[From A Special Correspondent]

Canton, To-day.

-To-day is the 25th National Day of the Republic of China. All Government offices, schools, publie organisations and shops are closed for a holiday. Though Kwangtung is the native place of the originator of the Republic, the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and the place where the Chinese revolution started, the province has not been united to the Central Government in the strict sense for the last 24' years. This is the first Double Tenth on which the people of Canton have had the chance to celebrate the unifica tion of China, and the absolute prohibitions of gambling and opiam-smoking.

At 8 o'clock this morning a large gathering of people, includ- ing party, military and political officials, teachers and students and representatives of all the public bodies; are meeting in the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, where the celebrations are to be held. General Yn Hon-mow, Commander-in-Chief of the 4th Army and concurrently Pacification Commissioner for Kwang tang Province, will inspect a Guard of Honour at Yenteng at Later at 11.30 am, the Mayor of Canton, Mr. Tseng 8.30 a.m. Yan-pu, will give a dinner party to the Consular bodies at Sha- meen at the Municipal Reception Hall. Besides, the restaurants and entertainment places are all booked for private celebrations.

At 8 pm yesterday the Gener- alissimo and Madame Chiang in- vited Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hu- gessen and Lady Knatchbull-Hu- zessen and their daughter to dinner party at the Central Mili- tary Academy. Dr. Wang Chung- hui. Dr. and Mrs. H. H. Kung and Mr. and Mrs. Chang Chun were

PORTUGAL'S THREAT

SERIOUS POSITION RUSSIAN NOTE CIRCULATED FOR PROPAGANDA PURPOSES!

London-To-day.

It is understood that Portugal yesterday morning threaten- jed to leave the non-intervention committee, which sat” for over four hours in the evening. The threat is understood to have been made after both the Portuguese and Italian, delegates had vigorously denied the charges in a Spanish memorandum circa- lated to the committee by Britain. It is uncertain how serious a threat is intended.

Paris: It is understood that the French Premier, M. Leon Blumi, who lunched with Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, yesterday, told him that the Soviet charges of violation of the non-intervention pact would not modify France's attitude to the principle of non-intervention in Spanish affairs.” France would be prepared to accept the establishment of a neutral com- mittee of enquiry, but would go no further. The French Govern- ment has asked the Ambassader in Loudon to request a strict en- qury regarding the documents submitted by the Spanish Govern-

ment to the League. “

London, Later: Following the threat of Portugal: yesterday morning to leave the non-intervention committee after a vigorous denial of the Spanish Government's charges by the Italian and Portuguese delegates, the Portuguese delegates did not attend the afternoon meeting, at which it is understood Signor Grandi violently attacked Russia, alleging that the Russian statement.
