Americans No Longer In A Hurry
Washington, May 19.
American treaty makers believe a formal peace with

Shanghai, May 20,
The National Government's efforts to conclude a currency agreement with Hong Kong may not meet with immedi atc success, because Hong Kong's Government is reluct ant to impose restrictions which would be too strict on business in the British Co- lony, according to the China Press, quoting a spokesman of the Central Bank of China.
