I imagine that the Foreign Office,
;4 will be heas kendur towards Ameri! can susceptibilities ban they were in1989.
As the Goor is calling for tenders for the privilege of running a public utility service I cannot su why be she not take the simple &
straightfoward course of requiring the concesionaire to use British
made busses.
The alternative is a
tariff.
In 1931 Hong Kong importe 498 mola- -cars (25. K. 63, Bmpire [except V.X] 21
U.S.A. 376) & exprced 236 (all except 4 to China). There is therefore fair n.export trade which might be upset by
a
a
tariff. This cd to perhaps be got over by putting
a thumping duty on
motn-cars
& chassis of I seats or over, & admilting all other cars free.
Personally 2 favour the shaight. -forward course at A.
