BRITAIN WANTS PEACE; WILL GIVE CONCESSIONS.
Aus. and X.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, January 21. After a Cabinet meeting the Government issued a statement reiterating that the naval and military dispositions in connection with China are precautionary and that sensational announcements' in this connection should be deprecated and disregarded. The Government’s sole object is to fulfil the elementary duty of protecting British lives. There was no modification of the conciliatory attitude towards the legitimate aspirations of Chinese nationalism laid down in the Memorandum of December 25. On the contrary, conversations are progressing at Hankow and Pekin which, if successful, will largely realise the concessions which the Government is willing to make for the ptirpose of placing AngloChinese relations on an equitable and mutually profitable basis, leading to a friendly settlement. Mr Baldwin delayed his departure to Chequers in order that, he might preside at the Cabinet meeting.
