CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

SEND IT HOME'
Canton, during the past, week, has experienced a period of quiet such as has not been its lot since General Li Chai-sum left the capital for Shanghai. Now that he is back business is being resumed as before and peace reigns in the city. In the countryside the Kwangsi troops are still chasing the Iron- sides and a fresh outbreak against Cummunists has commenced. Underneath the surface, however, there are many political movements astir, and these are fully dealt with by our Chinese observers and correspondents in this week's "Overland Mail."
On the Yangtaze the Nationalists find themselves internally" at loggerheads and externally threatened by an army from Hunan. Hankow, as our special correspondents, point out in the "Overland," may at any time prove to be tile scene of an armed struggle.
All local events are fully reported in the "Overland,” including police court proceedings concerning the charge against two Canton officials of possessing a large sum of money alleged to have been stolen from the Central Bank of Chma. Politics, it seems, enter into this case, and it is creating an amount of interest.
