CHINA'S COMPETITION:

The conclusions of the Cotton Mission read uncommonly like the findings of a coroner's jury, says the Manchester Guardian, which points out that Japan has definitely replaced Lancashire as the principal surve of imported piecegoods, and there is nothing to show that com petition with Japanese and Chinese milla will not become still more crushing.

The proposals for establishing a large merchanting organisation have been advocated in Manchester | for several years; nevertheless, the greatest value of the report will be to drive home plain but uncomfort- able truths, and reluctant indus- try may at length be driven to re- tion. Reater.

ANCIENT RELICS.

INTERESTING FINDS IN HONAN.

Nanking, Yesterday.

It is reported that another valu- able haul of ancient relica has been unearthed at Anchang, in Honan.

The finds include animal bones, pottery, copper arrow-heads and ivory ornaments, believed to have been left by a royal family of the Shang dynasty, which flourished about the fourteenth century B.C. -Reuter.

CHANGE OF POLICY.

U.S. ATTITUDE TO NICARAGUA.

FUTURE ACTION,

New York, Yesterday. The present rising in Nicara- qua, and the loss of American lives there, is drawing attention to a great change of policy in re- spect of Nicaragua and Latin America generally, by the Hoover administration, which seems de- termined to make it plain that American business men must en- trust themselves to the laws of foreign countries, and be less ready to appeal for American in- tervention.

It was under the Coolidge ad- ministration that American in- tervention reached its height.

After consultation with the State and Navy Departments, the United States Government has decided that in future armed force will be employed in the Caribbean with marked circum- spection, states the Washington correspondent of the Herald- Tribune. It is believed that this policy will have far-reaching im- portance so far as the relations between the United States and Central America are concerned.

American military strength will be used to protect Ameri- can lives, but will not be involved in campaigns to protect Ameri- can property, although specific instances and changing circum- stances will alter the line of offi- eial action. Nicaragua, or any other Central American country, will be asked to bear the full re- sponsibility for maintaining or- der-Reuter's American Service.

C.E.R. CONFERENCE.

SOVIET IN AGREEMENT.

Nanking, Yesterday. An official telegram from Moh Teh-hui atates that the Sino-Soviet conference at Moscow resumed on April 11, when a Chinese proposal for the redemption of the Chinese pre-Eastern Railway was presented to

M. Karakhan, who submitted coun-) ter proposals.

Other Convictions. Sub-Inspector Munro produced records of previous convictions for similar offences a year ago against who were held in the two men custody and they admitted it.

Karakhan signified his agree- ment in principle with the pur- chase of the Russian laterests in the C.E.R.

After a lengthy discussion, it was decided to hold another meet- The Magistrate fined these twoing on April 21 to discuss proce- men $20 or two weeks' jail each dure and the price of the redemp and the other three were fined $10 tion; meanwhile the proposals ex- each or one week's hard labour changed by the two parties are

being carefully studied.-Reuter. in default.
