the Provincial Kuomintang. But recently Chan Fu Muk appears to have some misunderstanding with the Municipal

Kuomintang, and the immediate sanction of the request might be very harsh to him. Therefore he referred

it yesterday to the opinions of the Special Council

which unanimously approved of it and instructed the

Municipal Kuomintang to send one or two men to the

office of the paper and work in co-operation with

Chan Fu Muk. On receipt of the instructions, the

Municipal Kuomintang sent Ko Hon and Au Yeung Chung

yesterday to be editors of the paper responsible for leading articles and news items, and they have

started work there from that day. We are told that

in so doing the Government desires to remedy the

misunderstanding between the Municipal Kuomintang

and Chan and bring them to terms again.
