The insured parcel post service to the province of Szechuga is suspended until further, notice.

An agreement has been entered inte Hoogkong for an exchange of insured letters. The medium of insurance is tha Frue Currency and the maximum amount for which a letter may be insured is 3000 francs

Interviewed by a China Mail re- presentative this morning Mr. John-between the Post Offices of China and stone said his particular business here was to deliver the machine to Capt. Ricou of Macao and to give such instruction in the handling of the machine as might be necessary.

Was it not your intention to give an exhibition fight over Hongkong asked the China Mail man..

Mr. Johnstone Yes, it certainly was but I have been refused permis sion to make any flights by the Hoogkeng Government.

Did the Government give any reason for their refusä?

Mr. Johnstone:-No I know no more about it than you do. The attitude of the Government to my mind is inexplicable.

From where do you start this after noon?-I don't even know that. My machine is now in the naval camber and all I know is that I have to get a launch to tow me out into the harbour and I must get up from the best position: I can.

The attitude of the Hongkong Government appears to be very strange?

It is, I am at a loss to find an explanation myself. Perhaps they think I want to take photos but I have not a camera and in any case the thing would not interest me. shall probably stay in 'Macao for a short time and then. I shall get the first boat back to- Manila:

Any chance of going up with you? No, not now. There might have been but, as I have told you, I am not allowed to give an exhibition over Hongkong. Otherwise I should have been very glad to take you up.
