PAKHOI SITUATION

BECOMES TENSE

GREAT CONCERN SHOWN IN KWANGSI

1,000,000 VOLUNTEERS READY TO ́ DEFEND CHINA'S RIGHTS

[From A Special, Correspondent]

Canton, To-day.

The situation in Pakhoi has become tense. It is reported that the Japanese Consular repre sentatives on board the Japanese gunboat Saga. and the Chinese representatives on board the Chinese gunboat Fook On have not yet landed to investigate the incident.

General Yung Chao-woon, of the 19th Route Army, is busy making war defence and General Li-Chung-ien has sent a cable instructing him to maintain peace in the place, and to resist any ag- gression that may interfere with the Chinese na-to tional rights.

Mr. S. Kawago, the Japanese Ambassador to China, arrived at Nanking last night. and will call on Mr. Chang Chun, the Chin- Generalissimo ese Minister of Foreign Affairs, this morning. Chiang Kai-shek has been asked to go back to Nanking, and it is reported that the Japanese authorities have requested the Gen- cralissimo to suppress the 19th Route Army, but this report is not confirmed.

The people of Kwangsi are very concerned and over 1,000,-†

2,000 IRISHMEN TO FIGHT AGAINST COMMUNISM

Paris, To-day

The suggestion that Portugal is "daily withdrawing fur- ther from the British alliance in order to follow the destinies of i Europe's two big dictators" is put forward by Madame Tabnis, | the well-informed writer on foreign affairs in “T'Oeuvre.”

She suggests that the Portuguese Cabinet is deliberately working for the success of the insurgents and declares that the insurgents have headquarters in a Lisbon hotel, with a direct phone-line to the second division at Seville and a courier service with North Spain, enabling the Catholic leader, Don Gil Robles, to keep in daily contact with the insurgent troops.

Dablia: Some 2,000 Irishmen will soon be fighting in Spain against Communism, states General O'Duffy, and will form a distinctive part of the Spanish Foreign Legion: They are tra Įvelling to Spain on an undisclosed date in mufti and unarmed, and thus according to General O'Duffy's, opinion, they are not

breaking the non-intervention pact. Already two advance liesto officers have reached General Franco's headquarters at Caceres.

It will be recalled that the Over- seas Chinese Athletic Association applied for admission to the First Division on much the same ground as the Kowloon Chinese Football Club and the Eastern Athetic As- sociation, and when informed of the Management Committee's de- Thes [cision accepted it as final. ja successful appeal, was made by

the other two teams.

GROUNDS, FOR, APPEAL

In their appeal the Overseas Chinese state that the decision of the Appeals Board in connection with the appeals of the other two clubs was that the Association could, with proper co-operation, handle more that than- 12 teams in the First Division and that the appeals of the Easter Athletic Association had no right to have been. heard, inasmuch as they were Inot then members of the Associa- tion-they had failed to pay their affiliation fees-and that when the that 14 Appeals Board decided teams were not too many for the Chinese League, the Overseas application" should have, in all equity, received the consideration due to a member.

The appeal further states, in part, that the inclusion of the Overseas Chinese would require 28 extra league games to be play- ed, but, in view of the willingness expressed by some clubs, most of these games all be played in |mid/week. In conclusion the appeal: states that, with due respect to the Council, and in view of the recent events connected with the [question of the League, therers not enough justification for one club to be permitted to enter two teams in the First Division to the exclusion of other aspirants, and suggests that an exhaustive ex- ploration on this point might have helped the Association in", "their pursuit of a solution to the blem
