Sir E. Fraser (Shanghai)
September 8th, 1916.
No: 127. Forum.
American Pacific Mail S. S. Company
have appointed as agente American firm Andersen Meyer,
who have been warned by their consulate that as common carriers they must accept all cargo offered,
especially by United States citizens.
British partner states that S.S.Company
will omit calling here if such acceptance of cargo
say from notorious (?K) Everett will entail his
firm being black listed. He asks also as to
passengers. At present only channel for enemy cargo and passengers across Pacific is S.S."China".
Pleaseinstruct me as to the reply which
I should return.
