FATE OF CHINESE
SACRIFICE IN VAIN LONDON PRESS FEARS ANGER OF JAPANESE HOSTILITY TO BRITAIN (Eloc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (R'ecd. Aug. 14, 3 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 13. The News-'Chronicle, in a leading article, says that Parliament if silting would have said hard words about the “cowardly decision” to hand over the four Chinese at Tientsin, which entirely failed to improve the British and Japanese relations. “If the Chinese are handed over, their lives will be thrown away;” states the News. Chronicle.
The Daily Telegraph, in a leading article, says it cannot foresee an early and satisfactory outcome to the Tientsin negotiations, but advocates a continuance of the talks in the hope that Japan may restore order in the occupied areas. Messages from Shanghai state that on the occasion of the second anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities, a Japanese aeroplane dropped 'leaflets inscribed, ‘‘Down with Britain. Exclude the British.” The plane accompanied an anti-British procession of 20,000 Japanese, who after a mass meeting, marched to the British Embassy.
