Sir,

2nd July, 1919.

With reference to Mr. Long's Circular despatch of the 5th February,

1917, I have the honour to inform you that in respect of goods shipped from

the United Kingdom, either without export licence, or against a licence which

does not specify the name of the consignee, no objection is now offered to

Bills of Lading and Shipping Manifests being made out “to order."

2. The licences now issued by the Export Licence Department of the

Board of Trade are in general made out to a particular consignee only in

the cases of prohibited goods destined for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland,

North Russia, Holland or Switzerland. In these cases shippers exporting

goods from the United Kingdom are forbidden to make out their Bills of

Lading "to order," being required by the Customs (War Powers) Act to draw

these to the consignee named in the export licences.

3. I have to request that you will arrange for the adoption of a

procedure similar to the above in the case of exports from the territory under

your Government.
