Meanwhile, the proposal, as ap- proved by the Committee, is attracting attention in the Press, of which the Jiji alone supports the proposal, declaring that some such steps are necessary to ensure the proper protection of foreign resi dents in China.

The Jini expresses the hope that the proposal itself will be sufficient to rouse the Chinese Government and people to their responsibility. Should it fail to do so, the plan pro- posed becomes imperative for the sake of China herself as well as the Powers.

On the other hand, the papers die- clare that the proposal constitutes the thin end of the wedge of inter- national control, which is held to be inconsistent with the true peace policy and spirit of the Niac-Power Treaty.
