The ships were required, he explained, for the protection of British missionaries, since new disturbances were breaking out in Shantung. He supported this appeal by pointing out that the United States was sending one ship to Ta-ku, that Italy had two ships ready to send, and that Germany had the use of her Kiaochow squadron.]
