A
CANTON report said the Chinese authorities were preparing for negotia- tions with the Hongkong Government for the
vision of the existing con- tract concerning the Canton- Kowloon Railway.
The provision in the existing contract that 60 per cent of the through traffic receipts of the Railway go to the Chinese see- tion and 40 per cent to the Bri- tish is regarded as unsatisfac- tory.
In seeking the revision of the provision the Chinese authorl- ties are likely to claim à seventy per cent share.
(Canton claims a percentage on a mileoge basis; but it is pointed out in reply, that the British section traverses more difficult country and costa more).
