Continuing, Mr. Sayor ship that he recollected Mr. Chant's argument, that eating-houses were nothing more or less than the poor man's, dining table. Members would find that none of the places on the list. could be said to be places of public resort Novartheless, it could also, be found that spitting in one or other of these places was injurious to health and it appeared to him appropriate that these different premises should come ander the same regulations and therefore, spitting therein should be restricted. Substantially, the arguments were precisely the same as the argu ments for the Bye-laws which had re-received the attention and support of the Board, and which, with the assent of the Legislative Council, had become law.

As the outset, M. Boncour called upon Sir John Simon, who said the report he had just received from his Government stated that during the afternoon and evening a meeting Look place in the British flagship in The official explanation of the the river as Shanghai, between the order, which naturally aroused con- Commanders and representatives ofsiderable fluttering in political do Japanese and Chinese forces to on-

JAPAN'S PEACE. PROPOSALS

(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]

LONDON, Feb. 20. The Japanese proposals for peace must be very carefully scrutinised, declared Mr. Wickham Steed, the famous British Journalist, in Ա speech at a meeting of the Longue of Nations Union to-night.

The Conference is also conditional, he said, on the making of local arrangements for the cessation, of houilities, which the Council trusts will be brought about very speedily, with the utmost assistance from the principal Powers in Shanghai in consolidating the arrangements.

The immediate re-establishment of peace, added M. Boncour, would be without prejudice or qualification of any, position taken up by the League of Nations or any Power 48 regarde Sino-Japanese affairs, The proposals should not prejudica any other action which might have to be taken by the Council for the Binal settlement of the dispute.

He invited the Chinese and Japanese delegates to indicate their adhesion to these proposals.

THE IMPORTANT POINT Sir John Simon emphasised the passage in M. Boncour's speech subordinating everything to a cassa tion of hostilities, which he hoped would take place immediately.

He accepted fully in the name of the British Government, the proposals submitted. The necessary instructions would be given to the British representatives in Shanghai to co-operate with the other Powers. Sir John Simon then announced that he was authorised to give an assurance on behalf of the United

preparing for further attacks, the position was entirely different.

Mr. Wickham Steed expressed the opinion that the British Common- wealth, was faced with the most serious international crisis since 1914. #

WAR WITH AMERICA?

The main issue, he said, was that Japaness domination of China and the Pacific would inevitably lead to a conflict between the United States and Japan, in which Canada, and probably Australia and New Zea land could hardly remain neutrui.
