General Wa Te-chen, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, arrived in Hong early yesterday morning aboard the ss. Empress of Japan from Shanghai and after a brief visit left by special train for Canton.
General Wu left Canton for Kuling on July 2 to attend the summer conference and was to stay for a few weeks, but owing to the serious' turn of affairs in the North he is returning to Canton ahead of the scheduled time.
"

Questioned about the North China situation General Wu declared that he had nothing `more to add than the four points laid down by Generalissimo Chiang and furthermore he believed that the Chinese people, under the leadership of the Generalissimo, are united and prepared for peace and otherwise.
Before noon Governor Wn paid a friendly call on H.E. Mr. N. L., Smith, the Officer Administer- ing the Government. He dropped cards on the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho-tung, the Hon. Dr. Li Shu-fan and the Hon. Mr. R. HL Kotewall-Central News

CHINESE HAVE EXERTED EVERY EFFORT
London: Major Attlee in the course of a pre-adjournment debate on foreign affairs, declared that the Far Eastern situation looks like breaking into war. The Chinese all the time have gone to` the very limit in an endeavour to maintain peace, but every point conceded had been met by more agression. If these things were allowed to continue it will mean abrogation of all treaties to which we and the United States are parties. It was time the League should take notice of what is occur- ring in the Far East. The tendency was now for aggressive states to bank on the unreadiness of the rest of the world to take setion. Unless the world refused to stand by and see innocent states suffering from aggression, there will be continuous incitement to this gambling and encouragement of certain elements." H
Italy, Germany and other states which favoured aggression, Mr. R. J. B. Boothby' said, he did not see how Britain could take action in the Far East without the United States. It was no good dragging in the poor emaciated League on which they might impose a strain which might break it. We must act in conjunction with the United States; friendly feeling between Britain and America had never been so good for many years as it was to-day."

INTERNATIONAL
CO-OPERATION JEOPARDISED
Mr. Anthony Eden, replying, agreed with Major Attlee regarding the seriousness of the situation in the Far East and said it had deteriorated since the House met yesterday. "The Government deep- ly deplored these events, and all the more because it seemed as though quite recently prospects for the betterment of international co-operation in the Far East were better than it had ever been. All that appeared to have gone for the time being. We continue convinced In the interest of Far Eastern nations that peace should be preserved. Each will get far more beneût by a 'polley which aims at the elimination of enmities and co-operation in peaceful development than any one of them will get from results of force.
+1
PEACE AND CONCORD BETWEEN NATIONS
Mr. Eden said that Britain would continue the polley of maintaining close contact with the' United States and French Governments. He was not prepared to quarrel with the advice tendered to the House by Mr. H. Dalton the other day that we zo step in step with the United States and not rush in ahead but be prepared to go as far and fast as they. Our objective will be to do every- thing within the power of one single government to promote peace and concord in the nations. Reuter.
