JAPANESE SABOTAGE: BRITISH INVESTMENTS MENACED
HONG KONG, SEPTEMBER 11th, 1938
LTHOUGH no information is available, it is believed that matters
A of great economic and financial importance hays been discussed
between the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and the British Ambassador to Japan.
One of the most important matters tor discussion is that of British investments in China, estimated to be over £300,000,000. Other problems include that of shipping in Chinese waters and matters pertaining to British Loans for Chinese railways. Requests were made for the return of the railways involved to the control of joreign staffs. Nearly £3,500,000 is outstanding alone on the Nanking-Shanghai railway. This loan was secured on the Revenues, (permanent way, rulling stock and machinery, and as regular trame hubber pened by the Japanese on this line, revenue is being collected by them, but no statement of accounts has been submitted and the foreign staff has been refused permission to their duties, neither has permission been accorded to inspectors to visit this raway. A similar situation is reported on the Shanghai-Hangchow- Ningpo Railway, on which a loan of over a million pounds is secured: Detailed reference to British interests in the inajor railways of China, many of which are badly affected by the undeclared war, was made by Mr. D. G. M. Bernard at the last general meeting of the British and Chinese Corporation Limited in London.
LAWLESSNESS

No solution. so far. has been reached regarding the action of the Japanese military authorities in closing Chinese inland waters to British shipping. In fact early last month the Japanese an- nounced the organisation of an inland shipping service and with the assistance of the Japanese Government and army has obtained. This the monopoly of navigation in the Shanghai hinterland. shipping service, known as the Kiangau-Cheklang Steamship Com- pany, has a capital of two million yen.
As strict restrictions are placed by the Japanese authorities ori shipping in general in an attempt to drive foreign shipping out of business in China, it is reported that consideration is being given by the British Government to the closure of all British ports to
Japanese shipping. unless China Coast and inland waterways are opened to British shipping.

Authoritative statistics collected by foreign trade experts indicate that in these this year, 80 per cent of the import trade, was done by the Japanese and 70 per cent of the export trade.
