It is reported in Canton that at meeting of "the Committee of Political Affairs, the question of unifying China was brought up; for discussion.

Generals Chang Kai-shek and Tan Yon-kai wore supporters of the question, which was discussed¦ ¦ at great length. "As the matter is of such importance and magni- tude, it was ultimately decided to put the question before the meet- ing of the Kuomintang, as the present annual moeting is com- posed of delegatos from every province of the Ropublic and its would have greater weight with the public.

MOSUL PROBLEM.

TURKİSH GOVERNMENT'S

ATTITUDE.

Constantinople, Jan. 10. Military representatives, and the whole Cabinet attended a meeting of the Assembly which approved of the Government's attitude on the Mosul, question. Tewfik Rushdi in a statement on the whole course of the Moaul negotiations, said that the League's decision condena- ing the Irakians to submit to a foreign mandate for a further twenty-five years for the purpose of severing the disputed territory from Turkey, was illogical and illegal (Applause), Referring to the pourparlers between Mr. Bald-" win and the Turkish Ambassador in London, Tewfik Rushdi declar- ed that much depended on the form and substance of the British pro- posals. Turkey aimed at an agree- ment based on a frontier line at: Mosul satisfactory to both parties." -Reuter,
