I have been having a conversation with Mr.

ing, who is the Engineer-in-Chief of the Hong Kong

wireless system, and think I had better suggest to

you that a reply to our letter about the proposed

transfer of the system to the Company is becoming

rather a matter of urgency. I realise that the

question is intimately relted with a number of other

issues of some dificulty with regard to communication

with Australia and Singapore. The reason why I

suggest that it is urgent is the following.

asked me to consider whether we ought not to warn Hong

Fong not to enter into arrangements for new services

which the Company night possibly not wish to take on,

and which would involve in some cases the purchase of

additional plant. What he has in mind is the

possibility of Hong Kong communicating by wireless

with Japan and other places not in China. Such

wireless services would be in competition with your
