The following is the evidence so far as I can

collect it at the moment.

(a). Mr. Richter was formerly the New York agent of

Messrs. Reuter Brockelman & Co.

(b). His present manager and power of attorey at Canton

is Mr. Schubert, who was formerly a senior assistant of Messrs.

Reuter Brockelmann & Co.

(c). His correspondence contains letters to Kr. H. Schluter, who formerly signed per pro Messrs. Reuter Brockelmann

& Co.

(d). His correspondence contains letters written on

Reuter Brockelmann & Co.'s paper and relating to Lessrs. Reuter

Brockelmann & Co.'s business. See Censor's letters Nos. 3705,3706

and 3843.

(e). Censor's letter No. 3843 contains the following passage, "the Hongkong Government know that A. R. is working for R. B. & Co." This letter is written by Steger, who was the former maunger in Hongkong of Messrs. Reuter Brockelman & Co.

(f). Censor's letter lo. 4298 seems to show that Reuter Brockelmann & Co.'s goods are being shipped under the name of Alfred Richter in order to avoid difficulties in connection with

the Trading with the Enemy legislation. I attach a note of it.

(g). Censor's letter No. 4682 seems to show some Bus-

-picion on the part of the International Banking Corporation, though it may merely show that the Corporation is afraid of inter- -ference by the British authorities. I attach a note of this letter

(h). It is significant that Mr. Richter should start business just at the time when Reuter Brockelmann & Co. find their

trade hampered by our legislation.

(i). Mr. Richter originally wished to appoint Kr.

Schluter as his power of attorney and manager in Hongkong and
