SINO-BRITISH CRISIS
Report Denied (Rec. 10.30 p.m.)' LONDON, Aug. 19.

Tire British authorities deny that there has been a “race” between Britain and China to receive the Japanese surrender at Hongkong. He added it is known that the Chinese Government hopes for the ultimate return of Hongkong to China, therefore it is unlikely that Britain would prejudice the matter over such a minor question as the surrender of the few thousand Japanese troops
