der Foreign Secretary Lord Cranborne,
in reply said Field Marshal Won Walder-
see had expressed regret and promis ed
to takes measures to proven recurrence
of similar incidents. Lord Cranborne
proceeded to make a general statement
on the China question. saying the gov
ernmentS chiefly concerned at present
was to moderate as far as possible the
demands for indemnity and see that
they did not infringe on commercial in
terests. The government therefore un-
alterably opposed raising import duties
to 10 per cent as security for payment
of the indemnity and in reply to all
such suggestions. had signitied that
Great Britain would only consent to
such rise of duties in connection with
the commercial improvements in the
Chinese fiscal system such as abolition
of the likin taxes. AS to indicating
the total indemnity there We're more
ways than one to achieve this object
and China's burden might be percepti-
bly, lightened by this method of exact
ing payment. In regard to the proposal
that indemnity be betrayed by a loan
guaranteed by the concert of powers,
undoubtedly China's obligation to pay
indemnity was a joint obligation and
tho he hoped it would not be necessary
if such a loan was guaranteed it would
have to be by the joint force of all
the powers The objection to joint
guarantee. however, was so obvious
that the government would have moth
ing to do With it. Considering that
British credit stood higher than that of
any other power while Great Britain
only claimed small portion of the in
demnlty it would be noling short OF
insane to agree to Jointly guarantee a
loan.
After mentioning that three high
placed delinquents had been executed
End that three had been permitted to
commit suicide four had been banshed,
and the powers had demanded punish
ment OF 40 provincial culprits, Can
borne concluded by saying that on the
whole affairs in China wele entering on
more pacific phase and the govern
ment hoped soon to withdraw large
portion of the British troops.
