SINO-BURMA BORDER DELIMITATION

AN EXCHANGE OF NOTES between the Chin- ese and British Governments on the delimitation of the Sino-Burma frontier, took place in Chungking at 5 p.m. yesterday.

One Note defines in detail the line which is to be the frontier between Yunnan and Burma and another Note defines the boundaries of the area on the Burma side of the frontier in which the Burman Government agrees to permit Chinese participation in any mining enterprise which may be undertaken by British concerns.
