Nanking, July 13.
It is understood that the Central Executive Committee to- day will discuss the views submitted by a number of Govern- ment and other leaders who have been holding informal ex- change of opinion during the week-end regarding a solution of the crisis between Nanking and the Southwest, They include Sun Fo, Feng Yu-hslang, Wang Chung-hal, Hșa Chung-chl, Tang Shao-yi and Li Lieh-chun.

It is generally believed that the C.E.C. will be asked to en- dorse the following three conclusions: firstly, that an effort must be made to bring about a common national policy regard- ing foreign affairs; secondly, there must be a unified government for the whole country; thirdly, there must be a unified command of the nation's armed forces.
If these conclusions are adopted. the Southwest authorities will be asked to subscribe thereto; talling which the Central Government may be empowered to take what- ever steps may be deemed neces-
After over half an hour's inter- val for the performance of such rites, the procession continued and reached Taumantong at about two o'clock. The body of the late KAYAU MURDER Sary
