GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

A
My Lord,
With reference to Mr. Long's Confidential
Despatch of the 17th December, 1917, I have the honour to
inform Your Lordship that in view of the termination of the
war and the reasons given by Mr. Balfour for refusing remit-
-tances to German subjects in China having ceased to exist, I
have permitted the Custodian of Enemy Property to allow Mrs.
Holz to draw from deposits standing to her credit in the
Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation sums not exceeding 8400 monthly,
2.
Mrs. Holz was an English lady who married
not
A
a German, lately harbour master at Pakhoi, who is said to have
not been in Germany for over forty years and to have had no
intercourse with the German residente since the outbreak of
war,
his sympathies being with the allied causa.
3.
In the circumstances I hope you will approve of the action I have taken and I should be glad to be informed what you would wish done in any similar cases which may arise in connection with German subjects who have not been repatriated from China.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
VISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B.,
&C..
&c.,
&c. ..
I have the honour to be, My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obediant,
humble servant,
