Java China Japan Lijn whose head office is at

Amsterdam and those head office for the Far East is et Hongkong enquire whether they will be committing offence of trading with enemy if they send steamer to Sabang to embark cargo for Japan from Austrian and German ships sheltering at Sabang. Transaction appears to be illegal but I should be glad to receive permission to grant a licence. The cargo would pass through Hongkong without transhipment and would not be liable to seizure as the

ship would be a Dutch ship.
