ANTI-BRITISH CAMPAIGN INCREASES IN CANTON

CANTON, Aug. 24 (Reutor) -Intensification of the anti-British press campaign has been noticeable recently in Kwangtung,

The "Shun Pao" this morning, under the heading "Can- tonoso Requesting Return of British Concession", says that os a result of British support of Chlong Kai-shek, the hostilities have bean prolonged and the Chinese are suffering bitterly, Hence the Cantonese are organising an anti-British campaign under the leadership of the Chamber of Commerco.

The article points out that the only solution is the rendi- tion of the British Concession, with the threat of "very serious, action to be carried out by the Cantonese within a day or two.'

Official Japanese sources, when questioned with regard to the articlo, said they strongly disapprove of the anti-British outbreak, while unofficial quarters do not beliovo that tho anti-British campaign will be carried beyond the press.
