Act, but it is possible that it might be held to constitute an offence against Article 75 of the China Order-in-Council, 1925, as actual participation in the present hostilities certainly would.

Other measures adopted to prevent Bri- tish subjects from taking up ser- vice in the Chinese armies were! described in my reply to the hon. member for Penistone (Mr. Rennie Smith) on May 23 last, The reply to the last part of the hon, and gallant member's ques- tion is in the negative.

Order-in-Council, but I am advis ed that the interpretation which I place upon both of these docu- ments is probably the correct one. I have observed that His Majesty's Minister in Peking re- fused to assist one of these gentle- men in a prosecution against the Chinese Government, because he infringed the Order-in-Council.
