New York, Dec. 28, British Memorandum—to China is well received in the United States, judging from newspaper comment.
The New York "World" declares that the memorandum shows a Uberal policy combined with ood! sense and states tht the British fare realistic enough to recognize that the day of illiberal policy in the Far East has gone for ever.
The New York "Times" expresses the opinion that the document is a complete disavowal of force for cettling the Chinese difficulty and ends the grotesque picture painted by some ill-informed friends of China of predatory nations eagerly awaiting @ chance to pounce down on China and despoil her.
The paper adds: "We could not] imagine & more patient and more forbearing policy than that marked out by the British Government."—Reuter,
