Shanghai, April 19-The belief that Sino-Japanese relations may be nearing a new crisis in general outburst of violence is possible was expressed widely, though unati- cially, today following Japan's new statement of Far Eastern foreign policy.
Japan does not claim any treaty rights to interfere in China, but since China shares with Japan the responsi- bility of maintaining peace, any actions likely to disturb peace must be opposed.

Her littleface was out moving.
The vision of a Japanese protec torate over China loomed before the eyes of politically-minded Chinesa as a result of the Tokyo official statement that Japan considers herself solely peace in the Far East and as asserts responsible for the maintenance of the right virtually to ensor China's foreign relations.
Silence Kept
The new Tokyo announcement failed
to bring an open outburst of resent mint as might, have been expected, however, as the National government being and the Chinese newspapers în preferred to remain silent for the time Shanghai, bound by the Nanking een- ship, did not refer to the mutter in
any way.
At Paiping the Tokyo: statement seemed to be interpreted by North China leaders as a direct challenge to the other powers paralleling the famous 21 demands of 1915, which caused a post-war stir in the United States.
Voicing the viewpoint of Chinese officials, the Peiping Chronicle stated editorially:

The chancellor atopped and gent- Her ly lifted the child in his arms. He placed her on the throne. little feet d'd not reach the floor but her royal manner had not left her. Oxenstierna turned, to the velvet crown lying on a black cushion on a pedestal and held it above Christina's head.
"Christina" he said. "I swore to my King, your father, to place this crown upon your head and now I swear by my life to serve you as I served him."",
Two of the nobles approached from either side and held the crown, which was too big for the child above her head, as the Chan cellor bent before her, dropping to his knees. He took the tiny hand which she held out to him, and kissed it,
"Yes, my King," he said. "Lift me, please."
It was her first command. Again he took her in his arms, lifted her and placed her on the Bloor. Once more she walked with dignity down the long hall through the living lane which her ioyal sub- jects made for her. She did not look to the right or left, as all the gathering bowed at her passing. Her eyes were on Aage, standing by the door.
When she reached him, she said no word but there was a question in her eyes. He knew what it was and he knew the answer.

The Chinese purchases of American high powered long range air bombers are known to be particularly irksome to the Japanese. Capt. Frank Hawks' arrival here last month with a huge 82-foot craft capable of carrying tous of explosives, great distances caused
