(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")

Canton, June 3.

It is learned on good authority that the Japanese reports of mobilisation in Kwangtung and Kwangsi are untrue.

The Kwangsi authorities emphatically deny the rumour of mobilisation.

Canton at present continues quiet though there are admittedly certain troop movements in the border areas. It is emphasised these are precautionary measures only. Well-informed quarters here believe Canton is un- likely to start hostilities but that the Government will fight with all resources available if attacked..

It appears that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek is determined to settle the South-west question with force and Canton is apprehensive that an invasion may soon

eventuate.

The establishment of an independ unt regime is not contemplatedly at present, but that step might be taken

if Naoking opened the attack.

It is believed that Naning's re- fusal to assist Canton to cope with the currency crisis is one of the cauars for.increased-tension.-Renter. Spreint

However, the State Department is
