What appears to be the most i have a definite programme to which hopeful effort on the part of the the activities of the Fascisti will adhere. As there are so many pro citizens of Shanghai to get together bleus confronting us, some of and present a united front against which can be tackled immediately, the dangers that threaten this great while others pertain more to the city is to be found in the recent future, it might be as well to have. formation of what is known as the two programmes, one an immediate and minor programme, and the Shanghai Fascisti, writes Mr. A.

Programme. papers and discussions unongst individests, it was decided to start enrolling members, each of whom should be issued with a ticket as a certificate of membership and allow ing bin access to all general meet- ngs of the proposed organization. A very large number of such tickets were issued, and in due course a meeting was called. which took place on September 29th and was packed with enthusiastic members, į who decided to form an organiza- tion and elected a leader in the per- son of Mr. Bernard Firth.

Mr. Fessanden's Remarks. Subsequently, at a banquet given in his honour at the Shanghai Club. on the occasion of his birthday, and i relerence to a message sent him by the newly formed Shanghai Fascisti congratulating him and assuring tis of their loyal and wholehearted support, Mr. Stirling Fessenden passed a few remarks re- garding the new movement which appear to bave been misunderstood or misinterpreted by many of those who heard him. What Mr. Fessen- den aid in effect was that while such an organization properly run and controlled might do a lot of good he felt it his duty to warn them that if it got into the wrong hands it might do untold harm. The leaders would have to be ex- tremely careful to keep the move- ment in the proper hands and under proper control, and refrain from doing anything or allowing anything to be done that would embarrass the Council in the diff cult task of administering this polyglos community, or the repre sentatives of the home governments in their efferts to bring "about a settlement ci the satisfactory

various problems confronting us all to-day in China. The writer has since had it verified by Mr. Fessen- den himself that this is what he meant.

This is very different from set- ting his stamp of disapproval on the movement, which appears to be the way in which his remarks were interpreted by some of those who heard his speech...

in discussing the Shanghai Fascisti movement with non-mem- bers, the writer has invariably been asked what are its aims and what is it proposing to do: neither of which questione can be satisfactori ly answered because, as yet, as far as the writer can make out, the feeling that something has got to be done, that the time for talk is over and that for action is at hand," has not yet crystallized into any definite plan of action other than the formation of a party pledging itself to action and a thorough in vestigation of what that action shall be for the common good.

(1) To co-operate with the Chi- nese people as far as possible.. about (3) To bring

A united policy amongst all residents of Shanghal regardless of nationality."

(3) To extend the movement to "every treaty port in China, And, if necessary, to send delegates out, to explain the movement and its working. (4) To bring about a better work- ing of the judiciary system now in existence in Shang- bai.

(3) To insist on the proper ful filment of treaties and treaty obligations as regards Shang- hai, pending treaty revision. (e) To oppose with every avail

able means the imposition, of illegal taxes of any descrip- tion in Shanghai.

(7) To work for the elimination of armed robbers and kid. nappers.

(5) To insist on and assist in the maintenance of law and order in the Settlement.

(0) To assist the Shanghai Muni- cipal Council in every pos sible way in the administra- tion of the Settlement.

"E" Future And Major Programme. (1) To create reserve force in Shanghai of members of the Fascisti, pledged to turn out when eatled upon, strong enough to obviate the neces- sity of home governments sending troups for the protec tion of the Settlement time. of distárbance.
