Fürther Discussion
In South
(From Our Special Correspondent)
Canton, Sept. 10. After dispatching their joint telegram last Saturday demanding the Fifth National Congress of the Kuomintang to punish severely those responsible for the loss of
Manchuria and to adopt a strong policy towards Japan, members of the Kuomintang South-west - Ex- ecutive Commitee met this morn- ing
and discussed further the agenda of the Congress.
Specific resolutions, it is said, will be drafted and submitted to the Fifth Congress. Members "of the Kuomintang Central Execu
tive Committee and Central Supervisory Committee in Shang hat have received a copy of the telegram and are said to be in support of the views thereof. Two of their members, Messts. Huang Fu Sheng and Sun Ching Ya will come to Canton to exchange views with their colleagues here.
In the opinion of well-inform- ed circles here. it will be difficult for the Fifth Congress to adopt the views as stated in the Joint telegram, which are exactly op posite to the policies pursued by the Nanking authorities High have so officials in the capital arranged that the delegales to the
