this our general edict, to lie made known

A significant statement in the above
edict. is noted in that passage which di-
reefs an investigation OF all claims, "ex-
cept those arising directly from the said
attack (attack on Tien Tsin) with view
to their ultimate settlement
This appears to make plain, not only
that the Chinese Government will settle
claims for actual losses, but that it has
now formally decreed an exception Of
those claims arising directly from the
attack on Tien Tsin. 1t seems to indi-
cate that the Chinese Government holds
that the attack on Tien Tsin was unwar'
ranted.
