With regard to my telegram of the 26th.

September, there were grounds for supposing that the omers

of a certain ship, in anticipation of the Government control,

had chartered her to certain conniving parties at a figure far

below her market value. The ship was diverted temporarily for

Government account; and, in view of the last paragraph of your telegram of the 3rd. October, the ship has been handed to

the owners who have chartered her to another party at a rate

approved by the Control Committee.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Clausthorm

Officer Administering the Government.
