"SUNNING" QUESTION IN

PARLIAMENT.

· PLIGHT OF BRITONS IN WAR ZONE.

LONDON, November 17th. In the House of Commons, answering questions, Sir Austen Chamberlain said that the advance Southern forces in Central China did not appear to have adversely affected the personal security of British, residents or involved serious danger to British property, though, fa- evitably, there had been some disturbance of British establishments in the army zone. Anti-British agitatión in Szechuan had led to the destruction of some British property at Chungking, and it had been considered advisable for the women and children to leave that port.

Conditions in Mid-China were still un certain and it would be premature to paas judgment.

Questioned as regards the Sunning ja- cident, Bir Austen Chamberlain asked for notice, and aleo requested notice of a question whether he could assure the House that there was a sufficient naval force at Hankow to ensure the safety of British residents in case of need.
