Sir,

With reference to your letter No.28784/1916, dated the 23rd ultimo, I am directed by the Secretary Sir E. Grey to state, for the information of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law, that he sees no objection to the feathers in question being shipped by the Nordisk Fjerfabrik from Hongkong to a port in the United Kingdom, on the understanding that this shipment is permitted without prejudice to the ultimate decision of His Majesty's Government as to the issue of an export licence for these goods from this country to Denmark. As Mr. Bonar Law is no doubt aware, the export of chicken feathers either is, or is about to be, prohibited.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office,

S.W.

CONTROLLER.
