All the Arabs n Jaffa are on strike, and the boy- zott is causing havoc to Jéwish traders at Jerusalem. Demonstrations are taking place averywhere, but with frequent clashes by crowds with the police, who often are backed by troops. Wherever crowds gather, police or soldiery try to break them up and there are reports of firing by police on some occasions. of the jail. | A committee’ representing both [eee and Christian elements tried to intervene with the district com- missioner in protest at the brutal- ity, but got no satisfactory answer. The commissioner is an Englishman. At the Commission of Inquiry on the events of last summer, the {chairman of the commission, Sir | Thomas Shaw, shut out the evidence ‘of Jewish offenses against Arabs offered by an Englishman, Oswal Lees, who was—note the “was’— assistant to the Deputy District Comimissioner of Jerusalem at the The union took up seriously the clause of the Kuomintang program remaining from the time when it was to some degree following a line of revolutionary struggle, which said that superstition must be eradi- | cated and formally decided to take over the temple. The high priest of the temple raised a great howl when he heard of the decision and locked the temple gates. But the union men simply broke down the gates, drove out the monks, took the ancient idols which had been worshiped for centuries to the street where they smashed them to pieces and made a bonfire of them.

In spite of the police, thousands of workers stormed the police lines and oceupied the hall, barricaded it and prepared to defend their posi- tion against attack. The police, beeing unable»to dfs- lodge them alone without a battle which might have resulted in- their own defeat, called in firemen to break the windows and drench the whole build with water, prac- tically drowning out the worke: who though forced to evacuate, are organizing for a new counter- of- ‘om RDAY, NUVEMBEK 30, 1929 'Winchester, Arms Co.

One Russian returned to Harbin bearing the So- viet reply, which Stated that Russia desired a peaceful settlement, but considered negotiations impossible until the Chinese agreed to the con- ditions in the Soviet Government’s July 13 ultimatum—viz., reinstate- ment of the Russian manager and vice-manager of the Chinese East- ern Railway 4nd the release of So- viet prisoners in China. ; “The Harbin Chinese Commis- sioner informed Chang Hsueh-liang at Mukden of the Soviet attitude. Chang Hsueh-liang telegraphed Lit- vinoff at Moscow, accepting the So- viet conditions. “Litvinoff replied to Chang Hsueh- liang, recommending chat Mukden carry out the Soviet conditions im- mediately and further suggesting that Mukden send representatives to Hatbarovsk to confer with Soviet delegates concerning the time and place of the Sino-Soviet conference.” Nanking Denies Negotiations. It is stated from Shanghai that the Nanking officials reiused to talk f&bout the above report, But at Nan- king itself, dispatches state that GQ T. Wang, Nanking Moreign Minister, denied that the Mukden authorities kad moved for condiliation, saying that Moscow reports were ‘ groundless and never existed.” In addition, Wang deciared that Natiking was hanaithg the Manchu- ‘ian crisis “alone” (with the help, he should have added, of numerous American advisers) and that the Nanking consul in Berlin had handed the Soviec consul there Nanking’s “deman. which it must be noted make no vier whatever to meet or even discuss the Soviet conditions for settlement on seizure of the C. H. R., but only demanding a joint commission solely to “investigate border conditions” and that troops of “both sides” be withdrawn to at least 30 miles from the border, obvi- ously aimed only to apply to the Soviet troops, since the Ghinese have been forced back more than 30 miles already as punishment for continued invasions of Soviet soil. Rejection of these outrageous “de- mands,” Nanking’s note says, “will indicate that Russia entertains wat- like ambitions toward China,” and that Nanking “will be prepared to meet Soviet moves accordingly.” American Goyerninent Lies.
