THE RUSSO-GERMAN BOMB SHELL
the
Genoa, April 18. An acutely eritical situation has suddenly arisen at Genoa as a result of the signature to the Russo-German Treaty by M. Chicherin and Harr Rathenau, which had the effect of a bombshell both in Genoa and the Allied capitals. The withdrawal of the French delegation is one of the numerous possibilities arising. It is not thought, however, that the incident will result in break-up of the Conference. It is pointed out that Russia primarily wants money, which Germany cannot supply, so it is expected that Moscow's back will not be stiffened unbendably towards the Allies damands by a diplomatic triumph involving full recognition of the Soviet by Germany and virtual re-establishment of pre-War rela- tions with the reciprocal appointment of Ambassadors and Consuls. Russo-German The possibility of the Treaty developing into Alliance is not overlooked. While the Daily Chronicle finds little intrinsic fault with the terms of the treaty, most of the morning newspapers are considerably perturbed. The Times and Morning Post urge the necessity of complete Franco-British understanding to meet the defance danger involved.
CHINA'S POLITICS.
Genoa, April 18. Sir Charles Addis, interviewed by Reuter, at Genos, declared the gravity of the political situation in China was exaggerated There was no ground for a quarrel between the North and South. Political changes in Peking were mainly Cabinet changes and did Det imply any alteration of the method of government. China had always emerged from such vicissitudes as a homogeneous nation and doubtless would do so again. The only obstacle to the union was the Military Governors, who usurped government diverted revenue and otherwise oppressed the people; but there were signs that the people were growing restive and combining against mili- tary despotism. If a fiscal boycott was established, the reign of these despots would be shortlived; meanwhile, foreign trade was not affected as might be supposed. He pointed out that exports. and imparts for 1920 were a record, while the yield of the Customs and Salt Gabelle was greater than ever. Even the railways show. ed a surplus. When the Central Government was established the possibilities were infinite. Chinese statesmen recognised the ad- vantages of the Washington Conference and there was no doubt that Japan would loyally fulfil her obligations. Already a better Chino- Japanese understanding was manifest, to the advantage of all round trade and pre-perity.
CHINA AND OPIUM.

Sir John Jordan is proceeding to Geneva to-day to represent Britain on the Opium Commission sitting under the auspices of the League of Nations. Interviewed by Reuter's representative, he said that the Commission would attempt to determine the world's medical needs as regards opium, but only the pressure of public opinion would make the nations concerned agree to limitation. He was of the opinion that the spium problem depended on the poppy crop. There had never been so thorough and widespread a move- Employers Dissatisfied.

GREAT BRITAIN AND JAPAN.
London, April 18.
In an article in the Daily Mail headed "Watch Japan," Lord Northelife discasses the danger he asserts threatens the world generally, and the British Empire particularly, from the Japanese military party. He draws attention to the size of Japan's army and her growing naval superiority in Chinese waters. He sug gests that the Japanese have not relinquished their plan of master- ing China and, as a result of the Washington Conference, will merely alter their tactics to suit the new circumstances. He alleges that the war party is as indifferent in policy as regards keeping treaties as many of her traders are regarding the infringement of the trademarks belonging to others.
