Kluklang, Feb. 19. Troop movements, which have recently been held up by bad weather, have recommenced in con- siderable numbers.
Two British launches and two lighters have evacuated to Shang- hai. A few more troops have moved down the river.-Naval Wireless. Viscount Grey On Situation.
Such an emergency was one of the main factors which decided the British Government to send forces to China-a decision which was accompanied by the most specific forces announcement that these would be used for no other pur- pose than that of safeguarding British subjects and would in no circumstances take sides in Chin- ese internal strife.

Although we were meeting with a great deal of injustice and pro- vocation we had to keep cool heads, and in the end reason would pre- vail. The Government had no choice but to send troops to China after what had occurred at Han- kow. He asked if anyone could guarantee that if the Cantonese followed up their present victory same there might not be the trouble in Shanghai.
Our forces would not be there to maintain out-of-date treaties and privileges. We only wanted trade, and could not afford to lose the market on which not only profit but the very livelihood of tens of thousands in the textile industry dependend.--Reuter.
