HAINAN ISLAND
SUPPOSED AMERICAN PROPOSAL JOINT REPRESENTATIONS TO JAPAN. MR KENNEDY'S EARLY RETURN TO LONDON. (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, February 16. Well-informed circles believe that one of the reasons for the sudden return to London from America of the American Ambassador to Britain (Mr J. P. Kennedy), a fortnight earlier than was scheduled, was due to an American desire for a joint English, French and United States demarche regarding the Japanese occupation of Hainan Island. ANOTHER MOVE NAVAL ACTION IN YANGTSE. FOREIGN SHIPS ASKED TO WITHDRAW. (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) TOKIO, February 16. Preparatory to further naval operations, foreign ships have been asked to withdraw thirty miles from Haimenling (on the northern shore of the Yangtse-Kiang estuary). Japan is disclaiming responsibility for damage to those refusing. Haimenting's trade has greatly increased since the occupation of larger ports.
