Sir J.Shuckburgh.
I think you should see this, as
1
it sems clear that, although the H.K.
Government may have roceeded with undue
precipitation, they did so with the cor-
dial sup ort and approval of the 0.C.,
R.A.F., Far East, and other Air Force off-
icers; and they were entitled to assume
that they would recover from the Air 'lin-
istry a share of the actual cost of the
work done on preparing the area, even though
the question of the terms on which
land is placed at the disposal of the
A.. is still under discussion. As to the
hiteaper,
I can't see that it has
any thing to do with the matter; all it
shows is that the R...F. will probably
want further facilities in H.K., which
confirms the sup ort of this proposal by
the local R.A.F. officers.
I think that, as well as telegraph-
ing, we should put this point of view s.o.
