After the conference had adopted the declaration, Dr. Wellington

Koo said: "In view of the coa-

The Chinese delegation regrets that the conference has not considered the suggestions it made with a view to the adoption of certain positive and complete measures. It holds that such concerted action is indispensable in any effort to restrain Japanese aggression. and to hasten the restoration of peace.

Lord

Cranborne, sharing Mr. Norman Davis views, stated that he had heard Dr. Wellington Koo's arguments, and realised how far the conference had fallen short. of China's hopes. The fact, he stated, that the majority of de- legates shared China's views was undisputed, and there would only be few delegates who would not share the views of the American delegate.

The Anal declaration of the Conference stressed the

great interest of the nations in peace in the Far East. It is stated that the Governments will remain in close contact, and do everything in their

LONDON COMMENT

BRITISH SHIPS WARNED

Must Comply With Japanese Warships" Signals

Shanghai. Nov. 25. The British Consul-General, Mr. Herbert Phillips. reiterated the warning that

all British mer- chantmen must readily and cor- rectly reply to.

the signals of Japanese warships. Repetition of the warning followed information from Admiral Little that his atten- tion was drawn to a case In which a British merchant ship did not respond correctly to the signals, of a Japanese man-of-war. Mr. Phillips points out that the British Government has agreed that Japanese warshipa may corn- municate with and board British merchant ships. In order to verify

that the right ship is flying the British flag. British ships must. therefore, comply with such re- quirements without hesitation or reasoning why.

The Consul-General asks all shipping companies to impress on the masters of their ships the Importance of complying with such requirements.. Mr. Phillips emphasises the view of serious consequences that might result to British shipping generally from the failure of one ship to follow these instructions. The masters must understand that personal reelings should not be allowed to enter the question."- Reuter

Mr. Norman Davis, head of the United States delegation, in speech, declared that nothing was lost and much had been gained with regard to a more complete knowledge of the difficulties and possibilities of the situation. He said the recess in no way,meant that the problem they had been considering was to be dropped, or that their interest in a solution was in any way lessened. It made it all the more important to con- tinue constantly and actively to try and bring about the cessation of host!litles and settlement.

It must be admitted that the adds have been against the suc- cess of the Conference from the

PLATONIC SUPPORT

No single power has felt justified in taking the initiative of recom- mending a less passive policy, and in these circumstances hard facts imposed restraint upon all It is possible indeed that this restraint may prove in the end to have been beneficial by preventing decisions which in the present temper of Japan might have barred the door against mediation,

"BLUNDER GOING

Lord Hewart And Lay Magistrates

"We have in this case the kind of blunder with which this court. to my knowledge, has been dealing for 16 years." said Lord Hewart, the Lord Chief Justice, in a King's when commenting on a decision Bench Divisional Court recently.

by a lay Bench

Before the Court was an appeal by an -Inspector of factories against a decision by Gloucester magistrates sitting at Nailsworth dismissing a case in which mill- owners were summoned for not fencing dangerous shafting. A workman injured his arm while replacing a belt on a revolving

shaft.

The Court allowed the appeal and remitted the case to the magistra- tes.

Lord Hewart sald: "This appeal ilustrates, for the one-hundredth time. the mischief which arises where a prosecution under the Factory Acts is conducted before a Bench of lay magistrates. How long the system is to be continued is a question which may have to be gravely considered.
