TOKIO, Oct. 29—The Japanese gov
ernment announced officially today
that the Cabinet had requested the
Chinese government to postpone the
re-establishment of the monarchy in
the Flowery Kingdom because of the
growing Chinese opposition to the
monarchical form of government. The
message is directed to Yuan Shi Kal,
who seems to have ambitions to wear
a crown, and the Japanese document
politely but firmly informs the China
man that it fears that serious dis
orders will immediately follow the
establishment of a monarchy in China,
which will be a dangerous menace to
the safety of life and property. It re
quests that the new era to be fntro
duced by the monarchy be postponed
until the times are more propitious.
