Cablegrams, says the Canton Times, are pouring in at the Government House from Chinese in America. Canada, " Mexico, Straite Settlements, Cuba, Hono- lulu and Manila congratulating the Gor ernment on the success in the enpaign

against the Kwangsi militarists, and t the same time urging the Governmeat to direct its forces to the North to crush the illegal Government in Peking, Pro- mises of funds for the campaign against the North are made. The Chinese abroad believe that the only way to hasten uni. fication of the country is to eliminate the illegal government in Peking by an effective campaign. Our Canton contem porary is informed that depots for the soliciting of funds to finance the cam- paign are being established in the prin cipal cities in America and Canada,

If so, it is advisable that such an announcement should be made with the proper stamp of authority. Not more than a week or two ago the Canton Ties, which apparently is the grama phone into which the Government speaks, anid: The Government here claims and will assert its right as the only Government in China having powers to negotiate treaties with foreign States. Loans, contracts and agreements of whatever nature entered into with the illegal Government at Peking will be ignored and repudiated."

These are brave, big words, but need not, we think, be taken too seriously. It may be true that Dr. StN YAT SEX favours the dispatch of a separate republican dele gation to Washington, but the other Powers represented at the Conference would not be likely to engage in formal discussions with men who came without the credentials of the only Government in China recognised by the foreign Powers.

The many friends of Mr. Alan Balean Wil! sincerely regret to learn that news has just been received by cable that he passed away at Brighton, on the 3rd inst at the early age of thirty-nine years. Mr. Balean had been in the service of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank for some seventeen years, and had at differ ent times been stationed at Singapore, Shanghai, in Japan, and, for the last seven or eight years, at Hongkong, During the war he joined the Special Police Reserve, in which he attained the rank of Inspector, being awarded, also, the Police medical, in recognition of his valuable work as accountant of the Force. He was of a genial disposition and very popular. Though in ailing health for some time, he was of a very energetic nature and stuck to his work until the autumn of last year, when he went home on leave.
