In a conversation with Wr.Castle today he informed me
that about a mouth or
a mouth or 80 AgO
so ago three fighting aeroplanes,
Hawks he believed, had been delivered at Canton from
Hongkong without any licence having been obtained from
Hanking. He sold that the Canton overnment at present
was ostensibly quite frica 12 with the Central Government
st lancing, and that the latter had made no complaint
about these aeroplanes, and possibly did not know about them
Yet Htc 'njeety's Lovernment in these motters had alvaj a
heen meticulously correct and he was puzzled to now why
the proper procedure had not been follosed in the present
chse, if his facts were correct. He was not speaking to
me at all in ang tone of complaint, but he thought it due
to His Majesty's Government to drew attention to the
circumstances.
