sir,

I have the honour to state that I have received the

following communication from the Committee for Military

Affairs:

"With the present development of international aviation

aeroplanes are constantly travelling to and fro and flights

by foreign machines over Chinese territory will necessarily

increase day by day. A provisional scheme in nine articles

has accordingly been drawn up to be complied with by foreign

aeroplanes specially permitted to fly over chinese territory.

As regards the places of landing and taking off for aeroplanes

which have been granted permission to enter Chinese territory,

we have now assigned (a) the Ta Sha T'ou aerodrome at Canton

(b) the Hai Hung Ch'iao aerodrome at Shanghai and (c) the

Hanyuan Aerodrome at Peiping.

We have the honour to inform you accordingly and to

request you to notify those concerned",

I have the honour to send Your Excellency the scheme

in nine articles for your information.

Compliments, etc.,

Seal of the Wai Chiao Pa.
