KWANGTUNG'S FEAR OF BLOW FROM FUKIEN
Shanghai, June 15.
Despite the continued circulation of reports of Japanese affiliations with Kwangsi, Reuter learns that practically all the Japanese advisers have been with- drawn from that province.
Well-informed circles here believe that despite the fact that Kwangsi during the past two years has taken advantage of cheap Japanese armaments and munitions there is no ground for connecting Japanese influence with the present situation.
The lack of understanding between Japan and Kwangsi is borne out by the uneasiness expressed in Shanghai Japanese circles at the spread of anti-Japanese agitation.
A statement issued by the Japanese Embassy `yi- gorously denies reports alleging that Japanese financed and fomented the South-west's avowed anti-Japanese campaign and were supplying the South-west with arm and credit, or that large numbers of Japanese officers disguised as Chinese were stationed in Kwangsi for the purpose of instructing the provincial troops.
The statement added:
"We have sold munitions to Kwang- tung and Kwangal; but go have some other powers. We also
