if things do not move in
want the Japa but maet
Londen within a week it looks as if Jap money will be
accepted. They have laid a very fine scheme before the
Fortuguese offering to build fastories, to increase the
revenue and employ a large number of the inhabitants. The
negotiations are being carried on by a local Jap dentist.
The Jap Admiral has paid the colony a visit and all his men
swarmed the town with small notebooks in hand. They offer to
develop the port and have direct lines to Japan, so you can
what they are after. Pernape London may do some thing
with Lisbon and may have done for all I know, but they seOIZ
to be keeping Hongkong in the dark. Our splendid isolation
I suppose.
