EIDDOSIAH
It is beyond doubt that information concerning
naval and marine movements in Eastern seas gets to the enemy
and German firms in our colonies are strongly suspected of being concerned. In any event it is obvious that such firms
can easily communicate with Germany if they are permitted to
continue business with neutral countries.
Such important interests are at stake that German
firms should be either limited to internal trade or closed dowr
altogether. The latter course is the one I prefer as more
effective and I am of opinion that it should be followed even where the persons for the time in charge are not German.
I shall be glad to have your comments but if you
agree you should take action at once.
