MINISTRY OF MUNITIONS OF WAK,

WHITEHALL PLACE,

REC

REA 8 SEP 16

7 September 1916.

473

LONDON, S.W.

I am directed by the Minister of Munitions to

refer to your letter (No. 37564/1916) of the 16th. August, transmitting copy of a despatch from the Governor of

Hong Kong on the subject of the exportation of Pig Iron

and Steel Products from that Colony.

I am to state, for the information of Mr.

Secretary Bonar Law, that the Minister does not consider

that there is any objection to the re-export from Hong

Kong of Pig Iron and Steel Products which may arrive

at that port from outside sources, for the purpose of

trans-shipment. On the other hand, I am to point out

that requests are continually being received from China

for Pig Iron to be supplied from this country, and, in

view of this fact, it is not desirable that these

materials should be exported from Hong Kong when they

are obtained from Chinese sources and have been exported

the from the United Kingdom for use in Colony and not expressly

for trans-shipment.

OT

In this connection I am to refer to your letter

(No.

39159/1916) of the 19th. August, and to state that

inasmuch as the 250 tons of Pig Iron referred to in the cable

from the Governor of Hong Kong enclosed therewith, appears to

have arrived there from India, there is no objection to the

exportation to Kobe of this consignment.

er Secretary of State, Colonial office.

9.7.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your obedient Servant.
