With reference to your Colonial office letter

54992/1915 of December 10th, I an directed by

Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you herewith

copy of a telegram from His Majesty's Minister at Peking regarding the central and North China Godoins and Press Packing Company and the Yangtze Wharf and Godown Company.

I am to add for the information of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law that the Companies in question have now efinitely acquired enemy character and have been

placed on the China Black List. Under these circun- stances it would appear to Sir E. Grey unnecessary

to reply to Sir H. May's despatch of November 1st

last.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Wangley

he Under-Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
