posaI in Offering to
Resign.

HoNGKSNG. July 22.-The insur-
gent Canton government today an
nounced receipt of telegram from
Chang Hsueh-Liang. Governor Of Man.
churia, in behalf of Chang Kai-Shek.
President of the Nationalist government,
in which the latter conditionally offered
to resign and suggested that all China
unite in declaring war upon Japan.
The telegram assertedly proposed in
behalf of Chang that all provinces IN
China contribute toward sending $780,
600 troops to the Korean border as a
military operation against Japan. Since
the Canton government was represented
as not approving the war proposal the
telegram as yet has not been answered.
Willing to Resign.
President Chang, whose retirement
was set forth as one OF the principal
purposes of the formation of the Can
ton government. was represented IN tne
telegram as being willing to resign the
Nationalist presidency, but desired to
remain as commander in chief OF the
Marking army and navy.
Chang was quoted as having sug-
gested the elevation of HUI Han-Min
trative Council, the highest ONCE OF
the Nationalist government, now held
by Chang himself. The Nationalist
chieftain also proposed according to
the message, the selection OF Wang
Chang Wei. Leftist leader. as head OF
the Kuomintang, or Peoples party.
The Peoples party is the political
organization behind the Nationalist
regime. The organizers Of the Can
ton government are for the most part
members of the Kuomintang who bolted
the party because Of their opposition
to Chang Kai-Shek. They sought his
defeat on the ground that he had
schemed to establish an autocracy IN.
stead of working for full f1edged
republic, the original goal OF the reVo-
luton.
Leader of Canton Faction.
Wang Ching-Wei is one of the lead
ers of the Canton movement. HUI Han
Min formerly was head of the legis-
Iative department of the Nationalist
government, but was imprisoned at
Marking for a time for opposing the
plans of Chang Kai-Shek. Later HUI
Han-Min Joined the Canton faction.
The message in behalf OF Chang
was said to have suggested the forma-
ton of council of elder members OF
the Kuomintang at Canton and that
all important measures have It's sane
ton before becoming law. :.
The Canton government appointed
c. c. WI. former Chinese Nationalist
Minister to the United States, as chief
Justice of the southern governments
Supreme Court and head off its judicial
department. WI recently resigned as
Nationalist Minister to the United
states because Of his sympathy with
the Canton cause.
Chang Kai-Sheks alleged proposal
that all Chinese factions unite and
make war upon Japan recalls the
trouble between Chinese and Koreans
in three Korean cities early this month.
. The trouble started when about 500
Chinese attacked 200 Koreans at
Wampaoshan because the Chinese OBJ
iected to the employment OF Koreans
on an irrigation project there.
Shortly thereafter the Koreans re-
taliated with mob action which re-
suited in the death of many Chinese
and the destruction of considerable
Chinese property. japanese police
finally restored order.
Subsequently the Chinese Nationalist
government announced it had made
strong representations to Japan and
for time there was fear that repriSalS
would take place in Manchuria and
Mongolia against the thousands of
Koreans there.
Chang Hsueh-Liang who as die
tatcr of Manchuria was instrumental
in bringing an uprising against the
Chinese Nationalist government last
year to an end favorable to Marking,
subsequently was made vice commander
in chief Of the Nationalist Armies.
Since then he has been cooperating
with Marking in holding Northern
China against the other Northern war
