SHANGHAI, June 21-Reports
from Hankow state that conference
Of the military and political councils
with officers at Chengchow has re-
suited in complete agreement regard
ing political and military plans for
the unification Of China. Feng Yu-
hsiang is taking charge Of the drive
against Picking in cooperation with
Yen Hsi-shan, who is advancing from
Shansi. Tang Sheng-chi, the Human
csc general, and Chang Fa-kwei, the
famous leader Of the "iron army"
from Canton, will be used in other
revolutionary work south Of the Vel
low River, according to the reports.
The cooperation Of the Yen Hsi-shan
means the Nationalist acquisition Of
large and prosperous province and
gives the Nationalists an opportun-
ity for a direct drive also march
against Picking.
Political committees for Honan,
Shensi, and Kansu were appointed at
a special meeting with five members
of the presidium Of the political coun-
ell present at the Chenchow confer
ence. The five leaders were: Sun Fo,
Wang Ching-wei, Kou Meng-yu Hsu
Chen, and Tan Yen-kai Feng Yu-
hsiang was appointed as chairman Of
the Honan committee, Yu Yu-jen of
the one in Shensi, and Liu u-feng Of
the committee in Kansu. A sub-politi-
cal committee is to be in charge Of
party work in the three provinces
named and was appointed with Feng
Yu-hsiang as chairman.
The entire conference was con-
cluded within three days of intensive
work, without formalities and ban
quets. those concomitants to political
confabs used to prolong and render
conferences thoroughly futile. Mem
bers of the Chengchow conference
spent eighteen hours day at the
conference table to settle every ques-
ton on the long agenda.
The Hankow officials were gone a
week. Returning they were greeted
at every station by troops, the peo-
pie, the Red Spears, Boy Scouts, and
by representatives of public bodies
with great ovations.
Among the matters arranged at
the conference was the re-opening of
the Honan railways by Sun Fo, the
Minister Of Communications. The
Kin-Han and Lung-hai lines win be
re-opened to regular traffic as soon
as troop movements permit. Reopen
ing these lines will materially relieve
the economic situation, as Hankow's
prosperity depends upon the move
ment Of merchandise. Bumper crops
are reported in Honan. Shensi, and
kansu.
At the conference Feng- Yu-hsiang
reiterated his allegiance 20 the WI

tive Committee He stated that he

what the present comparative figures
show.
Jap Proposals Favor Britain.
Guessing at what Japan means,
American experts computed that, if
the Japanese proposal were adopted,
It would give the Japanese a ratio in
auxiliary ships and submarines of APP
proximately 81 to the United States
five, while the British ratio would be
still even higher than that Of the
United States.
Failure Is Seen.
If Great Britain should insist upon
serious consideration Of her proposals
in toto it is believed here that it would
be necessary to defer action for sew
eral years until France and italy can
be brought into new conference TO
reconsider the problems Of the Wash
ington treaty.
There is no plenary conference
scheduled for today and the delegates
are meeting informally to decide upon
methods of procedure.

SHANSl GOVERNOR TO JOIN FENG IN
NATIONALISTS' DRIVE ON WAR LORDS

The China Courier, a Sino-Ameri-
can newspaper here has carried an
expose of the brothels, and has pub
lished many protests from the Chi
nese against the brothels, without
any denial coming from any quarter,
including the North China Daily
News, the official British organ in
Shanghai, whose silence on this seri-
Gus charge is sufficient comment
on Locker-Lampson's denial uttered
thousands Of miles away in London.
(The official denial referred to in
the foregoing despatch is based on
a mis-statement Of the name Of the
city whore the Objectionable houses
were established. The labor member
who made the charge in the House of
Commons said the brothels were in
Marking instead Of in Shanghai. Of
course denial is technically correct:
the brothels are not in Nanking)

Rumor Alliance with Chang


the brothels are not in Nanking)
Rumor Alliance with Chang.
SHANGHAI, June 21.-Aceording
to persistent rumors circulated here
the Nationalist Government at Han
kow may form a temporary military
alliance with Chang Kai-shek in or
der to hasten the capture Of Peking
and the humiliation Of northern war
lords.
From the Nationalist point of view
the alliance is merely a temporary
makeshift to hasten the liberation Of
China from native militarism and
foreign Imperialism. Nationalist lead
ers have not forgotten Chang Kai-
shek's betrayal of the Kuomintang
and his barbaric campaign against
labor and peasants unions.
No Way Out for Chang.
For Chang Kai-shek there is no
way out Of the alliance except inn
mediate humiliation. Burdened with
financial difficulties, facing the de-
termined opposition Of the workers
and peasants thruout the Yangtse
valley and revolts among his troops
his only hope Of survival@-for the
time being-is an alliance with the
Nationalist who have been rapidly
sweeping north and gaining even
wider support among the Chinese
masses.
Reports from Canton received here
in the last few days indicated that
Chiang's position was even more pre-
carious than had been previously sus-
pected. Two regiments in Fukien
openly revolted against Chang and
declared their unqualified allegiance
to the Nationalist Government. Spor-
adic revolts against Chang are break
ing out among the peasantry, while
in the streets of Canton workers are
openly demonstrating against the
government.
Chang Losing Support.
The alliance which Chang contem-
plated for a time with Chang Tso-
lin and other northern war lords
would have meant Chiang's immediate
humiliation as a factor in the Chi
nese situation. Close observers Of
the situation state that an immediate
and widespread revolt would have
broken out among Chiang's troops,
and that Chang would have even lost
the support Of the large native mer-
chants and industrialists who are the
backbone of such strength as he pos
sesses.
General Feng Yu-hsiang who is
commanding the Nationalist drive
against Peking is reported to have
left for Sooehow for the purpose of
comforting with Chang Kai-shek.
