In-

London, Dee, 16. Referring to the Nanking eldent in 弱 speech delivered in London to-day, Mr. A. Duff-Couper, First Lord of the Admiralty, sald they al deplored the fearful occurrences of last week-end when innocent neutrals were killed and wounded.

"They were sent to their death, and It could only have been due to the ineptitude or indiscipline of

of the troops which fired on them" be paid Referring to the Japanese apology Mr. Dutt-Cooper said that he thought Britain should accept a full apology and then hope that the necessary steps would indeed be taken to pre vent a repetition of such n disaster, remembering that it was not the first disaster of this kind which had taken place since the hostilities began.

In times of war, fever possessed not only those engaged in it, but witnesses to it it. Therefore it was wise to be careful in such a time to say and do nothing which was likely to send up the temperature on either side.

Chancellor Defends New Loan

Bolgium To Raise £5,000,000

London, Dec. 10. Questioned in the House of Com- mons regarding the forthcoming issue in London of a £5,000,000 four per cent. loan for Belgium, Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, said he did not think the time had come when foreign governments could be allowed to borrow freely In Lon- don.

Ench proposal was considered on its încrits and he was quite satisfied in this case that there was no objection, in the national interest, to giving con- sent to, this loan. It did not involve the purchase of goods in Britain, but 20 per cent, of the proceeds might be used for Beltain--Reuter's Special.
