If State for Foreign Affairs 27th instant, I regret have come to the conclusion that I
that permission cannot be granted authorize
the landing of this Cable
in Hong Kong by this Chinese

the WaHop Company
should work over
Eastern Extension
Company's Line across
Kowloon and into
in the same way as
are
the latter company permitted to work over
Chinese Line from Woosung to Shanghai.
