BRITAIN IN CHINA
LONDON, 4th February. . "I do not believe there are any grounds for grave anxiety in the Chinese situation," said Mr. Winston Churchill, speaking as the guest of the Manchester Constitutional Club. "We have sought nothing in China, but we are able to sell to the Chinese the goods they desire and receive in exchange therefor goods useful to ourselves. We regard the four hundred million Chinese as potential friends and customers. The last thing you usually do to a potential customer is to shoot him. The last thing to be -wished is that the potential customer should shoot you, I believe, if supported by the public, we will, with patience and self-respecting firmness, procure a great amelioration in the Chinese position before the end of the year."
