The following, fanHosto has been issued by Dr. Sun Yat-sen as President of the Government at Canton and Head of the Kuomin-
Lang:
From the moment that the Com- pradoro of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation at Canton openly began his Rebellion against my Government, I had reasons to susppet that his anti- national movenient was supported by British Imperialism. I have been reluctant, however, to bellove this in view of the accession to power of the Labour Party in Eng land which, in its conferences and programmes, repeatedly expressed its sympathy with exploited péopics. And I still had hope that this Labour:Government, now that power was in their hand, would prove their professions by at least abandoning the old gun boat policy which, in the past, has heaped disaster and humiliation on China and would inaugurate in¦ this country that ors of inter- national honesty which is reputed
EARLIER TELEGRAMS,
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS,
MONIA & Canava, Sept
------ The Salio do Reformalion, was packed long before the Assembly mat,” „The delegations" algwly dribbled in. Lord Parmour, Mr. Arthur Henderson and His Swanwick all took their places and only Mr. Ramsay Macdonald's seat was empty. Presently Mr. Macdonald, wearing a lounge suit, unostentatiously and unnoticed, appeared in the hall having already had a great reception outside.
Although working to a late hour Mr. Macdonald was early astir, giving_final touches to what is expected to be an historic speech. He had previously privately conferred with all the Dominfon repre- sentatives and explained fully the main lines to be followed.
Mr. Macdonald opened the debate on the reduction of arma- ments with a spooch of an hour's duration.
Mr. Macdonald;was given a Ave minuta 'ovation followed by complete allencs when he rose to speak. His speech was frequently punctuated with applaust, especially when he said: "Wo are here to lay the foundation of peace" Mr. Macdonald declared his pre- sence was a pledge that Britain intended to use every means In her power to widen and increase the influence of the League of Nations.
Mr. Macdonald said that he would do his utmost to lay the foundations of peace (Loud applause). He emphaskeed the fact that all the delegations of which he was chief had determined to place all their ideas in a common pool. Britain had not subscribed to the pact of mutual assistance not because she was indifferent to public security but because she felt that they had not yet properly prepared the soil. Britain wished to carry out every letter of her obligation, he would not siga an Indefinite proposal which, if she tried to carry it out, public opinion would probably make Impossibles but the last word had not been said. In the pact we must have the whole world with us.
Mr. Macdonald declared that they could not afford to allow Germany to remain outside the League. The London Conference had

to a declaration of war:
"I am now in receipt of a med sage from the Senior British Naval Omeer, stating that he has recely- ed orders from the Commodore in Hongkong that, in the event of the Chinese Authorities firing upon the City, Immediate action is to be taken against them by all British Naval Forces available."
My Government repudiates the suggestion that it could be, guilty of "the barbarity of firing upon defenceless city," since the only section of Canton against which Government might be compelled to take action is the suburb of Sai- kwan, which is the armed strong- hold of the Chan Lim-pak rebels. But this Infamous suggestion com ing as it does from a body which includes the authors of the Singa- pore massacre and the Amritsar and other atrocities in Egypt and Ireland, Is typical of Imperialist hypocrisy. And even in my Own country, I need but refer to the latest British outrage at Wantsien where the bombardment of a defenceless city by British Naval Forces was only averted by the sacrifice of two of my countrymon who were summarily decapitated without trial, in order to satisfy Imperiallat frightfulness.
bly (Cheers). The matter should be taken up by this Assembly:
Mr. Macdonald, said that Russia belloved in revolution; and therefore did not favour the League, but Russia had changed and the Anglo-Russian agreement was paving the way for Russla on- tering the League,
Dealing with the question of security, Mr. Macdonald pointed out the difficulty of establishing who was the aggressor. He dwelt on the system of arbitration. If we werd unable to elaborate a'
proper system of arbitration then we must return to military pacts: Britain's Fulllment of, Her Agreements. Mr. Macdonald said that the pact should clearly define the nature of the obligation of each state, also when arbitration should operate. He emphasised that the optional arbitration clause should be thoroughly examined before Britala and the Dominions could adhere to it (Cheers), as arbitration was directed at the problem of armamente, He pointed out that with regards to naval arma- ments Britain had fulfilled the Washington agreement as she had fullled all her agreements.-Router.
