Speed Is Of The Essence
THE speed with which netion followed Keswick's suggestion that a British industrial mission should be sent to Peking to negotiate the future of British business in China is highly encouraging, albeit it may merely denote full reallsation that anything effective to be done brooks of no delay. What has been previously revealed at other meet- ings of China Association stalwarts, and in approaches to the Foreign Ofice. permits of little misunderstanding. Trade stagnation in a great industrial uren like Shanghai, plus the drasilc tax programme intended, among other thinge, to halt in. fiation and give stability to Communist currency-an effort attended by marked Ruccess has forced hundreds of enter- prises to the wall, and made damaging inroads into the resources of heavily capitalised British industrial organisa- tions operating In China.

It is beyond doubt that the battle against in- flation brought China's internal economy to such a low ebb as to threnten disaster, The urgent need of cultivating belter trade relations with the West impressed itself upon them, whether or not they are prepared to go far wholeheartedly.
