In continuation of Mr. Southorn's confidential

despatch of 2nd August, 1928, on the subject of wireless

communication between this Colony and Yunnanfu, I have the

honour to inform Your Lordship that I have authorised a

reduction as from 1st December in the rates charged to the

public to 40 cents a word for foreign and Chinese code and

20 cents a word plain Chinese, with a further charge of 10 cents and 5 cents when branch radio offices are opened in

other parts of the province of Yunnan; the charges to be in

Hong Kong currency in each case. No competition with the cable companies is involved.
