Chang Hauch Liang, leader of the Young Party, is eager to hand over the three eastern provinces to the Nationalist authorities. In spite of opposition, the Young General has sent representatives to Tientain to open negotiations.

The chief disadvantage, the writer points out, is that the transference will mean a less close control of the northern boun- darica, Manchuria and Outer Mongolia, in which Japan and the Soviet respectively hold a very wide influence.
