BRITAIN PROTESTS AGAINST
JAPAN's DEAL WITH CHINA

BY Associated Press.
PICKING. Jan 4.-Great Britain has
taken exception to Japan's protest
against China extending the Heia Min
Tun railroad northward. the contract for
the partial construction Of which mas
been given to a British firm.
The protest of Baron Hayashi, Japan
csc minister to China, against the ex-
tension of the railroad, gives as reason
that a parallel line would inJuriously
AFFECT the Japanese railway and pro-
nounces untenable Chtna's reJoinder tnat
the line would not be built nearer the
Japanese line than Is customary In for
eign countries.
Japan's course is no longer considered
a mere pretense by Great Britain in view
of the official action taken, but vio-
lation of equal rights severely affecting
British interests. The situation in Man
churia has diverted attention from the
negotiations between China and Great
Britain concerning the patrolling Of
the West river by British gunboats,
which practically has been dropped
for the present.
