Colonial Secretary,\n\nThe Hongkong and Shanghai Bank as liquidators of the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank are in possession of a number of bills which were bought by the Deutsche-Asiatische Bank here from German firms, residents, and missions. These bills, some of which are documentary and others clean bills, were posted to the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank at Hamburg, but were returned from New York as not transmissible to Germany. They all date from before the war. Some of the cargo covered by the documentary bills is on board German ships which are sheltering in neutral ports; some was on board two Japanese ships (the Kitano Maru and the Miyazaki Maru) and is believed to have been detained in London; some was on board two ships which have been seized as prize (the Derfflinger and the Sudmark). The Shanghai branch of the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank have asked for these bills to be sent to them, and the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank wish to know whether they should send them.\n\n2.\n\nWith regard to the clean bills, there seems no objection to sending them to Shanghai. If sent to Germany and collected there they will not increase the total national wealth or credit, as the only result will be to transfer money from the drawees in Germany to the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank at Hamburg.\n\nAs regards the documentary bills, several considerations arise:\n\n3.\n\n(a) The possession of the documents would probably assist the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank at Shanghai in getting possession of the goods and shipping them on by neutral steamers;\n\n(b) Probably even without these documents the Deutsch-Asiatische Bank could get possession of those goods by means of a bond or letter of indemnity, and in any case in many instances the first or second of exchange is not in the hands of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-420 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [1-2].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 453573, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-421 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [3-4]", "page_number": 359, "title": "CO129-421 - Governor Sir May - 1915 [3-4]", "content_text": "## C.O. 353/369:4\n**TREST**\nCode Telegrams from the Secretary of State to His Excellency the Governor.

For trading purposes Germans in China are enemies under the new proclamation; for prize court purposes in accordance with the judgment of the Prize Court at Alexandria in the \"Derfflinger\" case. The only remaining question is whether they are enemies for the purpose of acts forbidden by common law, that is non-commercial intercourse. It seems likely that this is so and that the British court in China would so hold, but the matter does not seem to be of importance.\n\n2. The answer is yes: but the question is not likely to arise often since French and Russian ships are forbidden to carry such goods and Japanese ships have been asked not to do so. Should a case arise there seems to be no reason why the power of seizure should not be used.\n\n3. All such contracts become illegal but in certain cases licences are to be issued and the British representative at Peking has received instructions. As regards German customs officers boarding British ships it is considered to be undesirable for political reasons to interfere.\n\n4. This is covered by the instructions mentioned in the reply to question 3.\n\n5. Companies must be considered British but difficulties will be met sufficiently by the China Companies Order-in-Council which will shortly be passed together with the new Trading with the Enemy Act passed on 17th June.\n\n6. On this point you will receive a further communication. This was answered in my cypher telegram of 30th July.\n\n7. This can be dealt with by licence.
