Mr. J. Hudson (Soc. Hudders- feld)-Would Mr. Hopkinson be prepared to put that point of view to his constituents at the next elec- tion?

Mr. Hopkinson--Yes, I would ask them. "Would you prefer to have your full day's work and wagos at the cost of the lives of your fellow-countrymen?"

Lieutenant Commander Ken- interna- worthy urged that the tional community in Shanghai should be invited to make a sub- stantial contribution towards the cost of the troops. He protested against the handing over of "Com- munist" refugees to their political opponents for torture and execut

tion..

Mr. Lloyd George (L. Carnarvon Boroughs) said he was firmly of opinion that, under the conditions. which arose early in the year, no Government could have shirked its responsibility, and abstained from sending troops to Shanghai. It would have been wrong and utter- ly foolish if the intention had been to back up one of the rival gen- erals or bandits," but the For- eign Scoretary gave an undertak- ing on the part of the Government that there would be no interfer ence of that kind, and that the 10.11.26 Force was sent purely for the pur

pose of protecting the lives of Bri- tish citizens.

It was probable the Government had sent too large a. force, but the fault was of the right kind, as to have despatched too small a force might have led to a disaster of the first magnitude, which would have resounded throughout the East..

He asked the Government how" long they thought it would be necessary to maintain the troops in China.
