NEW REGIME IN CHINA.
NATIONALISTS' AIMS. "GOVERNMENT DETERMINED." (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this day. "In regard to the unequal treaties — treaties which grant privileges or rights without reciprocity—the leaders of the National Governing have announced that they are deterged, no matter what the sacrifices may be, to attain for China a status of equality and complete freedom in the family of nations," said the -Assistant-Consul for China, Mr. Yue H. Jackson, during the course of a speech at a Chinese gathering. "So," he continued, "as long as unequal treaties remain, all constructive schemes, however well thought out they may be, are of no avail, because as long as "Chh::-.'-s political sovereignty is impaired, she is unable to exercise the fullest freedom in her. constructive work. We have seen what China's efforts to abolish these unequal treaties have already meant for her within the last year. In regaining Customs autonomy and thereby increasing the import duties on foreign goods into China, China has found the means by which to earn- out part of her constructive programme."
