OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE CANTON DEMONSTRATION.

SITUATION MUCH IMPROVED IN CANTON.

The official, accounts of the demonstration at the East Parade" ground on Sunday add little, if anything, to the report published in the Daily Press yesterday.

"The mesange received from British sources simply states that the pro- cessions passed off peacefully; that chinese are returning to duty with their former employers and that the situation is much improved. As far as Swatow is concerned the information confirms that published in the Daily Press on Monday. Yesterday our correspondent added that there was no improvement in the situation and that intimidation was still being practised. As will be seen elsewhere in to-day's paper a message received on Tuesday evening announces that the situation is growing worse.

The account of Sunday's demonstration in Canton, furnished by the Canton Information Bureau, may, we presume, be regarded as, the official statement of the Government. Unfortunately it does not give us any clear idea of what the future trade policy is to be. These official state- ments are given below:-)
