CHINESE OFFICIALS
OPPOSE ARMS LOAN
Military eovsriAors and other Leaders
Of Three Provinces Looking to
to Japanese Control Of Iron Deposits.


Of Three Provinces Looking to
to Japanese Control Of Iron Deposits
Picking, Nov. 4.-The military gov
ernors and other military leaders OF
Kiang-Si, Kiang-Su and Hupe prov
inces have sent strong protests to
President Kwo- Chang and Premier
Tuan Jul against the proposed Japan
ese arms loan, carrying control Of the
Nanking iron deposits and the en-
ployment of Japanese advisors.
The protest warns the Pekins Off
cials against negotiations designed to
prevent naturalization Of China's re-
manning iron. Kwang-Si and Kwang-
Tung officials acting thru the inde-
pendent parliament at Canton also
have protested to Peking against the
arms deal but the action Of the seceed-
ing provinces is less vital than the pro-
tests from the YangTse-Kiang valley
provinces which are SUI loyal altho
apparently wavering.
The arrival in Picking Of Eki Hioki,
former Japanese ministed to China,
and his conferences with members OF
the cabinet, have prompted editorials
in many papers in which it was charg-
ed that Hioki really Is helping to pro-
mote the most important of the group
of five demands presented to China in
1915 and later withdrawn for the time,
altho the former Japanese minister
obstensibly is here to investigate the
prospects for oil developments.
The widespread opposition to the
arms deal I has brought conflicting
statements from cabinet members, who
are anxious to avoid responsibility. 1t
is reported that the original terms of
the agreement have been modified con-
siderably. The plans provide for the
cooperative development Of the iron
mines by the Chinese and Japanese but
many newspapers denounce the scheme
as subterfuge to overcome public
opposition.
