TRADE PROSPECTS BRIGHT Optimistic Note Struck HK's Tin Allocation Italians Throw By UK Mission Leader
Discussion With Governor And Hongkong Businessmen On Conditions In The Colony
"There is no doubt, taking a long-term view, that prospects of trade between China and Great Britain are great," declared Sir Leslie Boyce, head of the British Trade Mission to China, during a press con- ference this morning." "We hope the pattern will be a mutual two-way trade,” he added.
Sir Leslie said that the Mission would not negotiate for a trade treaty between Britain and China. Such nego- tiations between Britain, China and Amerlen were being carried out through diplomatic channels and had been going on for some time.

ARE ON COMMON GROUND
London, Oct. 6-On the eve of Parliament's re-opening on Tuesday some British political obser- vers are asking whether the Conservative Opposition envisages the likelihood of a coalition with the Labour Party at some future date.
They point to the Opposition leader, Mr Winston Churchill's reference at Blackpool Conference yesterday to the subjects upon which the two principal British parties are on common ground-their-anti-Communism, their broad agreement on foreign policy, particularly in reference to Britain's association with the United States and her, desires for, friendship with Russin, and their like mind upon much social legislation at home.
