firms, and that a temporary reduction of the supply, and a return to the sounder methods of
British finance, would be of general benefit
in the long run.
The conclusion which I have come to on this
part of the question is that no licences should be given, but as
interests in the United Kingdom are involved and considerations of
Imperial policy arise, I have thought it better to refer the whole
matter to you.

The marks registered here in the names of
enemy persona and firms fall for practical purposes into two
classes, namely:-
(a). Marks used in respect of Manchester and Bradford
goods: and
(b). Marks used in respect of goods of German manufac-
-ture.
The marks of the former class number about 1,200 out of a total
of about 4,000 and it is to these marks that the questions above
discussed chiefly relate. A few of these marks are registered in
the joint names of an enemy firm and a British firm in the United
Kingdom. The second class above referred to need be considered
only in connection with the question of protection, and not in
connection with the questions of sale or licensing.

I shall be glad to know whether you approve
of the conclusions at which I have arrived, and, if not, to receive
your instructions in the matter.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
