Mr. Tung Kang, President of the: Supreme Court of Peking, in the course of an interview in London, said that although the new Government of China had.necessarily an phil! task it was doing reconstructive work. He intimated his intention on his return of urging the Government to establish a publicity department charged with making. the actual condition of China known. to the Western peoples in the latter's language.
Mr. Tung said that he had arrived at the conclusion that a mistake had Leen made in adopting the Continental method of judicial procedure in China. He favoured the adoption of the English methods.. He was convinced, he said, that the result of the coming investigation of the International Commission: appointed under the Washington Treaties would accelerate the disappearance of extraterritoriality. He would like to see the Mixed Courts in Shanghai returned to the Chinese authorities. In coticlusion, Mr. Tung said that he fervently hoped that Britain would return at least the Boxer Indemnity' for the education of the Chinese students. He felt sure that closer Anglo-Chinese relationship would result from this.—Reuter.
