Peiping. Nov. 27.

Chinese circles here welcome Nanking's attempt to counter- act the autonomy moves of the enemies of the National Government with the appointment of supposedly strong and unquestionably loyal officials to key posts in North China, though they doubt whether General Yin Ju-keng's arrest will ever be carried out. It is reported that the autonomy move- ment's chief has gone to Tangshan.

Furthermore, the report that General Ho Ying-ching, named Nanking High Administrative Commissioner for Peiping yesterday, would not come to the old capital for at least a fortnight, induces considerable pessimism. It is felt that the problem here is a pressing one and that Japanese military leaders may not be willing to wait overlong for the outcome of the conversations between General Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese Ambassador, Mr. A. Ariyoshi.

General Yen Hsi-shan, Pacification Commissioner of Shansi Province, one of the "Big Five" of North China, has arrived at Taiyuanfu. It is recalled that when the Japanese leader, General Doihara, was here last week, the Japanese military spokesman stated he would probably visit General Yen on his return from Nanking. Observers are interestedly watching whether General Doihara will go to Shanel. Japanese troops arrived here yenler, j = 472 day afternoon and have been quartered outside the Legation quarter, and it

SIR SAMUEL

SAMUEL HOARE BACKS LEAGUE

HOPE FOR PEACE LIES

WITH GENEVA

London. Nov. 26.

Speaking to-night at a dinner of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, at which the Prince of Wales was pro- sent, the Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, said the great new feature which had been projected on the traditional back-. ground of British foreign policy was the League of Nations,

Some people had been surprised at the eagerness with which British opinion had rallied to the support of the Lengue, but a people whose policy was based on a profound instinct for peace could hardly fail to be attracted to an organisation de signed to abolish war and remove its causes. A country ac- customed to exercise a certain moderation of statement and outlook must inevitably support procedure under which, Nations pledge themselves to abstain from extreme courses In their mutual relations,d

Finally, he said, people accustomed to face big issues must welcome and support an institution not only inspiring in its. conception, but one which, with adequate support, was capable of dealing with so many of the world's maladies.

Sir Samuel went on to speak of the need for a strong and living League of Nations, and warned his audience against the inevitable tendency to consider the position, of the League solely in relation to some immediate problem. The League, he said, had two functions.

The first is to prevent war by removing the underlying causes which lead to war. The second function: comes into play when war has broken out," he added..

"There can surely be no doubt | which function is the constructive one, orto-which-the-efforts of statesmen should be directed,

"We must novor lose sight of the fact that the, future of the League, the future upon which, the hope of all those who believe in it

living embodiment of their ideals are so ardently set, depends upon its ability to perform the con structive and statesmanlike part of Its task and upon the readiness of it. work
