Nantes, To-day.
The existence of the present Na- tional Government in France is threatened by the opposition of the Radical Socialists, the strongest single party in parliament, to the Premier's proposals for constitu- tional reform.
The Radical Socialist Con- gress, which opened here yester day, has adopted a resolution condemning M. Gaston Doumer- gue's proposal that the Premier

[From Our Own Correspondent)
Canton, To-day,
Showing a new strain of mercy in her make-up as a result of the drought, America has purchased the sands of head of cattle in the western states and killed them, rather than stand by to see them die of thirst and burger. This photograph shows part of a herd slaughtered by the gov ernment in western North Dakota, the best being given to the Indians of the Fort. Berthold reservation.
Official reports are attempting to minimise the seriousness of the Communist onslaught on Anyuan and Hsinfeng, Southern Kiangsi which are defended by the Cantonese troops, although these military dispatches only stated that one Red
divisional commander and 2,000 soldiers were kill- ed and that scores of prisoners were taken.
