sir,

Government House,

Hong Kong

27th August, 1929.

I have the honour to forward for your infor-

mation copies of letters from the Director of the

Aviation Bureau of Kwang tung to the Manager of the Far-

East Aviation Company, and from the latter to this

Government, and to request th t this application may be

forwarded to the Chinese Government with the least

possible delay.

The Manager of the Far-st Aviation Company

expects the first machine to arrive in the Colony about

the end of October and would be glad if permission could

be granted by that date.

I should be glad if you could give the

Aviation Company's application your full support as

progress in commercial aviation between Hong Kong and

China will be impossible without the cordial co-operation

of the Chinese Authorities.

I have, etc.,

(signed)

His Britannic Majesty's Minister,

PEKING.

C. CLEMENTI.

Governor, &c.
