WAI RAZOE

My telegram 10th. February liquidation of Enemy Firms. In view of probable increase available assets through policy of my telegram it seems desirable that power conferred by section 7 of Ordinance 11 of 1915 should be used freely to enable payment of all debts of liquidated firm whether incurred by or on behalf of local branch or otherwise all debts should be allowed rank pari passu unless you think it important to give priority

with claws agaust head office a sing lindory local debts. Creditors domiciled in Neutral Territory, should not be allowed however to claim till they have exhausted remedy in enemy territory. In case of deficit of assets of any branch within Colony of firm having branch in Straits or Ceylon arrangements should be made to meet deficit out of any surplus of other branches. You should communicate your views on this subject to Govemor Ceylon and arrange convenient system despatch follows by

mail.
