  1. As regards the latter point, Lord Curzon doubts whether this is so. From the enclosed Confidential Print "China Loans and Concessions", January 21st, 1918, paragraph 1 and August 2nd, 1919, paragraph 6, the Committee will appreciate that it was in return for substantial benefits conferred that the Chinese National Wireless Telegraph Company received its priority rights from the Chinese Government.

In the circumstances, this can hardly be regarded as a monopoly, but rather as the grant of an agency for the supply of wireless equipment to the Chinese Government in return for specific services rendered.

Before coming to any decision as to what action can be properly adopted, Lord Curzon would be glad of an expression of your Committee's views on the two points now at issue: (a) the desire of the Cable Companies to secure an extension of their existing monopoly beyond 1930 and (b) whether a protest with regard to the infraction of Messrs.
