Mr. Hayden said he had been asked by
his head office to enquire into the positi
of the Hong Kong balances of his Bank and
the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation. He understood that there had
been some discussions in New York with
Mr. Morae and that the balances were frozen
pending settlement of the general "debtor
creditor" question. The view of his Bank
was that they were entitled to full
reinstatement of the balances which they
were anxious to see made as soon as possible
Mr. Caine confirmed that the release of
pre-war bank balances with the Hong Kong
and Shanghai Banking Corporation awaited
the general settlement of the debtor credit
question.
He thought, however, that while
no committmen ́t could be entered into, the
National City Bank need probably not have
cause for alarm regarding its balances
with the Hong Kong Bank since it seemed quite
/possible
