Mr. Emanuel and I will be glad to come to the meeting at 2.30 p.m. on 10th December.
I rather doubt whetar it is possible to discuss this subject profitably in isolation from the defence aspect and I suggest therefore that it would be very helpful if General Department could be represented. Perhaps therefore Mr. Mayle
would pass the file on to Mr. Acheson.

Mr. Wilson.
The meeting considered the two airfield

to cost £4 million, and that of Stonecutter's Island,
which is to cost £11 million and the various ways
in which the expenditure involved was to be met.
It was pointed out that an M.C.A. Mission was
proceeding to China in January to discuss an air
agreement with the Chinese and that, should they be
successful in obtaining an agreement and in finding
the Chinese airfield at White Cloud, Canton, to be
suitable as a staging post in the service to Japan,
they would not have very much interest in Hong Kong.
In any event, as it was Hong Kong which desired an
