LONDON, S.W.

July, 1915.

With reference to . Read's letters of the 19th instant,

lov (82862/15), and 25rd instant (33560/15), enclosing copies of correspondence with the Governor of Hong Kong regarding the exportation of antimony and antimony ore to Japan, I an

directed by the Minister of Munitions to state for the informa-

tion of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law that, subject to the following

observation, he concurs in the terms of the instructions which

Mr. Boner Law proposes to address to the Government.

Mr. Lloyd George is disposed to think that as antimony

is largely exported from Japan to the United States of

America for use in producing munitions for the use of the

Allies, it might be desirable to permit this export to continue

provided that any antimony so exported is consigned to the

British Consul General at New York who could see that it is

only used for the above purpose.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

S.W.

Hilewelyn Smith
