RECEIVED
__4 OCT 1940 C. O. REGY
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG.
12th August,1940.
I have the honour to refer to Mr. N.L.Smith's
confidential despatch of 1st August, 1940, with which was
enclosed a copy of a Government Notification prohibiting,
except under licence from the Controller of Trade, the
movement in the Colony of all descriptions of merchandise
the export of which to China is prohibited under the
recent agreement between His Majesty's Government and the
Japanese Government.
2.
The Superintendent of Imports and Exports,
who is the Controller of Trade, will be primarily responsible
for implementing the terms of the agreement between the two
Governments so far as this Colony is concerned, but he will
of course receive all possible assistance from the Police
Force both on shore and afloat. This will involve a
redistribution of the staff of Revenue Officers along the
frontier between British and Chinese territory and at other
places in the New Territories from which smuggling of goods
into China by sea is possible. It will also involve some
augmentation of that staff. It is proposed to recruit two and possibly four temporary European Revenue Officers at a salary of $350 per mensem, plus $50 house allowance if no
free quarters are available, and eighteen temporary Chinese
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
