CHINESE BOYCOTT
OF BRITISH TRADE AT HONGKONG
POLICY OF CONCILIATION BEARING FRUIT
London, February 10. In the House of Commons, in a lengthy statement on the Chinese boycott of British trade at Hong-Kong, Sir Austen Chamberlain said that the Canton Government was at present subject to such anti-British influences that a.teasonable settlement was hopeless. The position was quite different with the rest of China. Our policy of patience and conciliation was bearing fruit there. There was evidence that Communist influences were disgusting all sections of the Chinese. This resentment would undoubtedlv spread and, if intervention, bv a foreign Power strengthened the extremists, it would unite China against aggression; He thought that no good purpose would be achieved bv sending a special commissioner to negotiate with Canton.—Aus.-N.Z.
