of New York.

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
