INDO-CHINA TRADE
BRITISH RESTRICTIONS CONCERN OF COMMANDER (British Official Wireless.) . RUGBY, August 28. In reference to a Press report that the British are refusing to give clearance papers to ships bound for IndoChina, the, position is that the issue of such orders is solely the concern of the Commander-in-Chief of the East Indian station. At his discretion he may take the measures he deems expedient to impose in those troubled waters. Though no information is available here confirmatory of this Press report, it may well be true that he found it necessary to exercise his authority in the sense indicated.
