CHINESE LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE RESIGNS. JOINING NATIONALIST PARTY. (Rec. 10.20 p.m.) Geneva, July 8. Mr Chu has notified the Secretariat of the League of Nations that he is resigning from the Council as he has decided to join the Chinese Nationalist Government. The Pekin Government therefore has no representative at Geneva. When Pekin recalled her Diplomats from Europe, Mr Chu went to Geneva and has been representing the Pekin Government at his own expense.—A. and N.Z.
