PROCLAMATIONS.
No. 479.- --The following Proclamation of His Majesty the King is published for general information:
By the KING.
A PROCLAMATION
RELATING TO TRADING WITH THE ENEMY,
GEORGE RI.
HEREAS doubts have arisen as respects the position under the Proclamations for the time being in force relating to Trading with the Enemy of incorporated companies or bodies of persons which, though not incorporated in any enemy country or in territory in hostile occupation, carry on business in any such country or territory:
And whereas it is expedient that the position of those companies or bodies for the purposes of those Proclamations should be defined :
Now, therefore, We have thought fit, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, to issue this Our Royal Proclamation declaring, and it is hereby declared, as follows:--
For the purposes of the Proclamations for the time being in force relating to Trading with the Enemy, the expression "enemy," notwithstanding anything in the said Proclamations, is hereby declared to include, and to have included, any incorporated company or body of persons (wher- ever incorporated) carrying on business in an enemy country or in any territory for the time being in hostile occupation.
Given at Our Court at Buckingham Palace, this fourteenth day of September, in the year our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, and in the sixth year of Our Reign.
GOD SAVE THE KING.
