Hankow's Tacties.
In addition to these regular armies marching on Nanking, the Hankow Communists are using guerillas in the southern provin- ces to embarrass General Chiang
Kai-shek.
Hankow's tactics are quite sim ple: they assume that General Chiang will be forced to use his best troops, those under the Kwangsi generals Ho Ying-yin and Pei Chung-hai in maintaining hit position in northern Kiangsu and Southern Shantung.
The Hankow armies will there fore march on Nanking's position through Anbui and. Klanget They hope thas to catch General Chiang in a vice from which he cannot extricate himself whole.
Much of Nanking's hopes de perided upon the attitude of two men, neither of whom are famel for fidelity, Feng Ya-hsiang and Chen Tino-yuan.
Another member stated that since the Chamber was a com- merical institution, any education provided should be of a commer- calor industrial nature. If Hongkong possessed schools which could turn out young men who would be a credit to the Colony's trade, and commerce, the scheme would deserve the fullest support
of the merchants.
Although the police refused to give any official statement about' the raid, it was learned that in the party of police which entered the building were, besides the chief detective, a Captain Chow, repre- senting General Yang Hu, the local Defence
Commissioner, several
well-known White Russians in the employ of the police department, several plain-clothes officers in the office of the Criminal Intelligence. Department, and uniformed for

The Chairman mentioned that over half a million dollars would be required to build a school which could give vocational edu- ention and suggested that the mat tor should be put in abeyance for the time being.
