"NORMAL TRADE BEFORE END CANTON AEROPLANES FOR

OF JULY?

NORTH.

COMPROMISE WITH HONOUR."

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

Cantph. May 20:

In officiat and unofficial etrelas in Chiton she feeling is growing that the Hongkong boycott not only must be brought to an end, but that the present situation will have been changed back to a basis for normal trade before the end of July-possibly sooner than that.

Canton, with a serious, northern military venture on her hands, realises the necessity for putting her house in order. She wants to resume normal relations with the rest of the world, and to have, an far as possible the sympathy and rome measure of co-operation of the outside world. This, as much as a change of heart, accounts for the recent overturn against the Communiat, for it was renfined that the Hongkong trouble could * be settled and that outside sympathy could not be hoped for.. so long as the Nationalist Govern ment would, with any justice, be termed "Red."
