HONGKONG UNIVERSITY,
Londen, Jan J. Sir Frederick Lugard writes to The Times championing Hongkong Tversity's claims in connection with the Boxer Indemnity.. He say the rapid increase recently in the number of students testifies eve map than its academic successes to the position it occupies. He thinks the present condition of China seems to show that Chipese denationalised by being sent abroad fer education too young have done their country little good. He reminds the advocates of additional universities in China that, apart from other serious difficulties, the cost of a modern university with endowment, buildings and equip ment is hardly to be estimated at less than two and a half millicas and he adds that presumably it is better to have cne thoroughly sutis-
etory than several inefficiat.
THE CONFERENCE IN PARIS,
London, Jan 4.
Despite some alarmist reports from Paris forecasting a break- down of the Conference to-day and immediate preparations by Frances to act alone against the Germans after the 15th inst, well-informed observers generally are not disposed to take so tragic a view of the situation for the present. They are of opinion that there is reason. to hope that a common formula will yet be teached though the posi- tion is undeniably serious.
It is suggested from Paris that the Italian delegation is pre paring to present a compromise scheme at to-day's sitting, It is also noteworthy that Mr. Borar Law has declared his willingness to 3 German meet the French objections by waiving his proposal for chairman on the proposed Finance Council.
Happily the atmosphere of the Conference yesterday was entirely
cordial.
con-
The Daily Mall alone among the London newspapers continues to champion the French rather than the British scheme, terming the revised French plan as moderate and workable and condemning the British proposals because of their lack of guarantees against tinued Gorman evasion. It declares pointedly that Mr. Bonar Law promised us tranquillity, but in little more than six weeks he has im- German and perilled the Entente, played into the hands of the created general consternation among the Allies.
The ming papers generally fully recognise the importance of preserving the Entente.
The German Government and public press unite in sharply reject ing the French plan. while apparently willing to take the British as a basis of negotiation.
AMERICA AND REPARATIONS.
Washington, Jan. 4. Coincident with the arrival of Ambassador Harvey and also Mr. Stanley Baldwin to discuss the funding of the British debt, Senator Robinson (Democrat) has introduced into the Senate a resolution authorising the President to appoint representatives to the Reparations Commission.
Washington, Jan: 4.
There is ample evid.nce that official circles are watching every me of the Paris Conference, deeply realising that it may weigh tremendously in determining the future policy of the Government Outwardly there was a show of confidence that an Aglo-French break might be avoided, tut inwardy officials seem to be taking how the United States can help it the statesmen cÈLpot agree.

The State to-day begins a debate on Segator Robinson's resolu tion authorising President Harding to appoint one or more American Finance. representatives on the Reparations Commission. Senator Robinson asserts that he intends to ask for prompt action and will also request Interior. the Foreign Relations Committee to question the American unofficial observers abroad and invite the State Department to have cabled home all reports bearing on reparations. This move is certain to meet with stubborn opposition.

He : Really one would have thought that in these days, Out of doors there is nothing so when the Powers as a whole have agreed to the wisdom of a parti- restful and comfortable for the cular course, we should have abandoned the old and vicious ratemeves as the light r-tected from of trying to extort from, another country special concessions as the green fields and trees-the absorp price of approval of a policy which the other country is absolutelytron of the ultra-violet and ora ge entitled to adopt. I hope, therefore, that ftaly will realise that, if raya by the chlorophyll of the we are to revert to the old fashioned system of queezing China or any other Power, the chaos in the Far East will become worse than
ever.
