Your telegram 2nd November vessel "Daylight" has not
been here since November 17th Last "Drumelton arrived on or
about September 9th and it is awaiting instructions. September
3rd Arnhold Karberg request permission to accept the ships
under the charters and to load with one cargo already bought
(3)
(
A cargo to be purchased and the any other cargo offering. Reply given was that apparently the carrying (on) (out) of the charters would be illegal and would involve other illegality
(of) and that permission could not be given in order to enable transaction to be carried out. The view of the legal position
then being acted on here was that in case of a firm such as persons named trade with the branch here was trade with and for
benefit of partners in Germany and the permission requested
went much farther than that already given to German firms.
Also it would be impossible to prevent the benefits to be
derived from such transactions reaching Germany. Nothing
definite known of where head office was independent informa
tion from Shanghai states that it was in Germany. Reason to
believe that there has been money remitted to Germany by
German firms from Shanghai. No further applications have been
made since publication of trading with enemy Proclamation num- ber two. In the general question of treatment here of the question of trading with enemy see my telegrams of 15th August, 24th August, 26th September and your telegrams of 27th August, 3rd October and my despatch 7th September.
