CHINA'S POSITION

A BRITISH CONSUL'S STRIKING VIEWS BRITAIN A BAD THIRD TO RUSSIA AND

GERMANY.

Reuter's representative has had an interview with Mr. Byron Brenan, C.M.G., British, Con sul-General at Shanghai, who has just, reached England on the conclusion of over 30 years consular work in China. In reply to questions Mr. Brenan said.

"From the standpoint of foreign interests the position in China is to-day far worse than it was before the international occupation. To begin with, as a result of the presence of the foreign troops the Chinese are now better able | than ever to play off one Power against an other. Formerly there was an impression that foreign interests were, at any rate jo a certain extent, identical, but recent events have shown more clearly to the Chinese how divergent

those interests really are, and have revealed the

many jealousies, existing bebween the foreign Powers consequent upon the various linea, of policy followed.

At one time the people believed that the foreign: Powers pulled together. Now they know [995c from personal observation that the scramble for China has already begun. But beyond this unveiling of our divergent interests the Chinese have also bad an object lesson in the power lessness of united Europe to put effective Pressure upon the country,
