Again Today

Fourteen treaty consuls-general and consuls, including Mr. A. H. George, British Consul-General; Mr. Richard Butrick, Acting American Consul-General; Mr. P. Auge, Consul-General for France; and Mr. Y. Miura, Japanese Consul-General are expected to attend the adjourned meeting in Council Chambers at 3.30 p.m. today of the local Consular Body.

The meeting was convoked at the request of Mr. W. J. Keswick, chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Council who appealed to the Consular Body for its assistance to check the recent wave of terrorism in the Settlement.

It is understood that at the first session of the conference last week of the doyens of the Consular Body, no decision was reached or measures devised to terminate the reign of lawlessness here. The talks, which "were confined to preliminary matters, are expected to resolve into some definite decision today and bring relief to a city wearied of crime.
