Shanghal, Mar. 23,

1.45 p.m.

Up to noon to-day, the foreign authorities had not been able to get in touch with Pal Ching-ahl, ut expect to do so soon, as he has taken up his quarters a few yards from the French border.

He is a moderate Nationalist

and close friend of Chiang Kai- shek. He is believed to be very anti-"Red", and much opposed to extremism of any kind. So, how- ever, are the Nationalist moder- ates at Hankow, and it remains to be seen whether he will succeed in controlling the Left wing where the former failed. Moreover, the temptation to use the terrorist methods which the "Reds" favour is almost irresistible, so effective and successful have they hitherto proved at Shanghai and up the Yangisze.--Reuter.
