KELLOGG PACT
RATIFIED BY THE FRENCH SENATE
Paris, Yesterday.-- The French Senate has ratified the Kellogg Pact which the Cham- ber of Deputies ratified on March heen 1.-Reuter.
Canton and its saburb across the Pearl River, Honam,. have placed under martial law.
An alarming report to hand which, if correct, points to dissen- sion in Canton, has been received concerning the disposition of Gen- eral Chan Ming-shu who, as stated, is in hospital here. Chan Ming-shu. whilst having steadfastly supported the Kwangsi faction for several years, is known to be in the curious position of being also friendly to Marshal Chiang Kai-shek in Nan- king. He counseled caution when his, colleagues in Canton sent the ultimatum. And it is believed in some circles that he is not favour- ably inclined to war against Nan king, preferring to be neutral rather than a enmity with either aide.
Adverse Effect?
At any rate the report goes that General Tang Sai-tsang, who is in charge in Canton in Marshal Li Chal-sum's absence, ordered and accomplished the disarming of 700- men belonging to General Chan Ming-shu's command. These troops have been quartered in Honam and they were surrounded and disarmed on Wednesday night, without any resistance being offered, the report states. Should such action-if it Tuesday and Friday 10 am to did occur- lead to a spift between 12 Noon.
