"The Alliance was in the first place proposed by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the China United Chamber of Commerce, the Banking Association, Exchange Shop Association, and, various other public and social bodies," said Mr. Chu..

“Our main purpose is to stop civil war in time of nationa) dis- tress. We should unite to one common end."

Asked if he anticipated establishing a branch in Canton, Mr. Chu replied in the negative, and added that it was his duty to medi- ate for settlement of civil strife, and nothing else.

The Governor-General had re quested an apology for the "de- liberate discourtesy" to which he alleged he was subjected by two members of Mr. De Valera's Gov. ernment who withdrew when he arrived at a social function given by the French Minister in Dublin. Mr. De Valera replied with a letter marked personal, and, therefore, the Governor-General did not issue it with the other correspondence...
