About 1,000 youths gathered on Changan Street and in the Tienanmen Square in Peiping Saturday night to demand democracy and law, and freedom of speech, Japanese correspondents reported.

The crowds, whose members appeared to have an average age of 20, asked the correspondents about the election system, land reform, human rights and press censorship in Japan and about democracy in the United States, and asked how the American President is elected.
