BRITONS IN TIENTSIN
ATTITUDE OF GOVERNMENT CRITICISED
PROTECTION AGAINST INSULTS WANTED. BLOCKADE RESTRICTIONS INTENSIFIED. (Independent Cable Service.) TIENTSIN. July 4. British subjects in the Concession are growing restive under what is regarded up to the present as a weak attitude by Britain against the Japanese insults. The residents have shown very great patience under the greatest provocation, but they now feel that Britain must insist on respect for hei nationals during the negotiations. The food shortage in the Concession has become more acute. No milk, meat or fish is available, and the blockade has been extended to cover coal and firewood. The food restrictions have been imposed in order to affect the Chinese in the hope that they will blame the British.
