AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND REPATRIATION.
The American Chamber of Commaren of Tientsin an December 11 voted to cooperate with the British Chamber Lof Commerce in action looking to the repatriation of all enemy subjects, in Chins. The proposal for repatriation was first brought to the attention of the
· British Chamber by the Peking, British Chamber of Commerce, which suggested the repatriation of Germans only. The British Chamber here considered that this action was ook suficiently thorough- going, and has approached Sir Joha Jordan asking that all enemy subjects | be repatriated, and that an undertaking bo seared from China to the effect that no enemy subject ball be allowed to come to China for a certain length of time. The American Chamber adopted the views of the local British Chamber.
Mr. Heintaleman addressing the meeting said that he had approached the Legssion on the subject several days ago, and that the Legation had already telegraphed to Washington for informe „tion as to what attitude they were to adopt vis-a-vis the Chinese Government. Mr. Heintleman continned saying that objections' might be urged against the plan on the ground that the step ann amplated was unninal, and that milar action might not be taken by other belligerents, but the aniwer to his he said, that the other belligerenta were able and presarad with funds to exercisa a strict police surveillance over enemy alisus, hot for the period of the war but there after. China hot being in a position to axcrcina soch supervision, would find repostriation a more appropriate and Convenient remedy.
