THE REMEDY IN BORROWINGS OF A

CHINA.

COLONEL STEWART'S

PROPOSALS.

GENEVA VIEWS.

Geneva, Mar. 17. The text of Licut-Colonel Ste. wart's proposals for affecting n satisfactory way out of the Chin- ene imbroglio was communicated to Lengue circles at Geneva this morning, and formed the subject of lively discussions throughout the day.

Although Colonal Stewart's pro- posals were not mentioned at the League Assembly's Committee meeting itself, numerous refer- ences were made to them in the lobbies.

The idea of setting up at the Chinese capital an International Council of Adviser, appointed by the League of Nations to control the work of the Chinese civil ad- ministrations seems to be regarded in general as worthy of further examination at Geneva.

POLICE OFFICER.

INQUEST STORY OF PENDING CHARGES,

London, Mar, 18 Disciplinary charges, alloging, that he had borrowed from a pub- lican and also from a member of the public, were mentioned in tho ovi dence at the inquest at Oxford on Police-Inspector William A.

"A Great Shock,”

The other was a similar charge, but as the money was borrowed from a member of the public it was not regarded as no serious.”

The above observations repre- sent the majority opinion here on the subject. But most of the Gov-charges would be a great shock to ernment delegates take the view that it is expedient just now to await the issue of the League's. action in conjunction with the Great Powers as recently resolved by the League Assenibly. The opinions expressed to me person- ally must therefore be regarded us purely unofficial. Nevertheless they probably reflect to some ex- tent the authorities views of the various Governments' delegations.

In Chinese circles here the execution of the plan suggeated is considered quite unnecessary. The Chinese view is that once the Japanese forces arc withdrawn from Chinese territory the Chin- use central authorities will soon be in a position to carry out the re- forms necessary for re-establish- Ing order in all the provinces.

The Japanese here will not com- mit themselves beyond observing that the object of their Interven- tion was similar to Colonel Ste- wart'a purpose, namely, to assure order and security in China.

The idea of creating a police force paid by the League of Na- tions, of international officers ap- pointed by the League of Nations, such as Colonel Stewart suggests, does not meet with auch general favour as the setting up an Inter- national Council of Advisers. The necessity of establishing a really efficient police force in China is acknowledged on all hands.

CEYLON AND ITS CONSTITUTION.

DONOUGHMORE PLAN IN DANGER.

Colombo, Mar. 18. Owing to the determination of a section of the State Council to end or amend the unique export- mental constitution in Ceylon, it is widely feared here that the Donoughmore Scheme is in danger of breaking down.

Under, this scheme the premler British Crown Colony has been granted 'complete franchise for all classes, regardless of sex or caste, and what appeared, at least on paper, to be the nearest approach to self-government that has yet been attempted without Dominion statas.

However, the Governor, Sir Graeme Thomson, has repeatedly come into conflict with "Govern- mont by Committees during the nine months of the present regime. Within two days the Governor has hind to exercise his "certification" powers on four occasions, whereas This power was only once required during the provious woven years under the old Constitution,

As a result the Council are pro- testing to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. The planting community also propose to make representations. They complain of racial blus in recent legislation.
