(From Our Special Correspondent)

Canton, May 21 Important political developments are taking shape here following the arrival of General LI Chung-jen, Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Group Army. An important meet- ing was held last night among all he important leaders in Kwang- tung and Kwangsl, who decided that the South-west provinces should lead the nation in opposing the dictatorship and Japanese 'ag- gression.

A definite stand was reached, so that the leaders here will know what to do when the eight Nan- king leaders arrive here to-night.

Headed by Mr. Sun Fo President of the Legislative Yuan, the Nan- king agents are scheduled to ar- rive in Hong Kong this afternoon aboard the Empress of Canada. They will proceed here by the evening train.

Extensive propaganda Is con- ducted by the South-west officials with respect to the political views of the late Mr. Hu Han-min. Streamers embodying his views are hung over street crossings, and his will is projected on the screen of cinema theatres for two minutes. The official newspaper, "Man Kwok Yat Po" devoted to-day over half of its main page to the dead leader and his political principles.

All these propaganda agitations at definite objectives, are aimed and important developments are.
