Date .................20th. March,1918.
348. Your 23 19th. March. Requisition of thirteen

steamers. Question of percentage on earnings has been referred to Shipping Controller, London, who has replied "With regard to "requisition of vessels registered in Singapore and at Hongkong "suggest that if Colonial Governments decide to remunerate 'omers for organisation expenses on a commission basis commission "should be an over all one of 5% to cover all agency fees and "brokerages. This seems adequate remuneration and there is danger "otherwise of all expenses being made to appear as agency expenses
• but it should be clearly understood that this is essentially "Colony scheme and Imperial Government is in no way interested in "financial arrangements or their results except to see that *ramuneration of colonial registered vessels is not appreciably "higher or lower than that of competing vessels registered and
"owned in the United Kingdom". Singapore has agreed to this we are sending voyage account forms and other papers just arrived from London.
