Sir.
Goo
With reference to your letter, No.42176/1915, of the 18th September, I am directed by the Board of Trade to state that they concur in Mr. Secretary Bonar Law's proposal to authorise the Governor of Hong Kong to issue a licence for the payment to the enemy shipowners of such charges as may have to be paid in order to obtain possession
of the goods ex the s.s. "Kleist" which Hesars Arnhold Karberg & Company desire to forward to Italy, subject to the conditions suggested in the 4th and 5th paragraphs of your letter under reference, and provided also that
the Licencees satisfy themselves that the goods are not
likely to reach an enemy country.
I am to add that on the question of the right of the
Crown to seize the share of the enemy partner of Arnhold Karberg & Company, Mr. Bonar Law may think fit to consult
the Procurator-General.

Colonial Office,

I have the honour to be,
