Referring to your Confidential Despatch of the 15t

April, I have the honour to forward copies of correspondence

with His Majesty's Minister at Bangkok regarding the trans- -mission through Hongkong of goods consigned to W. F. Schmidt.

2. Subsequently to the commencement of this cor- -respondence a number of parcels addressed to Schmidt under his aliases were detained in the Post Office; and, as there

was not

sufficient evidence which could be produced in Court in support of a claim for condemnation, these were returned to the senders

in Japan.

I have the honour to be,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

ANDREW BONAR LAW, H.P.,
