NO PROGRESS IN NEGOTIATIONS
MR. RUNCIMAN TO SEE AMBASSADOR TO-DAY
ACTION IN ABSENCE OF UNDERSTANDING
London and Manchester are to-day envisaging the possibility of the despatch by the Secretary of State to all British Colonies of instructions for, the imposition of a quota against Japanese imports.
Negotiations, with the Japanese Government for an agreement have not made progress and it is expected that Britain will be compelled to take inde- pendent action.
No official intimation has been made and it is not known how Hongkong's special position would be affected.
Mr. Runciman.
Its to be presumed, however, that Hongkong's frée po status, together with the fact that the Colony is principally a distributing centre, will involve some distinction from other Colonies, and that no quota system will be imposed here.
