WI Ting Fang Says 1t Is Solely an Act
Of Retaliation.
Picking, Feb. 24.-Wu Ting Fang,
former Chinese minister to the United
States, when interviewed for the first
time OH the existing situation in China,
spoke in support of the boycott.
WI Ting Fang is now living quietly
in Picking, devoting his time to codify-
ing the laws of China, one of the nu-
merous reforms under way. Speaking
of the boycott WI Ting Fang said:
MANY Chinese who have gone
abroad to America, Australia and the
Philippines write home complaining Of
arbitrary determinations made against
the Chinese. which dare not be at
tempted against other foreigners.
Therefore every one is angry and
hence the boycott of American goods,
illustrating the feeling against the un.
just exclusion laws. It has spread
over all China and is solely in retalia-
ton against unjust discrimination and
Is not anti-foreign."

81 washington, Feb. 24.-Ambassader
White has cab1ed the state department
from Algeciras that the Moroccan con-
ference had adjourned for several days
utter discussing at some length the
question of an international bank. A
very strong spirit of Cancellation ap-
peared to prevail.

there is no immediate prospect of a
hostile issue between France and Ger
many on this subject. ~.
Algeciras, Spain, Feb, 24.-The first
feeling of depression over Germany's
rejection of the French proposals is
gradually wearing. off and a slightly
more hopeful feeling is observable
among the delegates. This is due
largely to the amicable spirit shown
between the French and German dele
gates during the formal debates on the
Moroccan bank question. Strong infiu-
ences operate to induce the Germans
to recognize the syndicate Of French
bankers who furnished the first loan
to Morocco and who seek thereby to
obtain preferred position In the state
bank. The deadlock on the question
Of policing Morocco Is unchanged, but
the improved feeling also extends to
that question. HI.
