to run in double harness has led both the Civil and Military

Governors repeatedly to tender their resignation, the latter putting forward as his successor T'an Hao-ming, a young protégé

of his. The former would like to obtain unfettered control of

the province, and were be to prove successful he might be able

to evolve some order out of the present ohsos, but the influenOOS

working against him are strong.

The financial condition of Kuangtung is worse then

it has ever been, as it is again confronted with the problem of

how to find funds wherewith to pay off the new set of alien

mercenaries imported by is'en Ch'm-hauen, Li Lish-chur and the

present Tuchun, who are said to number some 20,000. From the

Bank of Taiwan $600,000 have already been borrowed and negotiations

are said to be proceeding for a further loan from the same bank of

$3,000,000.

It seems regrettable that these large sums should

all have to be devoted to the payment of outsiders and not kept

at home, as they would be were the troops autochthonous. Nor oan

it be said of the leaders that they are working disinterestedly

for the welfare of the province. Their sole desire would appear

to be ita exploitation for their own ends. On these grounde,

therefore, any reshuffling of the carde which would result in

the installation of a Cantonese Governor would be welcome, and

as Chiên Chiung-ning is not without administrative ability and is

said now to be actuated by unselfish motivas, experience having

taught him the very undesirable consequence of allowing the oortrol

of the province to pass into the hands of outsiders, he might well

be given another chance.

To'en Ch'un-hɛuan is here and leaves shortly for

shanghai on a Chinese oruiser. What his plane are cannot be

ascertained, but he is reported to have said that his services

are at the diposal of the Central Government should they bẹ

required.

L1 Lieb-chun has already left for Shanghai after
