(Extract from Wa Tsz Yat Po, Hong Kong. 17th August, 1927).

Important telegrams exchanged between Lok Yeung and

Nanking during the past month with a view to settling the

dispute in the Kuomintang.

Fung Yuk Tseung is very anxious to secure a settlement

between Hankow and lanking.

Both parties have agreed to a joint Conference of the

Executive Committee and the Inspectorate.

Tseung (Kai Shek) suddenly resigns.

Fung Yuk Tseung has taken great pains to settle the

dispute between Hankow and Nanking. By the telegrams

published in Nanking, it appeared that both parties had

approached a settlement, but after all the negotiations have

now been broken off, and Tseung has suddenly resigned. Can

it be that this is due to certain painful circumstances that

have occurred to him? We now publish below the telegrams

that have been gazetted in Nanking so as to make known what

has been done during the negotiations:-

Telegram from Fung Yuk Tseung, proposing a settlement

between Nanking and Hankow.

(From Lok Yeung dated the 14th July).

Now the Imperialists have been deprived of their

tools, and the Militarists, who have betrayed our nation,

are on the brink of destruction. But troubles have arisen

in our Kuomintang, and have grown as rapidly as the move-

ments of the wind and clouds, and a rupture in our Party

is imminent. This has caused us deep grief and great

anxiety, and we cannot help weeping and giving you a

warning.
