beg to draw your attention to Paragraph 14 of the said article by

which an organisation "The China Federal Radio Administration"

has to be formed as an independent enterprise. The proceeds

shall be handed in to an American Bank (Art.l1 ), it shall be

connected with feeding stations for the present in three

different places in the Interior of China (Art. 5). The whole

organisation shall be under American control (Art.14 at the

beginning), and we feel quite confident that the same will be

the case with the Stations in the Interior, as it will not prove

possible to find any Chinese to be able to handle sare.

I beg to recapitulate the above in the following points:

It is evident that the Japanese are working hand and foot

to get hold of the whole of China's Telegraph and Cable Systems.

If the above mentioned agreement between Japan and China

concerning the purchase of the cables is not yet signed, the re

is no doubt that it will be so. Furthermore there is no

doubt that the Americans have now laid the foundation stone

for covering China with an American Wireless system to be used

with the object of Americanising the country commercially and

politically.

Att last I beg to point out that if the efforts of Japan

and America are carried to a successful em, the result will

be that the Cable Companies will be ousted from the Far East.

It is our absolute belief that diplomatic action must be

taken immediately in Peking in order to forestall a catastrophe

not only for English and Danish but also for hropean interests

in China.

Desiderata of the two Cable Compani es:

(1)

Assurance that the Chinese and the Japanese Governmenta

are not going to purchase the Cables after 1930,

(2) An assurance that the landing privileges shall be permanent.

(3) An assurance that the agreements concerning the Kiachta-

Peking-Chefoo-Shanghai Telegraph and Cable Systems shall

not expire in 1923.
