With reference to my despatch No. 21 of 27th March,
I have the honour to transmit herewith two lists of the
arms and ammunition received in Lashio by rail for
onward transportation to China by lorry over the Burma-
Yunnan motor road by the South West Transportation
Company, between 18th February, (the date of receipt of the
first consignment), and 30th March inclusive. These lists
have been abstracted from details kindly supplied at my
request by the Superintendent, Northern Shan States,
Lashio.
They supersede the list enclosed with my
despatch under reference.
2c In reply to en enquiry regarding their freight
prospects in munitions Messrs. the Irrawaddy Flotilla
Company Limited inform me that the only additional cargo
for China that has come their way has been on account of
the Intercontinental Corporation for whom their vessels
have carried some 1,500 tons of factory material and
