The Nationalist Government has replied to the identic Notes of the United States, Britain, Japan, France and Italy. They protest against the Nanking riots, but fail to agree to any of the Powers' demands. The reply proposed the appointment of an International Commission to revise the unequal treaties and to investigate the Nanking affair. Mr. Eugene Chen has dispatched five copies of the same Xote, to representatives of the Powers at Hankow, in which he refuses to admit responsibilitj' of the Nationalists for the attacks on foreign citizens and Consulates at Nankin". He further has called attention, in the replies to Britain and the United States to the bombardment "of defenceless Nanking."
In replies to Britain and Franco he also refers to the bombardment "of defenceless Shameen," but the reply to Japan is more .conciliatory.
