Your telegram of 20th September. I presume that you
refer to the Trading with the Enemy Ordinance, 1914, There is no legislation here exactly corresponding to Section 11 of that
Aet but see Section 7 of the Trading with the Enemy Ordinance, 1915. The objection to using that section is that the Companies would not allow supervisor to carry out his functions. It also
seems doubtful whether a supervisor could be legally appointed
of a business carried on and managed entirely outside of the Jurisdiction even if it be carried on by a Company registered within the jurisdiction. The local register licences of the se
companies under gestion 35 of the Companies Ordinane 1911 will not be renewed after the 31st December and it then may be possi-
ble to strike them off under Section 36. Opportunities of enforcing Section 257 may arise. If immediate sotion is desired in my opinion the only effective step would be to take stmmary power to strike the companies off the register on ground of pregionderate number of apparent enemy shareholders in the last
annual summary.
