' . LONDON, 14th December Debating the item of £3,090.000 on the Supplementary Estimates for China Mr. Trevelyan, Colonel Wedgwooa, and other Labour members urged the withdrawal of the force and the treatment of China as an equal. Mr. Lloyd' George said he was firmly convinced that no Government confronted by the same conditions could have failed to send an expedition to China. It would have been utterly futile to back up one of the rival generals or' bandits.
