Britain Has No Intention Of Foregoing Treaty Rights

LONDON, July 14 (Reuter)—Well-informed circles in London express guarded optimism, concerning the outcome of the Craigie-Arita Burma Road negotiations, ac- cording to the Diplomatic Correspondent of the Sunday Times, who says that on the British side, every reasonable effort is being made to secure accommodation.

The same applies to issues raised regarding Hongkong.. With reference to the Japanese request to stop the passage of arms to China from Hongkong, it may be re- marked that no passage of this kind has taken place, since 1939.
