EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

STATE OF CHINA.

London, March 20 Peking correspondent. He states that the country is more disorganised A dismal spectacle of the state of China is given by The Times than ever and is incapable of standing alone and declares that, if relief is to come in time, a small committee of experts should be ap- pointed immediately to collect and sift evidence for the Washington International Commission which will investigate the surtax. The Times in a leader endorses this view and declares that otherwise the Commission will be overwhelmed with a deluge of figures and com plicated issues which will take years to deal with effectively. On the contrary The Times refuses to regard the situation as desperate. It says the character and immemorial history of the Chinese guarantee that sooner or later the country will emerge from its troubles. For the present it needs all the support of its friends. As whole the debt of China is small compared with her resources, size and popola- tion, her on her legs again provided she has the moral and physical force It would be profitable business for her foreign creditors to set to establish an effective government.

THE OIL SCRAMBLE.

London, March 20. The Manchester Guardian correspondent at New York telegraphs, that it has just become known that Secretary Fall before his retirement on 4th March refused to approve of oil leases to the Roxana Petroleum Corporation, a subsidiary of the British-Dutch group, on the ground that the British Empire and Netherlands discriminate against Ameri- can oil interests and thereby the Government was formally committed to a policy of reprisals against the citizens of the discriminating countries. This is in accord with the finding of the Senate Committee investigating the question which reported that discrimination was exercised by a number of countries, including the French Colonies.
