Mr. J. O. P. Blund, in a letter to the Times refutes Brig-Gen. D. Bruce's strictures on Sir Panel Aglen, und points that Sir Francis's duty is to carry out the instructions of the Chinese Government as long as they do not conflict with his duties as custodian for the foreign bondholders. He says that had Sir Francis refused to consent to the deation of the loan he might reasonably be accused of sympathising with the rebels-Reuter.
According to a dispatchi published yesterday, Brigadier-Generai Bruce wrote to the Times in reference to the reported consent of Sr Prancis Agien to secure the Peking Government issue of treasury notes of $4,209,000 on the customs revenue, earmarked for the German boxer indemnity, which lapsed owing to the European war, contending that if the two factions in China were mad enough to indulge in modern war it is nobody else's business anal expressing his belief that Sir Francis's netion would be regarded by Chang Tso-lin as subsidising Wu Pei-fu with customs money. He thought eustoms many Chinese would regard this use of the maritime

After China comes India and after dia world revolution." This nccording to an Evening News Rign message is the tenor of the latest articles in the Soviet press, discussing events in China.
