Sir,

With reference to Colonial Office letter

No.53846/38 of the 21st January, regarding the assembly

at Hong Kong of ambulance aircraft purchased by the

Chinese Red Cross, I am directed by Mr. Secretary Eden

to inform you that he agrees, subject to the concurrence

of the Secretary of State for Air, to the proposal that

the Governor of Hong Kong be informed that the assembly

of these aeroplanes should be permitted, if the

impossibility of their conversion to military use can

be verified before assembly.

The Under-Secretary of State,

I am,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Gw. Unde
