schemes reported in that telegram, . the

assembly of machines for H.M.G. and the

provision of equipment for Imperial

Airways. As I am telling Dodwell I will

see him some time towards the end of next

week if he wishes, I should be grateful if

we could have a reply to that letter at the

earliest possible moment.

What I should like to be able to

tell them is, as suggested in our letter of

the 28th January, that H.M.G. will have no

(8)

objection to his establishing a factory

ed

in Hong Kong providing that it is clearly

understood that he will not be allowed to

export aeroplanes to China while hostilities

continue.

Jours sincerely

(Sga) S.E.V. Luke

(for H. R. Cowell).
