I think we should also telegraph to Gibraltar, which will be considerably affected.

The only then dangerous places are the Union, Faber, & Co., and Zbar, which deal with suppliments to Parlamentos Portugeses.

There, however, are the quarters where contraband might be sent to an enemy destination.

& moreover we have an agreement with the Steamship lines which is sufficient cover for the time being.

I think, therefore, that these places can be dealt with by despatch.

In reply to your letter 10454/1916 dated 14th instant, with reference to the treatment of goods shipped by or to firms on the Statutory Black List which pass through Hong Kong and other British Colonies in transit,

I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to say that he concurs in Mr. Secretary Bonar Law's proposed instructions to the Governments of these Colonies to detain such goods when carried on British ships.

In the case of goods carried on Allied ships, which are not landed in the Colony for transhipment, Sir E. Grey considers that it would be advisable that the Colonial Government should consult the Consular Authorities of the country to which the ship belongs. In the event of the latter objecting to the proposed detention the goods must, in Sir E. Grey's opinion, be allowed to proceed, but the case should be reported home, in order that representations may be made to the Allied Government concerned.

I am, Sir, Your most obedient, humble Servant,

CONTROLLER.

The Under Secretary of State, COLONIAL OFFICE.
