SOUTH UNSHAKEN BY

NANKING ATTITUDE ·

Canton, June 22..

Clarifying the South-west provinces' stand in con- nection with the recent expedition which marched into Hunan, Marshal Chan Chai-tong declared to-day, in a speech at the Weekly Memorial Service, that their policy of resistance to Japan was no new thing, but had been adopted since the Mukden incident of September 18, 1930,

For that reason, he said, Nanking's objection-to-an- anti-Japanese expedition was not understandable.

He explained at length the circumstances leading to the decision of the South-west Political Council to march against Japan, emphasising that although the Kwangtung and Kwangsi forces had been withdrawn to their own borders in order to avoid the danger of civil war, the South-west's anti-Japanese stand remained unaltered.

The South-west polley, he declar- ed, was still to seck resistance against

thei Japanese aggression under leadership of the Central Govern- ment, hoping that the Central au- thorities will show a determination to resist invasion and ax a route by which the South-west armies march north to participate in war-Renter Special..

And Chai-Long Chan Marshul

Kwangtung General Li Tsung-jen, and Kwangai leaders respectively, have again sent a telegraphic imessage to Marshal Chiang Kai-shek request ing the immediate discontinuance of the southward advance by the Cen tral Government troups.

The message sounds a warning that continued or increased pressure on the part of the Central Government against the South-west will result in such indignation and renetion un the part of the people of Ewangtung and Kwangsi that the danger of war will surely follow.

Continued Advance The telegram denounces the Nank ing command for continuing southward push in spite of the fact that Kwangtung and Kwangsl havaj withdrawn their troops, and urges make the Marshal Chiang Kai-shek t momentous decision on which the fate of the nation depends.

Jerusalem, June 21.

British troops, aeroplanes and police to-day fought with a large body of armed Arabs for several hours, near Tulkarem.

One British soldier, of the Seaforth Highlanders, was killed in the action. Three were wounded.

The Arab losses are put at two dead and an un- known number of wounded, but are probably heavier. -Reuter.

the Tulakarem engagement was the most serious clash since the Palestine riots began.

It started when a convoy, en route to Telaviv was ambushed at noon by some seventy Arabs, who were im- mediately erigaged by the escort of Scots Fusiliers.

The British escort was soon re- inforced by a detachment of Seaforth Highlanders, rushed up from Tuln- karem. Four military aircraft also took off from that point and co- operated most successfully with the ground forces.

Their arrival proved the decisivo factor in the engagement, for they split the Arabs into two sections, and speeded their flight to the hill caves to the north and south."
