TO
TOKIO, April 31 -(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) Tho
Chinese question Is Increasingly the
topic or the day In .Ianii. Visitors
leturnliig from I'eklu report that lu
teins! tbein is centered as 'much upon
what .lapau will do aa on what tho
revolutionists are accomplishing In
tho south, The refusal of Japan to
hand over the sale revenue surplus
lo Hie government of Yuan Shi Kal
and Hie exodus of frightened China
men from I'ekln are taken here as
evidences of the growing t eaten sea
and danger of the Chinese situation.
With Japanese officials constantly
voicing their Intention of non-interference
iu Chinese domestic affairs
tho opinion Is heard among repre
sentative Japanese and among well
Informed foreigners and even dlplo
mats that the movement against uan
Hal Kal has gone so far that there la
even a probability that he will be
unable to hold his office as president.
The political groups hostile to the
present Japanese government are not
Inactive. Takashl Kara, leader of the
Relyukui party, has recently severely
criticised the government's Chines
policy, believing It responsible for the
present estrangement between the
peoplo or Japan and Chiua. He
urged the lnitortance of cultivating
relations of utmost cordiality and mu
tual confidence between the two Na
tions and declared that Japan should
scrupulously abstain from any policy
or Interference with the Internal af
fslrs of her neighbor The opposition
leader concluded bis apeeeh by Insist
ing that the only way out of the
present problem of .Ispaa's reiaUearf
with china was for Premier Count
Okiiina and his fellow ministers to
act out of offbe The answer ef the
Koxiiuintnt to ibis is that It ha nn
