POWERS AND CHINA. PROFUSION OF QUESTIONS IN COMMONS.
LONDON, July 8th. In the House of Commons at question time Mr. Austen Chamberlain declared that no proposal for severance of diplo matic relations with the Soviet Dovern- ment was under consideration by His Majesty's Government. The Diplomatic Body at Peking was considering a joint reply to the fourteen points contained in the Chinese Government's note. He was not aware of any conflict of opinion be- tween the Powers with regard to the reasonableness of the demands.
Mr. Beckett declared that the American Press widely stated that the American representatives were willing to accept, ut that the British delegates were hold- ing out. Mr. Chamberlain deprecated being called upon to answer questions with regard to information supplied by the different presses of the world, and emphasised that he was not aware of any conflict between the different Govern- ments.
Replying to Mr. George Lansbury, Mr. Chamberlain said that Russia was not represented on the Commission of En- quiry at Shanghai because Russia was not ore of the Treaty Powers.
Replying to Mr. Robinson, he said that no proposals had been received from the Government of the United States for con- vening an International Conference for the purpose of removing the special privileges of certain nationals in the treaty ports of China and giving the Chinese nation unrestricted control of the import duties.
Replying to Mr. Ammon he said that the Government was not prepared to follow the example of Germany, Austria, and Russia by renouncing extra-territ orial privileges in China. Pending the result of the present consultations be- tween the Treaty Powers he was not in a position to add anything to his state- ment of July 1st.

SEARCHERS FILMED.
TO BE USED AS CHINESE PROPAGANDA?
Special Constable Smith, who was in charge of a squad of Sikhs searching vehicles on Thibet Road, Shanghai, is wondering whether the police activities, which drew a large crowd on this occa sion, are to be featured in some Chinese film drama or will be used for pro- paganda showing the foreigners' inter- ference with the rights of Chinese in the Foreign Settlement, says the Peking and Tientsin Times.
