This does not necessarily mean that all the nations which parti- cipated in the exhibition this year will reopen their pavilions. The 60 delegates representing the 23 nations who are members of the International Exhibitions Commit- tee merely had to decide whether, under the Exhibitions Convention of 1928, France had the right to reopen the Paris show.
After considerable discussion the delegates put the matter into the hands of a juridical committee un- der M. "Politis, Greek Minister in Paris.
When the views of this committee had been heard a secret ballot was taken. Seventeen votes were cast in favour of granting the right to reopen, two against -and- two nations abstained from voting. Authorisation was thus granted by a majority of more than the two- thirds required.

It is variously reported here that General Mao Tse-tung, former Com- mander-in-Chief of the Chinese Red Army, has arrived in the Northern part of Shansi Province. where, according to Japanese re- ports, he is under orders from the Generalissimo to carry out certain military operations.
Actually, however, reports reach- the big industrialing here about the alleged activities of General Mao are contradictory. It can be safely said that some of them had been concocted in Japan- ese quarters with a view to in- fluencing Chinese public opinion.
