Port Facilities
Hong Kong's one great asset is the Harbour; almost everything which produces prosperity is rang- ed round it. Hong Kong without her harbour, her shipping, her godowns and her docks might as well not exist.
Aviation
When one considers the diffi culties of communication, the dis- tances to be travelled and the general want of modern facilities, and when one realises that we are by air travel only about six hours from Hanków, two hours from Wuchow, two and a half hours from Kweilin and ten hours from Shanghai, one can get some con- ception of the great possibilities of aviation.
"There are no less than six broadcast transmitting stations in Java News, information, enter tainment and education are trans-j mitted to listeners in different parts of the Island. In wireless telegraphy there is the very large high-power long and short wave station at Malabar and a newer short wave station nearer Bandoeng. These communicate direct with Europe and with the United States of America." and lower down he says:—
