The Kuomintang, who have owed their nscendency to power in Canton to the workers, are finding that the Strike Com- mmittee has got beyond the control of the Government; while General Chiang Kai Shek, who is virtually the dictator in Canton, has long been disgusted with the actions of the strike pickets and has gone so far as to propose informally in the inner circles of the party to remove all unemployed in the strikers' quarter to Whampoa under the pretext of port development, but actually in order to properly control them and, at the same time, to take immediate steps towards putting an end to the boycott, and thus do away with the picketing nuisance.

From what can be gathered it seems that the incident occurred just outside the Hunghom Market, near the corner of the Kowloon City Road about 1.p.m.

Sir SHOU SON Chow, in his address, advised moderation on the part of the Chinese women, while there were virtues in post conservatism there was something worthy in the present inclination towards progress and self-exertion on the part of women in Chias Referring to freedom, the speaker reminded them that there was freedom for all to render good and loving, service but any other kind of freedom and
