The Need for Peace

It was pointed out that the fall of the Anfuites should have marked the beginning of peace, but those chosen agents of Japan' had contracted ties with the so-called Constitutioualists, and the defeat of the former appears only to have incense ed the latter. The Cantones community in Peking openly support the President and Premier, and do not hesitate to voice their appreciation of the national danger, together with their conviction that the negotiations at' Shanghai through Tang Shao-yi are doomed to failure.

Finally, it is urged that the millions who are in the throes of famine, the situations at Urga and Hungchun, the shortage of funds, for which the Provinces are con: tinually appealing to Peking, and China's position at the forthcoming meeting of the League of Nation: all emphasize the necessity of immediate peace and patriotic unity with which the re-establishment of the Canton Government is incompatible.—Reuter.
