"Newspaper

dated the 23rd July, in the following terms;- reports state that in Hong Kong-Canton negotiations British are disposed to accede to demand of Kuang-tung for recognition

as an independent government. Wai-chiao-pu has, therefore, the honour specifically to declare to His Majesty's Minister that Central Government will entirely decline to recognize any arrangement made between Hong Kong and Canton other than an amicable settlement of anti-British questions, which injures rights of China as a whole." I quite understand the alarm of the War Lords who rule Peking at realizing that His Majesty's Government and probably other foreign Powers also may at long last decide to abandon the fiction of there being a Central Government of China and that, therefore, the occupation of Peking may not in future give the occupant control over the general revenues of China. But the reply to these War Lords is surely-

(a) that by its own admission the Peking Government is unable to exercise any control in Kuang-tung,and

(b) that, if China should hereafter again be unified under a Central Chinese Government, which exercised undisputed control over Kuang-tung, the Canton Government would ipso facto be merged in such a Government, and there would be then no need for direct diplomatic intecourse between His Majesty's Govern- ment and the Canton Government.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient/ humble servant,
