Prospects of Trade Returning with Nationalist Advance Hankow, June 6.
The British and American Cham. bers of Commerce have rejected the proposal for carrying out economic blockade of the Wu-Han District which was made by a Committee of various foreign Chambers fof Commerce here in retaliation for the imposition by the Wu-Han Gov-Jernment of taxes styled "embankment repair tax".
The refusal of the proposal on the part of the British and Ameri-Jean Chambers of Commerce is said to be due to their belief that such a step is disadvantageous to foreign. ers, because there are prospects of the Yangtze trade gradually return. ing to normal with the advance of the Nationalist forces.—Toho.
