The New Policy.
Rugby, Dec. 20.. The British Charge D'Affaires in Peking has communicated to the Diplomatic Body a Note set- ting forth the new policy "which the British Government desires to see adopted towards China: A similar communication will also be made to the representatives of the Powers in London. In the meantime the contents remain secret, although it is known that the Note contains a frank and objective examination of Chinese eventy, from the Washington Con- ferendo of 1922 until the present, together with conclusions regard- ing the immediate and future policy which the British Govern- ment regard as a logical sequence.
