WAITING MANILA'S DECISION

Hongkong Unable To Proceed With Interport Arrangements Until Acceptance Is Final

(By "Ripple")

THOUGH TIME is running short, the situa tion as regards the interport with the Philippines is still somewhat obscure. The recent trend of 8. events in the Far East has given rise to certain alarm, and with the advice to American nationals to quit if their presence here is not absolutely necessary, Amorican interests in the Philippines are hardly likely to grant permission for others to come in.

A cable has been received by Mr. A. O. Barretto, Hon. Secretary of the V.R.C., from the P.I. stating that the P.A.A.F. is awaiting a reply from Washington to a cable requesting advice.

And so, Hongkong, perforce, must wait too,

It will be a great pity and a greater disappointment if the year.
