It is learned that no new inguiry into the circumstances surrounding. the kidnapping and murder of Mr. Gareth Jones, formerly secretary to Mr. Lloyd George, has yet been undertaken by the British Authorities here, as the first inquiry has not yet been completed.
Following the discovery that Mr. Jones had been murdered the British Embassy made representations to the Chinese Government, requested thet an inguiry be made, and demanded that those concerned in the murder be punished. In reply, the Chinese authorities stated that ah investigation into the matter already had been ordered. The British authorities now are inquiring as to the results of this inquiry.
The suggestion sade in London that Mr. Jones possibly had been murdered because he "knew too much" generally regarded here as being extremely silly.
