PICKARD EVELOPMENTS of the week In China were in the direction of a possible declaration of war on the Pe- king government by Soviet Russia, which action might well be followed been giving the northern warfare. Marshal Chang Tso-lin, the Manchu- rian boss in the north, learned of a plot to start a radical demonstration in Peking, so he obtained from Dutch minister, dean of the diplo- search legation occupied all the the Russian buildings in quarter. Police and the buildings and nonofficial occupants thorough search of the premises re- vealed a mass of documents, said to be incriminating, and a quantity of guns and ammunition. The Peking au thorities declared the buildings were the headquarters of the Kuomintang political commission, the local branch of the radical party, and the execu tive committee of the Third Interna- tionale, and that the seizure had averted serious uprisings in Peking which would have affected foreigners, “The menace at Peking Is removed, sald Marshal Chang in a message to hig generals. “The trouble-makers’ of- fense is unpardonable. They will he dealt with according to their deserts.” Which was assumed to mean that they would be summarily executed. Moscow's official opinion of Chang's coup has not been made public at this writing, but the indignation in the Soviet capital was extreme. The Rus- sian consul general at Shanghai said the raid was contrary to the long established international law of ecivi- lized countries and is “particularly dangerous in China owing to the fact that Marshal Chang is likely shortly to be ousted by the Cantonese, who may not be friendly toward certain other forelgn ministries’ accredited to the Peking government." Two American journalists, Mrs. Mil- dred B. Mitchell of San Francisco and Wilbur Burton of Columbus, Ohlo, were arrested in Peking and transport- ed to Tientsin because they were em- ployed by organizations favorable to the Nationalists, In Changsha, Kiukiang and Amoy anti-American feeling was rife and led to strikes and boycotts. Our con- sular officials In several places closed their offices and prepared to leave. Meanwhile every effort was made to complete the evacuation of American civilians, and this movement was ex- tended to northern China, the plan being ‘to concentrate the Americans there In Tientsin, whence their re- moval would be comparatively easy. The Japanese concession in Hankow wig attacked several times last week by mobs of natives. Japanese marines were landed and all Japanese families were taken aboard warships, but Ja- pan refused to withdraw from the con: cession, The radical faction of the national ists is growing stronger dally and it was reported that Its committee In Hankow had dismissed Chiang Kal- shek, the Cantonese commander in chief. In Shanghal the hope wes held that Chiang would refuse to be ousted and would form a moderate party. Later dispatches said Chiang had ob- tained from the Chinese Bankers’ as- soclatien a loan of $3,000,000 to finance the campalgn in the north against Marshal Chang Tso-lin. The loam was negotiated by the national fst finance minister, T. V. Soong. The Shanghal vernacular papers sald Chiang was defying the orders of the Hankow executlve committee and might shortly declare himself dicta. tor, with the financial backing of the Shanghal native merchants and bank- ers, who fear the domination of the radicals. The United States and Japan are still resisting the British plans for a program of active intervention be- cause of the Nanking outrages, and have been formulating instead mere demands for apology and reparations. President Coolidge and hig cabinet dis- cussed the situation thoroughly and sent to Minister MacMurray an out- line of the American demands, It was believed In Washington that 1.500 more marines would be sent to China within a few days. The British gov ernment, as was predicted, de- cided to act siggly, If necessary, in obtaining Indemnity from the Canton ese and has started large military re inforcements from England the way to Shanghal. has on RESIDENTIAL politics was at the fore last week. For thing, Senator Moses of New Hampshire as- one serted positively that Mr. Coolidge there is no reason to believe that he is in the President's confidence.

On the Democratic side the feeling that Gov. Al Smith would be the par ty's best bet seemed to be growing stronger. Senator Glass of Virginia helped this along in a measure by a public declaration that of course a Catholic could be elected, but he added the assertion that If Smith | wanted the support of delegates from the South he must “let the pro hibition issue alone.” This was taken to be a fair warning from the south- ern leaders that they will not make religious intolerance an issue but that they will stand firm In the matter of prohibition. Governor Smith's reply to this, as well as his answer to the Atlantic Monthly article asking him to define his future allegiance on re- ligion and government, Is awaited with great interest RESIDENT COOLIDGE put a stop- per on the Philippine independ- ence movement by vetoing the act of the island legislature providing for o plebiscite on the subject. In a letter to Governor General Wood he asserted that quite aside from economic or po litical reasons the veto was justifiable on the grounds that Presidential ap proval might be interpreted as an ex- pression of the American people fa- voring immediate independence of the Philippine fslands; that the act makes no provision for canvassing all the racial groups in the islands, and that under such conditions the result of the proposed referendum might create friction and would be unconvincing. The letter stated that the agitation for independence is largely based on the misapprehension that the United States, even though granting full in- dependence, would still assume “the heavy responsibility of guaranteeing the security, sovereignty and independ. ence of the islands.” “In my opinion” writes the Presi dent, “this is wholly erroneous.” Ou of the most virulent campaign that Chicago has ever enjoyed, William Hale Thompson emerged vie- tor, being elected mayor on, the Re. publican ticket with a plurality of 88.072 over. Mayor W. E. Dever, Demo- erat. The result was largely due to the heavy vote cast by the negro pop. ulation of the city and by those who favor a liberal policy In the enforce. ment of the prohibition laws. There must have been some such reasons, for Thompeon's two previous administra. tions offered few arguments in his favor, and his self-made eampnaign issues were of such ludicrous stuff ns “America First” and abusive attacks League of Nations, ALE and Hungary, through Pre miers Mussolini and Count Bethlen, signed last week a treaty which de clares “there shall be constant peace and perpetual friendship” between the two kingdoms.
