"AN ASTOUNDING POSITION.
From the news contained in yesterday's naval message regard- ing the big demonstration held in Hankow on Thursday, it would appear that there has yet been' ño' suppression of anti-British agita- tion in that city. Indeed, the parade which formed part of the demonstration passed through the British Concussion-a circum stance which, to, put it mildly, shows a lamentable appreciation by the Chinese authorities of the Changed conditions brought about
as a result of the recently-con- cluded agreement between Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Eugene Chen. Scarcely has the inkuiried on that document ere we have thonsands of Chinese demonstratora making an organised prolest against "Bri- tish Imperialism" in sending froops to Shanghai..

One would have thought that, following the signing of the akrec- ment, the leaders of the National- ist Government would have taken 'special pains to prevent the hold- ing of organised anti-British gatherings. Had the situation been reversed and were it possible to conceive of Britishers at Han- kow arranging anti-Nationalist de monstrations, with paraders puss ing through the native city, wo wonder what Mr. Eugene Chen and his colleagues would have had to say on the subject? When two farties who have been as variane» manage to compose their differ- ences and come to agreement In
a signed document, the presump- tion is that each will take care that nothing is done to offend the susceptibilities of the other. But apparently the Hankow National- ists do not worry over sucht points as that; otherwise, they would assuredly have stepped in and pro- hibited such a demonstration ag was held on Thursday, Anti-British propaganda is apparently to be permitted to continue, despite thr signing of the agreement. We are told that the demonstration, was held as protest against the landing of British troops in Shang- hal. It was on that ground that Mr. Eugene Chen first declined to append his signature to the agree-
