Singapore and Singapore and England, such a service is

necessary to keep level with the American service Shanghai

Manila America, but what is of more importance and of better financial prospects is a service covering Shanghai, Singapore, Manila, Bangkok and possibly a station in French Indo China, these services would I consider definitely pay, especially Shanghai, but I find when discussing technicalit- ies that only Singapore is under consideration, observing that Hong Kong has already been approached by Japan, Shanghai, Manila, Java and Bangkok can these stations be utterly

ignored in the proposed scheme ? If they are, traffic

will again as in the case of telegraphy, be directed to Canton, and the inhabitants of Hong Kong will have to call through the Canton Station or not at all, which from a traders point of view is definitely bad, and will be resented.
