LETTER &d4

The frantic howls of President
Adolfo Diaz in Nicaragua for active
American Intervention to save his
skin is nowhere duplicated in China.
In fact, even Chang Tso-lin, the
Manchurian war lord who controls
Pelling, has made public squawl,
against the sending of more foreign
troops and warships to The Shanghai
area, although this might seem to
aid his ally, Sun Chuan-fang, in the
latter's defense of Shanghai.
The Chinese situation cannot be
explained in terms of military zones,
for The nationalist spirit seems u
lave affected the Chinese all over
China, as evidenced by widespread
membership in the Kuomintang, This
nationalist party, incidentally, is very
strong among all Chinese outside of
China. The manager of your favorite
chop suey restaurant or laundry prob
ably belongs to it.
Every Chinese agrees tina. China
needs a strong, stabilized central
government and most of them agree
that the Kuomintang offers the only
existing hope of such an achieve
ment.

WASHINGTON-Dr. Sao-Ke Alfred
Sze, Chinese minister to the United
States, represents more people than
any oAher diplomat in the world.
If he were just an ordinary diplo-
mat he might take sides with the
Peking government, which pays his
salary and the legation rent, or
with the Cantonese, who at this
moment look like a very good bet.
If the Nicaraguan or Mexican gov
ernment were forced out by revolu-
ton, for instance, the new president
would soon appoint new minister
or ambassador to Washington.
But if the Cantonese take over
the Peking government, it's virtually
certain that S4e will either hold his
Job or be taken back home and given
a better one.
Officially Sze now represents tho
Feking government. Unofficially, he
also represents the southern govern
ment at Canton. Tt is very likely
thatNhe cakes orders from the Kuom-
intang. At any rate, it is certa n
that he is in communication with
the cantonese ana eXchanglng views
and news with them.
This writer has been told that
Chinese diplomats in other capitals
of the world are also taking orders
from the Cantonese.
The. fact that this may be true
and the fact that none of them are
carrying on any anti-Cantonese pro-
paganda demonstrates the unanimity
of the Chinese people-and even the
two principal governments of China
when it comes to the Chinese desire
to put their country on an equal
basis of sovereignty with the other
nations of the world

tain atmosphere, the guard in the capital was .trebled and troops throughout the country were order cd to stand by to deal with any demonstrations by supporters of former Crown Prince Carol. Bra tianu. who dominated Rumania for more than quarter Of a century, was more than any other individual responsible for the removal Of Carol from the right of succession 10 the throne.
 Brother His Successor
 Nintila Bratianu. younger brother of lonel, was quickly appointed premier by the regency which rules for the six year old King Michael. He was asked to preside until Sun day, when a full national funeral for his brother will be held. despite the latter's dying wish for the simplest of burials.
 Princess Helen. whom Carol de serted when he fled 10 Paris with Mazda Lupescu. Is said to be dis tracted over the premier's death. She fears that Carol will attempt to return and has already expressed her determination 70 leave the coun- try If he does.

Say Carol Summoned

Paris, Nov. % Np - The con- tinental edition Of the London Daily Mail says that one Of the first acts at the death of Premier Bratianu. O. the opposition parties. which wish former Grown Prince Carol 10 withdraw his renunciation of the throne, was 10 telegraph him to return to Bucharest.
 T. is understood that q great step was taken toward cttecting the re- turn of Carol and his candidacy for the throne by reconciliation be- tween him and the royal family.
 Whether the death Of Bratianu will hclp Carols return is debated here. Many persons who arc well informed on Rumanian matters say that Carol was only used as a stalking horse by the opposition in the hope Of oVcrthrowIng the late premier. Since that has been Rc- complished by the hand of death, they argue that the opposition cham pionship of Carol may become lukcwarm or may vanish altogether

MICKEY WALKER

Punished for Ignoring Courtney
 Challenge

New York, Nov. o5 LP = Mickey Walker. worlds middleweight cham pion. and his manager. Jack Kearns, today were put on the ineligible list Of the New York State Athletic com- mission for failure to reply within 80 days to challenge from George Courtney. of Oklahoma, for a title match.
 The action amounts to an indfinite suspension but the commission ev- plained that 1t could not actually suspend Walker or kearns inasmuch IS neither at present holds a New York license. The commission did not take into consideration its usual allowance of six months to cham pions after they have defended their titles. Walker fought and knocked out Tommy Milligan, British chal- lengcr, in London on June 30, less than five months ago. Walker hasn't defended his title in the United States since he won it from the late Tiger Flowers at Chicago last De- cember.
 Jack McVey of New York, negro nfiddleweight. and title contender, volunteered to fight Courtney and the commission indicated it would sanction such a match as an "elim- nation" contest

 The whole system of the Ruman- ian government rested on the late Premier and because of the politi- cal inexperienCe of the leaders of the various parties a long and dit- ticult crisis seems 10 be the inevi- table prospect.
 This causes undsguised anxiety, since EUmania Is situated between countries dissatisfied with preent treaties. Russia claims Bessarabia, which was handed over to Rumania by the peace treaties. Bulgaria and Hungary are agitatinG also for the division Of those treaties and the return of the territory which they formerly held but which was grant ed 70 Eumania.
