THE MONTH OF MAY IN CANTON WILL BE A MONTH OF CONFERENCES. ALL THE LEADING MEMBERS OF THE KUOMINTANG WILL BE PRESENT IN THE SOUTHERN CAPITAL FOR THE GREAT MEETING OF THE PARTY COUNCIL ON MAY 15TH, WHEN IMPORTANT DECISIONS ARE EXPECTED.
In the "North the Commanders of the Allied forces
continue their opposition to any suggestion of Bolshevism. They have completely defeated the Kuominchun Army and it is thought they will now turn their attention to the South. Already the Kuomintang are rushing troops to the Northern Kwangtung border to guard against invasion...
A situation is developing which may mean changes of far reaching consequence in the near future. In order to follow the details closely the WEEKLY PRESS is
necessary.
It gives the whole news of the past seven days, both from
the North and the South in concise readable form.
In addition, all matters of interest to old Hongkong
