Hankow Pictures Rench London,
London, Jan. 21. The first photographs received from Hankow since the outbreak of, the trouble there have appear ed in a London evening paper after an adventurous journey.
The pictures were rushed by a Chinese coolie to the quayside, then by fast steamer to the western const of the United States, and carried across the States by anc- cessive leaps by air, being shipped at New York in the captain's special care on stenmer, which arrived at Flymouth at dawn.
The pictures were rushed, ashore aboard a fast motorboat, then by car to n fleld whence they were flown at a speed of 119 miles an hour to Croydon, thence by motor- car to Fleet Street.-Router.
Tact, Not Weakness,
Rugby, Jan. 21. Sir Arthur Steel Maitland, Minister of Labour, Inst night arid the recent Memorandum proved the British Government appreciated the desire for modification of con- ditions under which foreign coun- tries had hitherto "conducted re- lations with China.
The Government had also, point- ed, out the way" whereby there could be a transition from the treaty system. Our proposals were designed to give, scope to Chinese aspirations, and yet at the same time to secure justice to foreign itizens there, in the transition period. In almost all cases, the ideal policy was one which com bined moderation and avoidance of provocátion with firmness. Al- though the ideal, this was also most difficult. since unless care
"was taken moderation might be mis- Laken for weakness.
Our wish was to satisfy "legiti- inate Chinese national aspirations. For that reason we again showed self-restraint under provocation at Hankow, and our officials, to pre- vent any conflict, evacuated the concessions with conspicuous skill and with tact. We did not wish our liberal policy to China to bef deffected by isolated nets of a mob, however regrettable.
At the same time, i such acts should become general, or if they were to be abetted by, or committed by, any armed forces of China, we were absolutely bound to protect"
British subjects there.
Shanghai was the great, centre for the external trale for an immense part of China, containing thousands of British, and other Europeans hall as many again. We had shown moderation and liberality and we proposed to do so still. But it must be equally clear that behind that lay the same degree of absolute firmness in pro- tecting the British. who, with the consent of the Chinese, had settled in their great city of Shanghai and had helped so much to develop their country-British Wireless
