MOTIVES LAID BARE
(Independent Cable Service.) LONDON, June 15. "The Times,'' in an editorial on the Tientsin position, points out that Britain is ready to hand over the Chinese terrorists if valid evidence is forthcoming regarding their guilt. "It is clear, however, that the Chinese never represented anything more than a pretext for bringing pressure to bear on British interests," it adds, "The latest pronouncements broaden the significance of the blockade and la> bare the motives for its instiga-
tion. A Local incident is being exploited to secure British participation in the campaign against China and British acquiescence in the ultimate exclusion of all but Japanese interests in Chinese territory That is the inevitable reading of events, and upon confirmation or otherwise of that impression British action will depend."
