THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 4, 1921.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

No. 41.-The Honourable Mr. H. E. POLLOCK, K.C., has given notice of the following questions:--

1. Will the Government state what is the reason for the delay in commen- cing work on the erection of Government houses and flats on the "Homestead" site at the Peak?

2. What steps does the Government propose to take with a view to putting up the Old Post Office site for sale by auction? What is the objection to such site being put up in four or five lots in order to meet the requirements of would-be purchasers?

3. Referring to the recent statement of the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies in the House of Commons (in answer to Colonel John Ward, M.P.) to the effect that the Secretary of State had suggested to H.E. the Governor of Hongkong the formation of a strong local Chinese Committee to look after adopted children and servant girls, will the Colonial Secretary inform the Council what steps the local Government are taking in the matter?

to which the following are the replies:-

1. The site came into the possession of the Government on the 1st April, 1920, and after some discussion it was decided in July to place the whole work of development in the hands of a private firm of architects. Sketch plans were submitted early in September and after amendment were finally approved on the 3rd December. Detailed plans and drawings are in course of preparation and a contract for the erection of the houses will be let shortly. There has been no avoidable delay in the matter having regard to the importance of developing this valuable site to the best advantage.

2. It will probably be decided to put up the land for auction in several lots. The question of the best method of sub-dividing the whole area is at present receiving consideration. At a later stage the Members of the Public Works Committee of this Council will be asked to give their opinion on the proposed laying out.

3. The Government is taking action on the lines suggested by the Secretary of State, but it would be premature to publish any details at present.

ANGLO-GERMAN MIXED ARBITRAL TRIBUNAĻ.

The following announcement is made by the Board of Trade :----

The Mixed Arbitral Tribunal to be established between the United Kingdom on the one hand and Germany on the other hand under Article 304 of the Treaty of Versailles has been constituted and is about to begin work in London. The President of the Tribunal is Professor Eugène Borel, a Swiss jurist and Professor of Public and Inter- national Law in the University of Geneva. The British and German members are respectively Mr. R. E. L. Vaughan Williams, K.C., of Lincoln's Inn, and Dr. jur. Adolph Nicolaus Zacharias, Senatspräsident of the Hanseatic Oberlandesgericht.

A great part of the work of the Tribunal is to decide as to debts under Article 296 of the Treaty where a difference has arisen between an enemy debtor and an enemy creditor or between the British and German clearing offices. Under Article 297 the Tribunal can determine compensation to be borne by Germany in respect of damage or injury inflicted on the property, rights or interests of British Nationals in German territory as they existed on August 1, 1914, by the exceptional war measures or measures of transfer mentioned in the Annex to that Article. The other matters within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal are set out in Articles 299, 300, 302, 304, 305 and 310 of the Treaty.

The Procedure before the Tribunal is to some extent regulated by Sections III. to VII. of Part X. of the Treaty, but the Tribunal has settled further and more detailed rules dealing with the manner in which claims must be submitted. Printed copies of these Rules of Procedure, which have been issued in the Series of Statutory Rules and Orders (No. 2062), may be purchased, price threepence; through any bookseller, or may be obtained on application to the Secretariat of the Tribunal. They should be read in conjunction with the provisions of the Treaty of Peace Order, 1919 (Statutory Rules and Orders, 1919, No. 1517, published by H. M. Stationery Office. Price 2d.)

The British Government has provided a Court for the meetings of the Tribunal, and an office for the Secretariat at 21, St. James's Square, London, S. W. 1. Mr. Harold Russell, Barrister-at-Law, has been appointed by the Foreign Office to act as British Secretary and the German Government is also appointing a Secretary, the two to act together as joint Secretaries of the Tribunal.

(c) It shall be the duty of the respective Government Agents to inform the Tribunal if they have grounds for believing that the jurisdiction of the Tribunal is excluded.

REPLY AND REJOINDER.

Except in such cases, no reply shall be allowed.

If the Respondent desires merely to deny the facts alleged in the reply it is not necessary for him to present a rejoinder, but if the Respondent wishes to answer the facts alleged in the reply otherwise than by way of denial, a rejoinder must be presented to the Tribunal within thirty days from the receipt of the reply by the Respondent, who shall with the rejoinder supply six copies to the Tribunal. The Secretariat will acknow- ledge the receipt thereof to the Respondent and will transmit one copy of the rejoinder to the Claimant and one copy to each of the Government Agents.

Except in such cases no rejoinder shall be allowed and no further written proceed- ings after the rejoinder shall be allowed, other than the written argument provided for by Rule 28, except by special leave of the Tribunal.

The provisions of Rule 6 shall apply to the reply and to the rejoinder.

JOINT CLAIMS AND JOINDER OF PARTIES.

16. Where two or more persons are jointly interested in the same claim, they shall present a joint claim, and where the relief sought is sought against two or more persons jointly, the claim shall be made against them jointly.

17.-(a) If the Respondent contends that any person not joined as Claimant ought to be so joined in accordance with the preceding rule, he may within twenty days of receipt of the memorial send in, in duplicate, a notice to the Secretariat naming such person and requiring the Claimant to join such person as Claimant and stating the reason why he requires such joinder. The Secretariat will forward such notice to the Claimant, who shall within thirty days from the receipt thereof state whether he consents to and will effect such joinder, in which case all proceedings shall be stayed until it is effected, or whether he refuses or is unable to effect such joinder, stating his reasons for such refusal or inability.

(b) If the Claimant consents to and is willing to effect such joinder, the written. consent of the person to be joined shall be sent to the Tribunal within twenty-one days, and the Secretariat shall thereupon amend the memorial by adding the names of such person as Claimant, and notice of such joinder will be sent to the Respondent and the Government Agent of the Claimant and Respondent, and all further proceedings shall be continued as if such joinder had been made from the commencement.

(c) If the Claimant fails to answer the notice as provided by Rule 17 (a) or refuses or states that he is unable to effect such joinder or if the written consent is not sent as provided by Rule 17 (b), notice thereof shall be given by the Secretariat to the Respon- dent, who may within ten days apply to the Tribunal to stay all proceedings until such joinder be effected. The Secretariat shall give notice of such application to the Claimant, and such application shall be heard by the Tribunal on a date to be fixed by the Tribunal not less than fourteen days after notice of such application has been sent to the Claimant.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 18, 1921.

18. If the Tribunal is satisfied that any person refuses to join as Claimant, although he ought to join, the Tribunal may allow the case to proceed without such joinder, but in that case the Tribunal may refuse to entertain any claim in the future by such person with respect to the subject-matter of the claim in the presenting of which he ought to have joined.

19. If any person proceeds against some only of the persons jointly liable to him on the same claim and the Tribunal decides the case whether in favour of or against the Claimant, the Tribunal may refuse to entertain any claim in the future by such person against the other person or persons so jointly liable.

20.-(a) If a Respondent contends that some other person who is not joined as Respon- dent is jointly liable with him to answer the claim, he may within twenty days after the receipt of the memorial send a notice to the Secretariat that he requires such person to be joined as Respondent, giving his name and address, and stating the reasons why he requires him to be joined; and with such notice shall send a sufficient number of copies to enable the ecretariat to send one to the Claimant and to each of the persons whom the Respondent requires to be joined. The Secretariat will thereupon send such notice to the Claimant and to each of the persons named by the Respondent, and the Claimant and each of the said persons shall reply within ten days whether they consent to such joinder or not. In the event of the Claimant and each of such persons consenting to the-- joinder, the Secretariat will amend the memorial by adding them as parties, and the Claimant shall cause copies, of the memorial to be served on each of such persons, and all future proceedings shall be continued as if such joinder had been made from the

commencement.

(b) If either the Claimant or any of such persons do not consent to the joinder within ten days, the Secretariat shall notify the Respondent accordingly, and the Res- pondent may within ten days apply to the Tribunal to stay all proceedings until such joinder be effected. The Secretariat shall give notice of such application to the Claimant and such other person or persons, and such application shall be heard by the Tribunal on a date to be fixed by the Tribunal not less than fourteen days after notice of such application has been sent to the Claimant and such person or persons as aforesaid.

　　　　21.-(a) If any person not being a party claims to have a legitimate interest in prosecuting or resisting the claim, he may apply to the Tribunal to be joined as claimant or respondent as the case may be, or to be allowed to intervene in the case in such manner as the Tribunal may direct.

may

　　　　(b) If a Respondent contends that he is entitled to some right over against some other person in reference to the claim brought against him, he may give such person notice of his claim against him and at the same time serve him with a copy of the memorial. Such person may thereupon apply to the Tribunal to be joined as Respon- dent or to be allowed to intervene in the case in such manner as the Tribunal direct. If such person does not intervene and the Tribunal should be of opinion at the hearing that there are grounds for coming to the conclusion that the Respondent may succeed in his claim against such person, the Tribunal may, if it decides in favour of the Claimant, stay execution in order to enable the Respondent to prosecute his claim against such person upon such terms as to security and otherwise as the Tribunal may think just.

SPECIAL RULES FOR PARTICULAR CASES.

　　　　22. In addition to the above general rules, the following rules shall be observed in the under-mentioned cases :--

(1) Cases under Article 305.

　　　　The person alleging that he is prejudiced by the decision shall be the Claimant and the other party to the cause or proceeding in which the decision was given or, if there be no such party, the Government shall be Respondent. The claim shall be accompanied by a copy of the decision and shall state in what respect the decision is impugned, with which Section or Sections of the Treaty it is alleged to be inconsistent and in what respect and what relief is claimed. The Claimant may also accompany his claim by copies of any essential written proceedings of the case in which the decision was given, authenti- cated in the manner prescribed by the law of the country to which the Court belongs. The Tribunal may of its own motion require the record of the Court to be transmitted to the Tribunal and it shall then be open to the inspection of the parties and their agents.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 18, 1921.

(2) Appeals under Article 296, Annex, paragraph 20.

The Appellant shall be Claimant, and the party in whose favour the decision was given and the two clearing offices shall be Respondents. The claim shall state the grounds. of the appeal and shall be accompanied by a copy of the decision appealed against and of all documents in the possession of the Claimant relevant to the case, and by a reasoned argument by the Claimant in support of his appeal. Together with the claim and documents, three copies thereof shall be supplied to the Tribunal, and the Claimant shall serve copies thereof on the opposite party and the Agents of the two clearing offices.

The Agent of the clearing office of which the Respondent is a national shall within thirty days of receipt of the claim supply to the Tribunal four copies of all documents. relating to the case which are in his possession or power, unless the Claimant has already supplied them with his claim, and a statement of any facts found by the clearing offices. In addition, the Respondent or the clearing offices may supply a reasoned argument in writing in support of the decision of the two clearing offices.

Any of the parties (including the Agents of the clearing offices) may apply to the Tribunal to hear arguments before it, but in the absence of such application the Tribunal shall be at liberty to determine the case on the written proceedings without further argument, or to notify to the parties if it desires to hear an argument.

--The Secretariat on receipt of the claim shall inform the Claimant what is the amount of deposit to be paid or security to be given, and such deposit shall be paid or security given within ten days, and in default the claim may be dismissed.

(3) Cases under Article 296, Annex, paragraph 16.

　　　Where cases are referred to the Tribunal under the above provision, the procedure laid down elsewhere in these rules shall not apply. The parties shall present a case jointly to the Tribunal, or each may present a case separately. In either event the contentions of the parties shall be set out in the case or cases, which shall be accompanied by all relevant documents. Six true copies of the case or cases and documents shall be prepared and lodged with the Secretariat. The matter will be determined by the Tribunal as laid down by Article 296, Annex, paragraph 18. The limitations of time. imposed by these rules shall not apply to such cases; but where the two clearing offices are unable to agree whether a debt claimed is due, or in case of a difference between an enemy debtor and an enemy creditor or between the clearing offices, and the parties to the dispute do not desire to present a case jointly, either clearing offices may, within ten days after given notice to the other clearing office of such intention, refer the case to the Tribunal under the conditions provided for by Article 296, Annex, paragraph 16. The enemy creditor or the enemy debtor may similarly, after giving twenty days' notice to the two clearing offices, refer the case to the Tribunal, unless the case shall have been referred to the Tribunal meanwhile by the clearing offices or either of them. The case shall proceed as if it had been referred to the Tribunal by the clearing offices.

CLOSE OF WRITTEN PROceedings.

　　　23. The Secretariat will inform the respective Government Agents and parties when the written proceedings are closed.

　　　24.-(a) Within twenty days after the date of the notice that the written proceedings are closed, the parties shall send to the Secretariat a statement of the witnesses, if any, whose testimony they desire, giving in each instance the name, nationality, occupation and address of such witness, and stating whether the party desires that the testimony of such witness shall be given at the hearing of the case or whether it is desired that the evidence shall be taken upon commission, and shall at the same time furnish all parties. and the Government Agents with a copy. The Tribunal will thereupon determine whether the evidence shall be taken on commission or will make such other order as seems fit. The Tribunal will before making an order hear any party or Government Agent who may desire to be heard on the matter on his forthwith applying to be heard, and will fix a date for all parties to be heard if they desire.

　　　(b). Where the Tribunal orders that the witness shall be heard at the hearing, the Government agents shall be responsible for summoning the witness in accordance with the method applicable in each case unless the Tribunal otherwise directs. Travelling expenses and subsistence money must be supplied to the witness at the expense of the party at whose instance he is summoned. The amount of the same will be fixed by the

54 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 18, 1921.

Tribunal, and must be paid in advance to the Secretariat. If the subsistence money so paid should prove insufficient, the party at whose instance the witness was summoned must pay any further amount necessary, otherwise the witness will be allowed by the Tribunal to depart.

(c) Where the Tribunal directs that evidence shall be taken on commission the evidence shall be returnable to the Tribunal and copies shall be supplied by the Secre- tariat to any party or either Government Agent or any other person interested, and in the opinion of the Tribunal entitled to the same, on application and payment.

(d) Where it is desired that books, documents or other objects in the possession or power of any person should be produced for the use of the Tribunal, application may at any time after the close of the written proceedings be made to the Tribunal to obtain their production. The Tribunal will thereupon, if it thinks fit, endeavour to obtain possession of such books, documents or other objects by direct request addressed to such person, and, if such request is not complied with, will take such other steps as may be requisite and desirable to ensure production. Books, documents or other objects so coming into the custody of the Tribunal shall, if the Tribunal thinks fit, be open to inspection by such persons and at such times as the Tribunal shall direct.

25. Should a party or either of the Government Agents desire to inspect any books or documents in the possession, power or control of any party or of either Government Agent, he shall make application to that party or Agent to produce such books or docu- ments for inspection; and if such production is refused, application therefor may be made to the Tribunal upon ten days' notice being given to that party or Agent, and the Tribunal may make such order thereon as it thinks fit.

26. The Tribunal may of its own motion at any stage of the proceedings require evidence on any point.

27. The Tribunal may of its own motion at any stage of the proceedings require any party or either Government Agent to produce any book or document before it, or to allow any person designated by the Tribunal to examine and take extracts from any book or document in the possession of such party or Agent.

28. If in cases other than those under Article 296 any party or either of the Government Agents desires to submit a reasoned argument in writing, he may do so at any time after the written proceedings are closed, and not less than ten days before the date fixed for the hearing of the case, but such argument in writing shall be based only on facts alleged in the memorial, response, reply or rejoinder.

The submission of such written argument shall not preclude the parties or Agents submitting it from also adducing oral argument. The Tribunal reserves the right, if it shall think fit, to require in addition oral argument in cases where only written argument has been submitted.

29. The President will on the conclusion of all preliminary matters fix the date and the place of hearing, and the Secretariat will inform the respective Government Agents and parties of his decision.

30. The hearing shall be in public, and the parties shall either by themselves or by counsel or other recognised advocate present their cases. In cases connected with patents the parties may by leave of the Tribunal be represented by patent agents and Patentanwälte. Unless otherwise ordered, the Claimant shall begin and have the right of reply.

31.-(a) The parties shall have the right themselves to give evidence, and shall, if required by the Tribunal, do so. Each party may call such witnesses as he pleases before the Tribunal and may question them by himself or his counsel or admitted representative. Each party shall have the right to question any witness called by the other party (including the opposite party himself) whether before the Tribunal itself or elsewhere, by himself or by counsel or other admitted representative.

If the party who does not call the witness questions him, the party who has called him may thereupon put further questions to the witness on matters arising out of the questions put to the witness by the other party. Unless the Tribunal shall otherwise order, no further questions shall be put to the witness by or on behalf of the parties. The Tribunal, however, will at any stage put any questions that it may think fit:

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 18, 1921. 55

　　　Provided always that a party to a case shall not be summoned or compelled to give evidence unless the Tribunal shall have given leave for such witness to be summoned or to give evidence or unless the Tribunal shall have required of its own motion that such party shall attend and give evidence.

(b) No oath shall be required from or administered to any witness before the Tribunal or on any Commission ordered by the Tribunal, unless the Tribunal otherwise directs.

　　　32. The Tribunal may at any stage of the proceedings obtain a report from any person on any particular point, such person to be agreed upon by the parties or in default of agreement to be appointed by the Tribunal. The Tribunal may view any premises, locality or object if it deem such a view necessary.

　　　33. If any party fail to appear, the case may be proceeded with in his absence, but the Agent of the Government of such party may intervene and himself take up the case, and the Tribunal may on the application of such Agent or on its own motion adjourn

the case.

　　　34. It shall be permissible for either Government to conduct the case of its national through its Agent, and such Agent may appear either in person or by counsel or other recognised advocate. Either Agent may also appear independently of the parties by himself or by counsel or other recognised advocate, and may intervene in the proceed- ings in such manner and at such time as the Tribunal may direct.

out as regards two European Policemen being stationed at out-stations?

5. In view of the fact that the Chamber of Commerce has recently received many complaints concerning the efficiency of the Fire Brigade service, more particularly afloat, and that there is a general feeling that it is not properly equipped for dealing with a serious harbour conflagration, will the Government at once appoint a Commission or Committee of enquiry into the year and administration of the Fire Brigade?

7. Will the Government introduce a Bill to amend section 26A of the Offences against the Person Ordinance, 1865, (which was introduced by Ordinance 9 of 1913) by inserting the words "medical aid" after "clothing" in the clause defining neglect of children and young persons, in order to bring the law of the Colony in this particular respect into line with the law of England, i.e., s. 12 (1) of the Children's Act, 1908 ?

8. In view of the fact that, in 1917 and 1918, many months of repeated representations by the Government and the Naval and Military Authorities and the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce and the China Association were required in order to obtain Exchange Com-

FOREIGN OFFICE,

July 20th, 1920.

SIR,

　　　1. It being the desire of our respective Governments to establish close commercial relations between the United Kingdom and Esthonia, I have the honour to inform you that, on condition of reciprocity, Esthonian nationals and goods, the produce or manufacture of the territories of Esthonia, will enjoy unconditionally in the territories of His Britannic Majesty treatment at least as favourable in all respects as that accorded to the nationals and goods, the produce or manufacture of the most favoured foreign country. This treatment shall be accorded in all matters of commerce and navigation as regards importation, exportation and transit, and, in general, in all that concerns customs duties and formalities and commercial operations; the establishment of Esthonian subjects in the territories of His Britannic Majesty, the exercise of commerce, industries and professions and the payment of taxes.

　　　2. Esthonian vessels will enjoy in the ports, rivers, and territorial waters of the territories of His Britannic Majesty treatment not less favourable than that accorded to British vessels, or to vessels of the most favoured foreign country; subject, however, to the right of the British Government to reserve the coasting trade to British vessels.

3. His Majesty's Government further undertake, on condition of reciprocity, to accord freedom of transit to persons, goods, vessels, aircraft, carriages, wagons and mails in transit to or from Esthonia over the territories of His Britannic Majesty, including territorial waters, and to treat them at least as favourably as British persons, goods, vessels, aircraft, carriages, wagons and mails, respectively, or those of any other more favoured nationality, origin, importation or ownership, as regards facilities, charges, restrictions and all other matters.

4. The foregoing stipulations will not be applicable to India, or to any of His Britannic Majesty's Dominions, Colonies, Possessions or Protectorates beyond the seas, unless notice of accession to this arrangement shall have been given on behalf of India or any such Dominion, Colony, Possession or Protectorate by His Britannic Majesty's representative at Reval before the expiration of twelve months from this date. Never- theless, goods, the produce or manufacture of India or of any of His Britannic Majesty's Dominions, Colonies, Possessions and Protectorates, will enjoy in Esthonia complete and unconditional Most Favoured Nation treatment so long as India or such Dominion, Colony, Possession or Protectorate accords to goods, the produce or manufacture of Esthonia, treatment as favourable as that accorded to the produce of the soil or industry of any other foreign country.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MARCH 18, 1921.

　　　　5. The above arrangement will have effect as from the date of this note, and will remain in force unless and until either of our respective Governments has given notice to the other of its intention to terminate it. In that case, it will remain in force until the expiration of six months from the date of such notice.

As regards India and the British Dominions, Colonies, Possessions and Protectorates, which may have acceded to this arrangement in virtue of the provisions of paragraph 4, either of our respective Governments shall have the right to terminate it separately on giving six months' notice to that effect.

　　　And Whereas the Governor in Council has deemed it advisable that an enquiry should be instituted, made, and conducted into the conditions of the industrial employment of children in Hongkong, and the desirability and feasibility of legislation for the regulation of such employment.

　　　Now I, Sir REGINALD EDWARD STUBBS, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, hereby appoint you :-

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

101

　　　No. 118. The Honourable Mr. H. E. POLLOCK, K.C., has given notice of the following questions: --

1. Has the Government yet received Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice's Report on the Development of the Harbour? If not, has the Government any, and if so, what information as to when it is likely to receive such Report? Will such Report be laid upon the Table of this Council?

2. Has the Government or has His Excellency the Governor forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies any communication or communications from any person or persons or body of persons with reference to Constitutional Reform other than the communications received by the Government from the Constitutional Reform Association? If the answer to the above Question is in the affirmative, will the Government lay such communication or communica- tions upon the Table of this Council?

3. Has the Government received any communication from the Secretary of State for the Colonies to the effect stated by him in answer to Colonel John Ward, M.P. in the House of Commons (as telegraphed from London under date the 22nd February and published in the local papers) namely, that it has been decided not to make any change in the principle or mode of selection of the Legislative Council of this Colony? If so, will the Government lay such des- patch from the Secretary of State upon the Table of this Council?

4. For how long has the Government been aware that it was feasible to place cars containing 60 persons each on the Peak Tramway without alteration to the present points? Will the Government state what objections, if any, exist to the introduction of such larger cars on the Peak Tramway?

to which the following are the replies:-

1. As a number of plans have to be examined by Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice, some of which are not yet ready, it will probably be some time before any report is received. The question of publication will be considered on the receipt of the report.

2. The Governor is the only channel of communication with the Secretary of State for the Colonies. The nature and extent of the Governor's correspon- dence with the Secretary of State on this or any other subject is a matter between themselves alone. Questions such as this cannot therefore be answered.

As already stated it is not proposed to lay any papers on the subject of Constitutional Reform.

3. The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The decision of the Secretary of State has been notified to the Constitutional Reform Association with whom the correspondence originated.

The Secretary of State's despatch is confidential and cannot therefore be laid on the table.

4. The Government has never at any time had any reason to suppose that the position of the present points has any bearing on the question of the size of the cars.

The objection to increasing the size of the cars is understood to be that entirely new machinery would be required, but the Tramway Company would be better able than is this Government to answer the latter part of the question.

No. 157.-The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry held on the 31st March, 1921, to enquire into the circumstances in connection with the stranding of the British Steamship Hong Wan I, is published for general information.

FINDING.

We find that the British S. S. Hong Wan I, Official No. 73866 of Singapore, of which J. S. LIDDELL (Certificate of Competency No. 477, New Zealand) was Master, left Amoy with cargo and passengers at 5.15 p.m. on January 28th, 1921, en route for Swatow.

On January 29th, at 3.20 a.m., the Good Hope Cape Light was sighted bearing N. 83° W., and course was then altered to N. 83° W. At 4.5 a.m. Green Island was sighted on the starboard bow, and the course was altered to place Green Island one point on the port bow, and speed reduced to six knots. It was then observed that ship was making considerable leeway. Port helm was ordered and the ship struck the Shoals Eastward of Green Island. Engines were put astern and the ship floated after a few minutes, but owing to her making water fast, the Master decided to beach the ship, which he did in the Bay to the West of Green Island where she still remains. The Court is of opinion that the stranding of the ship was entirely due to the careless navigation of the Master, in view of the fact that no attempt was made by him to keep Good Hope Cape Light on a safe bearing which simple procedure would have averted the casualty.

　　　In view of this fact, the Court orders the Master, Mr. J. S. LIDDELL'S certificate to be suspended for two years, but grant him a First Mate's certificate during that time.

Given under our hands at Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, this Thirty-first. day of March, 1921.

With reference to Government Notification No. 479 published in the Gazette of the 10th of October, 1919, it is notified that as a result of an agreement made in 1919 by the Governments of the Allied and Neutral Powers, through their representa- tives at Peking, to prevent the supply of arms, ammunition and munitions of war of every description to China, measures were taken by His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking to prohibit any person, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person of whatever nationality, from importing into or exporting from China, or any Concession, Settlement or Leased Territory in China, or buying, selling or dealing in, or entering into negotiations for the sale of purchase of or other dealings in, arms, ammunition and munitions of war of every description, excluding sporting weapons and ammunition therefor. An exception was made in the case of transactions authorized by a written licence granted by His Majesty's Minister.

The attention of the public is drawn to the fact that these measures are still in force and that no licence will be issued for the export from longkong to China of arms, ammunition and munitions as described above, unless the Government is satisfied that His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking has issued the necessary import licence.

HARBOUR MASTER'S DEPARTMENT.

Protection of Life and Property in the Harbour during Typhoon Weather.

　　1. When there are immediate prospects of the weather conditions becoming so bad as to place the Native Craft in the Harbour in danger of being unable to make shelter on their own account, a Red Ensign will be hoisted at the Harbour Office indicating that two Naval Tugs will be available to assist to tow such craft to shelter.

　　2. These Naval Tugs will fly the Red Ensign at the masthead and will proceed down to the Central and Southern Fairways to the limit of the shipping, and all mercantile or private craft which desire to avail themselves of a tow to shelter should be ready with their ropes to be taken in tow as the Tugs return.

3. All craft will be towed towards Yaumati Refuge.

　　4. If the wind is blowing from the Eastward, assistance to the shipping at the Western end of the Harbour will be rendered first.

　　5. Native Craft are not to depend on these Tugs entirely but should endeavour to make shelter on their own account, as early as possible.

　　6. The Naval Tugs will be used only in emergency, during the hours of daylight, and on no account will they be used for this work after dark.

　　7. No responsibility for damage done during towage will be taken by the Govern- ment or by the Naval Authorities.

8. Towing charges will be made in accordance with the following scale :---

While Red Signals are hoisted. 1/20 of

Annual Licence Fee.

While Black Signals

are hoisted

4 of

Annual Licence Fee.

While Black Cross

is hoisted.

of Annual Licence Fee.

Thus, a first class Passenger Boat, Licence Fee $12, would have to pay :---

1.- $0.60.

2.--$3.00.

3.-$6.00.

A Cargo Boat of 600 to 700 piculs, Fee $30, would have to pay :-

1.-$1.50.

2.-$7.50.

An "Other Boat", Fee $5, would have to pay :-

　　No. 244.-The following Finding of the Marine Court of Enquiry held on the 11th May, 1921, to enquire into the circumstances in connection with the stranding of the British Steamship Hong Moh, is published for general information.

27th May, 1921.

CLAUD SEVERN,

Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

　　We find that the British S.S. Hong Moh, Official Number 85,862 of Singapore, of which HENRY WILLIAM HOLMES Number of whose Certificate of Competency is 2,279 Hongkong, was Master, left Hongkong on the 2nd March, 1921, for Swatow and Amoy with crew numbering 48 and through passengers from Singapore numbering 1,135, maximum draft was 22 feet 6 inches. She arrived off Swatow about 9.30 a.m. on March 3rd but the draft of the ship was too great to cross the bar so the ship proceeded towards Amoy but owing to persistent representations by the Swatow passengers the Master decided to return and anchored in the vicinity of Bill Island off Swatow and signalled for a pilot to take the ship in to Swatow. A pilot came off and informed the Master that it was impossible to do so on account of the ship's draft. At 5.30 p.m. on March 3rd, the S.S. Hong Moh weighed anchor and stood down to the South and when in a position about 1 or 2 miles North-East or East-North-East of the Good Hope Cape the course was set S. 85 E. by compass, the compass having 1° Easterly deviation, speed 9 knots increased to 10 knots at about 6.30 p.m. The weather was strong North-Easterly wind, rough sea overcast cloudy and visibility not good. It is not clear from the evidence whether the Master intended to pass :-

(1.) South of the Boat Rocks.

(2.) Between the White Rocks and High Lammock Island. (3.) To the North of the High Lammock Island.

If he intended to pass South of the Boat Rock, the wrong course was set. If he intended to pass between the White Rocks and High Lammock Island, we are of opinion that the passage would have been dangerous and undesirable, in view of the weather conditions. and low visibility. If he intended to pass North of the Lammocks Light, the course should have been altered at a safe distance from the Lammocks Light, the course was not altered and the vessel struck the North-West point of the White Rocks at 7.20 p.m. on March 3rd. After the vessel struck, the weather became worse and at 3 a.m. March 4th the vessel broke in two. We are of opinion that after the stranding the Master and Officers did all that was possible to assist the passengers. The sea was too rough to launch boats. At 9 a.m. on the 4th March, the S.S. Shansi of 1984 tons was sighted and closed the Hong Moh and stood by till p.m. on the 5th. The sea was too rough for boat work, though this was attempted by the Shansi. We are of opinion that the Shansi did all that was possible under the circumstances, picking up all the Officers, some of the crew and a few of the passengers who had jumped overboard and drifted passed the Shansi. Many were drowned in attempting this. The Master was drowned while attempting to swim from the Hong Moh to the Shansi. The Shansi then proceeded to Swatow, with about 45 survivors on board, with a view to getting further assistance. We consider the S.S. Shansi's decision to proceed to Swatow where she hoped to obtain further assistance, was a wise and proper thing to do.

　　Distress Signals were sent up by the Hong Moh after stranding and a steamer was sighted distant 2 to 3 miles. This steamer signalled by Morse Lamp. No answer could be made by the Hong Moh as her dynamo was out of action and the oil signal lamp was of insufficient power. This unknown steamer did not stand by but proceeded on its course. Other steamers were sighted by day on the 4th and 5th and on the night of the 4th March at various distances from the Hong Moh, none passing close. None of these steamers closed the Hong Moh or offered assistance. Only in one instance have we any evidence that any of these steamers sighted the wreck and in that case we have been unable to call the Master.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, MAY 27, 1921.

227

The S.S. Shansi reported the wreck on arrival at Swatow at about 6.45 p.m. on March 5th. The British Consul was informed. The Agents of the Hong Moh were informed. The former advised S. N. O. Hongkong and requested assistance. The latter sent out a launch on the morning of the 6th.

H.M.S. Foxglove on passage from Shanghai to Hongkong, when 50 miles to the N.E. of the Lammocks intercepted a Wireless Telegraph Message from H.B.M. Consul, Swatow to Commodore in Charge, Hongkong, reporting the disaster and asking for immediate assistance. Foxglove shaped course for the Lammocks and arrived in the vicinity at 10.30 p.m. on 5th March, there was no sign of the wreck in the dark. At daylight on the 6th March, H.M.S. Carlisle, which had been ordered from the Pesca- dores by the Commodore, Hongkong, arrived and the two ships carried out rescue work under great difficulty and at 5 p.m. Foxglove left for Hongkong, owing to coal shortage and engine trouble, with 48 survivors on board. On the 7th March, H.M.S. Carlisle continued the rescue work throughout the day and when darkness set in the rescue work went on by aid of Carlisle's searchlights. At about 8 p.m. Captain E. R. G. R. EVANS, C.B., D.S.O., R.N., H.M.S. Carlisle swam to and boarded the wreck and thereby encouraged and assisted the remaining people on board to gain the boats lying off from the wreck. This went on till about 11 p.m. when the operation was abandoned for the night.

At dawn on the 8th March, the Carlisle's boats again closed the wreck and as no sign of life was seen to exist, the Carlisle left the vicinity for Hongkong with 220 survi- vors on bo d.

　　　　A small boat attached to the Lammocks Lighthouse was observed to render assist- ances by taking people from the adjoining rocks.

Finding.

　　　　We find that the cause of the casualty was the faulty nature of the course set and kept, which as explained above was either wrongly set or wrongly chosen or wrongly continued.

We desire to record the persistent effort at rescue made by the British S.S. Shansi during the 4th and 5th March.

The Court are of opinion that had vessels passing in the vicinity and in sight of the wreck previous to the Shansi's arrival, closed the wreck and ascertained whether it was practicable to render assistance, and if not, reported by Wireless Telegraph or proceeded to the nearest port and reported the casualty, many more lives would probably have been saved.

The Court take this opportunity of recording the prompt assistance sent by the Commodore, Hongkong, the speedy arrival of H.M.S. Foxglove and H.M.S. Carlisle on the scene of the disaster, the skilful handling of the ships, the bravery, endurance, and seamanship displayed by the boats' crews of the said ships and especially the heroic action of Captain E. R. G. R. EVANS.

Given under our hands at Victoria, in the Colony of Hongkong, this 11th day of May, 1921.

No. 266.

　　Regulations made by the Governor in Council under section 4 of the Stamp Ordinance, 1921, Ordinance No. S of 1921, on the 9th day of June, 1921.

1. The stamp duty on bonds to secure the payment of estate duty referred Estate Duty to in section 11 (2) of the Estate Duty Ordinance, 1915, shall be at the rate of Bonds. 20 cents for every $100 or part thereof of the amount secured, provided that the maximum amount of stamp duty chargeable on any such bond shall be $20.

2. Sub-heading (7) of Heading No. 29 in the schedule to the Stamp Amendment Ordinance, 1921, is amended by tlie deletion of the following words in the third of Heading column of the said schedule:--

10 cents for every $500 or part thereof of the principal sum secured.

and by the substitution therefor of the following words :-

Where the whole of the principal sum secured is released or discharged, 10 cents for every $500 or part thereof of the principal sum secured.

Where a portion of the principal sum secured is released or discharged, 10 cents for every $500 or part thereof of the amount actually released or discharged.

No. 29 (7).

3. Sub-heading (8) of Heading No. 29 in the schedule to the Stamp Amendment. Ordinance, 1921, is amended by the deletion of "Do" in the third column of of leading the said schedule and by the substitution therefor of the following words :--

10 cents for every $500 or part thereof of the principal sum secured.

No. 29 (8).

4. Heading No. 33 in the schedule to the Stamp Ordinance, 1921, is Amendment amended by the deletion of the following words in the second column of the of Heading said schedule :-

(4.) Floating Policies, for each endorsement.

(5.) Marine Policies other than those specified above.

and by the substitution therefor of the following words:-

(4.) Marine Policies other than hull risks for time. (5.) Floating Policies, for each endorsement.

9th June, 1921.

No. 33.

　　Note 1.-The object of Regulation I is to provide that bonds to secure the payment of estate duty shall be chargeable at the same rate of duty as mortgages, provided that the amount does not exceed the general deed stamp duty, i.e. $20. Under the Stamp Ordinance, 1901, such bonds were chargeable with stamp duty at the same rate as mortgages. Under the Stamp Ordinance, 1921, they are chargeable with the general deed stamp of $20.

　　Note 2.-The object of Regulations 2 and 3 is to restore the former practice under the Stamp Ordi- nance, 1901, with regard to the duty to be paid on re-assignments of portions of the property covered by a mortgage. Regulation 3 is a mere drafting amendment and does not alter the duty on certificates of

satisfaction.

　　Note 3. The object of Regulation 4 is to make it quite clear that the sub-heading relating to floating policies does not apply to marine insurance. As the Heading stands at present, it might be imagined that the sub-heading relating to floating policies was intended to refer to open marine policies, whereas it really refers to the case of fire insurance.

　　Note 4.- Previous regulations made under the above Ordinance were published in the Gazette Extra- ordinary of the 30th April, 1921, and in the Gazette of the 13th May, 1921, (as corrected by Notification No. 236, published in the Gazette of the 20th May, 1921).

Where an application is made to a magist- rate for a maintenance order against any person, and it is proved that that person is resident in England or Ireland, such magistrate may, in the absence of that person, if after hearing the evidence he is satisfied of the justice of the application, make any such order as he might have made if a summons had been duly served on that person and that person had failed to appear at the hearing, but in such case the order shall be provi- sional only, and shall have no effect unless and until confirmed by a competent court in England or Ireland.

(2.) The evidence of any witness who is examined on any such application shall be put into writing, and such deposition shall be read over to and signed by him.

(3.) Where such an order is made, the magistrate shall send to the Governor for transmission to the Secretary of State for the Colonies the depositions so taken and a certified copy of the order, together with a statement of the grounds on which the making of the order might have been opposed if the person against whom the order is made had been duly served with a summons and had appeared at the hearing, and such information as the magistrate possesses for facilitating the identification of that person, and ascertaining his whereabouts.

(4.) Where any such provisional order has come before a competent court in England or Ireland for confirmation, and the order has by that court been remitted for the purpose of taking further evidence, a magistrate shall proceed to take the evidence in like manner and subject to the like conditions as the evidence in support of the original application.

If upon the hearing of such evidence it appears to such magistrate that the order ought not to have been made, he may rescind the order, but in any other case the depositions shall be sent to the Governor and dealt with in like manner as the original depositions.

(5.) The confirmation of an order made under this section shall not affect any power of a magistrate to vary or escind that order: provided that on the mak- ing of a varying or rescinding order such magistrate shall send a certified copy thereof to the Governor for transmission to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and that in the case of an order varying the original order the order shall not have any effect unless and until confirmed in like manner as the original order.

(6.) The applicant shall have the same right of appeal, if any, against a refusal to make a provisional order as he would have had against a refusal to make the order had a summons been duly served on the person against whom the order is sought to be made.

(4.) If at the hearing the pers n served with the sum- mons does not appear or, on appearing, fails to satisfy the magistrate that the order ought not to be confirmed, such magistrate may confirm the order either without modification or with such modifications as may seem just to him after hearing the evidence.

(5.) If the person against whom the summons was issued appears at the hearing and satisfies the magis- trate that for the purpose of any defence it is necessary to remit the case to the court which made the provi- sional order for the taking of any further evidence, the magistrate may so remit the case and adjourn the pro- ceedings for the purpose.

(6.) Where a provisional order has been confirmed under this section, it may be varied or rescinded in like manner as if it had originally been made by the con- firming magistrate and where on an application for rescission or variation the magistrate is satisfied that it is necessary to remit the case to the court which made the order for the purpose of taking further evidence, such magistrate may so remit the case and adjourn the proceedings for the purpose.

(7.) Where an order has been so confirmed, the person bound thereby shall have the same right of appeal, if any, against the confirmation of the order as he would have had against the making of the order had the order been an order made by the magistrate confirming the order.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.

No. 378.

Regulations made by the Governor in Council under section 4 of the Stamp Ordi- nance, 1921, Ordinance No. 8 of 1921, on the Sth day of September, 1921.

1. The regulation relating to "BE" stamps made under the above Ordinance, and published in the Gazette of the 30th April, 1921, as the first paragraph in Government Notification No. 205, is amended by the addition of the following proviso at the end thereof:--

"Provided that the stamp duty payable under Heading No. 41 of the Schedule to this Ordinance may, at the option of the person liable for stamping, be paid by means of adhesive 5 cents revenue stamps."

2. The following regulations made under the above Ordinance are hereby repealed:-

(a.) The regulation amending Heading No. 3 in the Schedule to the Stamp Ordinance, 1921, and the regulation relating to Dividend Warrants, which were published as the first and second paragraphs respectively of Government Notification No. 217 in the Gazette of the 13th May, 1921, (the said first paragraph being subsequently corrected by Government Notification No. 236, published in the Gazette of the 20th May, 1921).

(b.) Regulations 1, 2, 3, and 4, which were published as Government Notifica-

tion No. 266 in the Gazette of the 17th June, 1921.

COUNCIL CHAMBER,

Sth September, 1921.

S. B. B. McELDERRY, Clerk of Councils.

Note 1.The object of Regulation 1 is to facilitate the stamping of Shippers Books. As the law stands at present, Shippers Books are required to be stamped with adhesive stamps overprinted with the letters "BE", which can be obtained only at the Stamp Office. This is inconvenient for Chinese shipping offices. Regulation 1 therefore provides that 5 cents adhesive stamps may be used for this purpose.

　Note 2.-Regulation 2 repeals such of the existing regulations as have been incorporated in the Stamp Amendment Ordinance, 1921, and are therefore now unnecessary.

　Note 3.-Previous regulations under the Stamp Ordinance, 1921, were published in the Gazelle Extraordinary of the 30th April, 1921, and in the Gazette of the 13th May, 1921, (as corrected by Notification No 236, published in the Gazette of the 20th May, 1921), and in the Gazette of 17th June, 1921.

CLAUD SEVERN,

　Note 1.-The object of clause 5 is to give the Sanitary Department power to disinfect premises where infected cases are reasonably suspected to have occurred. As the law stands at present, disinfection can only be carried out where infectious cases have actually occurred. It often happens that the Department is morally certain that given premises have been occupied by infected persons, but at the same time is unable to carry out the necessary disinfection in the absence of definite proof of the facts. The amendment effected by this clause in section 89 of the Ordinance is therefore considered advisable in the public interest.

•

　Note 2.-Clause 6 adds a new section to the Ordinance and provides a penalty for obstructing the officers of the Sanitary Department in the execution of their duties. Section 25 of the original Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, Ordinance No. 1 of 1903, provided a penalty for obstructing an officer of the Board in the execution of his duties, but the section was subsequently repealed and apparently absorbed in section 47 of the Interpretation Ordinance, Ordinance No. 31 of 1911. That section is however limited to obstruction by force or violence. It has been thought advisable in the public interest to re-enact the old section in practically the same words as before. The penalty is now twenty-five dollars or one month's imprisonment instead of one hundred dollars.

PRESENT,

THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

HEREAS at Trianon on the fourth day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty, a Treaty of Peace (hereinafter referred to as "The Treaty ") was signed on behalf of His Majesty:

　　　And whereas by the Treaty of Peace (Hungary) Act, 1921, it was provided that His Majesty might make such appointments, establish such offices, make such Orders in Council and do such things as appeared to him to be necessary for carrying out the Treaty, and for giving effect to any of the provisions of the Treaty, and that any Order in Council made under that Act might provide for the imposition by summary process or otherwise of penalties in respect of breaches of the provisions thereof:

　　　And whereas the Treaty contained the Sections set out in the Schedule to this Order, and it is expedient that for giving effect thereto the provisions hereinafter con- tained should have effect:

　　　And whereas by Treaty, grant, usage, sufferance or other lawful means His Majesty has power and jurisdiction in British Protectorates, and is pleased by virtue and in exercise of the powers vested in Him by the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1890, or other- wise to extend the provisions of this Order to such Protectorates:

　　　Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, is pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, as follows:-

　　　1. The Sections of the Treaty set out in the Schedule to this Order shall have full force and effect as law, and for the purpose of carrying out the said Sections the following provisions shall have effect:--

(i) There shall be established in the United Kingdom a Clearing Office under the control and management of such person (hereinafter referred to as the Administrator) as the Board of Trade may appoint for the purpose.

In the event of a local office being established in any part of His Majesty's Dominions or in any Protectorate the provisions relating to the Clearing Office hereinafter contained shall apply thereto for the purpose of the func- tions authorised to be performed by a local clearing office under paragraph 1 of the Annex to Section III. of Part X. of the Treaty.

(ii) It shall not be lawful for any person to pay or accept payment of any enemy debt except in cases where recovery thereof in a court of law is allowed as hereinafter provided, otherwise than through or by leave of the Clearing Office (which leave may be granted subject to such conditions including conditions as to the payment of fees, as the Clearing Office may think fit to impose), and no person interested in any such debt as debtor or creditor shall have any communications with any other person interested therein as creditor or debtor except through or by leave of the Clearing Office, and if any person contravenes this provision he shall be guilty of an offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished as if he had been guilty of the offence of trading with the enemy, and section one of the Trading with the Enemy Act, 1914, shall apply accordingly.

(iv) The Clearing Office shall have power to enforce the payment of any enemy debt against the person by whom the debt is due, together with such interest as is payable under paragraph 22 of the Annex to the said Section III., and for that purpose shall have all such rights and powers as if they were the creditor; and if the debt has been admitted by the debtor or the debt or amount thereof has been found by arbitration or by the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal or by a court of law in the manner provided by paragraph 16 of the Annex to the said Section III., the Clearing Office may certify the amount so admitted or found due together with such interest as aforesaid, and on production to the proper officer of the Supreme Court of the part of His Majesty's Dominions or the Protectorate in which the debtor resides of such certificate, the certificate shall be registered by that officer and shall from the date of such registration be of the same force and effect, and all proceed- ings may be taken thereon, as if the certificate were a judgment obtained in that court for the recovery of a debt of the amount specified in the certi- ficate and entered upon the date of such registration, and all reasonable costs and charges attendant upon the registration of such certificate shall be recoverable in like manner as if they were part of such judgment.

(v) It shall be lawful for the Clearing Office to recover from any person by whom a fine is payable under paragraph 10 of the Annex to the said Section III. the amount of such fine.

(vi) If

any creditor refuses or fails to give such notice or to furnish such docu- ments or information as are mentioned in paragraph 5 of the Annex to the said Section III. he shall, on summary conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding ten pounds.

(viii) If His Majesty so agrees with any of the other Allied or Associated Powers, the provisions of this Order, so far as they relate to enemy debts, shall apply to debts due to or from the nationals of that Power resident in any part of His Majesty's Dominions or Protectorates in like manner as they apply to debts due to or from British nationals so resident.

　　In the case of interest or capital sums payable in respect of securities issued or taken over by the former Austic-Hungarian Government, the amount to be credited and paid by Hungary will be the interest or capital in respect only of the debt for which Hungary is liable in accordance with Part IX (Financial Clauses) of the present Treaty, and the principles laid down by the Reparation Commission.

The proceeds of liquidation of enemy property, rights and interests mentioned in Section IV and in the Annex thereto will be accounted for through the Clearing Offices, in the currency and at the rate of exchange hereinafter provided for in paragraph (d), and disposed of by them under the conditions provided by the said Section and Annex.

　　Local Clearing Offices may be established for any particular portion of the territories of the High Contracting Parties. Such local Clearing Offices may perform all the func- tions of a central Clearing Office in their respective districts, except that all transactions with the Clearing Office in the Opposing State must be effected through the central Clearing Office.

2. In this Annex the pecuniary obligations referred to in the first paragraph of Article 231 are described as "enemy debts," the persons from whom the same are due "enemy debtors," the persons to whom they are due as enemy creditors," the Clear- ing Office in the country of the creditor is called the "Creditor Clearing Office," and the Clearing Office in the country of the debtor is called the "Debtor Clearing Office."

　　3. The High Contracting Parties will subject contraventions of paragraph (a) of Article 231 to the same penalties as are at present provided by their legislation for trading with the enemy. Those who have not prohibited trading with the enemy will enact provisions punishing the above-mentioned contraventions with severe penalties. The High Contracting Parties will similarly prohibit within their territory all legal process relating to payment of enemy debts, except in accordance with the provisions of this Annex.

　　4. The Government guarantee specified in paragraph (b) of Article 231 shall take effect whenever, for any reason, a debt shall not be recoverable, except in a case where at the date of the outbreak of war the debt was barred by the laws of prescription in force in the country of the debtor, or where the debtor was at that time in a state of bankruptcy or failure or had given formal indication of insolvency, or where the debt was due by a company whose business has been liquidated under emergency legislation during the war. In such case the procedure specified by this Annex shall apply to payment of the dividends.

The Creditor Clearing Office will notify the Debtor Clearing Office of, all debts declared to it. The Debtor Clearing Office will, in due course, inform the Creditor Clearing Office which debts are admitted and which debts are contested. In the latter case, the Debtor Clearing Office will give the grounds for the non-admission of debts..

406

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

　　　6. When a debt has been admitted, in whole or in part, the Debtor Clearing Office will at once credit the Creditor Clearing Office with the amount admitted, and at the same time notify it of such credit.

7. The debt shall be deemed to be admitted in full and shall be credited forthwith to the Creditor Clearing Office, unless within three months from the receipt of the notification or such longer time as may be agreed to by the Creditor Clearing Office notice has been given by the Debtor Clearing Office that it is not admitted.

8. When the whole or part of a debt is not admitted the two Clearing Offices will examine into the matter jointly and will endeavour to bring the parties to an agreement.

9. The Creditor Clearing Office will pay to the individual creditor the sums credited to it out of the funds placed at its disposal by the Government of its country and in accordance with the conditions fixed by the said Government, retaining any sum consi- dered necessary to cover risks, expenses or commissions.

10. Any person having claimed payment of an enemy debt which is not admitted in whole or in part shall pay to the Clearing Office, by way of fine, interest at 5 per cent. on the part not admitted. Any person having unduly refused to admit the whole or part of a debt claimed from him shall pay, by way of fine, interest at 5 per cent. on the amount with regard to which his refusal shall be disallowed.

Such interest shall run from the date of expiration of the period provided for in paragraph 7 until the date on which the claim shall have been disallowed or the debt paid.

Each Clearing Office shall in so far as it is concerned take steps to collect the fines above provided for, and will be responsible if such fines cannot be collected.

The fines will be credited to the other Clearing Oflice, which shall retain them as a contribution towards the cost of carrying out the present provisions.

11. The balance between the Clearing Offices shall be struck every three months and the credit balance paid in cash by the debtor State within one month.

Nevertheless, any credit balances which may be due by one or more of the Allied and Associated l'owers shall be retained until complete payment shall have been effected of the sums due to the Allied or Associated Powers or their nationals on account of the

war.

　　　　12. To facilitate discussion between the Clearing Offices each of them shall have a representative at the place where the other is established.

13. Except for special reasons all discussions in regard to claims will, so far as possible, take place at the Debtor Clearing Office.

14. In conformity with Article 231 paragraph (b), the High Contracting Parties are responsible for the payment of the enemy debts owing by their nationals.

The Debtor Clearing Office will therefore credit the Creditor Clearing Office with all debts admitted, even in case of inability to collect them from the individual debtor. The Governments concerned will, nevertheless, invest their respective Clearing Offices with all necessary powers for the recovery of debts which have been admitted.

(a) The exceptional war measures and measures of transfer (defined in paragraph 3 of the Annex hereto) taken in the territory of the former Kingdom of Hun- gary with respect to the property, rights and interests of nationals of Allied or Associated Powers, including companies and associations in which they are interested, when liquidation has not been completed, shall be immediately discontinued or stayed and the property, rights and interests concerned re- stored to their owners.

(b) Subject to any contrary stipulations which may be provided for in the present Treaty, the Allied and Associated Powers reserve the right to retain and liquidate all property, rights and interests which belong at the date of the coming into force of the present Treaty to nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary, or companies controlled by them, and are within the territories, colonies, possessions and protectorates of such Powers (including territories ceded to them by the present Treaty) or which are under the control of those Powers.

The liquidation shall be carried out in accordance with the laws of the Allied or Associated State concerned, and the owner shall not be able to dis- pose of such property, rights or interests nor to subject them to any charge without the consent of that State.

Persons who within six months of the coming into force of the present Treaty show that they have acquired ipso facto in accordance with its provi- sions the nationality of an Allied or Associated Power, including those who under Article 62 obtain such nationality with the consent of the competent authorities, or in virtue of previous rights of citizenship (pertinenza) will not be considered as nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary within the meaning of this paragraph.

(e) The price or the amount of compensation in respect of the exercise of the right referred to in paragraph (b) will be fixed in accordance with the methods of sale or valuation adopted by the laws of the country in which the property has been retained or liquidated.

(d) As between the Allied and Associated Powers and their nationals on the one hand and nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary on the other hand, as also between Hungary on the one hand and the Allied and Associated Powers and their nationals on the other hand, all the exceptional war measures, or measures of transfer, or acts done or to be done in execution of such measures as defined in paragraphs 1 and 3 of the Annex hereto shall be considered as final and binding upon all persons except as regards the reservations laid down in the present Treaty.

(c) The nationals of Allied and Associated Powers shall be entitled to compensa- tion in respect of damage or injury inflicted upon their property, rights or interests, including any company or association in which they are interested, in the territory of the former Kingdom of Hungary, by the application either of the exceptional war measures or measures of transfer mentioned in para- graphs 1 and 3 of the Annex hereto. The claims made in this respect by such nationals shall be investigated, and the total of the compensation shall be determined by the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal provided for in Section VI or by an arbitrator appointed by that Tribunal. This compensation shall be borne by Hungary, and may be charged upon the property of nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary, or companies controlled by them, as defined in

The pay- ment of this compensation may be made by the Allied or Associated State, and the amount will be debited to Hungary.

(f: Whenever a national of an Allied or Associated Power is entitled to property which has been subjected to a measure of transfer in the territory of the former Kingdom of Hungary and expresses a desire for its restitution, his claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph (e) shall be satisfied by the restitution of the said property if it still exists in specie.

In such case Hungary shall take all necessary steps to restore the evicted owner to the possession of his property, free from all encumbrances or bur- dens with which it may have been charged after the liquidation, and to indemnify all third parties injured by the restitution.

If the restitution provided for in this paragraph cannot be effected, private agreements arranged by the intermediation of the Powers concerned or the Clearing Offices provided for in the Annex to Section III may be made, in order to secure that the national of the Allied or Associated Power may secure compensation for the injury referred to in paragraph (e) by the grant of advantages or equivalents which he agrees to accept in place of the property, rights or interests of which he was deprived.

Through restitution in accordance with this Article, the price or the amount of compensation fixed by the application of paragraph (e) will be reduced by the actual value of the property restored, account being taken of compensation in respect of loss of use or deterioration.

(y) The rights conferred by paragraph (ƒ) are reserved to owners who are nationals of Allied or Associated Powers within whose territory legislative measures prescribing the general liquidation of enemy property, rights or interests were not applied before the signature of the Armistice.

(h) Except in cases where, by application of paragraph (f), restitutious in specie have been made, the net proceeds of sales of enemy property, rights or inter- ests, wherever situated carried out either by virtue of war legislation or by application of this Article, and in general all cash assets of enemies, other than proceeds of sales of property or cash assets in Allied or Associated countries belonging to persons covered by the last sentence of paragraph (b) above, shall be dealt with as follows:

1) As regards Powers adopting Section III and the Annex thereto, the said proceeds and cash assets shall be credited to the Power of which the owner is a national, through the Clearing Office established thereunder; any credit balance in favour of Hungary resulting therefrom shall be dealt with as provided in Article 173, Part VIII (Reparation), of the present Treaty.

(2) As regards Powers not adopting Section III and the Annex thereto, the proceeds of the property, rights and interests, and the cash assets, of the nationals of Allied or Associated Powers held by Hungary shall be paid immediately to the person entitled thereto or to his Government; the proceeds of the property, rights and interests, and the cash assets of nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary, or companies controlled by them, as defined in paragraph (b), received by an Allied or Associated Power shall be subject to disposal by such Power in accordance with its laws and regulations and may be applied in payment of the claims and debts defined by this Article or paragraph 4 of the Annex hereto. Any such property, rights and interests or proceeds thereof or cash assets not used as above provided may be retained by the said Allied or Associated Power, and, if retained, the cash value thereof shall be dealt with as provided in Article 173, Part VIII (Reparation), of the present Treaty.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Article 250, in the case of liquidations effected in new [States, which are signatories of the present Treaty as Allied and Asso-

(c) The closure of contracts relating to cotton "futures," which were closed as on July 31, 1914, under the decision of the Liverpool Cotton Association, is also confirmed.

Security.

　　　5. The sale of a security held for an unpaid debt owing by an enemy shall be deemed to have been valid irrespective of notice to the owner if the creditor acted in good faith and with reasonable care and prudence, and no claim by the debtor on the ground of such sale shall be admitted.

　　　This stipulation shall not apply to any sale of securities effected by an enemy during the occupation in regions invaded or occupied by the enemy.

Negotiable Instruments.

　　　6. As regards Powers which adopt Section III and the Annex thereto the pecuniary obligations existing between enemies and resulting from the issue of negotiable instru- ments shall be adjusted in conformity with the said Annex by the instrumentality of the Clearing Offices, which shall assume the rights of the holder as regards the various remedies open to him.

7. If a person has either before or during the war become liable upon a negotiable instrument in accordance with an undertaking given to him by a person who has subsequently become an enemy, the latter shall remain liable to indemnify the former in respect of his liability notwithstanding the outbreak of war.

HII.- -CONTRACTS OF INSURANCE.

　　　8. Contracts of insurance entered into by any person with another person who subsequently became an enemy will be dealt with in accordance with the following paragraphs.

Fire Insurance.

　　　9. Contracts for the insurance of property against fire entered into by a person interested in such property with another person who subsequently became an enemy shall not be deemed to have been dissolved by the outbreak of war, or by the fact of the person becoming an enemy, or on account of the failure during the war and for a period of three months thereafter to perform his obligations under the contract, but they shall be dissolved at the date when the annual premium becomes payable for the first time after the expiration of a period of three months after the coming into force of the present Treaty.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

417

　　　A settlement shall be effected of unpaid premiums which became due during the war or of claims for losses which occurred during the war.

　　　10. Where by administrative or legislative action an insurance against fire effected before the war has been transferred during the war from the original to another insurer, the transfer will be recognised and the liability of the original insurer will be deemed to have ceased as from the date of the transfer. The original insurer will, however, be entitled to receive on demand full information as to the terms of the transfer, and if it should appear that these terms were not equitable they shall be amended so far as may be necessary to render them equitable.

　　　Furthermore, the insured shall, subject to the concurrence of the original insurer, be entitled to retransfer the contract to the original insurer as from the date of the demand.

Life Insurance.

　　　11. Contracts of life insurance entered into between an insurer and a person who subsequently became an enemy shall not be deemed to have been dissolved by the out- break of war or by the fact of the person becoming an enemy.

　　　Any sum which during the war became due upon a contract deemed not to have been dissolved under the preceding provision shall be recoverable after the war with the addition of interest at 5 per cent. per annum from the date of its becoming due up to the day of payment.

　　　Where the contract has lapsed during the war owing to non-payment of premiums, or has become void from breach of the conditions of the contract, the assured or his representatives or the persons entitled shall have the right at any time within twelve months of the coming into force of the present Treaty to claim from the insurer the surrender value of the policy at the date of its lapse or avoidance.

Where the contract has lapsed during the war owing to non-payment of premiums the payment of which has been prevented by the enforcement of measures of war, the assured or his representative or the persons entitled shall have the right to restore the contract on payment of the premiums with interest at 5 per cent. per annum within three months from the coming into force of the present Treaty.

12. Where contracts of life insurance have been entered into by a local branch of an insurance company established in a country which subsequently became an enemy country, the contract shall, in the absence of any stipulation to the contrary in the contract itself, be governed by the local law, but the insurer shall be entitled to demand from the insured or his representatives the refund of sums paid on claims made or enforced under measures taken during the war, if the making or enforcement of such claims was not in accordance with the terms of the contract itself or was not consistent with the laws or treaties existing at the time when it was entered into.

13. In any case where by the law applicable to the contract the insurer, remains bound by the contract notwithstanding the non-payment of premiums until notice is given to the insured of the termination of the contract, he shall be entitled, where the giving of such notice was prevented by the war, to recover the unpaid premiums with interest at 5 per cent. per annum from the insured.

14. Insurance contracts shall be considered as contracts of life assurance for the purpose of paragraphs 11 to 13 when they depend on the probabilities of human life com- bined with the rate of interest for the calculation of the reciprocal engagements btween the two parties.

Marine Insurance.

15. Contracts of marine insurance, including time policies and voyage policies entered into between an insurer and a person who subsequently became an enemy, shall be deemed to have been dissolved on his becoming an enemy, except in cases where the risk undertaken in the contract had attached before he became an enemy.

Where the risk had not attached, money paid by way of premium or otherwise shall be recoverable from the insurer.

418

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

Where the risk had attached effect shall be given to the contract notwithstanding the party becoming an enemy, and sums due under the contract either by way of premiums or in respect of losses shall be recoverable after the coming into force of the present Treaty.

In the event of any agreement being come to for the payment of interest on sums due before the war to or by the nationals of States which have been at war and recovered after the war, such interest shall in the case of losses recoverable under contracts of marine insurance run from the expiration of a period of one year from the date of the loss.

　　　16. No contract of marine insurance with an insured person who subsequently became an enemy shall be deemed to cover losses due to belligerent action by the Power of which the insurer was a national or by the allies or associates of such Power.

　　　17. Where it is shown that a person who had before the war entered into a contract of marine insurance with an insurer who subsequently became an enemy entered after the outbreak of war into a new contract covering the same risk with an insurer who was not an enemy, the new contract shall be deemed to be substituted for the original con- tract as from the date when it was entered into, and the premiums payable shall be adjusted on the basis of the original insurer having remained liable on the contract only up till the time when the new contract was entered into.

Other Insurances.

　　　　18. Contracts of insurance entered into before the war between an insurer and a person who subsequently became an enemy, other than contracts dealt with in paragraphs 9 to 17, shall be treated in all respects on the same footing as contracts of fire insurance between the same persons would be dealt with under the said paragraphs.

Reinsurance.

　　　19. All treaties of reinsurance with a person who became an enemy shall be regard- ed as having been abrogated by the person becoming an enemy, but without prejudice in the case of life or marine risks which had attached before the war to the right to recover payment after the war for sums due in respect of such risks.

Nevertheless if, owing to invasion, it has been impossible for the reinsured to find another reinsurer, the treaty shall remain in force until three months after the coming into force of the present Treaty.

Where a reinsurance treaty becomes void under this paragraph, there shall be an adjustment of accounts between the parties in respect both of premiums paid and pay- able and of liabilities for losses in respect of life or marine risks which had attached before the war. In the case of risks other than those mentioned in paragraphs 11 to 17 the adjustment of accounts shall be made as at the date of the parties becoming enemies without regard to claims for losses which may have occurred since that date.

20. The provisions of the preceding paragraph will extend equally to reinsurances, existing at the date of the parties becoming enemies, of particular risks undertaken by the insurer in a contract of insurance against any risks other than life or marine risks.

21. Reinsurance of life risks effected by particular contracts and not under any general treaty remain in force.

　　　　　22. In case of a reinsurance effected before the war of a contract of marine insur- ance, the cession of a risk which had been ceded to the reinsurer shall, if it had attached before the outbreak of war, remain valid and effect be given to the contract notwith- standing the outbreak of war; sums due under the contract of reinsurance in respect either of premiums or of losses shall be recoverable after the war.

23. The provisions of paragraphs 16 and 17 and the last part of paragraph 15 shall apply to contracts for the reinsurance of marine risks.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

SECTION VI.-MIXED ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL.

ARTICLE 239.

419

(a) Within three months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, a Mixed Arbitral Tribunal shall be established between each of the Allied and Associated Powers on the one hand and Hungary on the other hand. Each such Tribunal shall consist of three members. Each of the Governments concerned shall appoint one of these members. The President shall be chosen by agreement between the two Governments concerned.

　　　In case of failure to reach agreement, the President of the Tribunal and two other per- sons, either of whom may in case of need take his place, shall be chosen by the Council of the League of Nations, or, until this is set up by M. Gustave Ador if he is willing. These persons shall be nationals of Powers that have remained neutral during the war.

　　　If in case there is a vacancy a Government does not proceed within a period of one month to appoint as provided above a member of the Tribunal, such member shall be chosen by the other Government from the two persons mentioned above other than the President.

The decision of the majority of the members of the Tribunal shall be the decision of the Tribunal.

(b) The Mixed Arbitral Tribunals established pursuant to paragraph (a) shall decide all questions within their competence under Sections III, IV, V and VII.

　　　In addition, all questions, whatsoever their nature, relating to contracts concluded before the coming into force of the present Treaty between nationals of the Allied and Associated Powers and Hungarian nationals shall be decided by the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal, always excepting questions which, under the laws of the Allied Associated or Neutral Powers, are within the jurisdiction of the National Courts of those Powers. Such questions shall be decided by the National Courts in question, to the exclusion of the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal. The party who is a national of an Allied or Associated Power may nevertheless bring the case before the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal if this is not prohibited by the laws of his country.

(c) If the number of cases justifies it, additional members shall be appointed and each Mixed Arbitral Tribunal shall sit in divisions. Each of these divisions will be constituted as above.

(d) Each Mixed Arbitral Tribunal will settle its own procedure except in so far as it is provided in the following Annex, and is empowered to award the sums to be paid by the loser in respect of the costs and expenses of the proceedings.

(d) Each Government will pay the remuneration of the member of the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal appointed by it and of any agent whom it may appoint to represent it before the Tribunal. The remuneration of the President will be determined by special agreement between the Governments concerned ; and this remuneration and the joint expenses of each Tribunal will be paid by the two Governments in equal moieties.

　　　(f) The High Contracting Parties agree that their courts and authorities shall render to the Mixed Arbitral Tribunals direct all the assistance in their power, particularly as regards transmitting notices and collecting evidence.

(g) The High Contracting Parties agree to regard the decisions of the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal as final and conclusive, and to render them binding upon their nationals.

ANNEX.

1. Should one of the members of the Tribunal either die, retire or be unable for any reason whatever to discharge his functions, the same procedure will be followed for filling the vacancy as was followed for appointing him.

2. The Tribunal may adopt such rules of procedure as shall be in accordance with justice and equity and decide the order and time at which each party must conclude its arguments, and may arrange all formalities required for dealing with the evidence.

420

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

3. The agent and counsel of the parties on each side are authorised to present orally and in writing to the Tribunal arguments in support or in defence of each case.

　　4. The Tribunal shall keep record of the questions and cases submitted and the proceedings thereon, with the dates of such proceedings.

5. Each of the Powers concerned may appoint a secretary. These secretaries shall act together as joint secretaries of the Tribunal and shall be subject to its direction. The Tribunal may appoint and employ any other necessary officer or officers to assist in the performance of its duties.

6. The Tribunal shall decide all questions and matters submitted upon such evidence and information as may be furnished by the parties concerned.

7. The High Contracting parties agree to give the Tribunal all facilities and informa- tion required by it for carrying out its investigations.

8. The language in which the proceedings shall be conducted shall, unless otherwise agreed, be English, French, Italian or Japanese, as may be determined by the Allied or Associated Power concerned.

9. The place and time for the meetings of each Tribunal shall be determined by the President of the Tribunal.

ARTICLE 240.

Whenever a competent court has given or gives a decision in a case covered by Sections III, IV, V or VII, and such decision is inconsistent with the provisions of such Sections, the party who is prejudiced by the decision shall be entitled to obtain redress which shall be fixed by the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal. At the request of the national of an Allied or Associated Power, the redress, may, whenever possible, be effected by the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal directing the replacement of the parties in the position occupied by them before. the judgment was given by the court of the former Kingdom of Hungary.

SECTION VII-INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY.

ARTICLE 241.

Subject to the stipulations of the present Treaty, rights of industrial, literary and artistic property, as such property is defined by the International Conventions of Paris and of Berne, mentioned in Articles 220 and 222, shall be re-established or restored, as from the coming into force of the present Treaty, in the territories of the High Contracting Parties, in favour of the persons entitled to the benefit of them at the moment when the state of war commenced, or their legal representatives. Equally, rights which, except for the war, would have been acquired during the war in consequence of an application made for the protection of industrial property, or the publication of a literary or artistic work, shall be recognised and established in favour of those persons who would have been entitled thereto, from the coming into force of the present Treaty.

Nevertheless, all acts done by virtue of the special measures taken during the war under legislative, executive or administrative authority of any Allied or Associated Power in regard to the rights of nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary in industrial. literary or artistic property shall remain in force and shall continue to maintain their full

effect.

No claim shall be made or action brought by Hungary or Hungarian nationals or by or on behalf of nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary in respect of the use during the war by the Government of any Allied or Associated Power, or by any persons acting on behalf or with the assent of such Government of any rights in industrial, literary or artistic property, nor in respect of the sale, offering for sale or use of any products, articles or apparatus whatsoever to which such rights applied.

Unless the legislation of any one of the Allied or Associated Powers in force at the moment of the signature of the present Treaty otherwise directs, sums due or paid in respect of the property of persons referred to in Article 232 (b) in virtue of any act or operation resulting from the execution of the special measures mentioned in the second

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

421

　paragraph of this Article shall be dealt with in the same way as other sums due to such persons are directed to be dealt with by the present Treaty; and sums produced by any special measures taken by the Government of the former Kingdom of Hungary in respect of rights in industrial, literary or artistic property belonging to the nationals of the Allied or Associated Powers shall be considered and treated in the same way as other debts due from Hungarian nationals.

Each of the Allied and Associated Powers reserves to itself the right to impose such limitations, conditions or restrictions on rights of industrial, literary or artistic property (with the exception of trade-marks) acquired before or during the war. or which may be subsequently acquired in accordance with its legislation, by Hungarian nationals, whether by granting licences, or by the working, or by preserving control over their exploitation, or in any other way, as may be considered necessary for national defence, or in the public interest, or for assuring the fair treatment by Hungary of the rights of industrial, literary and artistic property held in Hungarian territory by its nationals, or for securing the due fulfilment of all the obligations undertaken by Hungary in the present Treaty. As regards rights of industrial, literary and artistic property acquired after the coming into force of the present Treaty, the right so reserved by the Allied and Associated Powers shall only be exercised in cases where these limitations, conditions or restrictions may be considered necessary for national defence or in the public interest.

　　　In the event of the application of the provisions of the preceding paragraph by any Allied or Associated Power, there shall be paid reasonable indemnities or royalties, which shall be dealt with in the same way as other sums due to Hungarian nationals are directed to be dealt with by the present Treaty.

Each of the Allied or Associated Powers reserves the right to treat as void and of no effect any transfer in whole or in part of or other dealing with rights of or in respect of industrial, literary or artistic property effected after July 28, 1914, or in the future, which would have the result of defeating the objects of the provisions of this Article.

　　　The provisions of this Article shall not apply to rights in industrial, literary or artistic property which have been dealt with in the liquidation of businesses or companies under war legislation by the Allied or Associated Powers, or which may be so dealt with by virtue of Article 232, paragraph (b).

ARTICLE 242.

　　　A minimum of one year after the coming into force of the present Treaty shall be accorded to the nationals of the High Contracting Parties, without extension fees or other penalty, in order to enable such persons to accomplish any act, fulfil any formality, pay any fees, and generally satisfy any obligation prescribed by the laws or regulatious of the respective States relating to the obtaining, preserving or opposing rights, to, or in respect of, industrial property either acquired before July 28, 1914, or which, except for the war, might have been acquired since that date as a result of an application made before the war or during its continuance, but nothing in this Article shall give any right to reopen inter- ference proceedings in the United States of America where a final hearing has taken place.

　　　All rights in, or in respect of, such property which may have lapsed by reason of any failure to accomplish any act, fulfil any formality, or make any payment, shall revive, but subject in the case of patents and designs to the imposition of such conditions as each Allied or Associated Power may deem reasonably necessary for the protection of persons who have manufactured or made use of the subject-matter of such property while the rights had lapsed. Further, where rights to patents or designs belonging to Hungarian nationals are revived under this Article, they shall be subject in respect of the grant of licences to the same provisions as would have been applicable to them during the war, as well as to all the provisions of the present Treaty.

　　　The period from July 28, 1914, until the coming into force of the present Treaty, shall be excluded in considering the time within which a patent should be worked or a trade mark or design used, and it is further agreed that no patent, registered trade-mark or design in force on July 28, 1914, shall be subject to revocation or cancellation by reason only of the failure to work such patent or use such trade mark or design for two years after the coming into force of the present Treaty.

422

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

ARTICLE 243.

The rights of priority provided by Article 4 of the International Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property of Paris of March 20, 1883, revised at Washington in 1911, or by any other Convention or Statute, for the filing or registration of applications for patents or models of utility, and for the registration of trade marks, designs and models which had not expired on July 28, 1914, and those which have arisen during the war, or would have arisen but for the war, shall be extended by each of the High Contracting Parties in favour of all nationals of the other High Contracting Parties for a period of six months after the coming into force of the present Treaty.

Nevertheless, such extension shall in no way affect the right of any of the High Contracting Parties or of any person who before the coming into force of the present Treaty was bonâ fide in possession of any rights of industrial property conflicting with rights applied for by another who claims rights of priority in respect of them to exercise such rights by, itself or himself personally, or by such agents or licensees as derived their rights from it or him before the coming into force of the present Treaty; and such persons shall not be amenable to any action or other process of law in respect of infringement.

ARTICLE 244.

No action shall be brought and no claim made by nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary, or by persons residing or carrying on business within the territory of that King- dom on the one part, and on the other part by persons residing or carrying on business in the territory of the Allied or Associated Powers, or persons who are nationals of such Powers respectively, or by any one deriving title during the war from such persons, by reason of any action which has taken place within the territory of the other party between the date of the existence of a state of war and that of the coming into force of the present Treaty, which might constitute an infringement of the rights of industrial property or rights of literary and artistic property, either existing at any time during the war or revived under the provisions of Articles 242,and 243.

Equally, no action for infringement of industrial, literary or artistic property rights by such persons shall at any time he permissible in respect of the sale or offering for sale for a period of one year after the signature of the present Treaty in the territories of the Allied or Associated Powers on the one hand or Hungary on the other of products or articles manu- factured, or of literary or artistic works published, during the period between the existence of a state of war and the signature of the present Treaty, or against those who have acquired and continue to use them. It is understood, nevertheless, that this provision shall not apply when the possessor of the rights was domiciled or had an industrial or commercial establishment in the districts occupied by the Austro-Hungarian armies during the war.

This Article shall not apply as between the United States of America on the one hand and Hungary on the other.

ARTICLE 245.

　　Licences in respect of industrial, literary or artistic property concluded before the war between nationals of the Allied or Associated Powers or persons residing in their territory or carrying on business therein, on the one part, and nationals of the former Kingdom of Hungary, on the other part, shall be considered as cancelled as from the date of the ex- istence of a state of war between the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the Allied or Associated Power. But, in any case, the former beneficiary of a contract of this kind shall have the right, within a period of six months after the coming into force of the present Treaty, to demand from the proprietor of the rights the grant of a new licence, the con- ditions of which, in default of agreement between the parties, shall be fixed by the duly qualified tribunal in the country under whose legislation the rights had been acquired, except in the case of licences held in respect of rights acquired under the law of the former Kingdom of Hungary. In such cases the conditions shall be fixed by the Mixed Arbitral Tribunal referred to in Section VI of this Part. The tribunal may, if necessary, fix also the amount which it may deem just should be paid by reason of the use of the rights during the war.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 7, 1921.

423

No licence in respect of industrial, literary or artistic property granted under the special war legislation of any Allied or Associated Power, shall be affected by the continued existence of any licence entered into before the war, but shall remain valid and of full effect and a licence so granted to the former beneficiary of a licence entered into before the war shall be considered as substituted for such licence.

Where sums have been paid during the war in respect of the rights of persons referred to in Article 232 (b) by virtue of a licence or agreement concluded before the war in respect of rights of industrial property or for the reproduction or the representation of literary, dramatic or artistic works, these sums shall be dealt with in the same manner as other debts or credits of such persons as provided by the present Treaty.

This Article shall not apply as between the United States of America on the one hand and Hungary on the other.

　　SIR,I have the honour to inform you that the Government of Austria has notified the adoption of a flag to be flown exclusively by Austrian merchant ships in future, consisting of an oblong composed of three equal horizontal stripes of red-white-red. The proportion of the breadth to the length of the flag is two to three..

　　2. According to Article 225 of the Treaty of St. Germain, the contracting parties agree to recognise the flag flown by the vessels of any contracting party having no sea- coast when those vessels are registered at some one specified place situated in its terri- tory, such place to serve as the port of registry. Vienna has been appointed a port of registry.

CIRCULAR.

DOWNING STREET,

27th August, 1921.

SIR,I have the honour to inform you that I have recently been in communication with the Army Council on the subject of the status of officers on retirement from the Colonial Volunteer Forces, and that His Majesty the KING has been pleased to approve of the privilege of wearing uniform, granted to ex-officers of Dominion Forces and Colonial Volunteers under local conditions, which is now effective only within local limits, being extended to cover the wearing of uniform on special occasions at home and elsewhere throughout His Majesty's dominions.

　　　2. His Majesty has also been pleased to approve that the privilege of retaining rank by such officers should be extended to be effective throughout His Majesty's dominions.

　　　3. These privileges will be limited to an officer who held a commission between the 5th of August, 1914, and the date of the termination of War-midnight of 31st August as notified to you in my telegram of 16th August.

　　　4. Military officers in this country who have relinquished their commissions and who have been permitted to retain their rank, also officers who have been demobilised or disembodied, are permitted to wear uniform on special occasions when attending ceremo- nies and entertainments of a military nature, and on occasions when the wearing of uniform would appear appropriate, and this limitation should be observed in respect of officers of the Colonial Volunteer Forces who have relinquished their commissions and have been permitted to retain their rank under due authority by notification in the local Gazette.

　　　　5. The uniform should be restricted to service dress, and should be that of the unit or of the generel list to which the officer belonged when he relinquished his commission or was demobilised. The badges of rank should be those of the rank he held when demobilised or that retained by him when he quitted the Service.

I have, &c.,

MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES.

WHITEHALL PLACE,

535

LONDON, S.W. (1),

28th June, 1921.

SIR, I am directed to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State, that for some time past representations have been made to this Ministry as to the need for regulations governing the importation of plants into this country on the lines of those which have been in force for some years in the Dominions, Colonies and Foreign coun- tries. After careful consideration of the position, it has been decided that measures must be taken to secure that only healthy plants are admitted into the country, and the Minister has therefore issued a Destructive Insects and Pests Order of 1921, 6 copies of which are enclosed herewith. It will be observed that the Order takes effect as from the 1st October next.

The Order prohibits the landing in England and Wales, from countries outside the British Isles and the Channel Islands, of all living plants with a persistent woody stem above ground, and parts of the same, except seeds, when for use in propagation-such as fruit trees, stocks and stools, forest trees, and ornamental shrubs and grafts, layers and cuttings thereof; all potatoes; tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, corms, and hop stocks for planting; seeds of onions and of leeks for sowing; and gooseberries; unless each package thereof has attached thereto, or is accompanied by a copy of a certificate issued at the time of packing by a duly authorised official of the country from which it is exported, to the effect that the consignment is healthy and free from the injurious insects and pests mentioned in the Second Schedule of the Örder. In the case of potatoes the certificate must also declare that Wart Disease has not occurred on the place where the potatoes were grown, nor within 500 yards thereof, except in the case of new potatoes. It will be seen from paragraph 5 of the Third Schedule to the Order that plants or parts thereof will not be deemed to be healthy which are attacked by any insect or pest men- tioned in the Schedule and the Note to the Sale of Diseased Plants Order of 1921. Six copies of this Order are also enclosed.

　　The Ministry is most anxious that all possible steps shall be taken for the publica- tion of the requirements of the Order in countries which export plants to this country. I am, therefore, to ask you to be so good as to move the Secretary of State to cause the necessary instructions to be given for the notification of the requirements of the Order to the Colonial and Dominion Governments.

It is desirable that it shall be made clear at the same time that the Order has been framed with the object of causing as little hindrance as possible to the normal course of trade, and that consignments from countries where an efficient system of plant inspection is in operation will be accepted without let or hindrance. In this connection it is important that the Ministry shall be furnished with details of the system of inspection in force in each Dominion and Colony, and I am to ask that the necessary steps may be taken for the supply of this information.

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE,

COLONIAL OFFICE, S.W. 1.

I am, &c.,

　　　Whereas by virtue of the provisions of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Cor- poration Ordinances 1866 and 1914 the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (hereinafter called "the Corporation") is authorized from time to time to extend or increase its capital for the time being by the creation and sale of new shares so as the same is made with the consent of a General (Extraordinary) Meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation to be specially called for that purpose and with the consent previously obtained of the Governor and under such conditions and provisions as he may think fit, such consent being evidenced by a notification or proclamation to that effect under the hand of the Governor and published in the Gazette, and so as the total amount of the capital of the Corporation shall not exceed the sum of twenty millions of dollars: Pro- vided that whenever and so often as any further capital is raised then a notification or proclamation to that effect under the hand of the Governor shall be published in the Gazette and the already existing capital together with such further capital shall thenceforth be taken to be the fixed capital of the Corporation, but with power nevertheless further to increase such capital from time to time as in such Ordinances is provided. And whereas with the consent of the Officer then Administering the Government of Hongkong and its Dependencies dated the 15th June 1907 and published in the Gazette the capital of the Corporation was increased to the sum of fifteen millions of Dollars and a notifica- tion or proclamation to that effect under the hand of the said Officer then administering the Government dated the 20th June 1907 was duly published in the Gazette:

And whereas it having been duly intimated to me that the desire of the Shareholders of the Corporation was to increase further the capital of the Corporation to the total amount of twenty millions of dollars by the creation and sale of new shares in accordance with the Deed of Settlement of the Corporation and subject to the provisions of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ordinances 1866 and 1914 and to have the previous consent of the Governor thereto I on the 27th day of May 1921 in writing did signify my consent to the proposed creation of additional capital of the Corporation subject to the provisions of the said Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ordinances 1866 and 1914 to the extent of Five millions of dollars :

And whereas it has been represented to me that pursuant to the said consent a further capital of five millions of dollars divided into shares of $125 each has been raised:

Now therefore I in pursuance of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ordinances 1866 and 1914 do hereby proclaim that the said further capital of five millions of dollars has been raised and that the said sum of five millions of dollars together with the before mentioned sum of fifteen millions of dollars making in all a total of twenty millions of dollars shall henceforth be taken to be the fixed capital of the Corporation.

Given under my hand and the public seal of the Colony at Victoria, Hongkong, this 23rd day of December, 1921.
