CHINESE PIRACY
ACTIVITIES REDUCED
(United Press Association. —By Ttloetric Telegraph.—Copy right.)
RUGBY, April
Questioned in the House of Commons regarding piracy in Chinese waters, Sir Austen Chamberlain said that he was aware that piracy continued in Chinese waters, hut the activities of pirates had been considerably reduced during the past six months during which period there had been only three instances in which their operations had met with any measure of success. In none of those instances were British ships involved.
An attempt to secure concerted action by the Powers had met with no success, only Japan being prepared to co-operate with Britain. The waters in which piracy occurred were now regularly patrolled by Japanese or Chinese warships.
The formation of a policy against the pirates was discussed by the British Minister in Peking with General Li Chun during the former’s visit to Peking. General Li Chun was emphatic in his protest against piracy, and expressed the liopo that he would clear it]) the Bias Bay area within three mon His.
