London, To-day. There will be little surprise if the World Evonomic Conference, to complete the work of Lau sanne and Ottawa is not held in November as intended, despite

The coincidence of a Presiden-

(From Our Own Correspondent),

Shanghai, To-day.

Considerable surprise has been expressed since it was reliably learned that the "bloody group" activities will cease for a fortnight.

Mystery surrounds this reported suspension. It is not known whether it is a voluntary act or or- dered by influential quarters.

Japanese authorities are not perturbed by the announcement that 70 Chinese guilds intend to start an economic blockade of Japanese business and consider the assurances of Mayor Wu a suf- ficient guarantee to regard the guilds' action as mere bluster. But if the Mayor fails to suppress the illegal activities, the Japanese reserve the right to review the situation.
