LONDON, Oct." a.

His Majesty the King, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, the Prime Minister, Mr. Arthur Henderson, 'the Foreign Secretary, and Sir Austen Chamberlain, "are among the many eminent Europeans who

have paid tributes to the late Dr. Gustav Stresemann.

Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, in a brief message to Reuter's repre- sentative aboard the Berengaria, said he was moet grieved at the loss of a personal friend."

He could not believe that the great service Dr. Stresemann had given for the pacification of Europe with such patience and faith could be undone.

A message from Berlin says that with the exception of the Nation alint newspaper, the Deutsche Zeitung, which has always been bitterly opposed to his policy; all the newspapera admit that by the death of Dr. Stresemann, Germany has lost a patriot, who will be difficult to replace.

THE ATTACK ON DR. HU SHIH.

CONDEMNATION OF DR. HU'S ARTICLES.

STATE COUNCIL ASKED TO WARN WRITER.

The question of Dr. Hu Shih's" right to discuss the affairs of China and the Kuomintang still occupies

the attention of Nanking officials

At last week's meeting of the State Council, the following resolution was passed:

"We are in receipt of a peti- . tion from the Shanghai Party Headquarters' which has been re- ferred to us by the Standing Com mittee of the Central Party Elead- quarters to the effect:

We find that Hu Shih has ex- pressed misleading opinions re- cently, especially in the three articles: Rights of Man and a Provisional Constitution: When are we going to have a Constits- tion; Knowledge is Difficult, but Action is not so easy either, published in the "Crescent Moon" magasine.

He showed in these articies that he is totally unacquainted with the nature of the present society and that he has a very erroneous understanding of the ideology of our "party and the doctrine of our lender, He fur- thermore over-stepped the limit of discusion and indulged, in meaningless quibbling.

The ideology of our party is all embracing and it does not deny the right of members and others, to study and examine the principles of the party, as only in this way can they be better. understood and disseminated. But Hu Shih, although he is pre- sident of a university, has not only misinterpreted the ideology of our party, but he has also violated the limitations of scho- larly discussion by stooping to unwarranted attacks of a vicious character. Such an action is cer- tainly undignified on the part of a university president and has the evil effect of misleading such of our people who have not yet gained a firm belief in our prin- ciples

"This cannot pass uncorrected lest is should give encouragement to similar conduct.'

We therefore ask the State Council to instruct the Ministry of Education to warn Hu Shih of his highly undesirable conduct. We also suggest that the Ministry of Education instruct the pre- sidents of all universities to in- struct in turn professors and instructors under their charge to study carefully the ideology of our party, lest they should lend themselves to the dissemination of false interpretations.' "We, the State Council, hereby instruct the Executive Yuan to in- struct, in turn, the Ministry of Education to carry out this order of the Training Department of the Central Party Headquarters,"
