Threat 0i New Fight- ing Between J a ps And Chinese Arose

‘ As Conference Breaks Up.

SHANGHAI, Mar. 23.—(A.P.)-A threat of new fighting arose today as the peace parley between the F“ and Japanese broke up over a difference in rank between the negotiators. The Japanese said the Chinese troops were edging back towards Shanghai inside the 12%. mile safety zone and that the Japanese were preparing to take strong measures to prevent any en- croachment upon that liulit. General Chiang Kuang-Nai, the Chinese delegate, walked out of the peace parity and said he would not come back until Lieutenant-General Kinklchi Uyeda, the Japanese - kesman, had been replaced by a full General . - Chinese soldiers crossed Bcochcw Creek at Chiawangmiao, Japanese observers said. This point is inside the zone of evacuation laid out by General Uyeda in his ultimatum of Feb. 20.

The Japanese asked the British authorities to request that the Chin- ese withdraw south of the creek. The British Consul was informed that the Chinese were digging in on the north side of the stream oppos- ite the Japanese lines.

As for the peace pariey, it was generally expected that it would be resumed tomorrow, possibly with General Tai Chi, commanding the Chinese garrison at Shanghai. in place of General Chiang Kuang- Hui.

On the eve of the Easter recess, with the House noticeably silent and stillcd, the Prime Minister tool: the step that will force a division soon after Parliament reassembles next Tues- day. And then in a speech lasting nearly two hours, the Government leader lashed out at the Opposition for debuting the relief proposal two weeks and "ma1‘ ‘ ‘y consuming time." Canada, he said, faced an emergency when it might be neces- sary for the administration to take sudden and drastic steps to preserve national integrity. That was the primary reason for the wide and elastic power the government sought from Parliament. In the nine months it had been clothed with a similar power there had been no abuse or malfeasance by the Min- istry and this fact was the best guarantee the Goverulneni could oi-
