I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatches of December 21 and 22 last relating to the Green Island Cement Co.'s limestone.

I have the honour to refer you to my despatches of

November 23 and December 18 last, in which I stated that this

case had long been closed and requested that you would comply with the undertaking frequently given by the British Minister and

yourself to make no demand for compensation. In your despatches under reply you have not thought fit to refer to this important

undertaking, which shows that you are fully aware that the

decision at which I have arrived in the case, as stated in my two

despatches referred to above, is a proper and correct decision.

As regards your last despatch (of the 23rd. ultimo)

on this subject, the contents thereof have no relation to the

principal demand of the Green Island Cement Company that limestone

should be allowed to be exported, and no advantages would accrue

from a lengthy discussion of your remarks. Leat any misconceptions

should arise, I will, however, reply thereto.

This case arose out of the demand of the Green

Island Cemen Company that the export of limestone should be allow-

meiponixin -ed, and in November 1913 the prohibition of export

from the various quarries was removed in accordance with their

desire. As to the reasons which induced the Company in question

to refrain from purchasing atone from the contractors, the local

officials are at a loss to offer any conjecture.

The statement (1) that after the removal of the

prohibition the action of the officials was such as to prevent

export and (8) that proceedings were taken against the late

Commissioner of Industry in conection with this matter, are

entirely
