The Future Problem of Shanghai.

The Daily Telegraph, editorially reminding its readers of the return of the Hankow and Kiukiang Coa- cessions to the Chinese administra- tion, says that the extent of the losses, nigral and material, of in dividual, British residents are pot get calculable, but it is certain that they are the principal sufferers from the effects of the British Govern ment's policy in conceding Nation alism almost everything but their bare right to live and trade in China

GENERAL DUNCAN ON BRITISH PLANS. 6,000 BRITISH TROOPS IN

TO BE INCREASED TO 10,000,

SHANGHAI, March 1st. Major-General Duncan, Com mander-in-Chief of the British Force in Shanghai, has been inter viewed by the Osaka Mamichi, The British commander said:

"We have at present 6,000 British troops here, and we are planning to increase this farce to 10,000. I think 10,000 British soldiers are strong enough to meet 40,000 Chi nose troops, but still they are hardly enough fully to protect the lives and property of the British residents here in case of any serious disturbance. The expenditure on transporting and maintaining the troops here is something tremmen- dous. It is enough to build two or

three modern dreadnoughts.

"Even if the Canton Army ad- vances upon Shanghai, we shall only guard the Settlement, and in no way will we intervene as long as they stay out of the Settlement I don't think they will resort to sweeping on the Settlement as they

It is understood that this morn- Ping a hundred only received permis- sion to pass through, provided that they first disarmed.

Later, two British guards on the bridge lending to the Settlement, noticed the approach of a large body of troops, whom they stopped, refusing them a passage.
