ERMANY'S POLICY

 Unified SfdfeS
Recent Events in Samoa Believed inc Berlin Government Will Be Called 10 Account for Her Afti- jude in inc Philippines.

Lcndon, Feb. 17-UEtil Lord Charles Beresford reaches Londlln and epor5s the result of his investigation of the conditions in China there is likely to
 be little discussion of Chinese affairs in parliament, or elsewhere. Wednes- days perfunctOry debate indicated th9t the foreign office had no information to give or policy to declare, and that 1t is content to watch even5s in China and act accordingly, laying stress upon the recent concessions granted to English interests. It's opponents could only repeat the old criticisms of this drifting policy It is incidentally stated that Lord Beresford's inquiry is unofficial but his opinions are bound to influence public opinion much.
 Letters fr-ln China are beginning to t0 convey hints of his views, which he is likely to amplify in speeches, and interviews in America The best infor- nation is that ne believes that the Chi nese empire $ rapidly crumbling and that a policy Of definite action by the powers having large commercial inter- estes in China is i12per2tively neces- sary, his fav0rite project is an under standing between England, Germany, the United States and Jarln for the maintenance of the open door, protec- tion and reorganization of the Chinese government and thorough-going mili- tary and financial reforms.
 He finds that the weakness, obsti macy, intrigues and corruption of Chi nese administration, local and general, hinder the fulfllment of treaty stipu- Iations and raise countless obstacles to trade. These could be removed or lessened by reforms under European direction, supported by the powers named. Similarly, English officers might reorganize the Chinese army as Englishmen reorganized the Chinese customs system. Obstacles to such proposals are the difficulty of(rniting the four powers in common action, Russian and French rivalries and, above all, the Indifference and OPPosi- lticn of the Chinese authorities. If an understanding between the four pow CTS is impracticable, Lord Bercsford believes that England should make the Yangtse valley unmistakably is sphere of influence and resenerata the internal administration there. The chance Of ultimate WAT turks in the -ivalrie5 for spheres of influence, which Lord Beres- fc~d believes common actio nfor the protection Of China by the four com mercial powers would avert.
