CHEN'S REPLY.
QUITE INADEQUATE. Prevaricatory Measure to Create Disunity. ENFORCING DEMANDS. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, April 1/. A message received in Paris from Peking says the Ministers of the five Powers have considered Mr. Chen's reply to the protests in regard to the Nanking affair. They have agreed to make unanimous representations to their Governments that the reply is inadequate and merely a prevaricatory manoeuvre calculated to weaken the demands of the Powers and create disunity. They consider also that the reply confuses the question of reparation by the reference to totally irrelevant incidents. It only answers one point, namely, the demand that the lives and property of foreigners shall be respected, but it offers no guarantee for that. The Ministers decided to urge their Governments to send a further Note to ilr. Chen on these lines. A dispatch from Shanghai says Japanese messages indicate that the enforcement of the Powers' demands is likely owing to the insincerity of the replies from the Nationalist Government.
