REGE 2 OCT 18
(Received Colonial Office 4.19 p.m. 1st October 1918.)
With reference to your telegram and
September bonus. It is found impracticable to frame
equitable rules for giving effect to condition No. 6.
Impossible to define warwork. Shortness of staff due to
war has led in certain cases to overtime and
multiplication of duties remuneration for which has
been given in different ways such as acting pay under ordinary rules, monthly allowances, bonus, increase of salary. A cadet in the imports and exports department gote part of his remuneration in the form of allowance
from war vote whereas in another office he would have
the same remuneration under the ordinary rules. With
regard to work not connected with official duties
it is difficult to for example distinguish between
Doctor Lecturing at University and Schoolmaster who is allowed private tuition under terms of appointment. Unofficial members of Legislative Council concur with

similar cases of Mrs. Purden, dealt with in the Crow Agents'

There appears to be no ground for com- -plaint. I attach copies of the only correspondence cognate to the subject, together with a copy of a letter received from
Commodore Gurner. Commodore Sandeman's letter of the 30th.
November, 1917, to which Commodore Gurner refers, related to
certain delay in the work of an official member of the

With reference to the Commodore
No. 024 of the 16th. June, 1917, I am directed to inform
you that the Harbour Office is open until 4 p.m. on
Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Sundays and
holidays, during which hours an European Officer is always
in attendance.
The Shipping Office at the Sailors' Home
is in telephonic communication with the Harbour Office, so
that if some short notice is given, arrangements can be
made to sign on crews or to make out the necessary arteles
without delay.
All entering, clearing, and issuing of
Sunday Working Permits is done at the Harbour Office. The
First Boarding Officer, Mr. Molver, lives over the Harbour
Office, so that if any urgent matter should arise outside
of office hours, he can be communicated with, either by
telephone No. 50 or by letter, when he will deal with the
matter or if necessary apply to the Harbour Master for
instructions.
I am to request that the Naval Authorities
will give the earliest information possible to the Harbour
Office of prospective arrivals of vessels during Sundays
and holidays.
The Secretary to the Commodore,
Hongkong.
I am, etc..

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
Your Excellency's letter No. 1024/1917 of 23rd. September regard- -ing complaints made by my predecessor, Commodore Sandeman, in regard to difficulties experienced in communicating with Your Excellency's Government on Sundays and holidays on matters of importance, and beg to inform Your Excellency that beyond the reference given in your ter, there are no other records of the
matter having been officially represented to the Colonial Govern- -ment, except perhaps in paragraph 3 of the late Commodore's
letter No. 0241/49 of 30th. November, 1917, addressed to His
Excellency the Officer Administering the Government, when the
duties and formation of the Vital Requirements Committee were
being discussed,
In view of the above and in further reference to
Your Froellency's letter, it would appear probable that the
letter addressed to the Secretary of State for the Colonies by the Admiralty was the outcome of a verbal communication made to
the Admiralty by the late Commodora on arrival home.

Referring to Sir Henry May's Despatch
No. 266 of the 10th. September, I have the honour to forward the enclosed copy of a memorandum by the Colonial Treasurer, which was prepared by him after perusal of the Despatch.
I have the honour to be,
Your most obedient,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
WALTER LONG, M.P.,
MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE. Rrat 30 NOV 18
1. The points in favour of my contention that Widow's pensions in
England are payable at the rate of the day when exchange is over 3/- are as follows:-
Gou 76 45 44 straits
(a) In the Secretary of State's despatch No, 170 of the
27th. August, 1897, the grant of the 3/- rate at a time when the Dollar was much under that rate is referred to as an "Act of Grace" and in the resolution passed by the Legislative Council (which was based on the terme of the despatch) the words "the difference........being made
38387602
good out of the revenue of the Colony" occur.
The fixing of the 3/- rate was not therefore in any sense a matter of bargain between the Government and the pensioners.
Again it cannot be contended that Ordinance No. 15 of 1908, (by which the Government took over the Fund) with- draw any of the privileges of the pensioners which had been granted by Ordinance No. 30 of 1890,
Now had Ordinance No. 15 of 1908 never been passed it is obvious that the pensioners would have been drawing their pensions at the rate of the day, supplemented up to the 3/- rate by Government out of revenue when neces- Bary. No one could justify the suggestion that they would have still continued to draw at 3/- and that the profit on exchange would have been paid into Revenue, when the rate of the day exceeded 3/-
I accordingly hold that the law morally (as well as literally) ordains the payments to be made at the rate of the day.
(c) Any argument based on reference to the circumstances of
officers on sterling salaries must be obviously irrelevant| when it is remembered that the Secretary of State's despatch was written in 1897, long before the existence

of that class was contemplated and in any case such argu- ment partakes of the nature of a "dog in the manger".
If the widows on sterling pensions are suffering that is a matter for separate consideration.
2. In the matter of the various rates 3/-, 3/8 and 4/- for leave salaries and pensions of officers, a ruling of the Secretary of State is also needed.
Arguing from the fact that pensions when paid in the Colony are paid in dollars, I am inclined to think that these rates were originally laid down as "guaranteed minimum rates".
There is nothing illogical in the contention that officers and pensioners should get the benefit of the rate of the day when it is recollected that the chief reason for the so called rise in exchange is in fact the diminished value of the gold
currency.
Again, any reference to Sterling Officers is irrelevant: the above rates were fixed long before any such class was contemplated.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 8th. October, 1918.
I have the honour to transmit for your consideration a plan, showing, cross-hatched in red, a small area on the Northern Boundary of the New Territory which it was recently proposed to lease for reclamation and building.
When the matter came to be considered by
the Executive Council under the Foreshore and Sea Bed Ordi- -nance, 1901, some considerable doubt was expressed as to whether the Colonial Government had any right to interpose any further reclamation between Chinese Territory and the sea; and it has been found impossible to arrive at any solution without a reference to the map annexed to the Convention of 9th. June, 1898, by which the New Territories were leased to Great Britain.
Neither the original, nor any copy of
this map exists at present in this Colony, and I am advised that, since the Convention was ratified in London in August, 1898, the original of the map is in all probability among the Colonial Office records. If this be so, I should be glad to have an accurate copy of the map, together with any instruct- -ions that you may wish to give in connection with the propos- -ed lease.

Signed at Peking, June 9, 1898.
[Ratifications exchanged at London, August 6, 1898.]
WHEREAS it has for many years past been recognized that an extension of Hong Kong territory is necessary for the proper defence and protection of the Colony,
It has now been agreed between the Governments of Great Britain and China that the limits of British territory shall be enlarged under lease to the extent indicated generally on the annexed map.
The exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been made by officials appointed by the two Governments. The term of this lease shall be ninety-nine years.
It is at the same time agreed that within the city of Kowloon the Chinese officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction except so far as may be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong. Within the remainder of the newly-leased territory Great Britain shall have sole jurisdiction. Chinese officials and people shall be allowed as heretofore to use the road from Kowloon to Hsinan,
It is further agreed that the existing landing-place near Kowloon city shall be reserved for the convenience of Chinese men-of-war, merchant and passenger vessels, which may come and go and lie there at their pleasure; and for the convenience of movement of the officials and people within the city.
When hereafter China constructs a railway to the boundary of the Kowloon territory under British control, arrangements shall be discussed.
It is further understood that there will be no expropriation or expulsion of the inhabitants of the district included within the extension, and that if land is required for public offices, fortifica- tions, or the like official purposes, it shall be bought at a fair price.
If cases of extradition of criminals occur, they shall be dealt with in accordance with the existing Treaties between Great Britain and China and the Hong Kong Regulations.
The aren leased to Great Britain, as shown on the annexed map, includes the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay, but it is agreed that Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise, shall retain the right to use those waters.
This Convention shall come into force on the first day of July, eighteen hundred and uinety-eight, being the thirteenth day of the fifth moon of the twenty-fourth year of Kuang Hsu. It shall be ratified by the Sovereigns of the two countries, and the ratifica- tions shall be exchanged in London as soon as possible.
In witness whereof the Undersigned, duly authorized thereto by their respective Governments, have signed the present Agreement.
Done at Peking in quadruplicate (four copies in English and four in Chinese) the niuth day of June, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, being the twenty-first day of the fourth moon of the twenty-fourth year of Kuang Hsü.

REG, 30 NOV 8
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 8th. October, 1918.
I have the honour to confirm my telegram
of the 3rd. October relating to the death of Mr. Frederick
Alan Biden, 2nd. Grade Executive Engineer in the Public Works
Department.
Mr. Biden had been for some time in a poor
state of health. He suffered continually from a serious
kidney complaint, and on several occasions during the past year had been a patient in the Goverment Civil Hospital for this reason. After his discharge from the hospital he took
short leave of absence, but soon after his return became much
depressed, and this appears to have affected his mental
balance very considerably.
It would probably be a matter of comfort
to his relatives to know that Mr. Bideo, who was a Company
Sergeant Major in the Hongkong Defence Corps was given an
impressive Military Funeral, which was attended by a large
and representative gathering.
On account of his mother's age and the
desire of his personal friends here to conceal from her, if possible, the fact that his death was self-inflicted, I strong -ly recommend that the actual cause of death should not be
communicated to her. She is well aware of his recent illnesses

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 9th. October, 1918.
With reference to the Governor's telegram
of the 10th. November, 1917, regarding the Tanderages property
1 at the Peak, I have the honour to report that Sir Henry May,
immediately prior to his departure from the Colony, arranged that the rent which I pay for the house as Colonial Secretary
should be remitted while I hold the office of Officer
Administering the Goverment.
The circumstances are that the weather is
not yet sufficiently cool to make it convenient for me to reside at Government House, though I propose to go there shortly; and in the meantime a transfer of residence from Tanderages to Mountain Lodge at the Peak did not suit my private arrangements.

PHRASE TELEGRAM from the officer Administering the Government of
Hong Kong to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. (Received Colonial Office 1.24 p.m. 11th October, 1918.) 62
In reply to your cypher telegram of the 5th of
October Stabb reports that he could not agree to the export of any silver dollars as he is convinced that no justification
would exist for the undoubted risk which would be involved in
such action not to the Bank only but also to the general trade of this Colony. He reports that the situation in
Shanghai is considerably easier for the time being. Some time ago it was found necessary to (?) prohibit the export of dollars under heavy penalty in order to conserve the silver reserve in Hong Kong and any departure from this policy would be disastrous. Silver has been shipped by Japanese Banks from Shanghai to Japan, and the remedy would apparently belie
in the temporary prohibition of the export of silver from

py.of letter to six Charles Addis Hongkong & Shanghai Okg. Cserpine London.
fom Hongkong Bank, Hongkong.
igust 30th, 1918.
Hongkong. 30th August, 1918.
My dear Addis,
I enclose copy of your telegram of the 28th inst. (aent thro' the Govt.) re note issue together with copy of my reply. The suggestion to ship away 10 million really took my breath
away and such a transaction would lead to a real disaster.
note circulation is not confined to the Colony but supplies the
currency for the whole of South China and if the reserve was re- duced by shipping away silver coin, leaving only $5 million in
our Treasury, the result would be a lack of confidence in our
notes, the effect of which would be far reaching and disastrous.
In fact our notes would descend to the level of those of the
Bank of China. It is due to the strong cash reserves we always maintain that our notes rank so high and I personally would not
countenance any reduction whatever in the Silver Reserve held
against notes it could not be justified even in such an emer-
gency as war finance. As a matter of fact I should very much
like to have another $30 or $ 40 lace of silver coin in my
Treasuries. For a Bank like ours a cash balance of 40% of o/a
Liabilities is none too high. As pointed out in the telegram
a shipment of $ 10 million would only have a temporary effect
and when that wore off we might be in a very unpleasant position
with a large note issue and very little silver against it. At
any rate it is a position I have no intention of getting into.
The monetary situation here is quite satisfactory but so long as
Shanghai keeps in an excited position it is not possible to get
to an effective tael level of par with the Mexican dollar nor is
it even desirable to do so, especially with Shanghai exchange
some 12% above the parity of the fixed price of silver. Par with
Shanghai dollars cannot be reached until Shanghai is fully or
over supplied with cash.
As mentioned in my telegram, it would be an ad
vantage to have the option of covering the excess issue by
Hongkong & Shanghai Why Curpn. London:
depositing securities instead of dollar for dollar at times. It
is doubtful if we should have to avail ourselves of the privilege
but it is conceivable that an occasion might arise when trade was
active and money in demand where our note circulation became
inflated and we could not obtain the necessary Silver to deposit
against the increase. Under such circumstances permission to
deposit securities would enable us to meet the demand without
curtailing facilities and bringing trade to a stop temporarily.
I would recommend that a limit be placed on the amount of the
excess issue to be covered by securities, say $ 3 or 4 millions
and such facility should be subject to the special sanction of
the Hongkong Government on each occasion.
What I wired about the Treasury Chest Officer's require-
ments is clear enough and I should think it would suit the Govern-
ment to supply the silver and save themselves some 10% on their
present monthly finance. * 8 lace is what they require monthly
in Shanghai and in the absence of Silver shipments we may not
be able to handle it all for them and without our assistance there
is no saying what rates they may have to pay.
The local requirements are not so great but, if they
provided them thro' Shanghai by shipping silver, they would save
considerably and the troops would benefit correspondingly by get-
ting a lower sterling rate for their pay.
Sir Charles Addis,
Yours very truly,
N.J.Stabb.

A.E.Collins, Esq., C.M.G.,
Colonial office,
Hongkong & Thanghui Pkg. Corpon : London:
Copy of letter from the Chief Manager, Hongkong Bank, Hongkong, to Sir Charles Addie. September 19th, 1918,
My dear Addis,
I enclose copy of your telegram of 14th inst., also of my reply of date on the subject of exporting Silver dollars from Hongkong to Shanghai.
Personally I should refuse to consider such a suggestion well realising the disaster to which it would lead and I am glad to say my views are very strongly backed up by the Hongkong Govern- ment.
As an instance of Chinese sensitiveness I would mention
that a couple of years ago when we shipped a fair amount of coin to India, it was rumoured amongst Chinese that the British Govt. were hard up and had to take the funds of the H. & S. B. C., the
result being withdrawal of deposits in Bangkok and an uneasy feel- ing re Bank notes in Swatow and South China generally. Our Note
issue is the sheet anchor of the H. & S. B. C. and of the whole of
the South China trade and any tampering with the cash reserve
would be nothing short of criminal folly. The consequence of any
loss of confidence in Hongkong currency would reach far beyond the
confines of this Colony and be a real disaster to British interests
in the Far East. In any case the stock of dollars here is by no
means excessive and I consider that we should not have too much if
the balance was $ 50 lace higher. I am quite certain that anyone
fully acquainted with conditione in these parts would strongly
endorse my opinion.
Apart from the above considerations there
Hongkong & Shanghai Pkg Burpen: London.
nothing in such a transaction to make it attractive even were it
not dangerous. At beat it would mean a small immediate profit
and leave me without any means of replacing the coin in case of
necessity. The dollars would melt in Shanghai at Tls.71 per
quantity $100 and to import ́any/from Shanghai could probably not be done
under 75 and it is doubtful if any large amount of Mex. dollars
could be secured in any case. British and Mexican dollars are
the only coins legal tender here. The former can only be ob-
tained by minting in India (heavy shipping expenses and 2%
seignorage) and the latter are getting scarce, so the Colony
might be left without any means of obtaining currency.
The contention that the Authorities cannot ask the U.S.
to supply silver to China so long as we have a Reserve of $150
lace against our Note issue is truly Judicrous. There is no
real surplus mf stock of coin here in fact our holdings should
be higher than they are all things considered. Shanghai must
look elsewhere than to Hongkong for silver. I hope you will do
your beat to remove the false idea that we have too much silver
coin in the Colony as nothing could induce me to ship away any
coin under existing conditions; to do so would be pure madness.
It is very satisfactory to note that in case of necessity
any temporary increase in the circulation can be covered by
securities in London so long as we have say $100 lacs deposited
with the Government. Although agreed to by the Home Authorities
it might be necessary to have the ordinance altered as at present
it calls for dollar for dollar in the case of excess issue, i.e.
Hongkong & Phunghai Toky Corpn. London.
the circulation is over $15 millions.
However I do not want to
change the ordinance at present and in case of urgency the Hongkong
Government would no doubt take the responsibility of granting the
concession subject to approval from the Home Government should
the occasion arise.
Yours very truly,
N.J.Stabb.

Dear Grindle,
Thank you for sending me an advance copy of the Hong Kong answer about Tin. We shall receive it officially through the usual channels presently, and I suppose our reply will have to go that way too, but in the face of the Governor's earnest request that the Rubber & Tin Committee will licence all applications for export to Chine up to the 18th October, I have written Mr.Grebby, Secretary of the Rubber & Tin Committee, to-night suggesting that they should not wait before considering these applications for licences.
As regards the Governor's query as to whether Japan, China and Portugal are included in the Inter- Allied Tin Executive, the answer is that the Japanese Authorities in London led us to expect that Japan will aign the agreement, but that we do not consider it necessary to bring in Portugal and China, as the small quantity of fin required by these countries can be sufficiently controlled by means of export licences:
Meantime I would say that we have completed our arrangements for appointing Jardine Matheson & Company our Agents in HongKong. I take it it is hardly necessary to wait to hear further from the Governor before setting them to work.
