Another eyesčiai Vick in the history of Canton is outlined in the "Overland China Mail,””.

General Li Chai-sum has returned from Shanghai to the Kwangtung capital and resumed control of the Kwangsi faction, which has been in occupation of the city since the Ironsides departed after driving the Communists away. Chinese observers and correspondents, in the "Overland," suggest that a period of calm lies before the city, always provided that interference does not materialise from the Nanking leaders,

In the north there is a lull. No fighting has been reported during the past few days, and it is stated that Shansi has put peace offerings before Peking.

Political differences and shufflings still rule in the Shanghai-Yangtze sectors, Latest moves are outlined by "Overland" correspondents and the regular cable services.

This week's issue also contains accounts of the new Christie case, in which the ex-Colonel and his companion figure as defendants in another charge, together with full descriptions of New Year holiday sport and the Colony's social events.
