_peérialism for BRITAIN BACKS. DOWN IN POLICY TOWARD CHINA Offers Compromise to The Cantonese LONDON, Jan. 27.—The British) cabinet .took immediate steps to “soften” its China policy today upon receipt of advicés that the United States is likely to favor a reconsid- eration of the unequal treaties be- tween China and the interested pow- ers. New mémorandum described as containing “definite, constructive pro- posals applicable to all in China” was cabled to British Charge D’Affaires O’Mally at Hankow, O’Malley was directed to present the communication to Eugene Chen, the Cantonese for- elgn minister, and secure a reply at the earliest possible hour. _It is reported in diplomatic circles tonight that the new memorandum instructions to O’Malley, besides deal- ing with financial and fiscal relations also concerns the administration and the policing of: the concessions. Details Kept Secret. Although the details of the memo- randum are beirig kept secret, reports indicate it will probably suggest to Chen that the Chinese be represented on and associated with foreign muni- cipal bodies which administer the af-| fairs of the conéessions. Also it will probably be suggested that, subject to certain guarantees, the policing of the concessions will eventually be largely done by the Chinese. It is admitted that an earlier mem- orandum offering “to treat with any Chinese. government demonstrating an authoritative capacity” did not satisfy Chen. | / A Cabinet. Dodge. Today’s communication is intended to serve the purpose of reiterating a non-aggressive claim. The cabinet’s position is being made difficult by the charge of nearly all other poli- tical parties that the government is dominated by the militarists and the “die hards” of the war party.

Committee menthers félt that Kel- loav, if he wanted the testimibny made public, should appear in opén session, After his appearance in. the closed meting, Kellogg issued a statement assailing Communist propaganda on the’ American continént. At the same time, the committee poetporied action on the Wheeler resolution @emanding withdrawal of marines from Nicaragua, and the Norris resolution calling for an in- vestifation of charges that the state department sought to influence press Associations to, carry anti-Mexican propaganda. He commiittee’s action in with- holding publication of Kellogg’s tes- tiniony was explained Senator orah (R) of Idaho, chairman, as follows: Y “It was the judgment of the com- inittée that the record which we have before us is incomplete in the sensé : to do, but it 1ekVeX the revord in stich condition that it does not record what happened at the heating, and that therefore we think it unwise under such conditions to make it public. 4 Kellogg Withheld Facts. “Second, the committee was of the Opinion thet we ought not to establish the practice of having executive sés- sions and then after the executive gession hag been héld, of giving out portions of the record as the résult of the hearing. “If the hearings are to be open they ought to be open trom the beginning.” In a fervid plea ios the withdrawal of American forces from Nicaragua; Senator Wheeler of Montana accused President Coolidge of “misleading” Congress and the country in his mes- sage on the Latin-American situa- tion, He charged the administration with alain the ery of Bolshevism in “an effort to justify war with Mexi- co.

The substance of the secretary of state’s opposition is: We have large interests in Latin America, thérefore we use battleships instead of state documents; in China our invéstments are a mére bagatelle so we wish the Chinese a happy New Year. Belated Show of Friendship. The osténtatious tho somewhat be- lated generosity’ of the United]. States’ govérnment, in welcoming “every advance” of the Chinese people, whilé watching their suffer- ings during recent years at the hands of foreign imperialism without lift- ing a finger in their behalf, is in striking contrast to the action of the Soviet government which ditched the unfair, treaties between the Czarist government of China without any attempt at bargaining. While the other powers deliberately humiliated China by declining to raise their re- presentatives in Peking to the rank of ambassador as is the custom With countries of any importance the Soviet Union immediately appointed an ambassador to China and ré- eéived en Chinese representative with honor and with a similar title in Moscow. , The contrast between the treatment accorded to China by the Soviet gov- ernment and that of the imperialist powers was not'lost on the Chinese masses. The more farsighted of the bourgeois philosophers express the opinion, that for business reasons the United States made a mistake in not cultivating Chinese friendship before instead of cooperating with Great Britain in blocking the nationalist movement. oe U. S. Minister Returns. PEKING, Jan, 27-—John Y. A. MacMurray, American minister to Peking, returned here today simul- taneously with the publication here of Secretary of State Kellogg’s state- ment of the United States’ policy to- ward China.

British Confusing Issue. LONDON, Jan. 27.—The British government is adept at making the best of a bad bargain. Yesterday, the official government press groaned and grumbled . because Washington did not see fit to shoulder a portion of “the white man’s burden’? in China, but let it all for poor, over- burdened John Bull to carry. Today the same papers have dis- covered that there is no fundamental difference between the United States policy and that of the British gov- ernment since both governments are b ng inwardly with consideration for the happiness of the “great Chin- ese people.” Has Mote at Stake. Theforeig n office is peddling the Kellogg statement to the country and trying to convince the masses that the British and United States policies are identiéal execpt in the sense that Britain having more at stake in China than the United States, must use dif- ferent methods. Despite opposition from labor cir- cles British military preparations continue. It seems that the manifes- toes of the right wing are not taken veryeseriously by the government. The left wing is suspicious that at the recent conference hetween Ram- sny MacDonald. Geerge Hicks and other Inbor leaders and Sir Austén Chamberlain that the foreign secre- tary was given to understand that the labor opposition would not em- barrass the government. Sir Austen was told, it was said. that the labor leaders were obliged to maintain ap- neftrancers with their followers in the trade unions who are decidedly anti- war, ‘ Apprehension is expressed in gov- ernment circles that. the Cantonese will have captured Shanghai béfore the full strength of the British forces arrive there. * * * French Press Disseémbling.

There are 100,000 members of reac- tionary semi-military organizations in Finland, the most important units be- longing to the “Shutzkorps,” which receives an annual subsidy of 1,500,- 000 rubles from the Finnish govern- ment.

It has more than doubled in Size since Pilsudski seized power, and receives large sums of money from the state treasury. Another development which the Russian workers are closely watch- ing is the growth of fascist bodies; and thé establishment of fascist gov- ernments in these states. These are the direct result of thé increasing misery and discontent of the people on the one hand, and the growing ra- pacioustiess of the uppér and middle classes on the other, combined with the determination of financiers still farther west that there mist not be revolutions in the states established on the Russian border. Fascism Thrives. Poland and Lithunia are pow under military control similar to Mussolini’s in Italy, a fascist coup in Latvia was only put down in the nick of time, and there is continual organization of: fdscist groups in Roumania, with the notorious Crown Prifee Carol mentioned as at least their nominal leader.
