Cantonese Attack British Proposal.
TfANKOW, China, Jan. H. Great
Britain's memorandum on the Chinese
situation providing for revision of
financial policies pursued by the for
eign powers in regard to customs and
surtaxes is attacked by the Canton
revolutionary government as a means
of aiding the North China militarists.
Application of the Washington confer
ence principles on the disposition of
surtaxes will give the Picking govern
ment about SS0,O00,0O0 annually,
which will be used by the northern
war lords to make war on the Canton
csc without restraint, it was declared.
Cable Kellogg.
Foreign Minister Chen of the south
ern republic has cabled the United
States department Of state re-
quest to refuse the British proposal.
The cable said 1--WE learn 1t is the
intention of the United States gov
eminent to agree to the British pro-
new revenue would be given to our
political enemies to renew warfare,
and thus delay the liberating of China
from International control. 1t means
not only that General Chang Tso-lin
will receive substantial revenues, but
gilt edged security will be created
enabling him to float loan and save
his inflated currency from collapse"
Chen also declared that the permit
ting of this "rich customs looting"
would result in bloody struggle for
Shanghai.
Press Unanimously Against II.
The Chinese press is almost unani-
nous in condemning the British pro-
posals. They declare the appearance
of liberality on the part Of Great Brit
ain is merely sop thrown at China.
They declare that hypocrisy prompted
Great Britain to make the proposal,
knowing that the other powers would
not accede, and thus, for commercial
reasons, allow Great Britain to blame
the others for aggression.
