With reference to your letter 13178X of the 23rd

ultimo relative to the exportation of pepper and pea-

nuts from the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong to Messrs W. R. Grace and Company, and other firms in the United States of America, I am directed by Lord R. Ce cil

to transit to you herewith for the information of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law, a copy of a telegram on this subject which has been sent to his Majesty's Consul

General at San Francisco.

I am, however, to observe that Lord R. Cecil 16 unaware of any objection to the export of peanuts to Messrs W. R. Grace and Company, and he would suggest, in the absence of some more definite objection than has yet been stated, that consignments should be allowed

to go forward to them on the same terms as to other

United States importers.

A copy of this letter is being sent to the War Office, Ministry of Lunitions and the War Trade Depart-

ment.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient

humble Servant

Maurice de Bunsen
