Sir,

I am directed by the Mini

You Munitions to refer to your letter No 22277/1916,

dated 15th May, transmitting copy of telegram

from the Governor of Hong Kong relative to the

exportation of groundnut oil not produced in the

British Empire, to Siam for local consumption.

Mr. Lloyd George sees no objection to

the Governor being given general authority to allow

such exportation, under satisfactory guarantees

as to use in Siam, nor to the transhipment of

any oil exported from French Indo-China under

permit of the French Authorities.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Under-Secretary of State,
