present trouble between Nationalist
China and the powers, who continue
to sustain the unequal treaties.
"It is these inequitable treaties
which constitute the chief danger to
foreign lives and property in China,
and the danger will persist as long as
effective government is rendered diff
cult by foreign insistence upon condi-
tons which force humiliation and
menace upon a nation which is
known for it's greatness and which to-
day is conscious of renewal of its
strength.
1.-The Nationalist government, ac-
cordingly is prepared and ready to APP
point delegates to negotiate with del
egates of the United States for salts
factory settlement of the issues and
differences pending between National
list China and the United States, on
terms which will assure the legitimate
interests of both countries and reci-
procity in their relations"

Inquiry Under Way.
'"The demands for adequate punish
naent of the commanders of the troops
| responsible for murders, personal in
| juries, indignities and material dam
age done, as also for all persons found
| implicated. necessarily assumes the
guilt of the Nationalist forces who
captured Marking. While this guilt
was contradicted in a preliminary
statement issued on March 81, a rigid
government inquiry is being conduct
ed to ascertain the exact facts in the
case, including verification of the out
standing facts in the report to the
military council by Gen. Chen Chen,
who took Marking, that his forces
rounded up and captured approximate
ly 10000 Northern soldiers with rifles.
besides 1000 camp followers inside
the CITY. Gen. Chen Chen has also
reported that a number of those i'm
plicated already have been executed.
1.-THE Nationalist government pro-
poses that the question of punishment
should await the findings of govern
ment inquiry, now in progress, or of
an international commission of in
curry to be instituted Immediately by
the United States and the Nationalist
government.
Proposes Forming Commission.
"As the laws of nations and the
recognized practices of civilized states
prohibit the bombardment of cities on
territories of friendly states, the Ma
tionalist government proposes a COM
mission of inquiry also to investigate
the circumstances of the lombard
ment of the unfortified city of Marking
by naval forces of the United States.
1.-THE demand fo~ an apology IN
writing by the ommander-fn-chief OF
the Nationalist army, including writ
ten undertaking to refrain from Vlo-
lence against foreign lives and prop
erty, is, as far as an apology is con-
cerned, justified on proof of National
list guilt for the Marking disturbances.
The Nationalist government, there
| fore, proposes that the question or an
apology should also await determine
ton of the question of guilt, either by
the government inquiry, now in pro-
gress or by the proposed interna-
tional commission.
"In the meantime the Nationalist
government repeats the expression of
regret which the minister of foreign
affairs communicated to the United
States Government directly it was re-
ported to him that the United States
consulate was violated"
Seeks to Protect Lives"
1.-THE Nationalist government, as the
responsible governing body. does not
countenance the use of any form of
violence or agitation against foreign
lives and property. Indeed, the pro-
lection of foreign lives and property
has been repeatedly declared a set
tied policy of the Nationalist govern
ment. The proper authorities of the
Nationalist army will, of course, be
instructed to give not only written
undertaking in this sense. but to see
that effective measures are taken to
afford proper protection for foreign
lives and property.
1.-THE Nationalist government, how
ever, would be lacking in candor if it
failed to regard and emphasize that
the best guarantee for the effective
protection Of American and other for
eign lives and property lies in re
moval of the fundamental cause of the

Intra.Party Fight Possible.

The decisions OF the Marking con-
ference mark the complete cleavage
of the Moderate section of the Can
tonese, headed by Chang Kai-Shek,
from the Communist and Extremist
section which is in control of the Can
tonese government at Hankow.
They present the possibility of an
armed struggle between the two
Southern factions, which struggle has
been increasingly forecast by dis
patches from China.
Chang thus may be forced to fight
both the Northern troops, who are
pressing him in the YangtZe battle
area, and his former allies at Han
kow, unless he is able to make some
arrangement with the Northerners for
combined action against the red eie'
ment.
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, the Man
churian war lord who controls the
Picking government in the north, is
an outspoken foe of Communism, and
recently drew fire from Moscow by
raiding the Soviet embassy compound
in Picking.
May Send New Reply.
The decisions of the Marking con-
ferees also throw a new complication
into the question of redress for the
anti-foreign outrages Of last month at
Marking.
Shanghai dispatches only yesterday
| indicated that Chang was leaving the
matter of the reply entirely to Chen
but today's developments may result
| in a separate reply from the govern
| ment to be set up at Marking by
Chang.
Communist opposition to Chang was
shown in Moscow dispatches today
saying he had been denounced in the
newspapers of the central committee
of the Communist party as a traitor
to the Chinese revolution" and an
ally of the imperialists.
10000 ON Strike.
Ninety thousand persons were on
strike today in Shanghai, needing the
call of the labor leaders to leave their
posts as a protest against Chang X /
Shek's raids on labor unions. Public
utilities were seriously affected, but no
disturbances were reported, as Chang $
