DAWES COMMITTEE REPORT.

London, April 10..

The experts" reports are recolved in London as the most prominent signboard hitherto erected on the Reparations road, rather than in any way indicating that the end of the journey is near.

Apart from Germany's attitude, the newspapers anticipate that the most likely anngs to be met with will be: Bratly, the fixation of the total sum púyable by Germany, which the Committees are for- bidden To discuss; secondly, oblique references to the absolute neces sity of France abandoning the economic control of the Ruhr, except as a business proposal.

The reports are hailed as a soild achievement and as being, more- over, encouragingly unanimous, Several commentators remark that The payment of £125,000,000, annually is a very severe strain upon any nailon; nevertheless the consensus of opinion plumps for the adoption of the reports. In the belief that the terms are well within Germany's capacity to accepl-Renter.

CHINA AND RUSSIA.

London, April 10.

The Morning Post hears from Helsingfors that in the course of an article in the farestia on Sino-Russian differences, M. Stekloff writes that Japan, more than any other Power, has hastened to put pressure on the Chinese Government to prevent the concluding of an #greement with the Soviets, for Japan understands very well that the first point of the agreement is the placing of the Eastern Railway in the hands of Soviet RussİR.

For this reason also, Japan is supporting the Chinese reaction- aries and "White" Russians. Further, she will presently be able to exploit the attitude of the United States and France in the question of the railway--Reuter

ARMS FOR CHINA.

London, April 10...

In the House of Commons, answering questions, Mr. Ponsonby stated that he was aware of attempts being made to ship from a Euro- pean country large consignments of arms and ammunition for war pur- poses in the East, and of attempts made to persuade à British ship- ping company to transport these munitions.

The attention of Lloyds had been drawn to the China AITS embargo-Reuter,
