PEKING TELNO.INDUS 14: HONG KONG/CHINA COUNTER TRADE.

1. I SHARE PEKING'S VIEW THAT POSTPONEMENT OF BENJAMIN'S VISIT · TO CHINA NEED NOT HARM OUR COUNTER TRADING STRATEGY. MORE IMPORTANT THAN SPEED IS THE NEED TO ENSURE. THAT OUR SELLING

PROPOSALS ARE FULLY SUPPORTED BY BRITISH INDUSTRY AND BY KADOORIE.

2. KADOORIE HAS UNDERTAKEN TO PUT FORWARD SPECIFIC SALES PROPOSALS (SEE PARA.1 OF MY INDUS 67) AND IS FINALISING HIS OWN DRAFT. NOW

THAT THE KWANGTUNG ELECTRICITY BUREAU ARE SENDING ENGINEERS TO CLP (MY INDUS 71), HE WILL WANT PRIORITY AFFORDED TO A TRANSMISSION

LINK.

3. I AM GLAD TO SEE FROM YOUR INDUS 133 THAT BENJAMIN WILL STILL

VISIT HONG KONG. I SUSPECT THAT THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR FURTHER

CONSULTATIONS IN LONDON FOLLOWING HIS DISCUSSIONS WITH KADOORIE.
