In Canton, the expenditure was des fended and attacked by Gaston officials as follows:-

1. Defended The Delta of the Pearl 'River has always attracted military expeditions from neighbouring pro vinees, who sought to live upon the economic resources of the richest part of South China. If the Kuomintang experiment is to succeed, they must arm to the teeth to keep everybody out, to present a disraption of their govern- Even if the militarists con- ment. sume more than 75 per cent of the revenue, they serve the useful purpose of making it possible for the govern ment to take root.

2. Attacked-The huge expenditure" for military purposes leaves the Gov- ernment with hardly enough money to maintain the Civil Administration and to accomplish works of reconstruction. The Judicial expenditures have not been met according to the Budget, -There is no money for reconstruction. Even if the Canton Government wanted to pay off the strikers and end the boy. cott, there is not enough money to handle that problem because of the military expenditure What it comes down to, then, is that the capable, young men struggling to establish good government in Canton, have be ...come
