şir,
I am directed by the Board of Trade to inform you that
they are making enquiries as to the German and Austro-Hungarian
shareholdings in the Hongkong & Shanghai Banking Corporation,
which is incorporated in Hongkong, and they will be obliged
if you will be so good as to move the Secretary of State to
cause them to be furnished with any information which is
available at Hongkong with regard to the shares of the
Corporation held by German and Austro-Hungarian subjects
resident in enemy territory and elsewhere respectively.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your obedient servant,
Halaque
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,
