LANCASTER HOUSE,

ST. JAMES,

S.W.

In reply to your letter 10454/1916

dated 14th instant, with reference to the

treatment of goods shipped by or to firms on

tae 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 conours in Mr. Secretary Bonar Law's

proposed instructions to the Governments of

these Colonies to detain such goods when

orried 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 enould be reported home, in order that representations may be made to the Allied Govern-

meat concerned.

I am,

£ir,

The Under Secretary of State,

COLONIAL OFFICE.

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

CONTROLLER.
