Assemblies has telegraphed to the local Military Governor, Gen. Ho Feng-ling, urging him to warn Gen. Li Yuan-hung to leave Shanghai forthwith in order that trouble may be avoided. Shanghai, the writers declare, is the most important—commercial centre of China and must, be -protected at all costs. "We, being responsible officers, do not wish to see Shanghai suffer. Shanghai, as we say, is a commercial centre, and not a ground for political intrigue or for setting up a new government. The Chekiang-Kiangsu peace treaty has just been signed, but Li's coming to Shanghai is a distinct breach of the treaty and an open challenge to the will of the people of these two provinces, whose one desire is to attain peace. Shanghai must not be allowed to be involved in political affairs, hence in order to maintain your good reputation and honour and in order that you will be acting in accordance with your principles we would urge you to send Li Yuan-hung away from Shanghai as he is non persona grata,"
Gen. Li Yuan-hung has, we are reliably informed, drawn up his manifesto, but this will not be circulated just yet. Meanwhile, he has decided to remain quiet.
The National Students' Federation has circulated a telegram denouncing Gyn, Li Yuan-hung and opposing his resumption of the Presidency. The students enumerate the former President's crimes and mention the different parties who are alleged to have been responsible for bringing Li to Shanghai.
