Referring to paragraph 2 of your Confidential Despatch of 4th. May in which you asked to be informed why it was considered desirable that the proposed low power station should have a range of 850 miles, I have the honour to refer you to my Confidential Despatch of 15th. April and to state that the reasons which guided the Committee in coming to the decision that if a commercial station were erected it should be of medium power having a range of 850 miles were that such range would give com- -munication with Shanghai, Formosa and the Philippine Islands and most probably with French Indo-China by day and by night with the Straits Settlements, Japan and equivalent distances.
2.
The Chamber of Commerce as I informed you in my Despatch of 15th. April concurred with the Committee and I have no hesitation in expressing the opinion that a low power station having a range of 300 miles would fall far short of the Commercial requirements of Hongkong.

I take this opportunity of transmitting copies
of the enclosed correspondence in continuation of my above quoted Despatch.
