ENGLAND HAS NOT HELD UP TROOPS Soldiers Contimuing on o Port of Shanghai Hong Kong, China, Feb. 9 (®— The second battallon of Worcester- shire regiment sailed for Shanghai today on the transport Vasna. | The second battalian of the Dur- ham light infantry which recently | arrived from Calcutta also left for | Shanghal on the transport Takliwa. London, Feb. 9 M—News that the | Rritish troops which landed in Hong | Kong yesterday were already pro- | ceeding to Shanghal, site of thel groatest international settlement in China, caused considerable public surprise in view of Premier Bald- win's statement on the Chinese sit | uation in the house of commons yes- “terday. 1t is pointed out, however, the premler sald the question wheth- | er the troops would be landed at Shanghal or stationed at some other point within ‘convenlent distance would be left to the British repra- sentatives on the spot, and that the criginal plans called for the troops to proceed to Shanghal. | that | Troops Continue On Shanghal, Feb. 9 (P—Proof that Great Britain has not called back the troops which she recently order- ed to Shanghal was given here today when it was announced that the sec- ond battalian of a Gloucestershire | regiment had embarked at Hong Kong for Shanghal. The move was made in spite of protests which have been made by hoth the Peking and Hankow gov- ernments, and the declaration of Eu- gene Chen, Cantonese foreign minis- ter, that no agreement with Great Britain would be made with his gov. ernment regarding the future rela- | tions of the Cantoncse and British while Shanghal was under the sha- dow of foreign forces. 1t was reported from Hankow, | however, that negotiations between Chen and British Charge D'Affaires Owen' O'Malley would be continued | Monday after having been broken oft because of the British troop move ment. The authorities here state they have yecelved no explanation . from | the far east concerning the troop movement, and have heard of no new crisis in Shanghal, The latest re ports are that negotiations are pro- ceeding between the Cantonese for- cign minister, Eugene Chen, and the British cha d'affaires, Owen O'Malley for settlement of the re-| cent anti-foreign riots in Hankow and Kiukiang. Reports published here that Great Britain intended to request convo- | cation of the council of the League | of Nations to consider the Chinese | question met with a flat denial today | in official quarters. It was stated | that the British government would probably keep the league informed of the situation, but did not inten to do more.
