Prohibited importation of live birds.



PROHIBITED IMPORTATION OF LIVE

BIRDS.


The following communication comes from the President of the

Board of Trade:


“The importation of Live Birds, other than Poultry and

Game, was prohibited by a Proclamation issued on the 3rd October.

Licences to import all prohibited articles from France are issued

only by the Paris Branch of our Restricted Imports Department,

and this Branch acts on applications vises by the French Ministry

of Commerce. The right course is for the consignors or exporters

of the birds to communicate with the Ministry at No. 66, Rue de

Bellechasse, Paris.


“ Yours very truly,


Board of Trade, “ R. W. Matthew.”


Whitehall Gardens, S.W.;


3 Oth October , 1916.”


The Ministry above-mentioned, after having passed such a

communication, transmit it to the English bureau, which, if there are

no objections, will issue a licence for importation in duplicate—one

to the consignee and the other to the consignor, or exporter. This

licence, however, only touches on birds in France, and apparently

on birds of France, since the regulation runs—“Enfin, le b6n6fice des

licences ne devant s’appliquer qu’aux produits d’origine frangaise—
