Sir,

GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON,

January 1903.

D

6 JAN 07:

With reference to your letter of the 31st ultimo (No. 50457/02), I am directed by the Postmaster General to acquaint you, for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, that he concurs generally in the terms of the proposed reply to the Governor of Hong Kong relative to the control of Wireless Telegraphy; but he would suggest the omission of the words from "in the absence" to "other public emergency", as he is inclined to think that, even if there is an existing provision empowering the Government to take over all telegraphs in time of war or other public emergency, an Ordinance to the effect of that now contemplated would still be desirable.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

[Secretary of State, COLONIAL OFFICE.]
