Further consideration was given during the early part of the year to the ques tion of improved wireless communication, to which much space was devoted in the last Annual Report.
On January 20th, the Chamber inform ed the Government, in response to an en- quiry that, in its opinion the following were the directions in which wireless communication from Hongkong could be extended in the order of importance:----
(a) Communication with stations with
in a 500 miles circle of Hongkong. (6) Communication with medium die tance stations, e.g., Singapore; Shanghai and Manila.
(e) High power long distance com- munication with, for example, Australia, Aden, etc.
