FOREIGN TRADE DEPARTMENT,
REG: 30 4 16
LANCASTER HOUSE,
29 May 1916.
ST. JAMES',
S.W.

Sir,

I am directed by Sir E. Grey to acknowledge receipt of your letter 15421/1916, dated the 17th instant, enclosing copy of an Ordinance to amend the law relating to importation and exportation in the Colony of Hongkong and to say that Sir E. Grey is of opinion that the ordinance is well adapted to enable the Hongkong Government to exercise the necessary control over the colony's import and export trade.

With reference to the second paragraph of your letter, I am to state for Mr. Secretary Bonar Law's information, that confusion having arisen owing to the fact that some of the black lists or lists of suspect exporters issued by His Majesty's Consuls in China, in particular the list issued by the Consul General at Shanghai, contained names not included in the black list kept in this Department, and vice versa, steps are now being taken to prepare a revised black list for China and Siam which will be issued by this Department.

Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office,
WHITEHALL.
