The provincial officials have been ordered to arrest and punish any person or persons who create political unrest or turmoil by utilizing the "Shan- tung question as a lever for obtaining their political ends. It is persistently reported among the Chinese that the pro- posed direct negotiations will not be opened between Japan and China until: tha Government authorities have sup- prossed the students movements in the provinces. The students' organization is regarded as the strongest union opposing direct dealing between the two countries.
