ing himself" with the senate com

FOR UNITY OF
ALLCHINESE
that Japan menaces China and that
only the vanity of the southern gov
ernment prevented a Chinese unity,
Chang Tso-Lln today made another
appeal for peace In the Chinese
civil situation.
The appeal was made through a
statement of the northern govern
ment's foreign office.
The vanity of the Nanking gov
ernment and General Peng iru
Hslang's determination to fight, are
preventing a Chinese unity, the
statement said.
"The Japanese memorandum (on
a refusal to permit the Chinese civil
strife to extend to Manchuria) Is
fraught with far-reaching conse
quences," the foreign office appeal
said.
"While we are militarily prepared
to meet the southerners, authorities
here still hope that an enlightened
opinion may lead them to see the
futility of continuing a doubtful
campaign and only augmenting the
International difficulties."
Meanwhile, it was understood that
General Chang was preparing for a
decisive battle against General Feng
Yu Hslang at Faotingfu.
