1.—Joint search and control of terrorists in a thoroughgoing manner, 2.—Drastic control of anti-Japanese elements in the British Concession.
3—The liquidation of economic disturbances in North China, and British ce-operation in the economic policy of the new regime in North China.
4—The handing over of the $4!
