AGITATION AT PEKIN
VIRTUAL PROTECTORATE SHANGHAI, 19th May. ' Japan's apparent 'determination to intervene in the civil war in China is creating considerable" agitation, in' foreign diplomatic circles at Pekin. The Japanese statement was presented simultaneously to the three antiNorthern leaders—Feng Yu-Hsiang. Chiang Kai-Shek, and Yen Shi-Hsan Governor of Shansi—declaring a determination to preserve Manchuria .from the ravages of war. The statement virtually asserts a determination to, establish a protectorate in Manchuria, possibly immediately. Japan is evidently willing to permit Chang Tso-lin's armies to withdraw into Manchuria if disciplined, but will not permit the passage of a defeated, undisciplined rabble. It is understood that Japan has advised Chang Tso-lin to return to Manchuria immediately while -his armies are intact. The dictator refused flatly.
