CHALLENGE has been thrown out to the Canton rulers by General Chiang Kai-shek, calling upon them to prove their sincerity by unconditionally abolish- ing the Canton Government, and co-operating with the National Government.

General Chiang Kai-shek reaffirmed his devotion to his country by stating that though his personal interests might have. to be sacrificed, there was the provisional constitution and the party constitution to be considered, and these must be upheld at all costs.
The Generalissimo also discussed the demand made recently by Mr. Hu Han-min, not only for the resignation of Chiang from the leadership of the National Government, but for his deportation-and-exile.--
To this demand, Chiang Kai-shck replied "As a responsible official of the Government, I will continue to carry out my duties despite the malicious attacks from such irresponsible quarters.”
