Is Purely Domestic Question; Outside Interference is Uncalled For
[Associated Press by Federal Wireless]
PEKING, Nov. 3.-The Chinese government is convinced that the majority of the citizens of the Chinese Republic favor a return to a monarchical system and are taking steps accordingly. This is the statement of Minister of Foreign Affairs Tsao Yulin, in formal reply to the protests of the Japanese, Russian and British ministers, who pointed out the danger of internal disturbances in China at this time of almost universal war and urged that the status quo in the Republic be preserved for the present at least.
Disturbances Expected,
The foreign minister admits the possibility of internal disturbances, especially in South China, where the suggestion of the restoration of the monarchy is viewed with signal disfavor but believes that the government is in a position to handle whatever situation may arise.
The decision whether the government is to be a Republic or a monarchy is a domestic question, to be settled by the people of China without outside interference.
