UNDISGUISED BREACH OF AGREEMENT.

WILL THE POWERS ACT?

(Reuter's Service.)

London. June 8. The Daily Telegraph, in an edi- torial, describes the confiscation of the revenue on the salt tax in Tientsin on June 4 as an undis- guised breach of the "Agreement of 1913 and the gravest by far of inany similar acts of defiance of the Agreement which has oc- curred in recent years.

They have to obtain some settlement whereby form of neither side would lose face. This would be for the Canton public. For the so-called labour, and for the strike leaders, reasons which sound good will have to be so as to call off the advanced pickets and thus permit a normal situation to return. The writer poignantly adds: It is recognised that the possibility of strike pay (he calls it a "war loan") is cx- tremely remote,
