branches in China of firms which have partners and establish-

ments in enemy territory. In the attached opinion of Mr. H.

P. Wilkinson, a copy of which was enclosed in the letter of

K.B.M's Consul at Kiungehow to the Colonial Secretary dated

the 24th November, the view seena to be expressed that German

and Austrian subjects trading in China bear an enemy character

in respect of such trade. With the greatest respect to Mr.

Wilkinson'a opinion, in view both of his personal reputation

and of his familiarity with exterritorial problems, this

opinion, if correctly stated, seems difficult to reconcile

with the definition of "enemy" in the Trading with Enemy Pro-

clamation No. 2, and it does not seem to be in agreement with

the enclosed Foreign Office notification. It is recognised

of course that the position of the German and Austrian fires

in China differs in practical ways from the position of German d

and Austrian firms in neutral states where exterritorial

jurisdiction does not exist. The apparent divergence between Hi

Wilkinson's opinion andthis notification is indeed my main

reason for addressing you, as I am anxious to ascertain what

is your present policy on this matter.

I therefore have the honour to as you if you will

be good enough to inform me as to what view you take on the

status of the German and Austrian firms in China, whether

purely local or branches of firms in enemy territory.

At

the same time I shall be very glad of any observations which

you may care to make on the other matters referred to above.

I have, etc.,

(64.) F. H. MAY

Governor, &c.
