§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the Chinese labour cartoons, issued by Radical agencies at the last general election, are being reproduced in a popular journal in Peking; and whether, in view of the fact that these pictorial inexactitudes are calculated to inflame Chinese resentment against British residents in China, and interfere with British trade with that country, he will represent to the Chinese Government the desirability of stopping the further circulation of these cartoons.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI have noticed statements in the Press to this effect, but have no other information on the subject. His Majesty's Chunjé d' Affaires at Peking will no doubt inform us if he considers any action necessary in order to protect British subjects or British trade from the dangers anticipated by the hon. Member.
