Trading indirectly with the Enemy.

Prime Minister's Office,
Wellington, 18th November, 1914.

IT is hereby notified for general information that the Government is satisfied that certain business companies and firms trading or professing to trade at Rotterdam and other ports of Holland are, in fact, either actually enemy-traders or agents for enemies of His Majesty. The custom of New Zealand merchants and traders is being solicited with the object, not of advancing trade between His Majesty's Empire and the neutral State of Holland, but of enabling the enemy to carry on trade with His Majesty's subjects through the medium of Dutch ports. The Government requests all persons in New Zealand receiving directly or indirectly proposals for such trade to forthwith communicate with the Minister of Industries and Commerce at Wellington, and to abstain from any such trade without the authority of the Minister. The Department of Industries and Commerce will, at the request of any New Zealand trader or merchant, cause inquiries to be instituted as to the character and antecedents of any company or firm soliciting such business from New Zealand.
