AGAINST LIBERTY.

GERMANY'S INDUSTRIAL JUNKERS.

POINCARE ALARMEÐ.

(Beuter's Service to the China Mail.)

PARIS, July 22.

M. Poincaré, in a speech at Villers Cotteret, emphasised that German economic reconstruction was proceeding at the expense of the Allies organist tion. German industry should be controlled and all forms of production should thus be held as monopoly of national wealth. The German industrial leaders were the masters of the Berlin Government and the German Press.

They were subjecting the German Republic to new caste as haughty and as violently opposed to the liberties of the people as the Junkers. The definite installation of this regime of economic and social oppression in the centre of Europe was utterly incompatible with the traditions of Britain and France and was contrary to the democratic ideas of which they had hitherto been the best guardians in Europe.

If Germany's capacity to pay was imprudently enclosed in a fixed and permanent frame she would quickly evade their arbitrary measures, reconquer economic supremacy and impose upon the world the most retrograde and the most immoral policy. The Allies must unite more closely than ever to avert this peril.

SIX YEARS' JAIL

TILINSKY'S 600,000 FRANC FRAUDS.

PORT ARTHUR ECHO.

(Reuter's Service to the China Mail)

BERNE, July 22.

The Trial of Tilasky on charges of fraud jovolving 200,000 francs ended with Tilinsky being sentenced to six years' imprisonment. His accom- plices, M. and Mmc. Schwenke, wore sent to jail for eight months and three years, respectively--all | in contumaciam.

Tilinsky, who claimed payments from the Japanese Government for services which he alleged local tribunal charged with fraud in Berne and led to the fall of Port Arthur, appeared before a Zurich, involving 200,000 francs. Tilinsky, in his defence, refered to the Port Arthur affair, and he maintained that he had a claim for 130,000,000 yen bonds given in payment for services rendered by against the Japanese Government on account of fumishing plans of the mine fields of the defending fortress.]

CHINA'S SOCIAL FABRIC.

family life and social fabric of China, attributed the change in the social life of China in the last decade mainly to the change in the form of govern ment. The Monarchical regime in China had gone forever, and there was no alternative to the Repub- Jican form of 'government. It was therefore espe cially incumbent on the 'Chinese' authorities, while educating the people, to maintain their attachment to their family life because in time (the family re- ationship would becains developed into the public. tionship. The foundation of the social fabria of China was as good as ever.

Britain as a whole has been amply secured, the strongest case for the Singapore base does not warrant spending a penny.

MAKING ENEMIES.

LONDON, July 22.

The Observer dwells on the impression the Singapore project will make upon foreign nations; including Japanese opinion. The paper says that Britain has no aggressive intentions and does not wish to give ground for any suggestion that she has; "We do not wish to add to our enemies. We do wish to keep our friends.”

For all these reasons, the Singapore project should not be hurried on. If the Washington pactis in the eyes of our naval advisers incomplete, then a supplementary conference should be summoned to perfect it. Before we are irretrievably committed to any departure in nuval policy in the East there should be a frank discussion by the Imperial. Conference.
