"If such public meetings and mass gatherings are truly actuated by patriotism and are orderly in every way, the Provincial Adminis tration will allow them to take place. Under no circumstance will the Government tolerate radical agitation and demonstration.”

Our representative then called the attention of the Foreign Commis sioner to a naval wireless of yester day, which stated that the Japanese in Canton have been instructed to move out of the city as e precau- tion. The Commissioner replied that the Provincial Administration had never issued such instructions 4 There is no reason why we should issue auch instructions," he added, as China has not declared war an Japan. Moreover," he said, the Provincial Government has been, and still is probecting all the Japanese residenta in Canton. No harm of any sort has been inflicted on Japanese nationals here," he said. “And if the Japanese are leaving Canton, they are doing so of their own will. If they chose to stay in Canton, they will continue to receive full protection from the Chinese Government," the Foreign Commissioner, concluded.
