811.20 (D) Regulations/1744
Memorandum of Conversation, by the Chief of the Division of Controls (Green)
I called Mr. Thorold, First Secretary of the British Embassy, by telephone today and told him that I had received information indicating that some shipments of articles and materials exported from the United States to Hong Kong, under license, had been re-exported from that colony to areas of China occupied by the Japanese.
Mr. Thorold said that he would have the Embassy telegraph to the Governor of Hong Kong asking him to enable the Embassy to assure the Department that re-exportation of such articles and materials would not henceforth be permitted.
