WAR IN CHINA
(Per Press Association —Copyright LONDON, December 21. The British Note to China is not associated with the conversations with Mr G. Locker-Lampson (Undersecretary for Home Affairs), indeed, the proposals have been before the Chinese Government for a considerable time in order to test the feeling, and are only now presented as a. Note. The idea is that the surtaxes, in future, shall be collected at the ports through which the goods pass, instead of being collected at Peking, thus enabling that the money should be available for use in the provinces in which it is collected, instead of only for the Central Government as hitherto. Copies of the Note have been presented to all Chinese parties represented in Peking, and there is hope tb- t it will be favourably received. Britain declares she has no desire to interfere in China’s civil war or in favour of any party.
