Southern Chinese regional governments over management

of this Office in Hong Kong cannot be tolerated any

longer, I propose to close down the Chinese Telegraph

Office and work with Canton by Wireless Telegraphy

only for the present. In that case messages would

pass between Hong Kong Government Wireless Station at

D'Aguilar and Canton Government Wireless Station at

Canton. During August wireless messages so exchanged

varied between 80 and 160 daily.
