Great throngs gathered at the inclos-
ures where memorial services were
held for the Shanghai dead.
But the important item Of interest
is yesterdays two notes from the
Chinese foreign office addressed to
foreign powers.
Hit at Old Treaties.
One, regarding treaty revision, was
addressed to the ministers Of the inn
perialist powers concerned in the
Washington treaty, and the other, re-
garding the negotiations over the
Shanghai massacre, was addressed to
the ministers concerned in the nego-
tiations over the Shanghai massacre,
was addressed to the ministers con-
cerned in the negotiations.
The first note refers to the grow
ing demand of the Chinese people for
revision of the treaties, contending
that they are ancient, based on a diff
ferent situation than exists, and
we're, when concluded, signed only
by reason Of force exercised upon
China by imperialist powers, and
without China being permitted to dis
cuss them fully and freely.
while these inequalities and
privileges exist" the note argues,

ton and are apt to produce friction
and distrust which disturb cordial
relations"
+, The note further declares that at
the time China was persuaded" to
| join the allies in the war against Ger
many, the Chinese people were told
by the allies that they could expect
an improvement in the status of their
government in its relation with for
! eign powers.
Find Allied Promises Eme,ty.

to the working class of the allied
countries, has evidently found that
the promises of the allied govern
ment of democracy" and other fine
things pledged to gain support for the
imperialist war, were all empty prom
ises, make deliberately to trick them
into the struggle.
For the note of China sets out that
China is greatly disappointed be-
/ cause it's status has not been inn
proved as promised, while in some
respects it is even inferior to that of
the defeated nations"
Against Territorial Privileges.
Only by an abolition of the terri
torial privileges, declares the Chinese
note, can better protection be provid.
ed for foreign interests upon the
basis of more cordial relations.
Upon the Shanghai situation, the
Chinese government asserts that just.
! ice cannot be done unless the impe-
rialist powers at least discuss, as they
refused to do at Shanghai, the thir-
teen provisions of the demands form.
