Dear Snythier,
You will remember that at our reomt conference at the Foreign Office you raised the question of what action would be permissible in the event of a Cantonese aeroplane
(1) flying over longkong
(2) flying over Hongkong and dropping
propa, anda
(3) flying over Hongkong and dropping
a berib or bomba.
It was agreed that as (1) and (2) would
apparently be decided under Hongkong law we should look into the matter and let you know the position; and that (3) would be decided under the international code and was therefore a matter for the Foreign Offics.
As regard■ (1) and (2) I enclose for your information a copy of Hongkong Ordinance Noi 26 of 1912
