New business with Germany and German-Austria is, however, legal under the general licences which were given by Notifications Yos 750 and 360 in the Government Gazette of the 8th August, 1910. is amended by Notification No. 410 of the 5th September, 1919.
The Restrictions of the Allen Enemies Winding up) Ordinances are, however, still in force and pre- war transactions are also affected by the provisions of the Treaty of Peace Order which was published in the Government Gazette of the 5th January, 1920.--I a, Sir,
2 our obedient servant,
(Sgc.) Claud Severn.
