sir,
it reference to your letter of the 17th instant,
No. 11350/16, ith regard to the export of Sesamum to
Siam, I am instructed by the Director of the War Trade
Department to state for the information of Mr. Secretary
Bonar Law that the fact that the name of the consignee
does not appear on the Siam White Liat is the only
objection raised by this Department to the export of the
consignment.
With regard to the points raised in the ascond
paragraph of your letter, I am to point out that by the
terms of the Royal Proclamation of the 24th Eeptember last
the export of goods from the United Kingdom to Siaz is
only permitted to persone whose names appear upon the List
and that it has been considered that this Department has no
alternative but to refuse applications for licences for the
export of prohibited goods destined for other consignees.
If thie view of the Department is oorrect it ia
obvious that the export of goods to persons not on the
List from other parts of the Empire would place exportera
in the United Kingdom at a disadvantage. Lord Elmott would
be glad to consider the views of the Colonial Office on this subject as it is in his opinion desirable to secure uniformity of procedure as far es possible.
A
I am, Sin
The Under Secretary of State,
