LIFE AND PROPERTY RIGHTS GUARDED
LONDON, 19th June.
la the House of Commons, in aswering the question, "What is the British Government going to do?" in the course of the debate initiated by Mr. Trevelyan on the situation in China, Mr. Chamberlain said that, in common with - the other Powers interested, the British Government would protect the life and property of British subjects in China, and hold the Chinese Government responsible for all injuries and damage wantonly inflicted either on British subjects or British property. There could be no weakness or hesitation. It was the fundamental duty of every British Government, which any British Government must discharge. It was not a remedy for the situation, but it was a necessity arising out of the outrages which had occurred.
