M0DERATES REGAIN
CONTROL IN CANTON
Right Wing of Kuomintang
May Aid Chiang-Backed
by Merchants.

News. Copyright. 1927.
HONGKONG, December 30.-After
weeks of anxiety and terror while in
the hands Of "Leftists," Canton once
more Is under control OF Right Wing
moderates of the Kuomintang. De-
tachments OF Kwangsi troops which
entered the city Thursday morning
are meeting with a welcome from
merchants, which Is regarded by the
commercial class as approval Of the
policy of the ruling faction. There is
reason to believe that the victors will!
be able to cooperate with Gen. Chang
Kai-shek.
Gen. Ii Fuk.lum's sudden departure
was the most startling development.
For about is years he has maintained
a stronghold on Ho-Nam Island, an
integral part of Canton, siding with
various winning groups in South
China's constantly changing politics.
Ii Fuk.lum has preserved law and
order in Canton as well as shown an
uncanny ability to pick winners.
In some ways the Chinese Com
munists in the Swa.bue district are
showing greater ingenuity than their
Russian prototypes. Reports from
Swa-bue affirm that the Communists
not only use the old Cheka terrorists'
methods, but add features Of their
own, such. as parading their victims
through the streets with rings through
their noses and ropes binding them.
Local newspapers assert there are
about $50 victims per day. A Chinese
so years old. and a friend OF the
Italian Bishop Valtora was put to
death by the slicing process. which is
barbarous beyond imagination. Many
members OF the commune are girls
and boys Is to IS years old.

Question Of Priority Causes Chief
Difficulty in Negotia-

Austria's desire to float a 100000.
900 reconstruction loan Is still matter
of discussion between the capitals in
volved, It was learned today at the
State Department. although there has
been no agreement on the terms under
which the transaction could be ap'
proved.
The chief difficulty Is that OF priority
to be given the projected loan. as com.

loan of $25, 900 900 made Immediately
after the war on which maturity has
been extended by the Secretary or the
Treasury TO 1913. and also with respect

Numerous suggestions as to an ar
rangement for the new loan that
would avoid these difficulties have
been made. Il was said. but without
acceptance as yet by the powers whose
assent Ia necessary.
