Dated Simla, the 13th October 1917.
In reply to your telegram of the 30th of September
1917, No. 4056, I am directed to say that the custom of
requiring no-objection certificates in the case of metals
arose originally from the necessity of preventing these
from reaching enemy hands. The position has j altered
to such an extent that exports of these articles (with the
exception of tin which is referred to below) are now only
allowed when they tn are required for special reasons
connected with the war. So long as they are restricted in
this way, it does not seem necessary that no-objection
certificates should be required, since these would presumably
be ti given as a matter of bourse in cases where the
article was essential for war purposes.
2. Certificates of this nature have never been required
Sir
