THE CHINA MAIL
In advertising Mr. Chan Lim-pax than it is in any other person who happens to be in the news for the moment. Of course, It serves Dr. Sun's purpose to insinuate that the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation is backing up some alleged plan of the bank's compradore to enable "a group of conspirators among the Merchant Volunteers to overthrow the Canton Government by bringing about the paralysis of the political and commercial metropolis." Obviously the Canton Government could not sit by and "watch a gang of armed men instituting a reign of terror-even a purely imaginary one among law-abid. ing citizens and at the same time encompassing the Government's downfall." Several weeks ago the suspicions of the Canton Authori- ties were aroused with regard to the insidious intentions of Mr. Chan Lim-pak and the Volunteers; yet we are told, on page 2 of the official statement, "Government returns arms" (seized on the s.s. "Hav" after official permission for their importation had been grant- ed.) Those who believe the Canton Government's explanation can only come to the conclusion that the Volunteers are entirely to blame for the drastic action which "President" Sun felt com- pelled to take.
At the same time, the specious claim now put forward in the official statement has not the

"LOCAL AND GENERAL
While we willingly give publicity to the Canton official statement, we regret that Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his advisers have not been able to put forward a better defence for the slaughter of Wednesday last. Nothing put forward in the official statement alters our opinion that violent opposition was purposely pre-supposed and that orders were given by the "compleat Bolshevik" Sun Yat-sen "to teach the rabble a lesson."
