- Only Japan, since 1933, had exercised the right of stationing troops at most of the twelve places specified in Article IX. In addition, from the end of 1935 Japan arbitrarily assumed the right of stationing a military force at Tungchow, and from September 1936 at Fengtai. The maintenance of Japanese troops at these two towns was clearly contrary to the provisions of the Boxer Protocol.

- In fact, the existing admission procedures apply only to what are known as “intellectual youth”, that is to say secondary school graduates transferred to the country or a factory, and only students in large towns fall into this category. Fengtai, near Peking, has a population of 150,000 and is nevertheless regarded as belonging to the country, its secondary school graduates being excluded from selection for the universities. On the other hand, secondary school graduates in Peking who have been sent to Fengtai factories are entitled to apply for a university place.
