RECOGNITION OF
NANKINC LIKELY
Murder Regime Is Re-
garded de Jure by u. S.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The
state department is planning formal
recognition of the Marking regime
after the de jure recognition which
it accorded Marking thru the tariff
treaty signed June 25th, it was
rumored here. That the tariff treaty
means virtual recognition of the
Marking government was admitted
by the State Department yesterday.
In the meantime the United States
continues to maintain a large force
of warships in Chinese waters.
Formal recognition of the Nank-
ing government is expected to occur
IN view of the policies which that
government has been pursuing. Its
attitude toward the Soviet Union
and the efforts which it is making
to crush the struggles of radical
workers and peasants, have met with
the approval of the State Depart
ment. The government has also
showed itself markedly friendly
to the United States.
