the last and that it would be fol,
lowed by a greater unifieation of
that country than has been its fate
in the last 10 years.
"The Cantonese forces are now in
Hankow,' he stated, "and it is verv
probable that by June they will
command both the Pekin and Shang.
hal area. This will place them in
eentrol Of all of China south of the
wall and with this concentration of
power in the hands of a single
sroup China is at last offered an
opportunity that it has not had since
