With reference to your letter No.21932/1919 of April 16th enclosing a copy of a telegram from the officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong enquiring whether it is necessary to continue to issue permits for the grant of bunkers to Chinese and neutral ships, I am directed by Earl Curzon of Kedleston to state that His lordship does not consider that the regulations should at present be modified. Chinese vessels should of course receive bunkers under standing regulations locally on the ground that they are Allies. Neutral vessels should also continue to be

dealt with under the circulars which have already been sent

out, a summary of which is as follows:-

1.

Bunkers may be granted to neutral vessels on the Ships White List irrespective of employment.

2. Bunkers may be granted to neutral vessels sither

on the White List or the Black List if carrying cargo to
