PIRACY IN CHINA.
RECENT ATTACKS ON SHIPS.
BRITISH REPRESENTATIONS.
(Received December 17, 7.15 p.m.)
British Wireless. RUGBY, Dec. 16. In the House of Commons the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Arthur Henderson, was asked whether he had made any representations to the Chinese Government regarding the increase of piracy along the Chinese coast.
Mr. Henderson replied that representations had been repeatedly made in recent years, and the British Minister, Sir Miles Lampson, had instructions to keep tho matter before the Chinese Government with a view to its taking effective sup-
pressive measures. p So far as this information went there had been no deterioration in the situation during recent months. The problem of securing the safety of British commerce wan one that was constantly kept in view. It should have been noticed that in the recent case of piracy upon tho steamer Haiching two British warships had been instrumental in saving the vessel.
