BRITISH THREATEN CHINESE BLOCKADE Step May Be Taken if Boy-! cott and Outrages Continue. Consulate Looted. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 5—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Hongkong says that a British blockade of Chi- nese ports is foreshadowed in Hong- kong official circles if the anti-Brit- ish outrages and boycott continue. British Consulate Looted. CANTON," August 5 (#).—Reports say that looting of the British consu- late at Wuchow, 180 miles west of Canton, took place immediately after the buflding was ordered abandoned as a result of the anti-foreign agita- tion by Chinese. The situation in Canton is ex- tremely quiet, but the strike of Chi- nese workers continues. At the French concession in Shameen, the international settlement, Anamites have been imported to replace strik- ing Chinese servants. Chu Chao-wu, Chinese leader, is seriously ill at a hospital here and trouble is feared at any time between the “Red” and the anti-Red faction of the controlling Chinese military | group. Strike Is Urged. HONGKONG, August 5 (P).—At a| meeting of workers in Canton yester- | day a resolution was passed urging a strike, as more effective than a boy- cott “in fighting the imperialist “We are certain of victory,” the resolution says, “because we hold the life of Hongkong in our hands.” The volunteer military unit, muster- | ed several weeks ago in anticipation of trouble from striking Chinese op- posed to foreign activities, was de-. mobilized today.

METHOD HAS PROVED SUCCESSFUL ELSEWHERE City Heads’ Right to Regulate Pe- destrian Traffic Held Un- questioned. Regulation of pedestrians crossing Sixteenth street when the new auto- matic signal lights are turned on sout October 1 is being serfously con- sidered by Traffic Director Eldridge. The traffic director has been impres: ed by reports of the success other cities have had in enforcing jay-walk- ing rules on certain streets by re- quiring the pedestrian who starts | across at the wrong time to return to the curb and awalt his turn instead of arresting him. Mr. Eldridge has been told by visitors from other places that this method of penalizing has proved even more effective than arrests. Corporation Counsel Stephens said | today the Commissioners undoubtedly | have power under the traffic act to regulate the movemerit of pedestrians across roadways, upon recommenda- tion of the traffic director. Mr. Eldridge pointed out today that when the automatic signal lights are | Lafayette Square to Newton street it | will be essential for walkers to cross{ with the traffic instead of against it if they are to make the journey safely. | Timing Is Considered. During rush hours the signal ap- paratus may be timed to allow traffic light changes. Then the lights will change and cross traffic will move for a somewhat shorter interval. Mr. Eldridge hopes by a campaign of education between now and Octo- ber to convince the walking public that it will be to its own advantage | to walk with the signal lights on Six- | teenth street. Later the automatic| signal lights will be installed on other | thoroughfares.

The Star’ * { BRITAIN MAY COPY Expert Says London Watches | Our Policy for Own * Guidance. By the Associated Press WILLIAMSTOWN, 5.—Great Britain is breathless interest the policy pursued by the United States in the Pacific, Arnold J. Toynbee, professor of his. Mass., August | tory in London University, said at an Institute of Politics conference here | today. The British dominions bordering on the Pacific and Indian Oceans are likely to follow the lead of this coun- | in the creation of a hostile’ or friendly atmosphere in that part of the world, he said. Prof. Toynbee spoke of the problem of contact between the civilized Oriental peoples, such as the Indians, Chinese and Japanese, and the new peoples of European origin overseas, “a problem produced either by the mingling of KEuropean and Oriental populations in a new coun- try, such as Natal or California, or by the imminent possibility of such mingling, as in Australia.” Sees Britain Fitted for Task. “In my personal belief,” he con- tinued, “one of the great potential ! values of the British commonwealth | lies in the fact that it includes great peoples of both classes, and that it therefore offers a framework within which a peaceful solution of the prob- lem of contact between them may conceivably be worked out. “But the three-cornered relationship between, say, the British, the Indian and South African governments over the question of Indian immigration into South Africa is obviously ex- tremely difficult and success or failure in solving this and kindred problems rhay well be decided by almost im- ponderable changes in the general in- ternational atmosphere in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. “From our point of view it is all important that racial and cultural | animosities should be clamped down, and that political and social align- ments should be prevented from fol- lowing racial and cultural lines. But we, living off the coasts of Europe,| do not possess the initiative in_ the Indian Ocean and the Pacific.
