British and the Canton Delegates' pro. posals for a settlement of the under consideration, boycott are labour organisations in Canton should give vent to such declara- tions as we indicated in our issue of yesterday. As it was, we gave only a summary of the statements issued by those bodies, practically all of which, it will be observed, are closely associated with the Kuomintang Party. We cannot bring ourselves to believe that the declarations have been published of that with the approval Government, but it is not without some significance that they appear in full in a journal which is generally regarded as
of Canton's official mouth pieces.
