London, Mar, 17. The remarkable programme drawn up by Trebitsch Lincoln for the renaissance of China involving a pro- posal for the appointment of temporary foreign managers of the country as the only solution of China's difficulties, is recalled by an article in to-day's issue of the London' Morning Post.

A suggestion that the League of Nations shoukl make itself responsible for China, along lines somewhat similar to those recommended by Trebitsch Lincoln, is made by Lieut.-Colonel J. E. Stewart, formerly Military Adviser to Marshal Chang Tso-lin.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS FEEBLENESS.

London, Mar. 16. The hesitation, the feebleness and the poltroonery exhibited in the last few weeks in reference to the Far Eastern dispute has damaged the League of Nations far more than anything in Its pré- vious history, declared Mr. Lloyd George, epeaking at the Junior Liberal Club to-day.

The only hope, he said, was that the very valiant stand made by the wretchedly equipped, but courageons Chinese army, together with the revolt of the little Powers (towards the end of the League Assambly meeting) may have re stored the situation.-Reuter,
