In reply to your despatch dated the 3rd. November and
Numbered 8, Markwalds are clever at disguising the fact that rice
which is sold in Bengkok comes from their mill. I have now got a
guarantee from Khoon Seng's proprietor that he will not import
goods from or through British ports for delivery direct or indirect
to enemies, nor export f goods of enemy origin to or through Briti
ports. He also undertakes to bunker ship on arrival with coal now
at Windsors and not to cease in future from coaling there. I am
satisfied with this guarantee and am willing under the circumstanc-
-es to delete the name of the firm from the Black List. I will
inform His Majesty's Government and also the Goverment of British
dominions accordingly. The operations of Khoon Seng will however
in future be watched closely. In view of the many subterfuges
which enemy firms have adopted I cannot give to the firm the cer-
-tificates of r origin as suggested.
