EPOCHAL CHANGE
CHINESE IN CONTROL
INTERNATIONAL MIXED COURT (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received Jan. .">, noon.) PEKIiST, Jan. 2. The rendition of Shanghai's International Mixed Court to virtual Chinese control yesterday .was fin epoch-making change in Chino-foreign relations and is regarded by foreigners with concern, as amounting to a wedge thrust for the abolition of extra-territorial rights and yet; another Chinese diplomatic victory over tho Powers. Foreigners realise that ultimate rendition is inevitable, believing that China is entitled to govern her own nationals, but they decry the Powers granting this while the country is convulsed in great internal disorder. It is feared that the Court will be used for political ends, foreign litigants will enter it under prejudice from the beginning. Further, it is not believed the Chinese extremists will rest until the Mixed Court controls all foreigners, wbictt is hut a, step towards control of the, foreign concessions. "Foreigners are rapidly losing faith in the Ministers, who are fast stripping the nationals of their few remaining means of protection, without which residence in China will become intolerable.
