"FINAL WARNING”

JAPAN AND CHINA CRISIS BELIEVED TO BE OVER (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copy richt) - (Received 10th June, 10.15 a.m.) * PERIS', 9th June. What is described in Japanese press despatches as a “final warning” was served on the Pekin military authorities to-day, when Colonel Sakai, Japanese Chief of Staff in Hopei province, demanded the immediate removal from Ilopei ■ province of all KuominUuig organisations and Central Government troops. As the provincial Kivomintang lias already left Pekin, and the evacuation of troops begun, it is generally believed the crisis has passed. The Kuomintang is the Chinese revolutionary party, founded as a secret society by Sun Yat Sen, in 1893. It became a political organisation in 1912, and attained power during the world war. It assumed control of the Government in 1928. CHIEF ECONOMIC ADVISER TO VISIT CHINA PROBLEMS TO BE DISCUSSED (Received 10th June, 10.40 a.m.' .
