Chinese, who say that Mr. Obata indicated that the money was lying at the bank and it was for them to decide what they would do. However, next afternoon the British, American, French and Italian Ministers called upon Mr. Chen Lu with the object of supporting the advice given

by Mr. Obata in the matter of refraining from drawing upon the seventeen million. Perhaps no more striking commentary on the changed policy towards China can be made than merely to draw attention to the disintegration ef the Big Five in this respect. Japan is not distinctly associated with America, Britain, France and Italy in the latest advice which it has been deemed necess- ary to tender to the Chinese Government.
