At this conference important matters of China's domestic and foreign ad- ministration were discussed and decided, and there is much ground for believing that the participation of Mr. Huang Fu Chairman of the Felping Political Council, some time after it was called, had the effect of modifying considerably the slogan of prolonger resistance to Japan which had been adopted. There is, of course, no indication that the policy of Sino-Japanese direct negotiations OF that ot economic rapproachment between the two countries, in, which Mr. Huang Fu has always believed, was adopted at the conference, but it seems probable that the leaders of the Nanking Government realised that the continuance of the active resistance to Japan is Inimical not only to Chinese interests but to General Chiang Kai Shek's posi- tion in Chinese politics and that they concluded that nothing could be gained by pursuit of too undis-undergone three changes.
