ARREST OF SOME PROMINENT. OFFICIALS
OTHERS ON BLACK LIST
Canton, Yesterday. Canton Kuomintang Headquarters and the Canton Government, realis- ing the inability of the Kwangsi clique, which have ruled Canton for same time, to effect a "come back" for a time, have, since the fall of Wuchow, arrested quite a number of party Committee men and offi- cials originally recommended or ap- pointed by the Kwangs! clique.
Up to date, at least 27 have been imprisoned or put on the black-list. Among those to be arrested will be Mr. Feng Choak-wan, former Con- missioner of Finance.
-University Ex-President
Mr. Koo Man-yu, formerly Presi- dent of Sun Yat Sen University in Canton, a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuo- mintang recently dismissed from office by the Chiang Kai-shek sec- tion, is to visit Sorth China from the North, according information received by Canton Kuomintang.
Mr. Koo is a close friend and associate of Mr. Wang Ching-wei and his presence in the South may lead to the conclusion that the "left" faction of the Kuomintang is being reorganised to oppose Nan- king.-Nan Chung Kuo New Ser- vice.
