Asked why he left the country when the Fourth Kuomintang Plenary Conference was assembling in Napking, Mr. Wu declared that "the time for us to attend the Con-¡ ference lias passed already, and so it will not be necessary for us to attend.

Asked, his attitude toward ·Mar- shal Chiang Kai-shek, who is to lead the Northern expedition again, Mr. Wu hesitated to give any definite opiniou. "After all, wo are not. going against Chiang," he said, "which in the utmost we could do. We are not supporting him, how ever. Mr. Wu' believed that the Northern expedition would succeed and he wished it success.

When an announcement was made from the stage, at the Electric Palace Cinema, Oxford-street, on Dec. 30, that a fire had broken out In premises adjoining, It was thought 'advisable to clear the threatre, the audience of 600 peoplo quietly left the building. There was no panic.
