CHINA'S UNREST
Communist Unrest Increases in Canton

Shanghai, June 20. Xenophobic propaganda continues. The situation in Shanghai is calm. The decision to reopen banks and shops seems to be having a positive effect on the situation in general. However, there are no signs of a slowdown in the shipping strike.
The strikers are now beginning to abduct Chinese workers employed by the Japanese. They are only releasing them after beating and robbing them, paying a certain sum and promising to quit their jobs.
A wireless from Chin-Kiang reports that the strikers have resolved to prevent the sale of coal to the British and the Japanese.
All danger has passed in Anking; xenophobic demonstrations continue in Shatshu; an anti-Japanese boycott has been decided in Fuchshu; communist agitation is increasing in Canton. The situation in Beijing is unchanged.

Beijing Responds to the Powers' Note
Beijing, June 20 - The Chinese delegation that went to Shanghai issues a communiqué expressing regret that its efforts to bring about a settlement of the incidents in that city have so far failed.
The Chinese government, in a lengthy reply to the Powers' latest note, states, among other things, that almost all the difficulties stem from the fact that the Shanghai incidents have not been settled, and it expresses the hope that this will soon be the case.
On the other hand, it maintains the attitude it adopted in its last notes.
