Objects and Reasons.
The object of this Bill is to bring about a harmonious working arrangement, in the case of China Companies as defined by this Ordinance in regard to which com- panies His Majesty's Minister in China has appointed or may hereafter appoint a Custodian of Enemy Property in China whereby the Governor of this Colony is enabled (notwithstanding the appointment by him of a Hongkong official as Custodian generally of enemy property) to appoint the same Custodian in the case of China Companies as has been appointed or may hereafter be appointed by His Majesty's Minister in China. In this way all possibility of any future con- flict of powers between the Colonial Treasurer here, who is usually appointed Custodian of Enemy Property and the Custodian of Enemy Property in China will be avoided. For a similar reason it has been thought desirable to make it clear in this Ordinance that the Custodian has full power to sell shares, stock, deben- tures, and debentures stock of a China Company and that such company has and has had full power to legally purchase the same any law or any regulation of the company to the contrary notwithstanding”.
