Canton, July 15. General Tsai Ting-kai, former commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army, which fought with such gallantry at Shanghai in 1932. but which was disbanded following its participation in the abotive Fukien rebellion two yerrs later, may join the South- west authorities in their cam- paign against Nanking. General Tsal arrived in Canton last night to interview high officials.

Although he had been approached previously with a view to obtaining his support, General Tsal indicated that he would not participate in any civil warfare. It seemed certain that the Canton overtures would be of no Avail. He would not leave Hongkong, he said.
