JAPAN INSISTS CHINESE TROOPS QUIT PEIPING

CONVEY THREAT Emergency

WITH WARNING

TIENTSIN MUST BE EVACUATED

ANOTHER "INCIDENT” MAY BE "CREATED"

Shanghai, May 31.

It is learned in most reliable quarters that Japan has demanded of China that she withdraw all troops from the Peiping and Tientsin areas.

However, it is not clear whether the Japanese Army in Kwangtung intends to enforce this demand or merely intends to use it as a threat to hasten compliance with the other "verbal” requirements communicated to China.

The other demands made of China are that various) Chinese political bodies be suppressed, and certain Chinese officials be dismissed. The cessation of anti- Japanese activities of all sorts in North China must also be enforced by China, Japan insists.

It is understood that Japanese | military leaders in presenting the demands referred to the possibility of

NATION FACING GRAVE FINANCIAL ISSUES

Paris, May 30. The Flandin Government has been defeated, and the Cabinet has resigned.

In spite of an impassioned appeal by the Prime Minister, who courageously faced the house in spite of the serious state of his health, the Radical Socialists turned against him. M. Flandin was asking for full powers to protect the franc, which was being attacked from within and without the country by those who hoped to force devaluation.

The Plenary Powers Bill was defeated by 353 to 202. Immediately after the vote was known, M. Flandin announced that the Government would resign. There is talk of the formation of a coalition Government.- Reuter.
