HOMELAND POLICY
Cooperation With British
Expected to Follow Nan
king Bombardment.

Whatever else may develop from
the present crisis in China the joint
bombardment at Marking by Amer
lean and British naval forces means
the end of the attempt Of the United
States to play a lone hand In the
Far East.
Due to the fact that British in
vestments are many times larger than
those of American citizens the WASH
ington Government has been inclined
to feel that the sending OF the large
British force in January was a policy
which made it difficult for the United
States to cooperate. Had the Brit
ish sent small force there would
have been no embarrassment in join
ing with the British.
The footing at Marking and at
lacks on American citizens, however,
forced the hand of the American Gov
eminent, and today Washington is
grateful that the British have a large
force on hand to assist in protecting
the Americans. The orders given to
the American naval commanders TO
cooperate with the British forces now
are unqualified. 1t is no longer a
diplomatic policy. but a military prob
lem, and in this the Navy Depart
ment has been given a free hand.
,Japan's Hand Also Forced.
For some time in the conversations
between Great Britain and the United
States the fear has been expressed
that the presence of a large military
force might provoke outrages against
all foreigners.
Japan, like the United States. has
endeavored to steer an individual
course, but events have compelled the
three powers TO present a united
front. There are some suggestions
heard that the division of opinion
among the foreign powers was partly
responsible for the indifference Of the
Chinese commanders to the various
protests concerning the inadequate

FRENCH CONDEMN
HARSH ULT|MATUM
Believe Americana British Pol
icy May Develop Into
Active Warfare.

b. Cable TO The Star and New York World.
PARIS. March 26.-The govern
mental belief here in that the ulti-
matum of British and American naval
commanders TO the Cantonese at Nan
king was too harsh and may have
been the first step in what may
develop into an active state Of war.
France has maintained a neutral
attitude toward Chinese events, but
may initiate a policy more or less
opposed to the British American plan.
While condemnlng Gen. Chang KianG
Chek, Cantonese cOmmander-in-Chi
for his failure to control his troops.
the French view, which is evidently
based on reports from French repre-
sentatives. is that the British-Amer-
lean uitimatum was stronger than
necessary.
It is declared here that British and
American representatives in China
can hardly be ignorant that Gen.
Chek and Chang Tso Lin. Manchurian
dictator, are trying to get together on
national program and that foreign
powers. by taking an aggressive at
titude towards the Cantonese at this
time, may weld several groups against
them.
There has been no move vet to in
dictate that France will break entirely
from the other powers In China. In
dications are rather that she will use
her influence to change what il con
siders dangerous activities of foreign
forces through naval commanders
whose powers, France thinks, should
be curtailed.

RICHMOND, Va. March 26.--As a
result OF protests by the Virginia State
Dairymen's Association. of which G. T.
Rice of Oakton is president. and by
other dairy interests, there will be no
change in the present system of dairy
inspection in Virginia, it was indicated
here.
The association and a large delega-
ton OF dairy representatives from all
parts of the State registered their op~
position 10 change In no uncertain
tones at meeting last week In the
Senate chamber. The committees on
courts of justice and on agriculture
received the protests sympathetically
and voted in favor OF leaving the dairy
inspection service as it is.
The hearing was on a committee
recommendation that dairy inspection
work now carried on by the State
dairy and food division be placed under
the State department OF health and
that the instruction work of the di-
vision be placed under the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute.
The dairymen announced their com
piete satisfaction with the way the
