A "TITHE SYSTEM"

METHOD OF COMBATING COMMUNISM,

(From A Special Correspondent)

Canton, To-day.

Authoritative reports state that China is strong enough to: suppress Communist activities within her territories with her own efforts. In order to check the bandits and Communists and to prevent foreign ronina from raising more trouble with the local Governments. the Chinese Central Government has announced that it will run a "tithe" system in the whole country. This is the system by which the vast country of China maintained peace: and prosperity for thousands of years in ancient times, and it will certainly give great help to the anti-Communist movement

of the nation.

The provinces of Homan, Ankwei, Hupei and Kiangsi have: already renewed this system with suCCESS, General Huang Mu- sung, Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, has been instructed to adopt this system in that province. Accord-

ALLEGED INTERVENTION IN DISPUTE

MOST FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF

INTERNATIONAL LAW”

Paris, To-day.

The Spanish Embassy states that the Government has re- quested the Secretary-General of the League to summon the Council to examine the Italian and German intervention in Spain. According to a London message the Spanish Government has re- quested the League urgently to convoke the League Council. It is understood that in a Note to the League the Spanish Govern- ment invokes the second paragraph of Article XI, declaring it to be the friendly right of each member of the League to bring the attention of the Assembly or the Council to any circumstances threatening to disturb international peace. The Spanish Ambas- sador in London caßed at the Foreign Office yesterday and ex- plained the Government's point of view in requesting the fame- diate meeting of the Council. Spanish circles point out that Spain is not asking for League assistance but merely wants the League to take cognisance of the dangerous situation.

Valencia: The Spanish Government's Note requesting a meeting of the League declares that the armed intervention of Italy and Germany in favour of the insurgents is a most flagrant violation of international law. The recognition of General Franco is virtually an net" of aggression against the Spanish Government.
