Immediately following the publication of Wu Pei-fu's circular telegram, making grave charges against Liang Shih-yi, the Peking Government circulated a telegram, explaining what it has done in regard to the Kiaochow-Tsinan Railway. It is beyond doubt that this is meant to be a statement in reputation of Wu's allegations, says the "Sinwanpao." According to telegrams received from Washington and elsewhere the fact that the new Cabinet has neglected China's national interests has been irrefutably established. Our three delegates, Messrs. Sze, Koo and Wang, have seemingly been acting contrary to Peking's orders, and we fear to think of the ultimate result of their negotiations. The '"Sinwanpao" counsels the people to send urgent telegrams to the delegates, urging them to stand firmly on their ground. It hopes that the delegates will not lightly sacrifice their valuable reputations merely at the behest of Liang Shih-yi. It exhorts the people also to devise methods safeguard their national rights, and to make a declaration that they will never recognize sny secret understanding that may be arrived at by Peking with Japan in case the question should be transferred to Peking.
