CANTON-KOWLOON RAILWAY

Anglo-China's Forthcoming Negotiations From Our Own Conarsestenr

Hongkong, May 29.

With the increase in revenue of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, the /Kuangtung Provincial Government Jwill shortly send two representatives to approach the British section for jo revision of the existing contract Jwhich was concluded more than fourteen years ago. The Chinese section hopes by a new agreement to secure a better percentage of income. [Five officials are appointed by the provincial government to study the Jexisting agreement and will reach Jsome sort of proposals before two representatives are formally. instructed to negotiate with the Hongkong government for a new contract.

Railways officials here are rather lpuazled by the fact that the Ministry lof Railways in Nanking will also Jsend down some men to conduct parleys with the British authorities who are wondering whether they should talk over the matter with Nanking or Canton officials or both.
