30th November, 1914.
I am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of lovember 23rd relative to the
treatment accorded to German firms trading in Hong Kong, and
to state that the Trading with the enemy Proclamation, No.2
of September 9th does not preclude Colonial Governments
from making such Regulations as they may think fit in ragard
to German firms trading within their jurisdiction.
▲ copy of your letter is, however, being forwarded
to the Colonial office as the matter is primarily one for
the consideration of that Department.
