With reference to my letter 44922/10 of the 20th inst., and to your reply 22994/1916 of the 22nd inst., on the subject of an alleged shipment of feathers from Hongkong to Germany by the Nordisk Fjerfabrik of Copenhagen, I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to enclose, for the information of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law, copy of a letter from the head office of this Company in Copenhagen, explaining the circumstances under which these feathers were purchased and acquired for their transport to Europe.

Sir E. Grey is disposed to regard the Company's explanation as satisfactory and does not propose, unless Mr. Secretary Bonar Law so desires, to take any further action in the matter.

I am to express regret that, owing to the report of this transaction having been sent by the War Trade Intelligence Department to two Departments of the Foreign Office at the same time, action was

Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office, WHITEHALL.
