WHOM SHALL WE CONCILIATE?

GREAT BRITAIN'S POLICY IN CHINA.

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF

: LORDS.

LORD BALFOUR'S SPEECH. In the House of Lords on November 10th Lord Parmoor asked whether the Government could give further informa tion on the position of affairs in China. He said that it was essential in dealing with a country like China and with the conditions there that we should have a very large measure of patience, and, above all things, that we should try to promote conciliation.

MURDER TRIAL AT SHANGHAI

PRISONER AND A BRIGAND GÅNG.

At the Shanghai District Court, on December 11th, before the Chief Judge. and associate justices, a Chinese, Chen Ab Tung, appeared to answer two charges (1) of being concerned in the kidnapping of Ping Wen Yung, the owner of a coal hong in Markham Road; and (2) of mar- dering the aid Ping Wen Yung, when the latter failed to pay fabulous suma demanded for his ransom...

Mr. Sun Shao Kang, Chief Procurator, prosecuted on behalf of the Government, and special counsel was appointed by the Court to appear on behalf of accused.

In a Bandit Rendezvous, - After the Court, had sat, accused, hand-

Farmoor had talked of consiliation, and cuffed, was escorted into the court-room

In reply, the Earl of Balfour said Lord his Majesty's Government were most anxious and desirous that we should be by the police officers. He was perfectly on the most friendly terms with the great calm and there was not the slightest ex Chinese community, but the great Chinese Pression on his face. When asked by the community had no single representative Court what be had to say, accused said with whom one could deal at the present that he was 39 years of age and a native of Chinhua He came to Shanghal seven moment.

foresee.

If that were the State of China, how was it possible to carry out effectively. that policy of conciliation which in terms we were all so passionately desirous of seeing made effective? Whom were we going to conciliate? One of the diff culties was that if one made any arrange ment with regard to the Customs duty, for example, which was agreeable to one of those warring chiefs, one probably oftending the other warring chiefs. Money which came from the Customs did not necessarily or probably go to the Central Government. It went to one or other of the contending units, and, of course, any general who did not get money from the Customs had a strong objection to any other general getting money from the Customs. Disorder reigned in many parts of China. Of that disorder foreign subjects were frequently the victims, and to whom were we to apply for redress1 If we applied to the legitimate authority in Peking, that Authority might give promises, but it was entirely out of its power to see that those promises were performed. Were we go ing to have separate negotiations with separate generala? That was absolutely necessary in many things, but one could hardly lay it down as a principle. Lord Parmoor had kept that aspect of the case in the background. That was very apt to give a wrong impression of the course of public affairs and international re- lations in the Far East.

Accusation Against Detectives.

He then declared that he had been beaten whilst in prison and the detectives tortured him until he made a confession, falsely acknowledging his guilt. It was a framed-up charged and why it was done he could not say.

The Court-You say you were compell- ed to acknowledge your guilt, but why did you give evidence that a certain Chinese, between 50 and 60 years of age, had been kidnapped and had been held in the robbers' rendezvous? Way did you acknowledge that, when the police arrived, you fired three shots at the victim, one at his head, one at his chest and one into his abdomen 1 This corre

Evidence of Deceased's Son. Accused gave no answer and the deceased's son testifed that his father had been kidnapped and murdered by a gang af desperadoes beaded,, by Wang' Yung Kiang, who had been executed by order of the military court. Witness learned from the French Mixed Court inquiry that his father had been shot by the accused and had heard accused confess that he did the deed whilst at the French Court. So far as he knew, the Chinese detectives did not beat him or torture him and the confession Was made. voluntarily.

This concluded the evidence and judg ment was reserved, accused being ordered to be detained in the Nantao Gool.

Continuing Lord Baliair said he en- tirely agreed that unquestionably the existing tariff system as one that ought not to be maintained in its integrity. The International Commission sitting at Peking under the Treaty of Washington had suggested great reforms, and had the Treaty been ratified those reforms would now be in force. Unfortunately, the Treaty was not "ratified, owing to the chaotic condition into which China fell, BUDDHIST PRIEST STEALS BABY gong Bank $1,130 sel, 1,130/1,125 sa

making international relations with China extremely difficult, and, in some respects, quite impossible. There was no such entity for the purposes of negotia- tion as an undivided China. No doubt that was a temporary state of things, but while it lasted it made the work of the Commission a hopeless task. All that could be done in regard to the carrying out of the reforms was to wait for better times. He understood that in the chang- ing circumstances of the Chinese politico- military eperations the Cantonese were still advancing. He had an information that would help to form a conclusion "LJ to the limits of their advance, but so far as he understood they were still successful in the field.
