Prohibition of raw silk and silk waste other than to British destinations. May I permit the transhipment of raw silk and silk waste to America and France from Canton. It is

a very serious matter for province of Kuangtung. British Mer- chants and Shipping Companies are also affected seriously.

If silk is now locked up in Canton it is feared that the American market may be permanently captured by Japan.
