only audible criticism of the evil con- ditions comes from the European or the American. Such criticism is likely to be resented rather than supported by the Chinese. It will be one more case of foreign interferenes with China's sover. eign rights

PROTECTING THE FOREIGNER Thirty armed men of Chang Tso-lin's bodyguard are quartered, by arrange ment, at the British Consulate.

There will be no general rising against the foreigner just now in this neighbourhood, so long as Marshal Chang is here, though there may be strikes, boycotts, and sporadic murders. The Paking Government counts for nothing The country has become Lecustomed to other rulers. The reign of the bandits was bad, the struggles of the
militarists were worse; but the reign of the
patriots-backed by the Soviets, with Feng Yu-haining at their head, will be worse than the other two together..
Such is the Treaty port view of China's present grievous ills.
