Mr. Francis Zia and Foreign

INTERFERENCE, To the Editor of the "NonrH-Caiwa Day New:

Sir—A press report states. that! "Zour of the most prominent Amer-tean and British journalists Shanghai visited General Li-Pao-Chang at the Yamen, and inquired 'a5 to the charges against Mr, Zia." Now, what I would like to know is why these ultra officious journalists should meddle in matters of Chinese. Military Administration, especially when it concerns one' of their (Chinese) own soil.

What would we think of a deputation of Chinese journalists proceeding to the British Supreme Court making pertinent inquiries about, say, Mr. L. K, Kentwell's arrest for the old-steam-roller from the North for she has already had experience with those rollers before which have a happy knack of not being able to got up steam fat the critical moment."

So much for "The Waichiaopu.'

One must agree with Dr. Alfred JSze's demand for "a more explicit statement" from Washington; let them simplify it for all, then probably Americans as well in Chins }will be able to understand it also.
