You
With reference to your letters No. 9518/1914, dated
mo the 9th of April and 14740/1914, dated the 25th of April, enclosing a copy of a letter from the General Post Office, I am commanded by the Army Council to reply as follows:-
1. The Council concur in the suggestion that the
Kowloon Bay site may be released.
2. The three sites proposed by the Joint Committee are
all objectionable from a defence point of view, and it is
suggested, in view of the possible adoption of an n all round"
in lieu of a "directional" aerial, that suitable sites might
now be found in Hong Kong or Stonecutters Island.
3.
I am to add that the Council hold the opinion
that the selection of the site cannot be proceeded with
until the question of the type of installation has been
decided on.
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office, S.W.
I am,
sir,
Your obedient servant,
