c. T. Wang, member of the Chinese
-Oz.1riaAssieN ssyded by the Picking
government STAKES:
why a judicial inquiry now? Had
such an inquiry started Immediately
after the deplorable affair in Shanghai
it would have been very proper. Being

However, the diplomatic corps took
different course when it appointed a
special commission Of inquiry which
went to Shanghai, Investigated and re-
ported to the diplomatic body.
"The Chinese government was duly

d'affaires would represent the inter
ested powers in dealing with us. The
Chinese government agreed in this
case. Suddenly the French minister
declined to serve. The report was
pigeonholed and the matter was al
lowed TO drift while the Chinese in
Shanghai suffered the great hardships
British Ignore Chinese Sovereignty.

While expressing admiration for the
British people. Wang declares that the
British governments proposal for ju-

justice" and gives Great Britain the
appearance of wishing to whitewash
the Shanghai municipal council He
inquiries whether the report Of the dip
lomatic commission was favorable or
unfavorable TO the council
Can the government impose its will
upon another without the latter's con-
sent?" Mr.. Wang demands. The other
members Of the Chinese high commits

Anfu Party Meeting DIsfavor.
In spite OF this pro-liDeration senti-
ment showing definitely in such high
places, the Picking government is
more and more arousing against it the
hostility of millions of Chinese be-
cause the provisional president, Tuan
Chi-1ui. is lining up with the imperial
lists and Is supporting Chang Tso-lin
in his efforts to suppress the Shang-
hal strike.
The political party of reaction
among the Chinese, the Anfu clique,
controls Tuan Chijui, weak per
sonality, and It is claimed that the
real ruler is Tsao Ju-lin, a crafty pol
iticlan Of the Anfu clique known all
over the orient as "Japan's best
friend"
