Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-04-08

SHANGHAI, April Z. (P-The possi-
biity of the removal of the soviet
embassy at Peking to Hankow, the
seat of the Cantonese, or nationalist
government, was suggested today by
Wilhelm f. Linde, soviet consul here,
as a result of yesterdays raid by
northern saldfers on buildings at
tached to the Russian embassy.
Linde said that such removal was
not impossible, in discussing the in
cident with newspapermen after he
had called on the Norwegian consul
general, dean of the diplomatic corps
in Shanghai, to announce that he
would hold the consular body respon-
sible if the consulate here were raided
also. Rumors have been in circula-
tion that such a raid was contem-
plated.
The soviet consul general also de-
clared that if the Peking raid was
carried out with the approval of the
diplomatic corps it would set a pre-
cedent that would endanger the foun-
dation of diplomatic prerogatives.
While interest continued to center.
here on the international possibilities
of the Peking raid, insofar as it may
cause serious repercussions in Mos
COW, foreigners in various sections of
China are steadily evacuating the
areas where anti-foreign agitation
has been spreading.
HankoW, scene of a growing tense
ness, was the center of riotous anti
foreign outbreaks over last week end
resulting in further plans for rapid
departure of the comparatively few
+ m a nj g foreigners. Situation
growing worse steadily was a wire
less message received from there to-
day.
With lawlessness in the city ap
parently increasing, the commander
Of the United States Yangste river
patrol is urging Americans still in
the city to leave as soon as possible.
Japanese are leaving the city in in
creasing numbers, while German and
Russian nationals are preparing to
leave soon.

member of the Augustana synod
