It is becoming clearer that opposition is growing more manifest -particularly in the Watian provinces-against Nanking's Nation alist Government, which, it is now declared, is practically dominated by its military members. General Tang Seng Chi and Mr. Wang Ching Wei, appear to be eager to set-up a Central or Nationalist Government of their own, and they are evidently the prime movers against the Nanking regimo. A report in the local native Press " states that Marshal Chiang Kai Shek departed, ceremoniously from Shanghai in a special train for Nanking; but the necessary" con- firmation on this point from a less imaginative source is still awaited. It is also reported that it is probable General Ho in Shanghai and General Chow in Haugehow may soon form & Klangwu...
