TOP SECRET. 2. AIR PHOTOGRAPHS SOUTH CHINA. THE COMMITTEE had before them a Minute by the Secretary+ covering a Minute by the War Office, reporting a requirement by G.H.Q., Far East Land Forces for vertical air cover of South China, at least between Hong Kong and Canton. BRIGADIER BOUCHER said that, as very little cover of this area was held in the United Kingdom, the Joint Services Mission, Washington, had been asked to approach the Americans for release of the air photographs required. They had replied that this would not be possible without approval from the Chinese Government.
