SHANGHAI OPINION

Amoy Landing Prelude To Kwangtung Invasion

Shanghal, May 13, The China Press, in an editorial this morning regarding the Japaneso landing on Amoy Island, said that if Japan was planning an lavasion of South China extension of Sino Japanese hostilities was inevitable.

"In view of the dimculties the Japanese forces have encountered in Central and North China, a new venture in South China might be the straw that would break the camel's

back

The Japanese have taken enough on their shoulders, and they may be extremely ill-advised to undertake riskinig tintimely more, without collapse.

"It is to be hoped, for the sake of both China and Japan, that the land- ing on Amoy Island is only a temporary gesture."United Press.

ONTARIO POWDER BILL WITHDRAWN

Oltown.

The rejection by the United States of Ontario's plan for water diversion from the Kenogami River Into Lake Superior to increase power develop- ment resulted yesterday in the with- drawal by Mr. Arthur Slaght of his bill to license the export of electricity to the United States.

Mr. Slaght said: "It would be an act of international discourtesy for the Canadian Parliament to authorise any licence for power export in view of the dignified and courteous com- munication from the American Gov- ernment that it does not desire to tnport Canadian power. Therefore I could not sponsor any such private bill this session."
