BRITISH SHIPS ARRIVE WITH S'HAI EVACUEES
Of the more than 20 European passengers who arrived in Hong Kong from Shanghai aboard the ss. Shengking yesterday, 16 thought that the People's Government should be recognis ed as the only Chinese govemment. Those who disagreed gave as their main reasons the fact that the People's Government was Soviet-directed, and that it is a dictatorship that China cannot rid itself of for years; even if it becomes corrupt. The British Ambassador in Nanking, Sir Ralph
Stevenson, would not comment whether hitt recall by the British Government was" a pre- lude to British recognition of the Chinese Communists.
