This article focuses on the announcement by the National government at Nanjing, Jiangsu Sheng China that "an agreement has been signed by the Chinese and British governments providing for the training of Chinese naval cadets in England and for the engagement by the Chinese Government of a British naval mission to assist in the development of the Chinese navy." The significance of this announcement will be the better appreciated if one remembers the secret contract of October 21, 1911, whereby the Chinese government agreed, among other things, to buy from the Bethlehem Steel Corp. all the necessary materials for the naval vessels it might construct.
