CO129-513-9 Proposals for civil and commercial aviation in Hong Kong- requests for air-routes between Hong Kong... 13-11-1928 - 30-9-1929 — Page 125

I have always found the local Government ready and

willing to foster British interests and Mr. Vaughan Fowler

informs me that the Officer Administering the Government, the

Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G., is in full sympathy with the

attempt to introduce British aircraft into China, but he unfortunately is unable to do anything really definite in the

matter.

I have no doubt this subject will receive the

serious consideration it deserves so that suitable action may be promptly taken rather than wait till the situation

becomes acute. In this connection it might be useful to try

to enlist the assistance of the Society of British Aircraft

Constructors.

Yours faithfully,

(sd.) G. W. Sewell.
