Though China has not discussed with

separate peace, have ascertained from
interviews with them that a majority
Of the officials favor adherence to the
so-called London pact, binding the al
lies to concerted action in the peace ne

cussed at the next cabinet meeting. at
which time the question Of whether
China shall be bound by the economic
pact signed in Paris will also be

Efforts on the part Of the southern
ers to cause trouble are dwindling.
Their attempt to form a parliament re-
suited in the appearance of only sixty
members. DIR. Sun Vat Sen and his fol-
lowers appear to be completely dis
credited.
The number Of officials who are urg-
ing the sending of a military force to
Europe is increasing, but the lack of
transport makes this almost impossible.
There Is a chance that the seized Aus
ro-German shipping may be used for
that purpose. though Great Britain
wants to charter the vessels.

believes that the regulation evening
