CHINESE SPLIT,
TACTICAL MOVE,
NEWSP PAPER SAYS

SHANGHAI, April 20 P.-General
Sun Chuan- Fang, noted military leader,
may take an important part in the
campaign planned by General Chang
Kai-Shek, who has just set UP a new
government at Nanking. report from
Marking, widely credited but not con-
firmed officially, says that Chang has
appointed Sun Chuan- Fang northeast
ern defense commissioner. This, with
an article printed by the Shanghai Mer-
curry that the split in the national
ranks was merely tactical man
euver'' to save the lace of the national
ist government owing to the diff
culties arising with the foreign powers
in connection with the Nanking out
RACES, has been one of the chief topics
of discussion, as fighting has been vir-
tually suspended for the last two days.
The entry of General Sun Chuan-Fang
into the Kuomintang (the Cantonese
political party) would, it is said, be
advantageous to both. Sun is former
overload of the five eastern provinces
of Kiangsu, Anhwei Kiangsi, Fukten
and Chekiang, including Shanghai.
When the advancing nationalists (Can-
tonese) occupied Shanghai, General
Sun was pushed back into northern
Kiangsu. At present he is without
great power except for control of the
rich salt fields. These produce most
of China's salt revenue, totaling many
millions of dollars annually and there
fore tempting to Chang Kai-Shek.
For some time General Sun is under
stood to have been willing to enter the
Kuomintang fold under suitable condl-
tions Assuming the report to be cor
rect, Suns first task will be to con-
ouer Chang Chung Chang, chief aide
to Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, the Man
churian war lord and leader of the
northern armies, who controls the
grand canal north of the Yangtse
river, and also the Tientsin-PukoW
railroad between Pungpo and Tientsin
This accomplished, the nationallsts
would control the entire canal, impor-
tant additional railways and the val
liable salt revenue, with General sun
saved from extinction
Chang Kai-Shek thus would have a
decided advantage in the north, con-
of General Feng Ye-Hsiang, the So
called christian general" as general
issimo by the HankoW government.
With reference to the tactical man
euver, the Shanghai Mercury says
1.-The Kuomintang realized that the
attitude adopted at the instigation OF
Comrade Borodin CRussian adviser) by
Eugene Chen, the Cantonese foreign
minister, was impossible to maintain
and the new move creating govern
ment at Nanking was simply tactlca
maneuver to get from under. Wei
informed circles suggest that the sud
den desire to free the party from the
communist element is not sincere anC
that the Reds would simply go into
retirement until the storm created by
the Nanliing troubles had subsidized, the
new nationalists pleading innocence
and charging that the outrages hat
been committed under the old RED
regime
Responsible foreign circles asser
that if it is a political scheme, it il
being played strenuously, considering
the number of arrests and executions
of alleged reds.

When Governor Hunt called the first
session of the eighth legislature he
named legislation to provide relief in
his special call. Representative NJ. ].
Harmon, of Greenlee, in making his
motion for sine die adjournment of

us back, I predict that it will be use-
less (referring to any attempt at high
way legislation" The Greenfee repre-
sentative further said 1.-The lines are
drawn so hard and fast that they will
stand as they are till the last record
of them is blown away in dust"
During the morning session of the
house, Abell of Cochise, moved that
senate bill ia, by Jones, Maricopa be
brought out of committee and placed
on third reading.
After a spirited debate in which sew
eral hitherto majority representatives
spoke in favor of liquidating highway
debts, as provided in senate bill ia, a
vote to bring the bill out of committee
failed with % voting in favor of Abelrs
motion and 26 voting against.
1t was declared on the floor of the
house this morning that the creditors
would eventually be paid back
through revenues regularly coming
into the state highway department.
This was criticized by Representative
Abel, who asked for immediate pay
ment of what he termed IAN honorable
and just obligation"
AS in former days of the longest
regular session in the history of the
state, the house gallery was well
packed with spectators, many of them
creditors of the highway department.

BOOSTER FOR FLORIDA

TT UGGINS is great booster for
I'LL ST. Petersburg and Florida.
You know he expresses his
true feelings on the subject, for he
has nothing to sell.
He doesn't take seriously the set
back of last year, due to the burst
ing Of the real estate bubble on the
frenzied finance scale and the hur-
ricane that visited the east coast.
'You can't beat the climate" said
Higgins, and I firmly agree with
him on that point. 1.-THE State may
have its faults, but the climate is
not one of them" Then to illustrate
his point, he tells this sorry:
1.-TWO Irishmen, seeing Niagara
Falls for the first time, marveled at
the amount of water that kept pass
ing over the falls. Said one of them:
Just think, Mike, there is no
way of stopping it,
'It's the same way with the sun
in Florida" said Higgins, drawing
his parallel; you just can't keep it
from shining. So long as it con-
tinues the success Of Florida is as
sured."
After listening to Miller Higgins
discourse on Florida, L am sure he
could be just as successful a realtor
as he is a manager, provided he had
a leaning that way.

With Young out. the Giants will
