me to your letter of the 11th March No! 10734/1916 trans- mitting correspondence with the War Trade Department regarding certain proposed shipments of coco-nut oil from Hong-Kong to the United States of America, and to

state for the information of Mr. Secretary Bonar Law,

that Mr. Lloyd George sees no ground for objecting to the particular shipments proposed, or to other re-exports

from ports such as Hong-Kong of produce derived from

countries not within the British Empire.

It would appear to Mr. Lloyd George that the destination of such re-exports should be determined so far as possible in accordance with the Export regulations

of the countries of origin.

If such countries permit export of certain commodities

to Neutral destinations for example, re-export of such

materials from a British port would seem permissible,

subject in all cases to the requisite tonnage being

available.

The practice of distributing from Hong-Kong produce from French Indo-China, and the consequent difficulty in connection with export restrictions, gives additional
