My dear Clements.
Representations have been made
to this Department by Siemens Bros.
and Company Limited, in connection with
the supply of automatic telephone
exchanges to the Hong Kong Telephone
Company.
The Company say that they have
sent in a tender which they believe to
be the lowest, but they fear the con-
tract will be allotted cister to an
American or an American controlled
company) because Mr. MacTaggart, the
and
Company's Manager, was prejudiced in
favour of American work . They ask,
therefore whether anything can be
done to ensure that the contract wer
prefectly com
stgoes"
to a British firm, teetis, themselves.
