“CHINESE EVACUATION OF HONGKEW

CONTINUES APACE

(From A Special Correspondent)

Canton, To-day. ·

Rumours are current with regard to the peace and war ques- tions during the coming Sino-Japanese negotiations; and with the re-erection by the Japanese of barbed-wire barricades and thei installation of military telephones at Shanghai, the number of Chinese who have evacuated from Hongkew and Chapei to the French Concession has been greatly increased. Martial law has been declared in Greater Shanghai and the Province of Kiangsu More British, American and French warships are stationed at Shanghai, and the tense situation of 1932 has reappeared. The Chinese Government is doing its best to stop the rumours and calm the people.

The Japanese envoy. Mr. Kawashima, left Nanking for Shang- hai yesterday afternoon, and he will return to Japan on Saturday. The date of the fourth meeting between Messrs. Chang Chun and Kawagoe has not yet been fixed. The latter arranged to visit the Generalissimo this afternoon instead of yesterday afternoon, as previously reported. It is definitely learned that the Generalis simo will not discuss Sino-Japanese problems with Mr. Kawagoe.

Charging Germany and Pòrtngal with a series of violations of the non-intervention pact concerning Spain, the Soviet has in- formed the London committee that the Soviet will consider with- drawing from the pact if immediate, measures are not taken to prevent further violation of it

The communique cites the instances of violation of the pact given by the Spanish Foreign Minister at Geneva, mentioning inter alia that since the beginning of the rebellion the Portuguese frontier districts have been used as a rebel base and a source of ammunition; that 12 big German aeroplanes arrived at Tetuan on September 20 and were transported to the rebel troops at Seville, where 14 other dismantled German planes arrived from Hamburg via Portugal on September 7; and that the Spanish Government received on September 29 a report concerning the transport of poison gases and munitions of Italian origin to the
