Peking, March 30.
Beveral Chinese papers comment on the questions asked in the Hous: of Commons about the negotiations and about British interests in China, and the papers are of opinion that the British Government is now paying more attention to affairs in the Far East and that seems probable that Great Britain will assist China in preserving her national independence and integrity, "and will not allow Japan to swallow up this young Republic politically and economically at this selected moment when the Powers are otherwise engaged in Europe.""
The "'Yahxiya" and other journal also take an optimistic view of the recent conferences held between the Tokio Government and the Ambassadors of the Entente Powers in Tokio relating to the present negotiations between China and Japan, and hope sincerely that Japan will not press undue demande.
The papers add that China is now a Republic and President Yuan is aot empowered to give away coi cessions to any foreign Power or Powers which affect her national rights as an independent country or njure the interests of other Powers within her territory.—From Our Chinese Corresnondent.
