Funthar obans. on matter. Wishes to
craft reply to 1.5. Embassy (delayed for pp.)
The Board of Trade are not prepared to
accept the contentions advanced in our letter of
the 3rd of October (No.12). Apart from denying
the validity of the analogies advanced in that
letter they repeat their previous argument that
the restriction amounts to a prohibition of
importation and, therefore, is in conflict with
the policy of H.M.G. towards the convention for the
abolition of export and import prohibitions and
restrictions. This convention, however, is not applicable to any Colonies etc. which do not adhere
accede to it separately, and H.K. has now decided
not to adhere (see despatch No.430 of 10th Septr.
duplicate herewith). So far as H.K. is concerned,
therefore, the convention may be ignored.
The Board also quote the precedent of
the restrictions imposed on tin dredging machinery
in the F.M.S. (see 52325 and previous papers).
