Sir Auckland. It was impossible to imagine that the Chinese people as such had begun to realize what | the British policy was. They were being fed, as they had been fed now for years, with a desire to get rid of the foreigner, and the foreigner who was most in evidener, the for eigner who had done must to build the trade of China, was the Briton. and therefore the thing was anti- British. The Chinese had no right to interfere with the foreign Settle ments or Concessions until some treaty arrangement had been made to modify the status of these Settle ments and Concessions. The Bri- tish Government, he thought, had Ox steered a masterly course in its relations with China, and with the other interested Fowers.
It is into a movement of that sort that has come the influence of Moscow, finding the ground deeply tilled and prepared, so that it could swing the whole movement China into anti British channels. It has suited their game, and it has suited their book, and they have played their game, as they always play it, with energy and skill. Their gure at the present moment is to do as much harm to the British Empire as they can.
