EXPORTATION OF TINNED LARD UNDER COVERNMENT GUARANTEE,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

1st May, 1908. SIR-I am directed to transmit for the consideration of your Chamber the enclosed copy of a memorandum by His Excellency the Governor and to ingaire whether any merchant in the Colony is prepared to attempt the export under Government guarantee of tinued lard-I am, de,

F. H. MXT" Colonial Secretary, a | Memo." In the course of conversation with Dr. Musgrave (who had been deputed by the Philippine Government to visit Hongkong early in December last in order to inquire into. the question of epizootic diseases among cattle exported from this Colony to Manila) allasion was made to the large market for this product Ameris, both thore and in the United States of

but that by a reent" Pure Food Act "it was compulsory that the tinned laed should have a Government guarantee. This he said was supplied with the lar imported from Australia, and though the Hongkong lard was both better and cheaper, it was probable that it would be extiraly ousted by Australian beozass of this guarantee, and that the latter would also capture the American market. Dr. Musgrave I think added that lard from. Hoihow and Australia would be superseded by Hongkong lard if the latter have a Government guarantee. This appeared to open a prospect of a new and very promising industry, which would consist of buying up the fat of pigs locally slaughtered and also parohasing in China and preparizg it artanen with Government-requirements and so exporting it under Govorament guarantes.

A letter was in coosequinge ahiressed to the Australian Government inquiring what were the demands of the Government before a guarantee was issued. Tho Comptroller Ge- neral's reply la attacked.

Before pursuing this subject further I stond like to know whether any merchant here is willing to embark in this trade. If so I will write to the Government of the Philippines. and point out that according to the letter from the Comptroller General no guarantee is issued by the Australian Government, and regnest information as to what was meant by Dr. Musgrave in his allusion to a guarantee. It is meant (as I suppose) that the manufacture of.. lard is subject to the regulations referred to in the Comptroller General's letter, I will enquire whether, if these regulations are adopted by an exporter here, there is a prospect that Hong kong lard woukl Sad a large market in the Philippines. Although the Government issued no cortificata of parity it would be feasible for the Government to see that the regulations were observed by inspections from time to time, and by ncunsional analysis of samples and this wond probably be all that the Philippine Government require,
