REG? 19 APR 16

I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the

Admiralty to forward herewith, for the information of the

Secretary of State for the Colonies, a copy of two

intercepted telegrams, together with remarks thereon by the Censor at Hongkong, relating to dealings in Chinese Antimony, from which it would appear that a British firm is

acting as an intermediary between a Chinese producer of antimony and the firm of Diedrichsen, Krupp's Agent in the

Far East, who is employing a firm of American architects at Canton as his agents.

2.- My Lords understand that Mr. Bonar Law's attention

has already been drawn to this transaction by the Ministry

of Munitions and they would be glad to be informed what

action has been taken with a view to prevent Diedrichsen

from obtaining the antimony.

3.- I am to add that a copy of this letter is being

sent sent to the Ministry of Mimitions.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
