Peking, May 18. Perhaps the deadlock at Shang- hai is. not real as its appearance would suggest, inasmuch as the delegates have not yet left the
Settlement. The firmness of the Government in resisting the eight demands of the Southera delega- tion and the inclination in Canton to impeach Tang Shao-yi for his hindering methods suggest moves in the political game. The whole 0 business is theatrical and unreal, 2 and it would be unwise to assume 0 that a deadlock has actually "oc
curred. It suggests a demonstra- tion intended to impress the people with the difficulties of the pro- 2blem submitted to the conference

for solution. None of the tu- chuns are financially in a posi- tion to resume hostilities with any prospect of success. Hence the report of a rapprochement between the Northern and south- era militarists. Hence the con- siderateness of the Government not to wage war even if provoked by the South. At any rate, people are not so pessimistic over the 2 outlook as they ought to be. It is generally believed that the theatrical events have been arranged and that Tuchun Li Chun at Nanking will come on the stage at the prompter's call arid mediate between the parties.
