The proposition is based, of course, on the assumption ibat England is interested in main taining the Yangtze reglan intact, and that the control of its approaches is a mailer of Imperial concern. It is based on the farther assumption that the Russo-Chinese Bank is a Russian State bank, and that an enterprise executed by State bank has a political alm.
