Anxiety is increasing regarding North China and the Japanese Government is reported to be sending 2,000 more troops to Peking and Tientsin to protect foreign life and property.
According to Peking opinion the British Government has adopt- ed the attitude that it is doing more than its fair share in the de- fence of Shanghai and the other Powers must take the lead in North China.
Comrade Borodin is reported to have returned to Hankow, and his reappearance is said to have led to a fresh outburst of Commun- ism. Trainloads of wounded continue to arrive from the Honan front.
