General Chiang Kai-shek has issued an ultimatum calling upon the Hunkow Government to dismiss twenty Soviet advisers, close all Labour Unions and disband Communist propaganda organisations. The Communist authorities at Wuhan have convoked a conference to consider this ultimatum.

While the threatened strike by the Foochow Servants' Union of domestics employed by British and Japanese residents has not mater- ialised, an anti-Japanese demonstration was carried out on Satur "day. The foreign quarter was strongly guarded by Marines and the procession was not allowed to cross the river.
