EUROPEANS IN EAST
"Europeans at our branches in China and Japan were told many months ago that they were at liberty to leave their posts at any time should their situation become critical." said Mr. V. J. Larner, chairman of directors of the South British Insurance Company, Limited, at the annual meeting yesterday. "This invitation is still open, but up to the present it has not been accepted. Our small office in Yokohama . has been closed, but our branch at Tokio is still functioning. We have for some years been drawing very useful profits from Japan, and it is only in recent months that business commenced to dwindle seriously. It is quite possible that by this time it has censer] altogether. We feel, however, that it would be a mistake to take any hasty action in regard to the closing of our organisation in the meantime."
