Friday, that the association was
in need of a state director and
that such a dirertor could be paid
for from the profits of a proposed

but the suggestion, was not acted
upon.
Gary, the new executive, de
clared himself as being decidedly
in favor of a state football cham

for operating costs than Is bow
available from the- proceeds of the

optimistic concerning the pros

SHANGHAI. Dec. 28. (AP)
Despite the fact that several for
eign governments have given only
partial consent, the nationalist
government took action tonight to
end-11 January 1 the extraterritor
iality rights of other nations in
China.
In thus seeking to abrogate the
right of foreign countries to have
their nationals in China tried in
courts administered by their own
countrymen, the Chinese govern-,
ment says that it is an attribute
of its sovereignty that foreigners
as well as Chinese shall be amen
able to the Jurisdiction of the na
tive courts.
A mandate issued by the state
council at the instigation of the
nationalist government's central
political council says:
"For more than eighty years
China has been bound by an ex
traterritorial system which pre
vented the sino government ex
ercising Judicial power oVer for
elgners in China. So long as ex
traterritoriality is not abolished,
that long China is nnable to exer
cise fall sovereignty.
"For the purpose of restoring
her Jurisdictional sovereignty, It
Is hereby declared that on and
after January 1, 1930, all foreign
nationals in China now enjoying
extraterritoriality shall be subject
to Chinese jurisdiction."

Great Britain is expected to main
tain its declaration in the note
sent to China last summer to the
effect that extra territoriality Is
a subject to be disposed of by ne
gotiations between China and the
powers. In this its attitude Is
seen as similar to that of Ameri
ca with regard to the recent an
nouncement that China would
abolish extraterritoriality on Jan
uary 1.
It is taken for granted here
that actual abolition cannot, be
cause of the intricacies of the pro
blem, be anything but a slow pro
cess. The critical coming week In In
dian affairs has overshadowed
the Chinese situation in the pub-
lie mind here.
