CANTON GOVERNMENT.
DANGER OF SEPARATE POLICY
POSSIBLE NATIONAL DISINTEGRATION.
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. PEKING, Feb. 24. The American organ, the Peking Leader, in an editorial, says: “If the Canton Government does not stop cargo seizures, it either acknowledges lack of authority over the strike pickets, or definitely repudiates treaties. For some time the Canton Government has maintained that it is independent of Peking, and has tried to get recognition by the Powers as an independent Government. Yet, up to the iiresent, it has accepted Customs administration as controlled from Peking. Much the same sort of domestic independence, with recognition of Chinese unity in dealing with foreign Powers, has been maintained by the other parts of China. This has been the basis of the attitude of the Powers to China. If the Chinese authorities at Canton and elsewhere refuse to assume this unity in foreign affairs, if may mean a breakdown of the nominal national Government. The Powers might then be compelled to deal individually with the separate parts of China, which would enormously complicate an already confused situation, and might even create a danger of partitioning the country.” —Reuter.
