NANKING'S BETTER UNDERSTANDING

WITH TOKYO.

According to Mr. C. T. Wang, the situation between Japan and the Nationalists has been greatly simplified by the last note from Nanking, and it is now expected that the settlement of the Tainan Incident and the revision of the Sino-Japaness Commercial Treaty will be carried through at the same time. It will however be remembered that messages from Tokyo have expressed doubts as to the sincerity of China, and for this reason the Japaness official reply has been delayed:

Chang Hauch Giang is withdrawing a large number of Northern troops from within the Great Wall to Manchuria, -a move which is taken to indicate his goodwill towards the Nation- alist Government. 10,000 of these troops are being sent up north to protect the Chinese Enstern Railway from attacks by Mongol troops. Both Japanese and Chinese authorities are keeping a close watch upon this threatened trouble, for it is believed that «the attacks are instigated by Borodin and other agents of 'the Third Internationale, while the situation is believed to be an indication of the growing power of the Soviet in Outer Mongolia.

The Chibli Shantung remnants are steadily coming over to the Nationalist side, and the Northern leaders are "going into retire- ment." Obefog has not yet yielded, but its communications with "· Hwanghaien are interrupted..
