FÜRSION OFFICS, S.7.1.

5th May, 1932.

I had the honour to inform Mr.Tsuneo Matsudaira in

my note No.F 3175/2087/23 of the 9th April that I was

consulting the competent authorities of His Majesty'a

Government in the matter of the proposed direct wireless

telegraph service between Hongkong and Japan which was raised in lis Excellency's note No.49 of April 4th.

2. I have now been informed that it is anticipated

that the Hongkong "ireless Service will shortly be transferred by the Government of llongkong to Imperial and International Communications Limited. In these

circumstances, His Majesty's Government in the United

Kingdom feel that it would be more convenient if any

negotiations having new services in view were conducted

with the company when the transfer has been completod.

I have the honour to be,

with high consideration,
