HANKOW CONCESSION,

British Policy Re-stated.

London, Oct. 16. · A recent meeting of the Far London Eastern section of the Chamber of Commerce passed a unanimous resolution urging that in view of the disastrous results of the handing over of the Hankow Concession it was not desirable that' the Government should initiate or continue negotiations for the mo- dification of the status of the other Concessions or Treaty Ports at present.

With reference to reports in connexion with this, Reuter learns that the British Government does not intend to re-occupy the British Concession at Hankow at present. It is pointed out that should the necessity arise Britain will na- turally have to reconsider the position, but at present there appear to be no grounds for making, such action necessary-Reuter.
