BRITISH PARLIAMENT
(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.] STATEMENT IN COMMONS. LONDON, April JO. In the Commons, Mr Lampsou, in reply to Mr Kemvorthy, said military operations between north and south in China were momentarily at a standstill. Steamers running on the rivers were continuously fired on, even when convoyed by nien-o-war. Later reports showed Chinese troops appeared under better control. Looting had decreased as Communists left or were arrested. Shanghai was quiet. British trade in South China was reviving, and on the whole, the demand for British goods was satisfying. Mr Churchill informed Mr Pethiek Lawrence that conversions since 1918 had increased the face value of the national debt by 318 millions, hut face values were misleading. Actually the annual interest charge had decreased in the last seven years by forty-seven milions yearly.
