Your confidential telegram No. 143.

Question

has been discussed with representative of Company.

Company are anxious to meet your requirements if possible

and on general grounds of policy it is undesirable to

compete with Company for commercial traffic.

Disadvantages which Hong Kong has suffered from delay

are fully appreciated. Can you telegraph minimum

requirements of Hong Kong as regards improvement of

existing services and provision of additional services

to neighbouring countries? If so will invite Company

to make offer for taking over service and meeting these

requirements within say twelve months.
