PEACE AND TRADE
POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN CANTON
EFFECT IN HONG KONG
General Chan Ming-shu As Chief
CLOSER CO-OPERATION WITH NANKING
[By Li Chung-yin"] Without being unduly optimistic, it has to be recorded that the latest important political event at Canton augurs well for peace and trade in a very wide aspect, that is to say, as affecting Hong Kong.
At the last moment, General Chan Ming-shu has put off the ceremony of taking the oath of offico as. head of the Provincial Goy- ernment of Kwangtung. He is reported to be ill. In the past, "illness" was always understood by the man in the street to be a convenient form of excuse. This time, however, it will not be fair to accuse General Chan of any ulterior motive.
