With reference to Colonial Office letter
No. 53970/38 of the 16th December, regarding a
request by the Chinese Postal Administration for
permission to open a sorting office in Hong Kong,
I am directed by Viscount Halifax to inform you that,
subject to any observations which His Majesty's
Postmaster General may have to offer he concurs in
the action proposed provided that the Governor is
satisfied that the application emanates from a bona
fide department of the Chinese Central Government
and not from an organisation controlled by the Japanese
authorities at Canton.
2. A copy of this letter is being sent to the
General Post Office.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
N.B. Romalo
The Under-Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
