The climax to the enthusiasm evoked by Sir Cecil Clementi’s visit as Governor of Hong Kong to Canton was reached when General Li Chai-sum ordered the tearing-down of all antiBritish posters pasted up at the height of the anti-British feeling. It is also reported that the Canton authorities are considering the demolishing of the monument erected in commemoration of the Shakee incident, and changing the name of the street memorialising the incident of June 23, 1925, involving bloodshed between foreigners guarding the Shameen foreign quarter and the Whampoa Military Academy Cadets, led bv Russians, when a number of cadets were killed

There are.ominous warlike rumblings from Peking, where Chang Tso-lin is reported to be preparing an anti-Nation-alist drive, but local Nationalists are unperturbed.
