THE CHINESE. LOAN-

INTERESTING QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. Watt asked what were the condi- tions which were stipulated to the Re- public of China by the Powers before the loan which she desired would be per- mitted.

Mr. Wedgwood Bonn said: -His Majesty's Government would have no objection to the publication of the con- ditions necessary to obtain the assent of the other parties to the agreement. Until, however, the question of lo258 by the Bix- Powers Group is definitely settled it would obviously not be fair to disclose detaile. As soon as a settlement is arrived at bis right hon. friend would| seek the consent of the group to publish full particulare. His Majesty's Govern- ment had lost no opportunity of announc ing that, broadly speaking, the objecta which the "Governments concerned have had in view are:-To prevent the pos sibility of a return to the former danger. ous policy of unprofitable international competition in China, and to discourage any loans which do not in their opinion offer adequate guarantees for the proper and useful expenditure of the proceeds and satisfactory security for the payment of principal and interest.

Mr. Ginnell on the 15th ult, asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs if he would state any reason, from the point of view of British trade, for forcing Chine to give a £80,000,000 monopoly in whose control British banking played at most only a sixth part; in which any privi- leges or appointments would be in liko proportion through which Japan and Russia by their methods and constant presence would inevitably accomplish their designs upon China; and whereby British privilege would disappear from the whole of China as it had already dis appeared from the Yangtsze Valley.

Sir Edward Grey I do not quite understand the drift of the hon. member's The use of foreign employees question. has not been advocated to guarantee China's good faith, but in the Maritime Customs it has resulted in great efficiency in the service, and China and everybody concerned have no doubt benefited greatly thereby.

Mr. Ginnell: Since the willingness of British financiera, if allowed, to lend money to Ching on terms satisfactory to both sides shows the so-called foreign control, on which the Six-Power group alone insists, to be unnecessary for Bri- tish interest, will the right hon. gentle man say in what interest the British Foreign Office supports that requirement of the non-British members of the Six- Power group to which China objects?

Sir Edward Grey: As I stated in reply to a question put by the hon. member on June 13th last, there is no intention of forcing China to borrow more than she wants or to borrow at all if she does not

want to do so.

and

Replying to a further question of Mr. To lend Gianell, Sir E. Grey said: money to China without adequate guar- antees for proper and useful expenditure will impair Chinese credit; it might even load eventually to the bankruptcy of China, which would provoke all sorts of undesirable foreign interference, would damage the trade of China, and therefore British trade with China. It is in this interest that we have acted,

Mr. Ginnell: Will the right bon. gentleman place in the library the text of the terms proposed to China by the Six- Power group and especially state whether the terms will restrict China in the development of any part of her terri- tories

Sir Edward Grey: I must have notice of the question.

Captain Faber on the 17th Octo- her asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether the surplus revenues from the Salt Gabelle, assigned as security for the Crisp Loan of £10,000,000, were the identical revenues required by the Six Powers Group as the security under European supervision for a loan up to £60,000,000.

Bir E. Grey: For the reasons stated in reply to the hon, member for Glasgow on 14th inst., His Majesty's Government are not at present in a position to disclose details of the conditions put forward by the Six-Powers Group.

Bir E. Grey: I can only refer to the i answers I have previously given as to the reason why support was given to the Bix-Pawers Group. The reason why no loan was concluded was that they did not come to an agreement with the Chinese Government with regard to certain con- ditions.

Mr. Wait: What is the objection to making these conditions public?

Bir E. Grey: It was stated, I think, in a reply given on the 4th. If that reply does not cover the point, and the hon. member will put down a question, I will give what further information I can.

There is to be a General Election before

Mr. Lloyd George is determined to inaugurate an advanced Land campaign of such a character as to necessitate his retire- ment from the Cabinet.

Mr. Churchill does not see eye-to-eye with

many of his colleagues in regard to both the Navy and Home Rule, and will shortly join forces with Mr. F. E. Smith on Democratic- Imperialist lines.

Mr. Asquith may shortly resign the Premiership and will be succeeded by Sir

Edward Grey.

Mr. Lloyd George will go clean "out for the gloves" as the new Tribune of the People..

One thing is certain the King will not giro hie sssent to the Home Rule until it has been referred to the country.
