CIVIL WAR
Nanking, June 9.
The first official pronouncement upon the South- west situation was made by Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, the Central Government's actual leader, to-day.
He declared the Government would continue to adhere to its policy of safeguarding the nation's interests.
He admitted there had been differences between Nanking and Canton, but he believed the Kwangtung and Kwangsi leaders would not seize upon the Govern- ment's foreign policy as "an alibi in the starting of a civil war," nor proclaim their independence.
He emphasised that such questions as declaring war and negotiating peace rested with the Central authori ties, not with a minority inspired with personal feelings. Marshal Chiang announced that a plenary session of the Central Executive Committee would be held to discuss the situation, and he hoped Kwangsi and Kwang- tung would attend in full force.-Reuter.
