LONDON, December 4th An influential section of the Conserva tive Party in Parliament are applying strong pressure upon the Government to refuse to receive in London a successor to M. Krussin, the Soviet Charge d'Affaires, who died recently.

OT more.
Curious to recall, the strike and boy cott at Hong Kong last year left Me- bers of Parliament and the Press com- paratively cold. I believe the impression was that Hong Kong Being a British Colony was strong enough to cope with the unfriendly manifestations of the Chinese on the spot. There was also a widespread idea that the trouble would right itself in time. Also, there wis the idea that the Peking Government would do.something. But now that it is seen that the Peking Government is a mere shadow, while the cables tell of "danger to the tiny British community in Han kow, isolated and surrounded by hordes of Moscow-led and Communist-inspired anti-British Chinese, public indignation is fully aroused.

The Fun Begins.
This was the signal for the beginning of such a scene of uproar and disorder as has never before been experienced in the secluded and decorous headquarters of the Protestaat Diocesan Council and Synod of Down, Connor, and Dromore..
All sorts of epithets and execrations were hurled at the apenker and the plat form party in general, while many of the otherwise "well conducted and polite ammered persons who came to support the proceedings so far forgot their good breeding, and lost their tempors for the mement as to engage in unequal words warfare with the opponents of Farism and its works and pomps. For a time Un dini was so intense that it was im possible to pick up more than a fraction of any single sentence.
No useful purpose would be served if I were to devote space to an analysis of public opinion here regarding reports from China which are pouring into the newspaper offices daily. The position may be entirely changed to-morrow or next week. But it may be placed upon record that the general feeling is that most of the trouble is due to the machina- tions of Moscow. Therefore, it is argued, if the Government for reasons of high Undismayed, the gallant captain strug policy will not actively interfere in China gied on with his address, calling forth at the present time against the Bolshevik all his reserve lung power in the effort to disturbers of the peace who are operating make himself heard above the tumult. against British intereats in that country, we ought to deal very firmly with the Bolsheviks in another way.

Another Kewspaper Deal. Still another change in Fleet Street The Daily Chronicle and allied papers, which have been controlled by Mr. Lloyd George and a group of wealthy men of the same political persuasion since the war, have been sold to a group represent ed by Lord Reading, Sir David Yule, and Sir Thomas Catto. There are various estimates as to price, and one Fleet Street authority puts it at £2,000,000, but I have reason to believe that the amount was still larger.
