will see that the scheme is now, and is
stated to have been from the start, one
for supplying aircraft to British
purchasers, official and/or unofficial.
Chungking telegram No. 14 to

is relevant to this matter, and on
28th January we sent you an official
letter saying we presumed there would be
no objection to either of the alternative
schemes
