Firm Attitude

Shanghal, September 15

An extremely tense situation has developed at Pakhol for which place it is reported four Japanese warships are rushing. The outlook is viewed with grave concern as General Oong Chao- ehuan, commander of the 19th Army Division, occupying the from seaport, has refused to evacuate despite persuasion both Generals Chiang Kai-shek and 11 Tspag-jen.

Owing to the gravity of the situation the Chinese investiga- tor Ling Shih-feng, secretary to Dr. Philip Tyan, Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, in Kwangtung and Kwangsi, has been un. able to land.

NATIONAL ECONOMIC

COMMISSION

Canton, Sept. 15.

It is reported that the National Economic Commission's Kwang- tung Branch will be inaugurated to-morrow. and that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has been asked to preside at the ceremony to be

be reckoned as one of the most brilliant of the new series.

Investigators

Oong has warned them that they will not be welcomed.

Sensational reports of specula- tors in Hong Kong state that when the four Japanese warships arrive at Pakhol they will land by force and start an investigation into the alleged murder of Naka-

00.

The Chinese mess learns that General Pel, Chung-hs will be de- finitely leaving on an investiga- tion trip abroad next month. It is stated that he will be accom- panied by high officials of his

army.--

PRESS APPEAL

Shanghal, Sept. 15. An earnest appeal to the Japan- ese authorities to exercise for bearance over the Pakhol incident and place full confidence in the Chinese Government handling the matter in order to prevent aggra- vation is voiced by the "Ta Kups Pao" in a leading article.

to

The situation it Pathol is dif- terent from that at Chengtu which is a much simpler one, says the Journal, adding the fact that even Chinese omcials despatched Pakhoi to investigate the incident were denied entry by the 19th Route Army was sufficient to show the complicated nature of the situation.
