RESOLUTION REGARDING TRADE WITH THE ENEMY, IN CHINA.
(From Our Own Correspondent).
Shargbai, May 31, 11.15 p.m. One hundred and thirty representatives of the Bitish Brms in Shangbai adopted drastic rules for the British Chamber of Com- merce to ensure help only for Britone. The expenses of the Chamber have been guaranteed for five years.
It was resolved: That the meeting regrets the action of the Government in tacitly sanctioning trading with the enemy in Chins and urges that the wording of the King's Regulations be amended so as to preclude such trading with China and to authorise the necessary steps to bring it before the Government,'
No bank representative has been elected to the Committee.
