Sir,

BOARD OF TRADE.

2nd November, 1928.

17

I am directed by the Board of Trade to transmit to

you herewith a copy of a letter dated 4th October, with en-

closures, which has been received from Messrs. Stephens on,

Harwood & Tatham, asking certain questions regarding the

position of Shanghai under Section 10 of the Companies Act,

1928.

The second question in Messrs. Stephenson, Harwood

and Tatham's letter has been answered by the Privy Council

office, and in order to enable the Board to reply to the

other questions I am to request that you will be good enough

to move Lord Cushendun, should he see no objection, to cause

the Board to be furnished with the views of the Foreign

Office on the subject.

In this connexion it will be remembered that a

different, but not unrelated, question is at present under

consideration in regard to the desire of certain China com-

panies to be given power to establish branch registers in

this country. (Foreign Office letter of the 4th October,

1928, No. 5175/5175/10).

I have etc..

(Sga) E. R. EDDISON.

The Under-Secretary of State,

Foreign Office,

S.W.1.
