published To-day, gives an elaborate scheme... of reconstruction applying specially to the transport, telegraph and conservancy systems of Kwangtung which has been drawn up by the Reconstruction committee, and the Marshal is badly needed to continue his work of suppressing the disorderly elements while these improvements are taken in hand.

Cable news and extract from the Northern news- papers suggests that the big Nationalist thrust for Peking may be expected at any time.

The news in China is particularly interesting at

the moment. Despite rumours of

The WEEKLY PRESS also gives the usual summary of Hong Kongnews, and includes in the issue the opening phases of a libel action brought by a Macao official against Mr. Lee Hygan, a well known member of the Chinese community. The alleged libel relates to the management of the Government Opium Monopoly in Macao.
