No. 158. With reference to Government Notification No. 479 published in the Gazette of the 10th of October, 1919, it is notified that as a result of an agreement made in 1919 by the Governments of the Allied and Neutral Powers, through their representa tives at Peking, to prevent the supply of arms, ammunition and munitions of war of every description to China, measures were taken by His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking to prohibit any person, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person of whatever nationality, from importing into or exporting from China, or any Concession, Settlement or Leased Territory in China, or buying, selling or dealing in, or entering into negotiations for the sale of purchase of or other dealings in, arms, ammunition and munitions of war of every description, excluding sporting weapons and ammunition therefor. An exception was made in the case of transactions authorized by a written licence granted by His Majesty's Minister.
The attention of the public is drawn to the fact that these measures are still in force and that no licence will be issued for the export from Hongkong to China of arms, ammunition and munitions as described above, unless the Government is satisfied that His Britannic Majesty's Minister at Peking has issued the necessary import licence.
