The

China
continues
tense
The
Japanese
are
not

up
on
their
military
operations
and
are
moving
In
more
and
more

Officially,
Japan
says
the
reason
Is
to

North
China
Irom
Communism
and
to
protect
Japanese
Interests.
The
Chines'!
Nationalist
government
Is
chafing
but
hesitates
to
resort
to
force.
It
has,
however,
rushed
soldiers
into

the

violent
outbreaks
by

students
in

demonstrations
designed
to
force
the
hand
of
the
government
to
resisting
the
invasion.
Police
and
military
reinforcements
have
been
required
to
put
down
the
demonstrations.
The
Japanese
are
demanding
the
resignation
of
the
mayor
o!
Tientsin
and
declaration
of
independence
of
North
China
from

advised
that
