Dear Swire,
I regret very much that I hove kept you weiting so long before letting you know what had happened
bout the request which we had received from Hong Kong concerning the desire of ustrelion Ntion:l Airways to extend their ustralis - Manila scheduled rir service to that Colony.
We now understand that Australian Nationl Airways have not yet received o licence from the Government of ustr: liu for the oper tion of a service to Manila and that consequently there is no point at the present in pursuing the Buggestion that they should extend this service to Hong Kong.
The metter would appear to be one for the Government of Australia, which is at the moment examining the economic Dossibilities of services between
ustralia and China..
