THE "DOUBLE TENTH" CELEBRATIONS. NEW EMPEROR OF

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES. IN SHANGHAI

CHANG HSUEH LIANG'S PRAISE OF PEI CHUNG HSI

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE TO TARIFF

REVISION.

Preparations are being made throughout China for the cele bration of the "Double Tenth Festival, the anniversary of the foundation of the Republic and the birthday of Confucius, with great pomp. In Nanking there will bo serial and military displays as well as public lectures throughout the three days which have been set apart for the observance of the festival, while the town is daily decorated and flags are flying on every building. In Shanghai it has, been arranged to hold a special memorial service on the Public Athletic Ground in memory of past revolutionary leaders. As a precaution the Chinese Authorities have declared martial law as from midnight on October 9th.

It is thought that Japan will adopt a very conciliatory attitude when negotiations oa outstanding questions are opened with China. In the question of tariff revision, Japan will be prepared to accept a graduated scale if the Nationalists are able to guarantee that the increased revenue from this source will be put to good use, and if the question of Japan's unsecured loans to China can be settled satisfactorily. The matter of treaty revision will be dealt with later.

note to the General Chang Hsueh Liang, has addressed Nationalist Government praising Genera; Pei Chung Hsi for the way in which he conducted the operations against the Chihli- Shantung forces and giving to him all the credit for the success of the campaign. He greatly regrets that General Pei should be returning to Hankow, and asks that he should be retained in the north, where his presence is urgently needed, especially in view of the fact that Yen Hai Shan is still indisposed.
