When Marshal Chang, overlord of Manchuria until expelled by the Japanese army in 1930 launch- ed hls revolt at Sian-Fu two weeks ago he broadcast three demands: ‘Immediate military resistance to Japan's "cncroachments."

A spokesman of the executive Yuan said: "Not one cent of cash was in- volved other than the expense; of emlssaries to and from Sian-Fu." What began a". a gloomy Christ- mas for China changed quickly in- to a day of rejoicing as the news from Lioyang was flashedJhrough- out the country.

Many Nanklng authorities gave major credit for iihQyGEIIBTH-lISSlIIIITS release to skillful negotiations car- ried out at Sian-Fu by Madame Chlang and her brother. When the wife of the Nanklng leader flew to Slan-Fu two days ago to plead directly with the rebel chieftaln she had to dis- regard the advice of many high officials who insrtcd any mego- tlated settlement with Marshal Chang would weaken the govern- mantis authority. Military leaders insisted the re- belllon must be crushed by force of arms if the govemm M's pres- tige were to be upheld. They in- sisted the mutinous Marshal would be treated as bandit. In Nanklng onlght there was no authoritative indication of what fat: awaits the man, who plunged the nation into one of its gravest crises, when he arrives tomorrow. Official quarters admitted sev- eral difficult questions remain to be settled, in addition to Marshal Chang's future. Chief of these was the situation arising from the rebel leader's as- rociatlon with the Chinese Com- unlsts in ‘Northern Shensi and Kansu Provinces. Nanklng leaders asserted there could be "no com- promise wlt'i the rods," rm what is to‘ become of the Communist - t. “V. . . . Interment l-Iartsville f‘ ‘ y.
