The Government keeps a close watch on the local Chinese press. One fails, therefore, to understand why, with this Colony part of an Empire which recognises the Cen- tral Government as the..sole and lawful government of China, this Japanese paper should be allowed to publish an editorial saying that "the end of Chiang's day is not far-off." The editorial also states that under the Tokyo formula, Bri- tain has granted belligerent rights to Japan; this cannot be too strong- ly denied.

CLEVELAND
Cleveland, To-day.
At least 34 were injured in a 'battle between strikers and police here yesterday at the Fisher motor-body factory.
The clash followed an attempt to close the factory by members of the United Automobile Workers Union, which is affiliated with the Committee of Industrial Organisa- tion.
Tear gas, truncheons and brick- bats were used, and several cars carrying workers to the factory were overturned.
Later a truce was reached. Reuter.
