THE STATEMENT MADE BY SIR AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON MONDAY WILL LEAD PEOPLE AT HOME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN & PROFOUND CHANGE IN THE POLITICAL SITUA- TION IN CHINA.
Whatever change there has been is due to the fact that Chiang Kai Shek has taken charge of Kuomintang Party affairs and has ordered the expulsion of communists and agitators.
|
The daily reports from Canton appearing in the HÓNG KONG WEEKLY PRESS, published To-day, will show how these orders have been obeyed in South China..
The extremists are being driven out, and it would appear that the "cleaning-up." is being done effectively, but fighting in different districts still continues, and it will probably be some time yet before the now officials can establish an orderly administration of the Province. Even then it will remain to be seen whether anti-foreign propaganda will altogether cease.
Tiade prospects now are better than they were & few months ago but until conditions become much more stabilised it would be unduly optimistic to predict an end of all labour and anti-foreign troubles.
The WEEKLY PRESS gives an interesting review of the changes taking place and copies should be sent to all those who wish to follow the course of events. Business mon with connections in South China and former residents of Hong Kong particularly will welcome the detailed news
which the WEEKLY gives.
