The Bolshevists arc making the fullest use of Hit.; situation.

They arc attempting to stimulate anti- British and anti-foreign feeling generally and to cement the relations between the Chinese nationalists and them- selves. In their new treaty all capitulations and guar- antees from China to Russia have been abandoned and a position of complete equality has been set up. The General Council of the Trades Unions Congress hai sent an ill-judged telegram to the Chinese workers' Com- -mittee at Peking congratulating them on their deter- mination to fight international capitalism ; " expressing its abhorrence of the appalling industrial conditions imposed in Chinese factories " and " looking forward to the building up of a firm industrial organization in 'China.' A British engineer, Mr. Mackenzie, was mur- dered outside Shanghai on Tuesday and his companion wounded. Thus feeling among the foreigners must be embittered.- At present' the obStaele to a peaceful solution lies in the impOtence of any Chinese Government. The foreign representatives do. their best but their notes n are delivered to men who have no control of the situation.
