There was loud cheering and laughter on Mr. H.Chaplin, rising from his placo as "Leader of the Opposition," request. ing a statement or the business of the House.
Mr. Penne made a personal statement in which ba declared there were no differences of opinion between himself and his colleagues, to whom be paid a tribute, and affirmed that he placed implicit confidence in the judgment of Mr. Asquith.
TRADING WITH THE ENEMY IN
CHINA.
Lopes, June 4. The Times, in a leading article, says the question of trading with the enemy in China cannot be further shelved in view of the strong appeal made to the Government by the Chias Association, and a resolution passed at the Shang. bai Chamber of Commerce. It is con tended that the Government refused to prohibit trade with Germans in Chias owing to powerful indusaces at Man chester.
The Times thinks that if the Govern meat toot only the logical view that Germane in China are enomias, the blanchester trade would not suffer, because it would be quickly transferred into purely British channels.
