To the Editor of the Datty News" evidences of the direct instigation and continued support of the boy cott by the Government is the latest proclamation of General Feng Vu-hsiang, who has just been promoted by the Government, threatening with the severest punhinent any person who buys and in any way deals in British sood:
The celebrated "Alabama" case established beyond all doubt the liability of a government for losses occasioned by its neglect to prevent its subjects from wilful damage to the property of subjects of another country.
In the present instance it is not neglect of the Chinese Government to prevent its subjects from the commission of such nets causing loss to British subjects, but an scrive encouragement and financial support of such transgressors and Public announcement that they are engaged in patriotic movements. The Chinese Government refuses, in the presence of British protests, to afford any protection whatsoever.
The recognition of this principle of obligation cost the British Government millions of dollars. Similarly the Chinese Government is responsible for British financial losses and in due course wi doubtless be called upon to make them good.
The undisguisedly hostile _proclamation of Feng has called forth no repression on the part of the Chinese Government who quently assume the responsi of this act of their agent who oceupies one of the most important positions of authority in the country.
