"before it can take effect"
It is understood that neither the Great Northern nor
the Indo-European Companies' routes will be able to carry
Press traffic at the reduced rate, owing to their Concessionary
Governments refusing to sufficiently reduce their transit rates
for Press traffic, and the low tariff with Hongkong would only
apply to the cables of the Eastern and Associated Companies.
We do not think it right that because other routes
cannot reduce to the same level as the route of these Companieş
that the Chinese Government should have the power of stopping
reduced Press rates with the British Colony of Hongkong.
I am also writing to the General Post Office. If you
desire,I should be pleased to call upon you to discuss this
subject.
Yours truly,
Инименно
Traffic Accountant.
