companies.

Whether the wireless service can obtain a reasonable volume

of traffic where rates are equal will depend not only upon the

number of telegrams marked by the public for wireless transmission!

but also upon the extent to which the Telegraph Administrations

concerned are in a position to hand over unordered telegrams to

the wireless services. It is to be hoped therefore that cable

competition within present limits at equal rates will not in fact

deprive the Hong Kong station of an amount of point-to-point

traffic so large as to be an important factor in the problem of

maintaining the station on a remunerative basis.

On present information it seems desirable on grounds of

general policy to avoid a reduction of the wireless rate in

question.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

WI, Luch.
