Ref 90, evels ce of comes me another applicater to set ut a similar factory in H.K.
The circumstances in China have not
altered to our advantage, since our reply to the
first application was sent. I think, therefore,
we can only reply to this application in the same
terms, namely that there is no objection to the
setting up of the factory in Hong Kong, but
that as long as the present Sino-Japanese conflict
continues permission cannot be granted for the
export of completed aircraft from such a factory,
in Hong Kong, either to China or Japan.
Perhaps G.D. will advise as to the
answer to paragraph 4 of the despatch.
As the Governor asks for a reply by tele-
gram it would perhaps be best to reply accordingly
as at "A" above and recirculate for consideration
of the general question in para. 4 of the despatch.
