Referring to the "very deplorĮ able" incidents at Nanking, he said they could not be left where they were. He expressed the greatest confidence in British officials, but suggested Mr. Chen's reports were usually so truthful that his account of the Nacking affair was worthy of consideration and further enquiry.
Goodwill and Conciliation.
Mr. MacDonald concluded by appealing for the restoration of such an atmosphere of goodwill and conciliation as would enable further negotiations. A statement should be issued emphasising that we stood where we did when the British Note was issued at the end of last year. He suggested that. quiry by the committee of the League of Nations be held, and asked whether it was true the new troops going to China would be used as a mobile column. He asked how far we were acting alone in these preparations and in streng- thening our forces.
Mr. MacDonald expressed appre hension that British trade would eventually suffer through Chinese ill-will.
Labcurites Belaboured,

Two Chinese shops, the Kwong Wing Shing and the Kwong Wo Cheong, were summoned before Mr. R. E. Lindsel, at the Central Magistracy yesterday, for selling thermes flasks bearing a label regis. tered in the Colony by another party.
Mr. Horace Lo appeared for the defendants, and Mr. H. L. Dennys, Jr., represented the complainant.
When the case was called, Mr. Dennys told the Bench that his client had agree to withdraw the Both defendants had summons. apologised and had undertaken not to sell the flasks. They had also. agreed to indemnify any loss which the complainant might have suffer. ed. The flasks seized would be turned to the defendants on their undertaking to destroy the labels.
Mr. Lo said that his clients had agreed to do what was requested, but he wished to assure the Court that the fiasks were imported in the usual way and that both defen- dants had no knowledge that they were infringing on the trade mark of another party. He asked for an order that the goods seized be re- turned.

Sir Austen read long reports, "to give critical members some iden of what life in China was like at present."
The position was very difficult owing to the absence of any united Chinese Government, so every con- versation with one authority caused suspicion and jealousy with the other, and any concession made to one was distasteful to the other, who preferred that a concession be not made rather than it be made to opponents.
