GENERAL POST OFFICE, LONDON,

15th April 1914.

Gentlemen,

Wireless stations in Far Eastern Waters.

With reference to your letter of the 6th instant, I

am directed by the Postmaster General to inform you that the question of providing wireless telegraph stations at Singapore and Hong Kong falls within the province of the Secretary of State for the Colonies to whom a copy of your letter has been forwarded. The Postmaster General understands however, that arrangements are in hand for the erection of stations at both those places for communication with ships,

I am,

Gentlemen,

Your obedient Servant,

(Sd.) J. I. De Wardt.

for the Secretary.
