PROMBITING TRADING WITH CERTAIN PERSONS, OR BODIES OF PERSONS,

OF ENEMY NATIONALITY OR ENEMY ASSOCIATION.

[L.S.]

FRANCIS HENRY MAY,

Governor.

Whereas by the Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers) Ordinance, 1916, it is enacted that the Governor in Council may by proclamation prohibit all persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business, or being in the Colony of Hongkong, from trading with any persons or bodies of persons even though not resident or carrying on business in enemy territory or in territory in the occupation of the enemy (other than persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, residing or carrying on business solely within His Majesty's Dominions) wherever by reason of the enemy nationality or enemy association of such persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, it appears to him expedient so to do:

And whereas by the Proclamations of the 28th day of April and the 23rd day of June, 1916-called the Trading with the Enemy (Statutory List) Proclamations, Hong- kong, 1916-all persons and bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business or being in the Colony of Hongkong were prohibited from trading as therein mentioned with certain persons mentioned in the List issued with the Pro-

lamation of the 28th day of April, 1916:

And whereas under the power in that behalf given by Section 3 sub-section (2) of the said Ordinance variations in and additions to such List have been made by sub- sequent Orders in Council:

And whereas it is desirable to restate and consolidate the prohibitions contained in such former Proclamations and to consolidate the List issued with the Proclamation of the 28th day of April, 1916, with the variations therein and additions thereto made by such subsequent Orders in Council and for that purpose to revoke such Proclamations, and to substitute this Proclamation therefor:

And whereas it appears to me expedient to prohibit all persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business, or being in the Colony of Hongkong, from trading with any of the persons or bodies of persons mentioned in the list hereunder written, by reason of the enemy nationality or enemy association of such last-mentioned persons or bodies of persons :

Now, therefore, 1, Sir FRANCIS HENRY MAY, Knight Commander of the Most Distin- guished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its* Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, have thought fit, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, and in virtue and exercise of the aforesaid powers, to issue this Proclamation declaring, and it is hereby declared, as follows:-

1. The Proclamations of the 28th day of April (with the variations and additions made to the List therein contained by subsequent Orders in Council), and the 23rd day of June, 1916-called the Trading with the Enemy (Statutory List) Proclamations, Hongkong, 1916-are hereby as from the date hereof revoked and from the date hereof this Proclamation is substi- tuted therefor.

2. All persons or bodies of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, resident, carrying on business, or being in the Colony of Hongkong are hereby prohibited from trading with any of the persons or bodies of persons men- tioned in the list hereunder written, which list, with such variations there-
