The Nationalist government, fearfully
battered by the japanese at Shanghai,
and fearful that Feng's insults" would
start hostilities all over again, attempt

All this fuss in the north attracted
attention in Canton, also none too
pleased with the Sino-Japanese peace

in Fukien Province and employing
American machinists on money loaned
by the United States.
The northern truce was not pleasing
to Canton political leaders, but they
did not appear disposed to make imme-

reports that this attitude was en-
couraged by a 100000 contribution
