Is he holding. the place in the interests of Chiang Kai-shek or the ex-gen- eralissimo's lieutenant, General Ho Ying-ching, as suggested by Reuter? Or is he loyal to the Na- tionalist Government at Nanking?

At any rate, the highest mili tary circles in Canton do not ap pear to be perturbed over thei trend of developments.

From usually well informed :sources it is gathered that Can- ton holds the view that even if rival elements clash across the border in Fukien, neither loser nor winner will seek sanctuary in Kwangtung.

·eral Wong Shiu-hung, the respec- tive commanders of Kwangtung .and Kwangs are to issue a joint announcement. The main points of the manifesto are on the usual high-sounding lines but there is mention of "preparation" to con- tinue the military expedition against the northern factions of ⚫ China.

Has this last "plank" been in- serted as a result of pressure by the Ironsides? Or has Canton, after a brief period of practical} autonomy, been influenced by the reported reconciliation between Nanking and Wu-Han and deemed it best to join once more in the principal 'Nationalist alogan?
