The CHAIRMAN.Did you sign that document ?
A. Yes.
Q.-And it was interpreted for you by Mr. Ho Fook ?
A. Yes.
Q-Does it contain your views?
A. Yes.
The CHAIRMAN.-I don't think it is within the province of this Committee to ask how he got this document drawn up. Here it is duly signed, surely that is enough.
Honourable Ho KAI.-I think that perhaps Mr. WHITEHEAD wants to know whether it was a member of this Committee who did it.
The CHAIRMAN.-Then why has'nt he the pluck to say so, if that is what he is insinuating. Let him speak out if he means to say that some member of this Committee has drafted that document. Is that what you mean to say?

Honourable Ho KAI.-If any member of the Committee had done it, I think he would say so.
There are only Mr. LOCKHART and myself who could have done it, as we are the members who see most of them.
This concluded the evidence of this witness.
Honourable T. H. WHITEHEAD intimated that he had several witnesses he wished
to call.
The Committee adjourned sine die.
