CHINESE WARSHIPS DUEL WITH CANTON FORTS

SURRENDER NOT

CONFIRMED

NOW BELIEVED TO HAVE ESCAPED

CANTON OFFICIAL SAYS MUTINY CRUSHED

Reuter reports received in Hongkong from Can- ton at 3.05 p.m. this afternoon quote an independent| authority as stating that the rebel cruisers which yesterday and early to-day engaged shore forces and attempted to reach the open sea, may have escaped. This authority asserts that the two warships have not surrendered. This is a complete contradiction of the official communique issued earlier to-day by General Chan Chai-tong, Commander-in-Chief at Canton.

Conflicting reports have come from the scene of fighting. Local authorities understand that the rebel cruisers escaped, but Reuter's correspondent in Canton' has obtained a statement from General Chan Chai-tong to the effect that they have surrendered.

Another Reuter message from Canton states that the Fatshan, which has been tied up in Cànton for two days owing to the fighting in the river below Canton, has left for Hongkong, indicating that the river is now safe for shipping. Local ship owners, fearing accidents, held six steamers due to leave for Canton last night and this morning until this afternoon, Even now, at 3.15 o'clock, it is not definitely decided that the trip should be attempted.

. The ban was lifted this morning news of the mutiny of the cruisera Hai Chi and Hai Son, two of the three warships which deserled from Nanking and joined Canton in the summer of 1938.

Trouble appears to have been brewing for som time, owing to discontent among officers aboard these ships as a result of recent changes and reorganisation of

personnel. But there was no sin of any actual plot to desert from Canton until the night of June:

NEW DEAL PROPOSAL TOO SPECULATIVE

CABINET COMMITTEE'S

DECISION:

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1805..

Received, June 17, 9 a.m.)

London, June 16.

The special Committee of the Cabinet which has been examining Mr. Lloyd George's New Deal pro- posals has, in effect, turned down the plans put for- ward by the former Liberal Prime Minister, after several conferences with the originator of the themes.

The Committee has decided to report to the Cabinet that Mr. Lloyd George's plans do not offer any advantage over those already contemplated by the Government for dealing with unemployment and other major problems.

It is understood that the Committee, after full in- vestigation of the proposals, has reached the conclusion that they are too vague and speculative to be of any ́real value.—Reuter Special.

After several weeks devoted to examination of Mr. Lloyd George's
