Pekin, March The Chinese gov
ernment is greatly perturbed BY the res+-
ports of anti4foreign movements print
led in the American and European press
and particularly by dispatches annotinc7
ing Americas preparations for a military

ports, it is alleged. tend to ef1barrass
foreign ministers and create strained re-
lations between them and officials here.
"a long edict published in the official
gazette today, after referring to the war
like reports, declares that they are CIR
cnlated by traitors who wish TO separate
China from her friends. The edict points
out great difficulties which copfront Chr
ma at present and the strong need for
maintaining friendly relations with the
powers. It reproves the Chinese stu
dents for meddling with politics and
charges officials high and low to- thor
Houghly protect the lives and property sof
foreigners, specifying missions under
pain of the most severe punishment.
