China's New Policy.

During April there became effective in China a new citizenship law, forbidding under severe penalties Chinese subjects to become naturalized in any other country. Hereafter, in reply to the statement that foreign nations will not permit Chinese to become citizens, the government at Pekin will reply that China herself does not permit the expatriation of her subjects. At the same time China is holding a firm hand in Manchuria against both Russian and Japanese control of that section.
