BRITAIN AND CHINESE WAR

China Told Not To Expect

"Not Indifferent To Fate Of Our Trading Interests'

London, December 9.

·Britain has explained to the Chinese Government that because of her finan- cial and economic position, she is unable to give material aid to the Nationalist armies fighting the Communists.

Mr. Ernest Bevin, the Foreign Secretary, told the House of Commons this

today.

The Foreign Secretary delivered to a crowded House of Commons a wide re- view of the external situation. This was the opening of a two-day debate by the House of Commons on foreign affairs, the first for more than two months.
