HONGKONG, June IS Q.N.SD.
Japan lodged a second strong pro-
test against South China's anti
Japanese movement with the Can
ton government today, and Of
ficialS interpreted it as a preface
to more positive action unless Nip
pon's demands are met.
The protest vigorously de-
nounced agitation for stronger all
China resistance to Japanese &C.
tivities in the north. 1t was pre-
sented to Canton officials while
Kwangtung province sued for
peace with Marking as the latter
moved omlnously against Kwangsi.
In spite of the collapse of the
Kwangtung army's northward
drive, Marshal Chang Kai7Shek
continued to throw thousands
more Marking troops into Human
province with the apparent de-
termination to force the Kwangsi
provincial forces into a decisive
battle.
Marking already has an army OF
more than 10000 men in Human
and 100 bombing airplanes ready
for the invasion" of Kwangsi.
With japanese leaders, arms and
money said to be back of the
Kwangsi uprising. however, firm
Japanese opposition to any at
tempt by Marking to gain power
over that semi-autonomous south
ern province is looked for.
Frightened by the unexpected
show of strength on Markings
part, Cantonese officials ordered
the Kwangtung TROOPS to fall back
in Human, and today appealed to
Marking to withdraw some of the
northern troops
