It is reliably learned that the delay regarding air mail deliveries in Hong Kong, based on the lapse of time between the arrival of the mall-carrying plane in the Colony and delivery st local in the offices, may be remedied near future.
The proposal now under con- sideration envisages the provision of a fast launch which will be on 'hand at Kal Tack awaiting the arrival of the 'Imperial Airways, Cilpper, or whatever machine It may be, pick up the malls and speed for Blake Pler within a few minutes of arrival.
The launch, it is understood. will be capable of 25 to 30 knots. itting the mood, that the trouble involved in bringing malls to Hong Kong from London or San Francisco to Hong Kong in five or six days justines action at this erd.
