AMBASSADOR'S ASSERTION
Nanking, July 19.
The British Ambassador, Sir Ralph Stevenson, asserted today that Hong Kong regards itself as China's "good neighbour” with vital interest in seeing a healthy,, prosperous China. Sir Rolph, who leaves on Wednesday for a three-month vacation in Eng- land, told the United Press in an exclusive interview: "Hong Kong has done as much as any government possibly con, even at the ex- pense of some of its sovereign rights, to help prevent smuggling." But "decisive measures" must be taken by China; he said, to prevent the
flight of Chinose capital to the British Crown colony. He pointed out the Unite Kingdom was laced with the problem during and after the war, ant solved it by enforcing restrictions through the banks and not by demanding that countries bar the entry of British capital.

He said heavy punishment also was meted out to shippers of non- cargo in an attempt manifested
to check smuggling to and froin China.
