THE DECLARATION OF LONDON
HONG KONG'S SUPPORT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Hong Kong, January 29. • The Chamber of Commerce is supporting the London Chamber's attitude re the Declaration of London.
THE TIMES' VIEWS. Received 3(1. 10.55 p.m. London, January 30. The Times, in an article analysing the Declaration, states that it might perhaps be best to accept the Declaration, with all its defects, to welcome the substantial boons it confers, and to submit to the drawbacks, if the result of refusal to ratify it were complete isolation. That, however, in all probability, would not be so, provided we negotiated with the countries agreeing with us on certain cardinal points. The Times adds that it is not unlikely America would adopt our views upon several points of vital importance, especially on the legal position of foodstuffs. Heretofore the policies of the United States and Britain regarding international law have been much the same. "Our precedents have been theirs and theirs ours; we have been guided by Marshall and Story, they by Stowell. Let the common course of development be continued and extended by the Anglo-Ameri-can Declaration, and such agreement could not fail to attract the adhesion of other Powers."
