The Student Strike Subsiding

Several of the students who were injured in the recent fracas have. not yet recovered. They are, however, mending well.

The Kiangsu Provincial Assembly, in an open letter, has condemned General Lu for the attack on *he students and the proclamation of martial law in Shanghai.

Nine bodies have sent a joint telegram to Peking, saying that "the papers have been reporting these few days that the Japanese Minister has been trying to get your consent to negotiate directly for the return of Shantung. Up to the present the Government has given us no definite assurances xerpt a statement that we are taking care.' This statement is a very vague one without anything definite. Should you decide to negotiate directly you will anta. ganize all the citizens throughout the centry.... So please state definitely what your policy is to be.""

Desnite the statement issued by the National Students' Federation and the Shanghai Students' Union that students would resume their class study on May 10. some of the students will actually start on Monday. The whole trouble' seems now to have subsided.
