Deutsche-Asiatische Bank.
I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 28th August and to express general approval of the
proposed arrangements subject to the remarks made below:-
CURRENT ACCOUNTS. He lodgments must be accepted for current
accounts.
DRAFT DRAIN ON "THE BANK". HONGKONG. These drafts may be paid
as they come in, but immediate steps should be taken by the "the
bank" to notify other branches to cease drawing on the Hongkong
branch. Permission will be given to "the bank" to send telegrams in
plain language for this purpose. These telegrams should be initiall-
ed by the representative". Drafts bearing dates before the
declaration of war need not be referred to the Government unless
*the representative" is of opinion that they present some special
features. All payments of drafts bearing dates after the declarat-
ion of war must be authorised by "the representative". Should any
draft be presented bearing a date later than the date by which the
netice to cease drawing might reasonably be expected to reach the
other branches the matter should be referred to the Government.
BAR SILVER. Application may be made later if permission
should be required to take over the bars held here against the
Canton contract.
The general intention of the permission conveyed in
my letter of the 25th August is the liquidation of the business
of "the bank' somewhat as if a solvent firm were being wound up in
bankruptcy.
I shall address you later on the question of dealing with letters and telegraMB and in the meantime "the representative" may continue to act as he has been doing.
As a special exception, "the bank" will be allowed
Leesre. Johnson, Stokes and master.
