Res 13 MAR 17

Sir:-

I am directed by Mr. Secretary Balfour to

transmit to you herewith copies of two letters from

Mr. Carl Klarer, a prisoner of war interned in

Knockaloe Camp, requesting that certain dividends

due to him from investments in British companies in

China, which have been paid into the Alien Enemy

Account at the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Cor-

poration in Shanghai, may be transferred to his

account and made payable to him through the Command-

ant of the camp.

2. Mr. Balfour understands that there is no ob-

jection to a prisoner of war having money sent to

the Commandant of his camp on his behalf, and I am

therefore to request that Mr. Secretary Walter Long

will cause the necessary authorisation to be given

to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation

for the remittance of the money in accordance with

Mr. Klarer's request.

I am,

The Under-Secretary of State.

Colonial Office.

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,
