In a declaration, the Strike Committee emphasises: Therefore, we cannot say that the Canton and Hong Kong strike is settled.

The Nationalist Government has issued no proclamation.

The Kuomintang declaration lays stress on:-the giving up of the policy of direct boycott and the blockade of Hong Kong. But this same declaration, in a mass of political and other utterances. gives prominence to "intensification of the struggle against Imperialism.". It is noteworthy that the Strikers specifically refer to Hong Kong and the Kuomintang does not.

Latest reports on the situation to-day appear below, revealing the effect of Sunday's decision.
