DR, K0O PROTESTS
 BRITISH ACTION
Objects to Troops Being Sent
 to China

Picking. Jan. s1 F)--v. K. We'll i ington Roo. foreign minister of the northern government. today ad- dressed a note to the British lega- tion here protesting against the dis patching of British forces to Shang- hal and asked that 1t be sent to London in the hope that the British government would give necessary instructions for the immediate with drawal of troops dispatched to China 50 nothing untoward may happen to mar the friendly rela- tions of the two nations"
 The foreign minister's note de- ciared the dispatch of additional naval and military forces to China Is contrary to the spirit of the League of Nations covenant. It cannot be overemphasized that the national spirit of the Chinese peo- pie has been developed and the mil itary movements on the part of the British government is liable 10 lead to serious misunderstanding" Dr. Koo further declared that If the object of the expedition was merely to protect the Shanghai in tcrnational settlement, such is un- necessary, maintaining that the !! Chinese authorities are capable of doing that, while a large number of foreign troops in this area might lead to unforeseen complications, for which the Chinese government could not be held responsible"
 The note expressed surprise that Great Britain. had decided to send to China "a large. number of regu- lar troops, warshsps, submarines and airplanes, which cannot but be deemed the most extraordinary action"
 /. It declared that the expedition also was contrary to q resolution adopted by the Washington confer ence in which the powers agreed to respect China's sovereignty and withdraw. all troops stationed in China not in conformity with the provisions of existing treaties. t.
 London. Jan. s1 ,F-The British government. competent circles say. does not take seriously the protest made by the Picking government to- day protesting the dispatch of Brit ish forces to Shanghai and asking for their immediate withdrawal
 This expression of the British governments position indicates that the demands will not be granted. The transports bearing the forces continue on their way to the far east.
