Cargo ex "Kleist" and ex "Silesia"
With reference to your letter of the 3rd August the
reason why I anticipate difficulty in obtaining permission
for the forwarding of the "Kleist" cargo is that it is
proposed to send the cargo to Genoa and Lyons, whereas
the only permission so far given by His Majesty's Government
for forwarding enemy cargo lays it down as a condition that
the cargo should be carried to a port in the British
Dominions, and it would appear that this cargo is in
part enemy property on account of the interest of the
partner at Berlin.
I do not quite understand the telegram which you
quote, unless it refers merely to the question of the
Governor's control of the actions of the liquidators,
because this Government has no authority to grant any
permission for forwarding cargo from enemy ships to
European ports. I would suggest therefore that Messrs.
Arnhold, Kerberg & Co., London, should apply in London
for
!
