BRITAIN RESOLVED
TO PROTECT HER INTERESTS “NO WEAKNESS OR HESITATION.” Renter's Telegram (Received June 20, 0.15 a.m.) LONDON, June 18. In the House of Commons, answering the question : “What is the British Government going to do?” in the course of a debate initiated by the Labour member, Mr O. P. Trevelyan, on the situation in China, Mr Austen Chamberlain said that in common with the other Powers interested the British Government would protect the life an<J property of British subjects in China, and hold the Chinese Government ;e----sponsible for all injuries and damage wantonly inflicted, either on British subjects or on British property. There could be no weakness or hesitation. It was the fundamental duty of every British Government, which any British Government must discharge. It was not a remedy for the situation, but it was a necessity arising out of the outrages which had occurred.
