FUTURE OF BRITAIN.
POSITION AMONG NATIONS. HAMILTON'S GLOOMY OUTLOOK. (Received 5.5 p.m.) Sun. LONDON, Nov. 14.

Zealand, the peace of China and the development of trade, but after the Washington Conference China had been allowed to run amok toward bankruptcy. " When reconstruction was completed Britannia would be the ' charwoman,' not the ' chairman' of directors. There might be bloodshed in China to-morrow, and if it began it might be contagious.
