on business in an enemy country or in territory in hostile occupation, and \n(b) to persons of enemy nationality resident or carrying on business in China, Siam, Persia or Morocco.\n\nThis excludes Messrs. Jobann, Dattan and Hermeling from the category of persons in the trading sense. It would appear from your list to exclude Mr. Spalkhaver also, but his latest address appears to be an address in Germany. I may say that Mr. Dattan has claimed to be of Russian nationality, though he has furnished no proof in support of his claim.\n\nThe affairs of Messrs. Speidel & Co., the Union Rice Mill, and the Orient Rice Mill, are being wound up by liquidators appointed by the Courts of French Indo-China, and there is no objection on the part of this Government to your offering the new shares to those liquidators.\n\nI am not in a position to express any opinion as to the nationality of the persons entitled under the will of Mrs. Lucie I. C. Xionias. Here again, the Government have no objection to the offer or reservation of the new shares.\n\nIn view of the above you will no doubt consider your position and obligations towards the shareholders in question and will consult your legal advisers as to what course you should take.\n\nI only wish to add that the legal position of shareholders who are divided by the line of war from the company in which they hold shares is a question of much uncertainty, and that this uncertainty and the serious question of policy which is also involved are the reasons which have led the Government to take up the attitude which they have adopted in the matter.\n\nYours faithfully,\n(Ed.) J. H. Kemp,\nAttorney General.\n\nThe Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Co. Ltd.,\nHongkong.",

        "content_text": "## of her own dignity. She is not content any longer to be the child in the nurse's arms. Indians are showing themselves as men in Europe, and they want to be given the freedom of men in India.'' \n\nThere is a Canada Building in Bombay. Canadian insurance and other companies are doing increasing business in India. There are many Canadians in the civil, military, and other services in India. The Presbyterian, Baptist, and Anglican churches have missions in that country. \n\nThey spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. They own land, school and college buildings, hospitals, and printing establishments, etc., and they are one and all treated with respect and toleration. But in Canada, it is otherwise. Ministerial Associations, Boards of Trade, Women's Councils, even City Councils (who, by the way, are kept up by the Sikhs' taxes as well as those of the other citizens), not to speak of political and other organizations too numerous to mention, have passed anti-Hindu resolutions. In the beginning of 1908, the B.C. Legislature passed the Natal Act to exclude the Sikhs, but it was vetoed by the Dominion. \n\nWhen anti-Hindu agitation was first set going, a correspondent of the London Times, after observation on the spot, wrote from Vancouver to that paper on 26th Oct., 1907, \"These people, the Hindus, are being treated with an injustice which is simply shocking. It would appear that a mot d'ordre has been passed that every possible means should be adopted to keep them out, and in consequence, the immigration officials have been excluding them on the flimsiest excuses. The result has been that the steamship companies refuse to carry any more Hindu emigrants to British Columbia, and that the anti-Asiatic element here believes that, so far as the Hindus are concerned, the battle has been won and the problem solved.\" That was over seven years ago, and the problem is still as far from solution as ever. \n\nSome friends put forward the argument that Hindus will not assimilate. But what is the case with Jews, Italians, Bulgarians, Ruthenians, Doukhobors, and others? Do they assimilate with Canadians readily? Surely, assimilation does not mean dull uniformity. Differentiation and variety underlying unity is the law of nature. The mixture of races going on under the present condition is debasing and criminal; and the admission of the Sikh's wife and children would have very largely prevented it. \n\nCol. Falkland Warren, C.M.G., who had experience of the Sikhs in India and who lived in British Columbia when they first came, spoke of them as being personally clean, but baselessly slandered. They bathe with religious sacredness. Coming from the north of India and from warlike races, the Sikhs are splendid-looking, muscular, tall, and broad-shouldered men. \n\nIn intelligence, they compare well with other immigrants. Further on, he says: \"When I hear the Sikhs who are here now in Vancouver and who have been indiscriminately vilified, I naturally ask who is maliciously at the bottom of this agitation. They have served in regiments bearing on their colors the names of battles as testimony of their loyalty in the darkest days of the mutiny, while the historic names of the great soldiers who commanded them, the King and members of the Royal family as their colonels—when I say that I hear them speak of the treatment they have received here, the vile abuse of them, the falsehoods as to their character, I can say nothing, but hang my head in shame. It is a great public scandal.\" \n\nAllusion may be made here also to the inhuman utterance which a leading city father was reported to have blustered forth—that he would rather see a Hindu immigrant die of hunger and cold before his very eyes than succor him, a statement of which any living being having any pretension to humanity ought to be ashamed. But that is nothing compared to the action of a Vancouver Mayor who, some years ago, arbitrarily detained very nearly 200 East Indian immigrants on board S.S. Empress of Japan for two days. At a mob meeting held in Vancouver in connection with Hindus, abuse was hurled at them, and Col. Warren, the gallant officer above referred to, was howled down and not allowed to speak. But who is at the bottom of all this shamefully conducted and deplorable agitation against the Sikhs, and where will it end? \n\nFrom the above short summary of the Sikh case, we beg to point out the following conclusions: \n\n1. That the Sikhs are desirable immigrants to Canada chiefly as farmers. Canada has untold acres to be tilled. The Sikhs, being expert farmers, supply that need. They are of the same Aryan stock as the Canadians and, being British subjects, are used to British laws and institutions. They do the roughest work, such as stumping and clearing land, and thus do not come into competition with white labor. They have not been able to settle on land as its price is prohibitive, and when we consider the cost of clearing it, it seems we are very far off. What Canada and B.C. especially need is more producers. Having no government of their own, the Sikhs have been used as a football by politicians, who, in their unscrupulous ambition for power, have, as the above cases show, abused the Sikhs in various ways. They dare not do that sort of thing with Chinese, Japanese, and others. But surely the parochial interests of these worthy friends are not going to override the worldwide Imperial importance of this question. Considering this question from national, international, and humanitarian points of view, it needs a thorough investigation.\n\n2. The law has not been lived up to, as to its letter as well as in regard to the spirit of justice associated with the British name. All the Sikhs who are now in Canada came by a direct, continuous journey. How they came and why they came has been explained above. It is no use going on multiplying their grievances by roughhouse methods. The thing is they are here, and being here, they ask for a 'square deal.' Various orders-in-council have been passed from time to time and at the spur of the moment, but on their being tested in the courts, they do not stand the light of day. The Sikhs do not know where they stand. The Canadian Government has arrangements with China and Japan under which their nationals enter this country. Even the present unskilled labor order is specially aimed at the Sikhs, for no European immigrants are going to B.C. by way of Vancouver. We believe the influence of the Sikhs in Canada will be for the good of the Dominion. They will form additional bonds of union between India and Canada and thus help in Imperial co-operation and unity. \n\n3. That the treatment of the Sikhs in Canada has worked injury to Imperial interests; not only as to the attitude of thirty-five hundred British subjects in Canada but in its influence on India. Is not the Sikh in British Columbia as good as his brother fighting in the trenches in Europe? And how could Canada refuse entrance to a Sikh soldier who had won the Victoria Cross at the hands of His Majesty King George VI? Taken even from a military point of view, the Sikhs are a good asset for defense in this country. This factor is well recognized by the proper authorities. \n\n4. That a course of action is open by which these harmful effects can be counteracted, constructive Imperialism evolved out of a sordid chapter, the real meaning and effects of which the Canadians are ignorant. This can come about only by the broad-minded on both sides coming together and first fully investigating the case and then arriving at a just solution. As things are, they have already gone far enough. \n\nFortunately, the war has helped Britain to \"find\" India. Before the conflict began, she was treated as a dependant, but India, by her blood-sacrifice, has proved her partnership and equality of citizenship in the Imperial concern. We hope this sacrifice will not be in vain, and that \"Little India\" in Canada will be properly treated. The brothers of the Sikhs in Canada are not only fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Canadians but are linked together under the same commander in France. Men do not pass through these experiences without being affected by them. The Indians and Canadians, sharing the same privations, undergoing the same sacrifices, will not come out as they went in. Surely, after this GREAT CHANGE, petty racial prejudice and ignorance will give way, and the Empire tragedy of last summer will not happen again. In this connection, let me quote from a letter which appeared recently in the Toronto Globe: \n\n\"If disaffection is spread in India through the impressions that Hindus have carried from Canada, surely it is time the Canadian people examined the facts closely and impartially; not so much in the interests of the Sikhs, whose valor all over the world is proving that they are well able to take care of themselves; but because Canada's reputation in the Empire is at hazard, and her fame in the world in danger, so long as fair play is made to wait upon the presumed interests of politicians who have never studied the real place of India in the Empire, or her relations to the future of such a cosmopolitan country as Canada. \n\n\"Our men and yours are fighting in the same trenches for the same cause. If our men were fighting for the defense of Canada against the Germans in France before your own sons could reach the fighting line, the only notice we want taken of that is that it is at least a sign of our devotion to the great ideals for which the Empire fights, and which we, like you, want to translate into our future co-operative relationships. \n\n\"We are also men; we also are British subjects. But it would be idle to pretend that a bright future under that name is irrevocably assured so long as a stigma is put upon us in Canada, such as is not put upon the Japanese, or the Chinese, or even upon the negro. Canada, in claiming, through her Prime Minister and High Commissioner, that after the war, she shall not only share in determining the peace but shall also take part in all Imperial policies, herself raises in the most direct form the question of our relationship to the Canadian people. That is a challenge to men like me to throw what ideas and information they may have into the com-\n\n14 \n## \n623",

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:- As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this.\n\nThat a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\n\nIt is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\n\nNow, gentlemen, I contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution.\n\nIt was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question. We claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct communication from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language. (Hear, hear.)\n\nIt has been said, it was said in Council, that the appeal made was largely one appeal based on sentiment, and was one which ignored economic facts. In the first place, gentlemen, it is impossible in connection with this war to ignore sentiment. (Applause.) The entry of England into this war in the very first place was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium.\n\nAnd, gentlemen, it is impossible to conceive that as a result of this war sentiment in connection with it will die down for many years to come, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it. (Applause.) You will notice that I am endeavouring in presenting this case to present it without passion, and to deal with it calmly and logically as it presents itself and as I trust it will appeal to you.\n\nCommittee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your Chamber, and to your Committee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your\n\n[April 27th, 1917.\n\n209\n\n349\n\n8\n\nApril 27th, 1917.] CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\ndevelopment any big commercial\n\ncome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hongkong, men, gentlemen, that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo. Now, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means.\n\nI mean that if we are not alive to the possibility of competition, and knowing well we can meet them and overcome them, then we shall deserve all the competition we may possibly have to meet.\n\nThe Hon. Sir PAUL CHATER- then said: Gentlemen, while I yield to none in my detestation and horror of the Germans and the unspeakable atrocities committed by that nation since the commencement of the War, at the same time I cannot find myself in accord with the suggestion that it is in the best interests of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace, and that subsequently they be admitted into the Colony under strict licence,\" save and except under conditions which are, I am convinced, beyond the bound of practical politics, namely, that the same stand be adopted and maintained by all the Allies in the Far East- France, Russia, Japan and most particularly China.\n\nGiven these conditions, then I am with you. Except under these conditions to exclude the Germans from our Colony would be merely to drive them to neighbouring trade centres, where once established they would prove a serious menace to our welfare and trade, not to mention the loss of benefits to be derived from the use of our Harbour by their shipping, and of shipping under their control. (Voice-Rot. They have no shipping. Who wrote it?)\n\nI deem it inexpedient that I should here mention in detail the place where they could exert and unless China sides with us) so establish themselves in our immediate neighbourhood.\n\nThey must be as well-known to you all as to me, but I shall be only too pleased to give my views in full to your Committee if and when they wish.\n\nIt has been argued that with no coaling facilities on the way German shipping will find a difficulty in reaching these distant waters, but can we for a moment suppose that she will not find means to overcome this difficulty? What about the use of oil fuel in place of coal? It would be easy enough for steamers using oil to reach Dutch ports in the East Indies and there replenish their stock for the further voyage to China, and Japan.\n\nThat China has at the moment broken off diplomatic relations with Germany we all know, and I trust that the day is not far distant when she will be numbered amongst our Allies; but to imagine for a moment that when peace is established she will continue to decline to trade with her is to my mind absurd.\n\nI have read that the German Concessions at Tientsin, Hankow and elsewhere, now being taken care of by China, will eventually be handed back to her, and we know Germans to-day are tolerated and trading in Shanghai.\n\nI maintain then to exclude them from this Colony only would be a suicidal policy. (Voice-No, no.) It may be said that we have got on very well and prospered without them during the war-granted but shall we not do so to a greater degree on their return! (Voice No.) Nor do I think we have much to fear for our trade from their competition for many years to come, particularly in view of the statement which has been put forward that they will have to compete without the banking and discount facilities in London which they formerly enjoyed.\n\nIn support of the remarks of our worthy Chairman as regards this resolution, and to add that it might be considered a matter of common and ordinary precaution.\n\nGentlemen. We desire these sentiments to be sent home to the Home Government.\n\nThe Prime Minister, very wisely, since the beginning of the war, has acted in consultation with the best technical and business brains of the country-(applause)-and we are encouraged to think that his Government will welcome...",

        "content_text": "Page 181\n\nEnclosure\n\n134\n\nAttorney General's Chambers, Hongkong, 30th December, 1915.\n\nGentlemen,\n\nIn reply to your letter of the 21st December, I am instructed to say that the Hongkong Government do not propose to offer any objection to your sending the circular in question to any shareholders in your company who are enemy subjects, if you are in a position to communicate with them, or their attorneys, and that in any case the Government propose to offer no objection to your reserving the proper number of new shares for any such shareholders.\n\nI would point out that the prohibition against trading with the enemy applies only (a) to persons resident or carrying on business in an enemy country or in territory in hostile occupation, and (b) to persons of enemy nationality resident or carrying on business in China, Siam, Persia or Morocco. This excludes Messrs. Jebsen, Dattan, and Hermeling from the category of enemy in the trading sense.\n\nIt would appear from your list that you have excluded Mr. Spalokhaver also, but his latest address appears to be an address in Germany. Mr. Dattan has claimed to be of Russian nationality, though he has furnished no proof in support of his claim.\n\nThe affairs of Messrs. Speidel & Co., the Union Rice Mill, and the Orient Rice Mill, are being wound up by liquidators appointed by the Courts of French Indo-China, and there is no objection on the part of this Government to your offering the new shares to those liquidators.\n\nI am not in a position to express any opinion as to the nationality of the persons entitled under the will of Mrs. Lucie M. C. Nioaise. Here again, the Government have no objection to the offer or reservation of the new shares.\n\nIn view of the above you will no doubt consider your position and obligations towards the shareholders in question and will consult your legal advisers as to what course you should take.\n\nI only wish to add that the legal position of shareholders who are divided by the line of war from the company in which they hold shares is a question of much uncertainty, and that this uncertainty and the serious question of policy which is also involved are the reasons which have led the Government to take up the attitude which they have adopted in the matter.\n\nHongkong & Whampoa Dock Company Limited, Hongkong.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\n(sd.) J. H. Kemp,\n\nAttorney General.\n\nPage 182",

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

Williams (Secretary)\n    \n  \n\nThe Hon. Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:— As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this. That a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\"It is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\"\n\nNow, gentlemen, we contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution. (Applause.) It was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question.\n\nWe claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct pronouncement from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language.",

Whiteaway, Laidlaw & Co., Ltd., have a departmental store in Bangkok.\n\nThe total number of British subjects in Siam has been estimated at not less than 10,000, of which the great majority are Straits Chinese. The number of British-born subjects is approximately 1,000, including the official and business communities and the missionaries.\n\nGerman Activity and Influence.-German activity and influence in Siam is of comparatively recent growth, but has become increasingly felt of late years, and before the war was second only to the British, German enterprise and initiative is manifested in three distinct spheres, in each of which the efforts of her agents have been directed towards the national aim of extending Germany's political and economic interest in the country. The three main German spheres of activity are:-\n\n(a) The Official Sphere, where, in the capacity of advisers and administrators of the Government railways and the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, German officials have been able to wield considerable influence.\n\n(b) The Mercantile Sphere. The German firms in Bangkok entered the field 10 many years after their British rivals, but during the past years their competition has been increasingly felt, particularly in the import trade.\n\n(c) The Shipping Sphere. German activity under this head has already been referred to. Their shipping policy has been a deliberately selfish one, with the sole aim of securing for their nationals the greater portion of the import business, even at the expense of shipping dividends.\n\nThe German control of the Siamese State Railways dates from the award of the contract for the Bangkok-Korat line to an English engineer in 1892, and the appointment of an unsuccessful German tenderer as Director of Siamese State Railways to supervise the carrying out of the contract, The natural result of this anomalous position was constant friction, until, in 1896, the Government cancelled the contract, stopped the work, and took over the construction in addition to the direction of the line. The financial management of the railways was for some years a cause of friction between the Financial and the Public Works Departments of the Government, the German railway director advancing the theory that money allotted to railways in the annual financial budget of the kingdom must be under his absolute control, to be accounted for only to H.M. the King, and not to H.M. Ministry of Finance whence the budget issued. Furthermore, after the cancellation of the British contract, the director insisted that the purchase of all material must be left to himself alone, to be conducted by private tender, or without tender at all, as seemed to him best. The efforts of the Finance Ministry and its British adviser to ascertain how the large sums of money annually voted for railways was being spent were met by violent protests from the director, and indignant objection from the German Minister in Bangkok. It was not until the failure of a Leipzig bank, involving the loss of a sum of Siamese money which should have been in the Bangkok Treasury, effectively demonstrated the unsoundness of the system, that a better system of control was introduced. The management of the railways has suffered considerably from an excess of officialism. During the early period of construction almost all the material was bought in Germany, but since the insistence of the Finance Department upon an open and equitable system of tendering, most of the rails and bridge girders have been imported from the United Kingdom, the locomotives from Germany, and the carriages and waggons from the United Kingdom and Belgium.\n\nIt should be noted here that in the spring of 1909 the Siamese Railway Department signed an agreement with the Government of the British Federated Malay States, by which it secured a loan of 1,000,000l. for the purpose of extending the Siamese lines southwards from Petchaburi through Southern Siam, to link up with the Federated Malay States railway system. By this agreement, the British Government secures considerable influence throughout the length of the Siamo-Malay Peninsula to the exclusion of other foreign Powers. This railway will bring Bangkok appreciably nearer to Penang and Singapore and the great mail and traffic route through the Straits of Malacca, and will at the same time develop the fertile regions of Southern Siam which are at present unexploited.\n\nThe construction of this line is now well in hand, and the junction of the Malay States railways with the Siamese lines is expected to be effected towards the end of 1917. The port of Prai, opposite to Penang, is being developed, and it is expected\n\n37\n\nthat the development of Northern Malaya and Southern Siam will bring greatly increased trade to Penang, which will then become the nearest port of call to Bangkok for the through mail steamers. In addition, the construction of a line to the eastwards through the States of Pahang and Kelantan, which will develop the eastern states of the peninsula, is being accelerated. The inauguration of through rail connections will do more than anything else to cement the bonds of mutual interest between the colony and its great economic dependency, and to stimulate the growing trade between Singapore and Bangkok.\n\nThe German control of the Siamese Posts and Telegraphs is vested in a Director-General and two deputies. These officials are employees of the German Postal Administration, and their services are lent to Siam by the German Government.\n\nIn the mercantile sphere, German activity is centred in the hands of her merchants in Bangkok. The German houses are few in number and, with two exceptions, are of recent establishment. The principal German merchants are:-\n\nA. Markwald & Co., Ltd.-Established in 1850 as rice millers, importers and exporters, this house has the distinction of being the second oldest European firm of its kind in Siam. The company's head office is that of the well-known shipping firm of Rickmers, of Bremen, and Messrs. Markwald & Co. provide the Rickmers steamers with the bulk of their cargoes of rice. They operate one of the most modern rice mills in Bangkok, and were the pioneers of the bulk petroleum business in Siam, for which they constructed large tanks on behalf of the Shell Transport Co., Ltd. The firm are agents for the Austrian Lloyd and the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, and have a large fire and marine insurance business, holding, before the war, inter alia, the agencies of the London and Lancashire Fire Insurance Co. and the North British and Mercantile Insurance Co.\n\nWindsor & Co., Ltd., of Bangkok and Hamburg, were founded, in 1873, under the style of Windsor, Redlich & Co. This house is the principal German shipping and import firm in the trade, and holds the agency for the Norddeutscher Lloyd lines both to Singapore and to Hong Kong. The great bulk of the transhipment cargo from Europe via Singapore has therefore passed through its hands, and it should be noted that most unscrupulous use has been made of the trade information thereby acquired. Messrs. Windsor & Co. conducted the largest shipping and insurance business in Bangkok, and held, before the war, the agencies of many important British companies, including\n\nThe Canadian Pacific Railway Royal Mail S.S. Line.\n\nArchibald Currie & Co.'s Australian and Indian S.S. Line.\n\nThe Shan Line.\n\nBritish and Foreign Marine Insurance Co., Ltd.\n\nChina Fire Insurance Co., Ltd.\n\nChina Traders Insurance Co., Ltd.\n\nLaw, Union and Rock Insurance Co., Ltd.\n\nLondon and Provincial Marine and General Insurance Co., Ltd.\n\nManufacturers' Life Insurance Co.\n\nNew Zealand Insurance Co., Ltd.\n\nScottish Union and National Insurance Co.\n\nSouth British Insurance Co., Ltd.\n\nState Assurance Co., Ltd.\n\nSun Life Assurance Company of Canada.\n\nUnion Assurance Society, Ltd.\n\nUnion Insurance Society of Canton, Ltd.\n\nThe Mercantile Bank of India, Ltd.\n\nIt cannot be too strongly urged that after the war these companies should be urged to place their agencies in British hands.\n\nBehn, Meyer & Co., Ltd. This well-known German house, with headquarters at Singapore and Hamburg, and branches throughout the Straits, Netherlands Indies and the Philippines, opened its Bangkok office in 1907, and the following year took over the business of Schmidt, Fertsch & Co. The firm has conducted a general shipping and agency business, and its competition has been most keenly felt in piece goods and general imports. The British agencies held by it include--\n\nThe North Western Insurance Co., Manchester.\n\nThe Western Assurance Co.\n\n£3\n\n615",

        "content_text": "90\n\nThe imports of machinery into Japan are on a considerable scale, and the trade is shared by the principal competitors as follows:\n\n  \n    Country\n    1911\n    1912\n    1913\n  \n\n91\n\nOf this trade Great Britain secured more than 90 per cent.\n\nThe increase between the years 1903 and 1913 in the import of the two most promising classes of goods, viz., cotton Italians, Venetians, umbrella cloths, and velvets, was as follows:\n\n  \n    \n    United Kingdom\n    United States\n    Germany\n    France\n    Other countries\n    Total\n  \n  \n    £\n    1,269,600\n    644,600\n    674,300\n    18,500\n    211,000\n    2,818,000\n  \n  \n    £\n    1,456,300\n    705,600\n    658,900\n    24,700\n    148,300\n    2,987,600\n  \n  \n    £\n    1,737,800\n    754,300\n    773,600\n    -\n    362,300\n    3,752,700\n  \n\n  \n    \n    1903\n    1913\n  \n  \n    Cotton Italians, &c.\n    £ 125,000\n    £ 350,500\n  \n  \n    Velvets and plushes\n    76,000\n    190,700\n  \n\nThe largest single item of British machinery is textile machinery, the import of which for many years has averaged some 300,000l. per annum. In machine tools severe competition is met with from America and Germany, while in electrical machinery and water turbines Germany holds a commanding position.\n\nConsiderable advance has been made both in the number and capacity of Japanese engineering shops during the last few years, and with the advantage of the high duties and freights on European goods they are enabled to approximate in many cases the laid-down prices of the latter, and are seriously encroaching in the trade. Although the demand for machinery is certain to be considerable to meet the great industrial expansion in the country which is imminent after the war, British exporters of machinery will do well closely to watch Japanese developments and to change their policy as and when required.\n\n2. Textiles.\n\n(a) Cottons.-In consequence of the advance of Japan as a textile manufacturing nation, the imports of cotton yarns and piece goods show a remarkable falling off during the past 15 years.\n\nThe following table shows the decrease in certain staple lines during that period:\n\n  \n    Articles\n    Average for 1898-1900\n    Average for 1908-1910\n    1913\n  \n  \n    Yarn\n    700,000\n    81,000\n    47,000\n  \n  \n    Flannel Prints\n    100,000\n    19,000\n    17,000\n  \n  \n    Gray shirtings\n    190,000\n    190,000\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Turkey reds\n    10,000\n    ...\n    ...\n  \n  \n    Italian cloths\n    620,000\n    450,000\n    125,000\n  \n\n(b) Woollens and Worsted.\n\nWhile the imports of cotton textiles have fallen off considerably of late years, the imports of woollens and worsteds (particularly yarns) have shown a very marked expansion. The raising of the standard of life and comfort of the people, and the more widespread adoption of European dress in the cities, is causing a greatly enhanced demand for woollen and worsted serges, suitings, union cloths, &c. Japan has, so far, not taken up the manufacture of fine cloths, so that there will still be a valuable market for British goods after the war. The extension of the mousseline-de-laine weaving industry, however, and the experience gained during the war in the manufacture of army fabrics on a large scale for the Russian forces, will result in greatly increased competition from native manufacturers.\n\nRaw Wool.\n\nIn 1913 the principal imports were as follows:\n\n  \n    Country\n    Lbs.\n    £\n  \n  \n    United Kingdom\n    772,990\n    46,300\n  \n  \n    Australia\n    9,733,821\n    452,100\n  \n  \n    China\n    1,025,986\n    29,600\n  \n  \n    Other countries\n    77,731\n    4,900\n  \n  \n    Total\n    11,610,028\n    532,900\n  \n\nThe import of cotton yarns, with the exception of a few special counts, has been killed by the extension of the domestic industry, which has also attacked the coarser end of the piece goods trade. Not only will this trade not be recovered in the future, but we may expect to see competition in an ever-widening range of articles. Lancashire must therefore be prepared to lose certain portions of the trade, and should concentrate her attention on strengthening her position in the finer goods for which, as the prosperity and standard of living advances in Japan, there is almost certain to be an increased demand. Such articles as fine white shirtings, Victoria lawns, Italians, Venetians, umbrella cloths, and cotton velvets, are the most promising articles for the future.\n\nIn 1913 the total import of cotton textiles amounted to 1,029,400l. (it shrank to 530,900l. in 1914) made up as follows:\n\n  \n    \n    £\n  \n  \n    Italians, Venetians, and umbrella cloths\n    350,500\n  \n  \n    Grey shirtings and sheetings\n    121,700\n  \n  \n    White\n    120,900\n  \n  \n    Velvets\n    190,700\n  \n  \n    Victoria lawns\n    36,500\n  \n  \n    Cotton prints\n    10,000\n  \n  \n    All other cotton tissues\n    196,100\n  \n  \n    Total\n    1,029,400\n  \n\nWool Tops.\n\n  \n    Country\n    Lbs.\n    £\n  \n  \n    United Kingdom\n    5,893,098\n    696,700\n  \n  \n    Germany\n    67,480\n    8,000\n  \n  \n    Australia\n    195,276\n    24,100\n  \n  \n    Other countries\n    3,219,803\n    364,000\n  \n  \n    Total\n    9,449,734\n    1,100,000\n  \n\nThe expansion since the war has been enormous, largely on account of the Russian orders. The consumption by Japan in 1915-16 of the choicest merino wools shows an increase of nearly 500 per cent. on normal pre-war consumption (average pre-war takings 20,000 bales, 1915-16-113,600 bales), and the values of the total wool imports are given for that year at 3,100,000l. It is understood that Japan is laying down combing plants of her own, and consequently the large trade in tops with the United Kingdom is seriously threatened.\n\nPage 92\n\n642",

        "content_text": "## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nIn the Post Office, one 3rd grade Clerk has been promoted to be Deputy Superintendent, Money Order Office, while the 2nd grade Postal Clerks have been increased by one. Under Other Charges, large savings are shown under the head \"Carriage of Mails,\" due to the higher exchange and the closing of the Siberian Route.\n\n## Kowloon-Canton Railway\n\nIn the Kowloon-Canton Railway, under \"Personal Emoluments,\" it will be noticed that the number of watchmen has been increased, especially in the Locomotive Yard at Hunghom. This latter increase was made at the end of last year, when a number of thefts had occurred, and it is satisfactory to be able to report that since the extra watchmen were engaged and regular beats instituted, there have been no further thefts. Under \"Maintenance of Way-Works and Stations\" and \"Other Charges,\" the cost of the biennial painting of bridges and tunnels is estimated at $3,000, while larger sums than last year have been provided for the repairs to staff quarters and station buildings. The time has arrived when the sleepers originally laid require extensive renewals, for which a sum of $15,000 has been entered.\n\nIn the office of the Locomotive Superintendent, a 3rd grade Draughtsman is required. The Locomotive Superintendent has to work long hours to cope single-handed with the very responsible work of keeping the engines and rolling-stock generally in good running order, and it has become practically impossible for him to continue making the necessary drawings. An extra fitter on daily wages has also been provided for. Under \"Other Charges,\" it is particularly satisfactory to note that, notwithstanding the increase in the cost of most materials, it is hoped to make a small saving on this year's estimates.\n\nUnder \"Traffic Expenses-Personal Emoluments,\" it is proposed to promote five station-masters from the 5th to the 4th grade, as the salaries drawn by them are not considered sufficient remuneration for the long hours they have to work and the responsible nature of their duties.\n\nThe Fanling branch line still fails to pay its way, but it is useful as a feeder to the main line. A small saving is shown in the estimated cost of working the line next year.\n\nUnder \"Special Expenditure,\" a vote of $45,000 is required for the platform awnings. As it is impossible to get materials from England, the work will now be carried into effect locally. The sum of $10,220 is required to complete the wharf opposite the new goods-shed at Kowloon. The siding at Shatin, for which a sum of $6,640 has been provided, is required in order to obviate delays which sometimes occur in dealing with the traffic.\n\nThe greatest economy has been exercised in preparing the estimates of expenditure in connection with the railway compatible with safety and efficiency, and I can only express a hope that events for which we have long waited may before long lead to a more satisfactory return on the very large capital expended.\n\nA reduction of $223,381 is shown in the amount estimated for this year under the heading \"Charge on account of public debt\" due to the higher exchange.\n\nThere are doubtless old residents in this Colony who will note with regret that by his death, the portion of his pension paid by this Colony to the late Mr. Charles Vandeleur Creagh has ceased. He served with distinction, after leaving Hongkong, as Secretary to the Government of Perak, and as Governor of British North Borneo.\n\nThe balance of revenue over expenditure is estimated to amount to $2,206,319, which, added to the estimated balance at the end of this year, makes a total of $6,801,531.\n\nIt is proposed to take the second reading of this bill on the 17th October.\n\n## The Colony's War Contributions\n\nBefore I conclude, I wish to refer, as briefly as possible, to the help rendered by the Colony to His Majesty's Government during the past year in carrying on the war. I will bring the figures given by the Governor in his address last October up to date.\n\nThe amounts invested in War Loans through the British Banks by companies and individuals in the Colony up to the 27th September are as follows:\n| Loan Type | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| British Government, Straits Settlement, Federated Malay States, and Indian Government loans | £5,875,000 |\n| United States War Loans | £177,000 |\n| **Total** | **£6,052,000** |\n\nIn addition to the sum of $5,000,000 presented to His Majesty's Government for war purposes in 1916, and presented this year a sum of £550,000, while the special war assessment produced last year a sum of $504,984 and for the first nine months of this year $756,000, all of which has been paid over to the Imperial Authorities.\n\nUp to the present date, 579 men have proceeded from the Colony on active service with His Majesty's Forces. The year has been marked by the passing of the Military Service Ordinance, imposing one of the first compulsory service outside the Crown Colonies to take this step, and the fact that, after a very careful review by the General Military Service Tribunal of every individual case coming under the Ordinance, comparatively few men have been enrolled, shows that a high percentage of the available man-power of the Colony had already seized the opportunity of joining-up.\n\nThe Hongkong and South China War Savings Association, which was established in January, 1917, had received up to the end of September the sum of $2,696,274 Straits Currency-an increase of $1,674,834 over the sum received on the same date last year-while during the year, the membership of the Association rose from 787 to 1,110. I desire again to record what a great boon this Association has been to the small investor, and to express to the Union Insurance Society of Canton the appreciation felt in this Colony for the valuable services so willingly rendered to the public in this matter.\n\nAt the end of September, 1917, the total sum remitted to various funds in aid of war work and to charities in connection with the war was over £77,000, and the sum expended locally for the working parties and in other ways was $84,030. The former figure has been raised during the year to £142,122-which includes the fine results of \"Our Day,\" St. George's Day, and a new date, namely, \"Kowloon Day\" on January 1st-and the latter figure to $144,568.\n\nI feel sure that you will wish me to give expression to the feelings of intense admiration with which this Colony, in common with the rest of the Empire, has watched during the past three months the magnificent victories won by our armies overseas and those of our gallant Allies.\n\nThe achievements of Marshal Foch, uniting to the best advantage the efforts of the Commanders on all the fronts, will go down to the ages as one of the grandest figures in military history; while out of many fine exploits, the British people will never forget how those brave and devoted volunteer crews added lustre to the records of our Navy by their dauntless courage in sealing up the ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge in the face of a most powerful and merciless fire by the enemy. In some of these great doings, the men from this Colony have had a share.\n\nForty-three... These figures do not include the sum of £31,447 subscribed to the Prince of Wales' Fund up to the 31st December, 1915. The St. Andrew's Society of Hongkong also raised a sum of £7,047 last November, and, I understand, intends this year to surpass all its previous efforts.\n\nThe various parties of ladies working for the Queen Mary's Needle Work Guild and private working parties have continued to send throughout the year large quantities of garments and bandages for the use of the troops on all fronts, and letters of appreciation received bear testimony to the great value of their work.\n\nCorrespondence from all the regular troops in the garrison has continued to be forwarded free of charge through the post, and from the 1st January to the end of September, 195,135 letters, 3,656 postcards, and 7,479 other articles, mostly newspapers, have been transmitted.",

        "content_text": "20\n\nbuildings, both for power plant and operating, the masts, transmitting and receiving aerials, and lighting and water-distilling plants, are intact, and said to be in all respects serviceable. We estimate that an expenditure of about £20,000 would suffice to render Windhuk an excellent valve station in the Imperial scheme, and we recommend that the Government of the Union of South Africa be advised to employ it, pending future developments of wireless telegraphy, for this purpose.\n\nIf the South African Government agrees to this proposal we would urge that Windhuk station, which can be ready much before any other valve station, be completed as soon as possible, in order that experiments in communicating with the Cairo are station may begin early next year. These experiments might well prove very instructive as regards the whole Imperial system.\n\nExperience will show what subsidiary services, working with the three main stations of this African north and south route, are required, and they can be erected without difficulty, and equipped with valve transmission of power suitable to the distances to be covered. Communication between Cairo and Baghdad, less than 800 miles, would doubtless be needed at once.\n\nThis chain of stations from England to the Cape would, in our opinion, be able to handle efficiently and expeditiously the official and commercial traffic to be expected.\n\n37. We next recommend that all the remaining Imperial stations be of the valve transmitting and receiving type we have outlined. The first would be erected in England, and on a site not more than 5 miles from the main transmission line of an Electricity Authority, if such can be found suitable for a wireless installation. This may possibly be near Melksham, in Wiltshire, but it would be necessary to form a small committee consisting of a wireless expert, a geologist, and representatives of the Electricity Commission and the Woods and Forests, to select the site and decide accordingly whether the wireless station should purchase or generate its current. This station would communicate duplex with a station to be erected in Egypt, and this station again with a station at Poona or whatever site was found to be most suitable in India.\n\nThe Indian station would communicate with a station to be erected at Singapore, where the traffic would branch, part going north to a station at Hongkong, and part southward to a station situated in the north of Australia, say, at Port Darwin, or on the west coast, not further south than Perth.\n\nThat is, the route England-Egypt-India-Far East-Australia would be served by six valve stations, and would be entirely independent of the route England-Egypt-East Africa-South Africa, although of course the arc and valve stations in England and Egypt would be able to assist each other in handling traffic when one was crowded and the other temporarily free.\n\nWe realise that it might soon be necessary to duplicate the valve stations in Egypt and India, but we do not think this would be required by the traffic at first, and the delay of a year or two would, in our opinion, have the great advantage of enabling it to be seen whether an increase in the power of valves, or in the rate of high-speed signalling, would not meet the growth of traffic, rendering unnecessary the building of more stations. For the traffic it is reasonable to anticipate at the present time we feel confident that the plan here outlined will provide prompt and regular facilities.\n\n38. We now set out the capital cost and annual charges (the Leafield-Cairo service being already provided) of the Imperial wireless scheme recommended.* These would be as follows:-\n\nCapital Cost.\n\nAnnual Charges.\n\n21\n\nOf the above capital sum, £853,000 would be payable by the Imperial Government, £185,000 by the Indian Government, £185,000 by the Australian Government, and £20,000 by the Government of the Union of South Africa,\n\nOf the above annual charges, £268,000 would be payable by the Imperial Government, £59,000 by the Indian Government, £60,000 by the Australian Government, and £38,000 by the South African Government.\n\nIt will have been noted that the annual charges include interest at 6 per cent. on capital and complete amortisation, within a proper period, of all buildings and plant. This is as requested in our terms of reference.\n\n39. We proceed, as further requested, to examine the probable amount of traffic and revenue that may be expected from each station.\n\nAny estimate of the amount of traffic which would be carried must in the nature of things be highly speculative. In the recent arbitration proceedings with the Marconi Company, in respect of the cancelled contract of 1913, the Post Office put forward certain estimates based on the assumptions that the traffic on the principal routes concerned, which increased by some 150 per cent. during the war, would materially decrease during the next few years, and that the wireless service would attract some 15 per cent. of the total traffic. As a matter of fact, however, the traffic so far shows little or no tendency to decrease, and although the cable companies still expect a falling off there seems good reason to think the diminution will be less than had been expected, and that after a few years it will be made good by natural growth. In our calculations we have assumed that the average traffic during the next few years will be about five-sixths of the 1918 traffic. Further, the service we propose should be considerably better than that contemplated by the Post Office-Marconi Contract, seeing that there would be two separate lines of communication from the United Kingdom to South Africa and India respectively, instead of a service (as proposed in 1913) dependent upon a single line of communication between England and Egypt. In these circumstances, and in view of the continued congestion of the cables, we think it not unreasonable to suppose that the wireless service will attract 20 per cent. of the commercial, social and press traffic, in addition to a considerable amount of Government traffic. We have assumed that the rates payable by the public on the wireless routes would be three-fourths of the existing cable rates, which have recently in several cases been substantially reduced. The Government traffic may, we think, be credited to the wireless service at the actual rates now charged for it on the cables.\n\n40. On these bases, and making a suitable allowance for retransmission (that is, the combined operation of receiving and sending) as compared with the single operation of sending or receiving, the annual load and revenue of the various stations (omitting the Leafield-Cairo service) during the first years of working are estimated roughly, since a more accurate forecast is impossible, as follows:-\n\n  \n    India\n    Words per annum.\n    Revenue.\n    £\n  \n  \n    English station\n    7,000,000\n    50,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Cairo station..\n    10,500,000\n    60,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Singapore\n    9,000,000\n    55,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Hongkong\n    6,000,000\n    40,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Australia\n    1,500,000\n    25,000\n    \n  \n  \n    East Africa,\n    3,600,000\n    40,000\n    \n  \n  \n    South Africa..\n    2,000,000\n    30,000\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    1,500,000\n    25,000\n    \n  \n  \n    \n    325,000\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    English station\n    \n    39,000\n    \n  \n  \n    Cairo station...\n    \n    185,000\n    $7,000\n  \n  \n    Poona station\n    \n    185,000\n    59,000\n  \n  \n    Singapore station\n    \n    185,000\n    60,000\n  \n  \n    Hongkong station\n    \n    185,000\n    50,000\n  \n  \n    Australian station\n    \n    185,000\n    60,000\n  \n  \n    Nairobi station\n    \n    185,000\n    52,000\n  \n  \n    Windhuk station\n    \n    20,000\n    38,000\n  \n  \n    Totals\n    \n    1,243,000\n    425,000\n  \n\n* The charges are arrived at generally in the same way as those for the England-Egypt-India service, and where it is anticipated traffic will be for the present small, as at Hongkong, Nairobi and Windhuk, we have thought it fair to assume a reduction in operating costs of 60 per cent., and an equivalent economy in fuel.\n\nover.\n\nIt should, of course, be understood that the above words are counted several times. The actual amount of traffic passing over the Imperial routes on the above basis would be from 9,000,000 to 10,000,000 words. After the opening years an annual increase of 5 per cent. per annum may reasonably be assumed.\n\nOf the above revenue, £205,000 would be receivable by the Imperial Government, £55,000 by the Indian Government, £40,000 by the Australian Government, and £25,000 by the South African Government.\n\nThis is,\n\n41. No mention has hitherto been made of communication with Canada. of course, of the first importance in an Imperial wireless scheme, but definite proposals\n\n[3569]\n\nE\n\n502",

        "content_text": "# \nthe wording of the resolution be left and brought up for consideration at some other time? \n\nOn the following morning an amendment in the wording which appears at the head of this report, was proposed, seconded and carried unanimously. \n\n## THE MAIL SERVICE. \n\n### The Suez and the Pacific Routes, \n\nIt was unanimously agreed: \n\nThat, whilst gladly recognising that there has recently been some improvement in the mail service between China and the United Kingdom, the conference desires to call attention to the fact that it is still subject to frequent delay and is deplorably irregular, and urges the responsible authorities to make every effort to put the service on a satisfactory basis.' \n\nIn moving this resolution on behalf of Shanghai, Mr. Massey (Reiss and Co.) said: \n\nI have taken some pains to ascertain whether there is any radical change that could be effected which would bring about the desired expedition of our mail service via Suez, but unfortunately, after studying the schedule and conferring with the agents of the different steamship lines concerned, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the Government is doing almost all that lies in its power to do, and that until the conditions of travel are so improved as to bring us back towards what we were accustomed to in pre-war days very little can be achieved in the desired direction. \n\nIt is true that nowadays 90 per cent. of business is conducted over the wires, but notwithstanding this a prompt and regular mail service is a very necessary complement thereto. Those of us who are engaged in the import trade know what great inconvenience has been caused both to importers, steamship agents, banks and the customs service through the erratic way in which our advices of shipments and documents come forward. Sometimes we have had two or even three steamers of one line in harbour, without a single document relating thereto having been received. We occasionally see an instance of a fast freighter making the voyage out to China in what we would have considered excellent mail time in pre-war days, and at one period the Government were criticised for not making regular use of these opportunities, but unfortunately a service like this is not to be relied upon for continuity. Further, in the nature of their trade these big freight steamers cannot guarantee to maintain a settled itinerary and the economic speed of the different vessels of the same fleet varies very considerably, thus making such a service, if it was availed of for mails, irregular in the extreme. \n\n\"Without wishing to minimise the difficulties with which the London officials of the Post Office are concerned, it is, however, thought that if these officials kept in closer touch with the various steamship lines trading with the East, they could inform themselves more accurately as to when the various vessels might be expected to reach Hong Kong and/or Shanghai, with considerable advantage to the mails. I hope that representations of this fact may be made to the responsible authorities at home and that they will see fit to act upon it. \n\n\"At present the mails are coming out mostly via Bombay, whence they proceed overland to Negapatam, and from there a regular service is maintained to the Straits. The next stage is that they are sent forward as opportunity offers to Hong Kong and further up the coast, but there have been instances where good judgment has not been exercised as to the on-carrying vessel. The Hong Kong Chamber has kept a keen watch on this point, and it may be hoped and expected that the representations made by it through the Hong Kong Government will lead to the non-recurrence of such instances. It is at the instance of the Hong Kong Chamber that mails are now forwarded from Penang to Singapore by rail, which means the saving of at least twenty-four hours, and might mean the saving of several days by being able to take advantage of the earliest fast sailing from Singapore to Hong Kong. The weak link in this chain is that the mails do not always arrive in Bombay in fourteen days, as scheduled, thus dislocating all the connection. We may hope that with an improvement in the P. & O. service such incidents may be eliminated. \n\n## \n\nWhat I have said up to now refers particularly to the Suez route, and this route must ever remain the principal one for our friends in the South of China. But for those of us in the Yangtze district and the more northern ports, the Pacific route affords an excellent opportunity for communicating quickly with the Homeland. It is not difficult to imagine, therefore, with what consternation we learnt last July that a dispute had arisen between the Canadian Government and the Canadian Pacific steamers with regard to the subsidy for carrying mails, with the result that a large consignment of mails, which were already on board one of the big Empresses at Vancouver, was unloaded at the last moment and had to come along by slower vessels, entailing a delay of at least two weeks. \n\n\"It was naturally thought at the time that a way would soon be found out of the impasse that had arisen, but here we are four months later and, as far as one can find out, there is no immediate prospect of this particular service being resumed. I think you will all agree with me in urging on His Majesty's Government the great value there is to this not unimportant British community in the Far East that arrangements should speedily be concluded for the resumption of the carriage of mails from England by the Empress boats. By this route we can at least expect one or more fast mails per month, and though this is by no means the ideal for which we are striving, it is at any rate a very desirable step to achieve. \n\n\"It is understood here that the dispute arose upon refusal of the Canadian Government to pay the increased subsidy required by the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services. I have been privileged to see a letter dated the 30th August, written by the Department of Trade and Commerce to Dr. Ross, the Canadian Trade Commissioner here, on this subject and it would appear therefrom that the Post Office Department claim that they could get done for 10,000 dollars what the Canadian Pacific Railway ask 400,000 dollars for. The Canadian Pacific Railway then offered to take whatever the regular postal rates were, but the Post Office Department stated that under the International Postal Union, if they put any mails on the Canadian Pacific Railway at all, they would be obliged to carry all other foreign mails for all countries within the Postal Union. The letter concludes with the statement that the matter is now engaging the attention of the Government. \n\nAs such a small part of the mail which should be taken by these steamers emanates from Canada itself, the bulk being mail in transit for the United Kingdom, it is perhaps a not unreasonable attitude for the Canadian Government to take up. But we would urge on the Imperial Government seriously to consider whether it is not in a position to take on its own shoulders the extra subsidy required, in recognition of the big service it would thus do to British commercial interests. Should it be necessary and feasible I am quite sure that merchants would be only too glad to pay an extra fee for letters routed via Vancouver, when the connections are suitable.\" \n\nIn seconding the resolution on behalf of Chefoo, Mr. Railton said:— \"Mr. Massey has left very little for me to say in seconding this resolution unless it may be to bring forward a couple of instances to prove that very serious blunders or mistakes have been made by the authorities somewhere between London and Chefoo. In the first instance copies of five different letters reached us earlier than the originals whereas the originals were posted a week before the copies. A friend of mine left London on the 11th April on the 'Delta', and seeing advices that there was a mail for China on the 3rd April he posted a letter to his people in North China on the 1st April. He came straight through and landed in Chefoo after spending a fortnight in Shanghai. And he waited two weeks before the mail which he posted on the 1st April reached its destination.'' \n\n## \n\nMr. L. E. N. Ryan (Canadian Pacific Ocean Services (Limited)), said:— \"There is one point which Mr. Massey mentioned in his speech and that is that the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services had asked for an increased subsidy. increased subsidy was asked for but it was finally decided to ask the Canadian Government to renew the subsidy at the same figure which it was fixed at five years ago. When that was fixed the Siberian route was open and most mail matter went that way. During the war we got a great deal of mail which used to go through Siberia and the subsidy was not a profitable one during that time. I think you can hardly blame the Canadian Pacific Ocean Services for asking for the subsidy to be at the same rate as before the war despite the fact that a great deal of mail is still coming out that way.\" \n\nPage 493",

        "content_text": "## The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, which is one of the most powerful banking institutions in the world. This bank, besides its immense business in exchange and in financing trade, has been connected with almost all the principal Government and railway loans in China. It is associated with Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. in the British and Chinese Corporation for railway construction, and it is the leading bank in the British loan consortium group. In 1919 this bank distributed net profits to the amount of $10,000,000, or nearly £2,000,000 at the rate then current. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and the Chartered Bank issue a currency of bank notes. The Mercantile Bank of India has branches at Hong Kong and Shanghai (see also Appendix VIII).\n\nBritish insurance companies are well represented by branches and agencies in the China ports; and the following British firms have developed out of our trade with China—Union Insurance Society of Canton (Limited), North China Insurance Company, Yangtsze Insurance Association (Limited), China Mutual Life Insurance Company, Canton Insurance Office (Limited), China Fire Insurance Company (Limited).\n\n## X.—Boxer Indemnity\n\nOut of an original total of £67,500,000, Great Britain's share was £7,593,081. Including interest, the balance due to Great Britain in May 1921 £9,740,600 9s. 2d. Payment should be completed in 1945.\n\n## XI.—Loans\n\nReference to Appendix IX will show that Great Britain is interested solely or jointly in about £21,956,500 of China's war indemnity debt, in about £30,185,000 of the railway debt and in about £32,858,336 of the general debt. These sums cover a large proportion (between one-half and three-quarters) of the total foreign indebtedness of China.\n\n## XII.—Railways\n\nThe China Annual Report of 1919 states: \"Our position in the railway question is a very strong one.\" Appendix IV shows that out of 6,835 miles of railway operating in China, Great Britain has financed and constructed 825 miles; and is financially interested in 1,958 miles more. Furthermore, we hold concessions or are in course of negotiations for a further 2,500 miles. The report quoted above states:-\n\n\"If the London market is not disposed to make an effort to finance these projects a solution will have to be found, and found soon, by putting into practice the much-talked-of principle of Anglo-American co-operation. The British and American policy in China is one and the same, and though our manufacturers of railway material will be the losers in a field which was practically their own under our loan agreements, it is not reasonable (nor ultimately sound from the point of view of British interests) that a bankrupt Europe should retard the development of China when American capital could be obtained. China has suffered enough in the past from the political manoeuvres of the Powers, and so, incidentally, has British trade.\n\nUnless the consortium can come into action quickly, it would be better to abandon its concerted aims, and to allow our financial interests to make a completely new start with the Americans alone. Even the addition of the French would prove a complication. Not more than two or three Powers can profitably be associated in railway construction in China. A larger number results in much interesting discussion in London or Paris and an immense telegraphic correspondence, but seldom or never in any advance of railway construction. British trade requires at least 20,000 miles of railway within the next few years and is not disposed to wait indefinitely for the formation of an unwieldy and probably unworkable consortium to obtain its object.\"\n\n## XIII.—Industrial Concerns\n\nAppendix I gives a list of British industrial concerns in Hong Kong and China, of which twenty-eight are in Hong Kong, thirty-seven in Shanghai, twenty-five in Tientsin, ten in Hankow, and twenty-three in other cities. The dockyards, sugar refineries, cement works, rope works and works of public utility (gas, electricity, light, tramways, waterworks, &c.) at Hong Kong are a valuable asset to the British position in China, and a model for the Chinese to emulate. So are the cotton mills in Shanghai, of which British interests control five and Japanese five. As is only right and natural, our principal competitors in the development of China's industries will be the Chinese themselves. They already own thirty-five cotton mills in China, and have seventeen new mills in course of erection. Rice mills, bean mills, flour mills and silk factories are almost all in Chinese hands. The principal iron foundries are either Japanese-owned (as Penhsifu and Anshantien in Manchuria) or Japanese-controlled (as the Hanyehping Works at Hankow). British companies own two important shipbuilding works in Shanghai; and British industrial enterprise in China should be capable of expansion, especially in the direction of joint Sino-British enterprises.\n\n## XIV.—Wireless\n\nThe British Marconi Company last year signed a series of three agreements with the Chinese Government: (1) to supply the Chinese War Office with wireless telephones for ten years; (2) to erect a chain of wireless stations between Peking and Kashgar, with a loan of £600,000; (3) to form a **Sino-British National Wireless Telegraph Company** for a factory for wireless apparatus, with exclusive rights for twenty years.\n\n## XV.—Aviation\n\nSix large passenger-carrying machines and two avros have been purchased by the Chinese Government from the Handley Page Company, and a contract has been signed with Messrs. Vickers for the supply of one hundred Vickers-Vimy aeroplanes (with a loan of £1,800,000). A British Royal Air Force officer has been engaged as aviation adviser to the Chinese Government.\n\n## XVI.—Cables\n\nThe Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegraph Company (British) is one of the principal cable companies operating in China. Its rival and associate is the Great Northern Telegraph Company (Danish), with which it shares a special concession from the Chinese Government; and the line of the Commercial Pacific Company (American) touches China at Shanghai. There is a Dutch-German cable from Shanghai to Yap (`Deutsch-Nederlandisch-Telegraphen Gesellschaft`), whose future has not yet been disposed of. The chief line to Japan (Shanghai-Nagasaki) is controlled by the Danish Company, but the Japanese Government have the right to lay another line of their own. The Japanese own a cable between Sasebo (Japan) and Dairen, and between Dairen and Chefoo. The German cables, Tsingtao to Chefoo and Tsingtao to Shanghai, were transferred to Japan by the Treaty of Versailles, Article 156.\n\n## XVII.—Mining\n\n| Firm | Location | Tons |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kailan Mining Administration | Chibli | 4,100,000 |\n| Peking Syndicate | Honan | 600,000 |\n| Total |  | 4,700,000 |\n\nThe other principal modern coal mines are the Japanese-owned or Japanese-controlled mines in Manchuria, Shantung and Kiangsi, which in 1920 produced 4,060,000 tons. The Kailan Administration has concluded an agreement for exploitation of the Tatung coalfields in North Shansi; and is negotiating for an iron concession in the Yangtsze Valley. The principal iron mines (Manchuria and the Hanyehping deposits) are controlled by the Japanese. British and American companies are negotiating for gold concessions (co-operative), and an American company has concluded a preliminary agreement for the exploitation of mineral resources in Yunnan.\n\nThis right is being contested by the United States Government on the ground that it constitutes a monopoly, and conflicts with the doctrine of the Open Door.\n\nPage 716",

        "content_text": "The preliminary difficulty in negotiations was that the Union demanded a flat percentage of increase to be effective over all lines, notwithstanding that some Shipping Companies, comparatively recently, had voluntarily given an increase of some 18/25 per cent. to meet the higher cost of living. It was on this point that it became apparent at the outset that difficulties were almost sure to arise between the Union and the owners. It will be found, therefore, that as regards Companies who had not raised the scale of wages for a series of years, the Seamen's demands have been met to a considerable extent and it was the general opinion of the Shipping Companies I have had the honour to represent that substantial concessions should be made by such lines. It is with pleasure I have to record that the Chinese owners were among the first to acquiesce in the suggestion put forth that this immediate increase should be made.\n\nIt will be noted that the Shipping Companies have been formed into groups, and negotiations eventually progressed upon a basis of percentages for various lines. The result has been that where low pay was in evidence the owners were willing to concede generous terms and although the original Seamen's demand in this particular respect is for an increase of 40 per cent. it will be seen that they eventually accepted 30 per cent. In contradistinction, it must be pointed out that in the case of the higher paid services, such as European and Pacific lines, the original demands called for between 30/40 per cent. increase and the settlement resulted in the men accepting 20 per cent, and 15 per cent. The attached schedule of percentage speaks for itself and I consider represents a correct and impartial resumé of the Agreement arrived at.\n\nDr. Jamieson's attitude at the time he entered the negotiations until the final settlement of dispute was, that he would not be a party to anything unless it was fair to both sides, and while the general commercial problem was becoming daily more difficult, I give it as my opinion, shipowners, in making such concessions as they have done, were not unduly influenced by anything other than the grave commercial hold up and of the hardship entailed on those entirely disinterested in points of disagreement between the Union and shipowners.\n\nI give this opinion with all due reserve but feel that my remarks are in line with the general views of shipowners.\n\nClause 2.-It will be noted that it has been agreed men will receive half pay from such time as they left their vessels until their return. That they may be re-instated to\n\n(a) Their own Company's vessels.\n\n(b) Other vessels as may be mutually agreed upon.\n\nFurther, it is agreed that those men available, will receive half pay until such time as re-instatement can be effected, but the time limit of such half pay shall not exceed months. In this connection it is the opinion of shipowners that there was far from a unanimous desire on the part of employees to leave their vessels and that they only did so under severe intimidation which unfortunately existed. In the circumstances it was agreed, and I think rightly so, that men forced out of their positions through no fault of their own and in fear of bodily harm, not only to themselves but their dependents, many situated in Chinese territory, called in the circumstances for a considerate decision on the part of shipowners.\n\nAdmittedly such consideration might be construed as an undesirable precedent in the commercial future of the Colony, and recognising this the shipowners took the opinion of the special strike committee of the Chamber of Commerce before conceding the point. As regards the Fund referred to for meeting the expenses (in the shape of half pay) of Seamen whose ships are not immediately available, I would say that my understanding is that this will be met by a Fund arranged between Dr. Jamieson and certain prominent Chinese gentlemen of the Colony, headed by Sir Robert Ho Tung, as mentioned in the Government Gazette of Saturday last. So far as strike pay is concerned in the case of unabsorbed seamen, I must explain that late in the evening of the 4th instant when the hitch in signing the Agreement occurred, Dr. Jamieson and myself were confronted with an unreasonable demand in the shape of a guarantee of 6 month half pay if positions were not open for returning seamen on their arrival. This demand was largely responsible for the breakdown or suspension of negotiations, as Dr. Jamieson stated it was not fair to ask the Shipping Companies to accept it, and on behalf of the Shipping Companies I stated I saw no hope of such an unwarranted concession.\n\nPage 231",

        "content_text": "£18\n\nSteamship Companies concerned, it was unanimously decided that the Companies should deal direct with their own crews.\n\nThanking you for your kind offer of assistance. The next morning, 13th January (Friday), I replied to Mr. Sutherland as follows:-\n\n\"The Chinese Seamen's Wages. \"Your letter of yesterday's date was not delivered to our Mr. M. K. Lo until 7 o'clock last evening and we note that it was unanimously decided by the principal steamship companies concerned that the companies should deal with their own crew.\n\n\"As a matter of record, we desire to state that yesterday morning we stated not only that we were representing the interests of the Chinese Seamen's Union, but also that our clients under our advice had agreed to postpone the strike if you and the other principal steamship companies would let us know, in the course of yesterday, that they were willing to negotiate, in order to allow time for the matter to be decided by negotiation.\"\n\nThe strike was now on, and, beyond writing a few letters on behalf of the Union to Captains of steamers relating to the Chinese crew, there was nothing for me to do that day.\n\nTHE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS &\n\nPrevious to this, it may be necessary to state, the Committee formed at the meeting of the Tung Wah Hospital had offered to mediate, which fact precluded me from acting on the suggestion originating from Canton.\n\n[March 25th, 1922\n\nREMINISCENCES OF THE\n\nSTRIKE:\n\n[BY ALICE GRANT-SMITH.]\n\nOn the 11th February I wrote officially to the Secretary of Chinese Affairs and set out the proposals in detail. One hardly knows where to start with your strike recollections. There has been such a jumble, comedy and discomfort overlapping one another, and already the comedy takes premier place in memory's gallery.\n\nI was sent for by the Hon. Mr. Hallifax and informed verbally that the Government could not in any case accept the proposal embodied in paragraph \"b\", and, regarding the proposals generally, he suggested that, as the mediation was in the hands of the Tung Wah Hospital, I should do nothing further in the matter. I do not wish to appear \"wise after the event,\" but I may mention that at this interview I expressed strongly the view that the Government should permit the re-opening of the Union on the men returning to work.\n\nFeeling that some good could be achieved, and no harm done, by pursuing the friendly tentative efforts at negotiations, I telegraphed to Canton and offered my personal services if they were required.\n\nOf course, such an experience as we have recently passed through in Hongkong was funnier and infinitely more uncomfortable than it could have been in any other country, where the ordinary comforts of civilisation obtain in bathrooms and kitchens and where people are not absolutely dependent, as they are here, on their servants for the most primitive services.\n\nWe used to talk of the Peak Tram as a leveller, where Taipan and junior met on terms of equality and class-distinction could only be indicated by the frigidity or cordiality of bows; but now we have had a supreme and more effective leveller.\n\nUnfortunately, as the Canton gentleman held no official status in relation to the Seamen, both he and I had reluctantly to leave matters very much as they were, but the altruistic motive of the originator of the proposals cannot be too highly commended, and I only regret that respect for confidential communications does not permit of my disclosing the name of one who had really exerted his best endeavours to bring the parties at variance to an agreement at a time of emergency.\n\nLife was hard enough down below, but it had its compensations even when the kitchen floor gurgled and sobbed as the damp oozed up underfoot for two cruel days, and husbands came home laden with mops and wooden trellis mats to keep dry the feet of the all-of-a-sudden-capable cook-general who had taken the place of a large staff of Chinese servants.\n\nOn the whole, the cook-general took kindly to their new work and took wailing babies off the hands of unaccustomed mothers who, many of them, were getting to know their babies for the first time and were wondering whether they had not rather over-rated the charms of the little darlings.\n\nCook-generals who only had the duties of cook-generals and coolies, and not baby-amahs, to perform, hurried through their new work.\n\nThe next, the 14th January (Saturday), one of the Officials of the Union called on me and we discussed the position. I pointed out to him that the matter should be decided by arbitration and that the refusal to arbitrate would be taken as an implication that the seamen were afraid to subject their demands to an impartial investigation and that such demands would consequently be considered unjustifiable.\n\nAfter a long discussion, he authorised me to tell the Secretary for Chinese Affairs that the Union would agree to leave the matter to be decided by two arbitrators, one to be appointed by each side, and, in case of disagreement, by an umpire to be appointed by the arbitrators. But the Union Official wanted me to stipulate the condition that the arbitration should proceed on the principle that the award should go only as to quantum.\n\nI at once proceeded to see the Secretary for Chinese Affairs and laid the proposal before him, but, as the members of the Union afterwards declined to proceed to arbitration, the details of this conversation are now immaterial.\n\nAfter this I did nothing further professionally.\n\nOn the 10th February I received a confidential communication from an English gentleman occupying a position of importance and responsibility in the service of the Chinese Government in Canton, wherein it was suggested to me the possibility of the settlement of the strike on the following basis:-\n\nUnion's first letter of demand for an increase dated the 25th November, 1921, their second letter dated 23rd December 1921, and their third letter dated 12th January, 1922, have none of them been answered. And as we now know, on the very day I myself came on the scene, i.e., the 12th January 1922, the shipowners still took up the attitude of a determined refusal to negotiate with the Union, and elected to deal direct with their own crew.\"-Yours faithfully,\n\nM. K. LO.\n\nHongkong, March 21st, 1922.\n\nOne young mother could not think why baby suddenly turned from a peaceful, beautiful, sleeping young god into a peevish crying brat, until she discovered that her amah had been giving him powders to keep him quiet at night. I am told the young mother is now going in for a course of instruction in Mother-craft.\n\nNot only in the baby line have there been revelations. Boys have been discovered to have feet of such muddy clay that their imprints have been left wherever they went, and it will take months of supervised cleaning to remove their traces.\n\nIn the good old days, old-fashioned fathers and husbands who loved to encourage the home and fireside ideals in their women-kind said that \"the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.\"\n\nThe Hongkong public has discovered a new truth-a woman who can cook a good dinner may defer a strike settlement.\n\nAs early as the second day after the departure of our servants a rumour was circulated that the strike was likely to be settled within a few hours and all the demands of the seamen be granted,\n\n'big noises' because one of our social stars of extreme brilliance, a dresser beyond criticism, an artist in making the home beautiful, could deck her table and grace her board, but she could not provide the table with food. Think of the tragedy! Money to burn, means to pay a No. 1 and No. 2 boy, a No. 1 and a No. 2 cook, but no food.\n\nEIGHT-HOUR DAY ON SCOTTISH RAILWAYS.\n\n(a) The promise of a definite minimum increase in wages based upon the offer made by the shipping companies published in the Daily Press of the 18th January to commence from day of resumption of work, and the appointment of an arbitration board to decide upon the maximum advance and the date from which all advances shall take effect.\n\n(b) Consent to the re-establishment of the Seamen's Union in Hongkong concurrently with resumption of work, it being further understood that regulations to govern all Unions in Hongkong will be drawn up by the Government without delay.\n\nThe National Wages Board has tactfully handled the thorny problem of the Scottish Railways dispute, in which the employers sought to abandon the principle of an eight-hour day, thereby arousing the suspicion of Labourites throughout the country that an attempt was being made to introduce the thin end of the wedge with a view to the subsequent general abandonment of that principle. The Board framed a compromise, upholding the eight-hour day, except for a small category at wayside stations, and stipulated the agreement was not to be regarded as a precedent for the abandonment of the principle elsewhere.",

So hopeful were Sun Yat-sen and his emissary of this request being granted that they had made all the necessary arrangements for von Hintze being secretly taken to Government headquarters in Canton, in order...\n\nOwing to the breakage of an oar, a sampan became unmanageable and capsized off the Kowloon Wharf this morning. A woman was drowned.\n\nKEMALISTS REACH NEUTRAL ZONE.\n\nFrench and Italian Contingents Withdrawn.\n\nANGORA INSISTS UPON OCCUPATION OF THRACE.\n\nReuters' Service.\n\nConstantinople, September 21. The French and Italian detachments and flags were to-day removed from Ismid, the Dardanelles, and the neutral zones on orders from their respective Governments. The lines are now held exclusively by British troops, supported by the combined Atlantic and Mediterranean Fleets.\n\nThe Kemalist vanguard is reported to have reached the neutral zone of the Dardanelles, and the next few hours will show whether they contemplate action. The Kemalist representative at Constantinople declined to pledge that the Kemalists would respect the neutral zone, although he was warned that an offensive would mean war with Britain.\n\n\"Continue Until Achievement of National Aims.\"\n\nLater.\n\nHamid Bey, the Angoran representative, interviewed, entertained scant hope of a successful outcome of the conference between the French High Commissioner and Mustapha Kemal, because nothing will alter Angora's determination to occupy Thrace. The Angora Assembly, by an overwhelming majority, authorised Kemal to continue the war until the achievement of the national aims.\n\nA partner in a contractor's firm at 195, Temple Street, Yau-ma-tei, is alleged to have absconded with a sum of $500 which he had collected on behalf of the firm.\n\nTheir Smyrna Refugees' Plight.\n\nThe British, French, and Italian Consuls at Mitylene have wired to the High Commissioners at Constantinople stating that two hundred thousand Christians are still lying on the foreshore at Smyrna awaiting help and insisting upon urgent action, otherwise nobody will survive.\n\nMiners' Federation Against War.\n\nLondon, September 21. The Executive of the Miners' Federation has passed a resolution against the war policy of the Government as regards the Near East.\n\nPremier's Reply to Trades Union Deputation.\n\nLater.\n\nMr. Lloyd George, accompanied by Mr. Chamberlain, Sir Robert Horne, and Sir Worthington Evans, received a deputation of thirty members of the General Council of the Trades Union Congress, who voiced Labour's uncompromising peace policy in regard to the Near East.\n\nMr. Lloyd George, replying, explained the Cabinet's well-known views. He is understood to have pointed out that peace was always their aim, and contended that it was partly due to the Government's prompt action that the position was easier.\n\nNationalists Reported to Have Made Smyrna Their Headquarters.\n\nThere are many significant factors that must be borne in mind when considering this great strike for over a week.\n\nThe teachers of the Middle-School at Canton have been on strike, demanding the payment of 50 per cent. of their salaries in silver coin.\n\nThe Canton Times says that the movement is Bolshevistic in character, and that Sun Yat-sen has long been credited with revolutionary ideas and has in recent times openly espoused the labourers' cause.\n\nAdana, September 21. According to a message from Smyrna, Kemalist Ministers have assumed control, and it is reported, but not confirmed, that Smyrna will henceforth be the Nationalists' headquarters.\n\nAuthoritative quarters here express the view that the Turks will not attack the Allied troops in the neutral zone, which Turkey does not intend at present to cross.\n\nMr. Lew Yuk-lin, the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, is very keen on settling the Macao affair. He wishes to obtain full knowledge on the subject, and has called on the British Consul for certain information.\n\nNo Further Move, by Kemalists.\n\nConstantinople, September 21. The Kemalists have not made a fresh move in the direction of the neutral zone during the past twenty-four hours, and it is hoped by well-informed persons that the question will be settled peacefully to-day if the guarantees demanded by the Kemalists for immediate Greek evacuation of Thrace are forthcoming.\n\nKemalist Demands.\n\nParis, September 22. An inspired statement says that the British resolve to keep troops in the Asiatic zone has unfavourably impressed French and Italian circles, but understands that Angora will refrain, at least for some days, from any imprudent move.\n\nThe French Government has received information that Sun Yat-sen's secret documents, which were left behind by an official of Sun Yat-sen's South China Government when the leaders thereof were compelled to flee as consequence of General Yip Kai's coup, are incriminating to the point of absolute conviction.\n\nINDIAN INDUSTRIAL UNREST.\n\nIndications of Further Trouble.\n\nBombay, September 21. There are signs that India is on the verge of another spell of industrial unrest. In addition to the trouble at the Tata Iron and Steel Works, three-fourths of the Bombay tramwaymen have struck for an increase of wages.\n\nVessels arriving in port yesterday and to-day report bad weather. The Japanese steamers Hirano Maru, Asama Maru, and Kishu Maru had to put back to Hongkong owing to heavy seas, and the Sanka Maru, which arrived this morning, had to take refuge in Shito Bay, off St. John's Island, on account of the typhoon, for sixteen hours.\n\nCharged with the theft of a sheet and two towels from the Empress of Canada, Ah Kam, 19, unemployed, pleaded at the Police Court this morning that these articles were left behind by one of the boys and were not wanted. It was stated that the towels were found wrapped round the man's waist.\n\nCOUNCIL OF THE L. ON.\n\nIncrease in Non-Permanent Members.\n\nGeneva, September 21.

Sadi Lecointe, the well-known aviator, broke the world's aeroplane speed record by covering 213 miles in an hour.\n\nDUTCH AEROPLANE DISASTER.\n\nAmsterdam, September 21. A military aeroplane nose-dived into the Zuider Zee near Den Helder, the pilot and observer being drowned.\n\nGERMAN BANK RATE RAISED.\n\nBerlin, September 1. The Reichsbank has raised its discount from seven to eight per cent.\n\nFord Works Restarting.\n\nDetroit, September 21. The Ford motor-works are restarting now that coal is available.\n\nAMERICA'S NEW TARIFF BILL.\n\nWashington, September 21.

The knockout came after twenty-seven seconds of fighting in the eleventh round. Villa scored two knockdowns in the tenth round and then began pummeling Buff with both hands. He rushed Buff to the ropes and chased him across the ring.

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. He says:--The scare`ty of cargo for Europe which be came apparent during the latter half of 1920 continued well into the year 1921, during the first half of which steamers sailing homewards with large quantities of space in spite of important reductions in freights.\n\nwere\n\nYORK. 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.

MacWhirter.\n\nIf a body were to judge correct bouquet, tells them what fine fellows they are, and what a fine thing freedom is, especially for Queen's College aquatic sports being held in the V.R.C. bath on Friday next. Mrs. Severn is to distribute the prizes.\n\nAn occasional visit to a writer in the Bystander. Mr. M. E. F. Airey has been appointed to the St. John's Cathedral Church Body in place of Commodore Bowden-Smith.\n\nThe Canton teachers are not satisfied with the offers made to them by the authorities and threaten to strike on October 1st.\n\nA matshed occupied by quarrymen at Futaufat village, Shaukiwan, caught fire from an unknown cause yesterday and was burnt down. The loss of property belonging to the ten men who lived in the structure is valued at $100.\n\nA Chinese was taken to the Government Civil Hospital yesterday suffering from the effects of being knocked down by a motor car at the junction of Pokfulum and Queen's Road West.\n\nA Ricketty Entente.\n\nSo long as the nations of Europe have known the futility and ruin of war; they decided to try peace. They discuss; they agree; then up goes the ballyhoo and the war game starts again.\n\nChan's Apologia.\n\nGeneral Chan King-ming's apologia, a summary of which we published yesterday, is such a document as we would expect from such a man, who, we are convinced, has acted during the recent troubles in Canton with moderation.\n\nHis Excellency the Officer Administering the Government has been pleased to learn that Mr. Mishel Piastro, the Russian violinist who will be remembered by his former visits here in 1915 and 1918, is again with us for a few days.\n\nThe Yearly Invasion.\n\nWhat of the League of Nations? What of disarmament? What of the limitation of armament? I ask you. For what? To help the Greeks who dissolved a democratic government under President Venizelos and called the autocratic Constantine from exile to rule them? Or to punish the Turk?\n\nA coolie was knocked down at the junction of Pokfulum and Queen's Road West by a motor car yesterday and had to be removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nThe Bar Island Light has been re-exhibited since 23rd September.\n\nLieut. Col. A. Delacombe, D.S.O., having departed for the United Kingdom on 27th instant, is struck off the strength of the Command accordingly.\n\nThe Uncertificated.\n\nHow naive is the thing which was shown recently by the London County Council when it decided that a hundred unqualified girls should be drafted into the infant departments of the London Schools, this being considered the easiest branch of education.\n\nDefinite Aims.\n\nIt is clear from the concluding part of General Chan's manifesto that he has very definite aims in view for the future.\n\nA theft occurred aboard the s.s. Ducas yesterday, the cabin window of the chief engineer being entered, money and jewellery of the total value of $503 being stolen from a drawer which was broken open.\n\nCaptain Paulen Ducas, of the steamer Ducas, was similarly victimised, a sum of $130 being stolen in his case.\n\nMusic-lovers in Hongkong will be pleased to learn that Mr. Mishel Piastro, the Russian violinist, is passing through the Colony on his way to America, where he has had a successful stay of several years, giving concerts in all the principal cities and earning appreciation.\n\nMr. Piastro has been persuaded to give a recital in the City Hall on Wednesday afternoon next, when he will be assisted by Mr. Harry Ore.auctioning\n\nThe Macao Affair.\n\nMainly Historical.\n\nWork done in the infants department is the foundation of educational work in the senior departments. To trust that foundation to unskilled and unqualified persons is to endanger the whole super-structure and is false economy.\n\nI've often wondered if a branch of our National Union of Teachers out here wouldna' do a lot o' good in the matter of our children's education.\n\nUnhappily, a change for the worse has to be recorded. Dr. Wang was called away from Shanghai in connection with the retrocession of Tsingtao.\n\nIt is inferred from the Foreign Commissioner's letter that the terms proposed by Canton are stringent.\n\nNow it is stated by that journal that the acerbity engendered by the deplorable disturbances has had time to modify itself, a settlement ought to be practicable.\n\nMeantime we await with interest an official statement of the conditions.\n\nContinued on Page 7\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\n...\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364",

They would inform the Governor that the delegates had raised the question of men imprisoned for offences against the law, but they could hold out no hope of remission of sentence.\n\nIn reply to (c) an assurance was given that no officers or members of the Seamen's Union would be banished on the ground of holding office or of membership.\n\nIn connection with (d) the Government's representatives were impressed by a statement made by the delegates that ship's articles were written in English only and not in Chinese, and that in many cases men signed under the impression that they were entitled to various privileges which were refused to them when they went on shipboard. It was agreed that any members of the union who so desired should be allowed to take with them to the signing on or off of articles an interpreter from the union, with the proviso that this agreement was not to apply to foreign consulates. It was further stated that the matter of improving the Government's arrangements for providing an adequate interpretation of articles would be looked into.\n\nThe last point (e) was met by a promise that a public judicial enquiry would be held, and that the Government would be prepared to consider favourably the giving of compensation in the case of any persons who had been killed or injured.\n\nThe delegates thereupon agreed that a settlement satisfactory in every detail had been come to, and they issued a notice to that effect on the same evening.\n\nOn the morning of the 6th March the Governor in Council rescinded the Order in Council declaring the Seamen's Union to be an unlawful society, and on the same evening the necessary steps were taken to release persons held in custody on the ground of membership of the Seamen's Union, and also a number of other persons who had been detained for further enquiry in connection with the general strike.\n\nCHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[F1577/927/10]\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[April 26.]\n\nSECTION 1.\n\nConsul-General Jamieson to the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston.-(Received April 26.)\n\n(No. 3.) My Lord,\n\nCanton, March 17, 1922.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward herewith copies of a despatch which I have addressed to His Majesty's Minister at Peking, summing up the causes underlying the outbreak of the recent seamen's strike in Hong Kong.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJ. W. JAMIESON.\n\nEnclosure I in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Jamieson to Sir B. Alston.\n\n(No. 8. Very Confidential.) Sir,\n\nCanton, March 13, 1922.\n\nIN my immediately preceding despatch of the 11th March, I had the honour to submit a short account of the history and origin of the late seamen's strike, and I now propose to endeavour to analyse the causes underlying the attempt to transform it into what may well be described as an anti-foreign-if not purely anti-British-movement.\n\n2. As already reported, the recent apparent indifference of the shipowners towards the demands of the seamen for an increase of wages and the withdrawal of their counter-offer at an early stage resulted in an exodus of the men from Hong Kong into Kwangtung, where they were at once got hold of by the Kuo Min Tang and fell under the direct influence of Hsieh Ying-po, an arch-Socialist of the Marxian type. Sun Yat-sen, the acknowledged head of the Kuo Min Tang, was not slow to see that chance had placed in his hand a formidable weapon wherewith to annoy Great Britain, and more particularly the British colony of Hong Kong, against whom he cherishes deep-seated grudges of long standing, and accordingly gave the agitation the whole-hearted support of himself and his party.\n\n3. The grounds on which Sun bases his antagonism to us are many. He feels, in the first place, convinced that we are determined to crush his efforts to become the ruler of a united China under a Cantonese hegemony, and as indicative of this attitude he cites in season and out of season our refusal officially to recognise his Government. He ignores the fact that the other Powers equally refuse so to do, and lays the principal blame on us, because Sir John Jordan was for many years chief of the Diplomatic Body, and hence supposed largely to sway its decisions in matters such as allocation of customs surplus, arms embargo, &c., and because we are consistently loyal to the policy of recognising one Government only. With the exception of my French colleague and myself, all the local consuls have had relations, either official or unofficial, with him, and one at least did not fail to comment disingenuously on my attitude of aloofness. Capital will no doubt be made out of the present visit to Canton of the Minister of the United States of America, for the purpose of contrasting the American and the British attitudes. The various proscriptions to which Sun has from time to time been subjected in British colonies and the restrictions placed on the activities of his agents therein are additional grievances, as is the criticism levelled in the British press throughout the Far East against his fanciful projects for developing China. He is convinced that at the bottom thereof lies concealed a determination, by strangling the trade of Canton, to increase that of Hong Kong and to encroach more and more on Chinese territory. The most irrelevant facts are adduced to bolster up this fixed idea, such as our pressing for the completion of the loop-line, our naval patrol of the West River, the non-registration of Chinese schools in the Straits Settlements and Malaya-in short, any action we take, which, although perfectly justifiable in itself, may conflict with a theory of sovereign rights which he and his followers have set up for themselves.\n\n[8262 cc-1]\n\nB\n\n283",

        "content_text": "G \n\nI give this opinion with all due reserve, but feel that my remarks are in line with the general views of shipowners.\n\nClause 2.-It will be noted that it has been agreed men will receive half-pay from such time as they left their vessels until their return. That they may be reinstated to\n\n(a.) Their own company's vessels;\n\n(b.) Other vessels as may be mutually agreed upon.\n\nFurther, it is agreed that those men who return, for which vessels are not available, will receive half-pay until such time as reinstatement can be effected, but the limit of such half-pay shall not exceed five and a half months. In this connection, it is the opinion of shipowners that there was far from a unanimous desire on the part of employees to leave their vessels, and that they only did so under severe intimidation which unfortunately existed. In the circumstances it was agreed, and I rightly think so, that men forced out of their positions through no fault of their own, and in fear of bodily harm not only to themselves but to their dependants, many situated in Chinese territory, called in the circumstances for a considerate decision on the part of the shipowners.\n\nAdmittedly, such consideration might be construed as an undesirable precedent in the commercial future of the colony, and, recognising this, the shipowners took the opinion of the special strike committee of the Chamber of Commerce before conceding the point. As regards the fund referred to for meeting the expenses (in the shape of half-pay) of seamen whose ships are not immediately available, I would say that my understanding is that this will be met by a fund arranged between Dr. Jamieson and certain prominent Chinese gentlemen of the colony, headed by Sir Robert Ho Tung, as mentioned in the Government \"Gazette\" of Saturday last. So far as strike pay is concerned in the case of unabsorbed seamen, I must explain that late in the evening of the 4th instant, when the hitch in signing the agreement occurred, Dr. Jamieson and myself were confronted with an unreasonable demand in the shape of a guarantee of six months' half-pay if positions were not open for returning seamen on their arrival. This demand was largely responsible for the breakdown or suspension of negotiations, as Dr. Jamieson stated that it was not fair to ask the shipping companies to accept it, and on behalf of the shipping companies I stated that I saw no hope of such an unwarranted concession.\n\nDuring the final negotiations with delegates, Dr. Jamieson announced that the shipowners had refused the demand in connection with five and a half months' half-pay, and he considered that they were fully justified in so doing. Certain individuals, however, had come forward and said that, if it would assist a settlement, a fund to meet the case would be raised; no names of the guarantors were mentioned to the delegates. His Majesty's consul-general for Canton in his pronouncement appealed to the Seamen's Union and representatives of the Canton Chamber of Commerce to subscribe to the movement so generously put forward, and, as far as the Canton Chamber of Commerce are concerned, they promised to submit the proposal to their main body.\n\nFrom the Government \"Gazette\" of Saturday last I learned Sir Robert Ho Tung is responsible for the establishment of the fund in question, and I shall get in touch with him immediately to ascertain his views and the scope of the fund, also details of its administration. This in a measure is a charitable fund, entirely outside the province of the steamship owners, but at a meeting held on Wednesday last, when the agreement was ratified, I appealed to owners to do their utmost to generally assist the administrator, whoever he may be, in making a fair distribution under the terms of our agreement. It was, however, understood that the fund must be entirely disassociated with the shipowners and administered by an independent official.\n\nClause 3.-This deals with the system of engaging crews. It has long been recognised that the present system of engagement is unsatisfactory to the men, but unless they help themselves it is useless for owners to extend the hand of assistance. The system is not that of the owners, but of the men, and, speaking on behalf of the steamship companies concerned, I would say that we welcome, and will assist in the inauguration of, any scheme whereby the wages paid go in their entirety to the proper parties.\n\nThe unfortunate system of \"squeezing\" is not only prevalent in the engagement of seamen, but in nearly all Chinese dealings of a similar character; and if, as a result of the late unfortunate strike, a clean channel of remuneration will in the future exist between the masters and the men, it will, at any rate, have achieved a result of undoubted benefit to the community as a whole.\n\nThe foregoing, I trust, will convey the essential details of settlement, and a full report of negotiations will follow should you desire. It may be of interest to add that at the last meeting of shipowners it was unanimously agreed to form a Hong Kong shipowners' association, as it is hoped by so doing concerted action and better understanding as between employer and employee will result. Any assistance you can give in the formation and inauguration of such movement will be greatly appreciated.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nR. SUTHERLAND,\n\nChairman, Shipowners' Committee.\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nAgreement.\n\nIT is hereby agreed between the undersigned parties that the following are the terms of settlement on the matters in dispute between them :-\n\n1. The scale of wages paid at Hong Kong and in force on the 12th day of January, 1922, shall be increased as follows, and shall apply as from the 1st January, 1922:-\n\n(1.)

Consulate General and the British Senior Naval Officer in the line of fire, discharged their rifles. They were immediately ordered to cease fire and did so, and the firing from Canton stopped.\n\nThe Naval authorities state that, as far as their information indicates, there is no reason to suggest that the British seamen fired at the students.\n\nThere are five British gunboats in Canton at present time, the Tarantula, Moth, Moorhen, Robin, and Cicala.\n\n### THE CONTROL SCHEMES.\n**GOOD RESPONSE BY AMERICANS.** \n`GR1178/1922/32(III)`\n\n### NEWS FROM PAKHOI.\n\nOn enquiry at the City Hall this morning, our representative was informed that a very large number of Europeans have registered for service...\n\n## REFUGEES FROM SHAMEEN.\n\nThe compradore of Messrs. W. A. Hannibal and Co., who was in Canton yesterday and returned on the `Sai On` was interviewed by a Telegraph representative this morning, and he stated that the students and workmen were in a procession which had half-way passed the British bridge when they opened fire on the Shameen with rifles. The Shameen authorities replied and the Chinese suffered severe loss, the number killed and wounded being estimated by some as between thirty and forty, others placing the figure as high as a hundred.\n\nA man who was being rowed in a sampan to the `Sai On` was almost alongside the vessel when he dropped dead in the bottom of the sampan.\n\nIn addition to British and American gunboats, there are now at Canton a Japanese destroyer, and three French gunboats, namely the Altair, the Argus and the Vigilante.\n\n### 600 ARRIVING THIS AFTERNOON.\n\nCHINESE LABOUR.\n**DR.

It is true that one French resident was killed, but Mr. Edwardes was only slightly wounded and has sent a telegram to Hongkong to-day stating that he is coming down here.\n\nThere is an absence of definite information regarding the number or identity of the other people wounded and also nothing authentic regarding the effect of the return fire upon the Chinese.\n\nThe Hongkong Government had heard, this morning, of a rumour stating that about 800 students had been killed but this is, obviously, untrue. The news of the affair was first received here by the Naval authorities late last evening.\n\n### ANOTHER VERSION.\n**MANY CHINESE CASUALTIES REPORTED.** \nThe compradore of Messrs. W. N.

I was also desirous of securing unanimity as far as possible, in order to obviate the subsequent boycotting of individuals by the agitators. I therefore suggested privately to the heads of most of the British firms that they should pay half wages for the period of the strike, a suggestion which they adopted. Two or three head offices, including those of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire and of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, had instructed their agents to pay full wages for the whole period, but on representations being made to them they allowed their agents to fall into line with the rest.\n\nThe French and the Japanese Consuls also agreed to this arrangement, which they subsequently informed me had been carried out by most of their nationals. Many of the other residents followed suit, although some paid 75 per cent of wages for the strike period, and a few, I believe, full wages. Some, on the other hand, paid no wages at all. There were very few complaints, however, most of the employees being only too glad to escape from the thrall of the agitators and to be allowed to return on any terms. A certain number were not taken back, chiefly such as had been given notice before the strike; a very few also for having deliberately disordered their employers' quarters before leaving.\n\nI enclose herewith copies of two letters received by me from the Consulate linguists during the strike (enclosures 1 and 2), which make it perfectly",

Polishwalla & Kotwall, cotton and yarn brokers, in their report on the Indian yarn market, state:-\n\nHongkong, July 20,\n\nSince our last report of June 21, much activity has continued in our yarn market, due to good inquiries from consuming centres, which has resulted in substantially large sales both in \"spot\" and \"to arrive\" at an advance of $2 to $5 per bale. 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 to September and latest quotations show higher prices than those ruling in our market.\n\nTotal Sales 4,500 bales.\n\nUnsold Stock 3,000 bales.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nTYPHOON NEWS.\n\nJuly 21. According to the direction given, the latest typhoon from the Pacific Ocean is making tracks for Hongkong.\n\nLatest reports give its position as to the South-West of the Colony, outside the 300 miles radius (of the Colony) but close to it.\n\nThe direction indicates that unless there is a deflection, it will strike land a little to the West of Hongkong.\n\nNo. 1 local signal was hoisted to-day at 12.05 p.m. This red cone, pointing upwards, means that typhoon exists which may cause a gale in Hongkong in 24 hours.\n\nThe forecast for Hongkong and coast, till noon to-morrow, is:--\n\nLight, variable winds, possibly increasing to a gale from the North-East, or North-West: fine at first, rain later.\n\nBANQUE DE L'INDO-CHINE.\n\nHEAD OFFICE:\n\n96, Boulevard Haussmann, Paris.

The first is based on the average expenditure for 1924 and 1925, which we have verified. We have accepted your estimate for laying up charges.\n\nNo charge has been made for expenses of Management other than Agency Fees, which would probably not have been charged had the vessels been laid up for a lengthy period.\n\nNo depreciation has been charged, though in our opinion the wastage incurred when the vessels are on service might be greater than when they are laid up.\n\nSubject to the foregoing we certify that the additional loss incurred through running the vessels for the above period was $27,156.42.\n\nWe are, dear Sirs,\n\nYour faithfully,\n\nLowe, Bingham & Matthews",

        "content_text": "33\n\n32\n\nChinese official or commission to impugn the veracity of my statement as to what I actually saw with my own eyes, i.e., that fire was opened from the Chinese side.\n\nThis morning Mr. Norman came to see me again, and we once more had a desultory talk over things in general. In the course thereof he informed me that the strictest instructions had been issued to all concerned that anyone guilty of provocative acts would be shot. I again informed him that, whilst from our side no cause of offence would be given, we could not afford to relax precautions, and asked him to convey to the authorities that the seventy to eighty Indian troops which arrive from Hong Kong to-day have been brought up for the sole purpose of relieving the naval ratings and special civilian police from duties, which they obviously cannot be expected to efficiently discharge for more than forty-eight hours on end, adding that in so far as it may be possible they will remain out of sight.\n\nAccording to Mr. Norman a new Government of the Province, consisting of nine members, is in process of formation and is to take office on the 1st July. Therein Mr. C. C. Wu will hold a portfolio as Mayor of Canton. Negotiations would appear, however, to be hampered by the uncompromising attitude of Chiang Chung Cheng (Chieh jen), the head of the Military School, who is anti-imperialist and an ardent Bolshevik.\n\nAll women and children have been cleared off the island: the British at Tungshan (eastern suburb) reached Hong Kong by train; others, such as a New Zealand mission at Kongchuen on the Yueh-Nan Railway, some 20 miles north of Canton, have been told to remain where they are, as I consider that it is preferable to remain stationary rather than to move about.\n\nThe Governor of Hong Kong handed to Reuter's Agency yesterday my anticipatory message of warning, addressed to Mr. C. C. Wu on the 22nd June, and it was transmitted in full by a “clear the line\" cable to London.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nEnclosure 4.\n\nJ. W. JAMIESON.\n\nCivil Governor of Canton, Hu, to Consul-General Jamieson.\n\nWITH reference to the procession to-day on account of the Shanghai case, when it had almost entirely passed the Sha Kei, the Shameen British concession soldiers and police suddenly opened fire with machine guns and rifles on the crowds in the procession on the other side of the canal. The soldiers and police of the French concession, hearing the sound, also at the same time opened fire. Likewise the Portuguese gunboat followed suit and opened fire with their big guns. The killed and wounded reached to a hundred and several tens in number.\n\nThe procession on this occasion was purely to show in the most civilised way the righteous indignation caused by the Shanghai case. But the British, French and Portuguese soldiers, police and gunboats nevertheless utterly disregarded the principles of humanity, and behaved with savagery. Moreover, this brutal killing was premeditated and secretly planned. When the Civil Governor heard of the particulars he was exceedingly amazed, and forthwith, in the first instance, is in duty bound to enter a most serious protest, as well as to state clearly that the entire responsibility for this affair rests upon the civil and military officials of the British, French and Portuguese soldiers, police and gunboats concerned.\n\nAs to the circumstances of the butchery and the number of the killed and wounded, investigation is now being made.\n\nAfter thorough investigation there will be further communication as to the adequate mode of dealing with the matter.\n\nJune 23, 1925.\n\nEnclosure 5.\n\nConsul-General Jamieson to Civil Governor, Canton.\n\nSir,\n\nCanton, June 24, 1925.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of the communication which you have been good enough to address to me on the subject of the shooting which took place yesterday on the Shakee Street.\n\nI would in the first place point out that, in this unfortunate affair, the Portuguese gunboat took no part whatsoever. It was the defence forces of the British and French Concessions alone, who replied to the attack made on them by Chinese troops or military students on the other side. I can, from the evidence of my own eyes, make a statement on oath that the firing was first started by the Chinese. As it was, the British senior naval officer and myself, who were standing unarmed by the bridge for the special purpose of guarding against any precipitate or nervous action on the part of the defenders, only escaped without lives out of the hail of bullets which was directed at us. It was only then that, in self-defence, fire was opened from this side, and by the French forces, which were similarly attacked. Firing from this side ceased even before sniping from the tops of the houses opposite by Chinese soldiers was discontinued.\n\nYou state that the action taken by the British and French authorities was premeditated. This I absolutely deny. The premeditation was on the part of Chinese troops or military students, who, as was well known beforehand, and as was pointed out by me to Mr. C. C. Wu, had determined to create an incident with a view to posing as martyrs afterwards. It was well known the day before in Chinese circles in Hong Kong and Canton that an attack on Shameen was contemplated and would take place the following day. The compradore of the Banque industrielle in Hong Kong told the French manager that the French concession would be looted on the 23rd, and requested him to send a wireless message to his colleague in Canton to place all valuables on board the French gunboat. In the forenoon of yesterday two motor cars were distributing leaflets throughout the city, signed by the Students' Union of the Military School of the Kwangtung army, inciting all and sundry to rise and chase out the foreigners.\n\nI repudiate in the most emphatic manner the charge that the responsibility rests with the foreigners. It is the Chinese who have to bear this heavy burden, and I hope shortly to lay before you evidence on oath of eye-witnesses in support of this assertion.\n\nI would, in the meantime, ask you to be so good as to take most complete measures for the safeguarding of the lives of British subjects who are resident in and around Canton.\n\nEnclosure 6.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nJAMES JAMIESON.\n\nFrench Consul to Civil Governor.\n\nM. le Gouverneur civil,\n\nCanton, le 23 juin 1925.\n\nAUJOURD'HUI, à 3 heures, les troupes chinoises, armées et approvisionnées de munitions, qui faisaient partie de la manifestation passant sur le quai chinois, ont, sans aucune provocation de notre part, ouvert le feu sur la concession française. Un paisible commerçant français, M. Pasquier, a été tué; un autre résidant étranger a été blessé; des dommages très importants ont été infligés à diverses maisons. C'est seulement après avoir reçu de nombreuses balles que nos soldats ont répondu au feu pendant un temps très court. Quant à nos bateaux de guerre, l'un d'entre eux a tiré trois coups à blanc et pas un seul obus.\n\nJ'aurai naturellement à vous présenter des demandes d'indemnité pour la réparation de ce meurtre et de cette attaque absolument injustifiés. Mais, pour le moment, la question importante n'est pas là. Ce qu'il s'agit de savoir c'est si votre Gouvernement approuve ou désapprouve cette agression des troupes, si vous êtes décidé à maintenir l'ordre ou à laisser le désordre se renouveler et s'étendre, si, comme le Secrétaire des Affaires étrangères l'a affirmé récemment, vous entendez protéger la vie et les biens des étrangers, ou si, répudiant complètement les obligations qui découlent des traités\n\n[14166]\n\nF\n\n511\n\nf",

        "content_text": "48\n\n16th June up to the present date); a party was landed, but no action was necessary. On the 2nd July the strike and boycott began. \"The unions, which in Swatow appear to be merely another name for the Kuomintang, have terrorised the whole population of the city, and the authority of the unions is the only authority now functioning.\" His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires protested to the Peking Government on the 22nd July, reserving the right to demand compensation (Peking despatch No. 531 of the 28th July).\n\nHis Majesty's consul wrote on the 20th July: \"All the British and Japanese are practically in a state of siege. We can buy no food, we have no service either in offices or houses, we cannot hire rickshaws or sampans. We are isolated, outlawed and ostracised. It is bad enough that any Englishman should be subjected to treatment of this sort in a country like China, but that the representative of the British Government, even if he is only a consul, should be compelled to do not only the work of office boy and messenger, but even that of the lowest class of coolie, is, I think, intolerable.\" The ruling authority in Swatow during July and August seems to have been \"the Society for the Support of Diplomatic Relations,\" i.e., the Strike and Boycott Committees, to whom the Chinese Commissioner for Foreign Affairs referred all questions regarding the loading and unloading of foreign ships (Peking despatch No. 583 of the 17th August).\n\nIn a general report on the boycott throughout China (Peking despatch No. 713 of the 13th September), His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires reported concerning Swatow: \"Boycott is unpopular with Chinese merchants. Boycott started by local students, but has latterly been controlled from Canton by Kuomintang for political purposes. Boycott and strike openly supported by Cantonese officials, who are entirely in the hands of the strikers' unions.\"\n\nIn consequence of these conditions robberies occurred on British properties, and even at the house of the British vice-consul himself. His Majesty's consul protested to the chief of police against the \"reign of terror\"; but this official ignored protests, and made speeches encouraging the strikers to \"persevere until all unequal treaties are abrogated.\" His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires renewed his protests to the Peking Government against these \"disgraceful events\" at Swatow, and again reserved the right to claim full reparation (Peking despatches No. 671 of the 18th September and No. 726 of the 3rd October).\n\nEarly in September General Ch'en Chiung-ming's anti-Communist army captured Swatow. But conditions did not greatly improve. Swatow was squeezed even more mercilessly than under the Communists. The \"anti-Reds\" started to advance on Canton, but only reached Waichow. On the 11th October they began to fall back before Chiang Kai-shek's forces. On the 6th November Chiang entered Swatow accompanied by several Russian officers; the anti-Communist army, an \"undisciplined, ill-armed, predatory gang, with no morale or enthusiasm,\" retreated into Fukien. \"The defeat of the Cantonese has resulted in renewed activities on the part of the unions and strikers. Pickets are again at work on the bund, examining incoming cargo and confiscating goods of British origin, which, under the last Administration, were beginning to appear in small quantities. Of the handful of domestic servants who ventured to defy the union and return to work, some have been kidnapped by the union and others have disappeared. Boats and rickshaws again refuse to accept British fares (I myself was turned out of a rickshaw two days ago).\n\nProcessions, meetings and lectures are the order of the day, and everything possible is being done to arouse restlessness and discontent among the people.\"* (Mr. Consul Kirke, in Peking despatch No. 880 of the 2nd December).\n\nEarly in January the Foreign Office received a letter from Messrs. John Swire and Sons (Messrs. Butterfield and Swire) reporting the deplorable conditions in Swatow. They observe: \"Arrangements have been made, at the request of the Hong Kong Government, by the China Navigation Company to provide a regular weekly call at Swatow from Hong Kong, so that the British community may be supplied with the necessary food-stuffs. We submit that under existing conditions the responsibility for the maintenance of the British community at Swatow should fall on His Majesty's Government and not on private enterprise.\" Messrs. Jardine, Matheson had already reported (in November 1925): \"Any Chinese doing any kind of work or service for the British here is promptly arrested by the Seamen's Union pickets, paraded with ignominy,\n\n• See in this connection Annex XIV, giving the speech delivered at Swatow on November 12 by a representative of the Canton Government, in which he deliberately urges the people of Swatow to continue the struggle \"until the very life of Hong Kong is wrung out of the colony.\"\n\n↑ It consists of about fifty persons, mostly merchants and missionaries.\n\n49\n\nbound and with a paper hat on his head, round the town, and forced to pay a fine and work for a period on the street-cleaning gang. Any Chinese taking so much as an empty sampan alongside a British ship would suffer the above penalties and have his sampan burnt in addition. You will realise, therefore, that it is utterly impossible for us to get any Chinese to work for us openly.\" In consequence of these representations the Foreign Office telegraphed to Sir R. Macleay on the 27th January, asking for his observations on the Swatow position and enquiring whether the withdrawal of the British community would be, in his opinion, disastrous (telegram No. 34 to Peking).\n\nThe question of Swatow has been taken up in the English press. The following (\"Morning Post\" of the 18th January) is a specimen:\n\nLE\n\nA British merchant, writing to the 'Morning Post' from Swatow, refers to the extremely bitter anti-British feeling running through all the reports in the Chinese newspapers. This correspondent states:-\n\n\"Swatow has only a small foreign population, but has extensive British shipping and trade interests, is closely connected with Hong Kong commercially, and was until recently the fifth port in China in point of commerce.\n\nSince July last every form of British activity in the port has been attacked by the Chinese with amazing ferocity. Trade ceased entirely on that date. Chinese in the employ of British subjects, in whatsoever capacity, were forced to strike, British property was destroyed and residences, offices and clubs were burgled and looted.\n\n\"We were insulted openly in the streets, local food supplies were completely cut off and communication about the port by rickshaw and boat was prohibited. There is no end to the tale of indignity and insult.\n\n\"No reason has been given for this atrocious treatment except the vague cry of 'British Imperialism.' The game still goes on, six months later. Both strike and boycott are pursued with unabated vigour and intensity. Loyal and friendly Chinese have been imprisoned, tortured and even murdered.\n\n\"The continued strain has broken up nearly every British home in the place. All this is the work of agitators, Bolshevik-trained and taught in Moscow and Canton. These people have a 'Red' military Government behind them. They are the people with the guns and therefore have the power.\n\n\"This scum on the surface of a great and kindly people is the only articulate element. The mass of decent, friendly Chinese have no voice, for woe unto any who, by word or action, show sympathy for the British. We who live out here are faced to-day with one of the most ghastly and tragic muddles in human history.\"\n\n[F 110/1/10]\n\nANNEX XIV.\n\nSpeech delivered by Chou En Lai, Chief of the Eastern Expedition, Political Department, on November 12, 1925, to Representatives of the Swatow Labour Unions on the subject of \"The Present Attitude of the Nationalist Government towards Labour and proper policy to follow in the Strike,\" as reported in the Swatow Native Press of November 13, 1925.-(Communicated by Mr. Leefe, January 8, 1926).\n\nthe\n\nTHE speaker began by saying that in South China there are only three important ports, namely, Hong Kong, Swatow and Amoy, and that in the Kwangtung Province Swatow is the most important point outside of Hong Kong.\n\n44\n\nContinuing, he said: China has suffered from the invasion of international capitalistic imperialism, that dwarfs and suppresses the growth of her industries. The worst effect of this aggression is felt and experienced in South China-namely, in Hong Kong, Swatow and Amoy. The value of the trade between Swatow and the British merchants of Hong Kong is at least 200,000 dollars per day. If Swatow can follow Canton in matters of strike and boycott, her importance will be on a parity with that of the provincial capital. The proof of this statement can be seen in the unusual apprehension felt by the Hong Kong Government when the strike and boycott were first declared here, and the said Government has attempted to break them up by hook or by crook.\n\n\"Seeing that the Nationalist Government was determined to side with labour in their dealings with foreigners, Hong Kong resorted to all conceivable means that might tend to the destruction of the Canton Government.\n\n[14166]\n\nH\n\n519",

        "content_text": "79\n\n78\n\nturn for help to Britain rather than to Russia. In this connection I would refer you to my despatch of the 24th December (secret), paragraph 3, my despatch of the 8th January (secret), paragraph 2, and my despatch of the 20th January (secret), paragraph 10. We are, however, decidedly against an annual payment to Canton from Boxer funds. In the allocation of Boxer funds, in our opinion no regard should be had to the Canton situation, and Kuangtung should not receive any payment while the boycott lasts. Delegation should not, in our opinion, proceed to Canton so long as relations between the Government of that place and Great Britain continue to be abnormal. We fear that there is no real desire for conciliation on the part of the Government of Canton, which is only inclined to put an end to the boycott on terms which would be humiliating to the colony and Great Britain.\n\nA settlement would probably be welcomed by the bulk of the population of Canton, but they are terrorised by the Strike Committee and are incapable of giving expression to their wishes. In Central and Northern China anti-British feeling has subsided, but, as the result of Bolshevik influence over the Government of Canton, there has been no improvement in this respect in Kuangtung. The suppression by the local Chinese authorities of the extremist elements in Central and Northern China has rendered possible there the realisation of the policy of conciliation.\n\nThe Government in Kuangtung, on the other hand, actually consists of the extremists.\n\nOn the 4th February I stated in the Legislative Council that the Government of Canton is expected and required by my Government to stop the illegal activities of the Strike Committee, that we consider that the responsibility rests on that Government, and that we are still willing to negotiate an honourable and permanent settlement with the Government of Canton. So far the Canton Government has declined to enter into negotiations. If they maintain this attitude in spite of my last offer, and should no success attend the action under the Washington Treaty which I have suggested, we shall have to consider whether the risk involved in the event of war separate warlike action in Kuangtung should not be taken. becoming unavoidable, I invite reference to my despatch of the 19th January (secret). We hope that in any statement which may be made in Parliament the suggestion in the last sentence of the telegram of the 1st February from His Majesty's Minister at Peking will be emphasised.\n\nANNEX XX.\n\nExtract from Morning Post of January 14, 1926.\n\nBRITAIN'S CHINA TRADE IN PERIL.\n\nTHE fear is growing that the colony and trading centre [of Hong Kong] will be actually lost. 1925 in China has lowered British prestige.\"\n\nThese are extracts from a telegram we have received from a prominent business man in China. The situation, indeed, so far as Britain is concerned, may be described as desperate.\n\nWhat that situation is in detail Mr. L. N. Leefe, chairman, and Mr. Stanley Dodwell, vice-president, of the China Association, explain below. The Chinese boycott prevents the carrying of merchandise by British ships. Trade in Hong Kong is at a standstill. British goods can only reach Canton by devious routes. In Swatow any Chinaman touching British cargo is liable to ignominious treatment.\n\nAn Incendiary Speech.\n\nA Chinese official, Chou En Lai, has publicly declared that the boycott and strike must be used to destroy imperialism, beginning with British Imperialism, that the life must be wrung out of the colony of Hong Kong, and that the Nationalist Government will help the attacks on the Imperialists.\n\nComplaint is made that British representatives in China have lacked initiative, while Bolshevism has fomented troubles at the expense of Great Britain. A man of strong character is wanted, and hopes are expressed that Lord Willingdon, during his mission to China concerning the Boxer Indemnity, may render help in the very serious emergency.\n\nA Desperate Position.\n\nWe have received the following telegram from a prominent business man in China, whose opinions are entitled to the closest attention:-\n\n\"British merchants very seriously apprehensive future of Hong Kong, which has been hopelessly defeated in the struggle in South China.\n\nFear growing colony and trading centre will be actually lost. 1925 in China has lowered British prestige to a large extent unequalled since Dutch guns threatened London in the seventeenth century.\"\n\nMr. L. N. Leefe, chairman of the China Association and a director of Matheson and Co., the China traders, issued a grave warning to the country with regard to Southern China in a special interview with a \"Morning Post representative last night.\n\nThe Morning Post telegram is in accordance with the situation as I see it,\" he said. British prestige and British trade in Southern China are going to be ruined unless the boycott is brought to an end. Trade in Hong Kong has been brought to an absolute standstill. British shipping companies are not trading with Canton and Swatow, and they will have to go out of business altogether unless the British Government does something about it.\n\nOne requisite in Southern China to-day for trading is that the trader should not be a British subject. Can anything be more humiliating? British diplomacy has totally failed to deal with the situation. The remedy must necessarily lie with the Foreign Office, but one theory is that negotiations should be carried out through Moscow. Some people go so far as to suggest that the trouble was made by Russia in retaliation for the British Government not ratifying the treaty last year.\n\nThe delegation which went from Hong Kong to Canton last week to complete a settlement by monetary payment proved completely fruitless, and thus the situation became further complicated.\n\n\"I have just received a letter from a prominent trader in Swatow, the South China port. He is a personal friend of mine, and his description of the situation there is almost past belief. He writes:-\n\nAny Chinese doing any kind of work or service for the British here is promptly arrested by the Seamen's Union pickets, paraded with ignominy, bound and with a paper cap on his head, round the town, and forced to pay a fine and work a period on the street-cleaning gang. You will realise therefore, that it is utterly impossible for us to get any Chinese to work for us openly.\n\nAs regards landing cargo with foreign assistance,\" you must recollect that the foreign community, which is very scattered, exclusive of missionaries, women and children, totals no more than about fifty persons in all, and of these a large proportion are not British. It could not be expected that, say, an American or a Dutchman would volunteer to work British cargo in the hold of a British ship, nor, for obvious reasons, would an Englishman thank us if we requested him to discharge cargo, consigned probably to Chinese, from one of our ships and carry the same to even our nearest godown. It is all that we can manage, with the assistance of British naval ratings, to land stores and provisions necessary to keep us alive, since we can buy no food locally.\n\n\"Strike conditions in this port cannot be compared with strike conditions in your port, since we have not a large foreign population to draw on from which bands of volunteers for different jobs can be obtained. Literally, everything has to be done by ourselves or else it is left undone.\"\n\nI have also just received an English translation of an extraordinary Inflammatory speech made by Chou En Lai, chief of the Eastern Expedition Political Department, which he made at the close of last year. The following are extracts from this speech :-\n\n\"China has suffered from the invasion of International capitalistic imperialism that dwarfs and suppresses the growth of her industries. The worst effect of this aggression is experienced in South China, namely, in Hong Kong, Swatow and Amoy. The value of the trade between Swatow [and other places]...\"",

Memorial services held in commemoration of the death of Koo Tsung Hung, the formulation to the Japanese mill owners of certain demands by the strikers, a threat to cut off the water and electric supply of the foreign settlement, the distribution of inflammatory pamphlets and handbills urging the farmers and labourers of China to unite, the ill-treatment of Chinese suspected of Japanese sympathies or of holding counsels of moderation are illustrations of the methods used in order to work up the feelings of an excitable and credulous Oriental mob and so inevitably to bring about a dangerous anti-foreign outbreak.\n\n29. The first hint received by the authorities of the International Settlement as to what might occur may be said to have been conveyed by the attitude of the meeting convened by the Shanghai Students Union on the 27th May in the Tung Tuh Medical School to discuss ways and means to oppose the proposal of the Shanghai Municipal Council to enact new bye-laws relative to printed matter and an increase in wharfage dues. Yuin Dai-ying, a well-known Chinese Communist, who is a teacher in the Shanghai University, stated at this meeting that, apart from the efforts of the Municipal Council to enact new, obnoxious bye-laws, which should be strenuously opposed, the existence of unjust bias in favour of oppression among the members of that body had been illustrated recently in the arrest by the police of students and others who were endeavouring to help the Chinese victims of the brutality of the Japanese capitalist cotton-mill owners. Amongst the resolutions then discussed and passed was one that measures be taken to secure the release of the students at present in custody in case they are not at liberty by the 30th May.\n\n30. On the 28th and 29th May the officials of the student organisations and of the labour unions were very active, in the Chinese districts situated outside the settlement limits strike pay being distributed, intimidation being resorted to and a flood of pamphlets and cartoons broadcasted. Resolutions, more particularly anti-Japanese, were passed at numerous meetings. On the 30th May some forty students belonging to the Vung Chi University and others from the South China University called at the Labour Union and stated that they would make open-air speeches everywhere in order to call people's attention to the cruelty displayed by Japanese in the recent trouble and to the necessity of boycotting their goods.\n\n31. The proceedings of the Mixed Court on the morning of Saturday, the 30th May, were probably largely responsible for the suddenness and violence of the rioting later in the day. It should be remembered that some half-dozen students had been held in custody for having participated in the mill riots, and the fact of their having been detained instead of released on bail, which they were unable to find, was apparently the first spark which set alight the anger of their comrades. When the six students appeared in court on the 30th May before a Japanese assessor and a Chinese magistrate, a large crowd of students assembled outside the court to await the result. The accused were again remanded and were each allowed $100 bail; but, being unable to provide this sum, they had perforce to remain in custody. Their removal to Louza police station, which is situated about one mile from the Mixed Court building, was the occasion for the outburst which had such unfortunate results: for when the accused were removed from the court, many of the students outside followed on foot to the Louza police station, apparently with the intention of rescuing their comrades.\n\n32. At 12:15 P.M., the Commissioner of Police, Mr. McEuen, who was about to leave police headquarters on his way to the club, heard by telephone that a procession of students was being formed outside the international boundary, probably with a view to demonstrating in the settlement, but he did not regard this as anything more than an ordinary student demonstration, so that at 1:15 he drove out to the Kiangwan racecourse, about five miles away, and returned to the Shanghai racecourse in the middle of the town at 2:30 P.M. At 1:55 P.M. a report was received at Louza police station that students were making speeches of an anti-Japanese nature and carrying flags with anti-foreign inscriptions at various points on the Nanking Road, and refused to move on or disperse when ordered to do so by the police. Inspector Everson in charge of Louza police station, and a party of European constables, proceeded to investigate and arrested three men, one of whom was actually making a speech to a crowd about 50 yards west of the station, with two others standing by waving flags. On arrival at the station, followed by a crowd of about 150, these students were placed in the charge room and admitted that the speeches were anti-Japanese and that they had arranged with students of other colleges to hold meetings at various points in the settlement to protest about the killing of a Chinese workman by Japanese. The three men arrested were charged and the crowd told to leave the station. This they refused to do, and they were therefore locked up. A few minutes later Inspector Everson proceeded to Tibet Road, where similar meetings were in progress, and arrested another student carrying an anti-Japanese banner. On being arrested one of these students stated that he did not know that he was forbidden to make anti-foreign speeches in the foreign settlement. On their arrest a large crowd again followed to the station, refused to leave and were taken into custody. At this stage it appears that Mr. McEuen, who was in the Shanghai racecourse, hearing that there was a large student demonstration, telephoned to Inspector Everson to enquire if he wanted any assistance and was informed in reply that Inspector Everson considered that he had sufficient force at his disposal to cope with the situation. This was about 2:30 P.M. At 2:45 the first act of violence occurred on Tibet Road, Police-Constable Stevens being knocked down by the crowd. The ring-leaders were arrested, and on arrival at the station many of those following forced their way into the charge room, that is to say, the crowd pushed their way down a cul-de-sac, about 60 yards long and 8 yards wide, leading from Nanking Road itself into the centre of Louza police station. There was a considerable hubbub going on. Inspector Everson estimated that there were at least 100 in the charge room and 300 outside between the charge room and Nanking Road. Orders were given to clear the police station, in which were stored some 2,000 rounds of ammunition and a quantity of police arms, automatic pistols and carbines, these being in an open room immediately opposite the charge room. In the confusion the men charged with the assault against Police-Constable Stevens escaped. There were about thirty available policemen, composed of Chinese, Sikhs and Europeans, in the station at the time. With this force the charge room was cleared and the crowd pushed down the alley as far as the entrance of the Nanking Road. Inspector Everson, with about fifteen policemen, then continued slowly to push the crowd further away down the Nanking Road, the police meanwhile urging them to disperse, while he left some twenty police officers as a reserve inside the lane (cul-de-sac) leading to the police station itself. The police succeeded in pushing the crowd about 100 yards to the corner of Kwangsi Road, on which stands the town hall. Here, apparently, tramcars were blocked at the corner and the crowd made a stand, refusing to go back any further. The crowd was very menacing and for the first time shouted: \"Down with the foreigners!\" \"Kill the foreigners!\" Thinking they might turn at any moment, Inspector Everson stood up on the running-board of a near-by motor-car in order to see over the top of the crowd, and as a result of his bird's eye view of the situation he determined to retreat to the police station. The crowd was now beyond control and the European constables were being very severely handled. The police were still using batons and sticks freely, and Inspector Everson himself was still only armed with a stick. At this stage Inspector Everson observed a large procession of more students, which he estimated at about 2,000, bearing down on the rear of the 300 or so students which he was holding in check. The crowd now developed a very ugly spirit and advanced on the police in an attempt to wrest the firearms in the possession of the foreign members of the force. Everson and his small party of police, which had already been very roughly handled, was gradually driven back to the entrance of the alley which leads to the Louza police station, off the Nanking Road; fearing that the mob might succeed in rushing his police station and loot the arms which it contained and liberate the prisoners, he felt that the time had come when extreme measures must be taken. He therefore called out the twenty policemen in reserve and formed a half-circle round the entrance of the alley. Then, grasping a carbine from one of the policemen, he called out in Chinese to the crowd, \"Stop, or I fire\"; at the same time indicating by gestures that the police were about to fire. Approximately ten seconds elapsed and the inspector gave the order to fire. This occurred at 3:37 P.M. As a result, four of the crowd were killed outright, five subsequently succumbed to their wounds and fourteen were wounded, all being Chinese. The mob immediately dispersed.\n\n33. The next day found Shanghai an armed camp. The volunteers were mobilised and naval reinforcements were on their way to protect the interests of the different foreign nationals dwelling in the International Settlement as well as in the neighbouring French Concession which, it should be noted, remained unaffected throughout this crisis.\n\n34. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce declared a general strike, and it began generally to be realised that the disturbances of the 30th May had by now completely lost their original character of a mere student demonstration and were ...\n\n11",

The Canton Government lost no time in launching a campaign of vilification against the foreigners on Shameen, and more especially against the British and French consuls and their Governments. They asserted that the Portuguese gunboat (which never opened fire at all) had bombarded Canton with naval guns; that the firing started from Shameen as well as many other calumnies. The evidence of His Majesty's consul-general, as well as the statements of a naval officer serving on the U.S.S. Ashville, both of whom were independent eye-witnesses of the actual incident itself and were both under fire, sufficiently refute these assertions of the Canton Government.\n\n164. Five demands were addressed on the 26th June to both French and British Governments by General Fu Ping-ch'ang, Commissioner for Foreign Affairs :-\n\n(1) Apologies will be made by High Commissioners appointed by the Powers interested to the Government of Canton.\n\n(2) The senior officers responsible shall be punished.\n\n(3) With the exception of two despatch vessels, all naval units of the Powers interested shall be withdrawn.\n\n(4) Shameen shall be returned to the Government of Kwantung and placed under the administration thereof.\n\n(5) The victims and their families shall be compensated.\n\n165. On receipt of these demands the French Minister and His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires decided to instruct their respective consuls-general to reply that they were unable to take such demands into consideration. On the 18th July these demands were again put forward but, after consulting the French Government, His Majesty's Government decided that no reply should be returned on this occasion. These demands may consequently be said to have lapsed.\n\n166. From the beginning of August onwards the anti-British agitation in Canton became even more violent. There were some forty or fifty Russians attached to the Russian consulate in Canton, as well as some 120 naval and military instructors, whose overbearing demeanour and influence with the Strike Committee and extremist elements created an atmosphere which made it impossible for the moderates to make any headway.\n\n167. The findings of the Cantonese Committee of Investigation, which had no judicial character whatever, succeeded in placing all the blame on the foreigners for the incidents of the 23rd June, and a complete deadlock in regard to any negotiations between Canton and Hong Kong or between His Majesty's Government and the de facto Canton Government had been reached. Sir James Jamieson was of opinion at this stage that nothing short of the abrogation of treaties would placate Canton.\n\n168. On the 13th August three new regulations for coastal navigation were published, but not by Canton Government nor approved by them:—\n\n(1) All steamers, except those of British and Japanese nationalities, are permitted to take part in coastal trade, provided they do not call at Hong Kong.\n\n(2) All vessels, on entering port, must be inspected by labour pickets.\n\n(3) Export of raw materials and food-stuffs is prohibited.\n\n169. These regulations really warranted a blockade of the entrance of the river, as they interfered with the freedom of action of the maritime treaty Powers, rendered vessels subject to unauthorised search and were an illegal restriction of trade. In view, however, of the fact that of the maritime treaty Powers the French alone appeared willing to co-operate, and of the fact that the circumstances attending the proposal for a blockade clearly indicated the necessity of joint international action on the broadest basis, i.e., the unconditional co-operation of the Italian, French, American, Japanese and possibly Portuguese Governments, and of the fact that it was very doubtful whether these Governments would co-operate as they did in 1923 in the case of threat to seize the customs, it was found impossible to adopt Sir James Jamieson's proposal for a blockade.\n\n170. Quite apart from the possibility of undesirable repercussions on the political situation in the north (e.g., Marshal Feng's anti-British proclamations, students' agitations in the capital culminating in Legation servants' strike, &c.), there is little doubt that the other maritime Powers, especially the Japanese and Americans, were but little interested in what was happening in Canton, provided that no attempt was made to seize the maritime customs. Their shipping was not being seriously interfered with. The American Dollar Line, the Japanese and Chinese lines were already making their arrangements for carrying on their business by means of ocean-going steamers trading direct with the outside world without touching at Hong Kong; in brief, the other Powers had no wish to assist British interests by pulling the chestnuts out of the fire for Hong Kong. Moreover, any form of isolated action by Great Britain which would have been tantamount to and certainly construed by Nationalist opinion as forcible intervention in China was to be deprecated.\n\n171. In order to test the authenticity of the coastal navigation rules (see above), it was decided to send up experimentally a river steamer from Hong Kong to Canton to show the flag and see what happened. On the 5th September the steamer arrived and was not molested. This seemed to prove that the Strike Committee had somewhat exceeded their powers, but there appeared to be little doubt that the rules were actually issued by the Strike Committee with the tacit approval of the Canton Government.\n\n172. In Canton itself, from now onwards, there was evidence of dissensions in the camp on the one hand, and on the other of considerable military preparations which, judging from the activity of the Russian instructors in Canton and certain Soviet munition ships, seemed to indicate the launching of an attack on Amoy to the north and on the Island of Hainan to the south.\n\n173. On the 20th August the unexpected assassination of Liao Chung-kai, one of the foremost leaders of the Chinese Bolshevik party in Canton, seemed to indicate that the anti-Communists were at last making some headway. Any hopes, however, which may have been founded on this event were illusory, for in September it was clear that the Russian element, headed by Comrade Borodin and the cadets trained under Russian instructors at Whampoa, had secured a stronger grip than ever of the situation.\n\n174. On the 15th September the following rules were drawn up and published by the Central Executive Committee of the Strikers' Union for the governance of those non-British firms who desired to resume business in Canton and regain the services of their Chinese staffs, both clerical and domestic:-\n\n'Conditions set forth by the Strikers' Committee concerning the American, Japanese and French Trade.\n\n(1) If the merchants of either of these nationalities reopen their business without informing the Strikers' Committee, or without the tripartite contract being signed by the committee, the employees and the company concerned, the strikers will deal with them as strike-breakers.\n\n(2) Any employees of these merchants returning to work without the permission of the committee will be dealt with as strike-breakers.\n\n(3) If any trader of the above-mentioned nationalities shop or ship owner infringes the rules laid down by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the strikers, and if he has business with Englishmen, with Hong Kong, Macao or Shameen, the strikers will deal with him as a strike-breaker.\n\n(4) They must reinstate all their former employees, and pay their salary as before the strike.\n\n(5) The employees resuming work must subscribe 10 per cent. of their salary to the strike fund.\n\n(6) If the business concerned is in Shameen, Hong Kong or Macao, the reopening will be allowed only on the condition that it be removed to Chinese territory.\n\n(7) If the traders infringe the contract, the authorisation will be immediately cancelled, and further severe steps will be taken toward them.\n\n(8) At the settlement of the general strike, these traders must obey the same rules as those of the general settlement.\n\n(9) Those traders transferring their business to Canton territory must obey the rules and laws of the Nationalist Government.\n\n(10) If the traders have any special question, or their employees have any special demands, these special questions or demands must be discussed and put in the contract by the committee, the traders and their employees.\n\n27 \n\n140 \n\nFS",

On the contrary, it is precisely such an event that requires the continuance of the agreement to refer, so that, in case of difference as to the character of the event or the date from which frustration must be deemed to have arisen, the conventional tribunal, originally provided, may be available for its solution. Though further performance is excused, how is this contract discharged, unlimited as it is in time?\n\nThe\n\nAll these arguments, it will be seen, resolve themselves, on examination, into the fundamental inquiry, whether in law and fact frustration had been brought about before any dispute arose with regard to frustration or its cause or its consequences. The arbitration clause is but part of the contract and, unless it is couched in such terms as will except it out of the results, which follow from frustration, generally, it will come to an end too. This must be so, if the law is, that the legal effect of frustration is the immediate termination of the contract as to all matters and disputes which have not already arisen.\n\nThroughout the line of cases, now a long one, in which it has been held that certain events frustrate the commercial adventure contemplated by the parties when they made the contract, there runs an almost continuous series of expressions to the effect that such a frustration brings the contract to an end forthwith, without more and automatically. They are too numerous to be cited exhaustively, but there are few expressions to the contrary and none in recent cases. By way of illustration, reference may be made only to the following.\n\nIn Jackson v. The Union Marine (L.R. 10 C.P. at p. 145), at one end of the series, Bramwell, B., delivering the judgment of the majority in the Exchequer Chamber, describes the result of what happened by the words \"the contract is at an end.\" In Tamplin's case, at the other, Lord Loreburn says that, if the parties had considered the matter when making the contract, \"they would have said if that happens, it is all over between us.\" Accordingly, the implied term as to frustration may be expressed in these words\" (1916, 2 A.C. at p. 404). The contract,\" says Lord Haldane (at pp. 406, 410 and 412) \"must be looked upon as being wholly dissolved and the Courts cannot take any course which would in reality impose new and different terms on the parties. The Court of Appeal below gave judgment to the effect that the contract remained in existence, and that the restraint of princes' clause kept the contract alive. ... I think that the entire contract was avoided. ... The contract is gone and the clause with it.\" A statement of the general principle by Lord Parker of Waddington is expressed in the same case as follows (p. 424):-\n\n:\"The principle which really underlies all cases, in which a contract has been held to determine upon the happening of an event which frustrates the object which the parties have in view, applies also to charter-parties, where some commercial adventure contemplated by the parties... is brought to an end. It was easy to imply a condition that, if the voyage became impossible of completion within that season, the contract should be at an end.\" Finally, in Bank Line v. Capel (1919, A.C. at p. 441), Lord Finlay sums up the law in these words: \"The doctrine that a contract may be put an end to by a vital change of circumstances has been repeatedly discussed. The law of the doctrine of frustration of the subject is well settled.\n\nNeither of these adventure as terminating the contract. clauses (26 and 31) can have the effect of preventing the termination of the charter-party by the requisition.\"\n\nThat requisition, or at any rate requisition for so long as showed that it was to endure for a considerable though indefinite time (whichever be regarded, in fact, as the event defeating the adventure), of itself terminates the charter and all its parts, as soon as it happened, is a conclusion, which though warranted and binding in view of these and other passages, does not depend merely on the language, which a long sequence of the highest authorities have happened to use. It rests on principle, and is the only way of reconciling the special rule as to frustration with the general rules as to the obligation of contracts.\n\nAn event occurs, not contemplated by the parties and therefore not expressly dealt with in their contract, which, when it happens, frustrates their object. Evidently it is their common object that has to be frustrated, not merely the individual advantage, which one party or the other might have gained from the contract. If so, what the law provides must be a common relief from this common disappointment and an immediate termination of the obligations because otherwise the parties would be bound to a contract, which is one that they did not really make. If it were not so, a doctrine designed to avert unintended burdens would operate to enable one party to profit by the event and to hold the other, if he so chose, to a new obligation. Lord Blackburn (Dahl v. Nelson, 6 A.C. at p. 53) summarises the effect of Jackson's case in these words: delay in carrying out a charter-party, caused by something for which neither party was responsible, if so great and long as to make it unreasonable to require the parties to go on with the adventure, entitled either of them, at least while the contract was executory, to consider it at an end.\" It should be noted that, although at first sight this right to consider the contract as at an end might seem, from this language, to be in the option of either party but not to arise till that option is exercised, this is not really the gist of the opinion. The passage gives the effect of two cases, Geipel v. Smith (L.R. 7 Q.B. 404) and Jackson v. The Union Marine. In both cases there had been an actual refusal to perform after the event in question happened,\n\n4\n\n7",

The premeditation was on the part of Chinese troops or military students, who, as was well-known beforehand, and as was pointed out by me to Mr. C. C. Wu, had determined to create an incident with a view to posing as martyrs afterwards. It was well-known the day before in Chinese circles in Hongkong and Canton that an attack on Shameen was contemplated and would take place the following day. The Compradore of the Banque Industrielle in Hongkong told the French Manager that the French Concession would be looted on the 23rd, and requested him to send a wireless message to his colleague in Canton to place all valuables on board the French gunboat. In the forenoon of yesterday, two motor-cars were distributing leaflets throughout the city signed by the Students' Union of the Military School of the Kwangtung Army, inciting all and sundry to rise and chase out the foreigners.\n\nI repudiate in the most emphatic manner the charge that the responsibility rests with the foreigners. It is the Chinese who have to bear this heavy burden, and I hope shortly to lay before you evidence on oath of eye-witnesses in support of this assertion.\n\nI would in the meantime ask you to be so good as to take most complete measures for the safeguarding of the lives of British subjects who are resident in and around Canton.\n\nI have the honour to be, etc.\n\n(Sd.) JAMES JAMIESON,\n\nConsul-General.\n\nAPPENDIX E.\n\nExtract from Sir James Jamieson's dispatch to H.M. Chargé d'Affaires, Peking, June 25th, 1925.\n\nAt 11 a.m. two motor-cars passed along the Shakee Street on the other side of the canal, and distributed leaflets signed by the cadets of the military school of the Kwang-tung army, calling upon all and sundry to eject the foreigner. At about 2.30 p.m. the procession was at the end of the Shakee Street, which commences at the gate of the French bridge, and proceeded along the north bank of the canal. The only persons in the vicinity of our bridge were myself, the British Senior Naval Officer, the Superintendent of Shameen Police, one or two Naval Officers, a member of my staff, and some unarmed Chinese Police, who, being Hakkas, had not walked out with the rest of the Chinese on the island on the 21st. (The Customs employees left on the 23rd and the Post Office employees on the 24th.) Unarmed Chinese Police lined the road on the other side at intervals of about 50 yards, and a company of armed soldiers took up positions under the verandahs of the Chinese shops in the neighbourhood of the bridge. Three-quarters of the procession, consisting of labour, agricultural, and other unions, marched along in an orderly manner with flags and banners, and I was actually on the point of leaving to send a telegram to say that all had passed off peacefully when the S.N.O. remarked to me that perhaps it would be as well to wait until the students came along. In the course of a few minutes, bodies of male and female students came in sight, and on crossing the invisible line separating the British from the French Concession, started to raise what I assumed to be college yells, and, in so far as I could understand, calling for cheers for",

An Arbitration Commission will be formed to settle the dispute between the conflicting labour unions. The Commission will be formed of representatives from the Headquarters of the Nationalist Army, the Department of Labour and Peasants, the Department of Reconstruction, the Mechanics' Union (rightist labour), and the Railwaymen's Union (leftist labour). The Commissioner of Labour will be appointed chairman of the Commission.\n\nAs was recently proclaimed by the Government, the conflicting labour parties are bound to honour the decisions of the Arbitration Commission. Those disobeying will be dealt with severely by the Government.\n\nNo further fighting took place today, but the mechanics and the railwaymen are still guarding their respective headquarters. The Canton-Samshui railway, on which line the fighting occurred during the last few days, still suspends running.\n\nThe Commissioner of Police last evening instructed the police force to pay special attention to the public safety of the city during the labour troubles which are getting daily worse. Large squads of armed police will patrol the streets day and night.\n\nThe Physical Department of the Kwangtung General Labour Union, the rightist labour headquarters, was inaugurated this afternoon in their headquarters in Saikwayuan. The entire force of 'boxers' corps of the department, about 1,350 strong, displayed their arts in the meeting and afterwards took part in a demonstrative parade participated by members of all the rightist labour unions in the city.\n\nWorkers in the petrol shops went on strike this morning, failing to obtain from their employers an increase of pay and other terms respecting improvement of treatment, etc. All the petrol shops in the city suspended business today.\n\nThe vegetable market workers stopped work today to celebrate the inauguration of their labour union.\n\nLatest news states that fighting between the labour \"Reds\" and moderates broke out at Fatshan on January 3rd, in which 30 were killed.",

But any workman who is dismissed without good reason must be in a position to claim reasonable compensation, and therefore the above regulation is made.\n\nWhen any strike on the part of any workmen with a view to increase of wages, is settled, wages for the period of the strike shall be paid according to the new rate of wages, but the labour unions shall not, under pretext of loss suffered, claim any further compensation, or demand any fine.\n\n(Explanation) Workmen go on strike when the masters refuse their demand for an increase of wages, and therefore the wages for the period of the strike should be paid according to the new rates, that is only fair. But workmen often make unreasonable demands for compensation and impose fines on the masters. This not only rouses the opposition among the masters, but may also lead to malpractices on the part of officers of the unions. Therefore, in order to protect the reasonable privileges of the workmen and merchants, the Government should make the above regulation.\n\n(5) No merchant shall maliciously form any rival labour union to the prejudice of the organisation and unity of the already existing Labour Union for that industry.\n\n(Explanation)",

Deacon & Co., Ltd.,\nCanton.\n\nDear Sirs,\n\n**SOCIAL ROCKS**\n\nI confirm wire of today advising that Directors are willing to grant a room for use of crew for social purposes, provided that such accommodation is under the control of the Master and subject to inspection by ship's officers whenever requested. It must also be distinctly understood that this room will not be used for any political object, or for any purpose likely to cause annoyance to passengers or damage to ship. These conditions are in line with Union's letter of 25th March and failure to observe them will result in this privilege being withdrawn.\n\nThe question of providing social rooms on all the Company's vessels on Canton run has been under consideration for some time past but the unwarranted action of the crew of the \"Kinshan\" has unfortunately prejudiced the position and delayed a decision. The Directors feel that the crew in deserting the ship have acted in a manner that cannot be overlooked and with the exception of those who came with the ship to Hong Kong, their re-employment on the \"Kinshan\" cannot, under any circumstances, be countenanced.\n\nThe vessel is at present in dock at Taikoo and requires a crew as soon as possible. Please therefore arrange with the Union for a new crew to be sent down without delay. As an act of grace, we are prepared to pay deserting crew wages for March, on application to this office.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nActing Secretary.",

Clearly, however, gatherings of this nature could not be allowed to continue. They are open challenges of British Authority in this Colony and, apart from the intrinsic danger of such propaganda, they must, if allowed to go unchecked, have a most serious effect on the morale of the Colony's Chinese population. I have therefore, as foreshadowed in my despatch referred to above, taken power to prohibit future meetings of the same nature. A copy of the regulations made for this purpose is enclosed. The penalty for any offense against these regulations is that reported in my telegram of 2nd March, namely a fine of $1,000 and/or imprisonment for one year.\n\nI have also caused the owners of all steamers on which such meetings are likely to be held to be informed that this Government will not hesitate to use the powers contained in these regulations and I have requested them to cooperate with me by refusing all facilities to promoters of meetings likely to be seditious.\n\n## \nNo further meetings of exactly the same nature have yet been organised but the Seamen's Union has announced its intention of holding on the 12th March at a Chinese Theatre in Hong Kong, a meeting in honour of the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen.

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

Anyway, the Seamen's Union had by that time taken a definite political line and had forced all its members to follow suit. No \"demands\" of any kind were put forward on behalf of its members, and no economic justification for the strike of 1925 was ever suggested. The Union took its stand solely on political \"slogans\" such as \"Down with Imperialism\" and \"Recover Hong Kong!\"\n\n### 5.\n\nNevertheless, the Union was permitted to retain its premises in the Colony, and from this centre, it surreptitiously carried on \"Red\" propaganda, while its principal officials controlled the \"Canton-Hong Kong Strike Committee\" in Canton and organized the armed picket system to make effective the boycott against goods of British origin. These officials, notably So Shiu-cheng (蘇兆徵), Chairman of the Seamen's Union in 1922, and of the Canton-Hong Kong Strike Committee in 1925, subsequently reached high positions in the Canton Government without severing their connection with the Seamen's Union or the Strike Committee. Moreover, it is established that the deliberations of both these organizations were directed by Russian advice, and that Russians, controlled by Borodin, often attended their meetings.\n\n### 6.\n\nThe insults and indignities which Hong Kong shipping firms then suffered at the hands of the Seamen's Union are set out in my secret despatch of the 23rd April, 1927; and to that record must be added the case... \n\n18",

I am glad to say that General Li Chai-sum's friendliness towards this Colony seems to me genuine, and it is greatly to be regretted that he is not in a position to override the senseless animosity of other elements in Canton.\n\n5.\n\nAll negotiations by the Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company for the removal of the boycott of the British river-steamers have hitherto failed, and although the Canton police, when in sufficient force, prevent actual violence (such as tarring of boycott-breaking passengers), they will not drive off the Seamen's Union's pickets. The vessels, therefore, get practically no passengers and very little cargo except live fish, which is handled by a Union too truculent even for the Seamen's Union. It is in fact quite clear that the Seamen's Union intends to maintain the boycott, if it can, until the Company surrenders unconditionally. Realising this, the managers of the main Company (the Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company) propose to recommend to the directors a stronger line of action.

But at the same time Mr. Brenan, knowing how much that administration had to fear from Labour licence and the probable necessity (since actually proved) for fresh measures of repression, begged the Company not to be too precipitate in surrender, but rather to lay up the ships and throw the crews on their Union for a while in the hope that, even if the Canton Government did not intervene, a further spell of unemployment, by adding to the already large body of disillusioned members, might act as a solvent of the Union from within. In the face of this advice and of my own known views on the matter, a majority of the Directors has decided that surrender could be no longer deferred, their only reservation being that the Union shall not send for re-engagement the actual men discharged, but some others. This surrender is the more exasperating as the picketing had so far extended only to passenger traffic which was contracted out to a \"compradore\" (Mr. Woo Hay Tang) and the loss was falling on him and not on the Company. Mr. Woo has his own line of steamers running to Canton, but he has nevertheless been conducting the negotiations with the Union on behalf of the Company. He has more than once since 1925 come under suspicion of \"trading with the enemy\" and his deportation from Hong Kong has in the past been considered. Yet he professes to go in fear of his life and has applied for Police protection against possible violence by the Union whose victory he appears to have secured.

The main object of this Ordinance is to arm the Colony against strikes, like the general strikes of 1922 and 1925, which are designed or calculated to coerce the Government by inflicting hardship upon the community. It is also intended to strengthen the law against intimidation, and to free Hong Kong trade unions from the risk of being dominated by organizations outside the Colony. It deals also with illegal lock-outs. It is based chiefly on the Trade Disputes and Trade Union Bill, which is at present being considered in Parliament, and on certain Sections in the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act, 1875. \n\n2. (1) The definition of \"strike\" in section 2 is copied from clause 8 (2) of the English bill. \n\n(2) The definition of \"trade union\" gave rise to some difficulty, the English definitions being complicated by the legislative history of trade unions in England. The definition which has been adopted in the Ordinance is based on that in section 16 of the Trade Union Act Amendment Act, 1876, `39 & 40 Vict. c. 22`. In the peculiar circumstances of Hong Kong it has been considered unnecessary at present to follow that definition in its application to combinations of employers and to combinations for imposing restrictive conditions on the conduct...",

The phrase, which has among its objects\", is based on section 1 of the Trade Union Act, 1913, 2 & 3 Geo. 5, c. 30.\n\n3.-(1) Section 3, which deals with illegal strikes and lock-outs, is based on clause 1 of the English bill, altered in accordance with certain amendments which it was indicated that the Government proposed to make in that clause.\n\n(2) Sub-clause (2) of clause 1 in the English bill provides penalties of £10 or 3 months imprisonment on summary conviction, and of 2 years imprisonment on conviction on indictment. In the present Ordinance, the penalties are all relegated to section 10, which provides simply for maximum penalties of $500 and/or 6 months imprisonment, to be imposed in all cases on summary conviction.\n\n(3) Sub-clause (3) of clause 1 of the English bill is unnecessary here because the provisions there overridden do not exist in Hong Kong.\n\n4. Section 4, which is designed to protect persons refusing to take part in illegal strikes, from expulsion from their union or fine or loss of benefits, is taken almost word for word from clause 2 of the English bill, with the omission of the retrospective sub-clause (3).\n\n5. Sub-section (1) of section 5 is based on section 7 of the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act, 1875, 38 & 39 Vict. c. 86, and sub-sections (2) and (3) of section 5 are based on clause 5 of the English bill. The section as a whole is designed to prevent intimidation.\n\n6. Sub-section (1) of section 6 is based on clause 6(2) of the English bill, the Government of Hong Kong taking the place of the “local or other public authority” of the English clause. Sub-section (2) of section 6, which is aimed at strikes in essential services which are commenced without due warning, is based on section 4 of the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Act, 1875, but it extends the principle of that section to electricity, to telephone and sanitary services, and to the means of transport by railway, ferry, tram, and bus. The English section is confined to gas and water. Sub-section (3) of section 6 is copied from section 5 of the above English Act.\n\n7.-(1) Section 7 is intended to free Hong Kong trade unions from the risk of domination by organizations outside the Colony. Past experience shows that there is a grave danger that such domination, if it were allowed to exist, might in some cases be used, not for any genuine trade union purpose, but for bolshevistic and anti-British objects.\n\n(2) Sub-section (1) accordingly provides that, except under and in accordance with the permission of the Governor in Council, no trade union which is established within the Colony shall be affiliated or connected with any trade union or other organization outside the Colony in such a manner as to place the Hong Kong trade union or its members under the control of the organization which is established outside the Colony. Any Hong Kong trade union so affiliated without permission will, under sub-section (2), be an unlawful society, or it may, under sub-section (3), be declared an unlawful society.\n\n(3) In order to facilitate proof, and to avoid doubts as to what establishment within the Colony means, sub-section (4) specifies certain facts, e.g., the exhibition of a signboard, from which it is to be inferred that a trade union is established within the Colony.",

        "content_text": "46\n\nHONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.\n\nmost serious matter. I would interpret this section as one upholding the principle that the Government must not be forced to do what it does not consider right. This legislation is directed towards that end.\n\nSection 4 is a section which deals with the protection of the individual. It is framed with the object of assisting any inhabitant of this Colony who wishes to observe the law. That is to say if he refuses to take part in any strike which is declared illegal he shall not be subject to fine or otherwise deprived of any right or benefit to which he might be entitled. I would describe this section as giving the right to the individual to carry on his advocations according to his own wishes.\n\nSection 5 is the section which deals with intimidation. This section does not in any way effect what is known as peaceful picketing. That is preserved, but it states very clearly and emphatically what will not be allowed. This again, Your Excellency, is declaratory of the law as it exists to-day, but it is extremely useful to have the declaration placed on the Statute book so that all may know. I regard this section as the acknowledgment of the right of the individual to exercise his own discretion.\n\nSection 6 deals with breaches of contract. This is specially framed to stop what are known as lightning strikes in essential services. I may well describe this section as the section for the protection of the public.\n\nSection 7 gives to this Colony the right to regulate its own affairs without interference from without. I would describe this section in a few words as embodying and assisting the preservation of the independence of this Colony.\n\nSection 8 is the section which prohibits the use of trade union funds for political purposes outside the Colony. It is, if I may say so, a section based upon the necessity of maintaining our neutrality. Our inhabitants should not unduly interfere with politics outside the Colony and this section is a contribution to the maintenance of neutrality in political affairs which at this particular juncture is so essential.\n\nSection 11 provides a safeguard against frivolous prosecutions. It acts as a guarantee in this Colony that the law will be properly administered. It is essential that we should have a section of this nature because it assures that legal strikes and legal lock-outs will not be interfered with. This section provides that there shall be no prosecutions without good cause.\n\nIn conclusion, I would point out that this Ordinance places no restriction whatever on genuine trade disputes nor upon the common law rights of individuals. It merely provides that lawful objects shall be carried out by lawful means and for that reason I have great pleasure in supporting it. (Applause.)\n\nThe Bill was then read a second time.\n\n28",

        "content_text": "4- \n\n4. The uncertain situation in Canton caused anxiety in the Colony early in the year. For a time there was some possibility of a recurrence of the strike and boycott of 1925, but by the proscription of the Seamen's Union and by the prevention of seditious meetings this danger was averted. A more settled Government in Canton led to a gradual improvement in its relations with this Colony. There was however a continual influx of refugees and other persons into the Colony, and the disbanding in Canton of the Hong Kong strikers caused many bad characters to make their way to Hong Kong. A series of armed robberies occurred during the autumn, culminating in December in a street battle between the police and a gang of armed robbers, in which two Chinese constables were shot and three robbers either killed or wounded.\n\n5. On August 20th, the Colony was visited by a severe typhoon, which lasted for the unusually long period of 12 hours. Much damage was caused on shore, especially in the Peak district, where one block of flats collapsed and a number of flats and houses were severely damaged. The P. & O. steamer \"Rawalpindi\" dragged her moorings, and for a time was in danger of being dashed on the Praya Wall. This catastrophe was happily averted.\n\n6. The honours conferred on residents of Hong Kong by H.M. the King during the year included the appointment of Sir Joseph Kemp as Knight Bachelor and of Mr. W. T. Southorn and Dr. R. H. Kotewall as Companions of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. Among the visitors to the Colony during the year mention should be made of the Bishop of London, who was present at the New Year and whose addresses were received with much enthusiasm by the local religious community. In September the two American aviators Messrs. Brock and Schee and their aeroplane \"Pride of Detroit\" visited Hong Kong and made a short stay on their flight round the world.\n\nII. Finance.\n\nThe total revenue of the year amounted to $21,344,536 which sum exceeded the estimate by $337,189, and the revenue for 1926 by $212,954. This increase was chiefly under the headings Licences and Internal Revenue and it more than set off the deficit in stamp and liquor duties and in the revenue from land sales. A noteworthy item was the increase of $107,184 in the passenger service (foreign line) of the Kowloon-Canton Railway due to the reopening of through traffic with Canton. This increase more than counterbalances the decrease in passenger receipts on the home line. Two unusual items contributed to the excess of revenue over expenditure. The first was the transfer of accumulated interest to the amount of $146,450 on the money deposited in London towards the cost of the Singapore base. The second was the transfer to revenue of the surplus of the local War Loan Sinking Fund amounting to $158,134 following on the repayment of the loan at the end of the year.\n\n5\n\n2. The expenditure for the year amounted to $20,845,065 which was less than estimated by $1,469,637 and less than expenditure in 1926 by $2,679,651. The principal item on which savings were effected was Public Works Extraordinary. Owing to the general policy of retrenchment and to lapsing salaries in the Public Works Department it was found possible to effect a saving under these two headings, of over $900,000. A very substantial saving was effected by the repayment of the Local War Loan and the consequent saving of interest and Sinking Fund charges.\n\n3. The following is a statement of Revenue and Expenditure for the last five years:-\n\n  \n    Year\n    Revenue\n    Expenditure\n  \n  \n    1923\n    $24,783,673\n    $21,571,905\n  \n  \n    1924\n    24,209,640\n    26,726,428\n  \n  \n    1925\n    23,244,365\n    28,266,817\n  \n  \n    1926\n    21,181,582\n    23,524,716\n  \n  \n    1927\n    21,344,536\n    20,845,065\n  \n\n4. Public Debt.-The local 6% War Loan of $3,000,000, due for repayment in November, 1928, was fully repaid during the year and the surplus in the Sinking Fund of $158,134 was transferred to revenue. In November the new 6% Public Works Loan at par was issued. $3,000,000 worth of bonds were allotted, but the applications actually received from the public amounted to nearly four times that sum. The inscribed Stock Loans of 1893 and 1906 due for repayment in 1943 amounted to £1,485,773 and the Sinking Fund at the end of the year was £587,205.\n\n5. The Trade Loan.-This loan which was issued in 1926 to assist local merchants and others during the exceptional difficulties following on the strike and boycott was allocated to the extent of $15,624,588 representing a total of 278 loans. All loans were limited to a period of two years and although many of them were due for repayment at the end of last year it was considered that the financial situation had not sufficiently improved to justify their being called in. The position on 31st December, 1927 was that 164 loans, representing a total of $8,102,895, or rather more than half the total, were outstanding.\n\n13\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11",

        "content_text": "4. The uncertain situation in Canton caused anxiety in the Colony early in the year. For a time there was some possibility of a recurrence of the strike and boycott of 1925, but by the proscription of the Seamen's Union and by the prevention of seditious meetings this danger was averted. A more settled Government in Canton led to a gradual improvement in its relations with this Colony. There was, however, a continual influx of refugees and other persons into the Colony, and the disbanding in Canton of the Hong Kong strikers caused many bad characters to make their way to Hong Kong. A series of armed robberies occurred during the autumn, culminating in December in a street battle between the police and a gang of armed robbers, in which two Chinese constables were shot and three robbers were either killed or wounded.\n\n5. On August 20th, the Colony was visited by a severe typhoon, which lasted for the unusually long period of 12 hours. Much damage was caused on shore, especially in the Peak district, where one block of flats collapsed and a number of flats and houses were severely damaged. The P. & O. steamer \"Rawalpindi\" dragged her moorings, and for a time was in danger of being dashed on the Praya Wall. This catastrophe was happily averted.\n\n6. The honours conferred on residents of Hong Kong by H.M. the King during the year included the appointment of Sir Joseph Kemp as Knight Bachelor and of Mr. W. T. Southorn and Dr. R. H. Kotewall as Companions of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. Among the visitors to the Colony during the year, mention should be made of the Bishop of London, who was present at the New Year and whose addresses were received with much enthusiasm by the local religious community. In September, the two American aviators, Messrs. Brock and Schee, and their aeroplane \"Pride of Detroit\" visited Hong Kong and made a short stay on their flight round the world.\n\nII. Finance.\n\nThe total revenue of the year amounted to $21,844,536, which sum exceeded the estimate by $337,139, and the revenue for 1926 by $212,954. This increase was chiefly under the headings Licences and Internal Revenue, and it more than set off the deficit in stamp and liquor duties and in the revenue from land sales. A noteworthy item was the increase of $107,184 in the passenger service (foreign line) of the Kowloon-Canton Railway due to the reopening of through traffic with Canton. This increase more than counterbalances the decrease in passenger receipts on the home line. Two unusual items contributed to the excess of revenue over expenditure. The first was the transfer of accumulated interest to the amount of $146,450 on the money deposited in London towards the cost of the Singapore base. The second was the transfer to revenue of the surplus of the local War Loan Sinking Fund amounting to $158,134 following on the repayment of the loan at the end of the year.\n\n2. The expenditure for the year amounted to $20,845,065, which was less than estimated by $1,469,637 and less than expenditure in 1926 by $2,679,651. The principal item on which savings were effected was Public Works Extraordinary. Owing to the general policy of retrenchment and to lapsing salaries in the Public Works Department, it was found possible to effect a saving under these two headings of over $900,000. A very substantial saving was effected by the repayment of the Local War Loan and the consequent saving of interest and Sinking Fund charges.\n\n3. The following is a statement of Revenue and Expenditure for the last five years:-\n\n  \n    Year\n    Revenue\n    Expenditure\n  \n  \n    1923\n    $24,783,673\n    $21,571,905\n  \n  \n    1924\n    24,209,640\n    26,726,428\n  \n  \n    1925\n    23,244,365\n    28,266,817\n  \n  \n    1926\n    21,131,582\n    23,524,716\n  \n  \n    1927\n    $21,844,536\n    $20,845,065\n  \n\n4. Public Debt. The local 6% War Loan of $3,000,000, due for repayment in November 1928, was fully repaid during the year, and the surplus in the Sinking Fund of $158,134 was transferred to revenue. In November, the new 6% Public Works Loan at par was issued. $3,000,000 worth of bonds were allotted, but the applications actually received from the public amounted to nearly four times that sum.\n\n5. The Trade Loan. This loan, which was issued in 1926 to assist local merchants and others during the exceptional difficulties following on the strike and boycott, was allocated to the extent of $15,624,588, representing a total of 278 loans. All loans were limited to a period of two years, and although many of them were due for repayment at the end of last year, it was considered that the financial situation had not sufficiently improved to justify their being called in.

        "content_text": "# DECOMPOSITION OF GASEOUS SULPHUR DIOXIDE\n\nThe critical increment for the activation of oxygen molecules lies between 6000 cals. and 12,000 cals. Adding this to the increment for S₂, namely 21,500 cals., it follows that the total increment for (S₂O₂) lies between 27,500 and 33,500 cals. Applying the heat-quantum relation to the stoichiometric equation given above we obtain:--\n\nWhence,\n \nor \n2 x 82,000 = 2Eₛₒ + (27,500 to 33,500)\n\nor \nEₛₒ lies between 197,500/2 and 191,500/2\nEₛₒ lies between 98,700 and 95,700 cals.\n\na value which agrees satisfactorily with the critical increment, 96,700 cals., calculated from the photochemical decomposition. A good deal of arbitrariness, however, surrounds the choice of the value for the critical increment of (low, partial) activation of the oxygen molecule. Taking the value 96,700 cals., obtained from the photochemical conditions, as correct, it would follow that the sum of the critical increments of gaseous (S₂+2O₂) is 29,500 cals. This relatively low value, together with the great evolution of heat accompanying the union of sulphur and oxygen, indicates that sulphur and oxygen should react easily and that the sulphur dioxide molecule should be thermally very stable; the latter conclusion is in agreement with the conclusions of von Wartenberg.[^1]\n\n## Summary\n\n1. The decomposition of sulphur dioxide gas under the action of light radiated from a uviol mercury vapour lamp has been investigated, and the resulting photostationary state, characteristic of a given set of conditions, determined, using a number of different light filters.\n\n2. It is shown that the wave-length chiefly responsible for such decomposition of the gas is 313μ. It is noteworthy that the shorter wave-lengths, also present in the above source of radiation, contribute very little to the decomposition. The wave-length 313μ lies within the first absorption band of sulphur dioxide (at a pressure of 600 mm.), but does not correspond with the head of the band, already known to occur at 296μ. The actual wave-length producing maximum decomposition depends on the nature of the source of radiation, i.e., upon the intensity distribution of the emission spectrum.\n\n3. Of the radiation emitted from the uviol lamp the longest wave-length capable of decomposing sulphur dioxide is the 313μμ line itself. The conclusion is drawn that any wave-length within the absorption band of the substance is capable of bringing about decomposition provided the intensity is sufficiently great.\n\n4. The bearing of the photochemical decomposition of sulphur dioxide upon the critical increment of the thermal union of oxygen and sulphur vapour is discussed. It is concluded that the molecule S₂, as distinct from the atom, is involved in this process.\n\nMuspratt Laboratory of Physical and Electro-Chemistry, University of Liverpool.\n\n[^1]: Zeitsch. anorg.

        "content_text": "## SCRAPS OF PAPER\n\n[Reprinted from the Peking & Tientsin Times of July 6, 1929.]\n\nIf we return to-day to the case of the forcible seizure of a consignment of Japanese paper, consigned to the Min Yen Pao, it is not because we desire to exaggerate the importance of the barefaced robbery of a comparatively small cargo of newsprint, but because we intend to show that what has occurred at Peking, under the very nose of the President of the National Government, strikes at the very root of China's pretensions, administrative, judicial, and diplomatic. We propose to deal with the issues raised under these headings, taking the diplomatic aspect first.\n\nIt may be recalled that the Notes embodying the settlement of the Tsinan question contained a stipulation on the Japanese side that the Chinese Government guarantee, on their sole responsibility, the safety of the lives and property of the Japanese subjects resident in China after the withdrawal of the Japanese troops from Shantung. The Chinese Government accepted this stipulation, recognizing its responsibility \"in accordance with international law\" to \"afford protection to foreign nationals in China, and that they consider it incumbent on them to extend such protection to resident Japanese in future.\"\n\nIt is not stretching the meaning of this undertaking to insist that it applies not only to the actual protection of the persons of Japanese and of property actually in their possession, but also to the Chinese Government's responsibility \"in accordance with international law\" to permit the free circulation in Chinese territory of articles of Japanese manufacture which have paid the stipulated import duties. That was the Japanese, and as we shall show later, the Chinese understanding of the agreement. No one in his senses can suppose that the Japanese Minister would have signed the Tsinan Notes had there been appended thereto a reservation to the effect that goods of Japanese origin or manufacture would be liable to seizure immediately they left the Japanese importers' hands. The mere collection of import duty is official recognition of the right of the Japanese to dispose, as and where they will, of the cargoes on which it has been paid. And the use of the word \"protection\" becomes meaningless if the value of Japanese property is destroyed by the inability of the importers to deliver their goods to bona fide and law-abiding purchasers. The Min Yen Pao incident, then, is a gross violation of a solemn international obligation, and raises in an acute form, the question whether the National Government is able or willing to fulfil the responsibilities it assumes as a result of negotiations with Foreign States.\n\n## \n\nFrom the administrative point of view, the failure of the National Government is equally glaring. Shortly after the signature of the Tsinan agreement, orders were issued by the Central Kuomintang Headquarters to the effect that all anti-Japanese movements throughout the Country were immediately to be terminated, and all existing anti-Japanese organizations were thenceforward to devote their attention to the development of national industry, instead of enforcing an anti-Japanese boycott. The Peking and Tientsin boycott organizations, we believe, in common with those in Mid-China, changed their name to that of \"Committee for Accelerating the Abolition of the Unequal Treaties.\" But they absolutely refused to relax their anti-Japanese activities, which were, in fact, intensified to an extent which has brought about collisions between the members of the Boycott Committee, and the merchants' organizations, in various parts of this province. The merchants not unnaturally resented continued interference with their trade after the Government's order that the boycott should cease.\n\nAnd they have protested, repeatedly, but ineffectively, against the confiscation or taxation of their cargo by organizations which were never strictly legal, and have now been formally banned by the National Government. Yet in Peking, while General Chiang Kai-shek has actually been in residence there, the local boycott Committee has not only openly defied the authorities, but won the day. It rejected the request of the proprietor, the military and the police authorities, and the mayor, for the release of a consignment of Japanese paper which had been illegally seized at the Chienmen Station; and after the Joint Military and Police Office sent troops to remove the cargo and deliver it to its lawful owner, the local Committee had the audacity to raid the Min Yen Pao offices, armed with clubs and iron bars, and remove most of the cargo to its headquarters. Two of the ringleaders in this act of robbery with violence were arrested by the Police. They have since been released with profuse apologies, and are now being treated as heroes by the local Kuomintang. It is evident, therefore, that the orders of the Government are of no effect in Peking, and that they can be treated with complete contempt by any gang of hooligans that poses as a \"patriotic organization.\"\n\nBut it is perhaps from the judicial point of view that the incident is most serious. Attempts are being made by the Nanking Government to bring about the immediate and unconditional abolition of extraterritoriality. Dr. Wang Chung-hui, the Minister of Justice, is at present abroad conducting a propaganda campaign with this object in view. He has already been giving interviewers glowing pictures of the modernization of China's judicial codes, Courts, and prisons, and attacking extraterritoriality as an obsolete system \"not in keeping with the dignity of New China.\" Is it in keeping with that \"dignity\" that criminals arrested in the very act of committing a felony—to wit, robbery with violence—should never even be brought to trial, but, on the threat of hostile demonstrations by their accomplices, should be released with profound apologies by the Director of the Military and Police Department, and humbly persuaded to accept their freedom? The incident is such a travesty of justice that the facts would be read with incredulity in any law-abiding country in Europe or America. Imagine, if it is possible, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Lord Byng, pleading with a couple of armed burglars to leave Vine Street Police Station, after they had been arrested in flagranti delicto, breaking into the office of the Morning Post, and carrying off bales of newsprint for which it had paid. Imagine a demonstration of the \"London Burglars' Union\" outside No. 10 Downing Street while the Prime Minister was in residence, to demand the release of their colleagues and the surrender by the Morning Post of a quantity of paper to which they had no legal or moral claim. Imagine the Headquarters of the British Labour Party in London welcoming as heroes a couple of hooligans who had been caught breaking into private premises and removing private property, and could offer no justification except that they had done the same thing, without being punished, before. The administration of justice becomes farcical when lawbreakers become heroes, and the officials responsible for the maintenance of law and order, and the administration of justice, apologize even for arresting them. No international undertakings that the Chinese Government may offer, no administrative order that it may issue, and no Courts it may establish, can be of the slightest use when such things can happen. Treaties, laws, and judicial regulations simply become worthless scraps of paper. And what remains?\n\n\"Perpetual emptiness! Unceasing change!\nNo single volume paramount, no code,\nNo master spirit, no determined road;\nBut equally a want of books and men!\"\n\n## PEKING OFFICIAL'S STATEMENT\n\n[Reprinted from the North China Standard of July 6, 1929.]\n\nMr. Li Yu, director of the Joint Military and Police Office, for whose dismissal and punishment the anti-Japanese Boycott Association has been agitating, has issued a statement setting forth his side of the controversy with the Association arising from the seizure of 57 bundles of Japanese paper by the professional agitators. After characterizing the Association as an illegal organization and giving a summary of the circumstances leading up to the arrest of two pickets of the association on the morning of July 2nd, Mr. Li goes on to say:\n\nIt should be noted that the paper was bought in Tientsin by the Garrison Headquarters here and intended for the use of the Publicity Department of the Garrison. When it was shipped from Tientsin, the authorities there had examined it and issued a Huchao for its safe transportation. But when the shipment arrived at Chienmen station, it was seized by the anti-Japanese Association as \"enemy goods.\"\n\nActing on orders from our superiors, we repeatedly negotiated with the Association for its release, but its officers simply ignored us.\n\nIt should be further noted that this paper was bought after the Nanking National Government had formally ordered the dissolution of all anti-Japanese Associations in the country. The argument that we have violated the anti-Japanese movement therefore does not apply. What is more, the shipment was intended for the use of the Propaganda Department and not destined to any newspaper. The Min Yen Pao has a job printing department and has a contract from the Garrison Headquarters to print all its propaganda literature and posters.\n\nIt has become a long practice for the Garrison to store its paper supply with the paper. What justification does the Association have for its repeated attacks and raids on the offices of the Min Yen Pao?\n\nIt is a matter of record that the local authorities have received repeated orders from Nanking to close the Boycott Association and suppress the anti-Japanese movement. All the anti-Japanese slogans and posters which once filled the walls of the city have been removed by the authorities. Yet the Association continues to function in defiance of the orders of the Government and is carrying on the blackmailing and extortion game without fear. We are in duty bound to suppress its activities.\n\nIt is for intelligent public opinion to say whether the Association has the right to confiscate a shipment of paper bought after the official cancellation of the anti-Japanese boycott. We hereby set forth all the circumstances of the case and appeal for the impartial consideration of all the wise and virtuous men in the country.\n\n[Note: The Boycott Committee has since been permitted to \"seal up\" half the cargo of paper in the offices of the Min Yen Pao, and has decided to \"fine\" the paper $10,000 (£1,000) in addition to confiscating the consignment.]\n\nPage 12\nPage 19\n\n181, Victoria Road,  \nTientsin.  \nFor the Tientsin British Committee of Information.  \nH.

In December 1927, at the time of the Communist rising in Canton, he assisted in breaking a strike of seamen on the Kongmun steamers by organising opposition to the Seamen's Union.\n\nProof of property in Hong Kong, apart from the motor vessel \"Wing Hung\", was also forthcoming.\n\nThe evidence of ownership of the \"Wing Hung\" was considered satisfactory both by the Harbour Master and by the Secretary for Chinese Affairs, who were favourably impressed by Mr. Loud's account of himself.\n\n6.\n\nMr. Loud, by reason of his own service as a certificated officer on British ships, of his public-spirited action in joining the Police Reserve, and of his attitude towards the Seamen's Union, appeared to be a man who would adequately control the crew of any vessel that he owned, and I had no hesitation, therefore, in recommending to the Consul-General, Canton, that permission should be given to the motor",

        "content_text": "# \n22 \n\n(2) Mui-tsai are slaves, because they are deprived of their rights and liberty, are not paid for their labour, and can be re-sold at any time.\n\n(3) There have been innumerable cases of ill-treatment and neglect of mui-tsai. There have also been some cases of employers seducing their mui-tsai, or selling them for immoral purposes. In all such cases it is very difficult for these girls, owing to their ignorance, to defy their employers.\n\n(4) Child-drowning bears no relationship to the mui-tsai system, inasmuch as in child-drowning the victim is invariably one or two days old, while girls sold as mui-tsai have generally attained the age of five or six years, an age at which they can be useful to their purchasers.\n\n(5) The argument that the abolition of the system would lead to the starvation of a large number of poor children can be met by the argument that when employers lose the services of their mui-tsai, they would have to employ paid servant-girls to take their place; and so the daughters of the poor, instead of being sold as chattels, would become paid servants.\n\n(6) Mui-tsai keeping is not charity but, on the contrary, tends to encourage selfish and mercenary men to part with their children in order to enable themselves to be more self-indulgent.\n\n(7) To pass a law with the object of merely preventing cruelty would mean the preservation of the poison in the system by neglecting the source of the disease.\n\n(8) Registration should not cause undue inconvenience and trouble. At present, schools, companies, births and deaths, and medical practitioners have to be registered, and no inconvenience has been experienced by the parties concerned.\n\n(9) The system was abolished by law in China towards the end of the Manchu regime, and again at the beginning of the Republic; and if such could be done in so vast a country as China, there is no reason why it should not be done in this small Colony.\n\n(10) Even if there were some flaws in the draft Bill, the proper way would be to point them out in order to have them remedied, instead of asking that the whole Bill be withdrawn.\n\nThe arguments of the other side for the withdrawal of the Bill are, roughly, as follows:-\n\n(1) Mui-tsai are not slaves, and have never been so regarded in China either by law or by custom. When a mui-tsai is married, she is allowed to look upon the home of her former employer as her own home and is treated as a member of the family.\n\n(2) The lot of the majority of the mui-tsai in Hong Kong is far better than that of the children of poor families in the interior of China, the former being much better fed and clothed. Their parents, if they so wish, are allowed to see them at regular intervals.\n\n(3) Mui-tsai are not always sold; some poor people, having too many children and being unable to support them all, may present some to well-to-do families in order to enable them to be properly brought up and married off.\n\n(4) It can truthfully be said that about ninety or even ninety-five per cent. of the mui-tsai in Hong Kong are well-treated. Those employers who overwork or otherwise ill-treat their mui-tsai would not be deterred by registration, and the only remedy would seem to be imprisonment without the option of a fine in case of gross cruelty. If there are cases of ill-treatment of mui-tsai, there are also cases of ill-treatment of one's own children; a cruel-hearted person in a rage loses the sense of discrimination. Ill-treatment of children is not the fault of a system, but of individuals. The illustration that to take measure merely for preventing cruelty to mui-tsai, without abolishing the system, resembles leaving the poison in the system, is not as convincing as the one that to get rid of a boil on the head, one does not cut off the head.\n\n(5) Before the Bill, with its present irksome provisions, becomes law, some people may send their mui-tsai to the interior to be sold, or given away, or kept with friends. With the already over-populated state of the country, the condition of the mui-tsai would become worse, as a direct outcome of the legislation.\n\n(6) If mui-tsai of or over the age of eighteen are suddenly released from control, when control is more than ever desirable, they may misuse their freedom in all sorts of ways; and so to free them would in reality mean the removal of necessary and salutary control.\n\n(7) The abolition of mui-tsai would not do away with kidnapping of children, but, on the contrary, would increase the sale of girls to evil-disposed persons as \"daughters\". These girls are brought up as \"daughters\" without being required to do domestic work; some with such tender care that their hands are not exposed to hard labour in order not to coarsen them! The object is obvious.\n\n(8) If the Bill is passed, the Government will be faced with the stupendous task of finding accommodation or employment for the large number of mui-tsai who may seek emancipation, or whose employers may voluntarily surrender them to the Government. If the Government does not take charge of all these girls, they must perforce make their employers continue to keep them. Thus, whatever may be the change in the name of the mui-tsai, they can have no change in their position, and it may further be said that they are kept in such a position with the approval or even the authority of the Government.\n\n(9) To enforce the provisions of the Bill, particularly that part relating to inspection and registration, means the employment of a large army of inspectors and detectives for domiciliary visits, and for inspection work upon the arrival and departure of all the trains and steamers which bring in and take out thousands of people every day. This would be costly to the Government, and vexatious to the people.\n\nThese, Sir, are the views of those who ask for the withdrawal of the Bill. There is, besides, another section of the Chinese Community who, while advocating the ultimate abolition of the mui-tsai system, consider that the time is not yet, and in any case strongly deprecate registration. Now, I have given, to the best of my ability, the arguments put forward by the various parties, for and against the measure. The English Secretary of the Anti-Mui-tsai Society has also sent me a letter giving a gist of the views of his Executive Committee on the Bill, which I have handed to the Honourable the learned Attorney-General for his consideration. I am, however, asked to say here that what they recommend constitutes the irreducible minimum. In effect, they support the Bill, with certain proposed amendments which, they consider, should strengthen it. My Chinese colleague and I have also received from the Chinese Labour Unions, the Chinese Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., the Chinese Christian Union, and the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce written representations which we have likewise turned over to the Government.\n\nHaving divested myself of the task imposed upon me by the two sides, of restating their opinions here, I will endeavour to express the views of my Chinese colleague and myself. We feel that where there is a divergence of opinion it is not enough for a member of this Honourable Council merely to express the views, however impartially, of the people whom he represents. He should also weigh the value of the conflicting arguments, endeavour to unravel the web of confusion woven by the disputation, and form his own judgment. In expressing our own conclusion, our honest convictions, it would be necessary for me to go over some of the grounds already traversed, but I know I can count upon a patient hearing. The crux of the matter seems to us to be whether a mui-tsai is a slave or not. If she is, we should not tolerate the system for even one day longer in this Colony; but this point is disposed of by clause 2 of the Bill. Still, in spite of such a definite pronouncement from the Government, we cannot get away from the fact that cases of cruelty have from time to time come to light. We therefore consider that the mui-tsai need special protection by the Government. While I abhor cruelty to children...\n\n23 \n\n*2",

        "content_text": "# THE HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1929\n\n## WARWICK REVUES. CONTINUED SUCCESS.\n\nThe season which opened last week at the Star Theatre, Kowloon, so brightly continues its success. The Warwick Revue Company started off very well, and they are maintaining their high standard. What is more, when a complete change of programme is promised it is given—and that cannot be said of all managers.\n\nThe first two successes of the short season was followed last night by yet another—\"The Merry-Go-Round\"—not that the name matters at all. What does matter is that Mr. Warwick's talented company continue to demonstrate their remarkable store of talent and versatility. There is not a dull moment during the evening; and the various numbers are presented so swiftly, attractively, and with such originality that one almost forgets having seen the same performers a night or two previously, and can imagine an entirely new company having made its appearance in their stead.\n\nIf there be anyone on Kowloon side who has not yet seen a Warwick revue, and who appreciates ...\n\n## CORRESPONDENCE.\n\n### MRS. EDDY AGAIN.\n\nSIR,—I have just seen a cutting from your issue of August 15 and despite the long delay I respectfully request you to publish a few words in regard to the communication therein by William H. Adler, Committee on Publication in Hong Kong for the Boston \"Mother Church.\"\n\nMr. Adler was ill-advised in quoting Rev. Lyman P. Powell of New York City, former President of Hobart College, as having spoken favourably of Mrs. Eddy as the Founder of Christian Science. Some years ago Rev. Powell examined the documentary evidence bearing upon the question of Mrs. Eddy having purloined her doctrines from her teacher, Dr. P. P. Quimby, and then wrote a book entitled \"Christian Science, The Faith and Its Founder\" which was published by the well-known New York firm of G. P. Putnam's Sons. On page 64 of this book Dr. Powell says:-\n\nDr. Quimby had started on his mental healing course years before his most distinguished patient (Mrs. Eddy) had ever heard of him. The most she ever did for him who did so much for her was to give to him while he was alive the appreciation, precious beyond words to every doctor, and when he was dead fulsome verse, in which she made \"sackcloth clothe the sun and day grow night.\" And then, as years went by and ambition grew with what it fed on, she began to claim first that she had started Quimby on his course, then that she, not he, had planned the course, and last, that he had not taken any course at all of mental healing, but was mere mesmerist. And only in the high noon of this year's (1908) publicity has truth crushed to earth risen again to the defence of Quimby and the depreciation of his one-time friend and pupil patient. An unbroken line of witnesses from 1862 to 1875 all testify that Mrs. Eddy was in those years continuously making generous acknowledgement that she got her central principle from Quimby.\n\nA new biography of Mrs. Eddy by Edwin Franden Dakin has just been published by Scribner's, one of the leading American publishers. This 550-page book, which is having a very large sale in America and England, is composed largely of documentary evidence fully sustaining the fact that Mrs. Eddy developed her system entirely from what she got from Quimby. I enclose for your files an extensive review of this book from the New York Times Book Review, the leading American medium of literary criticism.—Yours, etc.\n\nJOHN V. DITTEMORE, Committee on Information, The Christian Science Parent Church.\n\nWASHINGTON, Sept. 13.\n\n## COL. LINDBERGH AS ARCHEOLOGIST. DISCOVERS LOST MAYA CITY.\n\nBelize, British Honduras.—Carrying out a project he has cherished for months, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is conducting an aerial survey of the area between Belize and Yucatan and is reported to have discovered new secrets of the ancient Maya civilization.\n\nRadio reports from Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh state that they have uncovered signs of large ruins in the midst of heretofore impenetrable jungles.\n\nColonel Lindbergh's imagination was fired toward conducting this exploration when, in the course of a good-will flight months ago, he spied ancient ruins in the midst of jungle country.\n\nTwo tiny green lakes gleaming up like eyes attracted his attention and he flew down to discover that they were part of an elaborate plan apparently forming a temple and grounds. No habitations were near and the jungle seemed so dense that to penetrate to the scene on foot would be a labour of months.\n\nLindbergh desired to return at once but other duties called him away. The present work may occupy some time and it is believed that it may have important consequences in facilitating the study of the ancient Mayas.\n\n## PENANG HOSPITAL AFFAIR.\n\nIn the middle of 1927, the Penang visiting committee had reason for strongly criticising the conditions at the General Hospital. As a result, an official report was made by Dr. Douglas and Dr. Ebden, who at that time were stationed at Penang. Three weeks later the visiting committee issued a public statement intimating their decision to resign en bloc.\n\nQuestions were asked in the Legislative Council and in answer to the question as to whether the doctors concerned would be punished, Government replied that their careers would not be prejudiced.\n\nWhat actually happened at the end of Dr. Douglas' term of office was that he was told that his services would no longer be required and he sailed for home in April this year.\n\nDr. Ebden was appointed to an inferior position at Singapore and subsequently appointed Acting Medical Officer, Alor Star.\n\nNow, after 18 months' service in Kedah, during which time he was largely responsible for many much-needed improvements, he has been told his services will no longer be required. The Pinang Gazette says: \"Both men are capable officers who were high up in their profession. If this Machi the Service fails to attract the best men.\"—Straits Times.\n\n## \"WORKERS\" SEIZE PEPING TEMPLE. VIGOROUS BUDDHIST PROTEST.\n\nPeking. A spectacular demonstration was held in the old capital against the recent forcible occupation of the Teh-san Temple by the local Tramway Co.'s workers. The demonstrators, composed of monks, nuns, lamas, and schoolboys from the Buddhist institutions, numbering not less than 2,000, started in a lengthy procession from the western city to the Municipal Party Headquarters. Upon their arrival, the following demands were made:-\n\n| Demand | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | That the temple in question should be returned; |\n| 2 | That compensation should be made by the Workers Union for damage done in the temple; |\n| 3 | That the culprits be punished; |\n| 4 | That the local authorities should afford due protection in future. |\n\nThe requests are said to have been complied with.—Kue Wen.\n\n## PERAMBULATOR THEFTS. TWO CHINESE ARRESTED.\n\nTwo Chinese have been arrested in Kowloon in connection with perambulator thefts which were reported to have occurred last July. Detective Sergeant Humphreys and a posse of police raided a house in Mongkok and took charge of two Chinese and three baby carriages. The men will be brought before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith at Kowloon Magistracy to-day.\n\nThe first man is charged with stealing a perambulator, the property of Mrs. Park, No. 12, Empress Lodge, on July 3; and another perambulator from Mrs. Larcombe, of No. 25, Carnarvon Road, ground floor, on July 9th. In this case, the perambulator was stolen from the hallway.\n\nThe other Chinese is charged with stealing a basinette, valued at $40, from Mrs. Othen at No. 15, Carnarvon Road, on July 25. The first man is further charged with \"receiving\" this basinette.",

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

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

        "content_text": "32 \n\nThe Chinese Labour Unions, the Chinese Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., the Chinese Christian Union, and the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce written representations which we have likewise turned over to the Government.\n\nHaving divested myself of the task imposed upon me by the two sides, of restating their opinions here, I will endeavour to express the views of my Chinese colleague and myself. We feel that where there is a divergence of opinion it is not enough for a Member of this Honourable Council merely to express the views, however impartially, of the people whom he represents. He should also weigh the value of conflicting arguments, endeavour to unravel the web of confusion woven by the disputation, and form his own judgment. In expressing our own conclusion, our honest convictions - it would be necessary for me to go over some of the ground already traversed, but I know I can count upon a patient hearing. The crux of the matter seems to us to be whether a mui-tsai is a slave or not. If she is, we should not tolerate the system for even one day longer in this Colony; but this point is disposed of by clause 2 of the Bill. Still, in spite of such a definite pronouncement from the Government, we cannot get away from the fact that cases of cruelty have from time to time come to light. We therefore consider that the mui-tsai need special protection by the Government. While I abhor cruelty to children and consider a fine, however heavy, totally inadequate for offenders, I agree with those who hold that the present Bill would not deter the small number of people, who are by nature cruel, from ill-treating their mui-tsai. For such people, I advocate a long term of imprisonment with hard labour. I strongly deprecate, as do all my Honourable Unofficial colleagues, the introduction of registration. Endless inconvenience and trouble would be caused to the people by requiring them to register their mui-tsai, to report any change of address, and wherever they leave the Colony with a mui-tsai, even temporarily. I do not agree with the supporters of the Bill that registration in this case would not cause undue inconvenience, judging by the smooth working of the laws governing the registration of births, schools, companies, and medical practitioners. This is arguing on totally wrong premises. A little thought will convince any impartial person that it is one thing to have, for instance, a birth or a school registered, and quite another to have to report every intended removal of a mui-tsai from the Colony, even temporarily, and every change of address of the mui-tsai or of the employer. Further, according to the Bill, the employer, whatever his station in life, has to take out an identification ticket, as if (to use the words of a Chinese gentleman) he were a discharged convict who has periodically to report himself to the police. Moreover, registration in this case, if it is to be effective, would necessitate domiciliary visits, which would open a door to all sorts of abuses, such as bribery, thieves masquerading as detectives to gain admission into houses, and interference with the privacy of the home; a thing repugnant to all free men. Registration of mui-tsai will not prevent their maltreatment any more than registration of shop-fokis will prevent thefts and embezzlements. Rather than have this registration law imposed on them, the employers of mui-tsai would sooner give them up at once, either to the Government or to such institutions as the Government would name. This would mean that the Government has to provide accommodation and find employment for the mui-tsai, of whom there are about ten thousand in the Colony. As a correspondent to the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce has said, there are unfortunately very few foundling houses in Hong Kong or in China, and so the present homes of the mui-tsai constitute a sort of foundling houses for them; otherwise, a large number of them would have been drowned by their parents or starved to death.\n\nHong Kong is so bound up with Canton, geographically and economically, that to stop the employment of mui-tsai after the Bill becomes law as prescribed by clause 4 would be impracticable unless China acts likewise. I am of the humble opinion that no real improvement of any time-honoured social custom can be effected by sudden and violent change. The mui-tsai system has been in existence for thousands of years, having grown up under the economic conditions of life. The wide publicity that has recently been given to the question should help materially to bring about the attainment of this object. The best method to this end would seem to be a gradual and careful education of public opinion.",

        "content_text": "## 5363-23\n\n(3) Mui-tsai are not always sold; some poor people, having too many children and being unable to support them all, may present some to well-to-do families in order to enable them to be properly brought up and married off.\n\n(4) It can truthfully be said that about ninety or even ninety-five per cent. of the mui-tsai in Hong Kong are well treated. Those employers who overwork or otherwise ill-treat their mui-tsai would not be deterred by registration, and the only remedy would seem to be imprisonment without the option of a fine in case of gross cruelty. If there are cases of ill-treatment of mui-tsai there are also cases of ill-treatment of one's own children; a cruel-hearted person in a rage loses the sense of discrimination. Ill-treatment of children is not the fault of a system, but of individuals. The illustration that to take measures merely for preventing cruelty to mui-tsai, without abolishing the system, resembles leaving the poison in the system, is not as convincing as the one that to get rid of a boil on the head one does not cut off the head.\n\n(5) Before the Bill, with its present irksome conditions, becomes law, some people may send their mui-tsai to the interior to be sold, or given away, or kept with friends. With the already over-populated state of the country, the condition of the mui-tsai would become worse, as a direct outcome of the legislation.\n\n(6) If mui-tsai of or over the age of eighteen are suddenly released from control, when control is more than ever desirable, they may misuse their freedom in all sorts of ways; and so to free them would in reality mean the removal of necessary and salutary control.\n\n### 6:\n\n(7) The abolition of mui-tsai would not do away with kidnapping of children, but on the contrary, would increase the sale of girls to evil-disposed persons as daughters. These girls are brought up as daughters without being required to do domestic work; some with such tender care that their hands are not exposed to hard labour in order not to coarsen them. The object is obvious.\n\n(8) If the Bill is passed, the Government will be faced with the stupendous task of finding accommodation or employment for the large number of mui-tsai who may seek emancipation, or whose employers may voluntarily surrender them to the Government. If the Government does not take charge of all these girls, they must perforce make their employers continue to keep them. Thus, whatever may be the change in the name of the mui-tsai, they can have no change in their position, and it may further be said that they are kept in such a position with the approval or even the authority of the Government.\n\n(9) To enforce the provisions of the Bill, particularly that part relating to inspection and registration, means the employment of a large army of inspectors and detectives for domiciliary visits, and for inspection work upon the arrival and departure of all the trains and steamers which bring in and take out thousands of people every day. This would be costly to the Government, and vexatious to the people.\n\nThese, Sir, are the views of those who ask for the withdrawal of the Bill. There is, besides, another section of the Chinese Community who, while advocating the ultimate abolition of the mui-tsai system, consider that the time is not yet, and in any case strongly deprecate registration. Now, I have given, to the best of my ability, the arguments put forward by the various parties, for and against the measure. The English Secretary of the Anti-mui-tsai Society has also sent me a letter giving a gist of the views of his Executive Committee on the Bill, which I have handed to the Honourable the learned Attorney-General for his consideration. I am, however, asked to say here that what they recommend constitutes the irreducible minimum. In effect, they support the Bill, with certain proposed amendments which, they consider, should strengthen it. My Chinese colleague and I have also received from the Chinese Labour Unions, the Chinese Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., the Chinese Christian Union, and the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce written representations which we have likewise turned over to the Government.\n\nThe crux of the matter seems to us to be whether a mui-tsai is a slave or not. If she is, we should not tolerate the system for even one day longer in this Colony; but this point is disposed of by clause 2 of the Bill.

By H. G. Duncan.\n\nXV and 424 pp. New York: Longmans, Green and Co. 1929.\n\nquantitative\n\nThis book forms one of the Long-mans' Social Science Series under the general editorship of Professor Ernest R. Groves. It is designed as a general introduction to population problems, both in their qualitative and quantitative aspects. As a textbook it differs from others in that it contains a great many quotations and citations from various authorities in the field, as the author has tried to make it serve at the same time as a book of readings. We see here the last stage of the process of the simplification of supplementary reading materials, for which the average American college student cannot but feel thankful. Knowledge is nowadays obtainable in increasingly handy and digestible doses. Let us hope there is no appreciable loss of flavor and piquancy which goes with original and deliberate search.\n\nThe text is in two books, the first having to do with the problem of races, and the second with the problem of numbers. While on the whole the author presents a quite balanced panoramic view of the whole field of population problems, the second book appears to be much better written. One of the reasons for this is that the qualitative problem has been approached in recent years from many more angles than the quantitative, and there is much less agreement as to some of its major issues. As one of the weaknesses we may mention our author's failure to distinguish between race as \"stirps\" which involves valuation and race as a taxonomical term which is merely descriptive. The failure is quite common; it is also found in Professor Hankin's Racial Basis of Civilization, but is quite serious as it tends strongly to becloud the issues involved. The racialist eugenist owes the untenability of his position almost entirely to his inability to make this distinction. A better outline of the volume would be Book I, The Problem of Races, Book II. The Problem of Quality, and Book III, The Problem of Numbers.\n\nAnother weakness appears to be our author's inability to be really impartial between any two rival schools of thought. This weakness is of course well-nigh universal. While the author \"has striven to refrain from injecting his own conclusions,\" his inclination towards some particular viewpoint or school of thought is often quite obvious from the way he sifts his reference materials and the varying emphasis which he puts upon them, usually through the use of italics. Our author starts one of the chapters saying, \"We have no intention of minimizing the importance of the social environment, but it is well to remember.........\" But he concludes the same chapter with a passage from Jennings, the very last sentence of which he has taken pains to italicise: \"And the way they (the hereditary units called genes) interact and what they produce depends on the conditions.\" So our author appears to be at heart an environmentalist. Similarly, he appears to be a racial egalitarian, and tends to minimize racial differences. While he speaks disdainfully of the racialists, he himself has not hesitated to refer to the Mexican as \"a more slothful and less progressive group\" than the Americans, the Chinese as \"non-assuming,\" and the Japanese as \"efficient,\" nor has he been slow in adopting Professor Smith's Tentative Scheme of the Relationships of the Different Genera, Species, and Races of the Human Family, which makes the Nordic Race the latest development of the trunk and all other races earlier developed branches from the trunk.\n\nThat in the discussion of monogenism versus polygenism and of the production of genius, Crookshank and Redfield should have occupied as respectable places as most other authorities, and this in an introductory textbook, is a big surprise to us. We also wonder why in the discussion of mental differences between races, Professor Porteus' contributions which are based upon quantitative measurements and upon a method of testing which obviated the use of language, are not even alluded to.\n\nAs minor mistakes, we may mention that the three teeth of the Java Man were not all discovered by Dubois in 1891-2. One of the three came to light a few years later as a result of the expedition sent out by Madame Selenka. Polydactylism, brachydactylism and the \"sex-linked disease, color-blindness\" are by this time fairly well established to be Mendelian traits, and not \"thought by a few\" to be such. Students in heredity usually do not call such traits as color-blindness \"diseases.\" And in calling such traits \"sex-linked,\" the author has himself implied something more than what is strictly Mendelian.\n\nThe volume has more typographical errors than one would normally expect from American publishers. One error is perhaps serious, as it appears more than once; we refer to Professor H. F. Osborn being misspelt \"Osborne\" on page 143.\n\nIn spite of all this, we do not hesitate to recommend this volume as a good textbook for a term course in Race and Population Problems, provided of course the teacher knows how to make good some of the drawbacks we have mentioned. For Chinese colleges and universities which are not equipped with good reference libraries, the volume will prove particularly useful, as it is in part a book of readings, containing as many as \"some 650 quotations and citations\" which \"present the major as well as some of the minor contributions to the field.\"\n\nQ. P.\n\nOFFICIAL DOCUMENTS\n\nTHE RAILWAY ENTERPRISE UNDER THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT\n\nA Brief History of the Ministry of Railways\n\nDr. Sun Yat-sen said \"Transportation is the key to Industries and Railway the key to Transportation.\" Verily the Railway is the fundamental instrument of transportation and therefore the foundation of industrial development. That is why Dr. Sun Yat-sen advocated, at the very beginning of the Republic, the construction of a 100,000-mile railway network. His advocacy has taught us that without executing the Railway policy, material construction in China will be impossible.\n\nThe National Government, acting on Dr. Sun's instruction, established on November 1st, 1928, under the Executive Yuan the Ministry of Railways to take charge of the Railways in the Country and to consummate Dr. Sun's plan. Mr. Sun Fo was appointed Minister; Messrs. Lien Sing-hai and Wang Cheng were appointed Political and Administrative Vice-Ministers respectively. On the day of the Ministry's inauguration, it consisted, as provided in the Organic Law promulgated by the National Government, four departments, namely, the Department of General Affairs, the Department of Railways Administration, the Finance Department and the Department of Planning and Construction with Messrs. Chen Yen Chun, J. K. Choy, Wang Cheng and Y. S. Chun as Directors of the respective departments. Messrs. C. S. Liu, T. C. Yen, Kuan Keng Lin and J. Usang Ly were appointed Counsellors.\n\nHaving taken over from the Ministry of Communications all duties pertaining to Railways, the Chiaotung University in Shanghai, the Civil Engineering College in Tangshan, the College of Railway Administration in Peking and a chain of Railway Middle and Primary Schools established in the various Railway Centers for the education of the children of Railway employees; the Ministry set to work. Minister Sun Fo introduced in the Central Political Council of the Kuomintang two Administrative Policies; i.e., the Centralization of Railway Administration and the Independence of Railway Accounting System. Having passed these resolutions, the Central Political Council ordered the Ministries of War and Railways to execute these policies in full. The Railway enterprise in China began a new life.\n\nOn account of the lack of Railway experts in China, Dr. J. A. L. Waddell was retained as Consulting Engineer, Mr. J. J. Mantell as Adviser on Railway Management, Mr. R. S. Norman as Legal Adviser and Mr. Wm. B. Poland as financial Adviser to the Ministry.\n\nFor the sake of facilitating business transaction, an office of the Ministry was established at Shanghai with Mr. Tieh-sun Chen as Director.\n\nSo much for organization; let us now come to the administration of the various Railways.\n\nSince Nanking became the National Capital, the political and economic importance of the Nanking-Shanghai and the Shanghai-Hangchow-Ningpo Railways has gradually grown. Mr. J. K. Choy was appointed to concurrently take charge of these administrations.\n\nThe Peiping-Mukden and Peiping-Suiyuan Railways, being trunk lines of the North-East, have suffered great damages from internal strife of late. They urgently need rehabilitation. Mr. Wang Cheng was appointed to currently take charge of them.\n\nThe Lunghai and the Tatung-Chengtu Railways were formerly administered by Directorates-General. Upon the recommendation of the Ministry, the Executive Yuan abolished the above-mentioned offices so that the administration of these Railways would be under one head instead of two.\n\nThe settlement of the Tsinan Incident called for reorganization of the Kiao-Tsi Railway. Consequently, the Kiao-Tsi Railway Managing Commission was established with Dr. T. C. Yen as Chairman of the Commission.\n\nLater, with its head office removed to Peiping, the Hankow-Peiping Railway was renamed as Peiping-Hankow Railway. Mr. W. T. Liu was appointed Managing Director.\n\nMessrs. Pan Ting-hsien, Sun Ho-kao and Faung Ta-chih were appointed Managing Directors of the Peiping-Suiyuan, the Tientsin-Pukow Railways and the Hunan-Hupei Section of the Canton-Hankow Railway respectively.\n\nThen three Railways in Kwangtung came under the actual control of the Ministry. The Canton-Samsui Railway was amalgamated into the Canton-Hankow Railway with Mr. Chen Yin Wen as Managing Director, while Mr. Liu Chiu-ko was made Managing Director of the Canton-Kowloon Railway.\n\nUpon the request of the Kiangsi Provincial Government, the Ministry took over the administration of the Nanchang-Kiukiang Railway. Mr. Kung Hsueh Shui was appointed Managing Director.\n\nAfter the inauguration of the Ministry, the Ministry of Communications, acting on the order of the State Council, transferred to the Ministry of Railways all duties pertaining to National Highways. A National Highway Planning Commission was organized with three Commissioners appointed by the Ministry and one representative from each of the Provincial Construction Departments and Mr. Y. S. Chun as Chairman. It completed its task of planning in three months.\n\nThe Ministry of Communications also handed over its European office at Paris which served as an organ to arrange for international through traffic. Upon taking charge of this office, the Ministry appointed Mr. K. Y. Woo as Director and concurrently as Delegate to the International Railway Union representing the Peiping-Liaoning, the Peiping-Hankow and the Tientsin-Pukow Railways.\n\nFor the classification of goods and the determination of tariffs, the Advisory Committee on Fares, Rates and Classification of Goods was appointed with the Director of the Department of Railway Administration as Chairman of the Committee.\n\nIn order to unify the accounting and statistical systems of the various Railways, the Advisory Committee on the Unification of Railway Accounts and Statistics was appointed with the Director of the Finance Department as Chairman.\n\nAn Editorial Committee on Railway Rules and Regulations was also appointed. Vice-Minister Lien Sing-hai serves as Chairman.\n\nTo eliminate corruption in the purchasing of Railway materials, a Purchasing Commission, a Commission on Selection of Tenders and a Commission on Inspection of Purchased Materials were organized. Later, the three Commissions were amalgamated into the Purchasing Commission with Messrs. Hu Chi-hsien, Tieh-san Chen and Chen Chiu An as members of the Standing Committee. Three Sub-committees were appointed to Peiping, Hankow and Canton.\n\nFor the training of qualified personnel for Railway Service, the improvement of the existing Railway Schools and the education of the low-grade staff and laborers now in active service, the Committee on Railway Education was organized with at first Mr. Y. S. Chun and later Mr. Kuan Keng Lin as Chairman.\n\nMore than fifty years have elapsed since China first adopted modern means of communication, but no complete and reliable record of the History of Communications is available. Since the organization of a Committee to compile a history of communications under the auspices of the Bureau of Compilation and Translation in the defunct Peking Government in 1922, the history has not been completed although several changes had already taken place. The Ministry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Communications, organized the Committee for Compiling the History of Communications with Mr. Kuan Keng Lin as Chairman and Mr. Chang Hsin Cheng, a division chief of the Ministry of Communications, as Editor-in-Chief.\n\nIn last September, Vice-Minister Wang Cheng resigned on account of poor health. Mr. J. Usang Ly was appointed to succeed him. Meanwhile, Mr. Hu Chi-hsien was appointed Director of the Finance Department, Dr. T. C. Yen was transferred to be Chief Technical Expert. Messrs. Liang Han Chau, F. K. Sah and Dr. King Cheng-yang were appointed Counsellors.\n\nNot long after, Mr. J. K. Choy was sent to Europe to study Railway conditions and problems. Mr. F. K. Sah was made acting Director of the Department of Railway Administration and Mr. Hu Chi-hsien was appointed to concurrently take charge of the Administration of the Nanking-Shanghai and Shanghai-Hangchow-Ningpo Railways.\n\nThe Peiping-Mukden Railways was renamed as Peiping-Liaoning Railway with Mr. Kao Chi Yi appointed Managing Director. The unification of administration in the Peiping-Liaoning Railway was effected.\n\nFor one year after the establishment of the Ministry, no serious change in organization took place. But being newly established, the division of duties inside the Ministry worked more or less on a trial basis. As the Ministry goes on, experience calls for reorganization. Therefore, on the 18th of last November, the National Government promulgated the revised Organic Law of the Ministry. In the new organization, the Ministry is composed of the following departments and bureaus:\n\n1. The Counsellors' Office.\n\n2. The Secretariat.\n\n3. The Department of General Affairs, with Mr. Chen Yen Chun as Director.\n\n4. The Department of Traffic and Operation with Mr. Kuan Keng Lin as Acting Director.\n\n5. The Finance Department with Mr. Hu Chi-hsien as Director.\n\n6. The Engineering Department with Mr. F. K. Sah as Director.\n\n7. The Railway Through Traffic Administration with Mr. Kuan Keng Lin as Acting Director.\n\n8. The Bureau of Statistics with Mr. F. K. Mok as Director.\n\n9. The Railway Health Service with Dr. S. M. Woo as Director.",

Except as otherwise provided by the present Treaty, subjects of His Majesty in China shall as from its coming into force be subject to the jurisdiction of the modern Chinese courts of justice (Fa Yuan) and to the duly promulgated laws, ordinances and regulations of China.\n\n2. As regards rights of appeal and in all other matters of procedure the modern Chinese codes of law and procedure shall be applicable to subjects of His Majesty. In all legal proceedings and in all matters relating to the administration of justice by the courts subjects of His Majesty shall enjoy treatment not less favourable than that accorded to Chinese citizens.\n\n3. Except as provided in paragraph 4 of this article, subjects of His Majesty shall not be subject to the jurisdiction of the police courts; nor shall they be subject to the jurisdiction of any other tribunals than the modern Chinese courts of justice.\n\n4. Subjects of His Majesty shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the modern police courts in case of offences under the police offences code or under municipal regulations, but in each of such cases the penalty imposed by the court shall not exceed a fine of 15 yuan (dollars) or, in the event of such fine not being paid, detention at the rate of one day's detention for each yuan (dollar) of the fine imposed up to a maximum of fifteen days.\n\n## ARTICLE 2.\n\nIn the district courts in Harbin, Shenyang (Mukden), Tientsin, Tsingtao, Shanghai, Hankow, Chungking, Canton, Foochiow, and Kunmin (Yunnanfu), and in the high courts having appellate jurisdiction over such district courts, with the exception of the Supreme Court, special chambers shall be established for dealing with cases involving subjects of His Majesty as defendants or accused. All cases involving subjects of His Majesty, wherever resident, as defendants or accused, except when they may be taken to the Supreme Court on final appeal, or when a subject of His Majesty concerned may elect, in writing, to submit himself to the jurisdiction of the local modern court having jurisdiction over purely Chinese cases of a similar nature, shall be tried only before these special chambers. Any case involving a subject of His Majesty as defendant or accused, which originates within the ordinary jurisdiction of a court other than one of those mentioned above, will (unless the subject of His Majesty concerned elects otherwise, as provided above) be transferred for trial to the special chamber most accessible to the court within whose jurisdiction the case originates.\n\n## ARTICLE 8.\n\n1. To each of the special chambers provided in the preceding article there shall be attached foreign legal counsellors who shall be selected and appointed as officials of China by the Chinese Government from among foreign legal experts of high moral character... \n\nPage 251",

        "content_text": "## Chinese Students in Great Britain\n\nand on their return will acquire the title of \"returned student.\"\n\n### RETURNED STUDENTS\n\nUnfortunately, for those of us who become \"returned students\" and for the others who so regard us, there exists in China today a high estimation of \"returned students.\" This high estimation is natural in that students who have been abroad are (compared to the population who have never left China) relatively the privileged few. A returned student, besides having supposedly learnt the secrets of the greatness of the country he has been living in for the last few years, is expected to know a great deal besides—in fact, practically everything—in much the same way that some English expect us students here to know everything about China; in my experience, anything from the valuation of antiques to a knowledge of the flora and fauna of China! I am afraid we make very poor imparters of information about China to you now. Imagine the situation when we are expected to be bureaux of information about England after having spent a comparatively short time here!\n\nThis indiscriminate high estimation of returned students cannot and should not last, by reason of the existence of the undeserving ones who inevitably prejudice the deserving. Fortunately for those of us from Great Britain, we seem to have been less prejudiced in this way than those from countries where Chinese students are much more numerous, for there has pervaded throughout China an impression that Chinese students from Great Britain are relatively fewer in number but higher in quality. For this excellent impression, we of the present generation have to thank a number of distinguished former Chinese students of Great Britain, and I can do no better than conclude by giving you a list of some of their names. This list includes some of the most famous names in China, rulers and leaders of our country in every walk of life, who, while comparatively unknown here, are considered in China as of national standing.\n\n### Chinese Students in Great Britain\n\nIn the political world, let me mention, first, the first two Nationalist Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Chen Yu-jen (Eugene Chen) who qualified as a solicitor in London, and C. C. Wu, who won law prizes and scholarships in the University of London and in Lincoln's Inn, and who is at present Minister in the United States, and also China's Delegate to the League of Nations. There are also other great lawyers who have risen to the highest Government posts: Wang Chung-hui, the present Minister of Justice, and also Judge of the Permanent Court of International Justice at The Hague, who was a member of the Inner Temple in London, and Lo Wen-kan, an M.A. of Oxford and also a member of the Inner Temple.\n\nCambridge Chinese students have made good diplomats: Lo Tsung-yi, the Minister in Denmark; T. K. Tseng, until recently Minister in Sweden and Norway; P. K. C. Tyau, former Minister in Cuba and Panama, were all educated at Cambridge. In the realm of medicine, Cambridge and Edinburgh share the honours: Wu Lien-teh, the international expert on Plague, was a scholar of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, before going with another scholarship to St. Mary's Hospital, London; Dr. New Hui-lin of Shanghai was an Exhibitioner of Downing College, Cambridge; while the Liang brothers of Tientsin, and S. P. Chen of Peking were all at Gonville and Caius College. On the Edinburgh side, Dr. Lim Boon-keng, President of Amoy University and versatile in many fields; his son Robert K. S. Lim, Professor of Physiology at Peking Union Medical College; and C. Y. Wang, Professor of Pathology in Hong Kong University (another member of the distinguished family of which Wang Chung-hui is a member) were all gold medallists of Edinburgh University. Then Glasgow and Cambridge have combined in producing another very eminent scientist, V. K. Ting, the very able Director of the National Geological Survey. Then I might add a few more names picked out at random: the late Ku Hung-ming, philosopher and writer, who was at \n\nPage 80",

Sir William has done us the honour of becoming the Patron of our Union.\n\nOwing to the inclement weather we could not hold many launch picnics as we did during the previous summer; however, we did have one, and it was run at a loss too!\n\nBesides the usual social activities, the Double Ten Concert and Dance was held with great success. This function was well attended, the guests numbered about 800. We thank the committees, especially those who helped in the decorations, for their kind help and co-operation.\n\nA lecture on **What is the Bahai Movement** was delivered in the Union by Miss M. Root.\n\nWe take this opportunity again of congratulating Sir William on the honour which has been conferred on him recently. We thank him for his unfailing interest in the activities of the Union, especially on the field of sports, and we sincerely say again here, what our President had already voiced for us, that we rejoice over his knighthood more than we had rejoiced over his success in obtaining a portion of the Boxer Indemnity Fund for the University.\n\nDr. M. B. Osman left us to join the Malayan Medical Service. We gave him a farewell tea party, but this was only a small way to show him our appreciation for what he has done for the Union in the past. We wish him every success in his future career.\n\nThere were two issues of the Union Magazine during the year. The Editor and Business Manager (Messrs. Chan Fung-kee and Peter Pau) were responsible for the success of the July Issue. The October issue also sold well and realised a profit of $110.24. We congratulate the Editor, Mr. Yeap Choong-yow and the Business Manager, Mr. K. T. Loke.\n\nSince the beginning of the year under review, several hundred books on varied subjects have been purchased for the Jordan Memorial Library. These books have been obtained from local book-sellers and from England. New book-cases to accommodate the new stock have been made, and the old rules for the lending of books have been revised. About 200 Borrower's Tickets have been issued. We congratulate the Hon. Librarian, Mr. Yeap Choong-yow, and the Sub-Committee of the Library on their splendid work in the great improvement that has been effected, and also to Messrs. F. Hiptoola, K. T. Loke and Dr. M. B. Osman for the selection of the Books.\n\nThe Athletic Association and the affiliated clubs enjoyed a successful year. The athletic meeting which was held in March was well organised and the officials and committees are to be congratulated on the success of the sports. Lugard Hall won the Inter-Hostel Championship again. We congratulate Mr. Lee Hah-ling, the Individual Champion, on his fine performance of equalling the 100 yards and the 220 yards records, and Mr. Lee Chwee-moke on breaking the Pole Jump record by 1 1⁄2 ins.\n\nThe Cricket Club did quite well in both divisions of the League, although it lost the services of several of its best cricketers, who had left the University. In the annual matches, the Past vs. Present Match ended in a victory for the former. Phoenixes, captained by Mr. F. Hiptoola, beat Dr. Ponsonby's XI. The Inter-faculty matches were also played but resulted in a draw. We congratulate Mr. S. R. Kermani on his cricket 'green', and those players who were awarded their 'phoenixes' during the year.\n\nThe Tennis Club was as active as ever. There was a record entry for the events in the University Tournament. We congratulate Mr. G. de Souza and Miss R. Perry on winning the Men's and the Ladies' Championship respectively, and Messrs. F. Y. Khoo and T. K. Lien, the Doubles Championship. Both the tennis teams did well in the local League, but the Mixed Doubles Team was not so fortunate. The Medicals won the Inter-faculty tournament, while Eliot Hall, once again, won the Inter-hostel Shield.\n\nThe Basketball Club had a fairly successful year and also did well in the Hongkong Open League. May Hall is to be congratulated on winning the Hett Inter-hostel Shield again. The Inter-faculty matches ended in a draw. We congratulate Mr. T. K. Lien on his winning the basketball 'green' and those players who have been awarded their club colours.\n\nPage 36\nPage 37\nPage 158",

Reserve\n\nre\n\n## Step 1\nThe task requires proofreading OCR output of historical records related to Hong Kong, transforming the text into standard Markdown, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, restoring paragraph breaks, indicating missing words, and following specific formatting rules.\n\n## Step 2\nThe given text appears to be a mix of articles, news, and advertisements from a newspaper, likely the South China Morning Post, dated October 23, 1931. The text includes various topics such as legislative council meetings, budget debates, international news, and advertisements.\n\n## Step 3\nTo begin proofreading, we first need to identify and correct obvious OCR errors, such as misrecognized characters, incorrect spacing, and broken words.\n\n## Step 4\nUpon examining the text, numerous OCR errors are evident, including misspellings like \"zivil Hrvata\" which should be corrected to \"civil servants,\" \"éézust ruta\" to \"certain route,\" and \"kačzoaning\" to a more plausible word, possibly \"causing.\"\n\n## Step 5\nThe text also contains formatting issues, such as incorrect paragraph breaks and missing or extra spaces. For example, \"Page 13. „Duging yesterday'ı, Kadynt debati\" should be formatted as a header or title indicating a page break and the start of a new section or article.\n\n## Step 6\nSome sentences are broken across lines or columns without logical reason, and these need to be rejoined. For instance, sentences discussing the budget debate and legislative council decisions are fragmented and require reassembly.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text includes advertisements and news articles that need to be formatted correctly. Advertisements like \"Start-Rite Shoes\" and \"PEBECO TOOTH-PASTE\" should be identified and formatted as such.\n\n## Step 8\nFile references and page numbering need to be formatted according to the rules. For example, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72,\" and \"Page XX\" lines should be preserved as they are, indicating page breaks.\n\n## Step 9\nGiven the complexity and the volume of the text, a detailed, line-by-line correction is necessary to ensure accuracy and adherence to the specified formatting rules.\n\n## Step 10\nThe final output should be in HTML format using  for paragraphs and \n only when necessary, without including markdown or code fences.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\nPage 13. „During yesterday's, Kadynt debate\n\nCod dem not the proposal, 14 ver the pay of sterling-peld civil servants at certain ruta af sochasDa asi anked fer KE KEPONIE PODKL Awan takım oy an Ammand-maxi, which was Zen, and the Brages ww carried\n\nPage 14\n\nUnofficial members of the Legislative Council\n\nFor the purpose of balancing the budget\n\nBetween the District Officer, Coast and the inhabitants' bone where he met tarday approved, caution fr North of people—savants, buningan | varying tobaccoena duchas, causing the a patamal degree where exte They reduction affects part of | magsales, lawyers, artista, bazzara | duties on light via and imponing a irritation would have been par- the Army and leave saulker per- and above all the economy of the duty on non-intrecasting latach, donable.

Messer retired from Government service last year and his place on the Finance Committee has been taken by the Hon. Mr. E. Taylor who succeeded him as Colonial Treasurer.\n\nThe University Council.—Hon. Mr. T. N. Chau has become a member of the Council of the University and H.E. the Chancellor has also been pleased to appoint Sir Shou-son Chow as an additional member of the Council.\n\nThe University Court. The following new members were appointed to the Court of the University during 1931—Professor L. J. Davis (ex-officio), the Hon. Mr. E. Taylor (ex-officio), Mr. G. S. Archbutt (ex-officio-acting).\n\nGROUNDS AND BUILDINGS.\n\nDuring the last long vacation, advantage was taken of the improved financial position to carry out a complete renovation of the University's main buildings. Another improvement effected was the substitution of the underground for the overhead system of lighting on the estate. Certain improvements were carried out in the lecture rooms of the English Department and in those of the Departments of Physiology and Anatomy. A reading room for engineering students has been provided in the Ho Tung Workshop.\n\nSeveral of the staff residences and University buildings were rewired and it can now be said with some confidence that the fabric of the University is in good condition.\n\nWater supply arrangements have been overhauled and fire-fighting appliances installed in the University hostels.\n\nThe completion of the Tang Chi Ngong School of Chinese has relieved the congestion in the main building. The Departments of Chinese, Education, History, and Geography are now accommodated in this building. The need for space for the expansion of the main University Library is a pressing one, as is also that for the provision of further laboratory accommodation in the Medical Schools.\n\nIncreased laboratory and lecture room accommodation is badly wanted both for Chemistry and Physics.\n\nThe need for the expansion of the Ho Tung Workshop to provide for a satisfactory Prime Movers Laboratory is an urgent one. The erection just above Bonham Road of the fine building which is being put up for the Fung Ping Shan Chinese Library makes the present Prime Movers and Hydraulics Laboratory, which is still housed in a derelict pumping station, look more disreputable than ever. The library is now nearing completion.\n\nTHE UNIVERSITIES CHINA COMMITTEE.\n\nLast year, the Universities China Committee in London received from the Boxer Indemnity a grant of £200,000. The next step was the incorporation of the Committee as a recognised society. The Committee then met and decided to send out a delegation consisting of Sir Reginald Johnston, K.C.M.G., C.B.E. (Professor of Chinese, School of Oriental Studies, University of London, and an honorary LL.D. of this University), Professor W. G. S. Adams, Gladstone Professor of Political Theory and Institutions, Oxford, and a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and Professor P. M. Roxby, Professor of Geography, University of Liverpool. Sir Reginald Johnston and Professor Adams both visited the University. The latter lived in the University for several days.\n\nOTHER VISITORS.\n\nGeneral Sir Arthur Currie, G.C.M.G., K.C.B.E., Principal, McGill University, Montreal, visited the University on the 18th March, 1931. Dr. Foo Ping Sheung, the University's first Chinese honorary doctor of laws, came to the University in 1931 and delivered a lecture before the Engineering Society on the Development of China.\n\nTHE LIBRARY.\n\nThe University contrived to raise the grant for 1931 for the purchase of books and periodicals for its library by $3,000—the grant for the year being $7,000. The number of volumes, Government publications, etc., received into the Library up to the 31st December, 1931, was 27,947. This total does not include the Morrison collection of over 2,000 volumes.\n\nThe Librarian stresses the urgent need for increased accommodation and improved equipment.\n\nTHE UNION AND STUDENTS' ACTIVITIES.\n\nThe Union, with its various literary, athletic, and social organisations, continues to flourish.\n\n9\n\n26",

Subscription rates are: Asia, $7.00 Hong Kong currency; Europe, Twelve shillings and six pence; America, $3.00 (gold); per annum, post free.\n\nCONTRIBUTIONS.\n\nContributions on all subjects of Botanical, Zoological, Geological, and Historical interest connected with the Colony of Hong Kong, or with adjacent countries, will be considered by the Editors.\n\nManuscripts should be typed and corrected carefully and clearly before being submitted for publication. Authors should bear in mind the fact that the MSS. are set up by Chinese compositors to whom English is a foreign language and they are therefore asked to send clearly typed, double-spaced, first copies, not carbon copies, of their articles.\n\nSeparates will be charged for at the printer's current price. The number required should be noted on the MS.\n\nILLUSTRATIONS.\n\nArticles submitted for publication, especially those of a technical nature, should be adequately illustrated.\n\nWherever possible illustrations should be drawn on a large scale in Indian Ink on Bristol board so that they can be directly reproduced on a reduced scale on zinc blocks and appear as figures in the text. No wash must be introduced into such drawings; shading where required must be put in by means of separate dots or lines.\n\nThe size to which drawings and photographs are to be reproduced should be indicated in the following manner. Under each illustration or group of illustrations, a line should be ruled in pencil parallel with the base of the illustration and extending from one side of it to the other. Under this line should be written in pencil, \"reduce to so many inches and tenths of an inch.\" The scale should be indicated under each illustration. If this method is universally adopted, it will save the editor much work.\n\nPhotographs will be reproduced by the half-tone process and will appear as plates. It is essential that the prints supplied should be of good technical quality; black and white prints on a paper with a highly glazed surface reproduce best. If drawings or photographs are supplied mounted on cardboard, it is essential that each illustration be mounted flat and not stuck on carelessly.\n\n[153]\n\nBOOK REVIEW.\n\nInternational Address Book of Botanists: being a Directory of individuals and scientific institutions, universities, etc., in all parts of the world interested in the study of Botany. Prepared in accordance with a resolution passed at the Fifth International Botanical Congress, Cambridge, 1930. Published for the Bentham Trustees by Baillière, Tindall and Cox, 7 and 8 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London. Price, twelve shillings and sixpence (postage one shilling extra).\n\nThe committee appointed to arrange for the publication of this book consisted of Professor L. Diels, Director of the Berlin Botanical Gardens; Dr. E. D. Merrill, Director of the New York Botanical Garden; and Dr. T. F. Chipp, Assistant Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Prior to the publication of this Address Book, Dr. T. F. Chipp died suddenly. Dr. T. F. Chipp gave the editor of the Hong Kong Naturalist much valuable advice, and it is of interest to record that in the last letter received by the writer, written shortly before Dr. Chipp's death, Dr. Chipp made a suggestion regarding the Climatological Data recorded in the Naturalist, which advice was immediately acted upon. We add our expression of deep regret at the death of Dr. T. F. Chipp to those that have been recorded by botanists throughout the world.\n\n[75]\n\nIn this 600-page book, no less than 11,000 names of botanists are included. Hong Kong is credited with 2 botanists, but even so, it beats Crete and Eritrea, Nicaragua and North Borneo, and a few other places which boast of but one each. The Union of Socialistic Soviet Republics has nearly a thousand professing botanists, about the same number as Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The United States of America possess about 3,300, or roughly one botanist to every 40,000 laymen, a proportion which is about 10 times greater than that of Hong Kong.\n\nEvery Institute and University throughout the world, where botany is taught and studied, should possess a copy of this book.\n\nG.

There is a school Dentistry which is an outstanding feature of the University work, being excellently equipped and splendidly organised. There are two untrained men on the staff one is a coolie who earns eleven dollars per month. He is in the anatomy department and has a perfect genius for assembling bones together after proper treatment and building up the skeleton of the animal to which the bones belong. There is another lowly-paid man who is able to model heads and faces which illustrate the diseases of the jaw. There are dozens of examples of his work on the shelves in the dental school.\n\nThe department of Agriculture is building up a reputation for itself by improving the quality of the local fruit, by crossing it with foreign varieties. The breed of cattle too is being improved by the introduction of new strains.\n\nLast summer the University sent out a scientific expedition to the tribes of people to collect data and statistics with regard to diseases among them and their physical condition. The medical work is an important feature of the University. There are two modern hospitals, one for women and one for men in Chengtu, and a third administered by an American mission on an independent basis. The students have therefore splendid opportunities of becoming proficient in the science and art of medicine for the department is very much alive and most anxious to train students who will bring credit to the institution after they have gone into practice. Dr. H. Anderson said he was anxious to establish a liaison with Hong Kong University, so that his students could come to Hong Kong and do such medical work as was not possible in Chengtu owing to absence of equipment or facilities.\n\nA pleasing feature in this sphere of University work was the cooperation and the cordial relations which existed between the provincial University in the city and the Union University. Some of the foreign staff gave assistance in the matter of English. The provincial university was accommodated in Chinese buildings surrounding a series of courtyards. We were received by the Dean of the Faculty of Law which in every Chinese University forms the largest faculty. One recent report goes so far as to say that 36 per cent of the undergraduates are taking a law course, but the Education Year Book of 1932 gives the percentage as 18. The standard in this university was probably not high. There were 1800 students, a number that could hardly be provided by the Middle Schools available without lowering the standard of admission. An attractive feature about this University to me personally was the presence of three of my former students on the staff. Two were engaged in the departments of Education and English respectively, and the third was in charge of a large Middle School.\n\nThe general impression one gathers from a survey of the work that is going on in the Universities of China is the titanic effort that is being put forward to get into line with Western thought and the character of the intellectual conflict which lies behind the new movement. It would appear, at first sight, that the transition of thought from the study of man's behaviour, which has been the province of the Chinese philosopher, to that of nature would be easy and logical. This, however, is not necessarily true for the humane philosopher in China proceeds on the deductive principle to the establishment of certain doctrines which become fixed. The acceptance of the Confucian code was the result, after much trial and examination of many systems. It is evolved from the general body of thought in China, and conforms therefore to the wishes of the people. Having been accepted and established, it has moulded the thought of succeeding generations. Its principles cannot easily be eradicated, for the rigid discipline of its teaching has determined the manners, customs and behaviour of hundreds of generations. It has in the past won\n\n7.",

Any surplus of Government subsidy would be earmarked for capital expenditure on improvements.\n\nAfter discussing the above estimates in detail, Major Creagh suggested that a $1,000,000 company could assure Hongkong an excellent service, extending probably as far as Rangoon and Singapore, but he did not see that this was necessary yet. It would be better to experiment with smaller scheme and connect up with the French and Dutch. He was as British as anyone, but he did not want to be so inconveniently British he could not be International. International co-operation was the essence of peace and progress in this part of the world.\n\nOpportunity to Be First. \"From October next the French and Dutch will, between them, run a bi-weekly service to Europe, but, once the French get into Hongkong, our job becomes twice as difficult, because there will only be half the income for us to work on, and, if they do come here, they will not be satisfied to stop at Hongkong but will push on parallel with us in our extensions Northward and Southward. Now is our opportunity to act and show them our willingness, from the beginning, to co-operate and so prove to them that there is no necessity for them to come further east than the confines of their own Colonial Empire.\"\n\nMajor Creagh concluded by inviting the meeting to form itself into a body to foster commercial aviation in the Colony and to form a business organisation having for its object the definite inception of an air line as suggested in his address.\n\nAn interesting discussion followed.\n\nMr. A. Ritchie, invited by Major Creagh to state the views of the Far East Aviation Co. Ltd., of which he is a director, explained that the company has been working for nearly three years more or less on the lines suggested in the speech just delivered. Major Creagh was correct in assuming that the company had experience, qualified men and funds adequate to carry out investigations. At the moment they felt that their plans were not ripe to come before the public with proposals, but they were approaching the Hongkong Government, Imperial Airways and other bodies with a view to forming a Hongkong public company.\n\nCapt. W.E.F. Jones, who represents the aviation department of Messrs. Arnhold & Co., Ltd., mentioned that his company had gone so far as to file a scheme with the Hongkong Government. Air lines in China had often met with failure on account of the political insecurity of the country although, apart from that factor, the country was the most promising in the world from an aviation point of view.\n\nHe thought the time was very close when air lines must be operated from Hongkong, which he regarded as a base of considerable importance to the chain of Imperial Air Routes which would operate from England. Hongkong was probably the crux of eastern air lines because from here lines could radiate in several directions.\n\nA company so operating would look first of all to China, but in that country profit was still far off.\n\nThe question was \"whether it is possible to operate air lines, with Government assistance, over territory which is Chinese, from termini that are not in Chinese territory?\" Capt. Jones suggested that in his estimates Major Creagh had omitted a number of necessary items which would involve increased capital, but points like those could be considered and adjusted.\n\nAir Lines and Flying Club. Finally, Capt. Jones mentioned, with regard to the comprehensive proposals submitted by Messrs. Arnhold & Co., to the Hongkong Government for operating air lines radiating from Hongkong, and also for operating a Flying Club, that his figures were a little more encouraging than he could have hoped for, but he must still rely upon a Government subsidy.\n\nIn reply to Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce), Major Creagh said that China had not so far entered into agreements with other countries permitting them to fly over her territory.\n\nMr. Ritchie remarked that the subsidy offered by the Hongkong Government was totally inadequate. He suggested that Capt. Jones had formed the same opinion; but Capt. Jones said that, in his remarks, he had not said this.\n\nMr. Ritchie: \"We have satisfied ourselves clearly that it is so.\"\n\nMajor Creagh said that on learning there were two schemes already in the field he withdrew at any suggestion of promoting a third competing company, but he thought that since, before a line could be actually started, either of the two companies would have to go to the public for their capital, the meeting might usefully form itself into a body to speed things up by consulting with established companies and strengthening their appeal to Government by its wider interests.\n\nThe opinion was expressed in several quarters, however, that there would be no advantage in forming a special organisation for such a purpose since the Chamber of Commerce was in a position to judge impartially and already had the necessary strength and representation vis-a-vis the Government. The Chamber of Commerce would not, of course, take sides but it could and should support aviation generally.\n\nMotion Adopted.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. W.E.L. Shenton suggested that the meeting might well pass the following motion:\n\n\"That this meeting approves in principle the establishment of an air line between Hongkong and Hanoi.\"\n\nThis motion was carried unanimously on the proposition of the Hon. Mr. Shenton, seconded by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson.\n\nThe proceedings concluded with an expression of thanks to Major Brasier-Creagh for his interesting and instructive address and to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. Ltd., for the use of their board room for the meeting.\n\nThe meeting was attended by Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce); the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton and the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson (Members of the Legislative Council); Messrs A.L. Shields, P. S. Cassidy and G.

Perrin (Manager, Thomas Cook and Son); M. F. Key (Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce); Col. L. G. Bird, D.S.O.\n\nLetters of apology for absence on account of business or bad weather were received from the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall (Member of Council); Mr. F. J.

A hundred girls\n\nwere examined who were suspected to be!\n\nmui tsai, and they were taken from various\n\nparts of Singapore, and amongst these\n\n100 girls no definite case of cruelty was\n\nfound, though two girls were found to be\n\noverworked and neglected and were put\n\ninto the Po Leung Kuk, but event these\n\ntwo still wished, after their time in the\n\nPo Leung Kuk, to return to their employers.\n\nThe Protector of Chinese was satisfied\n\nthat all but six out of the 100 suspected\n\nmui tsai were happy and well-treated, and\n\nit was noteworthy that not one of the 100\n\nexpressed to the Protector her wish to\n\nleave her present employer.\n\nBut the existence of the mui tsai system\n\nis felt to be an anachronism in a British\n\ncolony in these modern days, and its con-\n\ntinuance is definitely contrary to the\n\npolicy of the Home Government, which\n\ndesires that the system should be banned\n\nof a hinterland of about 8,000 square\n\nmiles, consisting of the Settlement itself\n\nand large portions of Johore, Negri Sem-\n\nilan and Pahang.\n\nMalacca must be largely dependent on\n\nsea-borne trade, as-in spite of the condi-\n\ntion of its harbour-a considerable volume\n\n\"In theory the pei nui (maid servant\n\nof imports and exports continues to\n\nforce or slave girl) system has no existence\n\nits way in and out of its port, for the\n\nin China, where slavery, expressly for-\n\nsimple reason that it is far cheaper to\n\nbidden in the latter years of the Manchu\n\nship such commodities through Malacca\n\ndynasty, is now a punishable offence\n\nthan through any other Malayan port.

        "content_text": "## C. S. O. M.F. 237.\n\nThe Dominion of Canada cordially associates herself with the Crown Colony of Hong Kong by participating in the British Empire Fair which is opening to-day. It is gratifying to the Canadian Government, and particularly to myself, as Minister of Trade and Commerce, that Canada has been accorded such excellent facilities for thus displaying before the citizens of Hong Kong and South China samples of her natural products and manufactures, with a view to further extending inter-Imperial trade between these two sections of the British Commonwealth of Nations. It is particularly fitting that this Fair should open on May 24th, the anniversary of the \"Mother of the Empire\", the late Queen Victoria, and a day celebrated throughout the British Empire as indicative of its solidarity and its devotion to the Crown.\n\nThe Crown Colony of Hong Kong and the Dominion of Canada have much in common. It was in 1841, during the reign of Queen Victoria, that Hong Kong became a Crown Colony and began to flourish under the Union Jack. It was in the same year that Canada had its first democratic government. Direct steamship services between Canada and Hong Kong provide a means of greatly increasing the volume of trade between, and linking closer together, these at one time distant parts of the Empire. Their products and manufactures are to a large extent complementary, and it is to the advantage of both countries that this trade should be considerably increased. Hong Kong is at the spearhead of a large and practically unexploited trade territory which will, when the existing difficulties have passed, provide Hong Kong with a market for many of Canada's products and which in return may provide for many of Canada's wants.\n\nIt is natural that Hong Kong, due to its location and the unexcelled facilities offered by its harbour, should serve as a centre of distribution for Canadian products which will eventually be consumed in the Southern part of the Chinese Republic. It is our hope that the importers of Hong Kong will give the fullest consideration to the opportunities offered to them by Canadian producers.\n\nIt was with the object of promoting greater trade between Canada and this territory that the appointment of a Trade Commissioner was made in 1929. It is to the advantage of Hong Kong importers to prepare for the future. Canada can provide them with many of their requirements and since it is to their advantage to cultivate a trading partnership with that Dominion.\n\nI congratulate the Chairman and Committee on their efforts to make the Fair a success and feel sure that they will be fully justified by the results obtained.\n\n**N.Z's. BEST WISHES.**\n\nMr. Williamson read the following message from Mr. Masters, the Minister of Industries and Commerce in the New Zealand Government:- Please express best wishes of the New Zealand Government for the success of the Empire Fair and appreciation of the efforts of Government, committees, Hotel company and others to further Empire trade. Also express our thanks for the assistance rendered to New Zealand in this connection.\n\n**FROM AUSTRALIA.**\n\n**Prime Minister's Cable Of Appreciation.**\n\n\"EVERY SUCCESS.\"\n\nMr. J. A. Tonkin delivered the following message from the Minister of the Commonwealth Government of Australia:\n\nOn behalf of the Commonwealth Government, I wish the Empire Fair every success and hope it will mark the opening of many new avenues of inter-Empire trade. Appreciation is expressed to the Government of Hong Kong for the encouragement and assistance in launching the Fair, and to the Fair Committees, the Hotel Company, the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, and those organisations and associations whose activities have been responsible for this display of Empire products. Your Fair will be successful and beneficial to all British and Dominion participants.—Lyons, Prime Minister.\n\n## THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\n**Trade Commissioner From Home.**\n\n**WHAT OF TARIFFS?**\n\nFormally declaring the Fair open, H.E. the Governor said:- Mr. Paterson, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very pleased to have the privilege to-day of opening the second Empire Products Fair held in Hong Kong. As you know, the idea was started last year as the outcome of a letter addressed by Mrs. Amery, the wife of a former Secretary of State for the Colonies, to my wife, in which among other things she suggested an all-British food day.\n\nThe proposal to have an Empire Products Fair was taken up with great enthusiasm. My wife assisted in the preliminary stages, but to our regret we were unable to be here for the Fair itself. We were however greatly interested in the accounts which were sent to us. There was no doubt that it was a great triumph, and I take this opportunity of congratulating all those who helped to achieve that success.\n\nIt was indeed so successful that it was quite rightly decided that another Fair should be held this year, and there is no need for me to say that that decision has been amply justified, and that this year's Fair will greatly surpass that of last year.\n\nSuch Fairs have been instituted in many parts of the Empire. The British Industries Fair was started in a modest way in London soon after the War, and has grown to be of the greatest commercial value. Another Fair of the same kind has been held at Birmingham for the last fourteen years and yearly gains increasing popularity. Many of the colonies participate in that held in London, Fiji being one of the latest notable additions; and I hope that at no distant date Hong Kong will be able to participate, showing the people at home that this Colony is developing valuable industries of its own.\n\n**Local Industries.**\n\nIn a recent edition of a very interesting journal called \"The Crown Colonist\", I noticed in a map showing the various sources of Empire products that Hong Kong was marked \"Local industries and trans-shipment for China”. A few years ago the words \"local industries\" would probably not have been written, Hong Kong then being considered very little more than a mere transit port. Industries are now growing up in this Colony, one of the most notable perhaps of recent ventures being the brewing of beer! Only recently I was informed by the head of a well-known Hong Kong firm that they had a very large order from England for rubber-soled shoes manufactured here.\n\nThese Fairs are great factors in the commercial life of the Empire, and help to make us realise what a great Empire is capable of producing. It is wonderful how little many of us know of its great resources. I had an opportunity of visiting the Fair in London in 1928, and I must confess to great surprise at many of the things I saw there.\n\nThe British Empire has held a high position in trade, but owing perhaps to over-confidence has tended to sink in a slough of conservatism, in spite of considerable technical advances in industry. Where we really have to some extent failed is in actual trading.\n\nWe have been inclined to stand on a past reputation of the excellence of our goods, which has always been high, and have been extraordinarily unwilling to investigate changes in demand. Suppliers seem to hold the view that they should decide on what the consumer should take, ignoring the adage that he who pays the piper has the right to call the tune. This tendency, as far as the Far East is concerned, was recognised by the Economic Mission which visited the Far East over two years ago, and also by Mr. Beale, now Commercial Counsellor to our Peking Legation, who drew attention to it in a report which he wrote on trade in Malaya some years ago, when I first met him there. There is no doubt that many of our large suppliers have followed fortuitous methods, and have not appreciated the necessity of studying their markets. I think that I can truthfully say that great improvements have now been made in our methods. The quality of our goods has always been of a high standard and with a better realisation of the customers' needs, I feel that there is every prospect of a considerable increase in trade. If however suppliers wish to achieve a maximum of success I think that they should employ what I might term special Trade Commissioners of their own to carry out continuous investigation of the needs and desires of those whose custom they wish to retain and develop.\n\n**British Commissioner.**\n\nAt the same time I must say that I think that it is time that we had something in the nature of a British Trade Commissioner here to represent the Home Country and those parts of the Empire which are not at present represented, and I am in hopes that such an appointment may materialise in the not far distant future.\n\nMajor Duclos, the Canadian Trade Commissioner, has been with us for some time, and I congratulate him on the success which he has made of his appointment. I also would like to offer him our especial thanks for the very great assistance he has given both at last year's Fair and this Fair. He has indeed been a tower of strength to the organisers.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly message from the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of the Department of Trade and Commerce in Canada, which Major Duclos has just read. It is a message which indicates that true Empire spirit and desire for co-operation at the development of which we should all aim. I think there is a great deal to be done in fostering trade between Hong Kong and Canada, and I agree with Mr. Stevens that we have many interests in common. I passed through Canada on my way Home last year, but had very little time to study conditions there. I was impressed however in particular by three products which I thought could with advantage be exported on a larger scale to Hong Kong, namely motor-cars, fruit and beer. However with the establishment of a local brewery perhaps I had better not extol the value of Canadian liquor!\n\n**Advertising British Goods.**\n\nTrade between Australia and New Zealand and this Colony is growing, and I congratulate Mr. Williamson, who has acted as honorary agent for those Dominions, on this successful development. I also thank him for his valuable assistance in connexion with this Fair.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly messages from Australia and New Zealand which he and Mr. Tonkin have just conveyed to us. I take this opportunity of welcoming to Hong Kong Mr. Tonkin who has just arrived as the representative of the Commonwealth of Australia.\n\nIf the whole Empire will buy British goods, things will become easy and less effort be necessary.\n\n**Tariff Question.**\n\nOur great Empire must be nearly self-supporting, and certainly should be capable of being made so. In spite of the old tradition of free trade, we have been driven to some extent to tariffs, but there is a school, and a very powerful one, which is not satisfied that that is the proper line to follow. At all events I have no hesitation in saying that the imposition of tariffs must not be allowed to depreciate efficiency and economy in production. Fundamentally it is most important that we should learn to produce goods which can compete successfully with similar goods of other countries, and at an economic price to the consumer. Tariffs would be entirely bad if they were to militate against this.\n\nHong Kong, while undoubtedly growing industrially, is still mainly a transit port, and there is no doubt in my mind that tariffs would on the whole therefore probably do more harm than good. It would be fatal to impose tariffs to help one or two industries, if by surrendering the principle which we have followed for many years we for the sake of one or two industries were to ruin the main trade of the port.\n\nMoreover it must be remembered that this Colony is not, except to a small extent, a primary producer and that in regard to its industries it is largely dependent on imported material. In these circumstances I need hardly stress the danger and difficulty of tariffs.\n\nI have not yet had an opportunity of seeing the exhibits to-day, but from what I have learnt there is no doubt that this Fair affords considerable evidence of what can be obtained from Empire sources, and also what this Colony is capable of producing.\n\n**New Territories.**\n\nI am very glad that there is such a fine exhibit of produce from the New Territories, and I trust that substantial purchases will be made. One cannot but be struck by the great local industry and ability of the agriculturist in producing what he does. The Territories have long been noted for producing some of the finest rice in the world, and to-day they are able to produce many varieties of fruit and vegetables, but more requires to be done in the direction of proper marketing, and I should like to see the principles of co-operation developed in this respect. It has been proved that pineapples can be successfully grown, and I should like to see an up-to-date canning factory for this form of fruit developed in the Colony. To compete however with the canned products of other countries such as Hawaii and Malaya, improved methods must be introduced and new strains of pineapple imported.\n\nIn the matter of advertisement, too, we British have been behind other nations. Lulled perhaps by an excessive feeling of confidence and faith in our own products and achievements, we have tended to consider it unnecessary to advertise and push those products. In these days however it must be conceded that if we are to capture the markets, it is necessary to advertise our goods.\n\nIn opening this Fair to-day, I appeal for a greater support for British products, and in that term of course I include the products of this—a British Colony. The number unemployed at home and in other parts of the Empire is very large, due partly to economic depression and partly to the fact that new inventions often diminish the need for man-power. It is necessary therefore, in order to cope with this problem, to develop to the full the resources of the Empire. Team work is called for and we should realise that in supporting British industries we make a valuable contribution to the solution of a difficult Imperial problem. It is essential however that such industries should aim at efficiency and economy and not allow themselves to be lulled into a wrong sense of security under the impression that if the whole Empire buys British, they will be safe.\n\nThe industrial tendency is undoubtedly growing in this Colony, and in spite of the slump and the fact that some factories have had to close.\n\nIt would take too long to mention by name the many residents who have helped towards the organisation of the Fair, but I desire especially to thank the Directors of the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels for again allocating to the Fair such a large amount of space in the Peninsula Hotel. Mr. Taggart has helped in innumerable ways towards the successful organisation of the Fair, and the Hotel staff has co-operated in every possible way.\n\n**Prime Movers.**\n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson has ably presided over meetings, but on the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga and his sons, Mr. H. Braga and Mr. A. M. Braga, has fallen the brunt of the work of organisation of exhibits, to which they have given a great deal of their time for months past. In this they have been supported by Mr. Key as Honorary Secretary. The Military authorities have greatly assisted the Committee to keep down expenses by lending a considerable quantity of military equipment which has been used for the erection of stalls. In this connexion I would especially mention the help of Mrs. Borrett, Mrs. Kinnaird Watson, Mrs. Hoare and the numerous ladies who are working under their leadership. The organisers of the several sections—the list is again too long to permit of individual mention—deserve our thanks.\n\nThe necessity of building two large pavilions on the adjoining land has involved special electrical difficulties, in handling which the China Light and Power Co., Messrs. Callender's Cable and Construction Co. Ltd., and Messrs. Wm. C. Jack & Co., have most helpfully collaborated in a way that has placed the Committee under a great obligation. To-night you will see the attractive lighting effects which have been installed.\n\nThe Telephone Company has gone to considerable expense and trouble to install the Public Address System which greatly helps speakers in this large building and will doubtless be found useful to exhibitors for broadcasting announcements within the Exhibition area.\n\nSeveral firms and Public Companies—both British and Chinese—have given transport facilities and many more have distributed advertisements all over the Colony. All the English newspapers and several Chinese newspapers, have rendered essential assistance by placing their columns freely at the disposal of the Committee. I may perhaps conclude this incomplete resume by thanking the many exhibitors on whose combined support the Fair depends.\n\n**Canton Visitors Welcomed.**\n\nI extend a very hearty welcome to H.E. Mr. Lin Yun-koy and our other Canton friends, who have done us the honour of coming here to-day to attend this Fair. Their presence here affords further proof of the excellent relations which exist between Canton and this Colony. This Fair is primarily held on behalf of British products, but many of these, I am happy to say, are purchased by Canton. In some things there is a healthy trade rivalry between Canton and Hong Kong, but speaking generally our interests are closely interwoven, and the prosperity of the one is largely dependent on the prosperity of the other. It is a matter for congratulation therefore that the friendship between the two places is so happily maintained.\n\nI have much pleasure in declaring the Fair open and in wishing it great success.\n\n## C. S. O. M.F. 237.\n\n### SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST. THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1933.\n\n**OFFICIAL OPENING.**\n\n**'GOVERNOR'S PLEA FOR GREATER EMPIRE CO-OPERATION.**\n\n**WELCOME TO OFFICIAL GUESTS.**\n\nWith full ceremonial, the Empire Fair was officially opened by the Governor, Sir William Peel at noon.\n\nThe Governor and Lady Peel were welcomed at the main entrance of the Hotel by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson, Chairman of the Committee, who escorted them through a guard of honour comprising Boy Scouts and Girl Guides to the first floor.\n\nHis Excellency entered with Mr. Paterson, while Lady Peel was accompanied by the Vice-chairman of the Fair Committee (Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga). Then came Mr. S. T. Williamson (honorary agent for the Australian and New Zealand Governments), Major Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner), the Hon. Dr. Kotewall, Mr. M. F. Key (Secretary of the Fair Committee) and Capt. Walter, A. D. C. to the Governor.\n\nThe Chairman was supported on the dais, on the right, by H.E. the Governor, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government (Mr. Liu Yun-koy), H.B.M. Acting Consul-General (Mr. E. G. Jamieson, C.B.E.), Mr. J. A. Tonkin (representing the Department of Commerce of the Australian Commonwealth Government), Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga (Vice-Chairman and principal organiser of the Fair Committee). On the left were Lady Peel, the Mayor of Canton (Mr. Liu Chi-wen) and Mrs. Liu Chi-wen, Major V. E. Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong), Mr. S. T. Williamson (Hon. Agent for New Zealand) Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G. (Vice-Chairman).\n\nOthers present included the General Officer Commanding, Major-General O. C. Borrett, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., C.B.E., and Mrs. Borrett, H. H. the Chief Justice and Mrs. J. R. Wood, representatives of the Consular Body, officials from Canton, the Commodore and Mrs. Marrack, members of the Executive Council, Government officials, members of the General Committee of the Fair, and exhibitors.\n\nA tableau, representing Britannia was staged behind the dais.\n\nWhen we found, however, that we were going to put up a show four or five times as large as before, covering an area of over an acre, we felt that we need not be quite so modest. Seeing that the Empire goods shown to-day are all intended for the great market of South China, we invited the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, Mr. Lin Yun-Koy; the Mayor of Canton, Mr. Liu Chi-Wen and Mrs. Liu Chi-Wen; the Inspector-General for Foreign Affairs for Kwantung, Kwangsi, etc., Mr. Kan Chieh-Hou and Mrs. Kan Chieh-Hou; the Commissioner of Public Safety, General Ho Lok; the Counsellor to the 1st Group Army Headquarters, Colonel C. W. Leung, the Municipal Counsellor and Secretary to the Mayor, Dr. Wu Paak-Shing and Mrs. Wu Paak-Shing; the Secretary to the Chairman of the Kwantung Government, Mr. Chow Hok-Tong and the Secretary to the Commissioner of Public Safety, Mr. W. S. Lun, to accept our hospitality and be present here to-day.\n\nTherefore it is my privilege this morning, in the first place, to welcome His Excellency the Governor, who has taken the greatest interest in this project and who kindly promised some months ago to perform the Opening Ceremony. Secondly, as this is, I think, the first large gathering which Lady Peel has attended since her recent illness, I am sure you would wish me to express on your behalf our congratulations on her recovery and our pleasure that she is here to grace the occasion.\n\n**Canton Guests.**\n\nNext I wish to thank, in the name of the General Committee of the Empire Fair, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong.\n\n**Mr. Paterson's Welcome.**\n\nAddressing the gathering, the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson said:- Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: The first Empire Fair in Hong Kong, held a year ago, though it called for a great deal of work from organisers, was smaller than the Fair we present to you to-day. We made the Opening Ceremony a local affair. I believe His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton was the only visitor from the outside world.\n\nThe Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong. As the Fair has so greatly outgrown the space which the Hotel Company has so generously placed at our disposal, I have to express my regret that it is impossible to provide seats for all who are present. The best amends I can make is to be brief. Let me therefore extend a cordial welcome to His Majesty's Acting Consul-General at Canton, Mr. Jamieson and to our local guests. In particular I wish to take this opportunity of expressing, in all sincerity, grateful thanks to the hundreds of workers and exhibitors for their support. I want also to thank Mr. Taggart and the Directors of the Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd., for their invaluable assistance, the general public for their attendance and to express the hope that \"dividend warrants will soon be ready\" in the shape of a large increase of British trade as the result of this Fair.\n\nI will now call upon Major V.

A further discussion ensued and finally \nMr. Cheng Pai To'u stated that he fully appreciated the concessions \nwith which the British side were prepared to \nfavour the Chinese side in which the Canton railway \nline was being \nconsidered. As the basis proposed was, however, still too far removed \nfrom his instructions, he was prepared to suggest to the Ministry of \nCommunications that a division should be \non the basis of 27.5% British \nand 72.5% Chinese.\n\nThen the British delegates intimated that they had already made \ntheir proposals unanimously. They added, however, that in addition to \nthis it might be possible, if the down traffic amounting from Canton \nat any time amounted to up traffic amounting from Hongkong, that the \nreceipts obtained from the balance of that traffic could be divided in \nthe ratio of 20% British and 80% Chinese. This would be in respect of \npassenger and freight parcels sent. The idea was that if the Chinese \nsection of the railway could sufficiently stimulate the passage of goods \nfrom Canton to Hongkong by railway, they should receive an extra benefit \ntherefrom. This was a concession to the Chinese section only. It was \nnot contemplated that if the traffic emanating from Hongkong exceeded \nthat emanating from Canton, the Chinese section would receive any benefit \nmore favourable than the 30% British and 70% Chinese ratio in respect \nof the balance. Further, the British delegates may have intimated that it \nwould be possible to arrange for through carriage of freight to or from places \non other Chinese railways beyond Canton, but traffic might be separately",

        "content_text": "# THE SLAVE MARKET NEWS\n\n## Editorial Offices-Arcst Orchards, Sidmouth, England.\n\nTHE SLAVE MARKET NEWS.\n\nentitled \"Hong Kong Papers Relating to the Mui Tsai Question, Cmd. 8424.\" This can be obtained at the price of 1s. 8d. through any bookseller. It contains 77 papers of official information concerning the subject of slavery in Hong Kong,\n\n## WHAT WE THINK.\n\nLAN AE MOT (AGE 8 YEARS) SOLD IN HONG KONG FOR 380 DOLLARS.\n\n## THE COLONIAL OFFICE REPLY.\n\nA Member of Parliament has sent to us a letter which he has received from the Colonial Office concerning our last issue on the subject of Slavery in Hong Kong.\n\nWe feel it is due to our readers to publish the vital extracts of this communication sent by the Colonial Office, and to add such observations as we feel are warranted by the official information published in the White Paper, Cmd. 8424.\n\nThe reply to the Member referred to, contains the following sentences: \"The statement that slavery exists in Hong Kong is, of course, not true, and many of the other statements printed give a quite misleading impression of what the situation is and what effort has been, and is being made to improve conditions. It is impossible categorically to deny all the unfounded allegations made in this and similar irresponsible publications; but in correction of the regrettable statements made in the editorial as to the fate of the Mui Tsai in Hong Kong, I am to suggest a reference to the Report of the League of Nations Commission of Enquiry into Traffic in Women and Children in the East.\"\n\n## WHAT ABOUT THE WHITE PAPER?\n\nIt would appear that the Colonial Office forget that there has been published by H.M. Stationery Office a publication entitled \"Hong Kong Papers Relating to the Mui Tsai Question, Cmd. 8424.\" This contains communications from different Colonial Secretaries, reports of the Hong Kong Government Officials, and the record of the debate of the Hong Kong Legislative Council of December 28th, 1922.\n\nWe venture to think that any person interested in the subject who reads through the White Paper will come to the conclusion that the statement that slavery exists in Hong Kong was certainly true during the years 1922 and 1923, and that the onus of proof that slavery is now non-existent in this Crown Colony is upon the Colonial Office.\n\nWe have, from time to time, published the records of Police Court proceedings in Hong Kong, and in the current issue, we publish further extracts and reports from \"The South China Morning Post,\" which indicate that the Mui Tsai system still flourishes in Hong Kong, and is the very essence of slavery.\n\n## LORD PASSFIELD'S DESPATCH.\n\nIn the concluding despatch by Lord Passfield on August 22nd, 1929, addressed to the Governor of Hong Kong, he stated \"Whilst feeling bound by the traditional policy of this country, to regard any institution that savours of slavery, to take steps for the abolition of the Mui Tsai system, notwithstanding any opposition in the Colony, I need hardly remind you of the desirability of enlisting as far as possible Chinese opinion in favour of the change.\"\n\nIn the statement made by the Colonial Office in reply to a Member of Parliament, it is said \"It is impossible categorically to deny all the unfounded allegations made in this (i.e., The Slave Market News) and similar irresponsible publications.\" It would be enlightening if the Colonial Office could state quite clearly what are the \"unfounded allegations made in this Journal.\" We shall be pleased to deal with them on receiving information giving chapter and verse. We should also like to ask what is the precise meaning of the term \"irresponsible publication.\" To our knowledge, there is no other Anti-Slavery newspaper in existence. The Anti-Slavery Society publishes their most excellent Report of Anti-Slavery achievements every quarter. It is pertinent to ask what are the names of the \"irresponsible publications\" that are so tactfully referred to by the Colonial Office.\n\nThe Colonial Office also makes reference to \"the regrettable statements made in this editorial concerning the fate of the Mui Tsai in Hong Kong.\" We deal with the Report of the League of Nations Commission in another column, and would remind our readers that the decision of the Hong Kong Government made in December, 1931, to close the tolerated brothels in the Colony, was only made possible by the self-sacrificing efforts of public-minded women, who have urged its abolition for many years past.\n\n## JAN. 1934.\n\n## BROTHELS IN HONG KONG.\n\nMrs. G. H. Forster states in \"The Shield\" (November, 1933), concerning Hong Kong under Regulation, that \"Some 400 registered houses were kept constantly supplied with girls.\" We leave it to our readers to form their own opinions as to where these girls were obtained, and whether Hong Kong is an exception to the general rule, that where girls are liable to be bartered, they form the most ready recruits for these houses.\n\nWe understand that the Government has undertaken to abolish the tolerated brothels within three years from 1931.\n\nThe Colonial Office also states that \"The Government has abolished the servile status of Mui Tsai, and has prohibited the acquisition or introduction into the Colony of Mui Tsai.\" It is significant to note that apparently for the first time, the Colonial Office have now admitted that the status of Mui Tsai was a **SERVILE STATUS**, which in other words is slavery. We hope that note will be made of the ages of girls who in 1933 were produced in police court cases.\n\nA perusal of the Police Court proceedings should serve to show that the status is still \"servile\" and that it is quite a common thing for a nominal fine to be inflicted on the owner of a Mui Tsai, who is handed back again, in many cases, to the person who has made a money payment for the child. What, however, seems to us to be a most perturbing state of affairs, is that although the Colonial Office stated that the Government has prohibited the acquisition or introduction of Mui Tsai into the Colony, the system is still carried on.\n\n## WANTED AN ARMY OF INSPECTORS.\n\nWe should like to remind the Colonial Office and our readers of a Despatch from the Governor of Hong Kong to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, June 20th, 1922. In this, the Governor stated \"The daily ebb and flow of population across the frontiers of Hong Kong, both by land and water, estimated at between five and six thousand each way, and the constant movement of the population within the Colony, both to and from the island and the mainland, present difficulties which can hardly be exaggerated. An army of inspectors with the widest power of entry and search would be required to enforce registration and heavy expenditure would be incurred to little or no purpose.\" We are informed, however, by the Colonial Office that three inspectors have been appointed, and that these inspectors, \"two of whom are ladies, have shown that in general Mui Tsai are contented and well-treated by their employers.\" Thus three inspectors are now declared to be sufficient for the work which the Governor himself stated in 1922 would require an army of inspectors, with the widest power of entry and search.\n\nHere we have two irreconcilable official statements striking at the very root of the Mui Tsai system.\n\nHundreds of girls cannot even be traced, as shown in correspondence on our front page.\n\nIt is for our readers to decide who makes \"irresponsible statements.\"\n\nContinued on Page 7\n\n## JAN. 1934.\n\n## THE SLAVE MARKET NEWS.\n\n## Servitude of Little Children in Ceylon.\n\nWith the consent of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, there has been issued by the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, correspondence with the Government upon the \"adoption\" custom of Ceylon, which persons in responsible positions in that Colony have declared to be one of slavery, because the \"adopted child\" is often sold and sold over again.\n\nIt is now proposed to issue an Ordinance, under which these children shall be registered, and provision is made for inspection of the \"adopted\" children in public institutions, also some limits are proposed to the hours of labour.\n\nThe Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society has pointed out to Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister that this Ordinance makes no provision for the inspection of the conditions of \"adopted\" children generally, that under this Ordinance \"adopted\" children of seven years can be made to work without any limitation of their hours of labour during the week, and that even on Sundays, they may be made to work four hours.\n\nIn view of the nature of this Ordinance, and of the fact that the system leads to considerable cruelty, the Society appeals to Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister to secure substantial amendments to the Ordinance, pending abolition of the system.\n\n## CHILD PROTECTION IN CEYLON.\n\nThe fourth Annual Report of the Child Protection Society shows that cases of cruelty to children, neglect, and the abuses which arise from the so-called \"adoption\" for domestic service, still continue, in spite of the efforts of the Society. The report tells us that the work is progressing, but only slowly, and such progress has been in the direction of arousing healthy public opinion, towards which the attitude taken by magistrates, in condemning cases of cruelty, has assisted.\n\nUnfortunately, the membership of the Society has decreased, and according to the report of Mr. Valentine Perera, which is annexed to that of the Society, Child Protection will always remain an unsolved problem until a Children's Ordinance, of which a draft has been prepared and a copy sent to our Society, has become law, and Juvenile Courts have been established. The Ordinance, which is a simple one, has been carefully drafted and is being \"considered, reconsidered, altered and amended.\" It deals with the questions of adoption, employment, cruelty, orphanages and voluntary homes, juvenile offenders, certified schools, etc.\n\nWhile the number of cases of cruelty has hardly at all diminished, we are informed that the degree of cruelty appears to be declining. The number of social workers has increased, but more are required.\n\nMr. Perera deals with the aspect of cruelty cases. These still await effective reform, as do the cases in which boys are charged in police courts for minor offences, which are always punished by a caning inflicted in open court, after which no further trouble is taken with the offender. Mr. Perera dwells on the point and asks, \"What hope is there for child protection under such conditions?\" Children must, he maintains, be protected from birth until they reach at least the age of eighteen years.\n\nUntil orphanages, reformatories, children's homes, and certified schools are established, \"there can be no salvation for the childhood of this country.\"\n\nThe following letter has been addressed to the Colonial Office on behalf of the Society:\n\n6th November, 1933.\n\nThe Rt. Hon. Sir PHILIP CUNLIFFE-LISTER.\n\nOur Committee has had under consideration the system known as Adoption in Ceylon, and the draft Ordinance for dealing with this system.\n\nThe main purpose of the Ceylon system of Adoption is not benevolence, but is \"in nearly every case the payment of a lump sum of money for children\" for free domestic service.\n\nThe Mayor of Colombo, in 1929, in a public speech, referred to the system as one amounting to slavery. An Editorial in a Ceylon newspaper said \"the whole system is cruel and the practice amounts to nothing less than slavery.\" The same Editorial emphasized that these adopted children are treated as mere chattels by unscrupulous employers and are bought and sold and sold over again. The Editor-in-Chief of the Times of Ceylon, writing in the British Times of 24th February, 1930, said of adoption \"There is unquestionably what amounts to slavery of a terrible type.\"\n\nIt is quite clear that the conditions of this servitude do in fact violate the terms of the Anti-Slavery Convention of 1926. (See Lord Cecil's explanation of Article 2 of the Slavery Convention- League White Paper A, 104, 1926, VI)\n\nOur purpose, however, in approaching you is not that of indicting evil, but to solicit your sympathetic support for further amendments to the proposed Ordinance.\n\nWhile glad to note that the Ordinance proposes for a registration of all adopted children, we do not observe any provision for inspection other than that in Public Homes and Institutions. We therefore beg leave to urge that periodic inspection should be provided for either in the Ordinance or by some other administrative measure. We hold with the Child Protection Society (Ceylon) that \"After all, registration and inspection are a small return to make for free domestic service.\"\n\nWe have noted with concern that not only is the age limit at which adopted juveniles can be made to work seven years, but the Ordinance places no limit to the hours which such juveniles can be made to work, beyond the provision that they shall not on Sunday exceed four hours.\n\nIt is true that a Local Authority may make bye-laws limiting the hours of labour.\n\nWe cannot believe that His Majesty's Government will allow an Ordinance with these defects to be passed into law in the Colony of Ceylon without very considerable amendment.\n\nThere is incontrovertible evidence that the system leads to considerable cruelty, the direct result of this system of securing children by purchase for free labour.\n\nWe hope that the period of the continued existence of this system will be a short one, but that pending its early abolition, provision will be made for registration, inspection, the limiting of the hours of labour, and a raising of the age at which children can be made to labour.\n\nWe have, etc.,\n\nTRAFERS BUXTON, Hon Secretary\nJOHN HARRIS, Parliamentary Secretary.\n\n*See Quarterly Bulletin of the Child Protection Society of Ceylon, Vol 2, No 1, 1933, p2.\n\n## REPLY\n\nDowning Street,\n23rd November, 1933.\n\nI am directed by Secretary Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th November, 1933, on the subject of the custom of child adoption as practised in Ceylon.\n\nSir Philip Cunliffe-Lister has no reason to doubt that the Government of Ceylon is aware of the objections to the conditions under which children may be employed in that Island as domestic servants, and he has ascertained that the Executive Committee for Home Affairs of the Ceylon State Council has appointed a Sub-committee to go into the whole question of the employment of women and children and the system of adoption. It will be for the Executive Committee in the first instance to consider what action it is desirable to take on the Sub-committee's report when it is received.\n\nA copy of your letter will be sent to the Officer Administering the Government of Ceylon for his information, and for communication to the Executive Committee.\n\nI am, Sir,\nYour obedient servant,\n(Signed) H. R. COWELL.\n\n*From \"The Reporter\" of The Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society.\n\n## MEETING ON SLAVERY.\n\nAmong the more notable meetings being organized in celebration of the Centenary of Britain's decision to abolish Slavery, a Special Meeting to be held in Brighton on Friday evening, February 16th. The Dome has been secured for the purpose, and Sir John Simon has consented to address this gathering. Arrangements are being made to secure the co-operation of all the principal towns throughout the County. Further particulars will be published in due course. The demonstration is being organized jointly by the League of Nations Union and the Anti-Slavery Society.\n\n## THE SLAVE.\n\nOnce in this life his soul found joy\nToo deep for words to tell,\n\"He dwelt among his own people,\"\nAnd so far all was well!\nUntil the hand of cruel fate\nAt one fell stroke filled life with hate!\nAh no,\nNot hatred of his own.\nThey were his pride and care.\nBut of the foe that drove him forth\nIn misery and despair!\nA slave, a chattel on God's earth.\n'Twere better he had ne'er known birth!\nHome, wife, and children, he must leave,\nMay be see them no more,\nIn bitter bondage his days pass\nUpon a foreign shore!\nDespised, ill-used, and even slain\nBy traders in his flesh-for gain!\nShorn of all rights which manhood gives,\nTo live and be his best,\nThe charter of his freedom, too,\nDenied by Christ confessed.\nNo matter what his colour be,\nA child of God, no less is he.\nBy earth, by man, cast out and spurned,\nA helpless creature, he,\nBy \"might\" not \"right,\" enslaved and chained,\nWill none now set him free?\nLet such destroy the English mart,\nLest still in man, the Christ-wounds smart,\nMillions who once breathed freedom's air,\nWere raided, bought and sold,\nAnd died not in a noble cause.\nWhose wrongs were manifold!\nLet not the hour now strike in vain,\nThe slave's birthright give back again!\n\nTHE REV.

Now while the above truly applies to the British Empire as a whole and while the portion relating to Colonies is indeed consonant with the conditions obtaining in practically all the Colonies of the Empire, it does not in particular apply to Hong Kong. It is not Hong Kong's main function to export produce, and with 25% of the working population engaged in industry its manufactures cannot be said to be negligible. For the rest, Hong Kong has practically no raw materials or agricultural production for export, and its main activities are devoted to importing and exporting goods originating from outside its borders; and the shipping, financial, professional, and technical services relating to that commerce. Hong Kong’s position in the British Empire may therefore be regarded as unique. Inasmuch as it is unique we are unanimously of the opinion that in all matters of Imperial Policy the Colony should be given careful individual consideration. Inasmuch as it is by necessity, and for the general welfare of the trade of the Empire passing through its portals, a Free Trade entrepot, and can therefore afford but little Empire Preference, we consider that the rest of the Empire should whenever at all possible accord it such treatment as will enable it to prosper and continue to afford its splendid facilities at the cheapest possible rate.\n\n10. That there is a tendency not to accord Hong Kong such treatment has been brought before us in evidence relating to specific industries. There has for instance recently been a strong endeavour on the part of certain portions of the Empire for the imposition of restrictions on the Empire marketing of rubber shoes, the Empire content of which is high and could be higher if so desired. We have heard that rope manufactured in the Colony by a Company which commenced operation in the last century has been virtually excluded from one Empire market, fundamentally because it can sell its goods at a cheaper (but profit-bearing) cost than that of goods emanating from other parts of the Empire. It is not gainsaid that good reasons may be produced to justify such action but when we take it that the broad line of policy is Imperial co-operation we feel that in respect of her services to Empire Trade and the small measure of preference she is able to afford to other parts of the Empire, some latitude should be allowed Hong Kong, especially during this time of great depression. It is plain to us that, if the reasonable prosperity of the Colony cannot be maintained, the burden of taxation must become heavier, with a resultant increase in the charges on the trade of the port. We believe that the Empire will gain more by the maintenance of Hong Kong as one of the cheapest ports in the world than by adopting a policy calculated to suppress a reasonable development of her small industries.\n\n11. At the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa in 1932 were present delegates representing Canada, The United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, The Irish Free State, India, The Union of South Africa, Newfoundland and Southern Rhodesia. In the United Kingdom delegation was included the Secretary of State for the Colonies and a Colonial Officer Adviser.\n\n12. In the course of his initial speech at the Conference Mr. Stanley Baldwin said:\n\n\"What then should be the first aim of this Conference? It should be to clear out the channels of trade among ourselves. For that purpose we need not measure too closely or too exactly the relative value of preferences given and received. We all approach the problem with a view to seeing how much each can contribute to the common stock without detriment to our own national interests, we shall not need to concern ourselves with the relative advantages obtained by each, since we shall know that an increase in the purchasing power of any members of the Empire must show itself in the increased Imperial trade, and the prosperity of each will add to the prosperity of all.\"\n\n\"The present universal depression makes the extension and improvement of Imperial trade a matter of urgent importance to all parts of the Empire.\n\nPage 35\n\n \n\nPage 35\n\nPage 35",

At the Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa in 1932 were present delegates representing Canada, The United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, The Irish Free State, India, The Union of South Africa, Newfoundland and Southern Rhodesia. In the United Kingdom delegation was included the Secretary of State for the Colonies and a Colonial Officer Adviser.\n\n12. In the course of his initial speech at the Conference Mr. Stanley Baldwin said:\n\n\"What then should be the first aim of this Conference? It should be to clear out the channels of trade among ourselves. For that purpose we need not measure too closely or too exactly the relative value of preferences given and received. If we all approach the problem with a view to seeing how much each can contribute to the common stock without detriment to our own national interests, we shall not need to concern ourselves with the relative advantages obtained by each, since we shall know that an increase in the purchasing power of any members of the Empire must show itself in the increased Imperial trade, and the prosperity of each will add to the prosperity of all\".\n\n\"The present universal depression makes the extension and improvement of Imperial trade a matter of urgent importance to all parts of the Empire.

Merchants in Hong Kong were depressed about the future. It seemed to him that the best ultimate solution of the difficulties of Hong Kong was to bring it into a Customs union with China, this would, of course, be possible only if the Chinese Government could extend their sovereignty over south western China more effectively than at present. Arrangements would have to be made for a suitable allocation of revenue from the Customs to Hong Kong and for facilities for a free port at Hong Kong. One of the Chinese Ministers (Mr. Sun-Fo) had suggested an arrangement of this kind but Sir F. Leith-Ross had not pursued the question as it obviously involved political issues which required in the first instance to be considered by His Majesty's Government. He had, however, discussed it with the Governor of Hong Kong who thought that it would be very advantageous to Hong Kong but did not understand why the Chinese Government should agree to it as it would give Hong Kong the benefit not only of the Chinese tariff, but also of membership of the British Empire. It was agreed that the Colonial Office should examine the question.\n\nThe Chinese Government had in hand a scheme for the development of a railway running from the province of Szechuan to Yunnan which would be linked with the railway from Canton and Hankow, and they aimed thereafter at extending the line from Yunnan to Burma. They were anxious to interest His Majesty's Government in this project with a view to linking up the Chinese railway system with Mandalay or Calcutta. Under this scheme the length of railway line in British territory would be comparatively small and though the country was undoubtedly difficult it was alleged to be \n\n-2-",

I did not pursue the question, as it obviously involves important political issues, but it appears to me well worthy of exploration.\n\nWhether this is possible or not, every effort should be made, now that the Chinese Government has re-established its authority over Kwangtung, to secure better relations between Hong Kong and the Chinese authorities on the mainland, who are, I believe, anxious to establish closer co-operation with the Colony.\n\n### 9\n\n(13) Another question, raising political issues of a different kind, is the question of linking up the Indian and Burmese Railways with China by the construction of a new line from the present terminus in Burmah to Yunnan Fu. The Chinese Minister of Railways has a scheme on hand for building a line to Yunnan Fu from Kweiyang, with a link to the Canton-Hankow Railway, and expressed the desire to interest His Majesty's Government in the extension of this line to Burmah. It would obviously open an important new trade route to China overland and I submit it for investigation by the Departments concerned.\n\nTo sum up, my suggestions are that:\n\n(1) Every suitable opportunity should be taken, especially in Ministerial statements, to emphasise our continued interest in China and our intention to maintain our position there.\n\n(2) The Japanese Government should be told in a friendly but firm manner that the prospect of better relations with the United Kingdom depends on their respecting our interests in China, which are threatened by their present policy of disruption and particularly by the smuggling in East Hopei.\n\n-16-",

The cost of this will depend on the number and size of the plants and cannot be here estimated; it will, of course, fall entirely on the local authority. \n\nSuch examination as we have given to the boiling of milk leaves me strongly impressed with its superiority over pasteurisation, in safety, simplicity, and economy, as a treatment for milk not of assured purity. The comparatively trivial disadvantages of its effects on the cream-line and on the taste of milk are a slender foundation for all the elaboration and expense of maintaining the laboratory standard (paragraph 163) necessary in commercial pasteurisation. Domestic boiling, no doubt, would be too often omitted or over-done; but if there is any convincing reason why, for the milk supply of the generality of the urban population, a wholesale boiling process immediately followed by cooling and bottling cannot be adopted, it has escaped me. \n\n## 16 \n\n**(Signed)** C.

If they are not in possession of the Diploma of Veterinary State Medicine (D.V.S.M.), it might be arranged that they should undergo a refresher course at a veterinary college or, alternatively, at the laboratories proposed in the report (see paragraph 214 of report, and recommendation (15) in the summary of recommendations). Furthermore, as a good many existing veterinary practitioners have sons who are taking up a veterinary career, and following in their fathers' footsteps, preference might be extended to these young men on the understanding that they should obtain the D.V.S.M., a dual partnership of state and private practice thereby being established. It has to be remembered that the older practitioners are the more experienced in the control of animal diseases and in the necessary advice to farmers. \n\n**(Signed)** JOHN MOORE. \n\n## 109 \n\n## APPENDIX 1. \n\n## Evidence received. \n\n**(a) List of witnesses who gave oral evidence.** \n\n| Witness | Description of witness | Accompanied by- |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Mr. J.

To any one familiar with the difficulties encountered in establishing and maintaining pioneer schools in the closing years of the last century, the creation of a network of fine modern universities and research institutes on the present scale must indeed seem phenomenal.\n\nAmong outstanding contributions to this progress made by Great Britain in recent years may be mentioned the return of the Boxer Indemnity Funds, announced in 1922 and formally concluded by agreement in 1931. By the terms of this agreement, the income derived from these funds is devoted to educational and cultural purposes.\n\nSuch substantial aid not only contributes to the financing and equipment of laboratories and research institutions, to the building and upkeep of libraries and museums and the preservation of cultural antiquities. The funds have also made possible the granting of special scholarships and the sending of Chinese students to Great Britain annually.\n\nIn this connection there are considerable possibilities afforded by the University of Hong Kong, and it is to be hoped that the Colonial Office will realise the importance of the University as a point of union between the Universities of China and the Universities of Great Britain.\n\nIn the political and diplomatic field it is pleasant to be able to record that the relations between the two countries are now in a happier state than they have been for many years past.\n\nA heritage of former days which it has been necessary to dispel has been the suspicion held by successive Chinese Governments of Imperialistic motives on the part of European Powers. It has always been the desire of the British Government that such suspicions should be removed, and a notable step forward was accomplished by the British memorandum which was communicated by the Chargé d'Affaires in Peiping on Dec. 8, 1926, to the representatives of the Washington Treaty Powers.\n\nThis memorandum while referring to the political disturbances of the time, nevertheless called upon the other signatories of the Washington Treaties to abstain from interference in Chinese internal affairs and to accord the rising Nationalist movement the respect and sympathy which it merited.\n\nSubsequently, Great Britain emphasised her good faith by a series of gestures of goodwill, which included the relinquishment of the British Colony of Wei-Hai-Wei, the abandonment of various Treaty Port privileges and the rendition of the Hankow Concession.\n\nWhile Britain was pursuing this policy China was being moulded into a unified State under the Central Government.\n\n27.6.38\n\n221",

Thereafter restrictions on return were somewhat relaxed and sixty-three (mainly Iraqians) were sent back on the Lloyd Triestino s.s. \"Conte Rosso\" on 22nd November. In all cases where passages had to be provided for the refugees a promise to repay the cost thereof was obtained. (Appendix 7).\n\n58. Towards the end of November further telegraphic correspondence took place with H.M.'s Consul-General in Shanghai on the subject of the return of the Refugees, and authority was given to repatriate those who had accommodation available in the International Settlement south of the Soochow Creek or in the French Concession.\n\n59. The Consul-General also asked on 30th November that a list of the refugees still maintained in the Centres should be forwarded for the guidance of the British Fund for relief in China and that notification should be made to him when destitute refugees were returning to Shanghai. Such a list was prepared and forwarded to Shanghai and in all subsequent repatriations those who might require some help on arrival in Shanghai were reported by telegram and referred to by their number on this list.\n\n1\n\n60. Twenty-eight were sent back by the Messageries Maritimes s.s. \"Athos II\" on 12th December and 148 left by the s.s. \"Conte Verde\" and \"D'Artagnan\" on 25th and 26th December. The remainder who had been detained on account of illness left by the s.s. \"Conte Biancamano\" on 9th January. The Lai Chi Kok Centre was closed on 26th December, 1937, and the old Central British School after the last refugees left on 15th January, 1938.\n\n61. It will be seen that the process of returning the refugees to Shanghai was somewhat protracted. Though numbers were diminishing almost daily the cost of maintaining the Centres was not proportionately reduced. Overhead charges remained much the same whether there were 300 or 200 resident in the Centre. Every effort was made to curtail expenses, staff was reduced and salaries lowered.\n\n(D) School for Refugee Children.\n\n62. Considerable anxiety was felt for the welfare of the many children who had come to Hong Kong from Shanghai at the loss of all educational facilities at a formative period of their lives. A few were enrolled in Hong Kong schools but naturally there was no room for the majority.\n\n63. During the month of September therefore Mr. Pardoe, a member of the staff of the Lester Technical Institute, Shanghai, was asked to organize a school for children resident in Kowloon. He approached several of the lady teachers of the Shanghai Municipal Council who willingly co-operated with him. The School was opened on 22nd September on the premises of the Union Church, Jordan Road, kindly lent by the Rev. Mr. J. D. MacLean and classes were held in the morning for the children from Lai Chi Kok Centre and in the afternoon for children living in private premises. At the same time a kindergarten class was opened at Lai Chi Kok for those who were too young to travel by bus - this class was equipped by the Ladies Welfare Committee.\n\n64. The premises at the Union Church were however inadequate and after about two weeks the school moved to the old Kowloon Magistracy Building. It was then possible to accommodate both groups of scholars at the same time. There were then about 200 pupils in attendance but by the end of October, when on the return of the lady teachers to Shanghai the school was temporarily closed, the numbers had fallen to between 160 and 170. The ages of the pupils ranged from six to eighteen and were divided into seven classes, the top form being composed of children who hoped to sit for their Cambridge Matriculation Examination in December.\n\n65. A fee of $3 was charged for the first child in each family and $1 for every additional child, to cover the cost of stationery, school supplies, servants' wages, etc. The children from Lai Chi Kok, however, paid no fees. Very little had to be spent on text-books as these were kindly lent by the Headmistress of the Diocesan Girls' School and by Mother Ida of the Italian Convent. A very fine piece of work was done by Miss G. W. Meech, who was in charge after Mr. Pardoe left, and her fellow teachers of the Shanghai Municipal Council Schools.\n\n66. Mrs. M. J. Lambert kindly undertook to carry on the school and after a short break classes were resumed on 8th November. As it seemed imperative that the children should not remain unoccupied I authorized the engagement on the very small salaries of $75 a month, which were only meant to cover out of pocket expenses, of five teachers - Mrs. Smith, B.A., Mrs. Warr, Mrs. Vicary, Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Mitchell. There were then 73 pupils on the roll at the old Kowloon Magistracy Building and 24 at Lai Chi Kok under Mrs. Mitchell. The school closed on 15th December.\n\nthe\n\nVI.\n\nNon-British Refugees.\n\n67. In addition to the British refugees from Shanghai a considerable number of other nationals arrived in Hong Kong during the last week of August. Many passed through immediately. Portuguese, of whom 250 arrived on 27th August by Empress of Canada, were either accommodated by friends or passed on to Macao, those of French nationality to Saigon, and citizens of the United States of America to Manila. A Centre for about 100 refugees of Norwegian, Danish and Swedish nationalities was organized by their respective consuls in premises at the Cosmopolitan Dock, kindly lent by the Chief Manager of the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company, while the German Community of Hong Kong organized another Centre for their fellow nationals in a house on Stubbs Road.\n\n68. Some non-British nationals were, however, included among the British refugees, being mainly relatives of women who had acquired British nationality by\n\n58",

        "content_text": "6\n\n42\n\nA REFUTATION OF JAPANESE STATEMENTS MADE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CANTON BOMBINGS.\n\nAs one who is on the spot here in Canton and has personally seen some of the horrors perpetrated by the Japanese during the past fortnight, I have no hesitation in writing to deny all that the Japanese say in defence of their murderous and indiscriminate attacks on a practically defenceless civilian population living in a city which is nothing but the commercial centre for South China.\n\nThe statements issued by the Japanese Foreign Office in Tokyo, by the Japanese Admiralty Publicity Bureau, and by other spokesmen, are not only outrageous lies, but infer that protests to foreign powers have only been sent in by the Chinese authorities to arouse sympathy for their cause. The Canton Committee for Justice to China was responsible on Monday, May 30th, for sending off to different parts of the world cables of protest by foreigners, many of whom had personally seen the ghastly results of indiscriminate bombing. In the majority of cases, bombs have fallen not on military or government objectives or anywhere near them, but on crowded civilian areas. This can be vouched for by many foreigners who, like myself, have gone out to render what help we could in bombed civilian areas. We have seen the mangled remains of scores of civilians - men, women, and children - and many wounded from the effect of bomb explosions, and for the Japanese to say, as they have, that casualties were caused by Chinese anti-aircraft fire is a monstrous lie.\n\nThe apologists for murder state that their pilots scrupulously avoid passing over Shameen, which is a British and French Concession. I have, on occasions, been in Shameen during raids and seen distinctly Japanese planes cross the whole length of the island.\n\nThis is done by them in order the more easily to deal death and destruction to the adjacent crowded city. The Japanese Consul General in Hong Kong stated in reply to the protest made by the British Consul General in Canton that it was most difficult for the Japanese planes, when flying at a height of 10,000 feet, to discern such a small object as Shameen island, some 15 acres in area. If that is so, then it would be equally impossible for these same planes to aim accurately at what they call military objectives within the city, and which are much smaller in area than Shameen. The Japanese Consul General's own words confound him.\n\nThe Japanese have also stated that in numerous cases, the Chinese authorities have set up military and government establishments in close proximity to foreign property throughout the city of Canton. This again is an absolute lie, as practically all the foreign property owned in Canton is either in Shameen or Pak Hok Tung and Lingnan, which are both on the outskirts of the city. Within the city, apart from three hospitals and the large compound surrounding the Roman Catholic Cathedral, there is practically no foreign property at all.\n\nOne could write much more in refutation of the excuses made by Japanese official spokesmen, but I think it should be clear to the world at large by now that the Japanese militarists are indulging in an orgy of frightfulness in order to terrorise the population into submission.\n\nIn conclusion, I would urge that it is high time that the Governments of Great Britain, France, and the United States of America should take strong action to restrain Japan in her campaign of murder by refusing to allow her any supplies of oil and other such essential materials which are enabling her to carry on this unjust war, in which so many thousands of innocent civilians are suffering.\n\nSTUDENTS & THE WAR.\n\nIt is well known that students have always played a prominent part in the social life of China. Though the modern Chinese student has little in common with the scholar of his grandfather's day, he inherits something of his responsibility in social and political affairs. This responsibility is that of bringing culture and education to the masses, of whom so many are still illiterate. In the last twenty years, China has faced this question of mass education and brought forth the Renaissance of culture in the process. The building of a new and simplified national language (Kuo Yue) and the whole movement of absorbing the best traditions of the West are tremendous achievements which have sprung from the Chinese Universities. It is this growth of an independent modern Chinese culture which the Japanese want to crush.\n\nThis jealousy of Chinese education is not because China has scorned the achievements of Japan. On the contrary, the Chinese have always respected the rapid modernisation of Japan, and a great many Chinese students have been there to study. It should also be remembered that the Japanese owe a great deal of what is ancient in their culture to China. In return for that, every effort is being made to weaken the educated classes in this country. The tragedy is that the people who are doing this do not in any way represent the real culture of Japan. The attack on cultural institutions in China is, unfortunately, characteristic of the modern war-makers who have repudiated the modern historic culture of East and West in the interest of brute force.\n\nThe Japanese militarists have never forgiven the students of China for their action of May 4th, 1919, when in Peiping they forced the Chinese Government to oppose the Japanese encroachments in Shantung made at the time of the Versailles Treaty. From that time, students became an important political factor, though it must be admitted that in many cases they used their position unwisely. The point is, however, that after the 1932 war in Shanghai, students throughout China were remarkably passive. There was, between 1932 and 1935, a genuine attempt to curb the anti-Japanese emphasis and to concentrate their minds on internal reconstruction.\n\nBut in 1935, the Japanese again began their \"forward\" policy in North China; and after nearly four years of patience, the students in Peiping again demonstrated against their attempt to create \"autonomous\" governments by hiring certain Chinese ruffians to pose as \"Provisional\" leaders. The student, and indeed the whole nation, began to realise that the Japanese methods in North China were a menace not only to China's political stability but to the existence of any civilised and educated people.\n\nAs soon as the war began, it was obvious that the Japanese were determined to paralyse China's university life. The wanton shelling of Nankai University, the bombing of Central University, Nanking, the destruction of Universities in Shanghai are already well known. More recently, Hunan University, Changsha, has been bombed, and Amoy University destroyed when that port was taken. Both these institutions lie well away from the towns to which they are neighbours.\n\nTill now, the students of Canton have been fairly fortunate. The National Sun Yat Sen University has a fine new campus about four miles from the city. During the earlier raids, a great many bombs were aimed at this, but luckily none of the beautiful modern Chinese-style buildings were damaged. It was, however, obviously a target for the Japanese, and most of the classes moved into the University's old buildings, which are in the centre of Canton. On May 4th, during an air raid, a bomb aimed at the old University fell into a neighbouring street, killing several people. On June 5th and 6th, in the recent appalling air-raids, three bombs hit the University.\n\nDuring these days, the Sun Yat Sen University students have been trying to take their examinations, which have been held early in the morning and late at night to avoid the raiders. In the daytime, some of them have been doing rescue work with the Red Cross workers. Some institutions, like the Union Theological College, have organised their own First Aid troops.\n\nOf the other four Universities in Canton, Sheung Kan University has moved into the country. Kuo Min University and Canton University lie in the city, and although bombs have fallen near each of them, they have until now been able to carry on with their work. Lingnan University lies across the river and outside Canton. Three bombs fell into its campus, which killed and wounded 3 agricultural workers. The Union Theological College at Pak Hok Tung is at present immune.\n\nIt is obvious, however, that the general strain of studying during the last year has been very trying, and the colleges must be congratulated on having got through their programmes. During the last term, Lingnan University has been offering special courses related to the war crisis, in the Departments of Science, Government, History, Religion, etc. The Arts students also did, as part of their course, a two weeks' tour of the local villages on Honan Island. They gave talks on political education, practical first aid, air-raid precautions, and presented patriotic plays and taught games to the children as a contribution to the social life of the villages. It has had a good effect in helping to break down the barriers between a rich university and the countryside, and is a local example of what is happening everywhere in China - the uniting of all classes, students, soldiers, workers in the common cause.\n\n43\n\n7\n\nThe students of Canton also demonstrated their solidarity with students of other countries when they recently welcomed two delegates from the World's Student Association, Mr. Bernard Floud from Oxford and Mr. James Klugman from Paris. They were on a tour in China with a view to speaking for China's cause on their return. They visited the Universities in Canton and were given an extremely warm reception. More recently, in these raids, the students have sent a joint letter to Student bodies in Britain, U.S.A., Canada, and other countries, describing the bombing, stating that students are carrying on as best they can, and asking for support from foreign countries. All who read this bulletin may be assured of the desire of Chinese students to express their solidarity with the peace-loving peoples of the world.\n\nStudents have already suffered heavily in this war. Many of them are refugees, unable to continue their studies; readers of this bulletin are probably familiar with the needs for their relief. If not, they may like to know that gifts of money to the Student YMCA, 347 Madison Ave, N.Y., or International Student Service, 14 Rue Calvin, Geneva, or to British Student Christian Movement, Annandale, North End Rd, London N.W. 11, or direct to YMCA at Shanghai, 131 Museum Street, or YMCA Changsha, will be well used.\n\nBut more important, we are appealing that worse evils may not befall Chinese students through the Japanese invasion of China. Some students are fighting with the army. A great number are engaged in some kind of national service, and all are determined to uphold the right of students everywhere to study in peace and freedom from the repression of the war-makers. The Japanese militarists are attacking cultural institutions partly because they are centres of Chinese sentiment, but also because the military mind in control of Japan is afraid of culture. The senseless attacks on the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall have been the latest expression of this vandalism. It is a hall of considerable beauty and embodies the spirit of Canton as a pioneer city in the Republic. But it is of no great practical value. It stands well apart from any other buildings. Several bombs have been aimed at it, and it has been fairly seriously damaged. If we Westerners respect the beauty and cultural achievements of China and also want to preserve our own, we must make sure that the tide of Japanese aggression is checked by international action.\n\nJ.

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Sir A. Sinclair.]\n\ndanger if ever they return to Germany, but of these about 5,000 are in direct danger of their lives. They are prominent trade union leaders, people who have made themselves prominent in the defence of the Czecho-Slovak State, and leading representatives of the democratic parties, and I urge the Government that they should consider making a more generous contribution than offering asylum to 350 of these people. I have seen it stated that we have done as much as or more than France, but let it be remembered that France has done an immense amount for other people. France has had the Saar refugees thrown upon her in great numbers, and she has had an enormous number of refugees, far more than we have had, from Spain, and I do not think that it is a fair standard of comparison for this country to take what the French have done, and I urge the Government to be more generous in their estimate of our responsibilities towards these unhappy refugees.\n\nThere is only one other thing more I want to say about the past, and I must say this because it seems to me to go to the roots of the perplexities and dangers in which we now find ourselves. The Prime Minister, since he took over the responsibility for foreign affairs from the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Eden), seems to me at every stage to have mistaken the real issues and to have misunderstood the real intentions of Signor Mussolini and Herr Hitler. During the last General Election and, after all, that is only three years ago—the Prime Minister said:\n\n\"There is not one of the small countries of Europe which has not breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that at last we were going to put ourselves in a position to defend ourselves if necessary and to fulfil our obligations under the Covenant.\"\n\nI did not hear in the Prime Minister's speech this afternoon any reference whatsoever to our obligations under the Covenant. The sighs to-day from the small nations of Europe are more audible than they were when the Prime Minister spoke only three years ago, but they are not sighs of relief. They are sighs of anxiety and suffering. Again, the Prime Minister, speaking at that time deprecating a change of Government as a possible result of the General Election, said:\n\n\"Foreign countries would not know if in future they could rely on the British Empire or not.\"\n\nThe Government were returned to power and now they do know. At least Abyssinia knows, and it was round Italian aggression in Abyssinia that the Election was fought. Austria, whose independence was declared to be an object of British policy, also knows. Czechoslovakia knows, and is now entrusting her destinies to Germany. Spain has few illusions left. The Prime Minister rebuked the Leader of the Opposition for describing the Munich Agreement as a defeat for the democracies and for law and order. He contrasted the speech of the Leader of the Opposition with the speeches that are made in totalitarian countries. He said they do not attack their own Governments. For my part, I have not this respect for such totalitarian tradition. I prefer the British tradition of free speech, and I tell the Prime Minister that the people of this country mean to keep it and not to accept his totalitarian standards. When he contrasts the speech of the Leader of the Opposition with the speeches in totalitarian countries, it seems to me that, if you look at the merits of the matter, the speeches of the leaders in the totalitarian countries are exactly on the same lines as the speech of the Leader of the Opposition, for all assert loudly and with confidence that undoubtedly Munich was a defeat for Britain and France and a great victory for Hitler. Herr Goebbels, a member of the Reich Chancellor's Cabinet, one of the closest to him of all the members of the Cabinet, says that Herr Hitler went to Munich with \"Mein Kampf\" in one hand and the sword in the other, and we know that, as a matter of fact, that is true. In the name of justice and self-determination, we have added scores of thousands of Czechs, Germans, and Jews to the flood of refugees and world refugees condemned thousands of others to Nazi concentration camps and to lesser forms of tyranny and brutality.\n\nMr. Donner: Does the right hon. Gentleman really think that there would be fewer refugees if there had been no Munich Agreement and a war?\n\nSir A. Sinclair: I certainly think that they would not have been refugees from Nazi tyranny, nor do I admit for one moment that war would necessarily have taken place if the policy of the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Warwick and Leamington had been maintained—the League of Nations policy. I believe that that was the only way to preserve both peace and justice and that, since that policy was abandoned at every stage, we have drifted nearer and nearer to war, until a few days ago we found ourselves, under the policy which the hon. Member supports, on the brink of it. It was the result which I have prophesied, of that policy which my hon. Friends have prophesied, which hon. Members on this side of the House have prophesied, the inevitable result of the policy which the hon. Member himself supports.\n\nNow perhaps I shall be allowed to continue my speech, because I do not think that the interruption was very relevant. I was saying that thousands of refugees have been condemned to the concentration camps and added to the flood of refugees which is pouring over the world. One by one, in the name of appeasement, in Austria, in Czechoslovakia, and in Spain, we are handing over the keys of world power into the keeping of the most aggressive tyrannies since Napoleon's. In Austria, in Czechoslovakia, and now perhaps in Spain, the armies, air forces, great munitions industries, rich economic resources, and connections of whole countries are being turned over in the balance sheet of power from the side of law and order to the side of aggression and destruction. To the 35 German divisions released from the Czech frontiers, add 12 Austrian divisions and the fresh divisions which will be raised in Austria and in the Sudetenland territories. Lord Baldwin declared that our frontier now is on the Rhine; and now there are 50 more divisions to attack it. The edge of our naval weapon is blunted, for the blockade is losing its power.\n\nThese are the circumstances in which, for the first time, we are being asked to undertake an onerous and dangerous commitment, a specific guarantee against unprovoked aggression of a frontier in Central Europe. To have given it before the crisis was one thing when the frontiers of Czechoslovakia were in the mountains, when she had a fine army with high morale, splendidly equipped, and also with a great munitions industry behind it, and when we might have had the full support of Russia and France, and perhaps of other nations—that was one thing. What does it mean to give it now? This is the question which I am putting to the Government, so I would ask the President of the Board of Trade if he would kindly answer that when he comes to reply. The Prime Minister said that it was a guarantee not of a specific frontier, but against unprovoked aggression. Was not the Polish irruption into Teschen an act of unprovoked aggression, and had not the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence said that the guarantee was already morally in operation? What happened? How did we fulfil it? You say we shall fulfil it if similar circumstances arise in the future, or if there is an act of even more flagrant aggression. Even if you can excuse the Polish aggression—I do not know if you can or not; I can think of no excuse for it—but if there was an act of even more flagrant aggression, how are we to fulfil this guarantee? We ought to know now and not wait until an act of flagrant aggression happens and then be told, \"You must realise that it is very difficult for us to do anything.\" The totalitarian Powers stretch between us and Czechoslovakia. What is it in our power to do? Do not let us wait for that situation to arise. Let us know now. Let us be told now. How is it expected that we are to fulfil this guarantee? Is it to be a joint or a several guarantee? Is an effort to be made to get Russia in? The Prime Minister said that it was too early to ask for details as to who were to be the guarantors. Are we going to try and get Russia in? Are we going to exert our influence with Russia and ask her to come in? Let the Government tell us that.\n\nThe Prime Minister said, towards the end of his speech, that we were not contemplating the equipment of an Army on a Continental scale. That has always been my view, but the situation has greatly changed in recent weeks, and I would ask the President of the Board of Trade whether His Majesty's Government can assure us that, in the opinion of their military advisers, we should be able to fulfil our commitments under this specific guarantee without an army on a Continental scale. On the day that the Prime Minister went to the Munich Conference, I pleaded with him to go there to ensure the economic survival and the complete freedom and independence of Czechoslovakia. Rightly or wrongly, he did not.\n\n## Page 91\n## Page 92\n## Page 93\n## Page 94",

        "content_text": "## \n\n8 \n\n**MR. WINTER** said he had no doubt, from his local experience, that the school should be started in Berbera. Sir Arthur Lawrance had somewhat altered his views and was now in favour of starting a good, wholesome, country school. Mr. Winter had been in contact with Moslem prejudice for thirty years and had found it better policy to swim with the stream rather than against it. However desirous the Somali were to maintain old Somali customs, they would always look to Berbera as a centre of culture and to Arabic as the only means of progress. The only chance of obtaining a sound basis of education in Somaliland was to start a school in Berbera according to Mohammedan ideas and await developments. Meanwhile, they should be allowed to have in mind the institution of up-country schools, say within the next four years, and during the interval the Superintendent of Education could experiment in the matter of the language.\n\nAn illuminating Memorandum had been written by Mr. Scott of the Sudan which explained the difficulties of reducing Somali to writing. From what he had seen and from discussions with Sir Arthur Lawrance and others, there was no native desire to reduce Somali to writing, but the idea had been introduced by district officers and others. The root of the matter lay in the religious question. A Somali grammar was being written and he would like to see an experiment made to reduce Somali to Arabic writing. There was no reason why it should not be done. Somali was an indigenous language, fairly full, and fuller than Swahili. It bore no relation to other African languages, and contained a fair number of Arabic terms. Somali would tend to disappear as trade entered the country. The way of stagnation was to try and promote the languages which did not give the people any appreciable benefit with regard to the outside world.\n\n**MR. BURNEY**, in quoting Mr. Ellison's view for introducing the study and writing of Somali into a school, considered that if no literature existed in Somali, it was useless to introduce study of the language in order to create some.\n\n**MR. SCOTT** said that that argument was used against the reducing to writing of most African languages. Some of the Somali language was to be found in various parts of Africa and it composed part of the Kipsigis vocabulary, for instance.\n\n**MR. MAYHEW** remarked that even if it were not possible to develop station schools in the near future for financial reasons, as funds became available teachers and the right kind of courses would be required. Preparation for these would take a long time and, preventing the opening of station schools, it was to be hoped that progress would be made in the training of teachers in the Sudan or elsewhere.\n\n**MR. SCOTT** remarked that if the school were started a man like Mr. Ellison in charge in the course of the next five years would probably find a man capable of developing matters in the way Mr. Mayhew had in mind.\n\n**MR. MAYHEW** stated that two Somali students were being trained in the Sudan. They would return with the right ideas about station schools and these ideas would quickly spread.\n\nThe Committee gave general approval to the proposals.\n\n## 11. African Education Reports Sub-Committee. (A.C.E.C. 38/38)\n\nComments on Education Reports, Gold Coast, 1936-37, Nyasaland, 1937, Basutoland, 1936, and on the Report of the Proceedings of the Conference of Directors of Education, Bechuanaland, Swaziland and Basutoland, held at Pretoria, 1938. (A.C.E.C. 41/38): Notes submitted by Mr. Bull.\n\n**SIR DONALD CAMERON** enumerated the main points in the Sub-Committee's reports. With reference to Basutoland he said that Mr. Bull seemed keenly aware of the needs of the Protectorate in regard to education and the policy he was endeavouring to follow was a live and sound one. The Sub-Committee had been much interested to find, in the case of the Primary schools, that they had been unable to undertake agricultural work as no land was available. As far as possible, however, this want would be made up by the seed and demonstration grounds which the Agricultural Department were endeavouring to establish. The Sub-Committee were impressed by the high standard which was aimed at for the training of teachers. They were also impressed by the fact that although highly qualified Basutoland teachers were able to obtain higher wages in the Union they returned to Basutoland and entered Government service. The Sub-Committee wished to support the plan for the inclusion of classes for motor mechanics at the technical school, if it should be put forward.\n\nReferring to the Conference of Directors of Education, Bechuanaland, Swaziland and Basutoland, Pretoria, Sir Donald Cameron noted the valuable contribution which \n9 \nthis Conference had made at collaboration between the three Protectorates. The very interesting fact was brought up by Mr. Bull that the establishment of a High school at Maseru, although designed to meet the requirements of Basutoland in the first instance, would benefit education in all three territories, and Bechuanaland and Swaziland were willing to co-operate, although there appeared to be no urgency in the latter territory.\n\n(Mr. Dawe took the Chair at this stage of the proceedings.)\n\nThe Sub-Committee had informed Mr. Bull that if a proposal for the appointment of a woman inspector primarily for Basutoland but with some responsibility for the other Territories were submitted it would receive the support of the Committee; he was also told of what was being done elsewhere for women's and girls' education.\n\n**DR. ESDAILE** considered that the Committee should emphasize the need for a woman inspector.\n\nThe Committee agreed that the need for the woman inspector should be emphasized, particularly in view of the rapid progress in girls' education made during the last three years.\n\nThe Reports were then approved, in the light of the foregoing discussion.\n\n## 12. Tanganyika Territory: Annual Education Department Report, 1936\n\nComments from the Governor's Deputy in reply to the African Reports Sub-Committee's comments (`A.C.E.C. 12C/38`) and a Memorandum by Mr. R. J. Mason entitled \"Education of Rural Communities: Suggestion for the training of teachers\" had been circulated for consideration (`A.C.E.C. 42/38`).\n\n**SIR DONALD CAMERON** referred to the training of teachers (paragraph 3 of `A.C.E.C. 12C/38` and paragraph (2) of `A.C.E.C. 42/38`). The Sub-Committee had suggested that the Director of Education might have more than one grade of teacher instead of only one as at present. The matter had been discussed at great length with the Director of Education who would have understood the Committee's reference. Unfortunately, the Acting-Director had misunderstood the comments. The Tanganyika Government in the first instance had established a two-year course for elementary teachers. After a certain number of years the length of the course was raised to three. The Committee had then suggested increasing the inadequate supply of teachers by adding to the existing training course a simpler and shorter course for a lower grade. But the Government had now raised the length of the course to four years. In Nigeria young men were trained for two years and were then well-fitted for teaching in the Bush schools, and afterwards were capable of returning to the fuller course of training.\n\n**MR. MAYHEW** said Mr. Mason's scheme was an interesting development of the Advisory Committee's Memorandum on the Education of Rural Communities. He could not envisage all teachers being trained on the lines of this scheme but it might be possible for some to receive such a training. But it was important to provide also a shorter and simpler course. This should be made clear to the Governor.\n\n**DR. ESDAILE** said the education of girls was too academic and the assistance of a woman superintendent of education to draw it back to something more useful was required. Domestic and agricultural instruction were at present excluded.\n\n**MR. MAYHEW** said that arrangements were being made for filling the new post of Woman Inspector of Schools.\n\nThe Committee recommended that the Secretary of State should bring the points mentioned in the foregoing discussion to the notice of the Tanganyika Government.\n\n## 13. Education in the Gambia\n\n**MR. ALLEN** made the following statement with reference to the Annual Education Report, 1937, of the Gambia.\n\nWhile he appreciated the conditions existing in the Gambia, he was distressed upon his arrival in that country to find education in such a bad state largely due to lack of public funds and to the extreme poverty of the whole population. It was stated in the Report that one of his first duties would be to tighten up the existing organization and bring all schools as far as possible into line with the Regulations of the Education Ordinance of 1935. The previous Education Reports on the Gambia gave, by inference, the impression that the situation was better than it really was. Standard VII was referred to, but this Standard was equivalent only to Standard IV in Nigeria. The following were a few points which had occupied his attention during the last six months.\n\nAttendance at the schools was never more than 60 per cent. of the school-going population. Sixty per cent of the children's parents paid school fees but the remaining 40 per cent made no attempt to do so. A large number of children continually changed from one school to another, attending very irregularly, and their parents paid no fees.\n\n32",

        "content_text": "# +5 \n\n2 \n\nTask an easy one. I have referred in a separate despatch (No. 660 of the 5th October) to a difference of opinion between the Prime Minister and the Privy Council in regard to the Government's action in promulgating, without prior reference to that body, an Imperial Ordinance giving increased authority to the Prime Minister in connexion with the enforcement of the National General Mobilisation Law. The possibility of difficulties in connexion with this matter has for the time being disappeared, but there are several important projects under consideration by the Government which will require to be submitted to the Privy Council, and it is to be feared that the slight which some at least of the members consider has been put upon the Council by the Government's action in this respect will tell against the Prime Minister and his colleagues in any future dealings they may have with it.\n\n## 7. \nMoreover, this is not the only matter in regard to which the Government has already experienced, or is experiencing, difficulty. As your Lordship is aware, General Abe, with a view to effecting a reduction in the membership of his Cabinet, decided in certain cases to combine two Departments under a single Minister, and in pursuance of this arrangement Admiral Godo assumed the two portfolios of Agriculture and Forestry and Commerce and Industry. There was at the time some scepticism as to the wisdom of this course, as there has in the past been much friction between the two Departments, which were formed some years ago out of the former Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Scepticism has already proved to be well founded, for serious differences of opinion have arisen in regard to the policy to be followed in certain matters by the Departments concerned, and Admiral Godo is being vigorously attacked by many important agricultural organisations on the ground that he has shown greater favour to schemes put forward by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry than to those put forward by the other Department over which he presides. Admiral, who has previously held office as Minister of Commerce and Industry and has for some years been intimately connected with many important industrial undertakings, has stated that he is determined to retain both portfolios or to resign. But there is a strong feeling that he is not properly qualified to serve as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, and a movement is on foot to force the Prime Minister to relieve him of his additional post and to appoint to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry a separate Minister, who will see that the requirements of that Department will receive adequate consideration. The outcome of the dispute is still uncertain, but the position is an embarrassing one for the Prime Minister.\n\n## 8. \nThere is, further, a prospect of serious friction in connexion with the proposal to establish a new Ministry of Trade, to which General Abe referred in his address to the prefectural Governors. This project is a legacy from previous Cabinets, though the matter has been shelved from time to time and was practically in abeyance at the time when Baron Hiranuma resigned. It has since, however, been revived, and, the Cabinet having approved in principle, a scheme was recently drawn up by the Planning Board. It calls, according to press reports, for the merger in one Department, and, either in whole or in part, of a number of Bureaux belonging to the Ministries of Finance, Commerce and Industry, Agriculture and Forestry, Foreign Affairs and Overseas Affairs. But there has been considerable difficulty in drawing a clear line of demarcation between production and trade, and in defining the scope of jurisdiction as regards, for example, diplomacy and commerce. Moreover, it has been found difficult to reconcile the rival claims of the various Departments concerned, whose jurisdiction over certain matters is traditional. In fact, the problem presents many difficulties, and though it has now been announced that the Cabinet has agreed to adopt the scheme put forward by the Planning Board, it is certain that the necessary arrangements for putting it into effect cannot be made without further friction. There is, for example, such strong opposition to the scheme in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs that the Director of the Commercial Bureau, the greater part of which it is proposed to transfer to the new Ministry, has tendered his resignation, while many of his staff are threatening to do the same. I shall not fail to report further in regard to this matter in due course; but, meanwhile, it is unfortunate that Admiral Nomura should have been faced so soon after his appointment with a departmental dispute of this nature, and much may depend on the manner in which it is handled.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(For the Ambassador), J. L. Dodds.\n\n3 \n\n## Enclosure 1.\n\nSummary (taken from press reports) of an Address delivered by the Prime Minister at a Conference of Prefectural Governors on October 2, 1939.\n\nJAPAN at present has great problems to surmount before attaining its national objectives; but she is equal to the task and the Government is determined to cope with the present emergency. Discarding the spirit of liberalism and individualism, officials and people alike must be united: and the Government desires your understanding and co-operation in the urgent problems of the day. The international situation is complicated and delicate, and it is the duty of the Government to secure Japan's position on an independent basis and thereby increase her national prestige. The conclusion of the China incident, and the creation of a new order in East Asia, are the most pressing problems confronting the nation to-day, and it is necessary for the Government to concentrate its efforts upon the attainment of these objectives. The fundamental policy for dealing with the China incident has already been fixed, and there can be no change therein. Changes of Cabinet make no difference. The power of the anti-Japanese régime is gradually declining, and a new Central Government will shortly be established. The Government will assist in its establishment and co-operate with it with a view to furthering a settlement of the \"incident.\" However, the incident will not end with the establishment of a new Government or with the collapse of the anti-Japanese régime. What Japan desires is not only the restoration of peace, but also the construction of a new order in East Asia by means of unity between Japan and Manchukuo and a new relationship between Japan and China. Her principal object is to ensure the lasting stability of East Asia.\n\nThe Government has stated its intention to avoid being involved in the European war and its determination to improve the situation in the Far East. This, however, does not mean that Japan will stand aloof from the rest of the world; she is ready to co-operate with those countries which understand her position in East Asia; but she is determined to deal resolutely with those which are not prepared to understand Japan's true intention. It is necessary to watch the attitude of the Powers in order to prevent anything that will obstruct the construction of a new order in East Asia, and at the same time to replenish armaments and cultivate Japan's national strength. The economic structure of the country must also be strengthened, so that it is imperative to expedite the materialisation of the Government's programme for increasing production and establishing a comprehensive economic scheme for Japan, Manchukuo and China. With this end in view, the Government is planning to create a Ministry of Trade and to strengthen other trade organisations. The Government also intends to invoke additional articles of the National General Mobilisation Law with a view to reorganising the industrial and economic systems on a war footing. In this connexion the principal problem is to devise measures to prevent prices from rising and to eliminate speculation. Further economies in all directions will be required of the whole nation.\n\n## Enclosure 2.\n\nSummary of Address delivered by the Minister for Foreign Affairs at a Conference of Prefectural Governors on October 2, 1939. (Translated from a Summary (in Japanese) issued by the Information Bureau of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.)\n\nAS explained by Mr. Arita at the Conference of Prefectural Governors held in May last, the Government had adopted the policy of strengthening the Anti-Comintern Pact between Japan, Germany and Italy and was engaged in negotiations with those two countries. Subsequently, however, the situation in Europe, centring round the problem of Danzig, underwent a sudden change as a result of the conclusion on the 24th August of a non-aggression agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union. On account of this agreement, the negotiations in question were suspended.\n\nThe situation in Europe went from bad to worse after the conclusion of the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Agreement, and on the 31st August hostilities...",

        "content_text": "# \n\n4 \n\ncommenced between the German and Polish armies. Subsequently, on the 3rd September Great Britain and France, in accordance with the undertaking they had given to Poland, both declared war on Germany. The German army, with irresistible force, overwhelmed the greater part of Poland in less than ten days, and on the 17th September the Soviet Union suddenly sent troops into that country and without loss of blood occupied the eastern part, while the leaders of the Polish Government took refuge outside their country. It appears that the Soviet invasion of Poland was the result of an understanding previously reached with Germany. The German army retreated as the Soviet forces advanced, and the latter now occupy about half of the whole of Poland, including the oil-bearing districts near Lemberg. Moreover, on the 29th September an agreement with regard to a delimitation of the new frontiers between Germany and the Soviet Union was signed in Moscow. It is impossible to predict the future course of the war, which, it seems likely, will last for a long time. It differs in many respects from the last European war and appears to partake largely of the nature of a war of diplomacy, economics and ideals rather than a war of military strength.\n\nThe Imperial Government, upon being informed of the opening of hostilities by Great Britain and France against Germany, decided to pursue a policy of non-involvement in the war and to proceed to a settlement of the China incident, and on the 4th September a statement to this effect was issued. When war breaks out between third countries a non-participating country automatically enjoys the rights, and must accept the obligations, of neutrality under international law, and it is not necessary that a declaration of neutrality should be issued. Accordingly, the Government's statement of the 4th September may in a sense be called an expression of the attitude of the Japanese Government vis-à-vis the European war and the reason why they had adopted this method. The basis of Japan's foreign policy is to attain at all costs a settlement of the China incident, and accordingly her policy vis-à-vis third countries must be determined on that basis.\n\nThe Government, in accordance with their settled policy of disposing of the incident, intend to take measures to deal with the present critical situation by giving effect to a multilateral and comprehensive foreign policy, after careful consideration and with due regard to the situation in Europe.\n\nJudging from reports from various sources the difficulties of the Chungking Government are increasing, and its financial difficulties can be readily understood from the fall in value of the fapi.\n\nThe main reason why the Chiang Kai-shek régime has been able to subsist since its flight to Chungking last year is the material and moral support given to it by third Powers. Japan must assist in the task of establishing a new central Government in China and, at the same time, devise measures to bring about the elimination of the assistance from third Powers, which has been the external cause of the continued existence of the Chiang régime.\n\nOne of the chief reasons why third Powers continue directly and indirectly to put obstacles in Japan's way by helping Chiang Kai-shek is anxiety lest, with the downfall of the Chiang régime, their rights and interests in China shall be ... But what Japan asks from China is close political and economic co-operation between the two countries based on the principle of friendship between neighbours, and she has no idea whatever of closing the door in China and of excluding economic activities on the part of third Powers. In the past repeated efforts have been made to dispel the anxiety of third Powers on this point; but it is necessary, by emphasising and demonstrating its truth, to induce them to abandon their support of Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nWith regard to relations with Great Britain, the so-called \"Anglo-Japanese Conversations\" took place in Tokyo in July. As a result Great Britain agreed in principle to refrain from measures beneficial to the enemy and injurious to Japan in areas under the control of the Japanese forces in China. Negotiations were, however, broken off because Great Britain would not assent to Japan's demands in regard to the disposal of concrete questions relating to the concession at Tientsin.\n\nEfforts to make the United States fully understand Japan's true intentions in regard to the construction of a new order in East Asia will be continued.\n\nAs regards relations with the Soviet Union, negotiations have taken place in Moscow in connexion with the so-called Nomonhan incident involving Manchukuo and Mongolia; and as a result an agreement has been reached by Mr. Togo and M. Molotov for a truce. The Government hopes to solve one by one other questions pending between Japan and the Soviet Union.\n\n## Enclosure 3\n\nExtract from the Japan Advertiser of October 3, 1939.\n\n### Summary of Address by the Minister of Finance\n\nIt may be assured that there will be increased demand for Japanese goods throughout the world as a result of the war in Europe, just as there was at the time of the Great War, when Japanese industry had a phenomenal boom, but this time there is a limit to the amount Japan can export because of the difficulty of obtaining raw materials for such exports and the shortage of labour and transportation facilities,\" \"Domei\" reports the Finance Minister, Mr. Kazuo Aoki, as telling the governors' conference yesterday.\n\nIt is even possible that there will be a decrease in the export trade owing to the lack of shipping and the difficulty of foreign settlements.\n\nIn the field of imports, the Finance Minister went on, foreign raw materials will become increasingly hard to get, and some of them will be impossible to obtain during the hostilities because of export restrictions imposed by the countries of supply, rising prices and other obstacles.\n\n\"Such developments,\" the Finance Minister said, \"might hamper the production expansion plans of Japan in connexion with the creation of a new order in East Asia, and may force the Government to strengthen control over private demand for goods.\n\nJapan must make further strenuous efforts to promote the export trade and obtain a liberal supply of foreign materials,\" Mr. Aoki declared.\n\nThe Finance Minister began his talk by stating that financial and economic measures must be formulated and carried out on the fundamental policy of building up the powers of the nation, such as national defence and along economic lines, in line with the China situation and developments in international affairs. To this end, capital, materials and man power must be co-ordinated among Japan, Manchukuo and China and the national general mobilisation system completed and strengthened.\n\nJapan's finance has been greatly expanded by the China incident, and most prudent measures are necessary to remedy vicious influences in the national economy through the large amount of money coming from the Government. The budget must be carefully handled, with the spending programme of the Government kept in line with the programme for national economy by avoiding careless disbursement of funds which would be bad for the plans for thrift and retrenchment.\n\nAlong this principle the Government pared more than 215 million yen in the general accounts in the budget for the 1939-40 fiscal year. The Government either eliminated or deferred items which had already been decided upon where this seemed necessary in view of the material resources mobilisation plan. Retrenchment was also adopted in connexion with many other undertakings and thrift introduced all along the line.\n\nIn the budget for next year the Government intends to concentrate on only the most important undertakings, and at the same time will endeavour to increase revenue by increased taxes as well as ever before. At the same time special attention will be paid to maintenance of harmony between the budget and various economic measures, covering goods, labour, capital and commodity prices, in order to formulate a budget in accordance with the combined economic power of the State.\n\nGeneral revision of the central Government and local taxation systems has long been contemplated, and it is now thought that this must be carried out as soon as possible, the Finance Minister continued. Such revision will have a far-reaching effect on various departments of the Government, so it will be carried ... \n\n28",

        "content_text": "## \n2 \n\nby both the Prime Minister and the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the course of the Diet session, and more lately by that made by the former at the recent conference of Prefectural Governors to the effect that Japan intended by strengthening the Anti-Comintern pact to meet the tense international situation from its own independent standpoint (please see my telegram No. 405 of the 9th May).\n\n5. Nothing has appeared in the press to show what actually transpired during the struggle in the Cabinet between the advocates of an alliance and their opponents, the main scene of which has been set in a series of five-Minister conferences. It is understood that the reason for this is that a ban has been placed on the publication of anything on the subject of the possibility of the conclusion of a military alliance with the Axis Powers, in view of which the press in reporting the comings and goings of Ministers have had to content themselves with stating that the subject under discussion was the policy to be followed vis-à-vis the situation in Europe. It seems sufficiently clear, however, that the main supporters of an alliance were the army, who have taken a very strong line, and that the Prime Minister has been at pains to steer a course midway between the extremists and the moderates. A staunch believer in Anglo-Japanese friendship has more than once described the position to me as being one in which an organised minority were endeavouring to impose their views on an unorganised majority. He said that the latter, consisting of the intellectual classes and business interests, were quite convinced that too intimate a friendship with Germany was unwise, but that the former were equally convinced that their views were right and their fear of Russia made it impossible to convince them that they were wrong.\n\n## \n6. This summing up of the situation seems to have been accurate, though there is reason to believe that at one moment the clash of views in the Cabinet threatened a serious political crisis. I have it on excellent authority that, while the Cabinet was still divided and undecided, the Emperor intervened decisively and intimated clearly to the army that he was opposed to the proposal for an alliance and that some other solution must be found which would not commit Japan to hostilities as a result of the outbreak of a war in Europe. The decisiveness of this intervention has been compared with the strong line taken by His Majesty after the incident of February 1936, and shows that, while the Imperial prerogative is used sparingly, it can still be used with effect when occasion demands.\n\n7. For the moment, a decision against the conclusion of an alliance has definitely been reached, but the reactionary elements have been left irritated and discomfited. To placate these powerful circles, a strengthening of the Anti-Comintern pact in some form is generally considered to be essential, but there is no sure information as to what precise form the new pact will take or whether the new formula, if evolved, will prove acceptable to the Axis. In this respect the Government has not seen fit to take the country into its confidence, and the position remains obscure with opinion in general inclining to the view that for the moment a compromise between the conclusion of an alliance and leaving things as they are has been effected (please see my telegram No. 458 of the 21st May). All that is certain is that the German Government have not abandoned hope of attaining their ends and that German pressure on Japan is continuing.\n\n8. The struggle between the advocates of an alliance and the more cautious sections of the nation has been well reflected in the press. The leading papers, such as the Asahi, the Nichi Nichi and the Chugai, have in the main refrained from discussion of the subject, taking an objective view of the situation. The reactionary press, however, represented by the Yomiuri and more especially the Kokumin, have consistently advocated the strengthening of the Anti-Comintern pact, making it clear that by this they mean the conclusion of a military alliance with the Axis Powers. And in this connexion it may be of interest to record that the Hochi appears recently to have joined the ranks of the extremists, for in a leading article in its issue of the 20th May it took the Government sharply to task for its failure to take the country into its confidence as to the decision reached by the five-Minister conference. It drew attention to the fact that both the Prime Minister and the Minister for Foreign Affairs had expressed approval of the alliance concluded between Germany and Italy on the 22nd May and had expressed a hope that relations between Japan and those two countries would be consolidated. The fact that Japan had not been a party to the alliance was therefore very puzzling to the Japanese people. The militarisation, or (to give the literal translation of the word employed in the original Japanese) the arming of the Anti-Comintern pact ought to be one of the fundamental principles of Japan's foreign policy and the Government ought to make up its mind and let the country know where it stood. The situation demanded a fundamental change in Japan's economic structure, which should be totalitarian in form and freed entirely from connexion with the Anglo-American economic bloc. It is unfortunate that the Hochi, the tone of which has as a rule been moderate, should have taken to writing in this strain; but there has recently been a change in the presidency of the company to which the paper belongs and the new management would seem to have distinct leanings to the Right.\n\n9. To sum up the situation as I see it to-day, it may be said with confidence that the moderate elements in the Government have at last won the first round in the struggle which has been going on for the past few months. But it has been a hard fight and much depends upon the course of events in Europe, which Japan is watching with the keenest attention. The discussions here are continuing and the negotiations which His Majesty's Government are now conducting with the Government of the Soviet Union are undoubtedly one of the main points of interest, there being ample evidence that neither the Japanese Government nor the people as a whole like the idea of a rapprochement between ourselves and the country which Japan regards as her natural enemy. It is to be feared, therefore, that the conclusion of any agreement with the U.S.S.R. will strengthen the hands of the advocates of an alliance with the Axis Powers. But there is in Japan a strong body of opinion in favour of continued caution and restraint and on both sides a realisation of the importance of the decision which Japan must ultimately take. I am not, therefore, without hope that in the rounds of the struggle which are yet to be fought the advocates of moderation will continue to hold their own and that the final decision will be that which all true friends of Japan would wish her to take.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nR. L. CRAIGIE.\n\n## \n43",

        "content_text": "# THE TIMES WEDNESDAY APRIL 19 1939\n\n## SIR MATTHEW NATHAN\n\n## SOLDIER, GOVERNOR, AND POLITICIAN\n\nLieutenant-Colonel the Right Hon. Sir Matthew Nathan, who died at the Manor House, West Coker, Somerset, yesterday at the age of 77, had a long administrative career of great distinction and variety. Beginning his career as a soldier, he saw a considerable amount of active service. Later, he held the Governorships of the Gold Coast, Hong-kong, Natal, and Queensland, and among the important posts he held at home was that of Under-Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (the 1st Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair) from 1914 to 1916.\n\nBorn on January 3, 1862, of a Jewish family of remarkable ability, and younger brother of the late Colonel Sir Frederic Nathan, the chemist and explosives expert, he entered the Royal Engineers in 1880, being promoted to captain in 1889 and obtaining his majority in 1898. He saw active service with the Sudan Expedition in 1884-85, when he was employed on the Sudan Railway, and with the Lushai Expedition in 1889, for which he received the medal and clasp. In 1895, Nathan was appointed Secretary to the Colonial Defence Committee, and this first brought him under the notice of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, who formed a high opinion of his abilities. While still Secretary to the Committee, he was sent out to Sierra Leone in 1898 to administer the Government of that Colony. In 1900, he was appointed Governor of the Gold Coast, an appointment which he held for three years. The Ashanti War had just ended, and the Colony was still in an unsettled state. The new Governor soon began to bring about a better state of affairs. He devoted his energy to developing the resources and improving the finances of the Colony, and, in particular, pushed forward the railway into the interior, the purpose of the new line being both strategic and economic. He was popular both with the merchants and with the natives, of whose interests he made a special study; and at the end of his three years' Governorship, he left behind him a record of wise and prudent administration.\n\nIn 1903, Sir Matthew was transferred to Hong-kong, where the reputation which he had gained as Governor on the West Coast was confirmed. His term of office coincided with a period of prosperity in the Colony's affairs, and during his Governorship, the negotiations regarding the Canton-Kowloon railway took place. From 1907 to 1909, he was Governor of Natal, being the last Governor before the federation of the four South African Colonies in the Union of South Africa. During his term of office, there was some recrudescence of the native trouble in Zululand, but otherwise, the matters of chief moment were those connected with the question of federation. In 1909, his career took a different turn. On the formation of the Union, he became Secretary to the General Post Office at home, in which appointment he showed the same qualities of impartiality and judgment and mastery of the details of administration which he had shown in his Colonial appointments. His success at the G.P.O. marked him out for further promotion, and in 1911, he was appointed Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, in succession to Sir Robert Chalmers on the appointment of the latter to be Permanent Secretary of the Treasury.\n\nThen followed the Irish episode which forms the most debated period in Sir Matthew's career. Just before the outbreak of the War, it became necessary for the Government to choose a new Under-Secretary for Ireland, to prepare the way for the advent of Home Rule. His long and varied record of successful administration, coupled with his knowledge of finance and his previous experience of the difficulties connected with a change in the system of government in another part of the Empire, seemed to suggest Sir Matthew Nathan as a suitable choice for this important appointment. On the outbreak of the War, the difficulties of the Irish question were greatly increased, and the Under-Secretary, on taking up his new duties in October, 1914, had to face a most serious and menacing situation as well as the attacks of extremists who opposed the policy of the Irish Nationalist Party, in supporting the Government. The Sinn Fein movement gathered momentum, and the reluctance of the Irish Executive to take repressive measures culminated in the Irish Rebellion of Easter, 1916. The Chief Secretary (Mr. Birrell) was in England in connection with a Cabinet crisis, and Sir Matthew was in sole charge at Dublin Castle when the rebellion broke out. For its failure to warn the Government at home of the seriousness of the danger, the Irish Executive was severely criticized, and the Lord Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary resigned. The Lord Lieutenant was subsequently reappointed, while Sir Matthew Nathan was transferred to this country as Secretary of the Ministry of Pensions, where his abilities in finance and in the mastery of detail had full play.\n\nA new chapter of Sir Matthew's career opened in 1920 on his appointment as Governor of Queensland, where he remained for five years. A Labour Government was in power under Mr. Theodore, who remained Premier of the State during the greater part of Sir Matthew's term. Among the important events which occurred during his Governorship were the extension of the State Railway system and the acquisition by the Government of the Brisbane tramways. In the constitutional field, should be mentioned the abolition of the Legislative Council. Nathan was Chancellor of Queensland University in 1922-26, of which he was LL.D. He had specially devoted his attention to the question of the survey of the Great Barrier Reef, and on his return to this country, he continued his interest in the matter. It was on his initiative that the Government set up a sub-committee of the Civil Research Committee, whose recommendations led to the Barrier Reef Expedition in 1928-29. He was, in addition, chairman of several other sub-committees of the Civil Research Committee, and later of the Economic Advisory Council; he was chairman of the Sub-Committee on Geophysical Surveying in 1927 and of the Sub-Committee on Irrigation Research in 1928-30. He was also a member of the Special Commission on the Constitution of Ceylon in 1927-28, and was chairman of the Colonial Secretary's Advisory Committee on Rubber in 1926-28.\n\nSince his retirement from Queensland, Nathan had had a country home in Somerset, and took a warm interest in all local affairs. He had been an alderman of the Somerset County Council since 1927, and was president of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society in 1930-31. He was greatly interested in the preservation and classification of county records, and he did much active work on those of Somerset. In recent years, he spent much time in preparing an account of the history in the Middle Ages of the Manor of West Coker.\n\nHe was pricked for Sheriff of the county in March, 1934.\n\nSir Matthew Nathan was unmarried. He was created a C.M.G. in 1899, and was promoted to K.C.M.G. in 1902 and G.C.M.G. in 1908, during his Governorship of Natal. He was sworn a Privy Councillor for Ireland in 1914.\n\nPage 20\nPage 21\n\n## Charges to pay\n\n| S. | d. |\n| --- | --- |\n| RECEIVED Central Telegraph Office, E.C.I. | 6 |",

All have been either demolished or superseded since then - Victoria Gaol was reconstructed in 1865, and superseded a few years ago by the new prison at Stanley, while the Magistracy as it stands today is a comparatively new structure. Perhaps the oldest of the existing Police Stations is the old No. 1 in Happy Valley, which a few years ago was converted into quarters for Indian constables, when the fine new Wanchai (No. 2) Station came into use on the Praya East Reclamation. It is on record that a Wongneichong Police Station was erected in 1853, and the old No. 9 at Caine Road went up the same year. The original Central Police Station was built in 1857, and the old No. 7 Station (superseded in 1902) was erected in 1858. Several other outlying stations were built about this period. The old Wanchai Station was built in 1868.\n\nThe Colony had its fair quota of Chinese criminals at that time, and in the early years a gang of pirates from the mainland actually landed near West Point and looted the Chinese section of the town. Raids by armed Chinese on European residences were also not uncommon. But the records of the Supreme Court contain references to piracies of a more ambitious kind, such as thrilled most of us in the fiction of our youth.\n\n## EUROPEAN PIRATES\n\nIt is strange to think nowadays of the trial in Hongkong in 1845 of Henry Daniel Sinclair, a Briton, former gunner of the schooner Ariel, on charge of piracy. He was sentenced to transportation for life. In 1848, Captain Cole of the schooner Spec and his crew were acquitted of a charge of piracy; but an Englishman named William Fenton, who commanded a Chinese lorcha, or junk, engaged in piracy, was sentenced to three years' hard labour in 1852, after a series of trials in which he had at first been discharged, and many adventures, which included a fight in which a Portuguese naval officer was killed by some of Fenton's Chinese crew. In 1857, an American with the truly romantic name of Eli Boggs - in itself suggesting the pirate chiefs of the story books - was sentenced in Hongkong to transportation for life, on a charge of piracy and murder, and owing to ill-health was sent back to America the following year.\n\nThese were men who in the main led Chinese freebooters operating in local waters. The Chinese pirates, who at one time had counted Hongkong Island a stronghold of their own, continued their trade for many years, and within living memory, before British control was extended on the mainland, Hong Kong residents could journey out to Kowloon City shoreline (now obliterated by the airport reclamation) and witness rows of pirates being executed.\n\n## WYNDHAM STREET 95 YEARS AGO\nWyndham Street in 1846, with old Hongkong Club on the right and Pedder's Hill on the left.\n\n## The Volunteers Come Into Being\n\nIt required the Crimean War, however, when in Britain itself enthusiasm was at a high pitch, to create sufficient enthusiasm locally, but the first suggestion for local Volunteers did not develop until 1860. In March 1862, a public meeting in the old Court House decided to form a Volunteer Corps. A battery of artillery was first organised, and a band followed; in 1863 a rifle company came into being, and in 1864 the Volunteers had their first experience of street patrols following a small riot in the Colony, which followed a fight between European and Malay sailors, and in which British soldiers later took part.\n\nThe Jockey Club also has an old history, the race course having been constructed in 1846, but prior to that Hongkong sportsmen (from 1841 to 1845) raced their ponies at Macao.\n\nWhen hostilities with the Chinese broke out again not long after Hong Kong had been ceded, owing to non-observance of the provisional treaty stipulations, some of these re-embarked for Canton, and took part in the punitive operations.\n\nThe oldest cemetery, used by the military, was at Taipingshan, above Queen's Road West, while the civilians were buried at St Francis Yard, off Queen's Road East. Stanley cemetery was opened a little later for the military, and the Colonial Cemetery in Happy Valley for civilians (in 1845). The remains of those buried in St Francis Yard were removed to the Colonial Cemetery in 1889.\n\nOwing to the presence of Indian soldiers here in the very early days, including a number of Mohammedans, the community was one of those almost specially catered for from the outset, and not only was a mosque in existence at an early date (1843) but a Moslem cemetery was also established.\n\nAmong other early pioneers of non-Ecclesiastical institutions were early in the field: and several schools were also opened in the very first year of the British occupation. Let us consider some of the older foundations.\n\nFrom the very first, religious bodies must have turned their eyes to a new field of endeavour, and when the Colony had assumed some semblance of settled order, the earliest missions arrived. The Baptists were among the first here, and in 1842 a Baptist Chapel was opened in Queen's Road, primarily intended, it would appear, for Chinese worshippers. Rev. J. L. Schuck opened it with money subscribed by the foreign community (resident and transient).",

In its present form, it was opened for worship in 1888.\n\nSt Joseph's Church in Garden Road was opened in November 1872, but was partly demolished by a typhoon in 1874 and had to be rebuilt, this work being completed in 1876.\n\nThe only other religious institutions of some age are the Mosque at Shelley Street, the original building having been erected in 1855 and a new structure going up on the same site in 1915; and the Synagogue. The Jewish community held worship from 1860 to 1864 in a house in Seymour Terrace lent by Mr A. D. Sassoon. A house in Shelley Street presented by Mr Solomon Sassoon was later converted into a Synagogue. In 1882, Sir Jacob Sassoon, Bart., converted the old Cosmopolitan Club in Staunton Street into a place of worship; and a move was made to Robinson Road two years later, services being held in a temporary structure while the present Ohel Leah Synagogue (also erected by Sir Jacob, and dedicated to the memory of his mother) was being built.\n\n### THE SCHOOLS\n\nClosely associated with the religious bodies have always been the schools, founded originally by missions. A brief review of these is possible within the limited scope of this article.\n\nSt Paul's College, a Church of England school, was originally an institution for training Chinese as ministers of the church. The land on which it stands was granted by Government in 1843, and within a few years, the building was commenced, being completed in the later 'forties, the foundation stone being laid in 1847. In 1849, the first Bishop of Hongkong (Rt. Rev. George Smith) was appointed its Warden under statutes approved by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the following year took up residence in the House Bishop's then recently built, which is still in use.\n\nAnother very old school was the Anglo-Chinese College, opened in the later 'forties by Rev. Dr Legge. This had to close in 1856 owing to lack of support.\n\nAnother early institution which became defunct after a comparatively brief existence was St Andrew's School, intended for the education of English children. It was formed after a public meeting held in 1855 to consider the need for such a school, among those sponsoring the plan being Mr George Duddell, one of the early opium monopolists, after whom Duddell Street is named. St Andrew's School was opened in premises situated in Staunton Street but had to close in 1881. The Union Church erected in 1863 occupied the site of this old school. An old school still in existence and in a flourishing condition is Queen's College, formed by the amalgamation of three small Government schools and was originally known as the Central School.\n\nThe Canossian Institute, or Convent, has a local history going back to 1880, when six Italian Sisters arrived in Hongkong. They opened a day school and foundling home in St Francis Street, Wanchai, which still exists, and extended their work to branch institutions in different parts of the Colony from 1880 onwards. In 1900, a property known as \"Rosehill\" in Caine Road was acquired, and this was turned into the present Italian Convent.\n\nThe principal educational institution of to-day in Hongkong, the University, was opened in March 1912; but there was a nucleus of its Medical Faculty in the Hongkong College of Medicine, founded as far back as 1887, largely through the enthusiasm of Dr Patrick Manson, father of tropical medicine; and Dr Sun Yat-sen was one of the earliest graduates.\n\n### OLD BUSINESSES\n\nIt is interesting to recall the names of some of the earliest local taverns, such as the Crown and Anchor, British and American Inn, Fortune and War, Pilot Boat, Prince of Wales, Victoria Tavern, Neptune, and Bee Hive; all in business in the 'forties and to sense the appropriateness of the following verse on the sign of the Bee Hive Inn:\n\n\"Within this hive we're all alive, and pleasant is our honey:\n\"If you are dry, step in and try, we sells for ready money\"!\n\nThese names are redolent of the sailing ship days, and one cannot help regretting that reforms have abolished them, if only because such picturesque titles should have gone.\n\nOne of the developments that naturally enough followed the growth of the city was street lighting. The chronicles show that oil lamps were used to light the town; in 1857, no fewer than 350 such lamps came into use. The first gas lights were installed in 1864 when the original gas works were completed.\n\nElectricity came to the Colony in the 'eighties: in 1887, the local branch of the China and Japan Telephone Company (now replaced by the Hongkong Telephone Company, Ltd.) introduced electric lighting; and the Hongkong Electric Company was organised and sold the first electric lamps to the authorities. But telephones had arrived much earlier, for they were established here in 1882.\n\nWhile the business community were erecting godowns and office premises, Queen's Road and Wanchai were assuming the aspects of busy mercantile centres, several large trading concerns established themselves here. Some, like Lane, Crawford, Ltd., have endured.\n\nThe history of the electric telegraph system in the Colony goes back to 1845.\n\n## LANE & CRAWFURD\n### 1850-... \n### NOW, AS THEN, THE COLONY'S LEADING BRITISH STORE\n\nLane, Crawford, Ltd.  \nExchange Building, Hongkong.\n\n- 1941\n\nPage 13",

Germans thrown back from Leningrad; Finland likely to drop out of war. That would shorten front by hundreds of miles and greatly facilitate transport to Russia of British and American supplies. Already food situation in Finland is critical and feeling against Germans and their Finnish supporters rising steadily. Germans, for their part, aware of this unrest and of risks run by sixty-thousand German troops in Finland in event of separate peace, realise how vital it is for them to hold on to Leningrad.\n\nLeningrad has a normally large population for a beleaguered city. Its people are proud, and many who could have left before German encirclement made it a point of honour to stay on. Moreover, there are many refugees. In winter months, it has been possible to supply city with essential foodstuffs by lorry across ice of Lake Ladoga, but ice begins to melt about middle of March, and it is essential that Russians should securely hold at least one railway line and eventually relieve city altogether, says Correspondent. East of Leningrad, Germans have fallen back to their August positions, which are strongly fortified. Another immediate Russian objective is encirclement of Mozhaisk, sixty miles west of Moscow.\n\nRussian superiority in manpower is beginning to tell. Battle of Moscow was won largely by fresh troops, and vast new armies are in process of formation in Eastern Russia for spring offensive. They are being specially trained in tank destruction, as tanks are the weapon on which Germans chiefly rely. News that their output of tanks is being fully maintained is significant. Life in Moscow is gradually returning to more normal conditions. Food situation is moderate; satisfactory. With spread of large-scale agriculture to East in last decade, Russia is not dependent on Ukraine for its grain, and shortage of sugar and tobacco alone will be seriously felt. Ukraine accounts for over sixty percent of sugar production of Soviet Union.\n\n## MANCHESTER\n\nWhen Russian trade union delegation visited mill in Manchester area, which is engaged in producing war materials for Russia, they walked under waving Union Jack, hammer and sickle, and Stars and Stripes, which fluttered from mill window, to be greeted by cheers of eighteen hundred workers. A woman member of party, Madame Nikolayev, addressed workers, saying Russian and British wage-earners must cooperate completely. \"There must be no idle machines nor idle hands,\" she said. \"Russians are determined to fight violently and mercilessly. British people and American people must support their Governments in their policy of defeating Hitler.\"",

        "content_text": "3.\n\n5\n\nOne fundamental principle must be appreciated. In this Fisheries Organization there are two units.\n\n1.\n\nA FISHERIES DEPARTMENT with technical and advisory staff whose primary functions are research with a view to expanding the fishing industry and utilizing its products most advantageously - and benevolent supervision of the fishing fleet. This Department, being a Government Department, will have adequate votes from Government to cover staff salaries, buildings, apparatus, research, etc.\n\n2. A CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY with District Syndicates, a controlling Central Union and a wholesale Market. This Society has received a loan of $100,000 from Government which it will repay in a few months. The financing of this Co-operative is by means of a 6% commission charged on the wholesale auctions of fish.\n\nGovernment can have no claim on the income of this Co-operative once the loan has been repaid. Government cannot expect the Co-operative to finance the Fisheries Department which must be a Government responsibility.\n\nThe income from the Market after meeting salaries of staff and running expenses of the Co-operative will be utilized for the following purposes, amongst others\n\n1. Repayment of Government loan.\n\n2. Establishment of sales organization in Canton and other parts of China.\n\n3. Construction of garage and fitters' shop.\n\n4. Construction of stores.\n\n5. Construction of a cold store and ice making plant at the Kennedy Town Market.\n\n6. Building of District Syndicate headquarters at Aberdeen and Tai O and extensions at Cheung Chau.\n\n7. Construction of a cannery and fish smoking and curing station.\n\n8. Purchase of a collecting vessel with deep-freezing plant.\n\nAt the moment there is no hard and fast line between these two units and the second one is indebted to Government for the use of market, lorries, launches, etc., but it has delivered the goods and the services it has rendered and is rendering to the community justify Government's aid. The Director of Fisheries, as Chairman of the Central Union, will be in a position to interpret Government policy to the Co-operative and to exercise a supervisory control.\n\nIt is to be hoped that the Imperial Government will implement its decision, vide the Young Working Plan, to rehabilitate the fishing industry of the Colony, now at considerably less than half prewar strength. This rehabilitation can in part be carried out directly by the Fisheries Department in part by the Co-operative. It is clearly understood that should Government funds be administered by the Co-operative, complete supervision and control will be exercised by the Fisheries Department.",

        "content_text": "184\n\non the subject was being prepared by Mr. Meyer, the main purpose of which was to see whether there were any principles which could be laid down.\n\nLord Hailey said that the Union of South Africa had tried some very startling expedients in dealing with road-rail competition. In the Colonies many different expedients had been tried, and each Colony had tried to settle the question in its own way. A statement of the methods that had been tried in the different Colonies would be very valuable; one of the most useful things that could be done was to spread this knowledge so that each Colony knew what had been tried in the others.\n\nThe Chairman said that Lord Hailey had raised a question of vital importance. In spending the big sum of money which was being raised for colonial development it would be necessary to decide whether transportation should be regarded as a commercial profit-making proposition, or at least paying its way, or whether, as he thought, it should be regarded as a public necessity for the development of the country.\n\nGeneral Hone said that any study of the question would be very valuable, from the military point of view, in the reconstruction of Malaya. As a result of the war, it was realised more and more that the strategic value of railways was such that a change of policy, even in this country, was desirable.\n\nMr. Caine said that, assuming that a railway had a public value, strategic or developmental, which could not be covered by running it on the ordinary commercial competitive basis, a further question arose as to whether the public should pay for that value in its capacity as taxpayer or in its capacity as user of the railway: if the railway had to be subsidised, should that be done by restricting the competition of other forms of transport and maintaining the railway rates at a higher level than they would reach under competition, or should it be done by a definite subvention from taxation?\n\nThe Chairman observed that the London Underground Railways did not wait, as the Main Line Railways did, until traffic existed, but built railways where no traffic existed, knowing that the provision of traffic facilities would bring the traffic in the years to come.\n\nLord Hailey agreed that this was important. He had guaranteed to bear the loss on no less than eight railways in India when the railway authorities did not believe that there would be any traffic; but in fact he had had to pay only £1,000, because the traffic was forthcoming at once. There was another question, namely whether a railway should provide for the amortisation of its debt. Colonial practice was to raise money for railways on the principle that the debt had to be repaid and that therefore one had to allow for amortisation charges. That was not necessarily the practice where private equities were concerned. Perhaps Mr. Meyer might be asked to consider this question in his memorandum.\n\nMr. Caine said that that question had been discussed in the Finance Sub-Committee with regard to Colonial Loans. The Railways in this country assumed that their capital was never going to be repaid, whereas the average Colonial railway was financed under loans which had to be repaid in 20 to 40 years.\n\nLord Hailey said that in the interval the railway looked more like...",

        "content_text": "# ESCAPE FROM HONG KONG PEACE CONFERENCES\n\n(Continued from Page 3)\n\nAfter this I had no idea where I was to go, but as my escort boarded one of the buses I got on at the other off. At last we began to breathe freely but, to my disappointment, my escort got off and we only sailed across Three Fathoms Cove to another village called Sam Chung. Here we stayed for two days and nights and, as it was only one more day to Chinese New Year, we almost gave up hope of reaching Free China. Late in the afternoon of the sixth day after the start of my journey, however, we proceeded as far as Tong, and when my escort alighted I started to sail down Tolo Channel.\n\nNear the mouth of the Channel we anchored at about 10 p.m. We were then spent about the most uncomfortable night that I can ever remember. There were 17 people, with luggage, crammed into the small well at the stern of the junk. The floor space was approximately 36 square feet, so there was little more than 2 square feet per person. I think very few of us slept more than a few moments that night.\n\nAt the crack of dawn we were off again, and soon came in sight of the pretty islands at the mouth of Tolo Channel. At last we sighted Tap Mun, the island home of my mythical patient. Fortunately, I never had occasion to produce the letter summoning me to visit a hypothetical patient on Tap Mun island, and I started off in the wake of my guide who took the road which led towards Kai Tak airport.\n\nThe guide, who had been twice over the road, had already ascertained at what points Japanese sentries were posted, and at what times they changed guard. The guards at the entrance to the airport changed duty at 8 a.m. and it was planned that we should pass by at that time, when presumably the soldiers would be somewhat less intent on scrutinising the passers-by.\n\nThe plan worked perfectly, and the incoming guard marched past us a few moments before we reached the entrance to the airport. I was instructed, in a note handed to me by my second guide, to send a message to my friends after passing the island of Tap Mun in safety. I scribbled the following message on a piece of paper: \"Patient on island is well. Anticipate satisfactory progress.\" The star (*) was a pre-arranged signal indicating my name and continued safety. I handed the note to my guide, and over a year later learned that the message had been safely delivered.\n\nFrom Tap Mun we steered north-east across Mirs Bay towards Peng Chau Island and then almost due north to Sha U Chung. I carried a small watch-chain compass in my waist-coat pocket and, sewn into my inside parts, I had a map of the whole area, extending as far north as Kukong, which I had cut out of a Postal Atlas. These two things were of the utmost value during the rest of the journey, and I still count them among my most treasured possessions.\n\nLater we picked up a small sailing boat and made somewhat quicker progress. Two days before reaching Lulong I was able to send a telegram to the British Ambassador in Chungking telling him of my escape and asking him to inform my family in Australia, and at the same time to request my wife to cable out some much-needed money. On the way up we ran into two or three parties of men who had escaped from North Point and Shamshuipo camps and were delighted to make their acquaintance and to hear their stories. Some of them, I am glad to say, are back in Hong Kong again at the present moment.\n\nAfter reaching Lulong we felt, for the first time, that all risk was over. We had reached a point where motor transport was available and there was a well-made road leading to our immediate destination of Kukong.\n\nAt Lulong, we parted company. Marsman, Lavrov, and their remaining Chinese friend had an opportunity of travelling by private car to Kukong, so they went ahead. I proceeded by the somewhat more tedious transportation offered by a salt truck. It was my first experience of the devious methods necessary for obtaining the privilege of joining the crowded mass of humanity on one of these trucks, and I shall always be grateful to a young student of Lingnam University who initiated me into the technique.\n\n## Journey To Kukong\n\nOn the journey to Kukong was the inevitable breakdown of the boat and made somewhat quicker progress. Two days before reaching Lulong I was able to send a telegram to the British Ambassador in Chungking. The weather was extremely cold and there was actual snow on the hills above Sha U Chung. I felt very glad that I had sewn an old goatskin into my raincoat.\n\nWe passed through beautiful country, and some of it reminded me forcibly of parts of Surrey. If it had not been for the circumstances of our journey we could have imagined ourselves on somewhat strenuous walking tour.\n\nThe hospitality of the villagers was amazing. We met with nothing but the utmost kindness, courtesy, and generosity at their hands. We were robbed by a lone bandit, who robbed us each in turn of wrist watches, fountain pens, and money. I only lost my fountain pen; I had no money and my Rolex wrist watch was pushed above my elbow and covered by a bandage over skin painted with mercurochrome.\n\nMy time has already gone and I shall not attempt to tell the story of the Hong Kong University students in China, as that has already been told in full elsewhere. But I think there is no time to tell the story of the rest of my experience in ex-China.\n\n## Guide Turns Up\n\nOn the following morning my permanent guide turned up. I recognised him at once by the fact that he was carrying my suitcase and a bundle containing my Jaeger sleeping bag. For the rest of the journey, about 4 p.m. on the afternoon of the fourth day, there was a great commotion in the village. Villagers dashed about excitedly and soon gunboats had apparently come up from Hong Kong, and at last I was able to get into touch with friends whom I knew.\n\n## Reach Wai Chow\n\nWe reached Wai Chow after five strenuous days of walking and on the third day after leaving Lulong. It had taken me twenty days to complete the journey from Hong Kong.\n\n## Future of University\n\nUltimately some 346 Hong Kong University students, out of a total student body of about 600, made their way into Free China, of whom no fewer than 319 continued their studies at 17 different Chinese Universities.\n\nIn Chungking I went to see the British Ambassador, Sir Horace Seymour, and Mr Han Lih-wu, of the Sino-British Cultural Association. As a result of conversations with them, and with the Chinese Minister of Education, I returned almost immediately to Kukong, via Kweilin, carrying relief money for the students from British Government funds.\n\nThe addition of Marsman and his friends made the party six, and my plans had all been made on the assumption that a party of two could make good speed and would attract little attention. However, as things turned out, we had a very unpleasant experience during the second night. The guerillas and the crew of the junk slept on shore, leaving only the five of us who were refugees to sleep on the boat.\n\nAbout 3 a.m. I was awakened by the blinding light of an electric torch shining in my face and the barrel of a revolver pointed straight at my head. It was the first time I had been confronted with this particular type of situation and I must say one feels in rather a weak and essential position to be suddenly awakened out of a confused sleep to face such circumstances flat on one's back!\n\nThe lonely robber then dropped from the side of our junk into a waiting boat and was rowed away into the darkness.\n\nAt the Hosai Hospital I could literally say that I was penniless. I shall never forget the warmth of the welcome I received, nor the luxury of lying on a real bed again after sleeping for three weeks on bare boards, boat decks, and stone floors.\n\nAfter three hours I was taken up to the school on the hill and here, to my surprise, was ushered into a room where Messrs Marsman and Lavrov and two of their Chinese colleagues were waiting.\n\n\"No Impossible Problems In Pacific\"\n\n## FRASER IN AMERICA\n\nMr Fraser said he wanted such a conference immediately to follow the Paris Conference which would draft the peace treaty for the war in Europe.\n\n## SWORD SURRENDERED\n\nJapanese Commander At Malaya Ceremony\n\n### SERVICE CHIEFS PRESENT\n\nWashington, Feb. 25.\n\nOne of the highest-ranking Japanese officers in South-east Asia General Itakgaki, Commander of the 7th Area Army, embracing Malaya, Java, Sumatra, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and parts of Siam and Borneo, has formally surrendered to the General Officer Commanding in Chief, Malaya Command, General Messervy, at a ceremony at the Command Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, witnessed by a large gathering of Service chiefs.\n\nBe-ribboned, greying Itakgaki, at the head of a line of his staff officers, was marched onto the parade ground and halted between the lines of British and Indian guards to come to attention as General Messervy took up his position at a flag-draped table and called on him in a loud voice to surrender his sword.\n\nAt a slow, halting pace, the Japanese commander advanced to the table bearing his sword, encased in a colourful cloth bag tied with purple ribbon, and offered the sword across the Union Jack, after which General Messervy announced that the remaining 12 senior Japanese officers, headed by General Itakgaki, would hand over their swords to Brigadier C. P. Jones, C.B.E., M.C., the General's Staff Brigadier, at Malaya Command.\n\nMr Fraser foresaw \"no impossible problems in the Pacific. There will be problems, naturally. China has her many problems. There are other problems of organising the so-called trusteeships. There are also the economic and political problems concerning the stability of all Asia.\"\n\n## DANISH KING BETTER\n\nCopenhagen, Feb. 26.\n\nIt was officially announced today that King Christian's condition has improved.-United Press.\n\nPage 60\nPage 61",

General. The working conditions of this Department today are not comparable with those of the period prior to hostilities against Hong Kong, and therefore any attempt to use the year 1941 as a yardstick is entirely unrealistic.\n\nPerhaps the most striking of these differences are the introduction of the 8-hour day, the high cost of labour and fuel, and the fact that this small line of 36 kilometres is connected intimately with a large Continental Railway, the Canton-Hankow Line, for a total distance of 1275 kilometres, with all the delicate day-to-day negotiations, including a difference in currency, which such a union involves. It is true that the original connection was made in August 1937, but it then served a predominantly military purpose, commercial traffic being negligible.\n\n3. The meagre rail terminal facilities which existed at Kowloon before the war will soon be inadequate to deal with the traffic offering; they would already have been inadequate, but for China's currency exchange difficulties. Various schemes have been suggested, but an important omission in nearly all of them is the absence of a designated factory area on the mainland which the Railway could serve. Such a site is considered almost as important to the future development of the Colony as a whole as the effective clearance of cargo through the Port to and from the interior.\n\nThe final railway scheme must necessarily conform to the major plan for the development of the Colony, but the time has arrived for detailed plans to be prepared.\n\n4. The legacy left by the Military Administration to the Civil Control was a melancholy one so far as the Railway was concerned. With the exception of 12 locomotives and spares, some bridge girders, and token instruments, the Railway stores were negligible in quantity. No rails or rolling stock were received, and at the close of the year, only 6 of the locomotives had arrived, and these were not provided with... \n\n1 \n## Page 40",

The Act provides certain criteria for the purpose of determining what remuneration cannot be deemed to be unfair and in connection therewith requires the Court to also have regard to the provisions of collective agreement covering similar workers and the general level of remuneration of other classes of workers in the trade or industry to which the reference relates.\n\nIf the Industrial Court finds that the remuneration paid was unfair, it is required to fix the remuneration to be paid, which is known as \"statutory remuneration\" which applies not only to the worker by whom or on whose behalf the reference to the Court was made and his employer, but also to all other workers employed by that employer on the same work.\n\nIt will be seen that in all the above forms of statutory wage regulation, representatives of employers and workers in the industries concerned are directly associated with the wage fixing machinery. In the sense that the machinery provides every opportunity for consultation and agreement between employers and workers in the industry concerned it is modelled upon and permits of the adoption of methods closely approximating to those employed in voluntary collective bargaining.\n\nVIII.\n\nTHE \"FAIR WAGES RESOLUTION\" OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS OF 10TH MARCH, 1909.\n\nThe observance of the terms and conditions of collective agreements between organisations of employers and of workers or of agreements drawn up by the various forms of joint negotiating machinery, is to some extent, dependent on the strength of the organisations concerned to enforce such agreements.\n\nThe operation of the Fair Wages Resolution of the House of Commons of 10th March, 1909 in regard to Government contracts, and the wide extension of the principle it embodies by legislative and administrative action has tended to exert a considerable influence in the direction of the observance of such agreements.\n\nThe Resolution owed its origin to an agitation started in 1884 against public contracts being given to \"sweating\" employers, which led the Government to take measures to provide against \"sweating\" and abuses from sub-letting.\n\nIn its present form as passed by the House of Commons on 10th March, 1909, the Resolution reads:--\n\n\"That, in the opinion of this House, the Fair Wages Clause in Government contracts should be so amended as to provide as follows:- The Contractor shall, under a penalty of a fine or otherwise, pay rates or wages and observe hours of labour not less favourable than those commonly recognised by employers and trade societies (or in the absence of such recognised wages and hours, those which in practice prevail amongst good employers) in the trade in the district where the work is carried out. Where there are no such wages and hours recognised or prevailing in the district, those recognised or prevailing in the nearest district in which the general industrial circumstances are similar shall be adopted. Further the conditions of employment generally accepted in the district in the trade concerned shall be taken into account in considering how far the terms of the Fair Wages Clauses are being observed. The Contractor shall be prohibited from transferring or assigning directly, or indirectly, to any person or persons whatever any portion of his contract without the written permission of the Department.

It would be difficult to resist the argument that once the barrier has been put down in respect of Government officers, there is no logical reason why it should not be put down in respect of all practitioners.\n\nIt is therefore desirable that the full consequences of the proposed measure be faced and that the feeling of members of the two professions be ascertained (and, if possible, the views of the Bench).\n\nUnless the consensus of opinion be in favour of the ultimate fusion of the two professions in Hong Kong, it would not be advisable to apply the measure to professionals who happen to be in Government service.\n\nIn this connection it is assumed that the definition of \"legal officer\" is intended to apply to officers who are either barristers or solicitors. It would perhaps be better to make the position abundantly clear by adding the words \"and who is either a duly admitted barrister or solicitor\" at the end of the definition and deleting the words \"an officer appointed to the Colonial Legal Service as a legal officer or\".\n\n2.\n\nSubject to the foregoing remarks, the following points deserve further consideration:\n\nClause 2 of the Bill.\n\n(1) It is not understood why \"section 26\" is not mentioned in the penultimate line of definition of \"duly admitted\": section 26 deals with persons admitted as solicitors, etc., in Great Britain or Northern Ireland.\n\nThe definition of \"public body\" borrowed from Ordinance 39 of 1948 is perhaps too wide. The words \"or other body.....which has power to act under or for the purposes of any enactment in force in the Colony\" might include a body which has no connection with the central government or any local government body (for example the Board of Directors of the Chinese Christian Churches Union mentioned in Ordinance 22 of 1948). It is not without interest to note that the definition in section 6 of the Public Bodies Corrupt Practices Act, 1889, is not so wide.\n\nIt is suggested that the words \"or which has...in the Colony\" at the end of the definition be omitted or, if they are considered necessary, that they be replaced by some such words as \"or which has power to act in a public capacity under and for the purposes of any enactment in force in the Colony\".\n\nClause 3 (1) and (2).\n\nThe following alternative draft is suggested for consideration:\n\n(1) Subject to the provisions of sub-section (1) of section 4, Any legal officer shall in /respect\n\nge 10\n\nge 10\n\nPage 11",

The following is suggested:-\n\n\"Legal Officer\" means an officer appointed to, and serving in, the Colony as a Legal Officer, or an officer lawfully performing the functions of any of the offices designated in the Schedule to this Ordinance.\n\n(3) The definition of \"public body\" borrowed from Ordinance 39 of 1948 is perhaps too wide.

The following is suggested:-\n\n\"any duty conferred on, or any function or right exercisable or to be exercised by, the Attorney-General by virtue of any enactment in force in or applicable to the Colony;\"\n\n(\n\n1.",

Nor have we any such report in the case of the Malayan Union, where a similar measure was introduced at the beginning of this year. There are two further points to be taken into consideration:\n\n(1)\n(2)\n\nThe powers granted by the Hong Kong Ordinance are much wider than those in the Singapore and Malayan Union Ordinances. For example, in Hong Kong an armed guard can challenge and fire at anybody whom he reasonably believes to be about to enter a protected place, or who is reasonably suspected of having recently left such a place.\n\nIf a Chinese subject is wounded or killed by an armed guard in exercise of powers under the Hong Kong Ordinance, it is more than likely that the Kuomintang will make political capital out of it.\n\nAs regards the suggestion at the end of Sir Thomas Lloyd's minute, personally, I feel that we ought not to contemplate, or to legislate for, in this way, a return of the exceptional state of lawlessness which first gave rise to the measure. I suggest that the proposal should be definitely subject to the Governor being of the opinion that there is a definite possibility of a recurrence, at some time in the future, of the state of affairs which led to the enactment of the measure.\n\nI have put up an alternative draft to the Governor, which will, perhaps, meet the case.\n\n17.

He has not in mind an additional assistant Chinese Labour Officer.\n\nThe Governor endorses the suggestion that a European lady Assistant Labour Officer be appointed. We have been trying to keep Mrs. Allinson, who is so strongly recommended by Mr. Hawkins (see paragraph 9 of 2A), on a line, but it is, I think, over 15 months since she first applied for this post or alternatively a post in the proposed Social Welfare Department, and if we are to secure her (and she seems a most excellent choice), it might be worth getting Treasury approval of this post in advance of the others if there is likely to be any delay.\n\nI have not been able to obtain `file 41733` (Major Chauvin) referred to in paragraph 2(b) or 3, but I gather that the Governor is not in favour of appointing a Trade Union Adviser at present, although presumably he wishes the post to be included in the proposed establishment. Mr. Hawkins, when I saw him just before he returned to Hong Kong, felt strongly that because of the dangers of political control of the Trade Unions by the Kuomintang and the difficulty that is already experienced in combatting the activities of labour agitators from Canton, local Chinese experience was of more value at this stage than trade union experience in this country.\n\nProposals which we have recently received from the Governor for the establishment of a Municipal Council and the transfer to it of some of the functions of the central Government involve the recommendation that of 5 Chinese members of the Council to be nominated, two should be nominated by the Trade Unions. Since these would be the only direct representatives of the working classes (in view of the fact that a property qualification is proposed for the electorate from which the 10 elected Chinese would be drawn), those two nominated members will be important and, if they are to be as representative as possible, it would seem that some body (such as, I gather, does not at present exist) will be necessary to co-ordinate the various trade unions. I mention this proposal because it is likely to increase the importance of the trade unions.\n\nResearch Department will no doubt comment on paragraph 2(c) on the question of whether statistical staff should be employed in the Labour Department or in a Central Statistical office to which the Labour Department might refer.\n\nSubject to comments on the points raised above and to the general view of Social Services Department, I agree with the Governor's proposal and seek Treasury concurrence.\n\nRicket...\n\n30.12.46.",

Establishment of a separate Labour Department and change of title.\n\n## Staffing of Labour Department\na) Senior Officer.\n\n2. I had the opportunity of meeting Miss Hinder when she visited Hong Kong and of discussing labour problems with her. In general the recommendations under consideration reflect the substantial agreement attained by us as a result of these discussions and such modifications as I may now suggest will be concerned mainly with points of detail.\n\n3. I fully agree that the time has come for the Labour Department to \"bud off\" from the S.C.A. and to be established as a separate department under the control of a senior officer and I consider that, in the circumstances, the title of the head of department should be changed from Labour Officer to Commissioner of Labour, which is in line with the practice in other Colonies.\n\n4. I am of the opinion, however, that the department should continue a close liaison with the S.C.A. and I recommend that the Labour Department Offices should be established in the same building as the S.C.A.\n\nMiss Hinder points out that there is considerable labour legislation which will have to be enacted in the near future. In particular Trade Union Registration and Workman's Compensation Ordinances are badly needed. The drafting of these Ordinances will entail a considerable amount of preparatory work and their administration (especially Workmen's Compensation) will throw a great deal of new work of a most responsible nature on to the shoulders of the Head of the Department. Furthermore, until proper machinery for joint negotiations between employers and workers has been firmly established it will be necessary for officers of the labour department to do a lot of work in connexion with industrial disputes, not merely as conciliation officers (conciliation work will of course be a continuing function of the department) but as adviser to both sides, go-betweens, and impartial chairmen of the early meetings of representatives, so as to ensure that negotiations are properly conducted and confidence in this method of settling disputes is firmly implanted. Ultimately it is to be hoped that the services of the Labour Department will only be required when all the usual forms of joint negotiation have failed and a deadlock has been reached but for some considerable time to come the assistance of the department will be sought by both sides \"ab initio\" and in the case of the more important industries it will be desirable that this assistance should be given by the C. of L. personally or by an officer of almost equal status and experience.\n\nI am of the opinion also that it is of the greatest importance to secure continuity of policy in the Labour Department and that it is most desirable that the officer who acts as head of department during the absence of the substantive holder should be a man with",

        "content_text": "CHINA \n\nMAIL \n\n28.9.50 \n\nLABOUR SITUATION IN HK REPORTED HEALTHY \n\nThe labour situation in Hong Kong remains healthy and nothing is likely to arise in the near future to provoke dissension, a survey of the industrial scene yesterday revealed. Despite the recent closure of an old-established rubber factory and the resultant dismissal of over 1,000 workers, unemployment figures show no indication of soaring beyond the normal ratio for this season. The survey disclosed that this rubber factory's closure was an exception rather than the rule, and was not indicative of a general business depression. No other factory of importance has followed its example, and the local rubber industry as a whole is bearing well in the face of a world-wide increase in the price of natural rubber.\n\nA portion of the dismissed workers of the factory concerned has already found new employment. Personal hardships are being encountered by the remainder, but their union is understood to be making efforts to rehabilitate them as soon as possible.\n\nThe survey showed. Amusement parks are operating at great loss, night-clubs often do not make enough to cover musicians' salaries. Restaurants no longer cater to the huge crowds they did a year ago, and the hotel business — after an era of lucrative intake — has returned to normal operations.\n\nThis is all attributed by the people concerned to the return of refugees from North China, and to the abandonment of the reckless spending spree which featured life in the Colony immediately after liberation.\n\nBecause the entertainment business thrived under abnormal conditions and catered to a clientele made up largely of aliens, the survey showed that its decline does not imply a recession of the local industry as a whole. The mainstay of Hong Kong's commercial health remains unimpaired.\n\nThe conciliatory attitude of the management in this case helped to reduce industrial tension when the closure was announced, and no dispute of importance arose as a result. Negotiations are still proceeding for the full resumption of this factory.\n\nOf labour unrest there is no sign. Government action in deporting troublesome union heads has borne fruit, and agitation is virtually non-existent.\n\nAccording to information from several sources, unemployment is ceasing to exert a profound influence on the labour situation because many worker-refugees from Communist China are returning to their native places.\n\nThousands of them came here last year when the civil war engulfed South China. Many of them found employment locally, but the larger percentage had nothing to do. When it became evident that Hong Kong's absorption had reached saturation point, they started to return. This movement reached momentum recently when Communist money appreciated in terms of foreign currencies and the Jen Min Piao was stabilised.\n\nCotton mills continue to produce shirts and singlets and are seeking new markets in the South Seas and the Commonwealth. The establishment of an Indonesian Consulate here has accelerated the flow of local goods to Java and Sumatra, and this market is being explored as an alternative to China, where restrictions are hampering trade.\n\nMill circles are discussing the decision reported to have been reached by the owners of the Hong Kong Cotton Mills, Limited, to transfer the entire works and staff to the Philippines in view of the uncertainty of Hong Kong's future.\n\nThe Hong Kong Cotton Mills Limited was established three years ago at a site on Castle Peak Road by a Shanghai mill-owning family. Mill hands were brought to the Colony from the North, and the factory itself was run along modern lines. It is air-conditioned throughout.\n\nThe survey disclosed that negotiations have been going on for some time to transfer the entire factory to Manila, but difficulties have arisen over the question of Filipino visas for the 1,000-odd mill hands now employed.\n\nIn the aluminium flask industry, business is progressing satisfactorily, and one such factory is reported to be making a substantial turnover in selling such flasks in England. At the recent British Industries Fair, orders were contracted for a large supply of these Hong Kong flasks.\n\nBritish buyers found them on a par with the English variety, although the cost of the local brand was reduced by half. In this connection, factory owners explained that the quality of their product could hardly be any different from English flasks because identical materials and machinery are used here.\n\nMuch optimism prevails. The survey showed that in no line of industry has expansion taken place recently, but conversely, cases of contraction have been rare. The tendency of Hong Kong industry as a whole is to pursue a policy of containment — which means that unless a world crisis develops, the present status quo will be indefinitely maintained.\n\nIn management circles, a large measure of optimism continues to prevail, but business heads invariably agree that boom-conditions have largely vanished and will not return for some time. The capitalists are sitting on their assets, and investment on a large scale will not ensue while the Chinese political situation remains fluid.\n\nCertain businesses are beginning to suffer, but these as a rule have nothing to do with industry as such.\n\nIn the real estate trade, for instance, a definite recession has set in. Large blocks of flats along King's Road remain vacant because at last supply exceeds demand in the matter of housing. Key money as a flourishing racket is largely a thing of the past; high rentals are also toppling, and circles in the know are freely predicting that before long rentals in all areas will return to pre-war levels plus the inflationary percentage now regarded as normal.\n\nIn the entertainment world, business is definitely bad, the survey showed.",

        "content_text": "117.\n\nIn order that there should be a clear line of demarcation as between the functions of the Registrar of Trade Unions if and when this office is divorced from the Department of Labour, and the functions of the Labour Officer in the Department who is concerned with trade union development, I have suggested that a directive be given to the latter, the details of which are set out in Appendix 15.\n\nV TRADE UNION FEDERATIONS\n\n118.\n\nIt is impossible to approve of the form of organisation or the activities of the two so-called \"trade union federations\" and the Government's action in refusing to recognise these bodies as trade union organisations is justified on factual and policy grounds if not on legal grounds. The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions has given some recognition to the Hong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council and the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions has an indirect connection with the World Federation of Trade Unions through the Chinese Communist Party.\n\n119.\n\nQuite clearly the objectives of both these federations are not those of normal trade union federations and neither is by any means representative in character. They have no common occupational or industrial basis and any policy they endeavour to impose on their affiliated unions is almost invariably designed to achieve some objective decided on by the few leaders.\n\n120.\n\nThe welfare of the workers appears to be a secondary consideration with both of them. In the instances when either of these bodies has participated, either directly or indirectly, in a strike or negotiations, they have merely prolonged the strike or hindered a settlement. Their leaders are completely out of touch with the workers in the majority of the affiliated organisations and are quite unable to discuss matters with most employers with the requisite knowledge of the work or operations in the industry or occupation concerned despite their confidence in their ability so to do.\n\n121.\n\nTheir very existence has hampered the development of good industrial relations and certainly their methods have lent some justification to the attitude of many employers in refusing to negotiate with affiliated unions. In addition, the split in representation which is due to these semi-political organisations has weakened the strength of the unions and delayed the building up of organised collective bargaining.\n\n122.\n\nMany employers are of the opinion that if they negotiate a settlement with a union without the Federation's participation, it is likely to be repudiated. If, on the other hand, they bring in one of the federations, the rival federation will criticise any agreed settlement if one can ever be achieved in such circumstances. There is some justification for this attitude.\n\n123.\n\nNeither federation is anxious to take the lead officially, despite their protestations to the contrary, and prefers to stay in the background making suggestions or stirring up trouble as such action suits their purpose.",

        "content_text": "APPENDIX I.\n\nExtract from the report of H. R. Butters Esquire dealing with the history of the trade union movement in China up to 1939.\n\nThe full report entitled \"Labour and Labour Conditions in Hong Kong\" was issued as Sessional Paper No.3 of 1939).\n\n1\n\nChina has an estimated population of 450,000,000 and is the largest reservoir of labour in the world. For centuries it enjoyed the benefits of a stable civilization without hereditary aristocracy of castes, where the scholars became the rulers as the result of a competitive examination, as administrative officers were once chosen for the Eastern Colonies, and the subordinate classes were the farmers, artisans, and merchants, in that order. Laissez-faire was exalted to the principle that the government governs best that governs least, and Confucius inculcated that social order depends on every man knowing his place and acting accordingly.\n\nIt is estimated that at least three quarters of this population live a hand-to-mouth existence and the average individual wealth is about one five-hundredth that of a citizen of the United States of America. The population is mainly agricultural, but flood, famine, and war have driven increasing numbers into the industrial labour market. Ancestor worship, the maintenance of the male line and the belief that of all unfilial things the greatest is to have no posterity, led to over-population which made Dr. Sun Yat Sen exclaim \"At present China is suffering from over-population which will bring impending danger in its wake. How are we to appease the hunger of swarming millions?\" Families are large and the standard of living low. Uncurbed procreation with the inability at times to support the offspring has led occasionally to infanticide in the case of female infants and more frequently to their sale as \"mui-tsai\". This problem will be referred to later.\n\nChina has been described as not a state but a society, and the Chinese as a familial and not a political animal \"Society being merely the family writ large.\" The family as the basis of society has not been inappropriately referred to as a communistic unit with \"Do what you can and take what you will\" as its guide. This accounts for the ability of the individual both in China and Hong Kong to survive periods of distress in the absence of poor relief, unemployment benefit or old age pension. Devotion to the family at the sacrifice of truth, justice, and loyalty to the state bred the vices of nepotism and corruption. China had many moral philosophers but no metaphysicians.",
