VISCOUNT SAITO'S

STATEMENT,

ADMIRAL Viscount SAITO in his speech to the Japanese Diet does not suggest that any material change in his country's foreign policy is to be expected. The tribute to the forces operating at Shanghai and the following pronouncements. upon the whole incident show no suggestion either that the officers on "the spot exceeded their authority or that the whole heaterd support of the Imperial Government was lacking. There is obviously no doubt in the Prime Ministers mind where responsibility is to be placed.

While Japan is evidently prepared to consider the matter closed, and is not pressing for compensation for the assaults on five Japanese priests, which started the whole Trouble, a hope is expressed that a round-table conference will be held upon the problem of Shang- hai's future. The sentiment cx-

be freed from sporadic disturbances it would prove a boon not only to its residents, Chinens and for- eign, but also to China herself and to Powers interested in China," This is evidently an oblique rafer. ence to the Free City of Shanghai Plan." No doubt many arguments sould be advanced in favour of the plan. If material considerationA dominated humanity; or even if we had outgrown patriotism and nationalism the scheme would have something in its favour. But because Chinese nationalismi, far from dying is awakening and in its youth the scheme is outside the range of practical polities, because the Chinese people would offer all the resistance in their power.

In this year's Royal Academy, hung next to a painting by Mr. Richard Sickert, A.R.A., will be seen a vivid portrait in oils, which was an hour's work by a 20-years- old London youth.

The portrait, a study of Mr. George Chambers the poet, is the work of Mr. Nicolas Day, who is a student at the Royal College of Art. South Kensington.

Mr. Day, who is slim, dark, be- spectacled, and very shy, told a reporter, I have dashed off a good many of these of sketches to make ends meet. The portrait of Mr. Chambers is" the first picture I have ever submitted to the Royal Academy, and I am told it is re- garded as excellent work.
