Attention must be called to the letter from "A Sufferer" in last Sunday's correspondence column, which dwells upon" the fact. that the Bri sufferers from the Nan-icing "incident" have received no re parations, although the Americans have, onthe whole received their money. It is three years since that incident "occurred nineteen months since the Sino-British Agreement was signed; yet, through some act of negligence on the part either of British or Chinese offi no settlement of the amount to be paid has been reached and the reparations have not been made, It is really unfair to those who have lost their property that such a situation should continue and it is of no advantage to the Chinese Government that this just com-jon for a very great injury be outstanding. Surely, this is more a debt of honour than a repayment of an obligation—and debts of honour cannot be allowed te wait too long. It is hoped that Dr. C.'T. Wang, will gee his way as expeditiously as possible to find a figure which shall be sufficient to cover the reparations and that Mr. T. V. Soong will find the money—and let there be for ever an end to unpleasant episode' in Sino-British relations, which everyone wants to forget.
