UNREST IN CHINA
HOSTILITIES THREATENED DO WN FA LL OF G O YEI! N MENT NOT UNWELCOME. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SHANGHAI, March 0. Hostilities are again threatened 'in tins part of China as the result of almost a year of disagreement between the Hankow and Nanking factions. The Nanking faction, representing the recognised Nationalist Government, is mobilising a large force in anticipation of attacks from Hankow. Dozens of Chinese merchantmen at Shanghai and in the vicinity were forcibly commandeered, inflicting enormous losses on the companies. Several Nanking-con-trolled gunboats have left Shanghai en route for the Lower Yangtse. The refusal of the local money changers to accept the notes of the Central Bank of China to-day is regarded as significant of impending trouble. The downfall of the Government, which has unceasingly bled the populace and imposed the mailed fist regime, will not he unwelcome in many quarters.—Australian Press'Association.
