Canton, Dec. 2. Carrying Nanking terms of ea- operation with the South-weat, Messrs. Wang Chủng Hui and Bur Fa are expected at Hong Kong on Tuesday aboard the MM liner Athos . The Nanking emissaries wl call on Mr. Hu Han Min, form-
er President of the Legislative
Yuan, and other Kuomintang lead- ers who have arrived at
Hong Kong.
Much political significance is at- tached to the coming gathering of Kuomintang leaders as the parley will lead either to co-operation or further estrangement; While Nanking's terms are not yet divulged, it is understood that they are based on the circular telegrams of General Chiang Kai Shek and Air Wang Ching Wel on November 28.
