SHANGHAI, Nov. 25.-Generalis-
simo Chang Kai-Shek was said by
Chinese sources today to have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction to the Brit
ish Ambassador over Great Britain S
Far Eastern policies and to have
limited strongly that the time for a
showdown had arrived.
This was disclosed as the British
Ambassador, Sir Archibald Clark
Kerr, returned to Shanghai from a
conference with Chang somewhere
in Human" Province. Informed
quarters said the conference might
be the turning point In Anglo Chi
nese relations.
Sir Archibald declined to discuss
his talks with the generalissimo
other than to say Gen. Chang was
well, fit and optimistic
Chinese sources said, however.
that Gen. Chang told the Ambas-
sador Britain had failed to carry on
the traditional Anglo Chinese re-
lationship.
~ May Turn Elsewhere.
He was said to have told Sir Archi-
bald that unless British policies were
changed and aid was forthcoming
China would be forced to turn else
where. In that event, Gen. Chang
was reported to have said, Britain's
dominance in China would fade
away and the power that provides
the needed help would become the
paramount influence in Chinese for
eign affairs.
The Kuomintang is scheduled to
open an important session at Chung
king, temporary capital, early in De-
cember to determine China's foreign
policy for the future. Gen. Chang
was said to have urged Britain to
provide assurances of positive as
SiStance.
Britain thus was placed on the
horns of a dilemma, since Japan
frequently has asserted that Britain
must change her Far Eastern policies

Complaint Of Co|ored
Congressman Loses
Before !. T.. T..
Several Commissioners
Dissent on Ruling in
Favor of RuiIrood
N the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press,
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission dismissed today complaint
by Arthur w. Mitchell, colored Con-
gresham from Illinois, that the
Rock Island Railroad required him
to leave q Pullman car In Arkansas
and travel in coach inferior to the
Pullman.
Commissioners Eastman, Lee, Mil
Ter, Aitchison and porter dissented.
The I. G. c. has II members. Rep
resentative Mitchell charged that he
was travelling from Chicago to Hot
Springs, Ark. on April 20, 1887, and
that the conductor on the train re-
quired him to change cars when the
train entered Arkansas The rail-
road declared segregation of races
is required by Arkansas law.
Representative Mitchell contended
the law required equal but separate
accommodations" for both races and
that the accommodations for colored
persons were unsatisfactory.
"It is not for us to enforce the
State law" the commissions de-
cision said. 1--WE understand that
to be a matter for State authorities.
But In deciding the case on the
facts presented We must recognize
that under the State law defendants
must segregate colored passengers.
I'm these circumstances we find
that the present colored passenger
coach and the Pullman drawing
rooms meet the requirements of the
act, and that as there is compare
lively little colored traffic and no
indication that there is likely to be
such demand for dining car and
observations parlor car accommoda-
tons by colored passengers as to
warrant the running of any extra
cars or the construction Of parti-
tons.
