Mr. Lenox Simpson Beats the Big Drum London, Aug. 23.
Mr. Lenox Simpson, who has been very active in writing and speaking since his arrival in England, yesterday delivered a lecture to the Chinese students' conference at Swanwick on the subject of the political and industrial outlook in China. He declared his belief that, despite the establishment of a separatist government at Canton, a settlement was nearer than even the Chinese suspected.
In his opinion the true solution of the problem of Chinese Government was something on the lines of British Dominion rule, with central capital as_a national clearing house. Mr. Simpson said he was taking back with him to China important recommendations in this respect. China, he added. expected great things from the Washington Conference, where he was con-vineed that she would receive British support.—Reuter.
