Nixon, General Mann- ger of this organisation, toki Reuter that "the number of pro- posals we have received for a guarantee suggests that the home manufacturers are alive to the opportunities in China.” Ho expects good returns from a credit scheme for China just evolved and in connection with which Mr. Kirkpatrick has been appointed.

"But we have been handicapped." he added, "in assessing credit risks,. by the rapidity with which the, con- ditions in China change.

"Mr. Kirkpatrick will be solely concerned with financial and croupmale proposals and won't sech orders: Our scheme will be operat- ed on a strictly commercial basis and does not represent a subsidy to British trade," Mr. Nixon declared.

The objection-is-taken,-it-appears, on the ground-Mr. Nixon emphasised that British that Germany never interpreted League of Nations Article XVI like France and Britain, and while League of Nations reform is in the melting-pot it is difficult to define this Article's relationship to a new treaty.

If other Locarno Pact signatories agree with this contention, it will give Germany a free hand in East Europe, as French obligations to Russia, Poland and Czecho-Slovakia depend upon the League possessing over-riding powers where the Locarno pact is con- cerned.
