THREE CONCLUSIONS REACHED.

Nanking, July 13.

It is understood that the Central Executive Committee to- day will discuss the views submitted by a number of Govern- ment and other leaders who have been holding informal ex- change of opinion during the week-end regarding a solution of the crisis between Nanking and the Southwest, They include Sun Fo, Feng Yu-hslang, Wang Chung-hal, Hșa Chung-chl, Tang Shao-yi and Li Lieh-chun.

له

It is generally believed that the C.E.C. will be asked to en- dorse the following three conclusions: firstly, that an effort must be made to bring about a common national policy regard- ing foreign affairs; secondly, there must be a unified government for the whole country; thirdly, there must be a unified command of the nation's armed forces.

If these conclusions are adopted. the Southwest authorities will be asked to subscribe thereto; talling which the Central Government may be empowered to take what- ever steps may be deemed neces-

After over half an hour's inter- val for the performance of such rites, the procession continued and reached Taumantong at about two o'clock. The body of the late KAYAU MURDER Sary

leader was finally laid down at

the spot where it was to be in- terred at some future date.
