CHINA AND JAPAN.
CHINESE DEMANDS. Paris, April 12. China suggests the gradual abolition of extra territorial privileges and the remission of the balance of the Boxer indemnity, which will greatly assist her rehabilitation. She undertakes to expend this on education. She also asks for the abolition of pre-' ferential or exclusive rights, which have done more than anything to keep China closed against foreign enterprise, besides being an endless cause of international jealousy. Weihaiwei, Kwangchau, Port Arthur, Dalny, and Shantung should be returned to her and converted into free ports. China, in return, would make readjustments. She was willing to open her resources to the whole world, and, as the Chinese would become members of the League of Nations, others could not logically refuse to extend to her the treatment conceded to the smaller countries of Europe.—Aus.-N.Z. CaWe Assn.
New York, April 12. . The Mexico City correspondent of the New York Times states that it is officially announced that the Japanese interests referred to in a cablegram on March 31 have not been made concessions in Lower California.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
