THE NEW CHINA.
REVISION OF TREATIES.
SCRAMBLE FOR TRADE CONCESSIONS.
(Australian Press Association). SHANGHAI, Aug. 22. As a result of the satisfactory settlement of tho Nanking incident of March, 1927, Mr W. M. Hewlett, the British Consul, is proceeding to Nanking to take up his residence ashore. Since the incident the consular duties have been carried out aboard a warship anchored on tho Nanking waterfront.
It is reported that Germany is transferring her Embassy from Pekin to Nanking, the first western nation thus to recognise the Nationalists. There appears to be a scramble among the nations to secure the special trade concessions promised by the Nationalists to the nations quickly revising their treaties on tho basis of equality. Following closely on tho heels of the conclusion of a new Sino-German commercial treaty, pledging equality of Customs treatment, it is reported that tho Belgian Charge d’Affaires has made a special journey to Nanking to discuss treaty revision with the Nationalist Ministry of Foreign Affairs. America has already concluded >a new treaty, and Portugal and Britain have expressed willingness to do so. Italy and Japan alone are adamant.
