Your telegram of 22nd March (1) transference of
shares and payment of dividends, Trading with enemy
subjects resident in China is lawful and this involves
other payments and transference of other descriptions of
property. with regard to shares main point is possibility
of gaining control over company and this does not appear
to be a practical danger. On the other hand the weakening
of the enemy's resources would be very slight. (2) Direct-
orates. I have no objection to offer to the two-thirds
proposal for all companies registered in Hongkong but it
will be always difficult to prevent dummies from being
put in. I have asked British Consul-General at Shanghai to
send me copy of his proposals and will comment thereon in
greater detail by despatch.
