Uncle Harry Talks About
TlUO Governments In China

Uncle Harry. what is the capital
Of China2" asked Helen.
"The capitals OF China are two In
number-Peking and Canton" re-
piled Uncle Harry
May be you thought I was ask
ing you a catch question" Helen
continued. but / wasn't. Lately /
have been reading in the paper
about the coming disarmament con-
ference and I have seen references
TO the two Chinese governments, and
1 have been puzzled as to just what
the situation Is In China"
81 don't wonder that news about
China and the disarmament confer
ence is a bit confusing" said Uncle
Harry. The state Of affairs In China
is somewhat puzzling
Two Governments of China.
I'm the first place, there are two
governments in China today. One,
the old government, has its head
quarters and capital in Peking; this
is the only Chinese government that
has been recognized thus far by the
Government of the United states
and practically all of the other large
nations.
"The second Chinese government
has its headquarters and capital in
Canton and up TO date has not been
recognized by any of the great pow
ers altho the foreign governments
have been urged to grant recogni-
ton to the government at Canton
and It is not altogether improbable
that some such recognition may be
granted before very long.
THE two divisions In China today
are frequently referred to as the
Government Of the North-which
means Peking-and the Government
Of the South-which means Canton
But as a matter OF fact the Cantor
Government, according to a number
Of dispatches that have read late
ly. has the support not only OF the
Southern provinces OF China, bu
the support OF a number of the more
northern provinces.
Briefly the history OF events II
China is about as follows;

retired. Since then affairs in China
have not gone as smoothly as was
hoped. and a considerable group Of
readers among the Chinese people
have declared that the Government
at Picking had fallen under the con-
troll of militarists and the influence
of Japan There were a number
OF uprisings and last May the South
ern Government was organized and
DR.. sun was elected president. One
of the articles l read just the other
day on this Chinese situation stated
/ that fully half OF the population Of
! China was supporting the Southern
| Government. Among the leaders OF

/ Ting-Fang. who is the foreign min
ister; Dr. Wu Is well known in the
United States as he was the Chinese

years under the old Chinese Empire
VIII south China BE Represented.
THE question as to how China
shall be represented at the Disarma-
ment Conference is one that is puz-
zling the officials OF our Govern
ment and the officials of other big
nations. DR.. sun has asked the
United States to recognize the gov
| ernment of Southern China as rep
resentatlve OF the Chinese people
and word has come from officials
OF DR. suns cabinet that the South
ern Republic cannot be bound by
any action that representatives OF
the Peking Government may take al
the Disarmament Conference. New.
dispatches from Washington lately
have stated that our own Govern
ment has indicated to the Pekinl
Government that the Disarmament
Conference would be glad to have
delegates representing the South ol
lCanton Government. Later we viii
learn what will come Of this sug
gestion.

JERSEY STATE ROAD
CRACKS AND CRUNIBLES

BURLINGTON, n. j., oct. g.
Automobiles using the new State
highway between Burlington and
Roebhng. a section Of Route 2, have
been surprised to discover that on
large sections the concrete roadbed
Is badly cracked and is breaking up
along these breaks. This develop
ment Is alarming State highway Off
cials. and repair gangs are kept busy
patching with tar compound to pre-
vent further damage by heavy trucks.
The cracking. it is feared, will
cause much greater damage If water
enters during the winter and freezes.
For this reason every effort Is being
made to seal the holes. Road en-
gineers believe the trouble was caus-
ed by improper mixing and by lay
ing the road over a too freshly grad
ed roadbed.
The state has paid for much OF
the road, although the Highway
Commission has not officially ac-
cepted and opened the entire sec
tion between Burlington and Borden
town.

Redwood: This name is a little
misleading at first. It does not have
the significance OF the syllables red
and wood in the present sense but
makes use Of red in the sense Of
"rid." meaning to clear. Thus red
wood" means a clearing in the wood
and the name was probably first
given to someone who lived in such
a clearing.
