Mr. Cowell opened the meeting by describing
the project which was to be considered. He said that
it seemed fairly clear that from the point of view of
Hong Kong in ordinary circumstances the project would
be of considerable advantage. Though the Colony was
largely dependent upon commerce and transit trade,
it had a small and growing number of industries, and
the present project would add to these and be of
considerable economic value.
As a result of the recent Cabinet decision,
however, it had been decided that completed aeroplanes
should not be exported to either China or Japan from
Hong Long during the present hostilities.
