For m 57887

With reference to your letter of the 23rd ultimo,

relative to the transhipment of silk at Hong Kong, I

am instructed by the Director of the War Trade Department

to state, for the information of Mr. Secretary Boner Law,

that in view of the fact that the export of silk to

Netherlands India is not likely to be large, Lord Emmott

is of opinion that general authority might be given to

the Governor of Hong Kong to allow transhipment provided

he is satisfied as to the destination of the goods.

I am,

sir,

Your obedient Servant,

N. J. Highmore
