sir,
I am directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey
to enclose a copy of a note from the Swiss Minister
in London concerning the detention of telegrans
between Messrs. Biedermann & Cie of Saigon and Hanoi
and Mr. J. H. Trachsler of Berne. Assuming that the
telegrams referred to have been detained by the Cable Censor at Hong Kong or Singapore, I am to request, if Mr. Bonar Law sees no objection, that enquiries may be made of the Governments concerned, if possible by
telegraph, as to the reasons for the detention of this
correspondence. The Swiss house of Biedermann does
not appear on the General Black List nor are its
branches in the East on the Statutory List.
Trachsler of Berne is not on the General Black List
either.
Mr.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,

I am,
sir,
Your most obedient
humble Servant,
Walter Townley
fate Controller.
