The week-end developments in connexion with the Canton situation, while not of startling nature, Indicate that there is much serious preparation afoot for a trial of strength between the "Iron- sides" who have held the city since last Thursday's coup and the Kwangsi forces who were driven out.

The latter are known to be concentrating along the West River The and are said to be numerically stronger than the "Ironsides." belief is fairly general that Li Chai-sum's forces can, if they desire,

of the instructions sent down by Li, who is in Shanghai...

He did not disclose his intentions. Mr. Wang Ching. wei has also been interviewed, and it is confirmed that he and Gen- eral Chiang Kai-shek have re-allled themselves.
