LEADERS TAKE

FIRM STAND

[From Our Own Correspondentl

Canton. To-day.

For this reason the South-west leaders are paying great attention to the arenda. No resolutions sub mitted after August 18. 1934, can be accepted; but those sent in before that date, it is considered. do not meet current requirements.
