to be exported from this country and India to firms in

to you by the Foreign Office on the 1st instant in their

If this suggestion be accepted, the name of any

Japanese firm desirous of importing mica from Hong Kong

would be submitted to H.M. Ambassador at Tokio, the export

would only be allowed after the Governor of Hong Kong had

been notified by H.M. Ambassador that the firm was approved

and had signed the appropriate form of guarantee, and the

for the account of the importing firm, subsequent
