GERLAN & AUSTRIAN FIRLS IN HONGKONG.
We have been officially informed that the Government in
Hongkong have appointed British Merchants to liquidate the businesses
of all German and Austrian firms there,
We have no knowledge as to the reason for this strong
action being taken, but it is one which we feel sure will involve
British firms on this side in serious losses. We therefore venture
to address you on this matter as follows.-
(1)
The liquidation of the businesses by the appointment of
Liquidators with no previous knowledge of contracts entered into
with the Native buyers, together with disposal of unsold goods at
Liquidators discretion, will naturally not yield such a satisfactory
result as if left in the hands of the original Contractor, in fact,
before the appointment of Liquidators by the Hongkong Government we
had evidence that our customers there had already serious difficulty
with their Native buyers in securing their adherence to contracte
entered into before War was declared, and since the appointment of
Liquidators this difficulty will have been accentuated.
