London; Yesterday.

Letters have been published which were exchanged between Sir Sidney Barton (the British Consul-General at Shanghai) and Dr. C. T. Wang (Nationalist Foreign Minister) leading to settle ment of the Nanking Incident of March 24, 1927.

Dr. Wang expresses the Nationalists' deepest regret at the in- dignities and injuries to the British and accepts responsibility for same. Although he attributes the trouble to Communists, he under, takes to prevent the recurrence of anti-British agitation, to punish the guilty in the Nanking Incident, and to compensate sufferers, for which he proposes a Sino-British joint commission.

2-An apology in writing by the Commander-in-Chief of the Na- Honalist Armies, including an ex-

He also suggests re- themselves compelled to take such measures as they consider appro- vision of existing Treaties and re-adjustment of outstanding ques-priate. tions, on a basis of equality.

The British Consul-General accepts Dr. Wang's proposals in settlement of the British demands, but refuses to apologise for the shelling which was "merely a protective barrage." He recognises the essential justice of the Chinese claim for revision of treaties, which Britain is prepared to negotiate in due course.--Reuter. Home opinion of the settlement is given on page one.
