of the Hankow agreement was mex

Sir Austen said that he believed
similar reasons had led other inter

British government did not propose
to address any further notes to Eu-
gene Chan, the Cantonese foreign
minister at HankOw.
Great Britain, the foreign minister
said, has informed the other powers
of it's decision but has reserved full
liberty of action concerning the fu-
ture and particularly concerning
further outrages which might be per-
petuated upon the British flag,
British subjects and British prop
erty.
Great Britain also has decided not
to reoccupy the British concession
