PROTEST ID GE7 l LITTLE ATTENTION
ISaIe Conduct Not Granted to
 Mukden Troops

ss Shanghai. June II R,-It was ,,s bought here that the diplomats \ protest regarding the nationalist Hfailure to grant safe conduct to < Nukden troops eyacuating Peking s would receive only scant attention. t& General Chiang Kai-Shek has re- ,.Signed as commander-in-ch chief of the
 nationalist armies and chairman of ~ he nationalist military council Feng
 Hu Hsiang. the action of whose 'Fsforces brought the protest, was to- &day regarded as the dominating fig Eure in China. His nominee, C. T. NWang, was expected to become na- &tionalist foreign minister. He stated Afhat he would pursue a strong at 5fitude" toward foreigners. and in
 kiew of fhis it was predicted that
 little attention would be paid 10 the
 note of the diplomats, It was also held that the Nanking government
 was powerless to discipline Fenc.
 This lack of authority and the lnbroSlio into which Feng's soldiers plunged the nationalists was regard E cd as having brought about Chiang kai-Shek's resignation. Intrgues among the leaders Of victorious South China were also thought to i have discouraged him.
 Chiang in a statement issued at , Ranking said thM he regarded the
 military phase of the revolution
 he nationalist movement-as com
 pleted and therefore saw no need of ! his continuing the post of comman- ! der in chief.
 Associates of Chiang in Shanghai s said that he now planned 10 devote a all his attention to reconstruction.

Excitement reigned for a few minutes when the report spread that one child had not been taken out Of one Of the tenements. but after & search if was learned that the little one was safely in the crowd Of spectators.
