Reports from Chinese sources indicate that there is likely to be some opposition to a termination of the boycott from the "Prince" clique of the Kuomintang, headed by Mr. Sun Fo, and that new organisation is being formed to maintain the dis- erimination against British goods.

Meanwhile, local Chinese accept a tèrmination of the boyectt as a certainty, and the result is seen in a revival of business on the sbare market and a decline in the sterling value of the dollar.
