STATUS OF CONSULS IN HONGKONG

TO THE EDITOR or the "Honaxora Teleorarii,"

• Dear Sir,—In your account (published last night) of the funeral of my countryman Mr. P. Marty, I notice a serious mistake concerning the few words I said at the cemetery. I spoke in the name and on behalf of the French community of Hongkong and of sobody else and I beg you to be kind enough to have this point made known in your next issue.

There was another mistake made, The Consular Corps could not be present at the ceremony, as there is no such thing in Hong kong as a "Consular Corps.” › Thøre are Consuls," all independent ons from the other and boving the same sights and the same stand attending the funeral.
