To the Editor of the "Nortu-Crixa Datty News."
Sir,—In your leading article of to-day's date you refer to the speech by the Chairman of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank in Hongkong on February 24, and to your interpretation of it and state that no contradiction of your interpretation has come. A telegram from the Chairman of the Bank was received by my Committee several days ago stating that your interpretation of his speech was incorrect, Publicity was not given to this fact at the time because the Chambers had no wish to continue in controversy, but your article of today's date makes publication necessary in the general interest.
I am, ete., A. W. Burxtt. The Association of British Chambers of Commerce.
