BRITAIN'S DECISION.

"It is inexpedient, Juwever fully justified." That is the essence of the long statement made by Sir "Austen Chamberlain to the House of Contuons on Monday, when he anoared that there would be no second Note to the Hankow Govern- ment on the question of the Nan- king outrages nor any attempt to apply sanetions. Sir Austen's al- nouncement did not come in the nature of a surprise, fer it had been evident for some days past that a change had come over the situation existing between China and the five Powers concerned in presenting the first Note. That change has been due to the break up of the Nationalist party. At the time the Nanking atrocities were committed, the Nationalists wern, outwardly at least, a unified force and the Government at Han- kiw did appear to possess the an- thority claimed. But almost immediately after the Powers had presented their first Nole, there was a disintegration among the Nationalists That hax Jeft
