Your "Chungking Confidential" telegram dated the 6th
is to hand, the contents of which have been carefully noted.
With reference to the sending of messages by our station, we will
act as instructed. For your information, I wish to enumerate
below what has been taking place recently and the reasons for
having telegrams despatched by the Radio Office :-
With reference to the establishment of a station here, the
Hong Kong Government, being handicapped by the International
Telegraphic and Fostal Regulations, cannot consent to the
establishment of radio stations in Hong Kong, no matter which
organisation, and our Bank was only allowed to connect SHUM CHUN
by telephone for communication purposes.
Our men were evacuated and our apparatus brought to Hong
Kong Territory after the recent withdrawal of our SHUM CHUN
station, which fact is well known to the Hong Kong Government.
This means that before we re-build our SHUM CHUN Station we
cannot transmit messages in Hong Kong. Therefore, if we do not
send some of the messages to the Radio Office to be despatched,
the Government will suspect that we have unlawfully established
a radio station, thus causing attention and investigation.
