Nanking. Nov, 2.
The reopening of Hankow and Nanking to foreign ocean-going steamers was advocated today by Lord Ammon, leader of the British Parliamen- tary Goodwill Mission to China. Speaking at the Mission's final press conference in Nanking on the eve of its departure for home via Canton, the Labour MP said that the ports of Canton, Amoy, Shanghai and Tientsin were open to foreign shipping and he was of the opinion that the Chinese Government had 'made a mistake in closing the Yangtze ports
of Hankow and Nanking.
