Neither did he say hePEKING'C ATTITUDE DISALLOWED. would get the Government's per- mission to anything, nor did he
represent that concerts were to be broadcast from the Hongkong Hotel. The letter concluded by saying that their client (the defendant) was willing to pay if plaintiff would put the set in working order for him..
