Another eventful week in the history of Canton is outlined in the "Overland China Mail."
Gerieral Li Chai-sum has rehaned from Shanghai to the Kwangtung capital and resumed control of the Kwangsi faction, which has been in occupation of the city since the Ironsides departed after driving the Communists away. Chinese observers and correspondents, in the "Overland," suggest that period of calm lies before the city, always provided that interference does not materialise from the Nanking leaders.
In the north there is a lull. No fighting has been reported during the past few days, and it is stated that Shansi has put peace offerings before Peking.
Political differences and shufflings still rule in the Shanghai-Yangtsze sectors, Latest moves are outlined by "Overland" correspondents and the regular cable services.
