FOREIGN POWERS AND THE CIVIL WAR.
THE ATTITUDE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN
BY THE POWERS.
A HONGKONG CHINESE VIEW.
[BY W.F.&.]
A Chinese correspondent resident in Hongkong, informed us that he had written an article entitled "Foreign Powers and the Civil War " giving what he regarded to be the Chinese point of view as to the attitude which the Powers should adopt. At his request we publish the article.
clear We are particularly anxious to obtain a statement of the Southern Chinese point of view but we are afraid our correspondent avoids the main issues. Be denounces Wu Pei Fu and Sun Chuan Fang in the same way as these two generals would probably denounce Chiang Kai Shek. That does not help us. Great Britain has maintained strictly neutrality in the conflict between North and South. She has a wish to be drawn into the struggle on one side or the other and her. greatest desire is that the Chinese should "decide for themselves " what form of Government" is good for them" then stick to it.

Our correspondent has first hand knowledge of Hongkong's adriais- tration and the trade relationship between this Colony and Canton He must know that Great Britain has always been a good friend of "China's. Why is it that the Southerners particularly are continually denouncing the' Eritish and endeavouring to inflict injury upon them." He does not touch upon this point. If that policy is to be pursued we should naturally hope that the Southern sphere of influence will not be extend- ed. If Great Britain's friendship is valued why is not this policy stopped? Our correspondent writes:-
The present Northern Expedition lastly between China as an independent against Wo Pei Fu and Sun Chuan Fang sovereign country and a mere vassal has a fundamental difference from the state. When the issue is clear us in previous civil wars between the Northorn the present civil war, the Chinese people warlords. The struggle in the North have no difficulty whatever in aligning in recent years were but the outcome of themselves with the side that champions personal hatred and jealousy of the their cause. Nothing could charge their military chiefs towards cach other, and mind. degenerated as always is, the case into a scheme for selfish aggrandizement and the increase of power and territory to the victorious party.. These "war barons aided and abetted by certain foreign countries regard the conquered provinces as their own property and hold them under the might of their mercenary troops or usually bandits in uniforms, As militarista of this category, Wu Pei Fu and Sun Chuan Fang are striking
examples.

THE PASSION FOR UNDRESSING.
"NAKED AND UNASHAMED."
GIRL BATHER FINED AT SOUTHEND.
[FROM OVE OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
LONDON, September 4th.
It sounds a bit strange to learn that a young London girl has been fined £2 at Southend-on-Sea for bathing near that popular resort off the bench in the nude. She was with male companions who were clad as lightly as herself. The Bench made the comment that there seemed to be a loose state of things locally, for it seems that the incident is by no means uncommon. The newspapers have been making appropriate observations; but there seems to be a passion for undress ing in, these days, from Southend to the Lido, as the untravelled, ena see from the picture papers. You find it on the stage and in the streets as well as by the sea- side. The question is where will it stop The girl bather, only went a bit further than others by being
"naked and unashamed."
