THE EASTERN EXTENSION AUSTRALASIA &

GAINA TELEGRAPH COMPANY, LIMITED,

ELECTRA HOUSE,

FINSBURY FAVEMENT,

E. 0. 3.

22nd October, 1920.

I have the honour to inform you that in consequence of the great increase in traffio ever the Eastern Companies* Cables during and since the War, the necessity for providing a tripli- onte Cable between Hongkong and Shanghai is now under consid- eration by the Chinese Telegraph Administration and the Eastern Extension and Great Northern Telegram Companies.

In addition to connecting the Treaty Ports of Amoy and bochow an route, it is proposed to land the Cable as Swatow, provided the necessary financial details can be satisfactorily arranged with the Administration and the Telegraphing Community

of that Fert.

Many years ago the latter appealed to my Company to assist these in endeavouring to obtain improved communies tion with the outer world, and although representations ware, at the time, made to the Administration on the subject, no practionl

result followed.

A few months ago another appeal was made to the Eastern Extension Company through the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and the Administration now appear to be more inclined to favourably conal.der the matter, provided they are safegɛarded against loss of local revenue by the establishment of the desired comection,
