CHINA ANNOYED

SIR JOHN SIMON'S SPEECH RESENTED

Nanking, Dec. 9. The Chineso press and public are very indignant following the publication of M. Boncour's and Sir John Simon's speeches on the 7th Inst. They are specially in- dignant at Sir John Simon's state-

menta,

The official paper, the Central Daily News, calls Sir John Simon's speech the "most regrettable in- cident in Sino-British relations, which up to the present had been of a most friendly nature. It questions Sir John's motives in attacking China ignoring the find ings of the Lytion Commission, and keeping silent on Japan's acts of violation of the Pact and the Covenant of the League.

The paper concludes that Siri John Simon's speech will undoubt edly cause strong reaction and possibly deplorable consequences. -Reuter.
