PEELED to recall from Japan about
1000 students whom the Chinese gov
eminent was maintaining there in va
rious schools. Several months ago
these students began complaining that
their allowances were reduced or en-
tirely cut off. They protested to the
Chinese minister in Toxic, who ne
gotiated funds to bring many of the
students back to China. There was
some doubt in China as to the adj
visibility of having the students re-
turned from Japan at time when
the political conditions are so unset
tied. Most of the students are very
advanced thinkers, wholly out of sym

ment and other efforts to avoid the
modernization ofgChina.
