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.
