affect the United States at all, and shipments to the United States will form a large part of those passing through Hongkong I imagine.

If it were decided to try to stop transit goods

to . fims, there would be several possible alternatives

any of which could I think be carried out under Ordinance

32/1915 (see copy attached to 5664)

(1) All goods consigned by or to such firms and

In

brought in British or allied ships could be stopped.

A

(ii) All goods consigned to or by such firms by or

to British or allied firms and brought in on British or

allied ships could be stopped.

(iii) We might stop all goods consigned by or to such firms and brought in British ships.

(iv) We might stop all goods consigned by or to

such firms to or by British or allied firms in British

ships.

(v) We might stop all goods consigned by or to

British firms in Pritish ships to or by such firms, 4

we are to follow the lines laid down for applying the

/E China . Proclamation (See paragraph 8 of Draft to Hongkong 23rd December 56418) there would seem to be no

reason why we should'nt adopt (i).

As however we are not openly treating persons

on the A.list as enemies it may not be desirable to go

so far in this case.

We should I think also consider whether we

ought not to send out some directions to Hongkong and elsewhere about treatment of shipments to persons on the Statutory Black lists.
