United Kingdom to investigate the possibility of installing Japanese radio equipment in Hong Kong registered ships. My enquiries have shown that delivery of British Marconi equipment into Japan is guaranteed by the time a kool is laid provided it is specified in the building contract. The prices coapara favourably with Japanese equipment of similar quality, In fact many ships are being currently built in Japan for Liborian registry and are being fitted with Eritish built Marconi rudlo equipzent as a matter of preference.
"
In conclusion I see no major obstacle or inconvenience in your registering vessels in Hong Kong either as new construction or transferring from foreign registry. ProblemsS of operating under the British flag occasioned by shortages of qualified officers could be alleviated by the judicicus use of my powers of exemption matched with your own conditions of service.
