expansion of our organization in Manila has taken place so
that we now have world-wide connections, with direct trunk
circuits to North America, Europe, and South America. In
Hong Kong there has also been a great deal of development and
your radio service has apparently taken its place in the
commercial life of your city.
We have, since beginning our activities in Manila,
signed formal traffic agreements with Transradio in Berlin,
the Government of the Dutch East Indies, the National
Government of China, and the Government of Siam covering
long term co-operation in the development of further
business, and we feel that we have demonstrated our own
stability and competency in the field of international
communications.
With the above considerations in mind, we would
appreciate advice from you as to whether or not the
Government of Hong Kong would be prepared to negotiate and
sign a traffic agreement conforming to standard practice
with Radio Corporation of the Philippines within the next
few months. If this proposal is favorably received by you,
we would suggest that you indicate any changes in the
attached draft which you consider desirable and return it
to us within the next few weeks so that both parties may
arrive at an understanding for the wording of the final
document. The undersigned expects to be passing through
Hong Kong about April 15th, 1929, and if your Government
is favorably inclined for the celebration of this formal
agreement now, it would be possible to conclude and sign
it at that time.
Yours very truly,
RADIO CORPORATION OF THE PHILIPPINES

Vice-President and General Manager
