Woodhead, the Editor-in-chief of the "Peking and Tientsin Times," who is now on a@ visit to London, has published a series of lengthy articles in the Morning Post,"' continuing from July 16 to July 21, with regard to the present state of affairs in China, and that the gist of the articles is_as follows If part of the Boxer Indemnity due to Great Britain should be applied to educational work in China, it should be on condition that Chinese students shall not participate in either political or any anti-foreign movement. The decision on the method of disposing of the Boxer indemnity due to Great Britain shall be postponed pending the establishment of measures for international financial assistance to China. It cannot always be said in these days that Chinese merchants are honest. They have no spirit to oppose militarists. Though they, are blindly following the movement for the restoration of Port Arthur and Dairen, apparently they cannot foresee that should the above places be restored to China, Dairen, which is one of the three greatest open ports in China, would certainly decline. The first and foremost step to be taken for the salvation of China is the restoration of the Manchu Dynasty.
The Powers should above all; (1) notify QOhina of the indefinite' postponement of the execution of various advantages Chin has secured as 9 result of the Washington Conference (2) withdraw the recognition of the Chinese Government in the event of Tsao Kun,.who is responsible for the recent. political disorders in Peking, assuming the Presidency; (3) extend the scope of the China's special tariff conference to questions concerning political as well as financial affairs of China; and (4) abandon the policy' of threatening China by military force, but form a plan to make an alliance with peaceful and good elements of "the Chinese people.
Fortunately, measures to be adopted by Great Britain for the betterment of China will without doubt receive the support of the United States.—Eastern News Agency.
