Every sovereign nation, the note atates, has the right to exclude and expel undesirable aliens. "Correspondents who deliberately ||write and circulate seditious and tibellous matters belong to this class of undesirable alions in view of the fact that their writings tend to unjustifiably bring about an ill-feeling between the Chinese people and foreign nationals and catrange foreign public opinion from China."

The note further states that at this moment, when the question of abolition of extraterritoriality Is all pending, the National Gov- ernment is constrained to seck the co-operation of the American | Minister to affect Mr. Abend's de-

portation.

Among other evidences against Abend, it was found, the note proceeds, that one of his mensages stated that not one single dollar had been spent to relieve the North-West Tamine by the Na- tional Government. This called forth denials by Dr. C. C. Wu, Chinese Minister at Washington, and the Nanking Famine Relief Commission.

Another message credited to | Abend, says the note, which prov- ed to be "entirely fulso," was the report published in New York Times on April 25 'stating that Fan Chen-wu with all his troops declared allegiance to Feng Yu- hsiang.
