LIFE IN PEKING
NEW ADMINISTRATION
CHINESE-JAPANESE BODY
(Received July 3D, noon.) LONDON, July 29. Contrasting with the virtual state of war in Tientsin, life in Peking has returned to normal. The defence ■works have been pulled down, and few soldiers are in evidence. A committee of equal numbers of Chinese and Japanese has taken over the administration. The next steps are .uncertain, but it is stated in Tokio that Japan will not tolerate foreign intervention. The Foreign -Minister, Mr. Hirota, told the Diet that England, America, and Russia are well aware that Japan intends to seek a settlement on the spot. The Prime Minister, Premier Konoe, declared that Japan not only seeks a local settlement but intends funda.men^H.v to readjust her relationship to Cb'na as she desues the .territorial integrity of China to be resolved in order to prevent foreign influence-dom-inating her. Newspapers express anxiety regarding Britain's attitude.
