Referring to telegren frau Shameen. No. 1 and No. 2 to Canton which you had repeated to you.
A section of Sarthern Government have threatened to seine Haritime Qustoms House on February 1st but the threat mist certainly be looked upon as a fresh separatist movement created to help a few dieœredited pol'tisians Who having fled to Foreign settlements a year ago from Canton have come back lately in order to stir up - afrosh the agitation to renew hostilities against the North but there is no excuse for this and the people of the South do not wish it.
If present Peking Government have earmitted blunders they have at least given up hostilities and since they have announced sonvocation of new Parliament they have gêne a long way towards meeting the South and making a union possible, whereas the attempt which the extremista including mutingfang made lately to stir up fresh strife only puts the game into the hands of the military party both in the Horth and South, and publie opinion is beating
against the latter slowly but surely,
In 1918 there may have bem some exeuse for Southern threat mit it no longer exists and I hope that action which is suggested in your telegram 484 af September 1918 may be taken if need arises novi there are now more than ever strong reaams for resisting this assault on foreign interests which is contemplated because the amount of trouble shigh a divided Southern party could omuina is smaller. (Fisase refer to final paragraph of Canton telegram which was repeated in telegram Ho, 767 from Pekina
