London Chamber of Commerce,

Dear Sir,

London, B.0.

It has come to the knowledge of my Committee that

German

of Messrs. Wm. Meyerink & Co.,

the old established/firm

at Shanghai has been sold to a Chinese gyndeoate the principal

of which is the former Compradore of the firm,

The Syndicate has taken over the entire business

including the German staff and is advising suppliers in

Manchester and elsewhere that all outstanding contracts have

been tranferred from the Messrs. Meyerink. It is also under-

stood that credits have been opened through Dutch Banks to

enable the goods to be financed.

firms in

Although no particulars regarding other German

Shanghai are to hand it is believed that many are

employing similar methods and in some cases nominal heads

of American or other neutral nationality have been appointed

with the in-tention of providing a means whereby Bri ti sh

suppliers may, if they wish, evade the letter of the recent

proclamation against Trading with the Ehery.

The British Merchants of this Colony supported by

my Committee cannot too strongly protest agaist such pro-

ceedings and would urge you to take such steps as will in-

fluence the Government to refise to recognise these transfers.

I am, dear sir,

Yours faithfully,

(nd)

Acting Secretary.
