It may be recalled that on March 26 Mr. A. V. Alexander stated in the House of Commons that the Government had inform- ed the shipping companies that it was prepared to sanction the fur- ther extension of the provision for regular military and naval guards against piracy in China for a de- finite limited period subject to the following provisions:--
