##

The draft ordinance - which was not made use of by Lee Japan Ltd. - does not profess to touch any of the other problems dealt with in the Directive and I think it may be said that there is no objection to its enactment. Opinion 3 strikes me as adequately covering the ground. I understand from (5) that further legislation is being drafted to relieve the position of these lessees etc. who were under disabilities on account of captivity. Mere absence is not considered a disability because the lessees were in nearly all cases able to make arrangements for discharging their liabilities. We might urge King Kong to let us know what the position is as regards such further legislation.

14.10.46. By in a month Mr. Mostyn, 166/28. It Jaya Sabe B'ford vide min abor. PR Bennison R201/15.

As we are told for over a year, with civil Govt. has been re-established, they will communicate to us exactly the circumstances. The full import of the proposed legislation. In these circumstances, this fell need no longer be treated before us.

12/5
