Formosan Pot The Winner Men From Canada

Being Brought To Slow Boil

Tokyo, July 26. Reflected heat from the Chinese civil war on the mainland 100 miles away is bringing Formosa's political pot to a slow boil. That pot contains a variety of ingredients. They include the rising resentment of Formosans against their Nationalist rulers; the issue of Com- munism; and the desperation among top-ranking Nationalists who have chosen the Island for their .last stand.

London, July 26.—The Home Secretary, Chuter Ede, today blamed the London dock strike on a group of men from Canada who, he said, sot up an office in London towards the end of last year.
