NANKING NOTE.

CHEN'S CHARACTERISTIC QUIBBLING.

PRESS COMMENT.

(TUROTON RECTER'A AGENCY,]

HANKOW, April 14th. The Consuls of the Ave Powers. concerned in the Nanking Note (Britain, America, Franca, Japan and Italy) have received replies to the Note from Mr. Eugaas Chen, Acting Foreign Affairs Minister for the Kuomintang.

The chief point in the replies is the proposal for an International Commission to investigate the "in- cideat.""

The replies to Britain and Americs speak of "the bombard ment of defenceless Nasking" and the replies to Britain and France mention the bombardment of de- fenceless Shamees," this apparently referring to the shootings of June, 1925.

lo all other respects the replies are identical, and they remark that such incidents as Nanking will occur so long as unequal treaties exist, and propose a Commission to revise them.

French Comment,

PARIs, April jeth.·' French opinion considers that Mr. Eugene Chen's reply is quite satisfactory. It points out that his maneuvre to try to divide the Powers by separate replies is too transparent, and Nationalist miscos duct is too glaring for such an at- tempt to succeed. It declares that if only the Powers stand firm, the reaction against the Communists in China will strengthen, but if it gives way an inch the plotters in Moscow sad Hankow will breathe again United proposals are recommended as a sequel to the Powers united
