44. My uncertainty as to whether shipments of laborers to private interests Fernando Po would fall within the scope of paragraph (e) led me to ask Barclay informally concerning basis of shipments. He stated that all of the shipments of Fernando Po came under 1914 agreement and “so far as my Government knows no shipments private firms”.
He stated that Government had no knowledge of shipments of Congo until advised by Manager Ross last March.
