There is little to say about China except that the .

situation is very disturbing. If the British Government have any definite information they have been careful to keep it to themselves. On Tuesday Mr. Ronald McNeill convinced most members of the House of Commons that the recent killing of some of the Chinese students .at Shanghai was inevitable. The mob of demonstrators tried to force the police station with the cry of " kill the• foreigner," and the police seem to have displayed great restraint as long as possible. Mr: McNeill went on to say that the one object of British policy was to make China. peaceful and prosperous. It was hoped that at the coming Tariff Conference there would be an opportunity of working with other Powers for the good of China.
