In reply to your Circular (W 5431/72/49)
of 19th April, 1940. I have the honour to report
that British subjects in China are not obliged to
make returns of their foreign securities, that no
restrictions are imposed on the sale, transfer and
export of such securities held by them, and that
their holdings of foreign currencies are subject to
no restrictions. As long as extraterritorial
rights exist no such regulations could in any case
be enforced on British subjects in China,
I have the honour to be
with the highest respect
My Lord,

humble Servant,

Viscount Halifax, K.G., G.C.S.I.,
