SAYS PEKING AIDS.
Observer Reports Central Government
Supports Strikers.

LONDON. June 30 CP.-The Shang
hal correspondent of the Morning
Post SAYS that the central government
at Peking has officially taken sides
with the agitators. contributing 800
600 to the strike funds and ordering
all government employees to contribute
a months pay.
Referring to the decision OF The
chamber of commerce TO reopen Chi
nese shops and banks, the correspond
ent says they have been instructed
10 boycott British and Japanese goods
The shipping and industrial strike is
10 continue.
Growing uneasiness over the Chi
nese situation is manifested in the
published comments and news report
here. due partly TO the breakdown of
the Shanghai conference and partly
10 the attitute of the centra' govern
ment at Peking. which is said TO have
given monetary aid To the anti-tor-
eign strikers.
The Times sees in the latter report
ground for increased anxiety, and il,
it's editorial comment characterizes
the general situa ton az disGuietinS.
The editorial expressions OF the othe!
papers are similar in tone.
Crisis Is Acute.
The Morning Post correspondent at
Tientsin telegraphs his paper as fol
lows:
The foreigners are convinced that
the crisis is at its acuteSt stage. Chi
nese passion has been infiamed to 8
most menacing pitch by the orgy oi
anti-foreign propaganda throughout
the country which seems 10 be wholly
in the hands of the agitators.
1t is strongly suspected that the
movement will take q revolutionary
complexion, and that the extremists
will ride into power on a wave OF anti
foreign psychosis. Attempts are be
ing made to seduce the troops. but
these hitherto have been without
much success.
Unless the feeling calms. it will
be impossible to arrive at an agreed
settlement on the immediate issue
since the Chinese commissioners are
not likely to accept responsibility in
view of the attitude of the mob.
The position is such that it he
hooves the powers to lose no time in
preparing for an extreme emergency.
