(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT)
PEKING, JAN. 25.
PEACE POURPARLERS ARE BELIEVED TO BE A PROSPECT. DEEP INTEREST IS BEING CENTRED IN THE VISIT OF MARSHAL TUAN CHI-JUI TO NANKING, FOLLOWED BY MARSHAL CHANG HSUEH-LIANG'S AEROPLANE TRIP THIS WEEK TO THE CAPITAL, WHERE BOTH VISITORS HAVE BEEN IN CONFERENCE WITH GENERAL CHIANG KAI-SHEK.
The official explanation of these visits makes no reference to any peace feelers, but it is known that Japanese military officials had conversations with Mar shal Tuan before the former Anfu leader left lentsin for Nanking.
These conversations, coupled with Tuan Chi-jui's affiliations with the Japanese, which make him a likely. channel for any proposals regarding the opening of negotiations, first gave rise to hopes, which are now steadily gaining ground, despite official silence on the
matter.
